Chapter 1013 Weird State
The Spirit World Clock Tower is a huge and majestic building - even though its shape is full of twisted and weird incongruous features, it still has an impressive scale. Just thinking about the whole picture of the building when he saw it outside the tower, Hao Ren could tell that the rotunda that everyone was currently in was far from the entire first floor of the clock tower, but only a small part of this floor. piece of place. He stood in the center of this rotunda with faded colors and a strange atmosphere. He looked up at the high vault. What he saw was a dazzling structure with a large number of stents and capillary-like stents and capillaries. Beams and columns were intertwined overhead. Some seemed to be the original roof structure of the hall, but some looked like skeletons that had been rigidly merged from other buildings. Behind the criss-crossing beams, columns and brackets was a dull circular vault. The vault was so high that it could almost be described as far away. Hao Ren squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and saw that there was something faintly visible on the vault. Exquisite patterns and patterns, some of which seem to depict some giant creature with numerous tentacles that covers the entire planet.
It was the scene of the firstborn sowing seeds.
There is no doubt that this twisted and weird tower is indeed the creation of the Goddess of Creation, and Hao Ren believes that the tower was not originally as scary as this. Something must have happened after the goddess's fall to make it so. It's twisted here.
Lily wandered around the hall with her claws of ice and fire. She hunched over and sniffed the ancient murals and the witcher items on the wooden shelves from time to time. Although the weird atmosphere here made her look nervous, This husky girl still performs her duties very seriously. She stopped next to a shelf filled with magical instruments, her tail wagging unconsciously: "Someone touched these things not long ago... They have a very fresh smell."
Hao Ren looked away from the ceiling: "How long ago was it?"
"At most one day ago," Lily ran back briskly, "landlord, landlord, do you still have the spicy strips?"
Hao Ren was just about to tell her that she would not forget to eat under any circumstances, but when he saw Lily's eyes, he suddenly reacted: "Are you planning to transform in here?!"
"Be prepared," Lily sharpened her claws. "If I were to face those saints, I don't think I would be able to do it without transforming..."
Hao Ren took out a pack of spicy sticks from his pocket and threw it over, while Bai Huo walked over. After hearing Lily's words, the demon hunter girl said lightly: "If you really face the saint, you will be transformed." They should not be able to defeat them. The elders are already as powerful as the ancient gods, and the saints have countless more taboo knowledge and experiences than the elders..."
Before Bai Huo could finish speaking, Vivian curled her lips and interrupted her: "There are also the lumbar disc herniations and old cold legs that have been raised for thousands of years - those old guys haven't fought for thousands of years. , just bored in this damn black tower, to be honest, I doubt how much fighting power they have left. I believe they are smart, but I don’t believe they have good bodies.”
Lily glanced at Vivian: "Don't forget that you and them are from the same era..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense now," Hao Ren interrupted them and looked up at Bai Huo, "What's the chance that the saint will take action himself?"
"Under normal circumstances in the past, it would have been almost impossible for them to take action - their bodies have been destroyed by forbidden knowledge. Every time they take action, it is not only a huge threat to the outside world, but also a great pain to themselves. But now... It’s hard to say. The people we brought this time are just outposts. The plan is to deal with the regular guards in the tower, and then attack the upper area after the large troops come in, but this place..."
"But this place looks like a haunted house now," Hao Ren looked at the empty rotunda and the master demon hunters who were spreading out to search for clues. "There is not a single guard in sight. To be honest, this kind of 'safety' The state makes people feel even more uneasy.”
Tutanin and the master demon hunters were no strangers to the structure of the spiritual clock tower, so they quickly completed the search on the first floor of the tower. The scattered demon hunters reunited, and no one found any enemies.
"There is no one on the first floor, and there is some vague aura above the second floor, but there is no reaction to our arrival," a witcher with a rough voice reported, "There is a set in the tower gatekeeper's room that has just been maintained. A hunting crossbow appeared to be preparing for a battle, but somehow the owner of the weapon disappeared."
Tutanin touched his chin and thought for a moment, then decided to leave a few people to wait for the large army in the rotunda, while the others continued to move towards the upper level of the spiritual world clock tower.
The interior of the Spirit World Clock Tower is as grand as a palace. There are three different stairs to reach from the rotunda on the first floor to the second floor. After some thought, Tutanin chose a relatively safe one: this one spirals along the outside of the rotunda. The stairs leading up lead to the depths of the wine cellar on the second floor. It is said that the defense there is relatively weak.
As for why the "wine cellar" is located on the second floor...there is no need to study this.
Hao Ren stepped onto this faded and gloomy staircase. The ancient and incomplete murals and reliefs gradually receded beside him. He felt as if he was walking in the belly of a dying pale monster, and everything around him was haunted by the thought of dying. A strange coldness blew down from the exit of the stairs in front of him. This coldness seemed to penetrate directly into his soul, making him and the white fire around him couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"You feel it too?" Hao Ren looked at Bai Huo, "There seems to be wind."
"It's the wind of the spiritual world," Bai Huo said with a solemn expression, "There are some places inside the spiritual world clock tower that are connected to weird 'places'. One part of this tower is in Corpus, and the other part is located in some twisted and overlapping places. In the contradictory time and space, this kind of strange wind often blows out of thin air. No matter how powerful you are, you will feel an unbearable chill in this wind. The instructor said that these winds are the 'winds of the spiritual world' and are Cole The original owners of Perth space were wailing when they were imprisoned in the past timeline. Whenever this wind blows... the condition of the clock tower begins to become unstable."
As she spoke, she suddenly mentioned Hasselblad, who had long been captured by the Presbyterian Order and had lost all hope of survival. "The mentor may still be imprisoned in this tower..."
"Is he still alive?"
"I... don't believe that he will die like this, in this ridiculous internal strife," Bai Huo bit his lip, "The mentor has experienced many hardships in his life, and he has survived the most cruel Ragnarok. How could he To die in a place like this.”
At this time, Lily, who was walking behind Hao Ren, suddenly twitched her ears: "Hey, did you hear anything?"
"Sound?" Hao Ren stopped suspiciously, "What?"
Lily closed her eyes, and her pointed canine ears trembled gently in the air, constantly turning in various directions sensitively. Some subtle bass sounds that perhaps only dogs could hear came intermittently into her ears, and the sound was buzzing. The sound sounds like many people talking in their sleep, or like a secret sacrificial ritual, or some kind of evil creature whispering in the cracks of the shadows, tempting the ignorant to pursue those taboo and untouchable mysteries. Lily's golden eyes shone slightly in the darkness: "It sounds like many people are talking..."
Bai Huo immediately clenched his dagger and concentrated more on hiding the auras of everyone: "Is he a guard of the Presbyterian Order?"
"It's not like..." Lily's voice was a little dazed, "It was buzzing, and it kept saying something... It made me feel a little dizzy."
Then she suddenly shook her head, grabbed a spicy stick from the snack bag at hand, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it hard. She suddenly regained her energy: "It's okay, maybe it's infrasound. I can hear it with my ears." There are many sounds that ordinary people cannot hear~"
"There is still no one in front." Tutain narrowed his eyes slightly and sensed the breath at the end of the stairs. The breath he could feel was still far away. "It may be the influence of the wind in the spiritual world. This tower There are a lot of weird phenomena here, it’s your first time here, so be vigilant, but don’t be too suspicious.”
A few minutes later, everyone arrived at the end of the spiral staircase. Tutanin disappeared at the exit of the staircase first, followed closely by Hao Ren.
As expected, the exit was located deep in a "wine cellar" as Tutain said. As soon as Hao Ren came out, he could smell an intoxicating aroma of wine floating around, and there were neatly arranged huge wine barrels all around. He couldn't help but sigh: "Your life is quite prosperous, and demon hunters also have many hobbies... Um, what's wrong?"
He found that Tutanin did not pay attention to him. The master demon hunter just stood in front of him blankly, looking up at the building structure above.
After a long time, Tutanin broke the silence: "...the structure has changed...the structure of the spiritual world clock tower has changed!"
(Happy New Year everyone~~)
