The sound of treading feet echoed in the corridor. Duan Qing and several other people in the team were running on the stairs on the outer floor of the tower.
There was a short passage in the hole at the back of the wardrobe, and several people later discovered the spiraling stone steps in the secret passage. Duan Qing and the others had no time to think about why the stairs were built in such a secret place. From the moment they ran up the stairs, the rumbling explosions outside and the snapping of giant trees began to become clearer. In the gaps between the solid walls, large tracts of dust were being shaken down, making the entire tower feel crumbling.
"Kristine and the others still haven't come in yet. It seems like something did happen outside. And if the records in the diary are correct, it would be bad for them to come in..."
"But they are so strong, they should..."
"That's a magician from the ancient magic empire!" Duan Qing waved his hand, interrupting Mengzhu's words: "And you have all seen all the things that have happened in recent times. The conclusion that can be drawn now is... ....”
Duan Qing looked at Xue Ling Huan Bing: "In this place, there will be corresponding countermeasures against powerful forces. It is probably a mechanism similar to the one that strengthens when strong forces are encountered."
The black cloaked figure nodded.
"Since this thing is effective for us players, it should also be effective for NPCs. Do you think the sisters don't want to fight and sweep across the forest? They have probably suffered losses, so they don't dare to take action rashly. From the first time we met You can see it when you get to Christine. But now..."
Duan Qing, who was running, pointed to the source of the sound outside the wall: "They are fighting."
"If a battle of their level breaks out, it's hard to imagine how this forest will react, but no matter what...
"We're definitely going to be in trouble."
Duan Qing pointed to his nose, and then pointed to everyone: "The key to the problem is that if we are in a general virtual game world, it is normal for such an area ruled by a special mechanism to appear, but... .This is the free world.”
"What's wrong with the free world? Isn't it just a name..." Liu Qingniu had fallen into confusion.
"Because it is a real free world, so..." Duan Qing paused, and then said word by word: "You can use any way to explain what happened here, but you can't use 'games' Set' such a reason."
"Such a weird forest is impossible to appear in reality. Now that it has appeared in a 'real' way, there is a reasonable reason for it... Huh, now it seems that the name Emerald Forest is indeed correct. ..."
The sound of running continued in the revolving corridor, but silence still occupied everyone's side for a while. Although they did not read the entire diary, after knowing the contents of the diary, several people heard the name Jade again, and they felt naturally in their hearts. is different. After a while, Meng still asked: "In other words, everything is the emerald stone..."
"It's hard to say now. After all, more than a thousand years have passed. Although I don't know what era the so-called Phoenix calendar is from, and the room has not been damaged with the passage of time. But my intuition tells me that a lot of time has passed here. Over time, God knows what the emerald stone has become and what impact it has had on this forest..."
"A lot of weird things may happen in this forest now, and they may bring disaster. Freya was probably aware of this when she came here before, so she didn't act rashly, but asked her sister to send us away. Come in and let us figure it out.”
After running for a long time, even Duan Qing, who had more than ten points of strength, began to pant: "My current guess is this. Everything else should be revealed when we climb to the top of the tower. Damn this step It’s a bit long, we took a few breaks...”
Because of the stamina bar setting, except for the two high-level players Xue Ling Huan Bing and Duan Shan Yue, no one else can maintain high-intensity exercise for a long time, so every time they climb for a period of time, they have to stop for a while to wait for stamina. recovery - although this time often only takes a few seconds.
After climbing the stairs for so long, Duan Qing and the others have never seen a fork in the road, and naturally they have not seen what the other floors of this tower look like. It seems that this secret passage is probably a direct train from the bottom to a certain floor. Whether it leads directly to the top depends on their luck.
"To sum up, even Christine and Freya cannot use their full strength because this forest..."
"Probably, it's all speculation now. We can't predict whether they have the strength to compete. We're not even sure whether they can see this..."
"We can all see it. They are so powerful, so they must be able to see it..."
"That's hard to say. We are players, and we use game thinking. They are the results of optical brain calculations, not things from the same world..."
"I remember the first time we met the big sister in blue. She did run away later..."
"Hey, that big guy over there, you didn't encounter anything strange when you came here. Can you help us verify our current conclusion?"
"Hey, my name is not a big guy. And I have already told you what happened to me. Do you want to hear the story of how your Wings of Freedom ambushed us? How about we settle the accounts now... ..."
"You know that's not what she meant. Second Master...well, Duanshanyue, apart from that uncle who is proficient in all kinds of weapons, have you encountered any strange NPCs... "
"By the way, have you seen Trick? Well, it's someone who looks like Trick..."
"Who is that? Can you come here one sentence at a time..."
A sudden light appeared in front of them in this noisy atmosphere. Duan Shanyue, who was running at the front, was stunned by the sudden light, and then staggered when he was hit by someone rushing up from behind. He fell into the room in front of him in two steps.
It can no longer be called a room. Its ceiling has collapsed in half. A large number of stone bricks are scattered everywhere. The gloomy sky appears in the large void above, although the size is not enough to occupy the entire field of view. , but still illuminates everything in the room.
Duan Qing stepped forward in two steps and subconsciously looked towards the exposed sky.
"Wow......"
"this......"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Several people made different exclamations. In their field of vision, above the hollow, was the tall body of the Emerald Tower that they had seen outside.
But this time, they saw it from the inside - the inside of the tower was actually hollow, with nothing inside except the thin wall made of gray stone bricks.
Except for the stairs.
In the eyes of Duan Qing and others, countless stairs are intertwined and entangled, extending upward and upward until the end that cannot be seen. This emerald tower looked very tall from the outside. Now they were looking up so high that their necks were about to break, but they still couldn't see where the top of the tower was.
Perhaps because of the age, the walls made of stones leaked out streaks of light, and there were holes of all sizes in some places. Light pillars of different lengths and thicknesses criss-cross the inside of the stone wall, shining on the wooden or stone steps and intersect with those steps, giving the entire interior of the tower a blurry light.
In fact, it looks like an almost perfect maze.
"Such a structure... how it was erected is so unscientific..." Xue Ling Huan Bing seemed to be talking to herself, and seemed to be asking her companions next to her.
"Don't dwell on such a problem. The entire Emerald Forest is abnormal. As the center of this forest, of course it will be...even more abnormal." The person who spoke was Duan Qing, and Xueling Huanbing looked at him. , and found that the man no longer looked at the wonderful sight in front of him, but began to check the things in the room on this floor.
Perhaps because of the damage above, this room is obviously different from the previous room - the ancient atmosphere does not appear here, and decay has returned to the world here again. Duan Qing looked around and saw that there were broken bricks and tiles everywhere, scattered wood chips, collapsed staircase walls, and various broken utensils - time had completely destroyed this place, and the original appearance of this place could not be seen at all. .
Opposite the entrance through which they entered, there was an equally decayed wooden door that led to some other place. On their side, there is a stone staircase, but only half of this staircase is left, and the other half above does not know where it went. There were obvious cracks in the cross-section of the stone steps. Duan Qing looked at the cracks for a long time and then said: "It seems that this is still not the top level..."
"You're not talking nonsense..." Xue Ling Huan Bing rolled her eyes.
Duan Qing shook his head, and just as he was about to say something, Po Feng's voice came from above.
A black shadow suddenly appeared in the hollow above. Several people looked up when they heard the sound. Before they could see the appearance of the thing clearly, the black shadow ducked and disappeared. Before Duan Qing could figure out what was going on, a burning sensation hit his face.
In the hollow above, the dark sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the entire room was becoming scorching hot.
A huge fireball flew over in an instant. Just before it hit the tower, the spherical flame suddenly decomposed itself and then turned into sparks all over the sky, just like a ball of wool that pulled out the wool in an instant. Wisps of flames turned into strips and dispersed from there, flying, and then flew out in another direction.
The high temperature they felt at that moment slowly dissipated. Even so, everyone was still sweating. They didn't know whether it was because of the heat or because they were frightened by the scene just now.
Just as a few people were about to take a deep breath, another figure flashed above the hole again.
Everyone's nerves tensed up again, and then relaxed - that figure was wearing a gorgeous blue robe.
The figure stood still in the air, holding the staff, raised it towards the front, and then slowly spread it from left to right. Ahead of her, a huge wall of ice formed, shining aqua-blue in the sky.
"Everyone, you should have some understanding of the situation in front of you." The elegant voice belonging to Christine was accompanied by the explosion from the side, echoing in the small floor. Duan Qing could hear that this woman who has always shown infinite The charming magician did not lose her composure at this time: "Since you have seen what is in front of you, then..."
There was a clear cracking sound, and in front of her, a corner of the huge ice wall was suddenly scattered and shattered. The wall was falling downwards, turning into dots of blue light in the air, and finally disappearing in the air. The players below hurriedly protected themselves, fearing that some fatal attack would suddenly hit them, but the woman in blue robe in the air was still very calm. The next moment she even turned around and looked at the person at the top of the room on the tower side. Hollow. The gorgeous robe flew up slightly in the air as she turned around, revealing the smooth and white calves of the great magician, and then disappeared from everyone's sight again as the robe fell.
"Hey, this angle is really good..." Duan Qing said with a sigh. When Mengzhu stood nearby with a puzzled look on his face, Xue Linghuan spat softly with a cold face: "Pervert..."
"I know you have a lot of questions, but our situation is very...stalemate, as you have seen." Christine maintained the calm smile of a magician and said to the team in the hollow below: "So I’m just telling the important points.”
She suddenly raised her hand back, and a blue light suddenly appeared, and there was another crisp sound. It was probably that something was coming from that direction, and then it was blocked by her ice wall: "What you see is A maze, its actual appearance is different from what you see now. If you plan to walk through it, you will probably get lost in the endless space soon."
"In our world of magicians, we are used to calling this phenomenon the endless maze, which is handed down from an ancient spell."
Several players held their breath and concentrated, not daring to let go of every word she said now, but just like what Christine said just now, the situation in front of her did not allow her to do much.
"Unfortunately, apart from what I'm telling you now, you won't get any other substantial help..." At this point, she touched her face with one hand, looking sad. : "It's really embarrassing..."
There was another huge crisp sound on the huge ice wall behind her, and the entire ice wall became crumbling.
"We... have some understanding of the serious situation, dear lady." Duan Qing said, stroking his chest, then raised his head: "But please don't worry, we will solve the problem at the top of the tower."
He smiled: "This is our responsibility as adventurers, and at the same time... it is also your hope, right?"
"So, among these younger brothers and sisters, you are my favorite." The woman in blue robe seemed very happy, and even shook her arms excitedly, as if to encourage them: "I have great confidence in you. Oh, you will definitely be able to break through these shackles and reach the top...Old man, you are so annoying!"
The woman suddenly turned around, grabbed the staff and swung it forward. There was a huge sound in the distance. It seemed that somewhere she had been attacked by her anger.
"Are you sure we will end well..." Xueling Huanbing asked quietly, covering her mouth.
"Uh... there's no way out anyway, whatever you do is fine." Duan Qing replied wiping cold sweat.
"Okay, one last tip: If you decide to go up, as you go, remember... don't believe your eyes."
Kristine finished saying this without looking back. In the air in front of her, the huge ice wall finally slowly collapsed with holes in it. She shook her right hand and held a beautiful wand. Just as she was about to fly back to the battlefield, Duan Qing's shout rang out from behind.
"Miss Grand Magician! I have another...professional question."
In the hollow above, the blue-robed figure could no longer be seen, but Christine's voice still came through: "Time is limited...what else do you want to know?"
In the room with the wide ceiling, several people's eyes were focused on Duan Qing, as if they were waiting for him to ask some key question. As a result, Duan Qing cleared his throat and asked a question that none of them expected.
"Excuse me, what is the Planck effect?"
The people behind them opened their mouths wide, with expressions of "unclear consciousness".
"Huh...I don't know why, but..." Christine's voice began to become more and more distant: "For example, think about the Trick you met. ..."
"I understand." Duan Qing whispered, and then shouted: "You should also be careful."
no respond.
A smile appeared on Christine's face, and then she waved her right hand sharply. In front of her, there was another muffled sound, and as the blue light dissipated, a silent attack was released by her again.
"I have confidence in you, and you...you must also have confidence in us..."
she whispered.
"It seems... you are in a good mood, ahem..."
In a tree canopy below, Kangweina's skinny figure finally emerged: "Although your communication went smoothly, whether things will go smoothly after that depends on their performance..."
"They will do it." Christine said: "They are excellent adventurers..."
"Adventurer...hehe, I understand..." The old man's hoarse voice sounded very uncomfortable, and even Christine frowned.
"Do you really think that just the two of you can protect them..."
"It seems...we have been underestimated, oh hehehehe..."
The old man disappeared into the dense canopy again, and in the air on the other side, Christine raised her staff again. A huge explosion suddenly appeared in the woods on the other side, and a red fireball belonging to another battlefield rose in the air, illuminating the side of Christine's face brightly.
The battle is about to escalate.
"Do you really think, ahem...we will let those adventurers move freely..."
"What did you say?"
In the Emerald Tower, Duan Qing was still explaining something to the other people. In front of them, the unopened wooden door was kicked open with a bang.
Several figures broke in.
