Heaven's Formula

At the same time as her words fell to the ground, a dazzling electric light shot out from the corner of the room, instantly illuminating the ancient stone hall!

Chapter 6 Eighty Names That Shouldn't Appear

The black-clothed killer didn't expect this to happen at all. When he noticed the streamer spell, he had no time to dodge it, and was blown away with sparks all over his body!

Since all his protective measures were prepared for close quarters, the effect of the spell was not compromised at all. By the time it landed, there was already a burnt smell in the hall.

Seeing this, the other person quickly activated his magic power, summoning a pair of palm-like palms to slap towards the dark place.

The palm seemed to be harder than steel, and with a loud bang, all the stone bricks on the ground were cracked, and even the wall had a striking gap.

It's hard to imagine that Taksis persisted until now under such a blow.

However, the Magic Fist series of spells have a common shortcoming.

As a branch of evocation, its casting distance is quite limited, and it requires the caster's full vision when attacking.This makes it great against melee targets, especially against Dragonborn in a power-to-strength match, but rather stiff against agile casters.

Before the enemy had time to check the effect of clapping his palms, his waist was pierced by a fiery flame.The shield on his body shone with dazzling light, but it still failed to block the blow—the transparent armor shattered layer by layer until it disappeared into nothingness, and he himself rolled several times on the ground due to the violent impact. The waist connecting the upper and lower body was bloody and bloody, as if it had become a ball of cotton wool without support.

The whole process took less than five breaths, and the situation had completely reversed.

Taksis struggled to stand up, first walked in front of the charred man in black, stretched out her hands and broke his neck, then came to the shattered evoker at his waist and concocted it according to the law. Sit down slowly against the wall.

"These mages have a lot of means. If you can't confirm their death with your own eyes, you can't say that you are sure of victory."

"You have experience, you have the final say." A figure walked out from the corner of the hall, "But then again, how do you know that I am in the Dragon Tower?"

The respondent was none other than Xia Fan.

Taxis laughed, "Your name... I saw it appear on the floor at the last moment."

"Name?" Xia Fan came to the girl and knelt down to check her injuries.

She was obviously seriously injured, black and purple skin could be seen on the damaged part of the back clothes, which should be the appearance of toxin invasion, and there were many scratches and cuts on her body, one arm was severely deformed, and her five fingers were swollen beyond measure. The normal closing is probably caused by the bone breaking when resisting the magic fist from the front.

He could imagine the severe pain caused by so many wounds without asking, but at this moment, there was no trace of pain in the other party's expression, but his eyes were full of peace and tranquility.

"Well, it's on the floor next to the bonfire." She nodded, "Actually, I don't know how to write your name, but I guess the weird font is probably an oriental script."

After listening to Taxis' narration, Xia Fan was a little surprised for a moment, "You take this as evidence? But there are many words in this world that you don't know... What if it's not me..."

"Of course, this point alone is obviously not enough to prove it, but it can be concluded by adding another point." She tilted her head, "Didn't you send that painted cat to tell me that you would look at me?"

"Cough..." Xia Fan turned his eyes away, "Okay, but the task of following you is all done by Gun Gun, I didn't follow you all the way."

"Even if you followed all the way and saw something, I don't have the strength to blame you." Taksis pretended to be weak, "Look, I don't even have the strength to stand up now."

Xia Fan had no choice but to reach out and pull her up from the ground.

"Thank you." Taksis let out a long breath, and then said in a serious tone, "We have to find a way to get out of here."

"Are you not continuing to climb the tower?"

"My trials are not important at all. The key is that the church may be in big trouble."

"You mean that mages have sneaked into the Dragon Tower?" Xia Fan glanced at the two corpses on the ground, "When I approached this tower, there was indeed no guard outside, as if they had deliberately relaxed their guard. "

"This isn't the most troublesome thing," Taksis shook her head, "I saw a name that shouldn't appear in the Dragon Tower at all."

It was that name that shocked her so much that she failed to notice the attack from behind immediately.

As for the word Xia Fan that appeared at the end, she was not so surprised.

"Who is it?" Xia Fan asked curiously.

"Maine Jelena." Taxis replied in a low voice, "At present, she is the red priest of Hera Church."

Xia Fan came to the bonfire and found the name according to the other party's prompts—at the same time, he also noticed that his name was indeed written in the common characters of the six continental countries instead of the Western Pole language, which meant that the internal operation of the Dragon Tower The mechanism is not only aimed at the Holy Wing Islands, it may involve a deeper field than the church imagined.

"Hasn't Mayne walked Denglong Road?"

"It's more than nothing. Jelena is a dragon descendant family inherited by blood, and she was once selected as the child of the Holy Spirit, and she was promoted steadily after entering the church center, until she climbed to the current high position." Taxis took a breath. Dao said, "For the promotion of priests, Hera Church has a set of clear regulations. Everyone's life experience and origin must be disclosed to believers to ensure the fairness of the selection. No impression."

Xia Fan suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

"I have received information that the ruling about you seems to have been proposed by Mayne..."

"What?" Taksis couldn't help being taken aback, "Isn't this the decision of the Canon Department?"

"That's right...you are locked in the confinement room, and you don't know what happened recently." Xia Fan gave a brief account of the recent situation in Hilla City, "Now the god's coming ceremony is being held outside. The sun god has descended on the capital of Hela, right?"

Although he doesn't really believe in the church's propaganda.

"The opening of the Dragon Pagoda and the Divine Arrival Ceremony are scheduled on the same day?" Taxis's tone gradually became anxious, "They did mention the Mystic Lock Technique of the Kingdom of God at the meeting that day, but Mayne is also one of the person in charge... No, We must rush back to the Holy See now!"

"The question is how to get out?" Xia Fan looked around, "I noticed it when I came in. Once I leave the entrance corridor, the stone door will disappear in an instant, and when I turn back, I can only see a dead end. And... this hall doesn't seem to be accessible. The way you climb."

Although the Denglong Pagoda is a magnificent ancient stone tower from the outside, the area where they can move is always concentrated in the bonfire hall, not to mention the endless patio and hanging ladder, even the ceiling is close at hand. It's as if you can reach out and touch it.

Chapter 681 After the Darkness

"I can only look for it." Taksis bit her lips and said, "You first use a wooden stick as a torch, and check from the surrounding walls to see if there are secret doors or traps."

"No problem." Xia Fan also knew that it was not too late, and no one knew whether the enemy would continue to send people into the Dragon Tower.

"Wait a minute, move those two men in black to my side first." The girl suddenly said again.

He was slightly startled, as if he had realized something, he walked up to Taxis and lifted her trousers.

I saw that her two calves were already turning black and blue.

"You...failed to control the toxin?"

Xia Fan stood up and approached Taxis, only then did he notice that black spots appeared on the other's neck, and his lips looked a little dark.

And half a quarter of an hour ago, she hadn't had such obvious symptoms.

"Do you think I asked you to pull me up... Did you do that on purpose?" She smiled wryly, "The circulation of magic power has affected the body's self-healing ability. Before, there was still a little bit of power to control the spread of toxins. Now this little magic power There's not much left. But don't worry, as long as I leave Denglong Pagoda and untie this demon-sealing collar, I can gradually recover."

"In this case, you should stand still to reduce the speed of venom spreading."

"Don't be stupid, two people are better than one person, and the enemy may have something useful." Taksis shook her head and said, "As long as you can get the news out, it doesn't matter whether I can get out of the tower alive." important."

"Hey……"

"Of course, I will not disappoint your good intentions. So I will take my actions lightly and try to avoid such a situation from happening." Until this time, there was still no pain and despair on her face, "The enemy has not eliminated At this time, it is naturally the best choice to save one more dragonborn."

Xia Fan sighed, he knew he couldn't hold her back.

After dragging the two killers to Taksis, he began to tap around, looking for any suspicious areas.But these stone walls are so simple that even the hollow drums from the time of plastering and bonding are preserved. They clearly have the name of divine creation in the church classics, but the interior is completely hand-built. It doesn't look like a hidden mystery look.

He even fired two electromagnetic bombs in the direction of the original entrance.

However, there are still heavy stones behind the shattered wall, and it is obviously not feasible to get out of the tower by chiseling the wall.

To make matters worse, not only were the scattered bonfire pieces extinguished one by one, but even the lights hanging on the walls became increasingly dimmer.

"It's not good, the oil inside is about to bottom out." Xia Fan wondered after checking the wall lamp, "Can't the church fill up the lamp oil in advance when the trial starts?"

"I was the first person to enter the Dragon Tower after the unblocking." Taksis replied calmly, "The lights were always on at that time. And the bonfires too, as if they had been burning continuously for more than ten years Same."

"No way..." Xia Fan twitched the corner of his mouth, "Could it be that there is a setting to return to the initial save point?"

"Save point?" The girl turned her head, "What is that?"

"Uh... You can understand that things have an initial state, and no matter what changes happen afterwards, as long as there is an opportunity, they can immediately return to the original state."

"So, when I entered the tower, I couldn't even see any traces of damage, and there was even a pot of steaming boiling water by the campfire." Taksis mused, "But it's meaningless to think about it now. , come over and have a look, I found some strange...things."

Xia Fan returned to the other party, and saw that she not only touched the man in black's pocket, but also took off both of their clothes.

The strange things she was talking about were tattoos on the killer's body.

They look like countless nested concentric circles at first glance, but upon closer inspection, the circles are made of symbols.These symbols seem to be engraved into the skin, and they feel slightly sunken to the touch. What's more exaggerated is that there is a dark purple fluorescence slowly flowing in the "circle". This kind of luster is very familiar to Xia Fan.

"The Art of Chaos." He said in a deep voice.

"Is it related to the oriental demon you mentioned earlier?"

"Essentially speaking, it has little to do with geographical location. It can be regarded as a spell that uses the soul as medicine." Xia Fan explained, "In the East, this kind of magic is very easy to attract evil spirits, so It is completely banned. The church may not have corresponding research, but it is hard to say about the Mage Tower."

"Then the purpose of this technique is..."

"I don't know." His tone was a little dignified, "But generally speaking, where there is chaos, usually nothing good will happen."

As if to confirm his statement, the lights on the four walls flickered twice, and suddenly dimmed rapidly.

"Oil out."

Neither of them carried any light, and they were powerless in the face of such a stalemate.

Xia Fan clasped the copper wire pendant in his hand, intending to use the streamer technique to deal with emergencies. If a new enemy really appeared, the sudden flash of lightning could catch the opponent by surprise.

Suddenly, a hand was placed on the back of Xia Fan's hand.

Taxis took the initiative to move closer.

Until then, there was a little panic on her face.

If the whole body is cut off by the paralyzing poison and plunged into the darkness where you can't see your fingers, I am afraid that no one can bear such a sense of isolation.

After a while, the hall was engulfed by the deep darkness, and the two of them lost their sense of orientation, as if they were sitting in a boundless and empty world.

Xia Fan originally thought it would take some time to adapt to this change, but soon a new light appeared in front of them.

This light actually came from the ground.

Then came the second, third...

He was surprised to find that these faint silver lights formed a new outline of the room, and the original hall had completely changed into another look.Although it is also a stone building, this time their location is much smaller than before, more like a long corridor.

On the opposite side of the aisle stands a door.

"What's the situation?" Taksis murmured, "...there is no mention of such a thing in the classics."

"Go and see first." Xia Fan picked up the girl sideways and walked towards the door along the flowing silver light.

The door was open, and the scene outside was like a desert, with rolling sand dunes as far as the eye could see.The sky presents a scene of night, and when you look up, you can see countless stars. The smell of the sand being dried is blown into the noses of the two along the evening wind, exuding a unique fragrance of the earth.

Xia Fan stepped over the gate, then looked back - behind them was just a rock hut half buried in the gravel.

Chapter 682 God's Strike

"Look there." Taksis raised her hand stiffly, pointing forward.

Not far from the hut, there is a four or five-story tower half-hidden among the sand dunes, with a faint silver light shining on the top, like a lighthouse guiding the direction.

"So...is that so?" Xia Fan showed a dazed expression.

"What's wrong?" Taksis asked puzzled.

"You mentioned before that, no matter whether they successfully passed the challenge of ascending the dragon or not, none of the subjects could get out of the tower intact. This shows that the trial started very quickly, and there was basically no time for regrets." Xia Fan said himself Guess said, "So climbing the Dragon Pagoda does not need to climb, the moment you enter the stone hall, the trial has already begun."

Taxis blinked, "Then what is my trial?"

"I'm afraid it's the killer sent by the Mage Tower."

"..." She was stunned, "Is this okay?"

"As you can tell from the name, the Dragon Tower can collect the information of the entrants independently. As for the content of the trial... Didn't the previous challengers say that everyone faces different difficulties. If you have been attacked by an accident It is too unreasonable to ask you to continue to complete the trial when climbing the Dragon Pagoda." Xia Fan plausibly said, "This can also explain why the lights will gradually go out, which is actually a reminder of the countdown. When the flame goes out, the challenge ends."

Taxis didn't answer, she felt that her thinking could no longer keep up with the speed of the Orientals.

"There are three outcomes. One is to die halfway, that is, the challenge fails; the other is to persevere until the lamp burns out, but fails to get rid of the danger, which is also a failure. The last one is to complete the challenge before the fire is extinguished, which can be considered a success. The tower we see now is the real Dragon Tower."

"Then you mean... the exit is also there?"

"It shouldn't be wrong." Xia Fan nodded, "When we reach the real top of the tower, we will probably know where the end of this road is."

Taxis sized him up for a while, then suddenly laughed lightly.

"Uh... what are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing that these are all your conjectures, but you can say it in such a serious manner, it's as if you know the essence of climbing the dragon tower better than the high-level church." She paused, and lowered her voice, "And... there is something The inexplicable persuasive power, knowing that you are talking nonsense, but people don't consciously want to believe it."

Xia Fan was dumbfounded.

It is really frustrating for such a reasonable inference to be called nonsense.

"But I think you're right about one thing." Taxis suddenly added, "The towers and lights in the desert must not have been built for no purpose. Although I haven't experienced such a situation, I can still see it." Feel the light calling me, so take me to the tower—I believe there will be all the answers."

"Then you catch me." Xia Fan put her only movable hand on her neck, and just as she was about to run, the world suddenly shook!

The deafening roar came from far and near, making the silent desert suddenly boil.The gentle evening wind also became violent, and sand particles were scattered everywhere for a while, as if a sandstorm was approaching.

"Is this also one of the challenges?" Taxis coughed.

Xia Fan looked at the night sky, and saw a sudden crack running through the entire sky, and behind the dark sky was a gloomy earth.
