Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 160
Chapter 160: Rushing Up the Tower
The Great Ancestor was very afraid of Wei Huo. He knew that he was not his match. He thus told all the Nagas, “Don’t panic. This person did not kill the innocent. He might not be a ferocious person.”
Wei Huo took a step forward and suppressed the Great Ancestor with strong pressure. He then asked, “Who is the peerless savage you are talking about?”
Wei Huo’s pressure was really strong. The Great Ancestor did not dare resist it. He ordered the other Naga to retreat and opened the tower’s gate. The mural was stripped off and flew out of the tower to appear in front of Wei Huo.
Wei Huo looked at it speechlessly. Was this a child’s scrawl?
He saw a matchstick man with a head, a body, and four limbs. The matchstick man chased after the Naga and killed them. The drawings were simple. There was a circle on the mural, and there were two hands on it. Below it was a wavy line that represented the Naga’s tail.
It was a nice painting. It was supposed to show the cruelty of a savage, but this was depicted through matchstick men. The atmosphere was ruined.
Wei Huo was speechless. The Naga had mistaken him for a ferocious man because he had two legs?
“Are there any more detailed murals?” Wei Huo asked.
If one used a matchstick man to depict a savage, all humans would be mistaken.
The Great Ancestor was stunned. He seemed like he wanted to say, Is this mural not clear? He had painted it himself!
Wei Huo shouted, “Describe the savage’s appearance. Is he male or female? Is his hair long or short? What kind of weapon is used?”
The Great Ancestor came to a realization. He extended his hand and wiped away the contents of the mural. A moment later, a matchstick man appeared on the mural. However, the matchstick man had a few long hairs and two circles on his chest. He was holding a huge bow in his hand.
The group of Naga congratulated him loudly. “Congratulations on improving your drawing skills, Great Ancestor!”
Wei Huo was speechless. How could this be called art? Who could not draw a child’s scrawl?
Wei Huo took a closer look at the mural and realized that the savage who had slaughtered them was a woman. Her choice of weapon was a huge bow.
The Great Ancestor said, “This savage was at the half-legendary realm back then. She held a seven-colored bow in her hand and could shoot seven arrows of different colors. Every arrow had a different effect. The red flame arrow could trigger a huge fire, and the blue one was a frost arrow that could freeze anything. The golden one was a steel arrow that could destroy anything. It could even shoot an Epic-ranked creature to death. The purple one was a poisonous arrow that could kill anyone who touched it!”
Wei Huo did not believe it. He felt that the Naga’s imagination was very wild. They were just like the monkeys. After hundreds of years, everything had changed in their minds.
The Great Ancestor was very cautious while facing Wei Huo. “Is this savage a member of your kind?” he asked cautiously.
Wei Huo shook his head. “I don’t think so…”
He flew dozens of meters in the air and received a system notification. “Spotted Instance Dungeon: Magic Tower. Includes a total of 60 levels. The higher the level, the more handsome the reward will be. You can enter it once a month.”
Wei Huo was a little surprised. The Magic Tower was actually a dungeon. The higher the level, the better the reward. Why did it seem like a tower-clearing game?
Wei Huo asked, “Where did you get this tower?”
The Great Ancestor dared not ignore Wei Huo. Wei Huo was at the Legendary Realm after all. He knew how powerful the Legendary Realm was. “I obtained this tower over 100 years ago. I accidentally found it in a valley while I was migrating. At the time, the tower could be held in one palm. However, as time passed, it became larger and larger. I could not hold it back, so I had to leave it here.”
Wei Huo was a little surprised. What kind of equipment was a Magic Tower that could grow continuously?
The Great Ancestor added, “There are all sorts of monsters and traps inside this tower. The younger generation often rushes through the tower to increase their cultivation. I also cultivate in the tower, but I’ve barely passed Level 56.”
Wei Huo was interested. “Let me try!” he said.
The Naga were shocked. It was said that one could obtain control of the tower as long as one cleared it. If one could control such a huge tower, it would be a supreme weapon regardless of whether it was used to smash people or imprison them!
Wei Huo thought that this thing was similar to the Exquisite Pagoda of Heavenly King Li. If he could shrink and expand such a huge tower with ease, he could throw it out and kill a large group of people.
Wei Huo asked System Number Two about this.
System Number Two was left a little speechless before it said, “You’re overthinking it. This is a building, but if you can clear it, you will really obtain a nine-story Ruyi Pagoda. You can’t smash people with it, but it’s not a simple treasure. It can be used to store others!”
Wei Huo nodded. That’s not bad. I can go in once a month. I’ll stay here longer and farm more Ruyi Pagodas.
Wei Huo was about to charge into the tower when the Naga crowd was shocked. The Great Ancestor frowned but did not dare to stop him. This was an existence stronger than a peerless savage. If he was angered, the Naga crowd would not meet a good end.
“I am not lucky!” The Great Ancestor sighed.
He was worried that the pagoda would be taken away, but in reality, it was a building equivalent to a sticker in the game. It was useless.
Wei Huo suddenly thought of a new update: Race Providence.
It was said that if a race’s population suddenly decreased, Race Providence would be triggered. The entire race’s providence would be augmented on a creature’s body. That creature would be lucky, and their strength would continue to increase, constantly helping them obtain treasures.
However, after so many years, the Naga continued to reproduce. The Great Ancestor had also grown into a half-Legendary creature. His luck was probably almost used up.
That was why he had been summoned here. If he did not deal with Wei Huo properly, he would be killed.
The 500-year time halt was a calamity for mankind. After surviving a meteoric rise, one would soar into the sky. If one could not survive this, one would be exterminated and would disappear in the long river of history just like Ancient Babylon, Atlantis, and the Mayans.
Wei Huo entered the steeple and got ready to charge into the tower. However, there were only three Goblins on the first floor. The three Goblins rushed toward Wei Huo, but Wei Huo glared at them. Two of them were instantly turned into ashes, while Wei Huo lifted the last one.
After closer inspection, Wei Huo killed the last Goblin. He did not obtain anything other than three weak Nirvana Qi.
Wei Huo’s domain determined that there was only one path he could take: the Nirvana Killing Dao. The more he killed, the stronger he would become.
The group of Nagas was confused when they saw Wei Huo rushing into the steeple. They were very confused. Why had a Legendary creature been delayed for so long?
A Naga asked a particularly strong Naga beside him, “How long did it take you to cross the first floor?”
The Naga said, “A few seconds, but I was stuck at Level 35.”
The Naga looked at the steeple. The light on the first level had been turned on for three seconds, but a moment later, the lights on the second, third, and fourth levels lit up one after another. After 10 seconds, the lights reached the 50th level.
All the Naga gasped.
“Is this a Legendary creature?”
