Chapter 48: Ninefold Babel Tower, Kill All the Way Up (Medium)
'Da, da, da......'
The sound of footsteps echoed in the small space.
After entering here, Bai Shiying's eyes were this endless passage.
At intervals on the stone walls on both sides, there is a glowstone that emits a faint light, and in a dimly lit environment where it is difficult to see the five fingers of the dead and silent, this brightness can play a very limited role.
A flame rose in Bai Shiying's hand, illuminating the passage in an instant.
Before entering, she had been mentally prepared, the Nine-Fold Babel Tower looked ridiculously large from the outside, but she had been walking in this passage since she stepped into the tower, and more than ten minutes had passed, and there was still no sign of the end ahead!
As if to test her conjecture.
Bai Shiying stopped, her gaze fell on the mark she had left at the beginning, and the white marks from the dagger were very obvious under the illuminated glowstone.
"I really went around and came back, but there was no difference along the way, even the entrance when I came in was ......" The words stopped abruptly, Bai Shiying turned her head violently with a trace of surprise in her eyes, she remembered that after coming out, she randomly drew a trace at the entrance just in case.
There are no forks in the passage, and behind her is the direction she came from, which is also the entrance to the tower!
And now, the entrance - gone!
Bai Shiying had to admit that she seemed to be trapped here, no matter how long she walked, she would return to the original point in a circle, and it was impossible to find a way out.
His eyes swept over every inch of the passage, and his mind moved slightly, and Bai Shiying spread his spiritual power, and a picture appeared in his mind, which was the glowstone in the passage, faint and small.
Until.
"Interesting." She opened her eyes, and her mind caught a light source strong enough to cover the fluorescence.
Bai Shiying's gaze fell above his head!
"Found you!" Bai Shiying snorted coldly, and the spiritual power in his hand gathered fire and merged with thunder light.
A coquettish shout resounded in the endless passage: "Broken!" β
'Boom! β
With the boom and explosion, the stone walls in the passage shook violently.
Bai Shiying leaned against the wall to stabilize his body, his eyes fixed on the position above his head that seemed to be untouched, and all the spiritual power seemed to be absorbed and offset by an unknown force.
"There really is a ghost here, can you devour spiritual power......" Bai Shiying's expression showed a little thought, and in the next second, she sneered, and a trace of fierceness appeared in her eyes: "There is always a limit, I don't believe you can swallow it all the time!" β
If it doesn't work once, smash it a few more times, and if it doesn't work a few times, dozens of times.
Since coming to the Ninefold Babel Tower, Bai Shiying felt that the speed of spiritual power recovery in her body had accelerated a lot, and with the Nine Turns Chaos Spirit Bead absorbing spiritual energy and replenishing it in time, what she didn't have to worry about the most was the consumption of spiritual power.
Flames and thunder roared, completely illuminating the passage, like day.
"Boom, boom!!"
The spiritual power in Bai Shiying's hand was squandered like money, aiming at the same position, and he couldn't see anything in his field of vision, only the sometimes scorching and sometimes violent thunder collided and burst out with a violent highlight.
'Click-'
A crisp and loud cracking sound, slightly visible in the midst of a boom.
Bai Shiying keenly caught the movement, her eyes lit up slightly, and in her hand was a newly rubbed purple thunderbolt ball, and the electric light shuttled through it like a silver snake.
"Wang Ba's turtle shell is not as hard as yours, and it is still hard." She threw out the thunder elemental ball of light in her hand, and with a wave of her hand, the electric light around her body appeared and twisted and intertwined, and rushed straight to the direction where the shattering sound came: "Break it for me!! β
'Click'
Another crunch.
Above Bai Shiying's head, a crack revealed a glimmer of light!
The cracks were like cobwebs that gradually cracked in all directions, and the normal light swayed on the floor of the passage, as if to indicate that the infinite loop of existence had been broken.
Bai Shiying's bet was right!
But soon, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the air around her seemed to be distorted, and thenβ
'Click', 'Click', 'Click'...
The sound of continuous and dense cracking came from all directions, Bai Shiying's vigilant gaze swept around, and the cracks on the stone wall expanded rapidly, only in an instant, the cracks were everywhere.
In the quiet and small space, there was only the slight breathing sound of Bai Shiying, amazing!
"Boom la la ββ!!"
Countless fragments burst open without warning, what stone walls, passages, like mirrors shattered by an invisible hammer.
"Broken?!" Bai Shiying was stunned by the scene in front of her.
The picture was so weird, the normal place was torn apart in front of her eyes, not even the torn paper was so broken, not to mention the stone wall she had touched the passage that was indeed made of stones, but there was only a blank space in these scattered fragments.
It's like......
Erased traces...... The place where she was just turned out to be just a fantasy?
The surroundings were wrapped in strong light, and there was nothing but a vast white.
Bai Shiying closed her eyes and finally got used to it, and when she opened it again, her eyes suddenly changed into a gorgeous palace.
The ground under her feet is not like ordinary stone bricks, and the bright red color has a strong impact on vision, and Bai Shiying felt the surging aura from under her feet.
"It's ...... Spirit Stone!! Bai Shiying was almost frightened by the words she blurted out, but she rubbed her eyes and looked at it again, and even her voice trembled a little: "Good guy, is this the fun of rich people, taking the red rank spirit stone and it is also the best grade spirit stone to pave the ground?!" β
And that's not all.
The magnificence that can be seen everywhere in front of me, every place, from the huge throne standing directly above the palace to the small jewelry the size of a grain of rice randomly stacked in the corner, is all carved from the red level spirit stone!
"......" brain went down for a few seconds.
It's that she's so poor, it's even more outrageous than her dreams.
Patting her cheek, Bai Shiying took a deep breath and continued to walk forward, her gaze falling on the throne on the steps of the main hall.
Her intuition told her that maybe the answers to her puzzles since she came here could be found on it.
Even if the place looked like there was nothing but a ridiculously large chair.
'Da'
When the white boots landed on the first step of the stairs, Bai Shiying's expression changed suddenly!
"Ugh!" Can't lift it.
The huge weight slanted down from above, and her face soon turned pale, and small sweat frequently appeared on her forehead.
Bai Shiying didn't know how long it had been since she kept the posture of taking a step, until she could finally open her mouth to breathe, and her face was pale and faded a lot, only then did she suddenly realize that her back was already wet with sweat, and the bones in her body were still crackling.
"What a terrible coercion." She muttered, her eyes reflecting the crimson throne silently resting in its place.
So far, including the coercion just now, Bai Shiying has not encountered any danger.
But Bai Shiying always had a feeling that this was just the beginning, and she had to approach it step by step to get to the throne, and she didn't know what was waiting for her after that.
Just like the place I first experienced, there may not be a lot of places like that in the Nine-Fold Babel Tower.
It's like giving you a process of adaptation in advance, and then bringing you a big one.
Hopefully not what she thought......
Thinking in her heart, Bai Shiying didn't stand idle, and after resting for a while, she lifted her other leg that fell under the steps and stepped on the first step with difficulty.
"Bang!"
His legs slammed down on the steps, and a trail of blood seeped out of the hem of his skirt.
Bai Shiying gritted her teeth and held the ground with her hands, the spiritual power in her body was running wildly to resist the coercion enveloping her, I don't know if it was the effect of spiritual power, Bai Shiying only felt that the weight on her body suddenly decreased by a few points.
Sensing this, Bai Shiying did not hesitate, and a faint layer of spiritual power slowly appeared on her body.
One-step.
Two steps.
β¦ Step 3!
"Huhuhu......"
Bai Shiying gasped hard, there seemed to be an invisible hand pinching her in her throat, and the spiritual power on her body was emitting more and more intense, indicating that the consumption was also increasing with the passage of time.
Look at the last flight of steps.
Bai Shiying didn't dare to step on it rashly.
There were four steps in total, but she felt that the pressure on each layer was several times stronger than the previous one, and she couldn't relieve the severe pain on her body if she didn't stay for more than ten minutes.
Whether it is the internal organs or the bones all over her body, Bai Shiying has no doubt that if there is no protection and support of spiritual power, she will be crushed into a pool of blood on the steps in the next second!
Withdraw?
She wants to quit!
"Just a few flights of steps, wait for me to go up, cough, wait for me to go up and pry this chair!"
Bai Shiying glanced back, looked at the void behind him, and twitched the corners of her mouth twice.
What a magnificence, now it has become a one-way street that only allows entry but not exit.
She doesn't remember when she became like this behind her, but when she noticed it, she knew that no matter what she came here, she had only one choice in the end!
'Da'!
The white boots have lost their original snow-white, and I don't remember being smashed on the ground, Bai Shiying's jerky coping with the heavy pressure can only do to recover the strength to seize the opportunity to get up, and then continue to go up, and then be smashed on the ground, so the same action repeatedly, the blood stains left on each layer of steps are enough to shock.
Only Bai Shiying.
She's going to fight this thing to the end! Either it killed her, or she stepped on its head and continued to walk.
"The last step, just lift your foot and fall down, and you're there." Bai Shiying shook her head fiercely to sober herself up, her hair was sticking to her cheeks along the sweat, this feeling was not very good, but she had no time to care about it.
One last step.
Bai Shiying took a deep breath, her spiritual power gushed out, she lifted her foot that fell on the third step of the stairs, and the sharp pain from the collision of bones on her body almost made her faint in the dark in front of her eyes every time she moved to a point.
An invisible weight almost distorted the air.
"No, you can't." Bai Shiying bit her tongue, the rich smell of blood hit her brain, and the reappearance in front of her eyes was exchanged for clarity, at this time, even panting was throbbing, Bai Shiying's eyes were bloodshot and she whispered: "I can't even do this, what kind of revenge are you talking about...... Come up on me! β
Buzz Buzz β
Waves shook the void behind him, and the throne seemed to be close at hand.
'Da'!
The white boots landed firmly on the fourth step of the stairs!
Slammed on the ground again, and a few cracks cracked in the translucent red step spirit stone ground, but Bai Shiying's whole person was like a dying person who was violently fished up from drowning, and even the slight stinging pain that followed was insignificant when the air gushed out of the lung cavity frantically.
"Come up!" On the soft little face where the blood color had faded, a blush swelled up with joy, and Bai Shiying raised her head, and she was only an arm's length away from the throne at this time.
After breathing a sigh of relief.
Bai Shiying got up from the ground.
She stepped into the throne.
As the well-deserved protagonist of the palace, even if the whole body is only red, it does not detract from the majesty of the throne itself, Bai Shiying stands in front of it, like a villain breaking into the world of giants, and the chair legs of the throne are a "wall" in front of her.
Yes, if it weren't for the fact that she knew from a distance just now that this was a chair, Bai Shiying would have thought that this was a very large spirit stone circular wall.
It doesn't matter if you can't see it, the four legs of the chair are carved with lifelike patterns, as if to record a distant past, and the people on it have wings on each back, some depicted with gold and some with purple edges, and they seem to be two different camps.
However, it doesn't matter which side it belongs to.
These winged people all worship in unison towards the sunlight at the top, and in the sunlight, a graceful woman seems to be patiently listening to the people, and Bai Shiying can even see the fanaticism of faith on everyone's face in these outrageously detailed pictures!
Bai Shiying walked around the other side, and she couldn't see it above, but what was recorded on these four chair legs was like a complete picture of all the processes from birth to destruction.
The apocalyptic scene is painted on the leg of the innermost chair, and the faces of the once kneeling and pious people flee in fear and panic, and in the bright sun, there seems to be a man with no carved face watching this absurd, devastated and desperate scene from afar.
Very well portrayed.
But Bai Shiying is not in a good mood, she is still like falling apart now, these pictures may be priceless for some people who are obsessed with the past, and she just looks at the excitement and has no real use.
"Sure enough, it's still the most cost-effective to pry you out, a red rank spirit stone with such a pure concentration must be worth it...... Money? Bai Shiying's hand had just touched the throne, and the last word in her mouth had changed her voice.
She blinked her eyes and her expression was very terrifying, one second there was a cold touch, and the next second the throne ran away with long legs?!
Bai Shiying's outstretched hand touched the air like this.
ββ¦β¦β
The hand that was stiff in mid-air clenched viciously into a fist, Bai Shiying's expression was distorted, and he was angry: "As for it!" Isn't it just to pry you away and sell you for money, you-"
Seeing clearly, the throne suddenly moved to a distant height in front of him.
The stairs are too many to count, but they are definitely hundreds of stories high!
And in front of Bai Shiying, it was originally the end of the palace side, but now there is a huge and empty space! The main hall is dozens of times wider than before, and there is a clicking sound on the ground, and countless stone statues or people or beasts slowly float out of the palace.
'Whew! β
The next second.
The stone statues like dead objects are facing Bai Shiying in unison.
Bai Shiying's eyes were dull and softly unconscious, and she finished the second half of the sentence that she didn't finish just now: "Seriously......"
