Chapter 8 The Endless Staircase
No wonder Dora and others were so surprised. Giant Technique and Iron Body are both real third-level witchcraft, and they are very rare, and ordinary wizards cannot access them.
Lance is obviously just a second-level wizard, so how could he use third-level wizard?
This question lingers in their minds and is puzzled.
The existence of gene chips has always been one of Lance's most powerful trump cards. This is a technology beyond this world and a huge capital for him to move forward on the road to a strong man.
After completely turning on the elite sub-chip [Black Iron Giant], Lance only felt that his body became extremely stiff, but full of power!
The rough metal friction sound came from his ears, and the first wave of witchcraft swords surrounded him in an attempt to break through his defense, but their strength was obviously not enough to break through Lance's hard defense.
He couldn't help but waved his hand hard, and in an instant, a crackling sound continued to sound, and a large witchcraft sword was swept away!
That scene was like an ordinary person sweeping away flies and mosquitoes, extremely relaxed!
"It turns out that the strength has been strengthened 100%!"
Lance was delighted and suddenly strided towards the floating stairs in the distance.
He didn't care about these witchcraft swords around him, because these little things could not break the defense at all.
After the Black Iron Giant was turned on, his speed did not decrease, but increased a little, because his size became larger and his strides increased, but the frequency of his steps did not slow down.
Lance walked forward with a big strode, and reached out his hand casually. He could catch five or six witchcraft swords with one force. These small witchcraft swords were not his opponents in this state at all. If he pinched them hard, these witchcraft swords would make shrill wails and deform. Taking advantage of the moment when they lost their spirituality, Lance quickly threw them into the amber ring.
In just five breaths, there were twenty slightly injured witchcraft swords in one space in the amber ring!
Lance could even consider opening a specialty store for witchcraft swords, and they are all of them of excellent quality.
But his ease did not last long, because just a quarter of a mile away from the suspended stairs, the second wave of witchcraft swords also chased after him.
This wave of witchcraft swords has a medium size. The number is small, with only fifty, and it is the least of the three types of witchcraft swords. However, their power is much stronger than that of the miniature witchcraft swords.
Their speed was also very fast. Lance could not dodge and could only let them attack their skin by stabbing or slashing.
Bang! Bang!
With crisp sounds, Lance will temporarily lose his pain after transforming, and he only saw his steel shell being sunk a lot!
"No. This witchcraft sword can pose a great threat to me, so I can't be greedy anymore!"
Lans suddenly felt a stern, knowing that this place should not be kept for a long time. If he wanted to catch a few more witchcraft swords because of greed, if he was surrounded by the last wave of witchcraft swords, his life would probably be explained here!
He ran away with his terrifying steel body, and with the attack of dense witchcraft swords, he ran through the last distance.
Finally, before the last wave of large witchcraft swords arrived, he rushed out of the patrol terrain of the witchcraft sword and came to the front of the floating stairs.
Instead of waiting for him on the spot, the other four people were frightened by the terrifying scene and climbed quickly, standing on a suspended staircase thirty feet above the ground.
They looked at the intact Lance, then looked at the witchcraft sword that was unwilling to disperse, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief.
After going through the crisis, Lance also felt relieved and chose to close the Black Iron Giant.
The next second, the steel skin turned into a human body, and he felt a burst of soreness surged into his forehead.
"hiss……"
With a slight lift, Lance couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.
Not only is the arms extremely sour, but their appearance is also full of bruises and scars!
In addition, there were more or less blunt injuries in other parts of the body, but they did not suffer any serious internal injuries, which was a great blessing in disguise.
"The attack power of these witchcraft swords cannot be underestimated. Fortunately, I have mastered some of the black iron giants' abilities and can use the sub-chip to temporarily transform into the black iron man, otherwise I really can't escape."
He looked back with some fear, then took a rest for a while before dragging his sore body step by step up the suspended stairs.
Five minutes later, the five people finally gathered together.
The other four people looked at Lance with the look of looking at the monster, but because of the previous deeds as a precedent, they did not plan to ask Lance anymore. Because they knew that even if they asked, they would not get the result they wanted.
"How are you? Lance, are you okay?"
Dora asked with concern. In her opinion, Lance and herself were the most important roles in the team. Now Lance's condition seems to be worrying, and the next journey will be much trouble.
"It doesn't matter." Lance waved his hand. The recovery ability of the Demon Heart is still very strong. At most, the bruises will disappear in two hours.
With his willpower, this pain can still be restrained.
"We still have a lot of roads to rush! The day after tomorrow it will be the summer solstice. If we don't hurry up, even if we find the Civare Castle and fail to catch the right time, our previous efforts will be in vain."
"Let's go, everyone should be careful."
He looked up at the suspended steps above the sky, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
...
Under the influence of some mysterious force, the long stone stairs floated piece by piece in the center of the canyon.
The suspended stairs are not straight up and down, but are constantly rotating, like a road in a mountain surrounding the rise. However, each rising ring has irregular shapes, ranging from big to small, high to low.
Looking up, the cliffs on both sides seemed to be able to fall down at any time. The feeling of dizziness gradually increased.
At first, a few people would talk occasionally, but later, they climbed up with difficulty, but walked silently without saying a word.
Except for the sound of footsteps still sounding again, tranquility has long dominated this mysterious ladder.
After walking for an hour, I still couldn't reach the end of the ladder.
A hint of fatigue appeared on everyone's faces.
Because you must maintain a high level of attention when walking here, otherwise if you accidentally fall down the stairs, you will end up being broken into pieces.
Even Dora and Lance are the same. Although they have magic carpets, the area covered by the suspended stairs is even more serious than the sword forest. In this case, how much role the magic carpet can play is itself a very suspicious thing.
So they have to be very careful, which directly leads to a double physical and mental consumption. An hour of climbing is enough to make these wizards feel tired.
“How far have we gone?”
At this moment, Lance's voice suddenly rang.
For the safety of the team, he was the first to walk, followed by Landry, then Valerie, Sacra, and finally Dora.
The five people kept a distance of about five or six steps, after all, it was dangerous to get too close to such places.
Seeing that Lance stopped, the other four seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and stood there to rest.
Sacra calmly replied: "We have walked 1,942 steps. About an hour and five minutes."
Lance shrugged. He had never calculated this aspect, and the wizard was quite careful.
The other three showed a confused look. Valerie also complained:
"Why does this suspended staircase seem to be endless?"
The rest of the people nodded in a deep sense of the same feeling.
At this moment, they were in the center of the canyon. Looking up, the floating stone stairs continued to rotate and rise, and there was no end to see; looking down, they could only see small black dots rotating downwards, and they could not even see the ground.
"It's a little bit wrong," Lance pondered, "If we really walked so many steps, we should have reached the top of the mountain early."
"Is there something wrong with this pumice staircase?"
Dora couldn't help asking.
Everyone's faces showed doubt. They looked up at the spiraling stone staircase, and frowned.
"It seems that it's OK. The stone staircase is indeed upward." Landry said in confusion: "I didn't notice anything like illusion."
"If you have any problems, just try it."
Lance thought for a while and said to the four people: "You stand in place and never move. Don't make a sound no matter what happens, do you understand?"
Although the four of them were puzzled and didn't know what Lance wanted to do, they still nodded.
Lance immediately raised his spirits and climbed up the stone stairs alone.
The other four people stared at Lance's back and watched him move up step by step.
There was no problem at first. In the eyes of the four, Lance was constantly moving up the stone stairs, but he walked forward for a while, and everyone suddenly realized that Lance was actually walking down step by step!
Because of Lance's previous explanation, they did not speak to remind Lance, but just watched this scene quietly.
Lance himself did not look at the side, but was just looking forward. After walking around, he looked up and found that Dora was standing in front of him, looking at him with a strange look on his face.
"What's going on? Why are we obviously moving upwards, but we're going downwards step by step?" Valerie asked in confusion.
Lance thought, "I almost understand that the suspended structure of these stone stairs will make people feel that they are always going up; but in fact, in a circle, there is a road that goes down."
"Is this witchcraft? We have to find a way to crack it." Dora said anxiously.
"It's not considered witchcraft, it's considered a mechanism at most."
Lance thought for a while, suddenly lay down on the stone stairs and stretched out his head.
Hawkeye opened and swept all the stone stairs in this circle, and immediately made some achievements.
I saw a thin red line engraved on the edge of a puffing stone staircase opposite. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
