Chapter 9

way of fighting.

It's like a wolf that is calm and calm on weekdays, but once on the battlefield, it will show its fierceness.

His ruthlessness is no less than that of the Lord, but he also has a very similar appearance and ability to the Lord, which always makes the soldiers have hallucinations unknowingly.

Of course, there must be differences.

Not to mention the huge difference in strength between the two, Zhuxue's fighting style is different from Xuezhi's.

Zhuxue is like a sharp sword, once it is drawn out of the sheath, it will surely see blood, it is as powerful as a broken bamboo, and it moves forward without hesitation, but because it is too sharp, it sometimes stabs itself.

Xuezhi is different.

As Xue Zhi's direct troops, they were fortunate to have seen the king's action.

The silver-haired man just sat on a chair and lazily rolled his eyelids. The entire realm was blown by a violent storm and the icebergs collapsed. He was able to turn his own place into a domain, and countless ants were buried in the thick snow.Down.

He is introverted and hides deep. Even if he makes a move, he will end the battle in an instant. Until the avalanche comes, no one will notice the murderous intent. The whole process is quiet—it can even be said to be beautiful.

Xue Zhi is not a sword, he is a natural disaster.

...

Thinking this way in his heart, the Lord, who had been slandered by them all the time, arrived at the scene unknowingly.

"My lord."

Seeing Xue Zhi's arrival, the rest of the soldiers on the training ground reflexively lined up and raised their hands in salute.

Xuezhi glanced lightly and nodded slightly. When he stepped into the snow-covered training ground, his face was still as usual.

When he passed the soldier who had been frozen into an ice sculpture, he patted him on the shoulder, and then the ice sculpture instantly melted into water. The soldier moved his stiff limbs and expressed his respectful thanks.

Zhutao was still talking to Zhuxue at first, but after Xuezhi came, her smiling eyes turned away immediately.

Zhuxue's voice, who was just about to answer, was stuck in his throat, and he swallowed the rest of the words, silently staring at Zhutao, who was no longer paying attention to him, his eyes dimmed slightly.

"You're here?"

"Your Highness." Xue Zhi looked at her with a soft voice, "I have located the coordinates of the Demon Tower, and the matter has been dealt with, so I can leave at any time. When do you plan to leave?"

"So soon?" Zhutao's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to say, "Then let's do it now! Go early and come back early."

"Okay." Xuezhi never had any objection to her words.

He gave a look, and the vigilant guards immediately stepped forward, telling them that everything was ready, and asking them to go to the spaceship.

The silver-white painted spaceship lifted off slowly, and the surface of the earth was gradually covered by white mist in the field of vision. Zhu Tao looked at it for a while, then turned and went to the rest cabin.

Xue Zhi was by her side.

"Xuezhi, where are the coordinates of the magic tower?"

Xue Zhi projected the positioning on the optical brain, and the densely packed various parameters made Oleander's head hurt, but fortunately, Xue Zhi explained.

"The position of the magic tower is not fixed, and it is difficult to find its position with ordinary detection methods."

"But the five of us... summed up some rules. No matter how the orientation of the magic tower changes, it will never leave the space-time gap here."

Xuezhi drew a circle at the small light spot on the projection.

"It is located in the space-time gap and is affected by unstable turbulence. Its time is infinitely close to static. Even after going back for so long, the magic tower should not have changed from the beginning..."

"Should?" Zhutao looked at him secretly, "You... haven't been back for a long time?"

Xuezhi was silent for a while when she heard the words, a helpless smile appeared on her lips.

"Those who have already been turned away, how dare they go back."

Oleander: ...

Shrink your head, feel guilty.jpg

All her puppets were released, purely by accident.Fortunately, Zhutao is the master of the Demon Tower, and her connection with the Demon Tower is still there - so a big system is in her body.

With her here, the magic tower should automatically open the door.

Thinking of this, Zhutao patted Xuezhi calmly: "It's okay, I'm here now, I'll take you home."

She still didn't forget to turn her head and take care of Zhuxue, who had never seen the hometown of the base camp since she was born: "You too, Zhuxue, I will show you our real home. That is the tower I worked hard to manage, you will definitely like it."

Zhu Xue frowned, nodded to her: "Yeah."

His state of mind has calmed down a lot.

It is impossible for the master to like Xuezhi.

Xuezhi has a special status in the heart of the master, not to mention him, even those who are also S-rank dolls, I am afraid they cannot shake Xuezhi's status.

He was lucky enough to be by her side like this now, and let her spend her time thinking about herself.

This time, Xue Zhi's spacecraft activated the space jump technology.

The spaceship traveled through the wormhole several times and crashed straight into the space-time crack. Xuezhi opened the barrier at that moment, and a layer of snow-white light silently covered the spaceship, resisting the impact this time.

The vast universe, the unpredictable starry sky.

Lijia stared out of the window in a daze, and it was only a moment.

She saw a tower.

With no footing, no foundation, no physical basis, the tower is a shadow, it just exists.

Through a layer of special glass, oleander heard the kind call from the soul.

That's her tower.

It is her only home in this world.

The sound of the system made her heart tremble, pumping out a hot stream of blood, rushing from the soles of her feet to the Tianling Gai.

[System: Congratulations on completing the achievement "Going Home".】

"System: Your related magic tower functions are automatically unlocked, and the magic tower key x1 has automatically entered your backpack."

The key of the magic tower is not real, Zhu Tao closed her eyes, feeling that her dominance over the magic tower was slowly flowing back into her body.

She is the key to the magic tower.

The old and heavy door slowly opened before their eyes.

Zhutao took the hands of Xuezhi and Zhuxue, and took a step forward. In the next second, her figure disappeared into the cabin.

...

"hiss……"

One thing to say, this is also the first time Zhutao has seen the magic tower in reality.

She entered the interior of the tower, and was instantly dazzled by the materials on the first floor.

Here is the material library.

Zhutao looked around, picked up a high-grade material, and was pleasantly surprised to find that she picked it up without any hindrance.

Because of her level restriction, the system has not been able to unlock materials above D level.

It seems that she has greater authority and more freedom in the magic tower?

At this moment, the system's voice suddenly sounded.

"System: The host is not restricted in the magic tower, but all the super-level puppets you make and sign in the tower cannot be taken out of the magic tower."

Oleander: ...

OK, so what's the difference between that and a lock.

She put the materials back silently, and went straight up to the third floor with the two dolls.

Here is a private treasure trove specially developed by her.

The treasury that cannot be displayed on the system panel must be directly bound to the magic tower, and she has to come to get it in person.

But it's okay, the big deal is that she moved all the things into the system backpack.

With great anticipation, Zhutao opened the door to the treasure house——

She was completely dumbfounded.

"what's the situation?!"

Zhutao's eyes widened in disbelief: "Why are they all empty!!"

Her mentality collapsed on the spot, and she jumped into the treasure house, where everything was empty.

Zhu Tao was stunned for two seconds, then rushed into a small compartment inside, which was still empty.

She tossed and turned, looking up and down, and only found two lone props.

The snow lotus was pressed against the corner of the wall, and the white pearls were stuffed into the cracks in the ground. It is very likely that they were missed.

Zhutao stared at the two surviving treasures wanting to cry without tears, and beat the ground.

"Who killed a thousand knives and cleared my warehouse!!!"

13. Black mist

At a loss.

I was very helpless at the time.

Xuezhi and Zhuxue stood side by side at the door, looking at their master who was beating the ground in pain against the empty treasure house, the two resolved the subtle barrier between them for the first time, looking at each other, at a loss.

Zhutao wanted to make a fuss.

How many years of family property has she worked so hard to save? Who the hell stole her home? Don't let her find it...!!

The material library, system backpack and private treasury are originally independent of each other.

There is an upper limit in the system backpack, and there are too many materials in the late game to overflow. In order to save space in the backpack, most Magic Tower players will move the materials to the material library.

As for the private treasury, it was created by Zhu Tao himself, and it is not part of the game system.

Therefore, before returning to the magic tower, Zhutao didn't know about the theft of her private treasury at all.

Her heart was bleeding, and she held her heart for a long time in silence.

Zhuxue was extremely worried, he walked two steps forward to Zhutao's side, his worried eyes focused on Zhutao's face, but he didn't know how to comfort her.

"Owner……"

A helpless sigh interrupted him.

Zhu Tao's brows and eyes were still stained with depression, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curled down, looking very unhappy, she turned around and called Zhu Xue over.

"Forget it, let's investigate these things slowly... The most urgent thing is Zhuxue, come here."

The boy stood obediently in front of her, holding the only two remaining treasures in his hands.

The white pearl was put into the system backpack by her. She was holding a snow lotus flower that would not wither. The whole body of the lotus flower was pure white, even the root of the flower was the cleanest white.white mist.

Xue Zhi naturally noticed the snow lotus, and a dazed look crossed her face: "This is..."

"It was one of the trophies you brought back when you raided the enemy's magic tower a long time ago." Zhutao said softly, "I originally wanted to keep it for you...but Xue Zhi was already at a very high level at that time, Xue ZhiThe lotus is a prop for low-grade dolls, and it has little effect on your improvement, so I will put it on hold for now."

The corners of Xue Zhi's lips raised slightly, and said with a light smile: "It's okay."

Zhutao raised her hand, and lightly touched the snow lotus petals to Zhuxue's eyebrows.

In an instant, the petals melted like water, rippled and melted into Zhuxue's body without hindrance.

Zhuxue closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his pupils were clearer than before, and the purity of his breath also changed.

Oleander can clearly see his panel data.

[System: Your puppet "Zhuxue" has been strengthened by props, and its rank has been successfully upgraded to A-level.】

[System: Your puppet "Zhuxue", the current level is A level 17.】

From D to A, crossed three steps at once, just relying on such a snow lotus.

Even if it was the younger brother Xinghui who was raised by the old Sanxingxun with all his heart and effort, it only cost Xinghui a grade B.Under the circumstances that Zhutao doesn't pay much attention to Xinghui.

That's why Oleander places so much value on a personal treasure trove.

It is not a rare treasure in the world, a powerful item, basically not qualified to enter her treasure house.

Now, once we go back to before liberation, only white pearls are left...

The villain inside Oleander is still crying.

Zhuxue's feelings about herself are the most obvious.

He clutched his chest in a daze, clearly feeling that a large part of the invisible shackles on his body had been released.Although he upgraded quickly before, he also had a vague feeling of being restricted, as if he would soon reach a critical value, and his physical aptitude did not allow him to break through the limit and become stronger.

Now this kind of restriction is gone, it's not that it doesn't exist, but it has been relaxed a lot.

He lowered his head meekly, not wanting his master to see the watery light in his eyes that was so thick that it was about to drip out, he just declared his absolute loyalty to oleander as usual.

"Let's go." Zhu Tao patted the boy's head and said warmly.

As their master, she has to hold on even if her mind breaks down. Zhutao no longer looks at the empty treasure house that arouses her sadness, and turns around and wants to leave.

Xuezhi couldn't help but said something more: "If His Highness wants, I can return the sapphire you gave me..."

Zhutao knocked on Xuezhi's head, she was not tall enough, she even jumped up to hit her.

"Who do you take me for!"

She was so angry and funny, why is the boss so stubborn, "Of course I gave you all the items I gave to you. I collect props for you guys in essence. And I don't even remember what I gave away so much."What are the specific ones, do you want to take them back one by one?"

"Stop saying such silly things. Besides, I still have at least one white pearl left."

Xuezhi lowered her head cooperatively to let her hit, and asked kindly after hearing this, "Does the white pearl have any effect?"

"For me, it's very helpful." Zhutao pulled the two dolls out, "...we have to pay back the favor."

Of course Zhutao has not forgotten who extended a helping hand to her when she had nothing.

Her former little friend, Su Mo.In order to hide the matter of Heizhu for her, he took all the responsibilities on his own and helped her a lot.

Zhutao still doesn't know why Goldfinger was awakened when the black pearl entered her stomach, but this does not prevent her from keeping this kindness in her heart as a beneficiary.

Black pearls are rare treasures, and her white pearls shouldn't be bad, right?This is a good thing from her treasure house.

Until Zhutao and the others walked to the gate of the magic tower, they didn't encounter any obstacles.

She is the supreme master of this tower, she can control any mechanism and object of the magic tower, and there is a sense of solidity flowing in this tower, and she is really reluctant to leave her.

Glancing at the Demon Tower with nostalgia, Zhu Tao stopped looking at it and grabbed her two dolls: "Let's go..."

The ending of the words was cut off by the sudden wind.

Xuezhi was the first to react. He stretched out his arm, and a towering snow mist was thrown up, colliding fiercely with the black mist rushing towards them from top to bottom!

Zizi——

The soft and objectless mist collided, one white and one black, but it caused a huge vibration, the feet swayed, the oleander almost couldn't stand, and had to be supported by Zhuxue.

Surprise flashed across Zhuxue's eyes. As an ice puppet that inherited part of Xue Zhi's genes, he could feel the similar aura from the two mist: "Is there anyone else in this tower?!"

Zhu Tao categorically denied: "Impossible!"

But this situation is too weird.

The black mist was still surging, rolling in from the stairs, seeping through the cracks in the wall, penetrating through every hole, and gathering towards them continuously.

Xuezhi used the ice fog as a barrier. In order to protect the people behind him, he took a defensive posture and did not take the initiative to attack. Gradually, the surroundings were surrounded by black fog, and his vision was occupied by blackness.

Xuezhi's strength is obvious to all. He is Zhutao's first S-rank doll, and he has already reached the peak. Logically speaking, all enemies should be defeated in front of him.

But in the few seconds that he fought against Hei Mist, Hei Mist was on par with him. The blizzard covered the sky, and Hei Mist climbed up, and the two fought endlessly.

These treacherous black mist want to keep them here.

An idea flashed in Zhutao's mind, and she shouted decisively: "Xue Zhi! Get back, come back immediately!"

Xue Zhi carried out her order without hesitation.

He retreated quickly, and in the next instant, the place where he was standing was swept by the black mist rushing up from the floor. The thick mist formed a tornado storm and crazily strangled Xue Zhi.

Zhutao grabbed his hand, and quickly with the idea of the master of the magic tower, forcibly exited this area.

The light enveloped them, the magic tower faithfully responded to her, and the teleportation began.

Her authority has not been deprived of one point, and her control is still there, which means that the magic tower has not been invaded by others, nor has it been usurped...

Where did these black mist come from?

Zhutao's brows were tightly furrowed, and she looked up with deep doubts in her eyes.

A pair of dark eyes full of gloom stared at her quietly in the boundless darkness.

Zhu Tao's heartbeat suddenly missed a beat.

...

The breath of living people can no longer be detected in the magic tower.

The surging black mist receded like a tide after searching for nothing.

At the same time, the top floor of the magic tower.

If outsiders saw the scene here, they would be too shocked to move.

This is a large flat floor with a vast area.

There is no furniture, no decoration, only rows of extremely neat ice coffins, like the
