A pincer attack. It was obvious that this situation was deliberately created by someone. In other words, someone was controlling these flaming puppets to surround Li Huailin and the others. Although the levels of these things were not high and would not cause any trouble for Li Huailin, the main problem was still Ceci and Gloria.
"Heh … Fortunately, I'm smart and thought of what to do long ago," Li Huailin said with a smile. Yes, he knew that bringing Ceci and Gloria with him would give him two more burdens. How could Li Huailin not think of how to deal with troublesome situations?
"You two go up and enjoy the scenery for a while." As Li Huailin spoke, he waved his hand. With a flash of golden light, the huge figure of Millet appeared directly beside Li Huailin. With a swipe of its claws, Millet directly pinched Ceci and Gloria on this side. Then, a gust of wind blew, and the two of them flew into the air.
Yes, Ceci and Gloria were both NPCs, so there was no problem of riding or not. They could totally let Millet fly them into the air. Of course, that would not be a problem.
Of course, Ceci was already very used to Millet. He had ridden on it many times before. On the other hand, Gloria was a little frightened. It was actually a dragon. She had never seen such a thing before. Not only did it look terrifying, but it also grabbed her directly. She almost fainted from fright. When she came back to her senses, she was already in the sky.
"What … What is this?" Gloria looked at Ceci beside her and asked nervously.
"It's okay. Don't worry. This is Huailin's pet," Ceci said immediately. "It's safe here. Just wait for Huailin to get rid of them."
After all, Millet was now suffering from divine punishment, so its attributes were really a little pitifully low. In terms of combat, Millet could not help much, but it was very qualified as a means of transportation. Now that Ceci and Gloria were safe, Li Huailin could certainly deal with these guys with peace of mind.
"Hey, hey, drink some water. Look after yourself. If you die, you'll have to run over from the city again. What a waste of time." Li Huailin turned his head and asked Hongyan to drink water. Of course, it didn't matter if Hongyan drank water. If she died, she could just revive and run again.
"There … there shouldn't be any problem," Hongyan said uncertainly as she drank some water.
"I'm going," Li Huailin said as he picked up the Source and charged at the flaming puppets. With Li Huailin's current Attributes, these Level 50-75 monsters were basically no threat to Li Huailin. Li Huailin also deliberately tested their Attack Power. Indeed, these monsters' Attack Power was slightly higher than that of ordinary monsters of his level. After all, they were Attribute attacks, and Li Huailin's resistance to all Attributes was very low. However, the so-called slightly higher resistance was only slightly higher. With Li Huailin's current Defense, he could practically ignore the enemy's physical Attack Power. With Li Huailin's nearly 70,000 HP, these people really couldn't take him down. Just his natural HP regeneration alone was enough to offset the damage.
Meanwhile, with Li Huailin's current Attack Power, cutting through them was no different from chopping vegetables. His normal attacks were already over 10,000 HP. The strongest of these monsters were only Level 75 Mercenary Puppets, and they were only Common monsters. They couldn't withstand Li Huailin's damage at all. With a casual wave of his hand, they fell in droves.
In comparison, Hongyan had a slightly more difficult time drinking water. Although her equipment was good, her level was too low. She couldn't hold out against so many monsters. However, as she followed Li Huailin, she didn't encounter many monsters. Although she didn't have the ability to kill these monsters, protecting herself wasn't a problem.
Of course, as Li Huailin hacked at the monsters, he also observed the Flame Puppets. Although these were manipulated corpses, the system determined that they still had HP. When Li Huailin slashed down, he cut a puppet in half. The system indicated that the puppet's HP was gone. However, the puppet didn't mend itself. The flames on its body disappeared, and it couldn't stand up again. In general, these puppets were somewhat similar to Undead creatures.
As Li Huailin had chosen to attack the monsters directly, the battle lasted slightly longer. It took Li Huailin more than ten minutes to kill the 100-plus humanoid monsters and the 100-plus humanoid and beast puppets that had come to protect him. Very quickly, a pile of charred corpses and limbs was left on the ground. After inspecting the corpses, Li Huailin concluded that no one had escaped. He then looked at Hongyan, who was beside him, and noticed that nothing had happened to her. Hence, he waved at Millet, who was hovering in the air. Immediately, Millet flew back and placed Ceci and Gloria on the ground.
Gloria was still a little afraid of Millet. This time, she hid beside Li Huailin, looking at Millet's massive body worriedly. This made Millet feel slightly wronged.
"Alright, there should be no more ambushes." Li Huailin said, "We can go in now. Are you two going together or waiting outside? Personally, I think it's better to wait outside. It's safer to stay on Millet's back."
"Of course, we're going together. How can I miss this?" Ceci immediately replied.
"I'll go too," Gloria said softly. Perhaps it was because she was afraid of Millet or because she was afraid of Millet.
"Then … let's go." Li Huailin nodded without saying anything. He took the lead and walked into the interior of the fire-gathering tower. Of course, the people behind him immediately followed.
The inside of the tower was as dark as what they saw from the outside. After taking a few steps in, it was so dark that they couldn't see anything. There didn't seem to be any windows here, and there were no lights. However, Hongyan was a Priest, so she knew the light spell Illumination. She immediately lit up their surroundings, which made the girls feel a little more at ease.
With the light from Illumination, Li Huailin took a look at the situation inside the tower. Sure enough, the interior of the tower was also a mess. After all, it had been baptized by fire. The entire floor, walls, and ceiling were all smoked black. And the strange thing was that the charred marks on the burned places seemed to vaguely present a strange pattern. The black pattern covered every place, making people feel very depressed and a little scary.
"I see. This is the 'black wallpaper' of the Balhaer Fire-Gathering Tower that they were talking about. It's a little weird. "Among the three girls, Ceci was the only one who looked around with great interest.
"So what are the tourists looking for? Why are people so curious nowadays?" Li Huailin said with a hand on his forehead.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, it's so scary here," Hongyan said while holding Li Huailin's arm. "Will something jump out again?"
"Of course." Li Huailin spread his hands and said, "Didn't they already send their men to surround us? They must know that we are looking for them. So, don't worry about anything. Just walk away."
"Are you talking about the operator of these things?" Ceci asked. "Is he in this tower?"
"Generally speaking," Li Huailin said, pointing to Gloria. "Didn't she say that there are monsters that eat people? We haven't met them yet, but I guess we will meet them soon. "
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I'm a little scared now." Hongyan said while drinking water. Although she thought it was fun before, the atmosphere here was different, and she was really a little scared.
"You have to go even if you are scared. Why don't you go back to the city alone?" Li Huailin asked.
"That won't do … Brother-in-law, I can't rest assured if you go alone," Hongyan said immediately after drinking water.
"…" Li Huailin held his forehead and said, "Okay, okay. Let's look around and see what's there."
"There is a staircase here." Ceci pointed to the side and said, "Okay, okay. Let's look around and see what's there."
"Damn, this tower is so tall. Why didn't they install an elevator? We have to climb the stairs by ourselves. What tourism development? They don't care about the tourists at all." Li Huailin turned his head and looked at the staircase. It was a little broken, but the key parts seemed to have been repaired later. It was completely different from the previous steps that were burned black. It was probably repaired during the tourism development so that tourists could go up. Li Huailin felt that this kind of cultural relic repair work was a zero. It completely ruined the atmosphere. At least repair it with a stone of similar color.
In short, there should be no problem with this staircase. Following the stairs, Li Huailin began to climb up. The Bahail Fire-Gathering Tower was not like Hua Xia's tower, which had a multi-story structure. A large section in the middle was basically a staircase. Occasionally, there were a few empty platforms in the middle, which seemed to be for people to rest or for other purposes. However, there was nothing on them.
The staircase was also extremely long. In addition, the environment inside was the same, and there were no windows to look out. As they climbed, they did not know how high they had climbed. They were not even sure if they were moving forward.
Just as Li Huailin was about to use the laser to open a hole in the wall to see where they were, Ceci suddenly pointed to the front and said, "It seems to be the second floor."
Li Huailin looked up. Indeed, there was a ceiling in front, which was a partition. After taking a few more steps, a slightly large wooden door appeared in front of everyone. It was also a wooden door that was a little larger than the size of an ordinary person. It looked very thick.
"Why is there a wooden door? Was it added later?" Li Huailin said as he wanted to push the door, but Gloria, who was next to him, suddenly pulled Li Huailin.
"Wait!" Gloria said a little excitedly.
"What's wrong?" Li Huailin asked.
"I've seen this scene before," Gloria said immediately. "The man-eating monster I saw is behind this door!"
