The nine-story tower stands tall and tall in the entire underground cave.
Standing in front of the tower, there is no need for lights. The entire space is still bright against the red light of the tower. Even if you turn off the headlights and other lighting equipment, you can still see everything in front of you clearly.
The lowest level of the entire tower has a width of nearly fifty meters. Going up, it is in the shape of a staircase. Each level is smaller than the next one. The ninth level, the highest, is the smallest, but it should be visible by visual inspection. About thirty meters.
Each floor of the tower is more than three meters long, and the height of the entire tower is nearly thirty meters. The entire tower is black, but against the red light, it looks a bit weird, as if there are red blood stains flowing on the black.
If a tomb robber sees this, he will definitely turn around and leave, because this kind of light shows that there is definitely something big inside!
But for Rhine and others, it's not clear. However, as extraordinary beings, their ability to reach this point also shows that they are powerful. Even if there are big goods, they are not afraid.
The tower body is in the shape of an octagon, with a strange stone beast lying on each corner, all looking into the sky.
The entire tower looked even weirder under the dim red light.
Especially the highest point of the tower, which is the source of the red light, is clearly visible to everyone at this moment.
Among them, there are several red tentacle-like things that protrude from the hole in the nine-story tower, emitting a strange red light, making people feel that these red tentacles are like the action of a monster.
But after Rhine saw this tentacle-like thing, he smiled inexplicably and finally found it.
At this moment, a "croak!" sound came from inside the tower, making everyone's ears go deaf!
Although the whole sound was not loud, it was like shouting in everyone's ears.
Fortunately, everyone was not ordinary people, and they recovered after relaxing a little.
Then, everyone looked up and saw a toad the size of a palm lying on the top of the steps of the tower.
The color of the whole toad is black and yellow and golden, and it looks very beautiful.
The toad was lying on the steps, looking at them through its big eyes, and making a cooing sound, which seemed to be saying something, but it didn't seem to be speaking, it was just making this sound.
But what everyone was very puzzled about was, was that loud sound just now made by the little guy in front of them?
Just when everyone was looking at the little toad, they saw the toad puff out its cheeks, and an air bag as big as a tennis ball appeared.
Before anyone could react, the little toad breathed out at them.
Immediately, they saw a puff of pink smoke ejected from the toad's mouth against the red light, and then quickly drifted towards them.
"Back off!" Rhine shouted.
Although I don't know if this pink smoke is poisonous, I can't come into direct contact with it.
But although everyone retreated quickly, the pink smoke did not slow down either!
Everyone could only continue to retreat. After retreating for dozens of meters, they had reached the edge of the barrier entering the central area, and they did not come into contact with the pink smoke.
Just when everyone was thinking about how to catch this toad, they saw toad heads popping up one by one on the steps!
In an instant, the entire steps were densely covered with toads.
They are all about the same size and the same color, there is no difference at all.
Then, with a cry of "croak!", these toads puffed up their cheeks again and spit out puffs of pink smoke at everyone.
Suddenly, the area around the nine-story tower began to fill with red smoke, gradually spreading toward the outside.
In just ten seconds, the entire tower was filled with pink smoke.
Rhine opened the defensive shield again, isolating the pink smoke from the outside.
But as the toad continued to spit out smoke, the pink smoke gradually became thicker, and then everyone discovered that after the smoke and the defensive shield came into contact, they began to crackle, and the two were canceling each other out!
It can also be seen from here that the toxicity of pink smoke is very powerful, otherwise it would not be offset by the electric defense shield, and the louder the sound, the faster the two will offset it.
Of course, the alien energy on Rhine's side was consumed faster, forcing him to constantly replenish energy.
Fortunately, when I went to the underground space, I prepared anti-virus measures.
So after the protective shield was opened, Rhine asked everyone to quickly put on protective clothing, especially gas masks and so on.
This pink smoke may be toxic if it comes into contact with the skin, so the protective clothing must not expose the skin at all.
Everyone, including Nangong Xue and Yan Kaixuan, put on protective clothing. This kind of clothing does not differentiate between people. Whether it is an ordinary person or an extraordinary person, the defensive effect is the same after wearing it.
After everyone was dressed, Rhine did not take off the protective cover immediately. Instead, he asked Kamala to test whether the protective clothing worked.
Kamala accepted the order and turned around to look around, and found that besides her own people, there were only two guides, Nangong Xue and Yan Kaixuan, who were outsiders.
Nothing can happen to the two guides now. The task has not been completed yet. Maybe they will be useful again.
Yan Kaixuan is a member of the Yan family. After catching him, he will definitely be able to be used when he leaves China. Besides, the martial arts families in Hua~ may have hidden strength, so Yan Kaixuan can't cause problems yet.
Then, it’s this woman! He was just an ordinary person and didn't have much effect.
After making the decision, Kamala stepped forward, grabbed Nangong Xue's arm, and motioned for her to step forward and step out of the defensive cover to test whether the clothes could protect against the pink poisonous smoke.
Nangong Xue's heart suddenly tightened when she saw Kamala's signal.
Although she is an ordinary person, she has not come into contact with extraordinary beings. Naturally, she can see how powerful the pink smoke outside the protective shield is, otherwise the protective shield will not corrode and crackle.
Feeling unwilling to do so, everyone will subconsciously avoid it when facing death, and Nangong Xue is no exception.
There was no way to resist, but she wondered if someone could stand up and stop this.
Subconsciously, she turned to look at Yan Kaixuan, but found that Yan Kaixuan did not dare to look at her at all, and turned to look in other directions.
Suddenly, there was darkness in my heart. From here we can also see what kind of person Yan Kaixuan is. I am very lucky that I did not give him a chance in the past.
Nangong Xue was still hesitating when Kamala pulled her again and signaled her to move forward immediately and get out of the defensive shield.
Because they are wearing protective clothing and respirators, although after putting on the respirators, they can use the intercom inside to achieve team voice conversations. However, as a hostage, Nangong Xue does not have communication intercom facilities, and it is impossible for Rhine and the others to give her communication equipment.
Therefore, he and Nangong Xue had no way to communicate and could only communicate through gestures.
Of course, Kamala only signaled that if Nangong Xue had not taken action yet, then he would take action for Nangong Xue.
Nangong Xue gritted her teeth, turned around, and started walking towards the outside of the protective shield.
Walking slowly but firmly. Since there is no way to rely on other people, in order to survive, naturally you can only take risks.
When he was about to step out of the defensive shield, Rhine waved his hands, and the protective shield directly opened a human-shaped passage, then retracted a little, and then immediately closed it. The pink poisonous mist immediately surged forward and enveloped Nangong Xue.
The crackling sounds continued, but it was impossible to see clearly what was happening to Nangong Xue. The poisonous fog was now quite thick, and the line of sight was locked within a one-meter range. As long as he was more than one meter away from the defensive cover, he could not see clearly.
Therefore, Kamala waved his hand again and called over a wind power user. He used the wind power to blow away the poisonous mist and see what happened to Nangong Xue in front of him.
After using the wind element, I found that the poisonous mist in front of me was blown away, but the poisonous mist left, right, up and down quickly refilled, as if if it blew away a little bit, it would be filled by the poisonous mist from other directions.
Fortunately, they also saw clearly in an instant that Nangong Xue was standing about two meters in front of the protective shield. He was not lying on the ground, but was still alive.
Rhine output the alien energy and expanded the protective shield forward by more than two meters, wrapping Nangong Xue in.
Kamala stepped forward, took off Nangong Xue's breathing mask, and asked, "Are you okay?"
Nangong Xue nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
She was worried just now, but after stepping out of the defensive shield, she found that the poisonous mist had not corroded her protective clothing. Of course, she also found that the skin around her body seemed to feel a faint tingling sensation under the poisonous mist, especially at the seams of the protective clothing, where the tingling sensation was somewhat obvious.
This shows that although protective clothing is effective, it cannot be used for too long. Once the time is too long, the poisonous mist may corrode the protective shield and affect the human body.
There is a simple operating panel on the protective clothing, which can display the status of the protective clothing and the sealing performance. Of course, the protection time is not displayed!
Therefore, after Nangong Xue noticed it, she did not tell her what she felt just now, but hid it.
Maybe the protective suit was corroded and she had a chance to escape.
Although the hope of escaping was slim, especially after experiencing extreme heat and cold, as well as the siege of venomous snakes, it was basically impossible for her to escape due to her status as an ordinary person.
But she still made up her mind to escape even so. Even though the hope was slim, compared with being coerced by others and being free, of course freedom was what she yearned for more. Even if she is receiving a box lunch, she has to make her own decision, not someone else making the decision for her.
Kamala checked the tablet and found that everything was normal, which meant that there was no problem with the protective suit in the pink poisonous mist! Naturally, Rhine gave orders to everyone to protect themselves, and then slowly removed the protective shield.
