56. Trap

It seems that something is staring at me?

The moment this thought popped up in my mind, a reasonable speculation emerged.

"Before I entered the tower, the pointed-mouthed birds neither attacked me nor left, why?"

"If they are afraid of me, why are they still hovering over the courtyard? It's like waiting for the prey to return to the hunting ground."

"This is different from last time. Last time, Marcus killed a pointed-mouthed bird in front of the hanging door. The remaining sharp-mouthed bird immediately flew away after eating its body, and did not hover over the courtyard."

"Maybe... maybe they are not afraid of me, but this tower?"

Xu Fei had walked more than once between life and death. He knew that it was always vigilant consciousness that helped him to get to the present. Therefore, although he was not sure whether his guess was correct, he still responded immediately and retreated immediately.

Just as he retreated, a strong sense of crisis suddenly hit his heart, making him glad that he made a dodge move in time.

However, nothing happened.

No flying arrows shot, no bulges raised, and no poisonous fog filled.

No traps were launched, and no enemies appeared.

The tower is like its name, silent and silent.

Is it an illusion?

Xu Fei was a little confused, but he did not stop and kept moving at high speed until he exited the tower.

Just as he left the door, the silent tower made a sound, which was a subtle, strange sound, like a bonfire lit dead trees.

At the same time, a crack suddenly appeared on the stone slab on the ground, extending along Xu Fei's movement trajectory from where he had just stood to the door.

It turns out that the cracks on the stone slabs appear like this.

There is indeed a trap in the high tower.

Very dangerous!

Xu Fei took two steps back and carefully observed behind the door. Perhaps because he, the intruder, had withdrawn from the tower, there was no other movement behind the door, and he returned to death.

what to do?

Xu Fei began to think about countermeasures. He needed silver blood, so he could not give up easily, but he didn't even know how the trap worked and he would never rashly break in.

After thinking for a while, he took off his left arm guard and threw it into the tower with force.

"Clang"

The arm guard landed on the ground and hit the stone slab, making a crisp sound.

Nothing happened.

It looks like everything is normal.

Maybe it is a one-time trap and it will fail after it is triggered?

Xu Fei was a little hesitant. After thinking about it, he put aside his luck and continued to observe.

A few seconds later, cracks appeared on the arm guards made of steel.

A few seconds later, the arm guard broke into two petals, one big and one small.

Xu Fei's eyes twitched slightly twice, but he still couldn't understand what the trap was, so he took off his right arm guard and threw it to different positions.

A few seconds later, another arm guard also cracked, and then cracked into two flaps, one big and one small.

What the hell is going on? Why do the arm guards shatter silently? Is this a trap or a magic?

Maybe it's a magic trap...

This doesn't matter.

What is important is how to crack it?

Maybe you can go directly to the second floor?

The arm guards went from falling to shattering, and there were a few seconds in between, which was enough for Xu Fei to climb the second floor along the stairs, but he did not dare to take risks without knowing anything about the trap.

Xu Fei thought hard and racked his brains. He fully utilized his imagination, but still no idea that could stand the scrutiny.

After a long time, he raised his hand and pressed his temple with his thumb, and gently rubbed it, forcing himself to stop thinking randomly. After temporarily clearing the messy thoughts in his mind, he returned to calm and turned his eyes behind the door again. When his eyes passed the two broken arms guards, his eyes lit up and finally had a relatively reliable idea.

The two arm guards are broken in similar ways, but not the same. Although they are both large and small, the direction and size ratio of cracks appear are different. If there is a special attack method that causes damage to the arm guard, then the reason for this difference is...

angle!

From the perspective of arm guards and slab cracking, the enemy or trap should be in the upper right.

Xu Fei immediately took two steps to the left, turned his gaze to the upper right behind the door, and found something.

The attacker was in the upper right corner of the ceiling, hiding in the shadows. Xu Fei hurriedly exited the door before he had time to observe carefully, so he did not notice its existence and did not discover it until now.

It was a sarcoma with a sphere-shaped shape but irregular surface, about the size of a basketball. Its disgusting body had a red eyeball and nine tentacle-shaped wrists. The tail of the wrists had vertical opening and closing mouthpieces. There was a circle of tiny pointed teeth inside the mouthpiece, and the outside was covered with barbs.

It can be imagined that once it wraps around the prey with these wrist feet, it will pierce the barbs into the prey's limbs, firmly fix itself on the prey, and use the sharp teeth in the mouthpiece to bite the flesh.

Although these wrists and feet are eye-catching, they are obviously not its most threatening weapon. Xu Fei guessed that its truly deadly weapon should be the eyeball located in the center of the body. The reason for making such a judgment was that after entering the tower, he felt a malicious gaze locking himself.

look……

Xu Fei's heart moved, took off his knee pads, and planned to try again.

This time, instead of throwing the knee pad into the tower, he pressed it against the ground at the door and pushed it hard, causing the knee pad to slide along the stone slab.

As he expected, after the knee pad slipped into the tower, the strange-shaped big-eyed monster turned the red eyeball along the trajectory of the knee pad sliding. Then, cracks appeared along the same trajectory. Then, the big-eyed monster looked at the knee pad that stopped due to the friction of the ground. A few seconds later, the knee pad cracked, and a few seconds later, the knee pad cracked into two flaps.

It's true.

The attack method of this big-eyed monster is its gaze, and it can kill people with its eyes.

The test results confirmed Xu Fei's conjecture. He was happy and thought of a solution to this big-eyed monster.

First of all, this guy's movement should be far less powerful than his destructive power, because those slender wrists only seem to barely support the sarcomatous torso, and it hangs on the ceiling from beginning to end without moving.

Secondly, this guy looks stupid. Whenever he is smart, he will make predictions based on the object's movement trajectory and movement speed, rather than slowly turning his eyes based on the movement trajectory.

So, is it possible that it was deliberately pretending to be stupid? Xu Fei thought about this possibility, but he quickly ruled it out. If this big-eyed monster had wisdom, he would have been attacked by it in the high tower just now.

Therefore, this big-eyed monster is probably a trap device, just like a mechanic carefully crafted by a craftsman, exquisite enough, but without wisdom.

Since that's the case, it's not difficult to kill it.

Xu Fei thought of a countermeasure, but stopped before preparing for action.

He suddenly changed his mind because he had a better idea.

He looked up at the pointed-mouthed bird above the courtyard and murmured in a low voice.

"Silly bird, wait for me."
