Chapter 642 After the Darkness

"We have no choice but to look for it." Taxis bit her lip and said, "First use a wooden stick as a torch and check the surrounding walls to see if there are any secret doors or mechanisms."

"No problem." Xia Fan also knew that it was too late. No one knew whether the enemy would continue to send people into the Dragon Climbing Tower.

"Wait a minute, please move those two men in black to me first." The girl suddenly said again.

He was slightly startled, as if he realized something, and walked up to Taxis and lifted up her trousers.

I saw that both of her calves were already turning dark blue.

"You...failed to control the poison?"

Xia Fan stood up and moved closer to Taksis, and then he noticed that there were black spots on her neck, and her lips looked a little dark.

Half an hour ago she had no such obvious symptoms.

"Do you think I asked you to pull me up... did you do that on purpose?" She smiled bitterly, "The magic circulation affects the body's self-healing ability. Before, there was still a little bit of power left to control the spread of toxins. Now with this little magic There’s not much left, but don’t worry, as long as I leave the Dragon Tower and untie the demon-sealing collar, I can gradually recover.”

"In this case, you should stand still and keep still to reduce the speed of the venom spreading."

"Don't be stupid, two people are better than one. The enemy may have something useful." Taxis shook her head and said, "As long as you can bring the news out, it doesn't matter whether I can get out of the tower alive. important."

"Hello……"

"Of course, I will not disappoint your kindness. So I will take gentle actions next time and try to avoid that situation." Until this time, there was still no pain or despair on her face. "The enemy has not been eliminated yet." Anyway, it is naturally the best choice to save one more Dragonborn at this time."

Xia Fan sighed, knowing that he couldn't defeat her.

After dragging the two killers to Taxis, he began to knock around, looking for any suspicious areas. But these stone walls are so simple that even the hollows made when they were plastered and glued have been preserved. They are clearly named divine creations in church books, but the interior is completely filled with traces of handwork. It doesn't look like there is any hidden mystery. look.

He even fired two electromagnetic bombs in succession towards the original entrance.

However, there were still heavy stones behind the shattered wall. It was obviously not feasible to get out of the tower by cutting through the wall.

To make matters worse, not only were the scattered bonfire logs extinguished one by one, but even the lights hanging on the walls were becoming increasingly dim.

"It's not good, the oil inside is about to bottom out." Xia Fan said in confusion after checking the wall lamp, "Can't the church fill up the lamp oil in advance when it starts the trial?"

"I was the first person to enter the Dragon Tower after the lockdown was lifted." Taxis replied calmly, "The lights were always on at that time. So were the bonfires, as if they had been burning for more than ten years. Same."

"No way..." Xia Fan twitched his lips, "Is it possible that there is a setting to return to the initial save point?"

"Save point?" The girl turned around, "What is that?"

"Well... you can understand that things have a starting state. No matter what changes occur later, as long as there is an opportunity, you can immediately return to the original state."

"So, when I entered the tower, I really couldn't see any traces of damage. There was even a pot of steaming boiling water beside the campfire." Taxis pondered, "But it doesn't make sense to think about it now. , come and take a look, I found some strange... things."

When Xia Fan returned to the other party, he saw that she not only touched the man in black's pocket, but also took off their clothes.

The strange thing she was talking about was the tattoo on the killer's body.

At first glance they look like countless nested concentric circles, but a closer look reveals that the circles are made of symbols. These symbols seemed to be carved into the skin, with a slightly concave feeling when touched. What was even more exaggerated was that the "circle" slowly flowed with dark purple fluorescence. This kind of luster was all too familiar to Xia Fan.

"The art of chaos." He said solemnly.

"Is it related to the Eastern Evil you mentioned before?"

"Essentially, it has little to do with geographical location. It can be regarded as a technique that uses the soul as a medicine guide." Xia Fan explained, "In the East, this method can easily attract evil spirits, so It’s completely banned. The church may not have done any research, but it’s hard to say about the Mage Tower.”

"Then the purpose of this technique is..."

"I don't know." His tone was a little solemn, "But generally speaking, where the art of chaos appears, nothing good usually happens."

As if to confirm his statement, the lights on the four walls shook twice and suddenly dimmed quickly.

"The oil is burned out."

Neither of them carried any lighting items, and they were unable to change the situation.

Xia Fan clasped the copper wire pendant in his hand and planned to use the streamer technique to deal with emergencies. If a new enemy really appeared, the sudden light of lightning would catch the opponent off guard.

Suddenly, a hand pressed on the back of Xia Fan's hand.

Taxis took the initiative to come closer.

It was only then that a slightly panicked look appeared on her face.

If the whole body is cut off by paralyzing poison, and then plunged into darkness where you can't see your fingers, I am afraid that no one can bear such a feeling of isolation.

After a while, the hall was swallowed up by the deep black curtain, and the two of them suddenly lost their sense of direction, as if they were sitting in a boundless empty world.

Xia Fan thought it would take some time to adapt to this change, but soon a new light appeared in front of them.

This light actually came from the ground.

Then came the second, third...

He was surprised to find that these faint silver lights formed a new outline of the room, and the original hall had completely changed. Although it was still a stone building, the location they were in this time was much smaller than before, more like a long corridor.

Across the corridor stood a door.

"What's going on?" Taksis murmured, "... This kind of thing has never been mentioned in the stories in the classics."

"Let's go and see first." Xia Fan picked up the girl horizontally and walked towards the door along the flowing silver light.

The door was open, and the scene outside was like a desert, with rolling sand dunes that stretched as far as the eye could see. The sky was like a night scene. Looking up, one could see countless stars. The smell of sand that had been dried in the sun blew into their noses along with the evening breeze, exuding a unique fragrance of the earth.

Xia Fan stepped through the gate and then looked back - behind them was just a rock hut half buried in the gravel.
