Chapter 135 We are at the top of the tower

The meaning of the two words itself is very scary, not to mention that it is written in blood, which adds to the weirdness.

Tang An subconsciously grabbed the green-headed Ou Lina.

"Why?" Olina was still a little unhappy. She discovered this hidden cellar and was planning to take a closer look.

"It's dark here, and it's been closed for many years. The ghost knows what's down there. If you're running around like this, what if you run into danger?" Tang An thought for a while.

"Coward." Olina didn't care, she pulled out a dagger from the back of her waist.

This dagger is obviously a high-end item.

Not only is the workmanship good, but the material used is also unusual, because in this dim environment, this dagger emits soft moonlight.

Tang An could clearly feel that when Olina took out the dagger, the female ghost stepped back.

And Olina not only has a dagger, she also carries a gun.

Small, delicate pistol, and not a flintlock, it's kind of like a scaled-down version of a shotgun, with two barrels, and a lot of fine metal decoration and engraving on it.

Sure enough, the weapons used by rich people are different.

Since she came prepared, Tang An couldn't say anything more.

It's just that she just took a step, and her left foot stepped on something, and it suddenly sank, which made Olena startled. When she pulled out her foot suddenly, there was a mummy underneath.

This time, she screamed.

Tang An was also taken aback. He reacted quickly. He stepped forward and swept the bone knife, breaking the arm of the mummy hanging on Olina's feet.

If you look closely, it's just a mummy.

Not undead.

A false alarm.

But soon, Tang An discovered another thing that frightened him.

How scared?

Anyway, even a well-informed 'player' like Tang An, who has experienced all kinds of dangerous and strange events, can't help but feel his heart beat faster and break into a cold sweat at this moment.

"It turned out to be just a mummy. I was shocked." Olina said at this time.

Maybe she felt that she was "losing face" by screaming just now, so at this time she talked about some of her "great achievements" in previous expeditions, trying to regain some face.

"Tang An, let me tell you, I'm an architect. I've been to many scary places and have rich experience. Some places are far more terrifying than here."

Obviously, Olina didn't notice Tang An's expression at all.

She continued to say: "Really, I was just taken aback just now. In fact, this is just a small scene, just like a tomb I have been to. I just looked at the structure of some walls and put the whole tomb I have drawn the structure diagram, uh...wait a minute!"

Olina obviously noticed it too.

At this time, he looked at the wall through the moonlight on the dagger. There were some protrusions on it, and there were also some patterns similar to murals, but because the time was too long, the color fell off very badly.

She took a torch from behind her waist and lit it. She looked at the wall and the structure on the ceiling by the light of the fire.

"It's strange, this structure... If I read it correctly, it is a special architectural style hundreds of years ago, but it is impossible. How can this style be built underground? This is a high-tower architectural structure. And, if you read it correctly, this is the mural on the top of the tower..."

As soon as I said this, the ground under their feet made some strange noises.

Tang An immediately said: "Olina, don't move."

Olina is also smart, so she didn't dare to move immediately.

Her eyesight was obviously not as good as Tang An's. Even with the light of the torch, she could only see the pitch-black ground, but Tang An saw clearly just now.

The ground they stepped on was no ordinary ground at all.

While it looks like it, it's not at all.

What they stepped on was a corpse.

Countless corpses.

Like the mummy just now, similar mummy corpses were densely piled up under their feet, intertwined, like a ball of kneaded threads, or noodles, but they were condensed into lumps.

Now Tang An knows why the female ghost reminds him of the danger.

The current situation is indeed dangerous. Of course, the danger may not come from these mummies, but from their current location.

Even when Tang An saw the mummy just now, he just felt weird and disgusting, but he didn't realize the danger.

Olina's words made him understand the danger.

That's where they are.

tower top.

Although I can't believe it, it must be true. They are on the top of a tower built underground. In this case, there are two situations. What they stand under may be piles of corpses piled up from below, or it may be that this is the only one. There is something on the upper level, but it's empty on the lower level.

Perhaps it was to confirm Tang An's guess, the strange voices under his feet just now became louder.

Tang An immediately sensed the danger and stepped forward suddenly. He grabbed Olina with one hand and grabbed the nearest raised rock with the other hand.

Almost at the same time, the layer of mummies beneath his feet shattered, like a floor cracking, quickly falling apart, revealing a bottomless, abyss-like pit.

It was also thanks to Tang An's timely response, otherwise, he and Olina would definitely have fallen.

You may not fall to your death, but you will definitely get into trouble.

At this moment, Tang An remembered that there was a record in the brief history of the manor in the rewards he received, saying that this manor had no sunlight, it was a place abandoned by "God", and it was a paradise for the lost and exiled.

And in this place, there is a tall tower, which is the closest to the 'sunshine'.

At first Tang An didn't understand what it meant, but now, he understood.

A real manor is built underground, so of course it does not see sunlight, and the tower is the closest to the ground, so it is the closest to the 'sunshine'.

The question is, which idiot would build his own manor in the dark underground?
Isn't that a brain problem?
This is certainly the normal understanding, but there are exceptions.

What if it is the kind of creature that is afraid of sunlight?
From the brief history of the manor, what Tang An read did indeed have a similar description. In short, this is definitely a 'hidden scene' in the plot world of No. 16.

Because of the relationship with the extraordinary potion, Tang An's strength, reaction, and endurance are stronger than ordinary people. In layman's terms, if normal people can digitize, strength 1, reaction 1, speed 1, then now, Tang An can at least Add a 1 to all three numbers.

So at this moment, even if he was holding Olina and hanging on the rock, he could hold on for a while and not fall down all at once.

And this little time can sometimes save lives.

"Olina, grab the rock that is about to protrude below." Tang An shouted at this time.

Olina was terrified just now, she didn't react at all, if Tang An hadn't grabbed her wrist, she would have fallen down together with those broken mummies.

It's pitch black down here, anyone knows it's not a good place, and it's definitely not good to fall down.

But she recovered quickly, and at this moment, she swayed and grabbed a raised stone below, which provided a point of leverage.

Seeing this, Tang An let go of his hand.

The two of them were hanging on the wall, one above the other.

The surrounding area was empty, and it was pitch black below. I didn't know what was there, and the place where they came down was at least two feet away from them. The two of them were not geckos, and the wall above their heads had nothing to rely on, so they wanted to go from the same way. Returning is almost impossible.

At the same time, something terrible happened.

Below, in the pitch-black place, at this moment, footsteps could be faintly heard.
