Chapter 195: Dragon Bone Prison
Twenty-eighth floor!
This position is already more than 800 meters above the ground. One or two floors further up, and you'll even be beyond the area of the Dragonman's Tower. Due to the relatively complex topography of this level, which was divided into seven or eight separate areas by criss-crossing corridors, it was the most likely hiding place for Gu Lan.
If you can't find it here......
The Liu sisters shook their heads, banishing the thought from their minds and continuing to search.
When passing through the main passage on the twenty-eighth floor, the six of them saw a large number of dragon corpses here, and the number was probably no less than hundred. Traces of various magical systems can be seen on the severed remains, probably because they have been killed for a long time, and a large area of blood on the ground has dried up. The color was slightly darker, and it looked particularly disgusting.
"Was there really so many dragons in Sky City before?" Lu Chengfeng asked suspiciously as he walked around cautiously, "If it weren't for the masters of the Mage Guild who came to the rescue, it would have been too dangerous here. Ordinary mages come in to find death at all, is it meaningful to do some kind of investigation?"
Zu Liang also put this question on hold in his heart for a long time, and when he heard the words, he echoed and asked.
Liu asked the most familiar with this place, and explained in a deep voice: "Definitely not! The Mage Guild's exploration of Sky City has reached the hundred layers very early. Under the 100 floors, it has basically been cleaned many times. On weekdays, dragonmen do appear here, but most of them fly in through the window, and it is very rare to form groups of three or five, let alone hundreds. To be sure, these are all gushing out of nowhere after yesterday's magic mutation. ”
I see.
Lu Chengfeng nodded, if this is the case, then it is not difficult to understand why things are so bad.
"I've searched all over it, but I still haven't. At this time, Liu Wenwen, who led the way, turned the corner, looked at the stone staircase at the end of the corridor, and reminded with some disappointment.
The scope of the Dragonman's Tower is limited to the 30th floor of Sky City. Further up, with the current situation of Sky City, there is no doubt that the danger will increase greatly, and the possibility of Gu Lan's survival will be even smaller. After all, when the witnesses saw Gu Lan, it was within the range of the Dragonman Tower. If she really wanted to escape, she would only run to the bottom, not up.
This means that the twenty-ninth floor is likely to be the last one.
"You say, will Gu Lan have been found by the previous mage? It's just that the mages who searched and rescued had other tasks to take her to a higher level?" Seeing that the Liu family sisters were a little worried, Chen Liu thought about it and said a possibility.
"When the mutation happened, there weren't many people staying in Sky City, and there were only two main cases. Moreover, the rescue team of the Mage Guild set off a few hours earlier than us, so it stands to reason that the mission should have been completed long ago, but I haven't seen any movement from them until now......" Liu asked and shook his head, his expression not optimistic.
"Don't worry about that, let's go through the twenty-ninth floor first. Lu Chengfeng made the final decision.
The layout of the twenty-ninth floor looks similar to the first two floors, divided into several areas by intersecting corridors. It's just that there's an indescribable silence here. The previous floors were quiet, but if you listen closely, you can always hear some subtle monster movements, or the sound of water in the fountain, and so on. But on this level, they didn't hear anything.
Except for the movement of the six, the silence around was simply terrifying.
"Aren't there any monsters on this level?" After coming up the stone staircase on the west side, they walked half down the main cloister, but they didn't see any traces. Liu Wenwen was puzzled, not wanting to suddenly see a black sculpture in front of him, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What is that?"
When he shouted like this, the six people looked over one after another, and they were all shocked.
The black sculpture that appeared in front of them was a lifelike magician. Because it was so realistic, Lu Chengfeng could even see the look of fear and shock on his face. At first, Lu Chengfeng wondered why such a realistic sculpture was placed here. But after a few more glances, he realized that this sculpture was actually a real person, and his face couldn't help but change.
"It's a fifth-order mage of the Mage Guild. Ryu asked, looking a little frightened.
Liu Yubing suppressed the shock in his heart, stepped forward to take a closer look, condensed an ice spike and knocked it, and muttered: "It looks like I have been hit by a spell with a petrification effect, and I can't help it." ”
From his expression and the actions he prepared to be vigilant, it could be seen that the petrification magic of that unknown enemy should be so terrifying that it could completely petrify a fifth-order mage in an instant. This discovery made the six people more vigilant. After all, even if you are hit by other spells and get seriously injured, you still have a chance to fight back. But once petrified, there is no way to fight back.
After continuing to walk a few steps forward, Liu Yubing looked at the scene near the fork, and couldn't help but turn pale: "Look, there are still here!"
Near this inexplicably petrified statue, there are four petrified sculptures scattered around. These are all mages who entered Sky City before, and one of them is even a rescuer sent later. The five petrified statues had different movements, but their expressions were all full of fear. The impactful distorted faces, combined with the silent silence around them, gave people a creepy feeling.
"Who the hell made them like this?"
This thought arose in the hearts of all six people. You must know that except for a fourth-order, the strength of these mages is at least five or sixth-order, which is not inferior to the six people present. That unknown thing, if it can petrify these mages, it can naturally threaten them!
It's just that there really is such a powerful petrification spell in this world?
Looking at the pale faces of several teammates, and then at these sculptures that were petrified almost at the same time, Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but have doubts. Humans and mages in the Terra realm are not without control of the effects of similar petrification spells. But such a spell, unless the strength is too much, the effect is not so fast at all, and it may even be resisted by the target's magic after being partially petrified. Like this, he easily petrified four or five in succession, which he had never heard of.
Unless, within the scope of the Dragonman Tower of this Sky City, there are demonic beasts with strength in the eighth or even ninth order.
In that case, it might be possible!
But is that possible?
For so many years, the Mage's Guild has been secretly studying Sky City. If there is really such a strong monster under the hundred layers, it will definitely be solved by the Mage Guild as soon as possible, and it is impossible to survive at all. Even if something unknown appeared in the magic mutation yesterday, it would not suddenly appear a **-level monster.
Perhaps, it was somewhere that was neglected by himself.
Thinking like this, Lu Chengfeng carefully looked at these sculptures. What if these mages who appear to have been turned into stone sculptures are not under petrification magic, but are being used by some other means?
This thought made Lu Chengfeng vaguely think of something. It's just that he didn't catch the light in a hurry. But one thing is certain, most of these petrified mages have fallen for other means. Moreover, the strength of that unknown enemy is definitely not as strong as expected. Maybe it's true that they are more powerful than them, but it's definitely not to the point of the eighth order, or even the ninth order!
Just as Lu Chengfeng was pondering, Liu Wenwen recovered from the shock and asked with some trembling, "Let's ...... Do you want to go on?"
With such a terrifying monster here, it was impossible for that Gu Lan to survive. If you continue to search, there is a chance that ** will be missed, and if you don't do it, you will put yourself in. The Liu sisters were able to find this place for her personally, and they were already benevolent and righteous. No matter who it puts on it, nothing can be blamed. If he could, Ryu who was full of horror in his heart asked, and he wished he could turn around and leave immediately.
“...... Go on!"
The Liu family sisters were also a little hesitant, but they were quickly dispelled by the firmness in their eyes. Liu Yubing clasped her sister's hand, and while cheering each other on, she said: "I admit that the possibility of Gu Lan's survival is indeed not high, but even if she wants to leave, at least she must finish searching this layer, and she should be an explanation." If she really escaped to the thirtieth floor in reverse, it could only be said that it was her life. ”
Lu Chengfeng shrugged his shoulders and was the first to say, "I don't care." ”
As a sixth-order master, Zu Liang had great confidence in his Dragon and Tiger Thoughts, so he also said: "Anyway, it's only half a layer, there shouldn't be a problem, and I agree." ”
Seeing his boss's statement, Chen Liu immediately agreed.
The left and right are only half a layer, Liu Wendong thought about it, and also felt that he should not be so memorized, so he continued to search. In this strange and solemn atmosphere, the six of them checked the area on the south side of the main cloister, but still found nothing. Eventually, the six of them came to the last cloister, which was almost completely separate.
This cloister is located on the north side of the 29th floor. Because one side is a cul-de-sac, and the other side is located near the spiral stone staircase on the east side, it is almost isolated from the rest of the area. However, its area is relatively large, accounting for more than a quarter of this floor.
The six of them all knew that if there was no trace of Gu Lan here, then her hope of survival would be very slim.
With a little hesitation, even a little fear, the Liu family sisters took the lead in entering this independent corridor, and then they saw Gu Lan at the end of the corridor, who was locked in a prison composed of ten keel fences. Seeing the six people appear, her dull eyes, which had been numb and full of panic, suddenly appeared with surprise. It was a sign of desperation and hope! But, in a split second, she thought of something terrible, and shook her hand desperately at a few people. She opened her mouth to shout something hoarsely, but she was afraid that the sound would attract the monster, so she could only look at them desperately and let the six of them leave!
