1509 Ring of teleportation (1)
The cave was long, narrow, and winding. Following the long stairs, one could reach the surface of the floating island.
Tang Zhen and Luo Fei searched as they moved forward. During this period, they saw many scattered bones. Perhaps they were residents of this building, or perhaps they were invaders from the outside world.
Just by looking at the skeletons, one could tell that they must have experienced a brutal battle before they died. The decayed swords and armor were scattered everywhere.
This was the first time Tang Zhen had seen the remains of a corpse in the city Tower. However, he could not explain the specific reason why the residents of the City Tower had disappeared. Although he was curious, Tang Zhen did not stop for long and continued to move forward.
The Aboriginals had already arrived here first, which was very unfavorable to Tang Zhen’s plan. He had to reach the core area before the other party. Otherwise, once the foundation stone of the tower was taken away by the other party, it would be very difficult for him to gain much this time.
Luo Fei was the same. Her main goal this time was to snatch the building foundation stone. Even if she was temporarily cooperating with Tang Zhen, she would still snatch it from Tang Zhen at the last moment.
The agreement between the two would only last until the foundation stone of the tower was found, but before that, they would help each other as much as possible.
Tang Zhen and Luo Fei finally reached the ground after running all the way up. They walked out of a fake mountain in a garden.
Compared to the two floating continents he had been to before, there were clearly more traces of battle here, and some buildings had been seriously damaged.
The two of them looked at each other and chose the tallest building in the vicinity. In a situation where they could not use their spiritual power to explore, climbing up to look into the distance was undoubtedly the best way to understand the surrounding environment.
Clearly, it was not just Tang Zhen and his companion who thought of this point. Those natives had already occupied this place. Some of them were in charge of being on guard at the highest point. At the same time, they were pointing out the direction to their companions.
Perhaps, he had discovered Tang Zhen and the other man and informed his companions to attack with the stone.
“I’ll go up and kill him. You stay on guard!”
After reminding Luo Fei, Tang Zhen drilled into the building like a civet cat. He quietly used the cover of the terrain and slowly approached the native standing on the top of the building.
The native didn’t notice the approaching danger and was still constantly observing the sky around the floating island, on guard against anyone approaching.
He was holding a weapon that looked like a crossbow and was equipped with something like a quiver, so he should be able to shoot continuously.
Compared to Lou Cheng’s terrifying combat power, the destructive power of these weapons was like a toy. However, in the case of sealing their cultivation, these weapons still had a certain power.
It was impossible for a world grade tower to only have these ordinary weapons. Hence, the powerful weapons must have been sealed somewhere and would only be released when the cultivators left the tower.
Perhaps the weapons he was using were all left behind by the invaders!
While this thought flashed through his heart, Tang Zhen was already less than three meters away from the native who was on guard duty. This distance was very dangerous, but it was enough for him to complete a one-hit kill attack.
Tang Zhen charged towards his target and thrust his weapon at the same time, ruthlessly piercing the target’s heart.
After slowly putting down the limp body, Tang Zhen quickly observed the surrounding environment and returned to meet up with Luo Fei.
After seeing Luo Fei, Tang Zhen whispered,”This is the only building on this floating island. The natives are searching, and there should be more than ten of them.
The problem now is how they got here. The natives don’t have wings, so they can’t fly. They either have a flying device that can carry more people, or they have the key item to activate the teleportation formation!”
Sophie nodded. This was the only reason that could explain why the natives had arrived here before them.
The last test was a test of knowledge, which would determine the specific location of the teleportation. Luo Fei did not believe that the natives had more knowledge than she, a spiritual Emperor.
If that was the case, the trial-takers from the world of towers would really commit suicide out of shame.
so, our primary goal is to figure out how the natives got here, and then snatch the key items, right? ”
Luo Fei asked Tang Zhen. After seeing him nod, she pulled out the dagger from her waist.
let’s split up. We’ll meet here in half an hour.
wait a moment. You can take this bow and arrow. I have this!
Tang Zhen raised the crossbow case in his hand, turned around and slowly walked towards a building not far away, quickly disappearing.
Laofei smiled, put the bow and arrow back into the ball of light, and slowly moved in the opposite direction.
After Tang Zhen approached the building, he carefully hid near the entrance. He had already noticed that there were human figures flashing here earlier.
Tang Zhen knew that his target was approaching as he heard the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer. His eyes narrowed slightly, appearing just like a cheetah that was accumulating strength and waiting to pounce.
A human figure appeared in front of him. Tang Zhen saw the shocked expression on the other party’s face when he discovered him. Before the other party could react, the other party had already completed his attack.
He put his backpack into the ball of light and dragged the body to the corner. Tang Zhen began to look for his next target.
In the situation where he could not communicate with the natives, he could only try his best to find the leader of these natives. Perhaps the thing he wanted was in the other party.
Like a ghost, Tang Zhen passed through the buildings and dealt with four native trial-takers one after another. However, he still did not find what he was looking for.
Just as he was about to take the risk to draw out all the enemies and determine the target he was looking for, a fierce battle suddenly came from the distance, alarming one of the natives he was about to attack.
Tang Zhen’s heart sank. He guessed that Luo Fei had most likely been exposed and was being attacked by the natives.
Seeing that the other party was about to rush over to support him, Tang Zhen immediately took out his crossbow and launched an attack. An arrow pierced through the back of his head!
what a troublesome woman. However, this will make it easier for me to find the leader of the trial participants.
After thinking up to this point, Tang Zhen immediately followed the direction of the sound and soon saw Luo Fei who was fighting with the natives.
At this moment, she was surrounded by five enemies, and there were three people watching her with a teasing look on their faces.
Quietly hiding in the corner of the wall, Tang Zhen quickly locked onto his target. It was the man among the three of them who was being protected by two of his subordinates.
If one looked closely, one would notice that the man was wearing a ring on his finger. Compared to the trial-taker, who had nothing but clothes and weapons, the ring was enough to expose his special identity.
What he needed to do now was to kill this guy and then snatch that obviously unusual ring.
Taking advantage of the perfect opportunity when the other party’s attention was attracted by Luo Fei, Tang Zhen quickly approached the position of the three people. He raised the crossbow in his hand and shot five arrows in succession.
Three arrows landed on the native with the ring, and all of them hit his vital parts. The other two arrows landed on the guards beside him, and each arrow was deeply embedded in their bodies, enough to kill them.
Seeing that the target had fallen to the ground, Tang Zhen was not in a hurry to take the ring. Instead, he shot the remaining crossbow arrows at the natives who were besieging Luo Fei.
With Tang Zhen’s help, Luo Fei’s pressure was greatly reduced. In a few breaths, the remaining Aboriginals were dealt with and she heaved a long sigh of relief.
“Thank you!”
If it wasn’t for Tang Zhen’s timely intervention, she might have been killed by these natives.
you’re welcome. Let’s hurry up and take action!
Tang Zhen retrieved the crossbow arrows from the corpse and removed the leader’s ring. After confirming that he had not missed anything, he took the lead and walked towards the area where the teleportation formation was located.
