Chapter 455: Entering the interior of the tower on the mountain
Translator: 549690339
As he was in the dark World, Tang Zhen immediately turned his gaze towards the Super mountain peak in front of him.
The scene that appeared in front of him now was like a giant perspective map made up of dots and lines, mixed with countless runes that were constantly rotating.
During this period of time, Tang Zhen had searched through the books in an attempt to study this strange rune. Unfortunately, he did not gain much.
The biggest reason was that there was too little relevant information, and many questions could not be answered.
In the application store, there were actually related applications downloaded, but they were only the beginner version and were at best considered entry-level knowledge.
The rune knowledge application that was one level higher was displayed as unable to be purchased. Tang Zhen was also helpless in this regard.
Tang Zhen did not feel too conflicted about such a situation. After all, he was not in urgent need of such rune knowledge. Everything would be fine as long as he let nature take its course.
At the very least, when the current Tang Zhen saw these symbols, he would no longer be at a loss like before. Instead, he could vaguely make out some clues.
He first tried to walk to the foot of the mountain, and at the same time, he deliberately touched the crisscrossing energy filaments.
Sure enough, when those energy threads were touched by Tang Zhen, the runes around him immediately began to flash. A rune suddenly appeared under his feet and sent him back to his original spot.
From this, Tang Zhen could confirm that even if he was in the dark World, he would still be unable to avoid these things.
With an answer in mind, he carefully stepped into the lines to avoid triggering the runic magic circle inside if he touched them.
The reason why the previous cultivators had never been able to reach the foot of the mountain was because they had touched these lines that covered the ground and the air. That was why they had been constantly transported back to their original place and had never been able to reach the foot of the mountain.
However, after using the fluorescent powder, these energy lines were revealed. He believed that the cultivators could easily avoid them and successfully reach the foot of the mountain.
After using a very awkward posture to avoid a thin energy thread that was placed horizontally across his waist, Tang Zhen suddenly leaped forward and directly advanced a distance of over ten meters.
Immediately after, Tang Zhen moved horizontally for over ten meters, avoiding the tightly packed energy threads in front of him and wormed his way through a gap.
Just like that, Tang Zhen advanced another four to five meters.
At this moment, the distance between the foot of the mountain and Tang Zhen was only slightly over ten meters. However, the energy filaments here had also become increasingly dense.
He took a deep breath and his movements became gentler. Every posture was very strange to prevent the runic magic circle from being activated.
After spending five to six minutes, Tang Zhen finally passed through these thin threads and successfully arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Tang Zhen’s hands moved quickly as he looked at the protective barrier formed by the light dots in front of him. He began to continuously destroy and dig out the light dots.
Following Tang Zhen’s attack, those originally orderly light dots immediately became chaotic. The area where he was attacking also became increasingly thinner.
Although there were light spots continuously replenishing this area, they simply could not catch up to the speed of Tang Zhen’s destruction.
A hole the size of a human head began to appear. Then, it was continuously torn apart by Tang Zhen. Soon, it reached a point where it could allow him to enter.
How could Tang Zhen still hesitate when he saw this? he immediately leaped in.
When he stood firm and saw the scene in front of him, he was shocked.
The scene that appeared in front of his eyes was completely different from what he saw outside. Only then did Tang Zhen realize that the protective barrier not only had the effect of preventing attacks, but it also had the effect of creating illusions!
From the outside, it looked like a blank super mountain covered in clouds and mist. In fact, there were huge broken buildings everywhere on the surface, as well as terrifying monsters wandering in the ruins of the mountain!
With just a cursory glance, Tang Zhen was able to see over ten types of monsters. The lowest cultivation was also at rank 5!
The monster closest to Tang Zhen was a humanoid monster that was wearing a long robe and holding a strange giant sword in his hand.
However, the monster’s appearance was truly disgusting.
It was about 1.9 meters tall and had a very strong body. The muscles exposed in the torn clothes were extremely developed.
However, half of his face had turned into a skeleton, and a strange insect drooped down from his eye sockets, holding his eyeball in its mouth.
The other half of his face was covered with wriggling tentacles, which looked extremely strange.
Other than its strange face, there were two rows of curved bone spikes on its back, which grew longer and longer starting from its waist.
On these bone spikes, there were countless broken talismans of various colors that were constantly swaying in the wind.
Although this monster’s strength was only at Level 5, Tang Zhen had a feeling that this fellow was probably even more difficult to deal with than a Lord-tier monster!
The talismans hanging on the bone spikes on the monster’s back seemed to contain some kind of energy that could burst out at any time.
In order to avoid attracting the attention of other monsters when he killed this monster, which would delay his exploration work, Tang Zhen did not directly attack. Instead, he avoided the monsters and carefully moved forward.
Tang Zhen arrived in front of a dilapidated Hall after he bypassed dozens of armored zombie-like monsters.
The hall was more than 20 meters high, and there were many broken rocks and branches piled up at the entrance. A few monsters with stooped bodies and metal claws were wandering on the steps.
After estimating the time he could stay in the dark World, Tang Zhen quickly rushed up and directly entered the hall.
After entering, Tang Zhen discovered that there was a huge eight-armed god statue enshrined inside the hall. The entire body was made of a kind of black jade and emitted a warm luster.
A few humanoid monsters in strange robes were sitting cross-legged in the hall. A long sword was placed on their legs, and their bodies were covered in thick dust.
Judging from their auras, these monsters should be at the Lord-tier.
Tang Zhen glanced around and discovered that there were a few items that emitted energy fluctuations on the table in front of the God statue.
The first thing that entered Tang Zhen’s eyes was a stack of multi-colored talismans. They contained energy fluctuations and seemed to be very extraordinary!
Beside the talisman was a pile of white jade tokens, which were exactly the same as the one the foreign cultivator had gotten.
In addition to these two items, there was a box of incense-like things on the table, as well as an ancient-looking book.
These four items were definitely not ordinary. Tang Zhen would definitely not let them go.
Tang Zhen quickly rushed to the front of the offering table. With a wave of his hand, he pulled all four items into the dark World and kept them in his storage space.
The moment the items disappeared, the monsters that were covered in dust suddenly opened their blood-red eyes.
“BOOM!”
An astonishing aura soared from the bodies of these monsters, causing dust to fly in the entire Hall. These monsters continued to search in the dust in an attempt to find Tang Zhen who had stolen the item.
A strange language reverberated in the hall, shaking the dust off the beams.
When the monsters wandering outside heard the noise in the hall, they immediately became manic. They cried out while searching the foot of the mountain.
However, they were destined to waste their energy. This was because Tang Zhen had already swiftly rushed toward the foot of the mountain after obtaining the four items.
He didn’t have much time in the dark World, so he had to leave as soon as possible.
His hands continuously attacked the protective barrier. When he could pass through it, Tang Zhen suddenly jumped out!
