Chapter 44: Earl Reappears
The broken building masonry is strangely suspended at the feet, as if it has been frozen in time at the moment of bursting and scattering, imprisoned in absolute space.
The whole church is like an upside-down bamboo shoot, growing from the foot down, the sky is below, and the earth is above.
The purple-black sky light came from far away beneath your feet, between the walls of the destroyed buildings, and it made people nervous to watch.
The edges of the masonry's cracks solidify green crystals, mirrored by the emerald staircase that flows like silk into the depths of the underground sky.
Nan Jinyu's eyes were scorching, and he stepped up the stairs one step at a time, and his boots made a crisp sound when he stepped on the spar stairs, and the echo was swallowed up, making it seem that there was nothing and nothing around him.
The emerald staircase is quite wide, enough for three people to pass side by side, but there are no handrails on either side of the stairs, and if you step on the air, you will fall directly.
Falling into the sky?
Nanshu looked down, and at the end of this staircase should be the domed palace of the church, which is the road to Melissa.
He doesn't know much about the Upside-Down Tower, except that this is the only way to clear the "game".
However, the church seemed much safer than the last dungeon he had encountered in the last "game", with no dark plane-time turbulence and no dreaded guardians.
But he knew that the Upside Down Tower would never let them pass so easily, and that it was the final level to protect the key to the level.
"This place is weird and interesting," Duanmu Heng followed behind Nan Jinyu, looking around curiously.
"Damn, my world is falling apart!" An Zhizhi didn't take two steps before she looked dizzy and leaned on Bai Fei next to her.
Nan Shu and Fang Yi walked last.
The expression on Fang Yi's delicate face was not well controlled, and he was nervous at first glance.
Nan Shu couldn't help but be funny, if this was a human in a sixth-level disguise, would he praise it for being realistic, or would he praise him for being cowardly?
"You haven't seen this place?" Nanshu asked.
It stands to reason that the high-level monsters of the Novice Village, even if they are level six, will never have seen the Upside Down Tower, and it is pure nonsense for him to ask this.
"Of course not!" Fang Yi turned his head and glared at the masked boss beside him, "I've been shopping in the city center to make a living, and I haven't ventured out at all, let alone fighting monsters, how have I ever seen such a scene!" ”
Nanshu, "............"
I haven't seen it, I haven't seen it, what are you so excited about.
"Then you turned out to be a master of 'Huarong Dao'," Nan Shu said meaningfully.
Fang Yi was stunned for a moment and whispered, "...... That's just luck. ”
Nan Shu raised his eyebrows undeniably, but no one else could see what expression he had......
A few people walked on the jade staircase for a while, and Nan Shu looked back to see that the surface above had already left them, but the sky dome below was still far away, and it didn't seem to have shortened the distance much.
Nan Shu looked around at the shattered buildings around him in surprise, "Oh no, this space is expanding!" ”
"What do you mean?" Nan Jinyu in front turned around and asked.
"The top floor of the church is getting farther and farther away, we need to hurry!" Nan Shu rose to his feet.
"Hey, the big guy will take me!" Fang Yi immediately became anxious when he saw Nan Shu flying.
Duanmu Heng glanced back, flew over and grabbed his arm, and picked him up like a little chicken.
Nan Shu's mood was slightly gloomy, it turned out that it was not that this upside-down tower was stable in time and space, but that it had just formed, and it had not had time to break and shatter!
Fortunately, only Fang Yi was the only one who entered here and had no ability to fly, and they swooped down over the stairs, and the speed was extremely fast.
Nan Shu reacted suddenly, the existence of the upside-down tower, the energy is fixed, once it expands, the space in the thin energy will definitely be torn apart, if he didn't pass before the level disappeared, or even entered, then wouldn't he stay in the "game" forever last time!
Hiss...... Nan Shu realized it later, and a cold sweat broke out.
If you want to come out of the "game" alive, you really can't have the slightest mistake!
After a few people flew for a while, Nan Jinyu suddenly stopped in the air and frowned, "No, Xiaoshu, why hasn't the stairs around us changed?" It's still the same paragraph. ”
"That's true," Bai Fei also hovered in mid-air, looking up, "It seems that after leaving the stairs, our progress has stopped." ”
Nan Shu was stunned, he didn't expect this to happen, after all, he was just an ordinary person before, and he had no chance to leave the ladder at all.
Nan Jinyu flew back to the stairs and swept forward, and sure enough, he distanced himself from them in an instant.
She beckoned, "Come back, this place doesn't allow us to have the shortest straight line between the two points, so we can only run the steps." ”
"That's right, at least there are no ghosts hitting the wall," Duanmu Heng smiled.
Nan Shu admires, worthy of the halo of the male protagonist, and his mentality is so good at this time.
Mom's acuity also made him staggered, and he didn't even realize the situation with his customs clearance experience, and Mom found out so quickly!
A few high-level steps flew down the jade steps, not really running the steps, just returning to the steps to fly, Fang Yi was still pitifully carried by Duanmu Heng in his hands.
Nanshu finally felt the sky dome slowly approaching.
Everything seems to have gone a little too well.
"That's a long staircase!" An Zhizhi couldn't help but shout, "Is this really the height of the church, it only takes a moment for us to fly up!" ”
"It feels like we've flown enough distance from the city center to the suburbs, and we haven't landed yet!"
Nan Jinyu looked back at her, with an elder-like loving smile on her face.
Suddenly, the smile on her face froze.
Beside Nan Shu in the rear, there was no warning at all, and a huge monster figure appeared out of thin air, crashing into the unprepared Nan Shu!
Nan Jinyu didn't have time to move, and exclaimed, "Little tree! ”
"Roar! - Damn the human power! ”
Nan Shu was also stunned, he stopped in place, nothing happened to his body, and the protective film did not decrease, only a little energy was consumed.
The monster's voice and appearance are familiar......
"Earl!" Nan Shu's eyes were full of shock, it was still Earl after the rage!
Nan Jinyu saw that his son was not injured at all, so he relieved himself and frowned, "Oops, isn't this the monster I just saved you before?" ”
The furious monster was filled with rage, and its huge claws slapped down on Nanshu.
"yes...... Level five," Nan Shu easily stepped out of the way, "I didn't expect that there would be crystal nuclei sent to the door in such a closed space." ”
Snort –
Huge thorns pierced up from the jade staircase at the foot of Nanshu, and delicate roses quickly sprouted on the thorns.
"Wow, this monster can grow flowers!" An Zhizhi smiled and was about to pick it.
"Don't touch that thing!" Nan Shu's side flew by with a flying blade, chopping up the petals.
The roses immediately withered after leaving the rhizomes, melting into a blood-red slurry.
"Oops, it's disgusting!" An Zhizhi jumped back, a small golden shield in front of him, and the blood-red viscous liquid splashed on the golden shield with a sizzling sound.
I don't know what kind of material this jade ladder is, but it hasn't been melted by this dangerous plasma.
"Is this a chance to get revenge?" Nan Jinyu was a little inexplicable.
Nanshu easily dodged Earl's furious attack and did not kill it easily.
His mind is also running rapidly, and now the fifth-level Earl can't do him any harm even if he goes berserk, and there are 10 layers of sixth-level protective film on his body, and he will fight hard for a long time when he stands in this way.
But why is the dead Earl here?
And without warning, he suddenly appeared out of thin air, which was obviously aimed at him!
"Hey, do you remember Pach?" Nanshu shifted a little to the side, dodging Earl's claws as if he were walking, and asked tentatively.
"Pach...... Roar! The Pach I worked so hard to cultivate! The monster became even more furious.
It stepped heavily on the emerald staircase, jumped high, clenched its hands into fists, raised its arms and smashed down like a hammer!
"Why is Pach so important? Is it because it will evolve into Melissa? Nan Shu's toe thruster moved slightly, and the person flew backwards like a leaf, asking very sharply.
Melissa...... Damn, why would humanity know! Earl's eyes flashed red, and he seemed to be more angry, but also a little sober.
"Tsk, can't you see that I have Melissa on me?" Nanshu feigned contempt and opened his arms to expose his chest to the monster.
The monster Earl visibly paused in his attacking stance, incredulous, "What!?" ”
Its huge fingers and claws gently hooked, as if it didn't dare to touch Nan Shu, and a trace of familiar energy leaked out from Nan Shu's body, although it couldn't be seen, it could indeed be recognized!
Earl shook his demonic horned head, "This can't be! ”
"How could Melissa be with humans! Roar! ——”
"Traitor! Traitor to God! Hoohoo! The monster Earl was furious, as if he wanted to destroy everything, and the huge thorns instantly covered the emerald staircase, and a large number of branches quickly opened up bright roses and covered the sky to the south.
Nan Shu was shocked, if he deliberately led the guess, it actually made Earl even angrier than if he had been fatally injured, if Earl had attacked him like this before, he would have died a long time ago!
"So the container is for something!" Nanshu asked loudly.
"Traitor! The vessel has rebelled against God! You all deserve to be destroyed! Earl the monster roared.
Nanshu, "......"
Can't answer this, friend?
The blazing light of the fire stopped the dark green and bright red, and the thorn rose turned to ashes in a golden red.
Nan Jinyu stood on top of the stairs in the air and urged, "Little tree, quickly collect the crystal nucleus and leave." ”
Nan Shu shrugged helplessly, "Well, it doesn't look like I can ask anything." ”
The flying blade swirls black light and slices towards Earl's massive head.
But the monster Earl didn't even look at him, and after the rage, his red eyes widened, staring at the woman standing in the air, and muttering, "Flame...... God's greatest enemy......"
Bang......
The monster's mountain-like body fell, and the rolling head still seemed to have a frightened and worried expression, and Nan Shu was just about to dig the crystal nucleus, when he saw the monster Earl's body disperse like dust.
"Uh, what about kidding me?" Nanshu stared at the place where the monster had disappeared.
"Let's go, after a delay, the destination has become farther away," Nan Jinyu pointed to the dome palace that was moving away below, "If we can't catch up with the end of the stairs, we may be trapped here forever?" ”
Mom finally felt a little like entering the game, and Nan Shu was very pleased.
"Not necessarily," he said in a relieved tone, "we may be in this place when it swells to pieces, and we may be lost in some space-time turbulence, or we may fall into a space-time gap and wander forever, experiencing endless darkness and the feeling that time has lost its meaning." ”
Nan Jinyu, "............"
An Zhizhi and Bai Fei both had not very good faces, and they sped up a little.
Duanmu Heng, who was carrying Fang Yi, gasped, "Brother, I thought you were comforting us......"
