Chapter 797 Black Thorn Tower

The Baijing Galaxy is in the shape of a discrete disk, and the Zhouchitong constellation is located in the center of the Baijing Galaxy.

The Zhouchitong star system is a third-level source star system, and it is not allowed to enter or exit at will.

However, there is a second-level source star system called the 'Baxiang star system', only 14 light years away from the Zhouchitong star system.

The Baxiang star system has become the trade center of the Baijing Galaxy and a distribution center for bulk goods transactions.

For example, the mining stars operated by the fourth, fifth, and sixth-level large chambers of commerce produce mostly tons of force materials, which they will send directly here and sell at a good price.

For example, many large chambers of commerce will also make force food at the level of the Sujing realm into gene agents and send them here for trading or exchange to enrich the gene agent categories of their own shops.

The Baxiang star system is also a wholesale place for human civilization technology creations.

Only the seventh and eighth levels, as well as the few fifth and sixth-level Flame Spider Chambers of Commerce, can apply for qualifications and obtain the qualifications to directly contact and trade with human civilization.

Some small gadgets produced by human civilization are sold in bulk here, and some large items are also accepted for pre-order.

Other small Flame Spider Chambers of Commerce can come here for wholesale purchases or pre-orders.

Many transactions can be done by Baiwei Chamber of Commerce, but Xianglan Chamber of Commerce cannot.

For example, ecological base stations, life bases, and reverse-ecological base stations for transforming planets.

Baiwei Chamber of Commerce can come here to find large chambers of commerce for wholesale, and also supports customization, with the "Baiwei Grass" brand, and can be claimed to be produced by Baiwei Chamber of Commerce when it is taken out.

For example, knowledge compasses, notebooks, short-range pagers, and small accessories for star spiders and starship repairs, etc., all kinds of small items.

In addition,

There are many fun amusement parks built by human science and technology in the Baqi star system.

The last time Longbai and Molan traveled far away, they passed by and played once. When returning, they were pulled by Molan and passed by on a detour and played again.

This is Longbai's third time entering the Baqi star system.

…

Starting from the Bauhinia star system, it only takes two stops to reach the destination.

Longbai took the short-distance star spider in the system and came to the square of the 9999 area in the south of Shanxiang Star, where he had an appointment with President Sishu.

The busiest source star system in the all-white crystal galaxy, no one else.

Insects come and go, insects are crowded, and there are mountains and seas of insects.

Longbai activated his soul-fixing ability and swept through it. The intelligent brain function operated synchronously and did not detect any trace of President Sishu's soul.

Open the Star Network account to check,

[Time: 78th Century-159 Yuan-791 Year]

The certification activity started from 159 Yuan 000 and lasted until 159 Yuan 900.

Lasted for 900 years.

The time agreed by Longbai and Sishu was 159 Yuan-800.

There were still 9 years left.

That was because Sishu had not arrived yet.

Longbai squeezed out of the square slowly and walked north slowly.

Entered the trade area and wandered aimlessly.

After wandering around, I was really bored, so I entered the North 2003 area again.

A square covered by a black hemispherical energy barrier.

A high wall made of black thorns formed around it.

From the outside, it looks like a place with a solemn atmosphere.

[Thorn Tower]

A place for entertainment and cultivation.

There is a technological device called "Cocoon Nest" inside. When Zerg warriors enter it, the device reads the star core and body information and converts it into data to build a virtual identity in the virtual universe.

When the consciousness enters the virtual universe, it can launch the ability to fight at will.

There are three ways to play: Black Thorn Tower Challenge; Random Match Battle; Friends Competition.

When Molan was together, Longbai didn't like to play this.

However, Molan was not here this time...

Longbai came to test his ability.

After evolving to the star realm, on the life planet, many attack-type abilities can no longer be easily tried. The power is too great and will cause irreversible damage.

There are no such concerns in the virtual universe.

…

Go forward along the wide straight road, and the end is a 100-meter high platform.

Four steps representing the fourth-level god-level civilization, 49 steps on each level.

Going up the steps, there is a long row of 49 entrances about 2 meters wide, separated by star pillars in the middle.

In front of each star pillar, there are also original spider warriors guarding.

Zerg warriors of all kinds come in and out.

Longbai queued up, approached the star pillar, opened the star network communication, and received the number plate...

"Huh?"

"Longbai Ant King!"

A familiar mental call suddenly came from the left exit channel.

Longbai tilted his head to look...

Bai Wei, Hongtao, Huangtao, and Yu Teng.

Can we meet this? !

Longbai quickly returned the number plate and quickly stepped forward to meet Bai Wei and his group.

"Longbai Ant King, are you here to participate in the special ability certification?"

"Of course."

"A bug?"

"A bug. The journey was relatively smooth. Every time I changed to the Star Spider, I happened to be on time and didn't have to wait much. So, I arrived 9 years earlier than the agreed time. I was bored and came here to test my ability. What about you?"

"We came here to investigate the market and see if there are any suitable products. We plan to purchase them and enrich the product categories of the Tree Flower Shop. There is also the benefit of the 'Gate of Truth' of Derris. We plan to try to apply for it and let Derris certify a special ability, but unfortunately, it does not meet the conditions. "

"Uh..."

One of the basic conditions for the so-called 'special ability' is that it must be able to be transformed into a tradable commodity and can be mass-produced.

Yuto's 'Gate of Truth' is powerful, but if it doesn't meet this basic condition, you can tell with your claws that it won't work.

Bai Wei probably wanted to use the 'Phytolacca Divine Pattern' for convenience, but obviously failed.

"That's such a shame."

Long Bai responded perfunctorily, changed the topic, and asked: "President Bai Wei, then why are you here?"

Bai Wei: "Hong Tao and I evolved to the planetary realm and came here to test our abilities. Huang Tao and Yu Teng traveled all the way and obtained some new abilities with particularly strong attack power through divine fruits. It is not convenient to try them in the real world, so come here test."

After Bai Wei finished speaking, her eyes widened, she activated the soul barrier to cover everyone, and then asked:

"Longbai Ant King, are you in the star realm?"

"The 7th stage of the Star Realm."

"Hiss~ How big is the Phytolacca space?"

"4800 meters in diameter."

"Where's the star navigation ability?"

"15 times the speed of light."

"oh--"

"Has the refining ability changed?"

"No."

"Are you sure it will be rated level 3?"

"This is not something I can decide. It depends on the ability of the Four Numbers Guild Leaders of the Holy Butterfly Tribe."

"Right."

"It's definitely no problem!"

Bai Wei removed the soul barrier, raised her paw and pointed at the registration entrance, and said, "We have nothing to do. King Longbai Ant, let's go, let us see your stellar realm strength..."

…

We lined up together, registered again and got our number plates.

Behind the entrance is an alleyway, leading to the square buildings one after another.

Inside the building are densely distributed ‘cocoon nests’, with thick circular metal hatches about 1.8 meters in diameter.

Find the corresponding cocoon nest, communicate consciously, and activate the star network capability certification.

A vertical crack opened in the middle of the hatch...

Multiple seals, the hatches are layered layer by layer, shrinking and opening to the left and right.

Behind it is a narrow oblate space.

After entering, follow the instructions, adjust to a comfortable posture, and enter a dormant state.

The hatch is closed.

Inject some sort of light green smoke.

Cocoon Nest begins to read information.

Soon, Long Bai's consciousness was awakened, and the star network ability was automatically turned on, with characters marked and four options: [Black Tower of Thorns], [Random Match Battle], [Friends Competition], and [Interstellar Roaming]

There is also a [Friend Search] option below.

Long Bai waited for a moment.

A row of information popped up on the screen: [23504 applied to add friends]

Long Bai agreed to the application.

The scene in front of him changed, and the surrounding area turned into a gorgeous hall decorated with various gemstones on the dome.

Bai Wei was standing in front of a star pillar, communicating and operating.

Soon, red peaches, yellow peaches, and fish vines appeared one after another.

"Long Bai Ant King, let's try fighting first?"

"Battle? I'll beat four of you one by one."

"Okay! Then it's four against one. Hearts, yellow peaches, and fish vines, get ready for battle!"

Bai Wei continued the operation and said confidently: "Don't give in to anyone, otherwise it will be boring. How about we add a little more bet, 1 million raw crystals?"

"good--"

Long Bai also wanted to try his own fighting ability in the stellar realm, but reluctantly agreed.

"That's good!"

"Then let's get started!"

Bai Wei was in high spirits and continued the operation.

The surrounding scene changed again, and the vast forest sea with white clouds appeared.

Three thousand meters away, Bai Wei, Hong Tao, and Huang Tao quickly shuttled through space and disappeared.

There was only one fish left standing there, turning around and looking around...

Yu Teng discovered traces of Long Bai...

"Longbai Ant King, shall we wait a moment?"

"..."

Long Bai hesitated for 0.1 seconds, raised his paw and pointed a finger, and a silver-white electric light shot out.

The touch of blue thunder.

At close range, Yuto had no time to react and was knocked to the ground without any vital signs.

"Get one for free? That's three against one."

Long Bai murmured in his heart.

I scanned with my soul-fixing ability and couldn't find any trace of Bai Wei, Hong Tao, and Huang Tao. I must have used my soul-based ability to isolate them from perception and lurk.

suddenly,

Violent energy fluctuations came from behind.

Almost at the same time, a strong sense of danger came from the left and right sides.

Bai Wei, Hong Tao, and Huang Tao tacitly divided into three groups and launched attacks from three directions at the same time.

From behind, a pillar of blue and purple thunder fire struck at the speed of light.

On the left and right sides, dense wind blades containing strands of metal with sharp characteristics blocked all movement paths.

On Long Bai's body, strength, earth, stone, and wood elements exploded one after another.

boom! boom! boom!

Three loud explosions shook the earth.

With Long Bai as the center, the pure energy of the power system burst out to form a powerful impact, enveloping the earth, rocks and trees, and violently impacted in all directions.

There are no other fancy changes, just brutal and brutal crushing force.

The lightning beams and wind blades that came from three sides were all washed away.

The surrounding jungle with a radius of four to five kilometers was cut off every layer, forming a deep pit of forty to fifty meters.

When the smoke cleared, Long Bai's figure disappeared from the bottom of the pit.

Bai Wei, Hong Tao, and Huang Tao were also missing.

The "dead in battle" Yuteng is in the state of virtual "dead soul", floating comfortably in the sky to watch the battle.

I can no longer participate in the battle, nor can I communicate with everyone. However, my reconnaissance ability can still be used, and my mental power and soul-fixing ability can be scanned at the same time.

All gone.

Floating high in the sky, activating sunburn and brain power retrieval...

…

There is a limitation when scanning and reading information in the ‘Cocoon Nest’: that is, it is impossible to bring ‘artifacts’ into the virtual universe.

Longbai indirectly merged the technology star core through the ‘Ferocious Beast Origin’, so the technology star core was judged as an ‘artifact’.

In the virtual universe, Longbai cannot use the space system ability granted by the space star core.

Baiwei, Hongtao, and Huangtao are not restricted.

They all dissolve the technology star core, merge it with their own star core, and become part of their own star core, which can be brought into the virtual universe.

The ability of ‘space teleportation’ granted by the technology star core is quite difficult.

…

In the virtual universe, the entire planet is a battlefield.

After missing a single shot, Baiwei, Hongtao, and Huangtao immediately fled far away and disappeared, crossing space and meeting at the north pole of the planet.

“Yu Teng, that idiot! Let it lure the enemy, not let it die~”

“It was gone in an instant, and it didn’t help us gain a second.”

Baiwei was depressed.

"Maybe it was unexpected that the Dragon Cypress Ant King was not polite at all. He didn't say a word and just raised his claws to kill it."

Huang Tao helped to explain.

"Resist! Get out of the way!"

Bai Wei was angry.

"..."

Huang Tao was also speechless.

Bai Wei looked at Hong Tao and said, "Now the Dragon Cypress Ant King has also lurked. What should we do?"

Hong Tao: "President Bai Wei, you are too careless. We can't win at all. We wasted 1 million."

"Can't win?"

Bai Wei: "Why can't we win? We have space teleportation and can come and go freely. The lowest is a draw."

Hong Tao: "..."

Hong Tao said helplessly: "The realm gap is too big. We can't hit or move with a frontal attack. We can only use the ability with the smallest energy fluctuation, the fastest claw speed, and the most deadly attack. , close-range assassination. Also, the adaptive evolution has made it immune to most abilities such as wind, fire, thunder and soul. Everyone, please pay attention and do not use them. "

"The Longbai Ant King's attention must be all on me or Baiwei. Relatively speaking, it is easier to ignore Huangtao's existence."

"Baiwei will attract the attention first. Huangtao and I will attack close-range. I will still feint and launch the first attack. Huangtao will attack later. The metal pierces and attacks the brain, and strives to kill with one blow. "

"Good idea!"

"Action! Action!"

Baiwei did not think much and hurriedly called for departure.

...

Longbai knew very well that

Baiwei, Hongtao and Huangtao had no ability to compete with him head-on.

The only thing they rely on is space teleportation.

The only way to defeat him is to attack by surprise.

The long-distance siege has been tried and confirmed to be unsuccessful.

Then there is only one option left, a close-range surprise attack.

Think about this clearly and be a little prepared. It will be difficult to lose.

Longbai is here to test his ability, not to win money, but he can use them to test his reconnaissance ability.

Stealth all the way, the shell changes color, hides at the riverside, and the iridescent water droplets fly out, turning into a ball of flowing water, merging with the river.

Three reconnaissance abilities are activated at the same time.

Source of the vortex: countless vortex worms with a length of only 1 cm are generated, either downstream or upstream, spreading along the water veins.

Underfoot is a naturally evolved planet with oceans. All water veins are connected. Turtle worms can follow the water veins to reach all rivers and lakes on the planet.

Eye of the sky: countless invisible and transparent eagles rise silently.

Cuscuta: dense invisible silk threads spread from the water to connect the riverside plants, and then spread along the roots of the jungle plants.

…

Longbai used soul-based divine power food worth 1.2 billion original crystals in the planetary realm.

Under the effect of the super soul ability, at the age of 7 in the star realm, the soul strength reached the peak of the star realm, and there was a faint sign of breaking through the star realm and entering the level of the stagnation realm.

The range of mental power perception exceeds 50 kilometers.

The range of the soul-fixing ability is more than 10,000 kilometers, covering half of the planet.

Combined with the abilities of the soul of art and the soul of the sea,

the three abilities of tactile, visual, and soul breath perception can cover the entire northern hemisphere.

The ability deployment has not yet been completed.

Dodder and the Eye of the Sky have successively detected the traces of Bai Wei and her party.

They are also in a state of affairs, one in front and two behind, forming a battle formation, carefully teleporting in space, trying to search and track themselves.

When the eagle bird vision paid attention to them, the leading Bai Wei also noticed it keenly, and took the red peach and the yellow peach and quickly crossed the space away.

"..."

"In the battle, the visual reconnaissance of the Eye of the Sky was a little useless. Everyone is a cosmic life, and the opponent will immediately perceive it when the vision is locked."

"However, if it were in the real universe, the artist would kill one by one, and the three of them would be gone at this time."

Long Bai thought silently in his heart.

While thinking and deducing,

the ‘turbellarians’ arranged in the river sensed the traces of Bai Wei and his party, and disappeared in an instant.

It was obvious that they also noticed the abnormality in the water.

“…”

“Bai Wei is very alert.”

“But they don’t seem to notice the ‘dodder’ scattered all over the jungle underground.”

Longbai continued to pay attention to Bai Wei’s movements.

At this time, they realized that the entire northern hemisphere was covered by reconnaissance capabilities.

The most feared thing in a battle is that your every move is understood by the enemy, but you don’t know where the enemy is.

Bai Wei simply stopped.

Huang Tao and Hong Tao activated their earth and stone abilities, built hemispherical fortifications, set up a battle formation, and waited for Long Bai to attack...

Long Bai withdrew his consciousness and stopped paying attention.

Thoughts turn,

With a crash, the river changed its course, roaring and rushing towards the jungle. Wherever the flood passed, mountains collapsed and the ground cracked.

The surging flood suddenly stopped, and in the breath, the water penetrated into the ground.

The earth bulges, and a thirty-kilometer-long rock python rises from the ground, winding like a mountain range.

Pan Guan gathered his strength and leaped into the air, causing the thousand-meter mountain peak to collapse.

It crashed to the ground with a rumble, the earth trembled and cracked, and the mountains collapsed and fell.

The giant python raised its head, opened its mouth, and a pillar of magma and fire spurted out, turning the ground in front of it into a sea of ​​fire.

Spinning around, he continued to spit.

A radius of thirty kilometers turned into a magma ocean.

The giant python raised its head.

Long Bai stood on the top of the giant python, his tentacles swinging, and his dual element of Feng Shui exploded.

The clear sky suddenly became dark, and within a radius of fifty kilometers, the wind and clouds changed drastically, and the cold air dropped.

Hurricane, blizzard.

The snowflakes whirled like sharp knives, cutting the air and making a subtle whine, and were blown wildly by the roaring hurricane.

Magma lakes condensed, and the land turned into a vast snowfield.

Long Bai waved his tentacles again.

The power of fire and thunder bursts out.

There were thick clouds in the sky, roaring thunder, red lightning striking the earth, and the snowfield instantly turned into a sea of ​​thunder and fire.

The giant earth-rock python coiled around again, gathered strength, and leaped into the air.

Like shedding its skin, the earth and stone that make up the scales turned into fine sand and drifted away. A giant python formed from a stream of water mist, with thunder and lightning flowing out of it. It had eight wings on its back, fluttered its wings and flew across the forty or fifty kilometers in one breath. miles away, swooping down into the dense mountain forest.

Big carnivorous flower!

The giant python turned into wood and turned into a giant vine with a cage, and its branches spread rapidly.

In an instant,

The vegetation in the forest grows wildly, thorns and vines grow everywhere, and the ancient trees quickly rise up into the sky, sealing the sky and the earth.

The peaceful forest sea instantly turned into a murderous prison.

"Conventional life planets can no longer tolerate the force life in the star realm."

Long Bai muttered, communicating with the eagle bird of aerial reconnaissance.

The hemispheric defenses built by Bai Wei and the others are still there, and they mobilized the nearby planarian sensors to isolate them with a soul barrier, and they are still hiding inside.

"..."

Long Bai's heart moved, and the giant insect-eating flower suddenly transformed into a frost centipede.

Without the original support of the wood system, the jungle is in turmoil, and the wildly growing plants are wilting and dying.

The original energy of water element is activated,

On the back of the frost centipede, 30,000 icicles with a length of more than ten meters and a diameter of more than one meter rise vertically into the air.

Almost Forgotten Ability: Explosive Jet

Thirty thousand icicles passed through the clouds, sailed from the thin stratosphere, spanned a distance of four thousand kilometers, adjusted their tilt, locked vertically downward on the hemispheric defenses, and accelerated the impact at the end.

Under the overwhelming bombardment, the hemisphere defense fortifications were the center, with a radius of ten kilometers, and they were instantly submerged by flying ice chips.

Bai Wei and a group of three insects finally noticed the 'Cuscutus' distributed in the jungle, and immediately found a way to avoid it.

All three of Long Bai's reconnaissance abilities were disabled, and Bai Wei and the others were no longer traceable.

I'm thinking about changing my reconnaissance method.

Suddenly, there was a slight fluctuation in the force behind him, and a feeling of danger of death arose in his heart.

Bai Wei!

Deduced my location so quickly?

Just over a hundred meters away, blue, yellow, gold, blue, red, silver and transparent, eight elements of about half a meter in length, including seven elements and systems, suddenly shot out.

——Sneak attack?

Long Bai raised his claws and waved, and his strength and wind energy exploded slightly. The arrogant force swept through the concentrated airflow. With ease, the eight thorns shot shattered. The power remained undiminished and the speed was extremely fast.

At a short distance, Bai Wei was hit by the strong wind before she could leave across the space, and flew backwards with a heavy impact.

The wind and thunder energy on Long Bai's body shone brightly, and his body turned into a beam of thunder. The moment Bai Wei landed on the ground, he extended his claws again.

Touch of blue fire.

Two beams of pale lightning penetrated Bai Wei's forehead, piercing two holes from beginning to end...

besides!

Long Bai's figure was just stable.

A sharp claw protruded from the side and went straight to the forehead.

hearts,

Metal Mantis' close range assassination.

Long Bai had been on guard for a long time, with the original energy of water and fire flowing, blue and purple umbrella bird patterns instantly covered his body.

puff! laugh!

Before the sharp claws touched the carapace, the umbrella bird's ability triggered and detonated independently, and the ice and fire jets recoiled.

Hearts were knocked away.

Long Bai's figure turned into a shadow, clinging closely to him, his tentacles connected, and two blue ice picks forcefully piercing two holes in Hong Tao's head.

Three are missing.

Long Bai turned his head suddenly.

"..."

Huang Tao raised his grasping foot high and came across the space, just in time to meet Long Bai's eyes.

He was stiff and embarrassed for a second.

Huang Tao reluctantly retracted his claws and said, "I give up."

The battle is over.

The world scene changes.

Long Bai, Bai Wei, Hong Tao, Huang Tao, and Yu Teng returned to the empty hall.

"Hongtao, your tactics are useless."

"Yuteng, you loser, why did you disappear as soon as you went up?"

Bai Wei asked angrily.

Heart: "..."

Yuto: "..."

Yu Teng: "My idea is to use clever words to attract the attention of Longbai Ant King and create conditions for your sneak attack..."

"Okay. Okay. The planetary realm and the star realm, the huge gap between the realms and the disparity in power, there is no need to play with it."

Long Bai tried to smooth things over, activated his star network ability, and said happily: "One million, don't default on your debt."

"...Don't default on your debt!"

Bai Wei followed up by activating the star network ability to pay.

Long Bai said proudly: "Have you practiced fighting together? I'll tell the truth, your cooperation is not very good. If I get serious, I can kill you a hundred times a day. Do you still want to play? A million rounds. , the little money you earn will be lost in less than a year.”

"It's boring..."

Bai Wei turned around and connected to the star pillar to check.

There is no relatively fair friend battle mode that can narrow the gap between the planetary realm and the stellar realm.

"No more playing!"

"Longbai Ant King, do you still want to test your abilities?"

"Of course. I'll try it at Black Thorn Tower."

"oh--"

Bai Wei became interested again and asked, "Isn't this your first time here? What level have you reached?"

Long Bai asked back: "How many floors can you reach?"

Bai Wei said truthfully: "Huang Tao and I can reach the fourth level. Hearts are on the fifth level. Yu Teng is worse and stopped at the second level."

"oh--"

Long Bai said: "It seems like Mo Lan is quite powerful. Mo Lan can reach the ninth level."

"The ninth floor?"

Bai Wei, Hong Tao, and Huang Tao were shocked and inexplicable.

The Black Thorn Tower challenge matches combat targets with the same evolutionary level and comparable star core strength.

These combat objects are to collect the ability information and combat skills of the numerous warriors of the Zerg civilization, and compile them to form intelligent combat programs.

The two sides competed purely based on their abilities in a limited space.

What matters is fighting will, consciousness, technical skills and adaptability.

In the Black Thorn Tower, the first to third floors are matched with qualified battle targets; the fourth to sixth floors are matched with elite level battle targets; and from the seventh floor upwards, the battle targets that have been optimized and processed by the brain program are matched. Gradually "metamorphosis", the comprehensive combat power exceeds the scope of normal Zerg warriors.

"Isn't Mo Lan too strong?"

Bai Wei was amazed and asked: "Longbai Ant King, what about you?"

Long Bai said displeasedly: "Molan can reach the ninth floor, and as its leader..."

Bai Wei said in disbelief: "Tenth floor?"

"How can it be!"

Long Bai shook his tentacles vigorously and said: "The tenth level is a fixed 18 named warriors. They are the 18 demigods who are dedicated to fighting in the old universe era, the Zerg civilization. The challenge is limited, and the evolutionary level is above the realm. That’s it. You can choose who you want to challenge, and if you defeat one, you will get a small reward of 100 million raw crystals.”

"oh--"

"Is there still such a thing?"

"It's not written on it! Is this a hidden message?"

"Then you have penetrated the ninth floor?"

Bai Wei also had a character that refused to admit defeat, with blazing flames igniting in her heart and high fighting spirit, she greeted: "Heart peach, yellow peach, fish vine, let's continue to challenge the black thorn tower! We won't leave until we break through the nine floors!" ( End of this chapter)
