Chapter 181 Entering the Tower
Chapter 181 Entering the Tower
Xu Xun and his men made all the necessary preparations. Ma Zhan picked up a wooden spear, hung a small net bag containing a dozen fireflies on it, and began to descend along the vine.
About three meters away, Ma Zhan reached the top of the tower and stood on the roof.
He shook the net bag towards the cave entrance, indicating that the second person could go down, and then used the vines to continue to the top of the next tower.
Descending floor by floor, Ma Zhan discovered that the tower had no windows, making it impossible to peek inside.
If there were someone locked up inside, would they suffocate to death?
After about a quarter of an hour, everyone reached the underground.
The only area outside the underground tower where people could stand, facing the tower gate, was very small. The rest of the tower was connected to the stone.
Ma Zhan said: "Rest for a while, then we'll go into the tower."
As Ma Zhan pushed open the tower door, everyone was sucked away before they could react.
After a brief dizziness, several people came to a unique space.
There is a dense forest and a low mountain in front.
Ma Zhan immediately led everyone to a relatively spacious area and gave the order:
"Form a circle, facing outward, and keep three steps apart."
Except for Tang Anru who reluctantly stood in a position under Tang Anyue's pull, the rest of the people were all in place.
"Squeak, squeak~~"
After one cry, the whole mountain was filled with squeaking sounds that made people's scalps numb.
There are monkeys everywhere on the mountain and in the trees.
"Here we go, be careful."
Dozens of monkeys swung nimbly on the branches and rushed towards the crowd. Ma Zhan held a wooden spear in his hand and stabbed the flying monkey in the abdomen with the spear.
The monkey screamed in pain, and Ma Zhan exerted force and threw it into the woods.
Monkeys kept attacking them. Although the nine people fought hard, these ferocious monkeys came in waves, leaving them no chance to breathe.
If this continues, these people will sooner or later become food for monkeys.
Ma Zhan shouted, "Xu Xun and I will retreat to the circle, and the rest of you, move your positions."
As Ma Zhan and Xu Xun retreated, the remaining seven people took a small step back, and the circle became smaller.
Tang Anru was the last one and reluctantly took a step back.
Ma Zhan said to Xu Xun: "Do you see that cave on the mountain? How long will it take to get up there?"
Xu Xun took a look and said, "If there are no monkeys blocking the way, three breaths."
"Okay, I'll cover you. When you see the right opportunity, go up and kill the Monkey King inside."
"give it to me."
Ma Zhan then shouted, "Yu Shan, follow me, the rest of you stay here."
Ma Zhan picked up the wooden spear and rushed towards the cave, with Yu Shan following closely behind.
The two men suddenly left, giving all the attacking monkeys a pause.
A few more "squeak, squeak" sounds were heard in the cave, and all the monkeys immediately split into two groups.
One wave continued to attack the people who remained in place, while another wave chased Ma Zhan and Yu Shan, trying to stop them from rushing into the cave.
Seeing the performance of the monkeys, Ma Zhan found that his analysis was correct.
The monkeys' attack was so orderly that it showed that there must be a monkey king in command.
This group of monkeys has already established a preliminary social order.
Seeing the monkeys being attracted, Xu Xun immediately rushed towards the cave, performed Eagle Step three times in a row, and disappeared into the cave entrance.
After a few miserable cries were heard from the cave, the monkeys began to become chaotic.
Soon, they were repelled by Ma Zhan and his men.
Xu Xun, who was standing at the entrance of the cave, called out, "Come up, the door to the second floor is here."
Several people crawled into the cave and found the body of a black-haired monkey lying on the ground, its neck broken by Xu Xun.
There are two doors in the cave. On one door, there is a snake carved, and on the other door, there is a blank.
Yu Shan said: "The door with the empty side is the door to leave the tower.
You have all seen the danger in the tower. If anyone wants to leave, leave now. No one will laugh at you.
Don’t hurt others because of your cowardice.”
Yu Shan speaks directly, but very effectively.
The group of people who entered Baiquan Cave Heaven were all young, and Ma Zhan was the youngest, less than twelve years old.
The oldest one is Xu Xun, who is fifteen years old.
It's normal to feel fear when faced with such danger.
Finally, the two men left the tower.
Now there are seven of them left. Ma Zhan said:
"When entering the next level, keep your formation unchanged. Once inside, follow your instructions."
After entering the Snake Gate, several people carefully explored forward in a bush.
Based on the experience of the previous level, Ma Zhan discovered that the key to entering the next level is not to kill as many monsters as possible, but to find the door.
The bush was hot and damp, and full of mosquitoes.
Everyone's true energy lay quietly in their dantian, motionless. In such an environment, people became more and more irritated.
Finally, they found the door on two huge trees.
One is carved with a mantis, and the other is an empty face.
"Whoo~"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to leave this damn place.
Tang Xiaoru took two steps to the mantis door.
"Go quickly, go quickly"
Just as she was about to open the mantis door, she felt someone pulling her from behind.
He saw his hand getting further and further away from Mantis Dream.
A wooden spear appeared and "bang~" nailed a black object to the tree.
Liu Wenjing supported Tang Anru's shoulders to help him stabilize his balance.
Ma Zhan looked at the round-headed snake that was still struggling to death. Its mouth was black, and its pair of fangs were very strange, constantly spraying venom.
Ma Zhan's wooden spears were quickly corroded and turned black.
Yu Shan said quietly, "I've noticed it for a long time. It's been appearing and disappearing along the way. I didn't expect it to attack at this time."
Ma Zhan glanced at Tang Anru, looked at the motionless snake, and said:
"This guy actually took the initiative to attack us. He attacked us when we were letting our guard down. He is indeed a venomous snake."
Tang Anru had just recovered from her panic.
Now she had to admit that this carelessness saved her life.
But even if you wanted to save me, there was no need to pull me so hard, as I almost fell to the ground.
As soon as she saw the snake hanging on the tree, Tang Anru felt cold all over. She said anxiously:
"Let's go quickly." As he spoke, he walked towards the Mantis Gate.
"do not move."
Ma Zhan wanted to send her over, but she was bitten to death by a snake. How did this fool pass the competition and get into this cave?
Tang Anru turned to look at Ma Zhan and said:
"Ma Hu, what do you want? Don't think you can yell at me just because you saved me."
"Get out~"
Ma Zhan turned around and searched on the ground.
Tang Anru wanted to argue about something, but was pulled back to her side by Tang Anyue and finally calmed down.
Ma Zhan and Xu Xun made a simple shield using clothes and branches.
Each of them held a large stone and slowly approached the round-headed snake from both sides.
"Sizzle~" A black line spurted out of the snake's mouth towards the "shield" in Ma Zhan's hand.
Ma Zhan quickly let go and threw away the shield stained with poison.
"Boom~"
Xu Xun used a stone to smash the round-headed snake's head flat.
