Four or five miles to the north of Lanyan City, adjacent to the imperial capital, the area that should have been prosperous was a barren jungle. There were even some imperial guards guarding the periphery. About every 100 meters, there was a squad of five sentries.
Feng Jixing, Qin Lei, and Lei Hong protected Lin Muyu as they stepped into the forest. Xiang Yu led more than a hundred heavy cavalry soldiers from the Military Police Battalion and followed them from a distance. His mission was to personally witness Lin Muyu being sent into Tong Tian Tower.
As they went further and further away, blood-red thunderbolts appeared in the sky one after another. An ancient tower soared into the sky. It was impossible to tell how many levels it had. The tip of the tower was inserted into a dark vortex. The vortex was like the mouth of a giant beast in the sky. It seemed as if it would swallow the entire Tower of Babel at any time.
Thunder and lightning flashed around the vortex, sweeping the surrounding land with gusts of wind. No one would have thought that there would be such a wonder so close to the imperial capital, Lanyan City.
Lin Muyu looked up and couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in his heart. He was a mortal, how could he not be afraid in the face of such heavenly might?
Feng Jixing grabbed the reins, looked up at the sky and said, "It is said that the Tower of Babel is the entrance to another plane, but no one has entered it since ancient times. It has stood here alone for tens of thousands of years. Even those who have the power of the Divine Realm are not willing to enter the Tower of Babel. Yu, after you enter, you must be careful. Try to stay on the first floor and don't go up. With your ability, you may be able to survive for a month!"
"Yes, I know."
Lin Muyu slowly urged his horse forward. Suddenly, he felt a gust of chilly wind sweeping towards him, causing his battle robe to sway incessantly. The war horse he was riding on let out a long neigh and stood up. He hurriedly grabbed the reins and clamped down on the horse's body. Only then did he not fall off. However, animals were intelligent. For the war horse to be so frightened, there must be some ominous things in Tong Tian Tower.
Lei Hong said, "Yu, you must be careful."
"Got it, Grandpa Lei Hong." Lin Muyu smiled brightly and patted the Temple Emblem on her chest. "I still have to return to the Temple to be a training partner again. Otherwise, I don't know how Ziling and the other training partners will be bullied."
Lei Hong couldn't help but laugh. His nose turned sour as he said, "Then grandpa will wait for your return in the Sacred Hall!"
"It's a deal!"
Qin Lei carried the Thunder Split Blade to the bottom of the tower and ordered, "Open the door."
Immediately, two of the royal guards, whose faces were filled with fear, raised their hands and opened the seal on the heavy metal door. The metal door was filled with rust stains and was already covered with vines. They pulled with all their strength but were actually unable to open the door. Qin Lei frowned and went forward to grab the door handle with his hand. With a low roar, he forcefully pulled the metal door open. Immediately, a gust of chilly wind with a sharp whistling sound attacked the face of the commander of the royal guards.
"Buzz!"
The God Binding Chains responded and came out. The golden light instantly dispersed the haze. The God Binding Chains was a first-grade True Dragon Martial Spirit and was known as the world's strongest Light attribute Martial Spirit. Three golden chains circled around Qin Lei's body, protecting him from harm while the two royal guards rolled and crawled away. Qin Lei frowned and said, "Useless things …"
Feng Jixing escorted Lin Muyu all the way to the bottom of the tower and said, "Yu, you must be careful."
"En!"
Lin Muyu looked at the pitch-black scenery inside the tower and took a deep breath. She gripped the Burning Prairie Sword tightly and smiled at Qin Lei, "Big Brother Qin Lei, I'm going in."
Qin Lei was somewhat moved. His face was filled with reluctance as he said with a trembling voice, "Yu, you must remember to come out. We are still waiting to beat that bastard Xiang Yu up with you …"
Not far away, Xiang Yu's face darkened, but he did not flare up. The Temple Deacon Lei Hong was here, so Xiang Yu did not dare to act rashly. After all, no matter how strong he was, he was not Lei Hong's opponent.
"Rustle, rustle …"
Lin Muyu lifted her battle boots and stepped on the steps that were filled with weeds and dust. Just like that, she walked up step by step without looking back. Feng Jixing's concerned voice came from behind, "Yu, your body is injured. Stay on the first floor to rest and recuperate during the day. Do not go to the second floor no matter what."
"Dang!"
Lin Muyu closed the metal door with the back of her hand. Immediately, it was dark in front of her. Rays of light shone into the four walls of the tower. Fortunately, it was not completely dark like this. The sound of chains being locked came from the metal door behind her. She would not be able to get out within a month.
"Bang!" The small door on the metal door was opened. An imperial guard brought in food and water. They were all dry rations, enough for three days.
The sound of footsteps faded away. Presumably, everyone had already left.
…
At this time, Lin Muyu finally had the time to look at her surroundings. The stone walls of the Tower of Babel were covered in a layer of haze. There were even some words that he could not understand carved on them. It was probably some totem culture. The first floor was empty. It was about a hundred meters in diameter and was very wide. There was not even a single decoration. It was just empty.
The Spirit Pulse Technique automatically extended out, and her spiritual sense slowly rippled.
Lin Muyu sat cross-legged and slowly adjusted her breathing. At the same time, she extended her spiritual sense and entered the domain of the second floor. Suddenly, she sensed three extremely tyrannical forces lying dormant on the second floor. These three forces were sometimes strong and sometimes weak. It seemed like they were ready to make a move.
He closed his eyes. He had to recover his strength as soon as possible. Those unknown forces did not seem to want to "kill" him at dawn. It would be hard to say if they would do so at night.
Opening the bag that Feng Jixing had prepared, there was a lot of kerosene inside. Lin Muyu could not help but smile. Feng Jixing was more meticulous. This way, she would not have to worry about the light at night.
After circulating the Forging Dragon Bone Remnant Scroll seventy-two times, her whole body felt refreshed. Her meridians felt a sense of peace. Her injuries were basically healed. Moreover, the Martial Spirit Gourd had been frantically absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Qi to replenish its consumed Dou Qi. In less than a few hours, it had recovered to its peak state.
Turning around, she looked into the distance. The rays of the setting sun were almost horizontal. The sun had set.
The sky gradually darkened and the surroundings were silent. Only the faint sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance. The imperial guards and imperial guards were all restricted to a distance of one li from the Tower of Babel. Moreover, it seemed like they did not dare to approach the Tower of Babel at night.
Not long after, a strong wind blew outside. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. The light in the sky flickered. The dark vortex in the sky seemed to be wreaking havoc, forming a huge whirlwind that lingered around the Tower of Babel.
Lin Muyu could not see the specific situation outside. However, she knew that there was something strange about the night here.
Standing up, she lit a brazier and hung it on the wall. Then, she ate some dry rations.
Not long after, the sky completely darkened. Night had fallen.
Under the detection of the Spirit Pulse Technique, the few forces on the second floor were already restless. Lin Muyu also unconsciously held the hilt of the Burning Prairie Sword. This sword was the only thing she could rely on here.
"Sha sha …"
A faint sound came from the stairs. Immediately, he vigilantly held the sword with both hands and his martial spirit slowly seeped out of his body.
"Jiejie!"
Amidst the roar, a black shadow leaped down from the second floor of the staircase. Its sharp claws sliced through the air and went straight for Lin Muyu's neck. It was a killer move from the start!
Lin Muyu was already prepared. She activated the Falling Star Steps and slid her feet to avoid this attack. At the same time, the Burning Prairie Sword drew an arc in the air and landed on the opponent's back. With a "bang", sparks flew. The opponent screamed miserably and crashed into the wall. However, he quickly climbed back up. At this moment, Lin Muyu finally saw its true appearance.
It was an ape. However, it was not an ordinary ape. Instead, it was an ape whose body was covered in a thick layer of stone. This was a stone ape. Its eyes were blood-red and there were four golden lines on its head. It was clearly a spirit beast with a lifespan of four thousand years. The blood-red light in its eyes was filled with violence. Suddenly, it leaped up and rushed over again.
"Jiejie!"
This time, a flame appeared on its claws. A vast flame energy surged on its claws.
Lin Muyu knew the pros and cons. She raised her left hand and directly summoned the wall of the bottle gourd. Black Tortoise Shell and Dragonscale Wall were successful. She spat out her fighting qi and blasted out a Demon Sonic Fist. "Bang!" The Demon Sonic Fist didn't penetrate the stone layer on the stone ape's body. Instead, its sharp claws scratched a huge hole in the Black Tortoise Shell. The flame energy collapsed, but it quickly recovered with the support of her recovery ability.
"Eh …"
Lin Muyu's heart sank. She quickly retreated several steps. Her eyes were cold and clear. She suddenly stomped on the ground and called out a gourd vine. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" The vine quickly wrapped around the stone ape's body. How could she miss such a rare opportunity? Lin Muyu quickly circulated the True Dragon Essence Fire in her palm. The Burning Prairie Sword whistled through the air and directly blasted out with a Dragon Flame Spiral Break.
At the same time, a chill came from behind her.
There were still stone apes!
Two bloody lights rushed over from the darkness. The other two stone apes attacked.
Lin Mu Yu quickly looked back and opened her palm. A gourd flower flew out of her body and spat out a mouthful of poison. The two Stone Apes were very intelligent and knew how powerful the poison was. They flipped their bodies in the air and dodged it. Behind them, blood splattered and screams of pain could be heard. The first Stone Ape had already been killed by the True Dragon Yuan Fire's Imperial Fire Sword attack.
"Pa!"
Lin Muyu grabbed the hilt of her sword, and with a flash of her body, she slashed and attacked the second Stone Ape. However, she felt a chill on her back, and her shoulder was injured. The third Stone Ape cleverly avoided the defensive surface of the Black Tortoise Shell, and directly attacked her back. Fortunately, she had tempered her skin like copper and bones like iron, so her injury was not serious.
There was no time to turn around. Lin Muyu gritted her teeth and a bloody light surrounded her left fist. She locked onto the position of the third stone ape with her Spirit Pulse Technique and turned around to punch it!
Chaos of All Life!
"Peng!"
Amidst the miserable howls and screams, the stone ape heavily smashed into the stone wall of the tower. However, the material of the Heaven Reaching Tower seemed to be very hard. The stone skin of the stone ape had already shattered, but the stone wall did not have a single crack.
Lin Muyu saw the opportunity and raised her hand. Using the Imperial Sword of Lightning, she flew out with the Burning Prairie Sword. In the next moment, the third stone ape's neck was pierced. After its stone skin was destroyed, its defense was much weaker. With the sharpness of the Burning Prairie Sword, it could be easily killed.
