Chapter 491 The Different Dimensional Vortex Above the Ancient Tower
Time has come to the third hour in a blink of an eye
Somewhere high on the top of the ancient pagoda, [Freedom] Oliva, who came here by flying boat, rubbed his mustache while listening to the reports of the two old men next to him.

"So, our chief is determined to kill that kid named Lorja?" Oliva said slowly, seeing the looming ancient tower ruins looming in the clouds and mist below, and irregular shaking in the surrounding airspace .

Nodding his head, Bu Yi helped his reading glasses, and tried his best to persuade him: "Trying to kill other contestants during the trial, no matter what the reason is, is absolutely unacceptable taboo."

"Please act as soon as possible, Mr. Oliva...or let a few others assist us and stop it together..."

"It's a shame to say that, the strength of the two of us alone is indeed not enough to stop that person."

Raising his eyebrows, Oliva turned around, and his gaze flashed past the freshly bandaged wounds of the commoner and coir raincoat, "It's been hard work for you, but I want to wait and see for the follow-up development."

"Don't worry, Seperos' team has already been secretly protected. Unless it is the existence of the level above the pseudo-taboo... otherwise the kid will definitely not die."

Hearing this, the commoner breathed a sigh of relief.

After saying this, Oliva didn't say much anymore, turned around and looked at the ruins of the ancient pagoda in the sea of ​​clouds below, and then looked up at the higher clouds.

There, a looming blood-red vortex was slowly floating directly above the ancient pagoda.

That was something that suddenly appeared above the ruins of the ancient pagoda half an hour ago, and it was also the main reason why he came here by flying boat.

"Have the analysis results come out?" Frowning deeply, Oliva asked several scholars on board without looking back.

An elderly dragonman with a gray beard shook his head and whispered: "The only conclusion I can draw is that that thing does not actually exist in this space, but an illusion created by other places or even other dimensions. The airship has confirmed this."

"You may also have heard a little bit that the ancient civilization that built these ancient towers was a population proficient in space technology. According to the results of document translation, at the end of civilization, they seem to have pushed this technology to the peak. And start to summon the existence of other dimensions, so as to anchor the space of different dimensions where they are located to mine resources.”

"I speculate that the abnormal phenomenon above has something to do with it?" The dragon-human scholar expressed his conjecture.

Without nodding or shaking his head directly, Oliva just looked deeply at the crimson vortex above his eyes, and then closed his eyes silently.

"For the time being... just wait and see what happens."

……

Inside the ancient tower, somewhere in a dark space

Ceperus poked his head out cautiously, observing the corridor outside.

After confirming that there was no one there, he retracted his body again into a certain winding stone crevice that only one person could pass through.

Through a narrow corridor of about ten meters, Ceperos quickly arrived at a cave-like space of several square meters.

With the aid of an indeterminate lamp, he could barely see the silhouettes of several companions.

"How is it?" Reiji, who had turned back into a human form, asked in a low voice.

"I haven't seen the ancient pagoda, and no one else has approached it for the time being."

In the darkness, a few breaths of relief were faintly heard.

"I don't quite understand, why did we enter the ancient pagoda?" Full Moon's somewhat weird mechanically synthesized voice resounded.

"Anyway, Guta's hands and feet on Lorgar's body have been removed. While the referees are blocking him, wouldn't it be better for us to leave here directly?"

Anyway, a few of them don't expect to continue this trial, do they?
After a moment of silence, Ceperos quickly answered.

"You overlooked one thing, Mochizuki." Ceperos smiled wryly, and continued, "Where do you think this is?"

"Uh... the ruins of the ancient pagoda?" Man Yue said uncertainly.

"How about a bigger range?"

This time, Ge Mantis Manyue was completely stumped.

Although it has a high IQ, it hasn't been to many places, and it really doesn't know much about the entire continent.

But soon, Lorgar on the side reacted.

"You want to say Sea of ​​Trees, Ceperos."

"Yeah." Nodding, Ceperos stroked the sword on his knee and said softly: "Although I'm not sure if this place is inside the sea of ​​trees, but I've heard Master Bodoldo mention before that the ruins of the ancient tower The group is densely divided around one side of the tree sea."

"So here, it is basically certain that it will not be too far from the sea of ​​trees."

"But what does that mean?" Man Yue scratched her "head" and asked curiously.

It is very close to the sea of ​​trees, so what can it represent?

"The sea of ​​trees, and the area around the sea of ​​trees, is an extremely dangerous area that we humans have not yet conquered. It is filled with a large number of extremely dangerous monsters, and there are even natural disasters and ancient dragon species that frequently move in it."

Ceperos explained a few sentences in detail, and finally threw out his own conclusion, "Once we break away from the official protection, especially the lack of necessary material support, it is difficult for us to survive here, let alone return through the sea of ​​trees. In the human world, even the vast majority of natural disaster-level hunters in the ancient dragon group would not imagine such a thing."

Ceperus said with a serious face.

"But if that's the case, if we stay in the tower, we will be found by the ancient tower sooner or later, right?" Full moon, who was deeply impressed by the strange and difficult abilities of the ancient tower, glanced at Ceperos in the dark with some hesitation.

"It is possible, and the probability is very high."

Ceperos is not shy about admitting this.

"That……"

"Is it because there are other natural disaster hunters stationed in this tower?"

Reiji, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.

Nodding his head, Ceperos patted Reiss on the shoulder in relief, "You can always follow my train of thought."

"As Li Si said, the ancient tower is still dangerous after all. In addition to the emergency life-support device equipped by the guild, there must be a strong enough natural disaster-level hunter guarding here. This is Inevitable things."

"This is a trial selection, not Gu cultivation."

Slowly analyzing his point of view, Ceperos said with a little ease in his tone, "Right now, we have entered the range of the ancient tower, and with the perception ability of the natural disaster hunter, it means that the hidden lord must be We've been spotted."

"We are under his protection at this time!"

"Just ask, looking at the entire trial area, can there be a safer place than this time?"

In the darkness, everyone's breathing was stagnated for a moment.

I don't know if it was his own illusion, but the moment he finished speaking, Ceperos always felt that he heard a chuckle of appreciation.

The confidence in my heart couldn't help but grow a little bit more.
