Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 93: Exploring the bottom of the tower prison again (4000 words, updated today)
"An indescribable creature?"

After listening to Li Xiu's narration, Da brain said with interest: "It's quite interesting."

"I remember it was mentioned in the military documents you got earlier."

"It is said that there are a total of three unspeakable creatures on Earth."

"So the files of the other two won't be added?"

"No." Li Xiu replied.

"All I know now is that the other two unspeakable creatures are suspected to be hiding in the Flesh and Blood World and the Mirror World."

"As for what they are called and what their habits are, I don't know for now."

After chatting with the brain for a few words, Li Xiu took the initiative to disconnect the communication.

after that.

Out of caution, Li Xiu decided to temporarily stop his research on the statue sketch.

He had the sketch of the statue put into a box and then sent it into space via a satellite launcher.

In this way, we can ensure that nothing goes wrong.

...

A month later.

Qingyang Sect base, outside the strange fire secret room.

Xie Shen walked on the metal corridor.

Before he got close to the secret room of the strange fire, he could feel a wave of scorching air coming from the secret room from afar.

Xie Shen was delighted when he felt this wave of energy, and immediately sent a message to the secret room: "Bu Tianran, you have achieved the Great Mastery of the Strange Fire, congratulations."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the door of the secret room being pushed open from the inside out.

The next second, Bu Tianran walked out.

He spread out his hands, and a flame immediately appeared from the palm of his hand.

Bu Tianran looked at the flame and sighed, "It's a pity that although I have cultivated the strange fire, I have never been able to refine the golden spirit energy."

"Normal." Xie Shen said calmly: "Golden spiritual energy is mainly for killing and is the most powerful of the five elements of spiritual energy."

“But at the same time, it is also the most difficult to cultivate.”

"Unless you have great perseverance, great opportunity, or are extremely talented."

"Otherwise, you will probably be stuck in nurturing the golden spirit for your entire life."

Do you need talent?

Upon hearing this, Bu Tianran asked Xie Shen, "Then Master, do you think my talent is promising?"

"Not big."

Xie Shen answered truthfully: "Generally speaking, among the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, those who can cultivate the Golden Spirit Qi solely by relying on their personal talents are probably less than one twentieth of the total number. So for cultivators, failure is the norm, and success is accidental."

A one in twenty chance is really too low.

Thinking of this, Bu Tianran asked Xie Shen again: "So, Master, you are considered to be one of those people with relatively high talent?"

"Not counting."

Xie Shen explained: "When I was practicing in my previous life, I got a secret treasure by chance."

"I was able to cultivate the golden spirit energy with the help of that secret treasure."

"Then I died."

“I’m practicing again in this life. Although I don’t have the secret treasure, with the experience and knowledge accumulated in my previous life, I can easily refine the golden spirit energy again.”

Bu Tianran caught the key point in Xie Shen's words: "So it's okay if you don't have enough talent. As long as the opportunity comes, you can still break through?"

"Not bad." Xie Shen nodded in response.

Bu Tianran stopped talking, but showed a thoughtful expression and repeatedly recited the word "chance" in his mind.

I don’t know what I’m thinking about.

Xie Shen didn't care too much about this.

He then took out a purple brocade bag from his arms and threw it to Bu Tianran: "This storage bag is for you."

Although Bu Tianran had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run.

As soon as he heard the word "storage bag", he immediately understood the function of the purple brocade bag and said in surprise: "Master, this storage bag is yours..."

"No." Xie Shen hurriedly explained: "This was developed by Li Xiu."

"I can't gather all the materials needed to refine the storage bag."

"So, I asked Li Xiu to help improve the refining method."

“He is really amazing.”

"He combined technology with cultivation, and then he created the new storage bag you have in your hand."

Xie Shen finally added: "This storage bag does not require spiritual power to open, so not only can we monks use it, but the modified soldiers can also carry it with them."

"It probably won't be long before these storage bags can be mass-produced."

"This is a huge improvement in the overall combat capability of our human side."

Bu Tianran tried to put the items he carried with him into the storage bag, and then took the items out of it.

After trying this many times, he sighed, "Li Xiu is indeed ruthless! I admire him!"

"Ah."

Xie Shen smiled and nodded in agreement.

He took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Let's get back to the point: I came to you this time because I need your help with something serious."

Bu Tianran hurriedly said, "Master, please feel free to speak."

Xie Shen said: "Li Xiu wants us to lead the team to attack the city ruins occupied by the fake people."

"First, it is to build a new military base on the city site to expand the living space for us humans."

"Secondly, it will be a good opportunity to study what secrets the Tower Prison hides."

Xie Shen continued: "And to prevent the fake people from having any backup plans."

"So I thought: before the war starts, I'll go to the Tower Prison to find out the truth."

"How about it?"

"Are you interested in joining us?"

"I couldn't ask for more!" Bu Tianran had long wanted to go to the tower prison to find out what was going on. However, he was worried that he didn't have enough strength, so he never dared to take action.

Now with Xie Shen by his side, his life can be guaranteed.

Without thinking twice, I readily agreed.

...

Just go.

That night.

Xie Shen and Bu Tianran flew on swords together, one in front and one behind, flying from north to south, and soon they arrived above a city ruins.

Compared with the spaceship, Xie Shen and Bu Tianran flew as fast as the wind on their swords and made no sound.

In terms of concealment, it is many times higher.

Under the cover of night, the two slowly approached a tower prison not far away.

at the same time.

But Li Xiu's voice was heard from Xie Shen's combat power detector: "The city ruins you are currently in are located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River."

"The land in this area is relatively fertile and very suitable for growing food."

"If we can take it down and build a base, it will be no problem to feed a population of one million."

While Li Xiu was speaking.

Relying on the ability to ignore all obstacles, Xie Shen and Bu Tianran easily sneaked into the tower prison.

As soon as the two entered, they saw a torturer and a tortured person in the metal room of the tower prison.

The torturer held a pair of pokers.

He grinned and was about to put the torture instrument on the chest of the tortured person.

The tortured man had an incredible expression on his face and shouted, "Someone, someone! Look behind you!"

The man with the fire tongs turned around when he heard this.

But Xie Shen and Bu Tianran were standing there unscrupulously, both with playful expressions on their faces.

The two of them have extraordinary temperaments, and there are flying swords surrounding them.

At first glance, they looked like two banished immortals.

"you."

Because the two of them appeared so suddenly, the man with the fire tongs was so shocked that he fell to the ground.

He said in disbelief: "Are you immortals? Is that flying next to you a flying sword?"

Xie Shen did not respond directly, but just smiled and said: "Can you help me? As long as you are willing to cooperate, I can consider rescuing both of you."

"Can, can, can!"

When the fire tongs heard that there was hope of being rescued, they were as happy as if they had seen their own father.

He dropped the fire tongs in his hand, and knelt on the ground at an incredible speed, kowtowing repeatedly and saying: "As long as you can save me, I will do anything now!"

"No, not just now." The man with the fire tongs added: "Even if I have to be your slave forever, I'll be fine with that!"

"You don't have to be a slave." Xie Shen said with a smile: "All you need is to go with us."

After saying that, he rushed forward without saying a word and grabbed the man with the fire tongs' arm.

in the room.

Before the man with the fire tongs could react, Xie Shen had already used his ability to become virtual.

With this ability that allowed him to ignore all obstacles, he took Bu Tianran and the man with the tongs and drilled straight into the ground.

...

The tower prison is divided into two parts: above ground and underground.

Xie Shen and Bu Tianran came here just to explore the underground part.

Just like last time.

As soon as Xie Shen entered the underground, he saw the densely packed and crisscrossing glass pipes.

These pipes are all flowing with black mist that is so thick that it seems to be real.

The mist was carried from top to bottom through pipes.

Out of three.

When the man with the fire tongs saw this scene, he was shocked again and asked, "Is this the bottom of the tower prison? Why are there so many glass tubes?"

"Shut up!"

Xie Shen didn't have time to waste talking to the man with the fire tongs.

He emphasized: "If you want us to rescue you, don't talk. Be quiet. Do you understand?"

The man with the fire tongs nodded obediently and dared not make another sound.

The three of them flew all the way to the bottom of the tower on their swords.

time flies.

As the three of them continued to go deeper.

Soon, the metal platform with countless metal cages appeared in front of the three people.

Continue going down.

You can see many ugly statues that are exactly the same in shape and completely contrary to human aesthetics starting to appear on the walls around you.

Xie Shen ignored the statues and continued exploring with Bu Tianran.

In order to prevent any accidents, Xie Shen did not forget to deliberately slow down the flight speed during the flight.

Nearly a quarter of an hour passed like this.

at last.

The three of them finally flew to the bottom of the tower on their swords.

Xie Shen stood on the flying sword.

He held the fire tongs in one hand and reported to Li Xiu: "According to the data from the combat power detector: Bu Tianran and I are now 2233 meters below the surface. There is no way down any further."

"It's actually that deep?" Li Xiu asked hurriedly, "Can you see the bottom of the tower clearly?"

"Of course I can."

——Since breaking through to the Jindan stage, Xie Shen has been able to see in the dark without any light.

In fact, cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage also have this ability.

But in comparison, they can't see nearly as clearly as the Jindan stage cultivators.

air.

Xie Shen activated the spiritual power in his body and added it to his eyes.

The next second, everything at the bottom of the tower was in his sight.

Can see:

There is an enormous black vortex at the bottom of the tower.

The vortex was rotating at a slow speed - Xie Shen observed roughly that the vortex could complete a circle approximately every three minutes.

He told Li Xiu the situation truthfully.

"Black vortex?" Li Xiu asked curiously, "Is the vortex solid or translucent?"

"It should be translucent and not substantial." Xie Shen replied.

"That vortex is embedded in the ground."

"Then I just tried to destroy the nearby ground and found that it was no different from normal ground."

“They are all destructible.”

"As for the vortex itself."

Xie Shen finally said: "Whether it is magic, flying swords, or firearms, none of them can touch the vortex, let alone cause damage to it."

in the dark.

Just as Xie Shen was talking to Li Xiu, a blue light suddenly emerged from the black vortex at the bottom of the tower.

This went on for a while.

When the blue light dissipated, a fake person appeared out of thin air above the vortex.

"This"

The moment he saw the fake person, Bu Tianran was instinctively stunned.

After all, he is a monk who has always lived on Earth, and his vigilance is obviously not high enough.

compare to.

Xie Shen, who has been in the world of cultivation for nearly a thousand years, is much more decisive and fierce.

The moment he saw the fake man, he immediately controlled the flying sword and pierced his chest.

After solving the problem, Xie Shen said to Li Xiu: "A fake person just came out of the vortex."

"I suspect that the black vortex is probably some kind of alien portal."

"The fake people on Earth were teleported here through that portal."

"Then let's test it!" After hearing what Xie Shen said, Li Xiu suddenly confirmed with him: "I asked you to capture a human from the Tower Prison and bring him down. You should have remembered it."

"Of course I remember that."

Xie Shen glanced at the man with the tongs who was held in the air with one hand, and asked, "What? Are you going to throw this captured person into the whirlpool?"

Li Xiu said calmly, "No hurry, let's ask him about his date of birth first."

"clear."

After Xie Shen responded, he turned to the man with the fire tongs and said, "Hey, can you still speak?"

"Ah? Yes!" Fire Tongs responded quickly after reacting.

Xie Shen instructed: "Listen: I'm giving you a chance to escape from Tower Prison. It depends on whether you can seize it."

"You say, you say!" the man with the fire tongs said excitedly.

Xie Shen said: "Please tell me your name and date of birth."

"Then, in a moment, I will throw you into the black vortex below."

"If you die in that vortex, we will resurrect you immediately outside the tower prison."

"And if you weren't dead."

Xie Shen continued, "Then you must remember to look around and find out what is going on in the vortex."

"After you read this, commit suicide, and we will still resurrect you outside the Tower Prison."

"Do you understand?"

“Yes, yes, yes!” Seeing that Xie Shen was really planning to rescue him, the man with the fire tongs said excitedly, “Are you going to throw it away now? Don’t worry, I promise I can complete the task.”

"Throw it away now." Xie Shen said, and patted the storage bag on his waist.

After taking out the searchlight and dagger and handing them to the man with the fire tongs, Xie Shen waved his hand and released a stream of spiritual power.

The spiritual power carried the man with the fire tongs and slowly sent him into the vortex.
