He decided to start exploring the place, looking for clues and possible clues. In a spacious cave, he meets a strange young woman. She was wearing a long dark green dress, her eyes were clear and fragile, and she looked a little boyish.

"Hello, my name is Zhou Dezhou." Zhou Dezhou asked her, "Who are you?" ”

The young woman raised her head, looked at Zhou Dezhou with a smile, and said, "My name is Huayu, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhou Dezhou did not hide his purpose, he bluntly told Huayu that he was here to find Zheng Huan. Hearing this, Huayu sighed softly.

"Zheng Huan?" She bit her lip, "I know him...... However, he is no longer here. ”

"Not here?" Zhou Dezhou looked nervous, "Then where did he go?" ”

Hua Yu was silent for a moment before replying, "I don't know where he went." However, it is said that he may go to a place called the 'Ancient Tower'. ”

Zhou Dezhou felt a little confused, "'Ancient Tower'? Where's that? ”

Hua Yu shook her head slightly, and said with a complicated expression: "I don't know either, because this place is full of mysteries and secrets. The 'Ancient Tower' is a legendary place that few people have actually visited. ”

Zhou Dezhou silently recorded this information, and then walked out of the cave quietly. He now faces more difficulties and challenges, but he also believes that he has enough courage and strength to find his friend back.

Zhou Dezhou felt the qualities and abilities he needed. In the days that followed, he began a long and difficult journey. He traveled through forests, climbed cliffs, and crossed rivers, accumulating experience and wisdom in his constant exploration, and also met many strange people and things.

"It looks so dangerous here." Zhou Dezhou muttered while climbing the mountain, "I really hope to meet a friend to explore together." ”

Just as he stepped onto the towering peak, a hiss rang out. Zhou Dezhou's tense nerves instantly relaxed, but when he turned his head, he was startled: it turned out to be a black dragon.

"Be careful, it's the legendary black dragon!" A voice sounded beside Zhou Dezhou.

He turned his head to see a girl standing beside him in a beautiful magic academy uniform. She seemed to be from another world, and the temperament revealed between her gestures made Zhou Dezhou suddenly feel uplifted.

"Are you ......?" Zhou Dezhou asked in surprise.

"My name is Irene." The girl smiled and replied, "I can help you deal with this black dragon." ”

Zhou Dezhou was overjoyed, and the two successfully defeated the black dragon with mutual cooperation, and thus became good friends.

Erin shook his hand and turned her head to look into the distance, "We still have a long way to go, no matter what challenges we face, we must support each other." ”

Meng Lin took Zhou Dezhou through the narrow lanes, walked past the ancient buildings, and came to the square in the center of the city. It's bustling with people and cars, surrounded by shops and restaurants with enticing aromas.

"It's a local market, and it's very distinctive." Pointing to the surrounding businesses, Meng Lin explained, "The food from these vendors tastes great, you can try it. ”

Zhou Dezhou smelled the aroma of these delicacies, and his throat gurgled involuntarily. He ran to a small stall, ordered a barbecue and drink, and took a hard sip.

"It's so delicious!" Zhou Dezhou admired and couldn't help but have another bowl.

"Haha, I'll just say, the food here is a must." Meng Lin smiled and waved her hand, "However, you shouldn't have come here just to eat food, right?" ”

"Well, you're right." Zhou Dezhou put down the dishes and chopsticks, "Actually, I'm looking for a place called the 'Ancient Tower', have you heard of it?" ”

"The Ancient Tower?" Meng Lin frowned and thought for a moment, "I seem to have heard of it." It is a legend in the city, said to have been built by ancient giants, and contains mysterious powers and riches. But I don't know exactly where it is. ”

"So what to do?" Zhou Dezhou asked with some loss.

"Maybe you can ask Old Scholar Chen Ze first." "He's a well-known scholar in the city, so he should know a little bit about the Ancient Tower." I can take you to him. ”

"Really? Thank you! Zhou Dezhou said happily.

The two chatted as they walked, walking down the familiar street to the north. On the way, they pass by many historic architectural and cultural sites, stopping from time to time to admire and take photos.

"It's a beautiful city." Zhou Dezhou sighed, "There are so many places to explore. ”

"yes, it's a cultural powerhouse." Meng Lin nodded in agreement, "And the people here are also very friendly and welcoming. ”

Finally, the two came to an old building. The building is very grand, and there is a sign hanging outside the door with the name 'Professor Chen Ze' on it.

"This is his home." Monlin pointed to the door, "Let's go inside." ”

Zhou Dezhou followed Meng Lin into the professor's study. The study is piled with books and documents, and there are many ancient maps and artifacts hanging on the walls.

Thanks to Meng Lin's help, Zhou Dezhou went to the home of the old scholar Chen Ze.

Zhou Dezhou's heart is excited, he has always been full of a strong interest in exploration and adventure. Hearing the old scholar say that there were treasures and powers in the 'Ancient Tower', his enthusiasm was ignited.

"Teacher, what do you think we should do to find the Ancient Tower?" Zhou Dezhou asked enthusiastically.

"On this subject, I have to warn you that this is not a simple matter." The old scholar Chen Ze said solemnly, "There are indeed many dangers and unknowns in the 'Ancient Tower'. ”

"But we're ready." "We have found many books on adventure and adventure, and we would like to ask you to teach us a little more experience and techniques." ”

"Well, now that you're ready, I can help you a little bit as well." The old scholar Chen Ze smiled and said, "First of all, you need to prepare a detailed map and information, and I can provide you with some here. ”

The old scholar Chen Ze stood up, took out a thick book from the bookcase, opened one of the maps and handed it to Zhou Dezhou and Meng Lin. This is a topographical map of the 'Ancient Tower', detailing various environments and routes.

"Be careful, this tower is hidden in a lot of dangerous terrain and labyrinths that require some special skill to crack." Chen Ze, a veteran scholar, said, "At the same time, there are many mechanisms and traps in this, which need to be dealt with carefully. ”

"So what are we going to do?" Monlin asked.

"It takes some specialized skills and experience." The old scholar Chen Ze patiently replied, "And you also need to have enough courage and wisdom to complete this task." ”

Hearing the words of the old scholar, Zhou Dezhou and Meng Lin glanced at each other, and they could see the firmness and confidence in each other's eyes.

"Teacher, we will advance step by step in the Ancient Tower until we find the treasure and power!" Zhou Dezhou said proudly.

"Okay, I wish you all the best of luck." Old scholar Chen Ze smiled lightly, "But there are still some things to pay attention to before you set off. ”

The veteran scholar Chen Ze began to introduce Zhou Dezhou and Meng Lin to some things that need to be paid attention to during the expedition, including how to deal with emergencies, how to protect themselves, and so on. He also gave the two of them some special equipment, such as self-defense equipment and lighting equipment.

In the end, with the blessing of the old scholar Chen Ze, Zhou Dezhou and Meng Lin embarked on a journey to the 'Ancient Tower'. In their backpacks, they are filled with all kinds of necessary items and equipment, and at the same time, they also carry a brave and cautious heart, ready to take on unknown challenges.
