Rent Affair

Chapter 65 Palace Center
"The sand puppet said that this is not the fifth floor, so what is the fifth floor? Could it be that it is just a gatekeeper guarding the entrance of the fifth floor. If so, what is the fifth floor?"

The scene just now left me with lingering fears. The palace has eleven floors. I don't believe that my luck will always be so good.Could it be that it is destined that I will not see Xiaoying, and I will not be able to repay the debt owed in my previous life in this life.

When I got to the end of the stairs, I was stunned and almost cursed.

There is a huge space in front of it, very spacious, more than double the size of the space below.There are beams on the head.There are also various small stones, densely packed.It doesn't really matter, after all, I've seen this once since I got here.What drives me crazy is that there are a row of sand puppets hanging on the brackets of each beam above the head.Densely packed, no less than a hundred.As I entered the space, all sand puppets opened their eyes and stared at me.

I got chills watching it, thinking of all the swear words I could think of.With the number of these sand puppets, I will be squeezed to death by the quicksand with the previous method, and there is no chance of winning.

"Time cannot be defeated, time cannot be reversed, time cannot be speeded up or slowed down. Time is everything." All the sand puppets above their heads opened their mouths.The voices are different, some are gentle, some are vulgar, some are loud, some are hoarse... If there are so many similar people talking, it must be noisy and chaotic, like a noisy market.All the voices of these sand puppets are incomparably neat, and they all sound on the same tune, overlapping each other.Although hundreds of Sand Puppets spoke, it seemed as if a person was muttering in front of him.

There was a sound in my mind, and there was a sense of oppression standing at the gate of time, which I couldn't resist.

"You don't want to defeat me." I opened my mouth and roared, and my true energy rushed out of my body, sweeping away everything!
"Bang bang bang..."

In the next second, a row of sand puppets in front of them fell first, then landed on the ground one after another, their legs slightly bent, and then stood up again, like robots after training.They rushed towards me at full speed, with great momentum.This battle was too big, I didn't dare to take advantage of it, so I turned around and fled.Although the sand puppet is amazing, its speed is slower than mine after all.We chased and fled, and soon after, I returned to the entrance of the lower corridor.

"No, I can't go back like this." A flash of thought flashed in my mind, and my steps stopped abruptly. My feet borrowed strength from the wooden pillar in front of me, and my body suddenly flew backwards.

This time, I channeled all my true energy to [-]%, and used it all to display body skills, without even the slightest bit of defense.Flying upside down like this, I'm like an arrow just off the string.The speed is as fast as lightning, and it is almost impossible to see with the naked eye.

The sand puppets behind me were caught off guard, and when Qiqi reacted, I had already flown over their heads.

"Chase."

The sand puppets looked at each other, most of the black sand suddenly piled up, some flew up, some flowed, and some ran towards me, the scene was spectacular.

I flew backwards in front of me, and all the sand puppets on the beam above my head, like machines on a production line, fell one by one, one after another, and stood on the corridor together, murderous.

These sand puppets ran together, chasing and killing me.The pace is unified, and the group is chilling, like the most elite soldiers in the world.

"Kill... kill... kill kill kill..."

Hundreds of sand puppets shouted loudly, their voices were deafening, echoing layer upon layer in the space.

The next moment, hundreds of sand puppets waved their hands, and suddenly a spear appeared in their palms.It was dark before my eyes, and a black cloud floated over, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

I was terrified in my heart, I had just exhausted all my strength at this moment, my toes touched the ground, and I flew forward again with a fast speed.

"Thump, thump, thump..." The spears, which were not strong enough, fell one after another, and there were neat and clear sounds behind them, spreading forward quickly, like a long road.

"The door is near." I ran for more than a hundred meters, and a huge door appeared at the end of the corridor, so I accelerated my speed.I ran to the door and almost collapsed. There was a big lock on the door, a lock several meters in size, with ancient carvings on it.

"This is an ancient lock."

I have seen many locks during my work, but I can't open this kind of ancient lock at all, because the whole Chinese society has lost too many ancient things.When I saw this lock for the first time, I knew that there were very few people in China who could open this lock.

Behind him, the rainy spears came down quickly from far to near, just like the scene of racing with it when the rainstorm came, which was beautiful and spectacular, but I still suppressed a little excitement in my heart.

The spears were inserted into the ground one after another, densely packed, and countless wooden stakes grew out of thin air.

"Give it a try, death is hard after all." I still wanted to struggle a little bit, and with my true energy raised to [-]%, I blasted towards the big lock.

"boom……"

That ancient lock was extremely hard, I hit it with all my strength, but it didn't work, the ancient lock didn't move at all.

I gritted my teeth and punched again.The punch just now was ineffective, and my subconscious mind had actually given up.But when the fist landed on it, there was a 'click' in the ears, and the ancient lock broke.With a snap, it fell in front of me, almost hitting my foot.

At this moment, the spear behind him was less than ten meters away from him.

"Open the door!"

I rushed forward, knocked open the door, and rushed in!The moment the gate was closed, there was a dense sound of spears piercing through the gate behind him, sputtering, crackling, crisp and crisp!
I let out a long breath, and when I looked up, I was stunned again.

Ahead is a huge space, like a hole.The light width is about [-] meters.Above and below, I don't know how high it is.Surrounded by thick stone walls, each boulder is carved with strange patterns.

It looks like some kind of strange beast, it also looks like an ancient painting, and it also looks like a sacrificial oration from the ancient times!Every carving shows a strange scene.The animal-like image is alive and preying, and the picturesque display shows the beautiful scenery.Like the sacrificial oration, there is an obscure chant!
I don't know any of these sculptures, and I don't even have much concept.The knowledge and heritage of the ancients is always awe-inspiring.The carvings on these stone walls are all handmade.

When I saw it for the first time, I could be sure of that.But I also know that these cannot be artificially created.First of all, there are not so many craftsmen with ancient skills in contemporary China. Furthermore, Xiaoying has occupied n City for less than a year. It is impossible for human craftsmen to build such a heaven-defying thing, and it is absolutely impossible in terms of time!
In this way, there is only one possibility left.

"Is it an illusion?" I thought, and when I took a closer look, I found that there were winding, criss-crossing stairs around the huge space.Every tens of meters, there is a platform, which is exactly the same as the platform I am standing on.

Counting up, there are eleven in total.

"Could it be that this is the center of the palace built by Xiaoying?" I had this idea, and I felt like this in my heart, but I couldn't understand it. The backbone of the palace. The center of the palace is empty."

I was still thinking, but the next second, I was very surprised again.Because, on the wall platform with four hundred and eight directions in the space, there are actually many people standing.Even on the stone wall, there are still many people crawling upwards, using both limbs and climbing hard!
Densely packed, like ants.

"who?"

I kept looking up, and suddenly felt something crawling towards me from below.Looking down, I found a person crawling to my feet and still climbing up.I was a little surprised at first, and I almost jumped up in fright.Because it's an evil spirit.

Subconsciously, it is to beat it to ashes.But the man just crawled upwards, without any malice.I stopped, and the man just climbed up in front of me, using all fours.It seems that because of crawling for too long, the palms and soles of the hands and feet are ground with blood.And the clothes leaning against the wall have been worn out.

The evil spirit just climbed up in front of me.

Every movement of her seemed to be repeated thousands of times, and seemed to slow down, allowing me to see clearly.

I saw his movements clearly, his body, and even his delicate chest.Yes, it was a woman, and a good-looking one at that.Before she was alive, she must have been a beautiful woman, and there were many men pursuing her.But she's dead, seems to have died while climbing, and ended up as a demon.

After a while, someone stumbled and fell down.Then, more people stumbled and fell down together.For a moment, the entire space was filled with evil beings falling down, just like the gun rain before.Only this time it's the body.The falling evil spirits fell down without making any sound, because their bodies were not entities.And the few that did not fall continued to climb up.

This cycle goes on and on, endlessly.

"Alas, hell."

I don't know how these evil spirits came about, but the word popped into my head.The next second, I suddenly saw that there seemed to be many other people on the platform.Those people are flying upwards.

"This is……

I feel incomprehensible, I feel at a loss, and it seems that I have always felt this way since I entered this palace.The stairs are very narrow, separated by two levels, and broken.Those people are scrambling to fly upwards, and it is inevitable that there will be fights over the problem of landing.In the beginning, only a few people were fighting, but it didn't take long for a single spark to burn into a prairie fire.

Everywhere on the wall, lights flickered, and the sound of shouting and fighting could be heard everywhere.

"what……"

One of them is weaker, and he hits a hole in the opponent, and his body falls until he disappears.

"There seems to be something wrong." I always feel that this place is weird, but I can't tell what is weird.

"Hey, boy, you are unlucky to meet me." I was thinking, when a sneer suddenly came from the end of the ladder below.

When I came back to my senses, I saw a young man flying up with a sword in his hand.In a moment, the silver sword in the boy's hand was shining brightly, majestic and menacing.

"Ugh……"

Shaking my head helplessly, seeing the young man attacking, I saw it accurately, so I raised my foot and kicked it out.

Unbiased, this kick hit the boy on the cheek.

Amidst the screams of the young man, with a pool of saliva, he fell into the hollow.

Both are human beings, both in the palace, I didn't want to get rid of him at first.But this young man's attack was too ruthless, and judging from what he said before the attack, he did not attack me because he misunderstood that I was the big monster here.

In this way, this young man still intends to kill me. I am not a Bodhisattva, and I don't have his heart, so I have to strike first.

"This kid is amazing."

My kick stunned the people below who were about to come up to attack.
