Volume 4: It's Dark, Please Close Your Eyes Chapter 33: Soul-hanging Ladder
Of course, Tang Zheng couldn't hear Xiao Lingdang's complaints. His entire mind was focused on his "big building blocks".
Can't kill, can't die.
In fact, Tang Zheng still thought of a prison at the beginning, but it was different from the initial idea of building a prison to protect themselves. Instead, he wanted to build a prison to lock up all these fearless people.
As long as they were all locked up, these warriors who had overcome their fear and kept their original intentions could boldly go looking for the true form of the "Dream Mirage" that Xu Qingyan mentioned.
If it was really as Xu Qingyan said, as long as they found the true identity of the dream mirage in the dream and killed him, the dream would be safely broken - and they could all wake up from this nightmare.
But……
Yes, it happens again!
Tang Zheng had seen the pink house built by Xiao Lingdang.
Using that fairy-tale architectural style to build a prison?
Don’t even expect to keep these fearless people in there for long!
"Xiao Lingdang, look at the paper in my hand." After Tang Zheng was brought by Xiao Lingdang to the sky above the formation where Fang Junji was wielding his sword, he took out a piece of paper.
"Well, teacher, do you want a pen?" A pen appeared out of thin air in Xiao Lingling's hand.
"No need. Now, look carefully at the changes in the paper in my hand..." Tang Zheng said, tearing out a strip of paper about 30 cm long and 15 cm wide.
He pinched the two ends of the paper with both hands and twisted it 180 degrees.
He moves very slowly.
While showing the note in front of Xiao Lingling, he was also observing the scene below.
The fighting below was already extremely brutal. Leng Zhan had knocked out two Fearless, but the extent of his injuries was already shocking...
The pressure on Du Qixi's side was not much better than the cold war. He was also only able to defend himself and had no power to fight back.
However, because Du Qixi's fighting was not as eager as Leng Zhan, he had been fighting in a maneuvering state. Therefore, his condition seemed to be much stronger than Leng Zhan.
When Tang Zheng lowered his head to look at the battle situation, he happened to see Fang Junji's gaze floating towards him.
However, Fang Junji only glanced at him once, and the second time he saw the note in his hand that he was demonstrating to Xiao Lingdang...
At the same time, Tang Zheng could see that the circle in the middle of the formation set up by Fang Junji was getting smaller and smaller, while the distance between the eight star corners was getting farther and farther.
The two looked at each other, not knowing what the other was doing.
"Master, what is this?" Xiao Lingling saw the note in Tang Zheng's hand, the beginning and the end of which had been connected. She felt that this thing was a little strange, and she couldn't say it for a while.
"This piece of paper in my hand is called the Mobius Strip!" Tang Zheng brought this up first so that Xiao Lingling would have a preconceived idea. "Take a straight piece of paper, pinch both ends, twist it like this, and then connect the two ends... Xiao Lingling, run a circle on it, and then run a circle on the other side?"
Meng Fengling put a little finger on it and ran around, and gradually found the problem: "I don't think I have run a circle... What's going on... I was running and it turned over automatically?"
"Yes, this is a track that makes you unable to feel how many laps you have run." Tang Zheng folded the paper flat and tore it into eight pieces from the middle. "Then, you look at this..."
"Huh?" Little Lingling felt a buzzing in her head.
"I separated it into two sides, front and back, and rearranged it into eight sections." Tang Zheng took the pen from Xiao Lingling's hand, wrote a serial number on each section, and hurried to demonstrate, "I set the same twenty-three steps on each of these eight sections, but the depth of each step must be built according to the one I drew. Finally... we do this..." As he spoke, he put the eight strips of paper together at different heights.
Seeing the result of Tang Zheng's final demonstration, Xiao Lingdang immediately recalled how Tang Zheng looked when he hadn't torn open the note.
Tang Zheng spoke a little fast and a little anxiously.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Lingdang. He was not sure if Xiao Lingdang could understand.
"Oh my God! If I didn't look at these numbers... Master's staircase keeps going down, but in fact we only used eight flights of stairs... I would keep going down and down on this staircase, but in fact, I would never reach the ground!" Little Bell was stunned.
Tang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
She understands!
She actually understood it after just one use!
"Yes, this kind of stairs is called... the Hanging Soul Stairs!" Tang Zheng was recalling the copy in his previous life's game that took him the longest time. It was this copy. At the beginning, he didn't even realize why he didn't find the Boss.
Finally, I realized through the markers that I had been walking up the same flight of stairs over and over again, and how could I have moved even a single step towards the Boss?
"People who climb the Soul-hanging Ladder are on a runway with no end. The most important thing is that they won't realize this in a short time!"
In fact, there is a simpler way, for example, let Xiao Lingling make a hamster ball.
But Tang Zheng needed to make time to find the true form of the dream mirage. Neither the hamster ball nor the ordinary circular track could make him feel safe. He was not sure that a circular track could trap all the fearless ones.
Moreover, whether it is a hamster ball or a circular track, a bait is needed to run in front with the Fearless, and this bait is undoubtedly in a very dangerous situation!
"I... I'll try... This building block is a bit difficult!" Meng Fengling suddenly lowered her head, "Huh? Master... why did they take the Fearless to eight different directions, and... they are so far away from us?"
Of course, Tang Zheng also noticed what she noticed.
However, he saw Fang Junji in the distance and made a gesture towards him.
That gesture is often used by combat teams in Xingyao Continent, and it means cooperation!
But the problem is that the two of them had not agreed on any cooperation in advance.
So how do we play this combination?
"However, if the star power circuit of my secret martial arts is also constructed in this way, then do I not have to worry about the problem of star power consumption?" Tang Zheng had a moment of leisure in his busy schedule and thought of something new.
He has now mastered two secret martial arts, but the construction of the star power circuit is still relatively short, so as to avoid the situation of digging his own grave in the Star Tower.
However, if the element of the Soul Ladder is added to the design of the Star Power Circuit...
Tang Zheng took a deep breath: "I must get out alive!"
As long as he can wake up alive and leave this nightmare, then the many things that he has been forced to do in this predicament will bring him a great improvement!
…
Except for Tang Zheng and his group who were viewing from a high altitude, in fact, everyone who was fighting did not notice that the distance between themselves and others was getting farther and farther.
While Tang Zheng and Xiao Lingdang were working hard to build the Soul-Hanging Ladder, the stars behind Leng Zhan flashed a few times and then went out directly behind him.
Leng Zhan held up the thunder hammer and looked at the eight fearless men around him with sharp eyes.
He has been fighting for three days straight!
Ever since he met Tang Zheng and the others, he has been the main force in the battle. Until now, he can hardly mobilize any star power.
However, he had just seen that Tang Zheng had already started to make something...
He believed in Tang Zheng and believed that once he started, he would succeed!
In other words, they may be only one step away from success.
"The lightning is coming again!" Leng Zhan shouted, and the lightning behind him shook violently, but rose up again.
This time, he will stand in front of his teammates!
This time, he will block all the firepower!
He never wanted to see the scene that happened seven years ago again...
Seven years ago, in the summer, there was still heavy fog outside Xinjiang.
At that time, he was already at the peak of the two-star level, and was a young man full of success and ambition.
Beside him, there is a group of comrades who are called guards but are closer than brothers. They have traveled to many places in Xinjiang. This time, they finally set foot outside Xinjiang, to that terrifying yet mysterious place.
Everything in the outside world is monotonous, but to them, even the most monotonous things are very novel. They made rapid progress all the way. With only a dozen people, they slaughtered three villages of monsters and even rescued five or six border residents who were unfortunately in trouble and were almost eaten as food by the monsters.
When they entered the fourth village, some people in the team had already noticed something was wrong.
However, the young and frivolous Leng Zhan still decided to go in and test the waters. As a result, he encountered an unexpectedly powerful enemy.
During the process of forcibly breaking out, Leng Zhan, the youngest one, was always protected at the core. Moreover, those warriors were nominally his guards after all. If he died, they would not be able to survive after returning.
Because, at that time, Leng Zhan was the undisputed candidate for the crown prince of the Changyuan Leng family!
In that battle, Leng Zhan only remembered the same words that each of them said when they died: "Master Leng, today's battle belongs to you. You will make our sacrifice worthwhile!"
Yes, if he had not entered the fourth village and fought with that strong man because of fear, Leng Zhan's spirit would have been weakened. He would always remember the battle he missed because of fear. With such a weak mentality, he would never be able to touch "Thunder God Sutra"!
But the deaths of so many people are real deaths.
Leng Zhan is a stubborn person. He doesn't know whether it has value or not. He only knows that no matter whether the death is valuable or worthless, the fact is that he is dead!
Inner demon?
In fact, his real inner demon should be here!
However, his true inner demon did not bring him fear, but instead gave him stronger faith and determination.
That's not just his "Thunder God Technique"!
Now we are in the same desperate situation, with the same group of comrades fighting side by side.
The difference is...
"This time, I'll be in the front!" Leng Zhan's whole body was glowing with a faint purple light, his hair was standing up one by one, and the thunder hammer in his hand, which no longer had any starlight, was raised firmly again.
Above them, Tang Zheng was watching them getting farther and farther away. He quickened his movements, but his brows were furrowed more and more.
Just at this moment, Xiao Lingling trembled her fingers and uttered a low cry: "It's over! I...I made a mistake at this level..."
