The Path of Evolution

Pagoda refers to a pagoda in Buddhism.

As the old saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.

This is the first time Zhao Hao has come into contact with something related to Buddhism in the evolutionary world, and it is inevitable that he will have a lot of reveries.

In ancient Chinese myths and stories, monsters are inextricably linked to Buddhism, such as the Peacock King, the Golden-winged Dapeng, and even Monkey King, who once defied the heavens, and eventually became disciples of Buddhism.

Coincidentally, the top creatures in the evolutionary world are too similar to monsters in ancient myths.

Zhao Hao walked into the Gate of the Void, his eyesight went dark, and soon it brightened again.

The interior of the Tower of Life and Death was indeed a world of its own. Zhao Hao was on a prairie, and his eyes suddenly opened up, and he could not see the end of the prairie. This seemed like a good place to ride horses, but the smell of various animal feces filled the air, which made him a little unbearable.

Zhao Hao took out his instant camera, and what he photographed was a black mass.

He took out his mobile phone again. No matter whether he took pictures or videos, the picture was completely black.

"The post on the forum really cost nothing. No high technology can be used in this place. Even if you want to take a picture of the map and make a guide, you won't be able to use it."

Zhao Hao was talking to himself when he suddenly felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.

Boom!

A series of hoofbeats sounded, as if thousands of troops were coming to kill them.

Zhao Hao unfolded the wings of the Black Eagle King and flew into the sky to check the situation.

I saw thousands of horses, cattle, and sheep rushing over from all directions. These groups of creatures are no different from the common livestock on the earth's prairie, but the aura they give off is very different.

There are original creatures, rare creatures, and mutated creatures.

"Take the move!"

Zhao Hao fell from the sky with great momentum and took this opportunity to practice the Nine Transformations of Wuji.

Master once said: Grasshopper legs are also meat.

There are thousands of evolved creatures, and the number of evolutionary crystals that must be produced is not a small amount. Among them, the corpses of mutated creatures are also relatively valuable. If you are lucky enough to get a few battle outfits, that will be a big bonus.

The most important thing is that Zhao Hao urgently needs a large amount of raw materials to study one thing - Pandora's Box.

Since opening the magic box, Zhao Hao has been studying this so-called spiritual treasure, but he has not figured out the rules yet.

He was like a hungry tiger attacking a sheep, shrouded in an ice-blood aura, no creature was an enemy of his.

After slaughtering hundreds of creatures, Zhao Hao also cursed hundreds of times.

The horses, cattle and sheep looked obviously real, and the aura they erupted was also very real. However, after being killed by Zhao Hao, they immediately turned into a white light and disappeared. Not to mention the corpses, not even a hair was left behind.

This is not the first time Zhao Hao has encountered this situation.

It was the same situation when we encountered a large group of mutated ants on the ice sheet.

"Illusion? That's not right either. These things seem to be puppet creatures formed from the gaseous state."

Zhao Hao's thoughts changed quickly, so he decided not to waste any energy and spread his wings to fly far away.

He released the red panda and asked Po to search the ground.

After half a day, Abao had no reaction, and the treasure hunter's stunt was never triggered.

Zhao Hao was disappointed. Where was the promised endless treasure?

"Forget it, it's better to find dad first."

He flew in a fixed direction, and two days later, he reached the end.

At the end of the grassland is a high wall that goes straight into the sky. The wall is very similar to the material outside the Tower of Life and Death, and is filled with mysterious runes. At first glance, it looks like a huge wall surrounding the entire grassland.

boom!

Zhao Hao took out the Aoki Blade and used Draw Slash.

Amid the huge bombardment, the mysterious wall remained motionless.

Zhao Hao used all his firepower and transformed into a real man for five seconds, but he still didn't damage the wall at all.

"It's too hard. It seems impossible to break the tower. We can only find a passage from the inside."

Zhao Hao relied on the speed of the Black Eagle King's Wings to launch a carpet-like search.

A few days later, he saw a magical scene in the middle of the prairie.

On a row of ancient stairs, there is a large mirror with a diameter of ten meters. There is a layer of mysterious ripples on the front and back of the mirror. On the frame of the mirror, there is an incomprehensible tadpole inscription engraved on it.

On the front of the mirror, it says: Enter!

On the reverse side of the mirror, it says: Out!

There is no doubt that if you walk in from the front of the mirror, you will be transported to the second floor of the Tower of Life and Death. If you walk in from the opposite side of the mirror, you will be transported to the outside of the Tower of Life and Death.

Zhao Hao did not rush to the second floor and did an experiment first.

He walked into the ripples on the back of the mirror, and actually walked out of the Void Gate at the entrance to the Tower of Life and Death.

It was rare to see someone walking out of the Tower of Life and Death. Several passers-by looked at him in surprise.

“Brother, what day is today?”

"November 3, 2015."

After asking a passerby, Zhao Hao had an idea.

The time inside the Tower of Life and Death is synchronized with that outside.

He spent ten days in the tower, and ten days also passed in Base No. 1.

Seeing him entering the Void Gate again, nearby passers-by were frightened. I had never heard of anyone who dared to go back after leaving the Tower of Life and Death. This kind of place where you have a narrow escape from death is enough to go there once. What kind of trouble do you want to make by running in again and again?

This is the difference between people.

To be fair, the countless livestock on the first floor of the Tower of Life and Death can pose a fatal threat to ordinary evolvers. Especially those mutant-level horses, cattle, and sheep are too much of a deterrent to ordinary evolvers.

Zhao Hao was at a different altitude and had long ignored mutant creatures.

A few days later, he found the mirror again and rushed into the front of it.

He was on a rugged wilderness, surrounded by dense tombs, and the incomplete tombstones exuded a cold atmosphere. This place looks like an ancient cemetery, which is creepy.

As soon as Zhao Hao landed, he felt a chill on his back.

A white arm emerged from the ground.

Amidst the flying mud, a pale man walked out.

The man's eyes were green and lifeless, resembling a zombie in a horror movie.

With a bang, a nearby coffin board flew into the sky, and a person sat in the coffin...or rather a ghost. The thing was covered in green hair, like the legendary big rice dumpling.

"green***?"

Zhao Hao took a breath. He had also watched several ghost movies and was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Suddenly, a larger tomb was opened, and a three-meter-tall thing with a green face and fangs climbed out of it.

"It doesn't matter whether you are a human or a ghost, you must die!"

Zhao Hao shouted loudly, cheered himself up, and waved the green wood blade several times to emit sword light.

Those ghosts and monsters could not withstand the destruction of the sword, and immediately turned into white light and disappeared after being hit.

After killing more than fifty weird evil ghosts in a row, Zhao Hao found out that there were no primitive-level puppets on the second floor of the Tower of Life and Death, and the lowest ones were all rare-level ones. There are several evil spirits among them, which are equivalent to advanced mutant creatures.

"Damn, besides being scary, this ghost place is just that."

Zhao Hao flew into the air and looked down at more and more evil ghosts in the cemetery.

He had a vague guess that the Tower of Life and Death seemed to have the meaning of a trial, testing the combat power and will of those who entered the tower. With Zhao Hao's current will, these ghosts cannot scare him.

Since he couldn't explode anything, he didn't bother to waste his energy fighting, so he spread his wings and searched everywhere.

It has to be said that the Wings of the Black Eagle King were almost suspected of cheating in the Tower of Life and Death. Zhao Hao flew too fast and had a clear view of the environment. And the vast majority of evolvers don't even have primitive-level wings. Even if the mutant masters reach the second level, they can't withstand the endless battles of countless evil ghosts, and sooner or later they will die from exhaustion.

The second floor of the Tower of Life and Death, like the first floor, has an end.

A few days later, Zhao Hao found the end and the familiar big mirror at the same time.

The shape of the mirror is exactly the same as the first floor.

The tadpole text on the frame is also exactly the same as the first layer.

"It seems that the first two floors are for novices to level up, and the treasures should be on the third floor."

Zhao Hao amused himself and used treasures to offset his uneasiness.

He heard his mother say that his father was just a primitive evolver. With his father's strength, it was difficult to survive on the first floor of the Tower of Life and Death, and there was almost no chance of survival on the second floor.

But Zhao Hao didn't believe in evil. He firmly believed that his father was still alive without seeing his father's body with his own eyes.

"I think I reached the peak of mutation in half a year, and my father has been missing for half a year, so he might be more powerful than me. Well, this is possible. Maybe he is hunting for treasure in the moist ground on the third level... Hehe, I don't know it myself. I admire myself, this reasoning is so scientific, don’t say anything else, just take a walk!”

Zhao Hao injected himself with a shot of cardiotonic and flew into the front of the mirror.

The third floor of the Tower of Life and Death is dark.

A layer of thick gray fog shrouded the air.

On the ground, the cracked earth glowed with a strange red color, like the legendary Red Lotus Hell.

Zhao Hao only felt that there was a ghostly atmosphere nearby, and even the air he breathed was not right.

Without taking a step, the eerie feeling became stronger.

He flew into the air, and when he was about to touch the thick fog, he suddenly fell down.

The thick gray fog contained a layer of evil enchantment power, forming a no-fly zone. Zhao Hao was knocked to the ground by the force and smashed to pieces. He grinned and cursed MMP to vent his emotions.

He simply retracted his wings and rode forward on his black-scaled war horse.

Along the way, he saw eerie will-o'-the-wisps and heard strange whimpering sounds.

Zhao Hao felt as if he was on the road to hell and was about to go to the gate of hell.

"Hell...are there really three evil realms?"

He was thinking as he walked, sweating constantly on his body.

The real name of the Tower of Life and Death is Liudao Pagoda.

The so-called six paths are: heaven, asura, human, animal, hungry ghost, and hell.

Among them, the animal realm, the hungry ghost realm, and the hell realm are also called the three evil realms.

The smelly prairie on the first floor of the Tower of Life and Death is filled with animals like horses, cattle, sheep, and poultry like chickens, ducks, and geese. It fits the definition of the animal path. The second time, the huge cemetery was full of zombies, wild ghosts, and lonely souls. It looked like a hungry ghost.

And the ghostly third level in front of us looks like hell.
