Chapter 1000 Corpus
Under the leadership of Bai Huo, Hao Ren and his party walked towards the "tower" of stars. The entrance to the huge crypt was surrounded by a circle of black rocks floating in the air. On each rock stood a stern-looking demon hunter. When passing by these pumice stones, Bai Huo introduced in a low voice: " They are the Nightsworn of the Tower of Stars and the Nightsworn of the Midnight Oath. The duty of these sentries is to always guard the entrance to the tower. If our fortress really falls one day, they will activate the magic stones under their feet and destroy the entire tower. The tower exploded into the twisted space, vowing not to let outsiders break into the holy land of Corpus. But things are unpredictable... Who could have thought that one day the threat would come from within Corpus, and now they are also ready to blow up this place at any time. The gate on the side is to prevent the Presbyterian Order in the Holy Land from coming out."
Lily's ears twitched, and she was immediately in awe of the stern-looking sentries standing on the magic stone, with a tone of wonder: "They have to stand on these stones for the rest of their lives?! And they are not allowed to come down?! Oh my god ...What a strong will it takes..."
Bai Huo was immediately more surprised than Lily: "How could you not let me down! They are on the third shift..."
This time, even Hao Ren was stunned: "...Um, didn't you say you would always guard the entrance to the tower or something?"
Bai Huo frowned: "It means they can't transfer, because these magic stones are very precise, and in order to prevent accidents, the mental fluctuations of the magic stones and the Nightsworn are matched. It is difficult to train a qualified guard, so Transfers are not allowed. By the way, why do you always have such strange ideas?"
Hao Ren opened his mouth but couldn't say a word. After learning that Bai Huo had a father who overdosed on drugs, he also learned that these guards who seemed to be bitter and resentful actually had a shift system. In his mind, those " Things like "Sleepless Guard", "Oath Warrior", "Destiny and Responsibility" were destroyed and nothing was left. After holding it for a long time, he could only say one sentence: "Girl, you can't always act so unreasonably." …”
Bai Huo glanced at these people strangely, turned around and strode forward: "What I said is obviously common sense, but you don't know why you have so many strange impressions on demon hunters."
Hao Ren and Lily looked at each other and said in unison: "Watch less TV in the future!"
The group of people entered the huge shaft that seemed to lead to the ground and walked down the wide spiral staircase attached to the shaft wall. After stepping inside the shaft and no longer seeing a big pit on the surface, Hao Ren finally had the feeling of walking in a high tower, but instead of climbing, he was walking down. He noticed that the four walls of the shaft were still made of ice at the beginning, but as they continued downward, the surrounding ice turned into a dark black rock.
After walking for a while, he looked up and found that the entrance above was only as far away as a fingernail. In the field of vision when he looked up, the shaft shot straight into the sky like a hollow pipe, with spiraling stairs and The large number of crisscrossing beams makes one dizzy.
"Have we walked this far?" Nangong Wudi looked up and noticed something unusual, "I think we just walked less than ten minutes..."
"The space rules of the Star Tower are contrary to common sense. Don't trust your intuition and eyes," Bai Huo said next to him. "In addition, don't look back at the way you came. Sometimes the space behind you will suddenly distort. Visually, Mistakes can result in a slip and a fall.”
When Lily heard this, she immediately stuck out her tongue in fear, feeling that this shaft was really weird.
A group of people walked down the seemingly endless spiral staircase. At this moment, the surrounding building materials had completely changed from ice to dark stone and cold steel. Ancient carvings were carved on the walls with thousands of years of history. Obscure mystery relief. After continuing to move forward for a certain distance, the spiral staircase in front began to connect to a wide fan-shaped platform every other section. There was a window next to each fan-shaped platform, and it seemed that the outside could be seen.
Lily curiously ran to one of the narrow windows and took a look outside. She found that the window was covered with a slightly glowing translucent barrier, and beyond the barrier was deep, dark sea water.
"Are you in the Arctic Ocean...have you gone through the ice?" The pointed ears on the husky girl's head twitched slightly, "This tower doesn't lead all the way to the bottom of the sea, right?"
Bai Huo said nothing, but continued to move forward with a serious face. As she continued to approach the depths of the Star Tower, her mood became obviously tense. At this time, she was no longer in the mood to chat with everyone.
Lily, on the other hand, would happily lie down by the window and look at the scenery outside every time she reached a platform, as if she was looking forward to walking all the way to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. But when she passed a few more platforms, she suddenly exclaimed: "House... Landlord! There are stars outside!!"
Hao Ren was stunned when he heard this, and immediately ran to Lily and looked outside the tower. He was stunned:
Outside the tower, the stars are shining brightly.
Obviously a moment ago, they could only see the deep and dark sea water outside the window of the high tower, but after continuing downward for only a dozen meters, they had already entered the starry sky!
Hao Ren continued walking down with wonder. As he walked, a sense of dissonance came to his mind. He glanced at the steps under his feet and suddenly realized that he was already walking along the steps without knowing it. A spiraling staircase advanced.
The space reversed unknowingly, and gravity also changed its direction. It was in front of the window that could see the starry sky just now that everyone crossed the boundary between Corpus space and the real earth, as Bai Huo said before like that: the tower starts out pointing downwards, but after reaching a certain point, it turns upside down!
A vague roar came from the front. Hao Ren looked in the direction of the sound - it was originally the bottom of the tower, but now it was the top - and he saw a hazy starlight shining in the distance. Then, a fragmented building structure floated hundreds of meters away.
Everyone quickened their pace and rushed to the top of the Star Tower with surprise. They saw that the top of the tower was in a fragmented state as if something had exploded. Large sections of boulder walls and stairs were floating in the air as if they had lost gravity. Behind the roof of the tower that was broken into four pieces, they could see See a mysterious and brilliant galaxy shining brightly.
Lily couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw this scene: "This is damaged by a bomb!"
"No, that's how the Star Tower is originally," Bai Huo finally explained. "The tower is not broken, but the special space phenomenon of Corpus makes it seem to be torn apart. Follow us, let's go out from the front exit .”
Under the leadership of Bai Huo, Hao Ren and his party left this weird and inexplicable "tower" through the correct exit. As soon as they left the building, they stepped onto a huge rock platform, which was actually floating on the top of the tower!
Bai Huo took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "Welcome to Corpus."
No one responded to her, because everyone, including Yzaks, was deeply attracted by the weird and wonderful sight of this space.
Corpus is actually like the universe. In the boundless dark chaotic space, no stars or large tracts of land can be seen at all. Hao Ren looked far into the distance and saw countless broken ancient buildings and towers floating in nothingness. In the far distance, he could see a large number of stars shining, and all kinds of mysterious flashes of light dancing endlessly in the depths of this space. Like a rushing flame, like lightning among the stars. He looked back at the tower where everyone came from, and this time he finally confirmed that it was a tower: the tower of stars stood majestically in the void, the lower part was shrouded in a layer of lavender chaotic lightning, and in There are a series of rock platforms floating on the upper level of the tower, and the platform under everyone's feet is just one of them.
"Now you know why we insist on calling this building the 'Tower of Stars'," Bai Huo glanced at Nangong Sanba lightly, "This is named after its shape in Corpus."
The area around the Star Tower seems safe, but if you look far into the distance, you can see a large number of abnormal firelights shining among the architectural ruins in the distance. It is obvious that the battle in this space is still continuing, and it is falling. In a stalemate.
The arrival of everyone also attracted the guards around the Star Tower. A small group of demon hunters teleported to them silently like ghosts in the universe. One hunter called Bai Huo's name: "Master Bai Huo! You finally came back safely!"
Bai Huo walked quickly towards the guards: "I brought reinforcements, and the large force will arrive shortly. What's the situation now?"
"Master Tutanin has withdrawn from the front line, and we have lost two more energy nodes, the Presbyterian Order..."
The demon hunters began to exchange frontline battle reports nervously, but Hao Ren was stunned at some point. He stared closely at the broken palaces floating in the distance in the distance, and a sense of immediacy slowly came to his heart.
Beside him, Lily also straightened her neck and looked at the distant scene without saying a word. For a moment, this husky girl who was always carefree actually showed a thoughtful and serious look on her face.
