The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 1278 Mythical Story
Everyone quickly flew to the top of the tower. Of course, it was only the top of the tower temporarily.

The black tower continues to grow taller, and a steady stream of black creatures climb up on the bones of the same kind, and then become part of the black tower.

Currently, it is the tallest tower in the "Black Tower Forest".

Zhang Wei's mood was complicated: "I finally understand. All the towers here are stacked on top of each other."

I couldn't bear to look at it anymore: "This is risking your life."

"Why do they build so many towers?" Chen Ying asked.

"Maybe... they are not building a tower." Bai Lu guessed: "They just want to climb up. The tower is the result, not the purpose."

"I think so too." Suzaku nodded: "The previous towers were not big enough or high enough, and they broke halfway. They could only keep repeating themselves, which is why there are so many towers."

"How high do they want to climb?" asked the horse.

Zhang Wei shrugged: "Who knows, maybe I want to go to heaven..."

"Boom——"

The huge black tower in front of me suddenly broke and tilted slowly to one side. The scene was magnificent and majestic, as if God accidentally knocked over the blocks that had been piled up for a long time.

The upper section of the broken black tower looked like a crashed spaceship, heading towards the crowd.

Suzaku immediately activated [Invincibility] against everyone.

The broken tower quickly disintegrated, first turning back into countless mutilated black creatures. These creatures wailed in pain and soon exploded into countless black inks, forming a heavy black rain of despair.

At this moment, everyone finally understood where the emotion they felt when touching the black tower came from. It was the "voice" of these thousands of black creatures.

"No way." Zhang Wei couldn't help but sympathize: "Failed again?"

"It will never succeed." Qing Ling said firmly.

"Why?" Zhang Wei looked over curiously.

Qing Ling was silent.

"Sister Ling, have you discovered anything?" Ling asked.

Qing Ling nodded but said nothing.

Gao Yang understood immediately, Qing Ling just wanted to tell him.

"You guys wait a minute."

Gao Yang glanced at Qing Ling, Qing Ling raised her hand, and two knives appeared at her and Gao Yang's feet.

The two men flew away from the heavy black rain with their swords and came to the other side of the giant tower.

The two of them looked side by side at the black broken tower on the foggy sea, silent.

The wind blew, and Qing Ling's slightly longer hair patted her fair and alienated face. She finally said: "These black towers remind me of the Tower of Babel."

Gao Yang understood immediately.

He remained silent and waited for the next step.

"Qing Ling told me a myth. Once upon a time, humans tried to unite and build a tower leading to heaven. In order to stop humans, God made everyone speak different languages. Human beings could not communicate and failed."

Qing Ling narrowed her eyes slightly and continued to recall: "Qing Ling didn't think so. She said that even if humans use the same language, they will eventually fail."

"I asked why? Qing Ling said, because words always fail to convey the meaning. Is the color you are talking about the same color as the color I am talking about? Is the love you are talking about the same feeling as the love I am talking about? Besides, people are still She likes to lie, deceive, and speak inconsistently. "Qing Ling said that what is more powerful than words is the voice of the heart. Just like her and I, we can understand each other even if we don't speak."

The wind stopped and Qing Ling looked up, "I'm done."

"Ah."

Gao Yang was still looking at the broken giant tower.

After a few seconds, he grabbed Qing Ling's hand and closed his eyes.

Qing Ling was slightly startled, then looked towards the giant tower and closed her eyes.

At some point, the wind came again, brushing Qing Ling's hair aside and counting Gao Yang's eyelashes.

——"When the wind blows, we have to work hard to survive."

A familiar voice appeared in their ears, as if it came from the soul.

Gao Yang let go of Qing Ling's hand.

"Let's go back."

"Ah."

……

"Nana, you lose." She said triumphantly. Considering that it was unseemly to gossip about office romances at this time, she lowered her voice.

"My king did not lose." Nana also lowered her voice, very unconvinced.

"You haven't lost yet?" Luo put his arm around Nana's shoulders and said with a bad smile: "The two of them are holding hands and talking about love. You've lost all your pants, okay?"

"I won't listen, I won't listen..." Nana covered her ears irritably and shook her head vigorously.

He wanted to say something, but suddenly shut up and suppressed his smile - Gao Yang and Qing Lingfei came back.

"How is it?" Dr. Jia was probably the only person in the team who didn't care about gossip.

"These black towers remind Qing Ling of the mythical Tower of Babel." Gao Yang said concisely.

There was a brief silence.

"Ah!" Gregor shouted, "It's so obvious, I didn't even think of it!"

"Yes." Dr. Jia nodded, "It is somewhat consistent."

Wang Zikai was confused and had never heard of it at all.

He hurriedly gave Zhang Wei a look, and Zhang Wei immediately raised his hand: "Teachers, what is the Tower of Babel? Can you tell me more about it?"

Okay, I briefly explained it.

Zhang Wei suddenly realized after hearing this: "I'll go! No wonder those things always give me a familiar feeling. They turn out to be various languages ​​​​and characters."

"This makes a lot of sense." Liao smiled: "Captain, Teacher Gao, would you like me to do a reading comprehension test?"

Gao Yang nodded.

Gregor took out a cigarette and lit it, "I'm all ears."
