The speed of the awning boat seemed to have accelerated a lot, and the sound of the pattering wind gradually became louder.
Zhang Ming's pupils dilated, at that distant sea level, under the round red moon...
He saw a black line perpendicular to the sea and sky. The unparalleled height seemed to be ten thousand meters high, leading to the red moon.
Tower!
That is an extremely huge tower!
The silent tide flooded the earth, and the sacred tower reached into the clouds, guarding the ancient legends and remained unchanged for countless years.
The sharp lines of the stone carvings with broken wings depict the dreams of the past; the symbols and words on the dusty clay tablets tell the story of past glory.
Let's build a tower!
We challenge the gods!
Zhang Ming couldn't help but stand up from his position, shocked by this unimaginable wonder of the world, and also surprised by the power and richness of the creator of the tower.
He couldn't help but recall a legendary story on Earth, the Tower of Babylon. According to legend, the Tower of Babylon was a tower built by mankind at that time in the hope of leading to heaven. In order to stop the plan, God asked humans to speak different languages so that humans could not communicate with each other. Since then, humans have scattered.
But the tower in front of us is undoubtedly even better than the legendary Tower of Babylon.
Ten thousand meters... ten thousand meters in height!
The red moon seemed to be frozen in the sky above the tower, motionless.
Zhang Ming had some vague guesses in his heart. Maybe... it was this wonder of the world that restrained the boundless power of the Red Moon Demon God.
"It's so powerful. This civilization... Even if you only have a glimpse of it, you can feel their powerful spirit." Zhang Ming couldn't help but praise, "Using the supernatural to fight the supernatural, what a strength."
"Tell me, why did Xuanwu choose the weak race of Flame Horn people in the first place? Your life has become a hundred times less enriching by joining this powerful race?"
Shimama remained silent, as hot as lava, searching her guts but unable to refute.
But it was impossible for Xuanwu to join a powerful race...
Although Xuanwu is not like the stupid Pelican who "acts throughout his life and is no weaker than others", he cannot just let go of his body and be enslaved by others.
What's more, this civilization's intention to hunt the demon god obviously paid a huge price.
This world has withered, the continent has completely sunk, and only a solitary tower is left standing on the ocean. Apart from this, there are no traces of civilization.
"It's all the same." Shimama said.
"The same? According to you, of course it is the same, everyone is the same. Who is immortal in the world, a pink skull, a handful of loess is the final outcome. But the process in the middle is what we are pursuing, right?" Zhang Ming sighed.
The awning boat sailed very fast, and after about an hour and a half, it finally reached the bottom of the giant tower.
Looking up at this world wonder here, one feels the indescribable hugeness, like a paramecium under the feet of the Titans, trapped in the legend and unable to discern its direction.
Zhang Ming estimated that the diameter of this tall tower was as large as a city. He didn't know how this huge artificial structure was built - at least the people on earth definitely did not have such productivity.
Below the tower, there may be an area of three to five hundred meters that has been submerged by sea water.
Nothing can resist the erosion of time, and dense seaweed and molluscs treat this place as a new paradise.
The walls are carved with exquisite and vague murals. On a certain magical day, the priests danced mysterious dances, and the girls put palm branches on their chests. Only the tambourine could interpret their calls; in the distance, The place where the earth meets the sky, dots of green are flashing, and the white dove carries back the olive branch from there, allowing the flood to recede and all things to be reborn.
It is a species that looks similar to humans and seems to be filled with a strong religious atmosphere.
What is different from humans is that there is a diamond-shaped gem-like crystal in the center of their foreheads.
This mysterious gem-like crystal can be seen even on the walls of tall towers.
Rows of prismatic crystals are like stars, densely embedded in the wall. Even after countless years, they still exude a mysterious halo under the moonlight. At first glance, even in such a small area in front of you, There are hundreds of them. There are even more unknown numbers in the entire tower.
Zhang Ming is not sure whether these diamond-shaped gems are a special kind of ore, or whether they grow on the heads of this species.
After observing for a moment, he decided to name this intelligent race "Blue Crystal People". The name was just a code name, as long as you could roughly understand the meaning.
"Dear friends, your ship brought me here, do you allow me to visit the tower?" His voice was loud and could be heard far and wide.
After waiting for a long time, the tower did not respond.
"How do I enter it? Can you give me a response?" After looking at it for a long time, all the doors were closed.
"Hey, is anyone there?"
"Is there anyone there? I am Jin Ming, the archer from the Flame Horn Clan!"
I touched the wall of the tower. It was cold. The material was a bit like cement, but it was definitely much tougher than cement. It was definitely not an ordinary material.
Zhang Ming didn't dare to use the ice spear to cause damage. If something unexpected happened, he wouldn't be able to live without it.
He stretched out his fingers again and tried to touch the "diamond-shaped gems" that were dotted with stars and emitted a dull luster.
Suddenly, a numb tingling sensation came from the tip of the diamond-shaped index finger, and Zhang Ming quickly retracted his finger.
Before he could think about it, a door opened not far away - there was a soft "squeak" and dark yellow light shined from the door.
"Huh? Could it be that the gem just now is the button of the electric door?"
Zhang Ming hesitated for a moment, took the ice spear, and jumped into the gate. What came to him was a deep and long stone passage. The ceiling was also inlaid with diamond-shaped gems, giving off a faint halo.
"It's really weird."
Naturally, Shimama didn't know what was going on here, so she could only repeat the sentence: "It's really weird."
There is something like a car next to the door, with bearings and tires installed, and something like a railroad track underneath, like a small train with only one carriage.
Zhang Ming didn't dare to touch anything here, but he took a few steps forward and found that the car was moving on its own track, as if it wanted to take him to his destination.
"I always feel like I'm in the territory of some old lich. This guy is hiding in the dark. He wants to cut open my heart and sacrifice it to the devil in the sky." Lao Zhang laughed a few words to himself and got into the car.
Soon, a car driven by an unknown power drove him speeding along the narrow stone road.
