Chapter 328 The Dark Tower
Wang Zhifan did not adopt Jack's suggestion. After thinking about it, he decided to visit the most famous and dangerous places first, even though Jack had told him that those existences were already regarded as his by some big shots. of private property.
So after some preparations, Wang Zhifan summoned the red deer horse and embarked on the road alone, while Jack stayed in the original town and continued to find ways to collect information about the devil. This kind of thing can be said to be a Warrior Jack was the safest and most relaxing mission he had ever done.
At this moment, Wang Zhifan was riding on a red deer horse, following it soaring in the sky. He was still holding the parchment map recommended to him by Jack, looking at it from time to time, and rushing to his first destination with extremely high efficiency. A destination, a dark tower.
Because the entire journey was at high altitude, Wang Zhifan did not encounter any obstacles. Some of the monsters hunting in the air were far from posing a threat to him. They were all killed by him at will until he found what was ahead. Suddenly, a towering black tower suddenly appeared on the ground, which slowed down the speed.
"According to the legends collected by Jack, the devil may be hiding in this tower, probably living at the top of the tower."
Recalling the information he knew in his heart, Wang Zhifan drove the red deer horse to fly upwards. Approaching the top of the tower in front of us.
This huge tower does have a roof. It is located a few hundred meters above the clouds. It is an unremarkable black spire. However, as Wang Zhifan gradually approached it, he sensed some dangerous feedback, and it seemed that he would force himself to get closer. Something very bad is going to happen.
"Sure enough, as in the legend, you must enter from the entrance of the high tower on the ground. If you try to fly into the sky to get into the tower, you will only harm yourself."
Wang Zhifan gave up this approach after trying it for a while. Although he was confident that he could withstand the dangers posed by the tower and could use some skills to try to force his way in, he was concerned about the subsequent reactions caused by provoking the tower and decided to follow the opponent's settings.
"Then the problem that needs to be solved now is the people guarding the tower below. It is much easier for me to solve some people, but it doesn't have to be done forcefully."
While thinking, Wang Zhifan asked Chilu The horse turned around and landed near the tower, and he headed towards the entrance of the tower alone.
As a world-famous adventure place, the pitch-black tower is not accessible to just anyone. Some powerful natives don’t want others to come here to get a share of the pie, so starting decades ago They arranged for manpower to watch the entrance of the tower all year round, and only those with permission from the backstage forces were allowed to enter. I heard that although this approach was selfish, it significantly reduced the mortality rate of adventurers in this area.
Wang Zhifan didn’t wear any disguise on this trip. He wore his full set of equipment and walked forward slowly with an unsheathed sword. Before he reached the entrance, he found that it was a bit lively. There were actually two parties there. Confrontation at the bottom of the tower.
One of them looks like a team of tall and powerful steel knights, wearing uniform color uniforms, with some archers and mages, firmly guarding the brass door of the dark tower.
The other pair looked a lot more miscellaneous. They were probably a mercenary group of about twenty people. Their personnel and equipment were not outstanding, but they were very impressive in the face of the soldiers who blocked them.
"Hurry and let us in! The dark tower is the masterpiece of the gods! You are not qualified to occupy it!"
A mercenary who looked like a tall and thick warrior faced the steel armored cavalry in front. shouted.
"No! We will not let anyone in without the Duke's warrant! If you get close, we will attack! If there are casualties, don't blame us for not warning us!"
One of the guarding cavalry also shouted.
"How despicable! The dark tower should swallow you all up!"
"You are all noble dogs! You guard a treasure like the tower but don't dare to enter!"
… …
The mercenaries were still cursing, but they sounded fierce, but no one took a step closer. It was obvious that they knew their own weight and did not want to be treated as a typical example by the guards in front.
Wang Zhifan walked step by step behind the mercenaries. With his good height, he looked past them towards the gate of the tower. He found that the thick brass gate was actually ajar, as if he was welcoming visitors to come in and explore. , but the noble garrison in front of the door blocked the visitors' hopes.
"Who are you? Do you also want to enter the dark tower?"
A mercenary standing further back first noticed the approaching Wang Zhifan. She was a young black-haired woman wearing a He wore a close-fitting brown leather armor and leather boots, held a short bow in his hand, and a dagger on his waist. The raised black eyebrows on his face showed a bit of vigilance.
"Yes, let me negotiate with those people."
Wang Zhifan looked past the other party indifferently and responded calmly.
His voice was not loud, but it instantly aroused the interest of more people nearby. The mercenaries around him turned around and saw that he was tall and powerful, and the equipment on his body did not look ordinary. His appearance all agreed that he passed through his own team and reached the edge closest to the guard in front.
However, what surprised these people was that Wang Zhifan did not open his mouth to negotiate after he reached the front. Instead, he continued to move forward as if he did not see the guard in front, making the armored knight in front feel offended.
"Stop! No one is allowed to enter without a Duke's warrant!"
The leading cavalry shouted a warning upon seeing this, and at the same time waved his hand to the surrounding archers to prepare for shooting.
Wang Zhifan's reaction was to let go of the powerful aura on his body with all his strength, and let a kind of physical pressure be attached to the people in front of him, making them suddenly feel that their bodies became heavy and their breathing became heavier. It feels a little rushed, like an elderly person who is seriously unwell after exercising.
"This person... is so strong..."
Under this sudden pressure, the leading guard suddenly realized that the situation was not simple. The strength of the visitors this time was not comparable to ordinary people. If they forcibly stopped them, they might pay a heavy price.
As Wang Zhifan got closer step by step, he felt the pressure on his body getting bigger and bigger, and the idea of shouting an attack became more and more hesitant. Finally, when Wang Zhifan had already walked up to him, he reasoned He chose to control the war horse under his crotch to turn around and avoid it, while other members around him also made similar actions. They also did not dare to confront this strongman with mysterious origins.
"They gave way! Let's rush!"
The mercenaries in the rear were not targeted by Wang Zhifan during this process, so they did not feel too much pressure on them , so as soon as they saw Wang Zhifan in front of him successfully reaching the door of the tower, they became excited and rushed towards the door, hoping to use Wang Zhifan's help to clear the way.
When the steel armored guards saw this, they wanted to attack and stop these people. After all, they were afraid of Wang Zhifan, who had a terrifying aura, not these ordinary mercenaries, but the leader on the horse raised his hand to stop them. .
"Let them go in. Anyway, with their strength, there is no hope of coming out again. It also saves our strength."
The person explained this, appearing to be very dissatisfied with the influx of mercenaries. Be optimistic.
This is because the danger of the dark tower is not over. The reason why it is extremely famous in this world is that it has swallowed up the lives of countless adventurers. "But what about that person... He has already gone in, and maybe he still has the ability to come out again."
Someone asked after Wang Zhifan passed through the ajar brass door, thinking that The strength shown by the other party just now is extraordinary and may cause damage to the Duke's property.
"It's better if he comes out."
Unexpectedly, the leading knight glanced at the entrance of the tower where the mercenaries were pouring in, and answered in a lower voice.
"Go to the Duke's castle and report that there may be strong men who will bring treasures out of the tower. Your Excellency will naturally make arrangements."
He went on to say that this was actually the fight. kind of idea.
“As you command.”
The ordinary knight understood immediately upon hearing this. He knew that his leader's decision to let that person in just now was not entirely due to the other party's terrible pressure, but also to gain credit by using the other party's hand, treating the other person as a high-level tool man.
This involves the fundamental purpose of the Duke sending them to guard the tower, which is to guard the treasures that are most likely to exist in the tower and prevent unknown adventurers from taking them away, but leaving only the treasures. Being in the tower is just a bad idea. The best way is to put Take them out and put them in your own warehouse. Then it is a very good plan to squat some people who can get out of the tower and wait to seize their harvest. If it is not considered that too many adventurers have entered, I am afraid that fish will slip through the net, and they don't want to No ordinary adventurers are allowed to enter.
"By the way, the adventure team sent in by the Duke last month has not come out yet. Let them in and explore the situation."
The leading knight then gave himself Their behavior found a reason, which made other guards around them think that their decision was wise, thus ignoring the grievances they had suffered before.
While the guards outside the tower were unified in their thoughts, Wang Zhifan was the first to enter the interior of the dark tower.
Like some of the information Jack shared with him, he discovered that there is a mystery in this tower. It is not a simple mysterious creation, but is connected to the existence of many laws and powers. The most obvious one is the law of space. Every layer here They are all equivalent to a separate small world, and some floors even have sunny days and nights.
At this time, he had walked through a stone corridor that was at least thirty meters long, and saw a pool of water in front of him, and there were no ordinary mercenaries behind him who should have come in. Aura, it is estimated that the first level they entered was completely different from his.
"The opponent on the first floor is a monster in the water? It's convenient for me."
With extremely powerful perception, Wang Zhifan knew that the second layer was hidden in the pool in front of him without looking carefully. One opponent, this mode is very common in the dark tower. Only by defeating the opponent assigned to you can you go to the second floor and get rewards, just like a very simple copy.
“The source of ice.”
He immediately activated the icy power that he had mastered more and more skillfully, and killed a certain fish monster hidden at the bottom of the pool on the spot.
Then he saw the pool slowly disappear before his eyes, replaced by a wooden spiral staircase extending upward.
"Where's my reward? Did you swallow it on the first floor?"
His face immediately showed a somewhat unexpected expression, because he was expecting to kill a monster and then pop up. There is a drop list, but the actual situation now is that not only the drop list is not seen, but also the item rewards that are highly likely to be included in the information are not found.
“It seems that the mechanism of this dark tower is different from the copy, but it just looks a bit similar.”
Wang Zhifan didn't think that his invincible special ability had failed at this stage. After thinking about it for a moment, he thought that he had too good ideas before coming in. There was no mechanism in this dungeon that had rewards for killing monsters. The dark tower could produce treasures. It's not all obtained by killing monsters, there are other ways.
Without much hesitation, he stepped onto the wooden spiral staircase that had appeared in front of him, and reached the second floor of the tower without any accidents.
What appeared in front of him on this floor was a relatively wide high platform. On the high platform, there were three figures of different heights waiting for him.
The tallest among them is a man with pointed ears. He is holding a long bow, and there is a gentle air flow on the long bow.
The second tallest one is a guy with a green face and fangs. It has a monster-like head and a strong humanoid body. It has very sharp nails on its hands and feet. It looks very savage and ferocious.
The shortest one is a very large frog, about the same size as an ordinary human being. He is squatting on a high platform and staring at Wang Zhifan below with two big round eyes.
"Are we going to fight in the ring? Three against one?"
Judged the current situation at a glance, Wang Zhifan felt some interest in his heart. He could have killed these three in an instant under the high platform. But he suddenly wanted to go up and warm up, as if he was playing games for fun.
So he quickly pulled out the Wolf-Destroying Blade from its scabbard and jumped onto the high platform with a tap of his feet.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The first thing to greet him was the arrows fired by a tall man with pointed ears at a very fast speed. There were two arrows in total, which accurately blocked his foothold and the left side of his body. It was obvious that he wanted to force him to the right. retreat.
But Wang Zhifan did not fall into the rhythm designed by the enemy. He quickly picked up the long knife twice and shot down the arrows shot at himself and his left side. He did not care about catching the arrows on his left side. The arrows are a waste.
"It's very easy... I feel like I'm probably capable of cutting bullets with a knife."
After responding like a show of skill, he suddenly took out the knife and slashed to his right side, where, A slender tongue had struck like lightning and was blocked by the tip of his Wolf-Destroying Blade.
“Quack!”
"Roar!"
When the sneak attack failed, the frog-like being suddenly let out an unpleasant cry, and then the green-faced and fanged being let out an ear-splitting roar and rushed towards Wang Zhifan on both hands and feet. The momentum was quite terrifying.
When Wang Zhifan saw this, his body split into three and turned into three identical figures. Each figure rushed towards one of the targets with the Wolf Slayer Blade, and they were penetrated by subsequent arrows. Physical movements are not affected at all.
