Chapter 694 Human Relics
The fifth floor of the Phantom Tower looks much larger than the sixth floor, but the environment is much worse. Although it is also very desolate, at least compared to the endless red cliff desert in front of it, the sixth floor seems to have some vitality.
"The elves living on the fifth floor are mostly desert elves, such as sand hippopotamus, sand snail pythons, and giant jaw ants. However, their levels are not as high as those on the sixth floor. At most, they are only gym owner level."
Walking on the sand, Qin Liuying explained to Lin Shi and Meng Wan. The group followed Yang Wangchen and others without having to put in any effort, which was quite comfortable.
"But the danger level of this floor is not low. Most of the elves here live in groups and are used to setting traps in the sand. They are also very tricky in this special terrain."
"Pfft..."
As he spoke, Lin Shi spat out the sand that had just been blown into his mouth.
"It has already begun."
Lin Shi looked into the distance and saw that a storm had arisen on the far calmer sand ground, carrying the sand and pressing down towards them. It was obvious that this was not a natural phenomenon, but an elf using the sandstorm skill.
“There’s someone behind too!”
Meng Wan looked back and pointed at the quicksand that was beginning to surge in the distance and spoke loudly.
"Everyone be careful and pay attention to defense. Giant Forge and Moon Bear are in your hands!"
Lin Shi summoned two elves, one with steel type and the other with ground type, neither of them was affected by the sandstorm.
Looking at the quicksand hell in front of him, Lin Shi suddenly recalled the scene of being in danger in the desert of Qinhuang Secret Realm a long time ago. At that time, Captain Qin Yunfei of the Qinhuang Security Bureau used a desert dragonfly to almost single-handedly defeat the quicksand group.
And now, the wave of quicksand rushing towards him is no less powerful than the situation at that time. Although the number of elves is slightly insufficient, the level of the elves is far superior. After all, there are gym owner-level elves among the elves in front of him!
"Cha wow!"
The giant forger stood in the storm holding his hammer, allowing the wind and sand to fall, but it could not hurt him at all.
"Boom bang..."
Yueyue Bear stomped his feet, leaving two deep pits in the sand, and looked sharply at the quicksand in the distance.
"Moon Moon Bear uses Earthquake!"
Lin Shi gave orders loudly, Yueyue Xiong's eyes flashed, and he raised his fists high and hit the ground in front of him heavily. In an instant, the ground began to shake, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, and the ground began to emit waves.
The earthquake and quicksand collided with each other in two different ways but with equally powerful momentum. With a loud bang, at the intersection of the two attacks, a quicksand waterfall rose from the ground, and countless gravels of sand were blown into the sky by the explosion.
As the quicksand was stopped, the elves emerged from the sand one by one. These desert elves looked at the Moon Bear in front of them with fear. Such a powerful elf made them feel very pressured.
"The battle is about to begin, let's get started."
Lin Shi turned around and said, Meng Wan and Qin Liuying both nodded and summoned their respective elves. As for Yang Wangxing, it was good enough that he could protect himself, so forget about letting him participate in the battle.
At the same time, Lin Shi also took a look at the situation on Yang Wangchen's side. Compared with his side, the elves attacking them looked like regular troops.
Not only were there more elves and their levels were higher, Lin Shi also saw a large number of green dragonfly-like ultrasonic larvae flying in the sky in groups.
The piercing sound of their flapping wings rolled up a sandstorm that continuously rushed towards Yang Wangxing and his group, instantly causing them a lot of trouble. However, after all, Yang Wangchen had a lot of people, and these elves had no intention of fighting to the death. After discovering that the opponent was a tough nut to crack, their desire to fight was not so strong, so it was not a big problem.
"Huh, they finally left. It's much simpler than I thought." The smoke and dust gradually settled. Meng Wan wiped her face that was covered with dust, and said happily as she watched the last of the elves leave.
"After all, the elves don't have any deep hatred for us. Their attack on us is just their resistance to invaders and hunting habits. If they find us difficult to deal with, they will naturally not waste time here."
Lin Shi explained casually. At the same time, the battle on Yang Wangchen's side had ended. It looked much more tragic. Some elves were injured, and many human trainers seemed to be affected by the sound waves and had signs of temporary deafness, but they were all fine.
"Mr. Lin, Expert Yang asked me to tell you that we are going to continue the operation immediately. Please follow closely."
Before he could catch his breath, the fat man came to Lin Shi, left a word and left without looking back.
"So urgent?"
Lin Shi was a little surprised. He thought that Yang Wangchen would rest for a while, but he didn't expect that he would ask to set off immediately. However, he didn't refuse. The battle just now was not very hard and the consumption was not great.
The road to the fifth floor was very easy to walk on. With the help of the elves, although we still encountered occasional harassment from wild elves on the road, we passed it safely and finally arrived at the entrance to the fourth floor.
"Chiu ah, chiu ah ah ..."
As soon as he stepped onto the fourth floor, Lin Shi felt an atmosphere that was completely different from the previous two floors. If the previous two floors were in the wilderness, then now he felt that they had entered a relic where there were obvious signs of man-made creations and human activities.
At the same time, Meng Wan's symbolic bird also cried out excitedly and kept flying in the sky.
"The fourth floor is where I captured the symbolic bird. This floor is very special. It has a certain number of ancient human urban ruins from the Elf World. However, the Alliance has already explored it, and there is basically nothing valuable left."
Qin Liuying said as she looked at the flying symbolic bird, with some emotion in her tone. The scene of taming the elves here was still vivid in her mind.
"Most of the elves living here are at the elite level or below, and their races are also very distinct. Generally, the elves such as bronze mirror monsters, scale dolls, and clay dolls are not of high level, but they are all quite strange. You may accidentally touch the traps they designed."
"But as long as we pay more attention, there will be no problem. These elves have no malicious intentions."
Qin Liuying continued.
"In addition, starting from this level, we have entered the range of ancient human activities. We don't know about the new first level, but the number of elves in the remaining third and second levels is not large, and the danger level is low. We can almost pass through it in one go."
"From the perspective of time, we will definitely be able to reach the entrance to the newly added first floor before tonight."
Speaking of this, Qin Liuying looked a little melancholy. Although she didn't say it, she was actually thinking about her father very much in her heart. However, she didn't see their figures in the several tower levels she had passed along the way.
Now Qin Liuying could only pray that her father and the others were just ahead, or had already left the Phantom Tower and returned to Feitian City.
"I hope everything goes well for Dad and the others..."
Qin Liuying murmured in a low voice.
