Chapter 245 The Guardian Spirit

Although it is a good building stone, after thousands of years of baptism, the gray-black tower body also has many mottled traces. Tang Ke stood under the tower and couldn't help but glance upwards. There was invisible pressure from the huge tower.

After Tangk learned all the truth about the sea of ​​​​clouds from Dadarian, he came to the tower again under Dadarian's suggestion. The round-trip journey is not short. After such a toss, it is already afternoon.

Dadarian has long been accustomed to this tower, no matter how majestic it is, he will no longer have any special feeling, so his attitude is much calmer than that of Tangke. As he walked, he said: "There are quite a few barriers in this Sword Pagoda, each of which is set in front of the door. The barrier at the entrance is called the 'Power Barrier', which can only be entered if the physical strength reaches a certain level. But for you and me, getting through here is a piece of cake."

The two approached, and the entrance to the tower was large enough for eight horses to pass side by side, and it was seven yards high, very wide. Tangke noticed that there was a black groove on the stone door frame, which reminded him of a security scanning device.

Sure enough, just as the two of them approached the gate, the black groove moved, inspiring a yellow light. This should be the so-called power barrier. Dadarian swaggered in without encountering the slightest hindrance.

Tang Ke then went in. When his skin came into contact with the power barrier, he seemed to have encountered a layer of cool water. There was no uncomfortable feeling, and it was quite cool. This feeling was only fleeting, and he then entered the front hall of the Tibetan Sword Pagoda.

The front hall still implements the simple and rough style of the tower, surrounded by towering stone pillars, but there are only some uneven folds on the stone pillars, and there are no unnecessary carvings. In the huge space, it was empty and there was basically nothing except the stone pillars.

Just in front of the passage leading to the entrance, there is a pile of rotten iron. Tangke took a closer look and found that the Rotten Iron Pile was a part of some armor, including helmets, bracers, gauntlets, and breastplates. All in all, it happened to be a complete set.

"There is an enchantment at the front door, called the 'Victory Enchantment'. You must defeat the 'Guardian Spirit' in front of you to enter. I will deal with him first, or you will come first?" Dadarian then asked lightly. road.

Tangke did not answer, and continued to walk forward. After a certain range, the pile of rotten iron on the ground moved.

The iron boots stood up first, as if stuck by a magnet, followed by calf armor, knee armor, thigh armor... In a very fast time, the original pile of rotten iron became a tall man. The tin warrior, in the empty eye sockets of the helmet, also lit up with a faint blue ghost fire. He swung the sword in his hand a few times and put on a very standard bull position, silently waiting for the intruder to come forward and lead him to death.

Tang Ke first used the investigation technique.

After Tangke had an idea in his mind, he said, "I'll come first." After he finished speaking, he pulled out the machete, and he didn't even use the second sword, and rushed over with only a single sword. He is full of confidence in this battle, this Tin Woodman is just a first-order swordsman.

"Be careful to hit the red dot on his body, only then can it be judged as victory." Dadarian reminded leisurely behind.

The ghost fire in the guardian spirit's eye sockets lit up, and he stabbed the incoming intruder with a stab. Despite his heavy body, his movements were as light as a human swordsman.

Of course, this kind of lightness is only relatively speaking. In Tangke's eyes, the movements of the three-legged cat of the guardian spirit are as slow as slow motion. He didn't even use any sword skills. He just used the knife to hit the red dot on the guardian spirit's chest as soon as he walked past. The red dot was only the size of a fingernail, and it was very difficult to hit.

Tangke floated to the entrance of the passage, where the enchantment was inspired. He thought he had won this way, but when he turned around, the guardian spirit also turned around and killed him without fear. On the guardian spirit's silver breastplate, there are still traces left by the knife just now.

"One slash is not enough. The guardian spirit on the first floor needs at least two or three slashes. Those guardian spirits upstairs need to be slashed more times." Dadarian reminded.

Tang Ke wasn't going to be disrupted by this variable. He bent down and flashed a horizontal slash from the guardian spirit. When he got up, he used the "Mei Ting Raindrops" sword skill. In just an instant, he stabbed the red dot on the guardian spirit five or six times.

As soon as the ghost fire in the guardian spirit helmet was extinguished, the metal parts of the whole body fell to the ground with a crackle, and there was no movement.

The "Victory Barrier" not far behind Tangke automatically changed its color, from light red to light yellow, tacitly admitting that Tangke was eligible to enter. Tangke glanced at the pile of rotten iron on the ground, and found that the damaged parts were slowly recombining, which was very miraculous. If the armor could be stripped off and taken away, it would be a good set of armor. His pirate-predatory mindset was working again.

But think about it again, if it can be taken away so easily, how could the people of Caiyun Village let this treasure go? It is estimated that if you pick it up, you will not be able to take it out of the enchantment. He figured this out, and he didn't ask any further questions, but just stood there quietly, waiting for Dadarian to come in.

Just as Dadarian approached here, the pile of rotten iron stood up again. It seems that everyone who wants to pass here has to fight the tin man. After Dadarian approached, his expression suddenly became extremely ferocious, his eyes were fierce, as if he regarded the Tin Woodman as a real person, and wanted to fill his heart with killing.

A few sword lights flashed, and the Tin Woodman's helmet was completely chopped off. He flew into the distance, and a gap was cut at the red spot on his chest. If it wasn't the Tin Woodman who was cut down, but a real person, this scene must be very horrific.

The tin man lost his helmet, revealing the undead as his body. He looked like a blue flame, but he had no temperature and was dead. Dadarian also hit the red dot many times. The guardian spirit no longer needs to exist. The ghost fire body dissipated in an instant, and a set of armor was once again reduced to a pile of rotten iron. Then an astonishing thing happened. The mutilated helmet that flew to the side actually moved towards the pile of rotten iron by itself, and the speed was not slow, as if an invisible hand was pulling it.

Tang Ke raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Can it be recovered after being chopped like this?"

Dadarian swung several knives in a hurry, and chopped the rotten iron piles to pieces, he replied with a wicked smile: "I like to come here to relieve my boredom when I am free, and after chopping it up, he will change again after a while. It's back to the way it was."

"It's really bad fun." Tangke shook his head with a smile.

The people of Caiyun Village revered everything about the Tibetan Sword Pagoda. Except for Dadarian, no one would do such a blasphemous act.

The two walked through the passage and came to another hall. This is the first floor in the true sense. The space is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people to hold a banquet here. There are three doors and one staircase. The stairway leads to the second floor, and the three doors represent different rooms.

showroom. library. training room. There are three rooms in total, and the name of the room is clearly engraved on the door plaque above the room. Although it was written three thousand years ago, it was the predecessor of the common language of the Light Alliance. The difference was very small, and Tangke could easily recognize it.

"Although it's full of junk, it's still shocking to see it for the first time. Let's open your eyes." Dadarian walked towards the door of the showroom.

"Is there any enchantment here?" Tangke asked.

"No, not anymore. As long as you can defeat the guardian spirits on each floor, you can freely enter the three rooms on this floor. However, if you mess up, you will still be blocked by the barrier. For example, in this showroom, everyone Once you get here, you can only take one sword. If you take the second sword, you will be blocked by the barrier. As for the library, the rules are even harsher. You are not allowed to take any book at all, you are only allowed to read it inside.”

The two walked side by side to the door of the showroom, and the stone door automatically opened horizontally.

Tangke took a step forward, and what caught his eyes were the swords everywhere. These swords were inserted into the stone ground. Under the light on the wall, more than 2,000 swords glowed brightly. Looking at so many swords, Tangke seemed to be in the battlefield. He understood what the shock Dardarian said just now. When he came here, it made people think that Artolis had a lot of collections and had a magnificent bearing. Second, when the swordsman stood in front of so many swords, he could vaguely feel it. A resonance, as if hearing the heartbeat of these swords. He walked forward involuntarily, striding between the jungle of swords. He used several investigation techniques to spy on the quality of these swords, most of which were ordinary grade, and a few were fine grade.

The ordinary-level sword has been corroded, and the surface is rusted, like an old man who is dying. Although they were forged, they were not used by swordsmen until they were destroyed. These swords are somewhat pitiful.

A small number of fine-grade swords barely kept their original appearance, and only needed to be polished to be usable.

Tangke walked to the center of the Sword Forest. There were several dark scars on the ground. The sword inserted here should have been pulled out by someone before. He pulled out a long sword and looked at the breath of the years revealed by the sword.

"This place is full of junk. I advise you not to move. You should go to the top. Only there are real good swords." Dadarian did not follow up, but leaned against the door frame and said.

Although there are many swords here, they are all of ordinary quality. Tangke became more interested in the upper-level showroom, inserted the sword in his hand back, and walked out of the room.

"The situation in the library is similar to that of the showroom. On the first floor, there are only basic sword skills and training methods, but the training room is worth taking a look at. The training room on the first floor is not only useful for first-order swordsmen, any Swordsmen of all stages can practice here." Dadarian said and walked towards the training room.

"What's in the training room?" Tangke asked.

"The training room on each floor is different. There is a strange gravity in the training room on the first floor. After entering, even walking will feel extremely difficult. Therefore, if you practice swords in it, it is very good for physical fitness. And this kind of gravity will vary from person to person. The more physically fit the person is, the stronger the gravity will feel after entering." Dadarian activated the door of the training room, but did not go in, but continued, " You can just take a look inside. I plan to take you up a few more floors, so that you know what you know. From tomorrow, we will do formal cultivation There is no need to delay here today."

Tang Keyiyan didn't go in, but just stood at the door and glanced at it. The space inside was still very large, but there was nothing special about it. It seems that only after going in can you feel the so-called gravity.

Then, the two walked up the stairs and reached the front hall on the second floor. There was another tin man guarding the same as the first floor, and the strength was much higher than the tin man on the first floor. Tangke and Dadarian easily defeated the guardian spirits on the second floor and entered the main hall on the second floor. There were still only three rooms here, the same as the previous floor.

"Starting from this floor, if you are lucky, you can find a slightly better weapon, but for you, it is still not enough to see. Therefore, you don't need to go to the showroom and library on this floor. Go to the training room to take a look. Just fine."

Tang Ke felt that it was a long time, and there was no need to rush for a while, so he didn't look at the two rooms. He went straight to the training room and looked inside, only to find that it was pitch black and there was no light at all.

"If it's this training room, if you don't go in and experience it, it will be a little troublesome to explain." Dadarian changed his mind, "Come in with me and feel it. Be careful, it's a little dangerous here. Even if I don't even dare to be careless."
