Chapter 189 The Tower
After passing through the gate, the group arrived at a fairyland filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.
But they dared not let their guard down, because there were still too many unknowns ahead.
Huan Yuechu spotted a tall tower in the distance that was shining with a strange light, and her intuition told her that there was something there that they needed to explore.
With firm yet cautious steps, the group slowly made their way toward the towering, mysterious tower that seemed to pierce the clouds.
Just then, a group of incredibly cute little animals suddenly appeared on the road ahead.
These little guys have fluffy bodies, round eyes, and playful movements that make you want to get close and pet them.
However, no one expected that beneath this innocent and naive exterior lay a great danger.
One of the small animals opened its mouth and suddenly spewed out a psychedelic cloud of colorful smoke.
Caught off guard, Mu Yang accidentally inhaled some smoke, and instantly the scene before his eyes began to distort and deform, with all sorts of strange and terrifying images constantly flashing through his mind.
He stood unsteadily, about to fall to the ground.
Su Jinyan, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and rushed forward to steady Mu Yang, who was about to fall.
Immediately afterwards, he quickly mobilized his profound internal energy, continuously channeling it into Mu Yang's meridians in an attempt to dispel the erosion of his mind by that bewitching power.
At the same time, Huan Yuechu and the little girl dared not relax for a moment, and they were observing the surrounding movements with full concentration.
Holding his weapon tightly, he cautiously guarded against other dangerous creatures that might attack at any moment.
Time passed slowly, and through Su Jinyan's tireless efforts, Mu Yang finally regained his senses.
When he regained consciousness, his face was full of remorse, blaming himself for being too careless and causing him to fall into such a dangerous situation.
After a short rest, the group resumed their journey to the tower.
As they got closer to the tower, the atmosphere became increasingly heavy.
The air, which had been flowing, seemed to freeze suddenly, and a suffocating sense of oppression washed over them like a tidal wave.
Finally, they arrived at the foot of the tower.
Looking up, the tower stands majestically, piercing the clouds.
The tightly closed tower gate was densely covered with all sorts of strange symbols, which emitted a faint light, giving it a mysterious and unpredictable feel.
Driven by curiosity, Huan Yuechu couldn't resist reaching out and gently touching the symbols.
In an instant, a powerful electric current, like lightning, shot through her arm and spread rapidly throughout her body.
Overwhelmed by the pain, she involuntarily let out a painful cry and quickly withdrew her hand.
Su Jinyan narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the area around the tower gate, not missing a single detail.
After careful observation, he finally made a discovery—there were several oddly shaped indentations on the seemingly ordinary tower gate!
The irregular and unique contours of these recesses seem to have been designed specifically for embedding a particular object.
Meanwhile, Mu Yang was not idle either.
He paced back and forth near the tower gate, gently touching the surrounding walls and ground with his hands, trying to find some hidden clues or mechanisms.
Just then, a faint light caught his attention.
Following the light, one could see a stone shimmering with a faint glow lying quietly in a corner not far away.
The shape of this stone is quite unique; it fits perfectly into a recess on the tower gate!
Mu Yang was overjoyed and quickly ran over to pick up the stone, then carefully embedded it into the corresponding depression.
With a soft "click," the tower gate began to slowly move and eventually opened completely.
As the tower gate opened, a deep humming sound emanated from within.
The sound was like the roar of an ancient behemoth, inspiring fear in those who heard it.
Nevertheless, the group exchanged glances and encouraged each other.
Then, they took a deep breath and cautiously stepped into the mysterious tower.
As soon as they entered, a thick fog rushed towards them, instantly enveloping them.
Everything was blurry; I could only vaguely make out a winding staircase extending upwards and disappearing into the depths of the mist.
After a moment's hesitation, the group finally mustered their courage and began to climb the stairs step by step.
However, just as they stepped onto a few steps, a loud "bang" suddenly came from behind them, startling them so much that they trembled.
Looking back, they realized that the tower door had been tightly closed at some point, trapping them inside the tower.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, but there was no way to retreat at this moment, so they could only grit their teeth and continue to move forward.
They carefully and slowly climbed the steep and winding steps, each step taken with extreme caution.
As they continued upwards, the surrounding fog grew thicker, as if a heavy white curtain was tightly enveloping them.
Gradually, the air became thinner and thinner, and breathing became increasingly difficult, as if an invisible hand was choking one's throat.
Just then, several blurry, indistinct figures suddenly appeared ahead.
These figures appear humanoid at first glance, but they emanate a chilling, eerie light that sends shivers down one's spine.
Before everyone could recover from this sudden turn of events, the mysterious figures launched their attack with the speed and agility of ghosts.
Without hesitation, Huan Yuechu drew her long sword from her waist and charged towards the dark figures in a flash.
At the same time, Su Jinyan and Mu Yang were equally determined, each displaying their unique skills in retaliation.
In an instant, swords flashed and shadows danced, and the sounds of fierce fighting echoed throughout the space.
During the fierce battle with these strange figures, Huan Yuechu keenly noticed a clue—these figures, though seemingly solid, appeared to be formed from the mist that permeated the tower.
As long as some of the fog can be dispersed, the attack power of these figures will be weakened accordingly.
Thinking of this, she fought back against the enemy's attack while shouting loudly to her comrades.
"Attention everyone! These figures are formed from mist. Let's work together to blow the mist away!"
Upon hearing this, the others suddenly realized what was happening and immediately changed their tactics. Instead of directly confronting the figures, they joined forces to launch a fierce attack on the surrounding fog.
In an instant, various powerful energy fluctuations intertwined, forming a violent storm that swept wildly through the surrounding mist.
