Chapter 286: The Third Layer
Seeing such a scene, Pique's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly lost his voice.
In front of Pique, the skeleton squeaked and accepted Soros's bowing etiquette as it should.
Just now, Soros had taught him the etiquette of belonging to the Yodelmans, telling Pique: "Bow is respectful." ”
So, these two people know each other?
In an instant, countless images and voices appeared in Pique's mind, and finally they all turned into two introductions:
"I am Squeak, prince of the Yodelmans. ”
"I'm Soros, a Grand Duke. ”
One is a duke, the other is a prince, and both are yodelmen. So, of course, the two men knew each other, but by this time things were different, the prince had become a skeleton, and the grand duke had become a prisoner in the Tower of the Dead.
Sure enough, he only heard a squeak in a sharp and hoarse voice, "Soros?" He seemed to recall, and then asked: "Grand Duke of Thorn Flower, Soros?"
When Soros heard this, a smile welled up on his face, "It turns out that His Royal Highness the Prince still recognizes me," he said with emotion: "It's been so long!"
When they first met, the first thing Soros said was: "Your Royal Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
This sentence has not been seen for a long time, as if it has sighed for a thousand years of sorrow, with infinite aftertaste.
There has never been a more emotional time than now. Perhaps, the last time the two met, there would be high-minded talk and laughter. Now, however, both have become undead. It was hard for Pique to imagine what the two of them were thinking in their hearts, and he only waited for the next sentence to be finished, and then planned to say his purpose and go to the third floor of the Tower of the Dead to find Zhu Tian.
I only heard the squeak say: "Don't you recognize me too? Could it be that the breath of the dead in my body has awakened your memory? Soros, you were also imprisoned in the Tower of the Dead, was it Pique who rescued you? Hehehe, this is really a happy thing, squeak. He staggered to Soros's side.
Soros was a foot taller than him, but at this time he was hunched over, placing his body and squeaky at the same height. The respectful attitude is unmistakable.
Pique wanted to speak at this time, but was snatched by Soros: "Your Royal Highness, the matter between us can be said slowly in the future, at this time, there is one thing that needs to be relied on by your strength." ”
"You say Soros, you should know, I'm happy with the squeak of my master. ”
"I don't dare to call you by your nickname, I am more accustomed to calling you His Royal Highness the Honorable Prince. ”
The creaking voice was sharp and hoarse: "Soros, don't be verbose, I see that Pique is very anxious, you must be in trouble, about the real world? I guess there is another Odin bullying the Yodelmans, it's really infuriating, isn't it the guy called the little duke?"
"Not really. Soros said in a deep voice: "It's just a matter of the real world, and there is no need to bother His Royal Highness the prince to take action, Soros can naturally solve everything." ”
"What's that?"
Almost in a few words, Soros explained the current situation clearly.
"What? You asked me to go to the third floor to help find the biggest stupid pig in the world? No way, Soros, you didn't see how he treated me. "This abominable creature took advantage of my weakness and tore all my bones apart!"
The two men fell into an awkward silence.
At this point, Peake finally found an opportunity to interject: "Squeak, helpful squeak, this is my request to you." Although he was not ashamed, Pique still said it: "Please help me find Zhu Tian." ”
The skeleton's two white ghost fires flickered, and I saw him sigh as if he lowered his head: "Alas, I was caught by you clever guy, hehehehe! Okay, I'll help you, who made me squeak helpfully!"
Soros, who was standing on the side, seemed to have thought of something, and laughed slowly.
......
With the experience of the first two times, it was significantly easier to climb the gravity stone steps again.
When the eerie gravity was gone, it meant that he was on the second level.
Squeak and Soros had already climbed up the stone steps on the other side, silently waiting for him.
The three of them agreed to climb to the third floor at the same time!
The stone steps leading from the second to the third were noticeably more difficult, gravity slowly increasing as Pique lifted his knees step by step.
Finally, he couldn't hold on anymore and began to use both hands and feet.
He thought to himself that Squeak and Soros must have made it up the stone stairs on the other side to the third floor. Thinking of this, he resisted the strong suction of the stone steps and took a few steps up with all his might!
There was always an end to the endless darkness, and there was a faint light flashing ahead, and Pique knew that he was almost there!
There was no longer a need to save energy, and he climbed with all his might.
In fact, Pique already felt tired, even though it was a dream, and he still felt a strong sense of exhaustion. But he didn't dare to hesitate, afraid that he would wake up at any time, and then Zhu Tian would be imprisoned here for a whole day.
He wasn't always ready to come to the Tower of the Dead. Moreover, he was worried that what would he do if he suddenly didn't have this kind of dream about the fog in the future? If he never dreamed of the fog, then he would not be able to find the Tower of the Dead, and if Zhu Tian was not taken away from the Tower of the Dead in time, would Zhu Tian fall into a dream forever.
It's terrifying to think about, being locked up in a tower full of darkness, not to mention being locked up for a few years, for a normal person, it only takes two days to go crazy. Pique still remembers Zhu Tian's violent appearance.
Hoping in his heart, Zhu Tianbei lost his mind, and he finally passed the gravity stone steps on the second floor and came to the third layer!
The feeling of gravity disappeared from his body, and Peake suddenly felt a strong feeling of vertigo hit him. He was in a trance for a moment, and then he saw the scene of the third level of the Tower of the Dead.
First of all, what catches your eye is a white pillar of light shining through the window directly opposite the stone gate, the pillar of light is foggy, as if it contains some kind of magical energy element. Pique knew that as long as he walked into the pillar of light, he would wake up and return to the real world.
So after seeing the same pillar of light as the second layer, he first seemed a little at ease. As long as there is a way back to the real world, security is greatly improved. But the next scene made him feel a thrill!
I saw that under the reflection of the faint light, in front of the stone gate, a strange figure stood there!
Why is he weird, because Peake suddenly found that the figure was more than a foot high, round and round, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, like a huge "gourd monster"!!
What made him tremble was that this "gourd monster" swayed from side to side as if breathing, and its body emitted a faint green light.
Peake also found that the stone door was open, and a huge gap had been opened!
This huge gap is just right for the "gourd monster" to pass through!
So it's not difficult to come to a conclusion - this guy ran out of the stone gate.
And Zhu Tian's shadow on the third layer?
Soros said that as an undead in the stone gate, he can't touch the stone gate full of sealing power at will, so this "gourd monster" must not be able to run out by himself, and he must be able to come out if someone opens the door.
So, what about Zhu Tian?
On the opposite side of the hall on the third floor, Peake spotted Soros and Queak standing there, just like Peake, looking dumbfounded.
It always takes the first step, and in the face of such a monster, Pique doesn't know how he musters up the courage.
Peake didn't dare to make the slightest sound of footsteps, for fear of alarming it.
Although moving little by little, Pique kept his distance from the "gourd monster" in front of the stone gate. In a fan-shaped position, he came from the side of the "gourd monster" to its front.
Why did Pique walk like this? Because more than ten paces behind him was a pillar of light shining in from the outside, and if he found something wrong, he could run away at any time.
Squeak and Soros also came to Pique's side at this time.
They silently stared at the "gourd monster" in front of them, and they were speechless for a while.
Seemingly made of slime and a pile of rotting meat, Peake sees the "gourd monster" in a "swamp" look.
A thick green liquid flowed slowly from the top of it, all the way down its "gourd" body to the ground.
Peake also noticed a faint glow on it. The main body is green, and it seems to reveal gold and seems to emit a silver glow. Pique made it carefully, and only then did he see that it was a piece of gold and silver coins!
What's going on?
How is this "gourd monster" covered with gold and silver coins?
This strange sight was directly beyond Pique's cognition, and the "gourd monster" stood motionless, and Pique was able to continue to look at it, and to his shock, Pique saw a pitch-black blade sticking out of its "waist" a foot long.
Is this its weapon? Not like a samurai stuck a sword into its body. It's just that the samurai seems to have been inserted with the hilt of his sword, because the exposed part is a pitch-black blade.
The thick green liquid flowed continuously, from top to bottom, through gold and silver coins, and through the blade of the sword.
It swayed from side to side, each swing prompting more liquid to flow out of its "head". Peake wasn't sure if it was its head. Because until now, Peake had not been able to find out where its eyes and nose were.
If Peake had to look at it, he would have thought of the two gold coins attached to its body as its eyes, and the scattered silver coins as its nose and ears.
The mouth of the "gourd monster" is the most obvious, the top of its head is constantly gushing out of the mucus, undoubtedly, it must be its mouth, but why does this guy's mouth grow on the top of his head?
Seeing this, Pique didn't know what kind of mood he was in, and he wanted to treat this guy like a weird plant. I just hope it can't walk, otherwise it will be drenched in that weird slime, and it will be disgusted to death.
Finally, a puzzled voice came to mind in the air: "Is it excreting?" Soros wondered, "How can there be such a disgusting thing." ”
Standing there squeaky and staggering, he felt that the "gourd monster" opposite was imitating him, because the "gourd monster" was also staggering there. The difference between the two is that one is fat and one is thin, one is constantly lying in the muddy green water, and the other is there screaming and screaming: "This is the rotten gold monster!"
"The rotten gold monster, the rotten gold monster that specializes in eating metal?" Soros showed a look of sudden realization, "His Royal Highness the prince still has a wide range of knowledge!"
When Pique heard the name "Gold Monster", he thought it was a monster that specialized in eating gold coins. After listening to the conversation between Squeak and Soros, he understood a little.
It turned out that the long sword stuck in his waist was swallowed by him! No wonder the hilt was inside its body, no wonder it was covered with gold and silver coins.
The monster that eats metal presumably the gold and silver coins on his body are his food, just like a squirrel hides its food in a tree hollow, and it sticks its "food" to its body.
But how did he digest it? Peake guessed that the green slime must be very corrosive.
This was an eye-opener for Pique, where had he ever seen such a magical species, he thought that the timberwolves he had seen were already peerless. But the timberwolf is nothing compared to this rotten gold beast!
As for "high-level Warcraft" and "eighth-level", this is the first time Pique has heard such words.
"Such a guy has no natural enemies at all in the Endless Forest! It's not too much to say that it's a level 10 magical beast! Because there is no creature in this world who wants to provoke it!" Seeing the slime on the ground spreading outward, Soros couldn't bear to look at it directly.
After seeing the gold monster, Pique forgot even the purpose of going up to the third floor, and stood there and couldn't help but exclaim: "It has no limbs, how can it walk without feet, how can it eat without hands?"
squeaked and staggered, the ghost fire flashed in his eyes, and he wanted to stop talking.
Soros frowned. At this time, he was silent, as if thinking about Pique's question.
At this time, Pique was still looking at the "gourd monster", oh no, it should be called the rotten gold beast now. He's still looking for limbs on this guy's body.
At this moment, a black gas suddenly appeared from the head of the rotten gold beast that had grown into a huge gourd! That was the breath of the undead?
As this undead aura-like black gas came out from above his head, the green slime no longer flowed, but spewed out directly from the top of his head!
Bang Bang Bang!
In an instant, it was like it was raining, and green slime flew everywhere!
Fortunately, the three of them stood far away, otherwise......
Suddenly, the three of them were stunned, and they were shocked to find that an arm suddenly poked out of the head of the rotten gold beast!
They recognized...... That's a human arm!
