On the Seven Towers

"That's it!" In the northwest corner of the warehouse, Xiao Chen finally found an entrance to the tunnel. Two guards holding spears guarded the opening. There was a triangular area under the two crossed spears, which was their chance.

"The opening between the two is big enough for us to get through." Xiao Chen estimated the distance between the two guards and said.

"The premise is that you don't go astray and I don't hook clothes." Luo Ling said.

"In this way, I will walk in front and you will follow behind. Everyone will move forward sideways. We would rather walk slowly to avoid that kind of trap again."

The two people came in front of the guards. Because there was no body to refer to in the field of vision, Xiao Chen gestured for a long time before finding an angle and carefully walked in.

Although they did not emit breath under the invisible spell, Xiao Chen still held his breath and moved in little by little. Seeing that he had crossed the two crossed spears and was about to pass the level successfully, Luo Ling, who was holding his hand behind him, did not move.

"What's going on?" Xiao Chen looked back, of course there was nothing behind him.

"My robe is still caught..." Luo Ling said.

"Where is it caught?"

Luo Ling touched it carefully, "The man on the left just raised his spear and changed his posture, and the spear pressed down a corner of my robe."

Xiao Chen looked carefully and found that the man's spear was slightly higher than the ground, and a small piece of cloth could be seen faintly below. Invisibility relies on the magic attached to the body and the surface of clothes. The end of the spear pressed on the robe, naturally squeezing out the magic on this small piece of cloth.

"Hurry up and think of a way. I'm squatting now."

"Cut it off?"

"No, it makes too much noise. And if the magic circle on the robe is cut, it will produce sparks and flashes."

Xiao Chen said: "Then I'll let him move later, and then you run quickly."

After that, he condensed his mental power into a thin thread, stretched it from the guard's collar, and probed to his back, and then began to scratch it gently.

But the guard twisted his body, and then Dou Qi ignited his body, which immediately bounced his spiritual power thread away.

"What's going on?" asked another guard.

"My back is itchy, and it's inconvenient to scratch it while wearing a breastplate. It feels better after using Dou Qi."

Is there such a thing? Xiao Chen was helpless.

Xiao Chen tickled his armpit again, and was also pushed away by Dou Qi. He tried the soles of his feet again, and the result was the same.

"Hey, this itch can still escape." The guard exerted force, and Dou Qi surged all over his body. He was actually a mid-level warrior.

"Why do you have so many problems today? Is there someone playing tricks?" Another guard looked around vigilantly, but did not find any clues.

Xiao Chen knew that if he continued like this, the other party would really get suspicious. He got ruthless and pulled the thin thread thinner and poked it into the guard's ear hole.

"Ouch!" The guard covered his ears and screamed, and the spear in his hand naturally fell. Luo Ling took the opportunity to jump forward and followed Xiao Chen into the entrance of the tunnel.

There were about twenty steps in the tunnel. The two went down all the way to the bottom, and then walked forward along a straight road.

"Sure enough, the tunnels here were dug temporarily." Xiao Chen touched the wall, which was very rough and had not been repaired. There were only some traces of soil solidification magic on it.

After walking about twenty meters, a doorway appeared in front of them. There were guards on both sides, but they stood very far away, allowing Xiao Chen and the others to run in easily.

In front of them was a hall of fifty meters square, which was flat and straight without any patterns. The height of the hall was only about two and a half meters, which seemed very low compared to its area, giving people a very depressing feeling.

This hall was obviously recently excavated. The construction workers hollowed out the middle part, leaving a circle of more than a dozen pillars around it, and then used solidification magic to turn the ceiling and pillars into hard stones, and then supported the wooden frame.

On the ground and ceiling between the pillars, there is a huge circular magic circle running. Their centers correspond to each other, but the directions of operation are opposite. The diameters are about 20 meters, just like two huge millstones turning. They emit purple light, making the cave look mysterious and strange. In the middle of the magic circle on the ground, there is a white platform the size of an operating table. This platform is different from the simple style of the entire space and looks very delicate and complex. It is covered with crystal nodes and silver magic patterns.

Xiao Chen found a place where no one was around, hid behind a pillar, and carefully observed the situation in the hall.

There was a wizard wearing a robe and hiding his face in his hood, who was controlling the magic circle. From time to time, he waved his hand to inject a section of energy into a node of the magic circle to keep the magic circle running stably. And beside him, there was a slightly fat old man who was concentrating on watching the magic circle run. Behind him, four guards in armor stood solemnly. In addition, there were more than a dozen guards outside the magic circle.

"This scene looks familiar." Xiao Chen poked his head out from behind the pillar and looked around.

"Have you seen such a magic circle? I see that this magic circle is absorbing the life energy overflowing from those people above." Luo Ling asked.

"No, look at that old man, isn't he very imposing? There is scrutiny in his eyes, arrogance in his posture, and even the guards behind him look arrogant. Does it feel like the boss of Party A coming to inspect Party B's company?"

"Are you saying that the old man commissioned the wizard to do these things?"

"Although this is a civilian area, to make such a big scene, it must require a powerful promoter. Do you think a wizard with unknown origins can handle such a thing? I don't believe it without the support of local dignitaries, and doesn't this old man look like it? And did you see that white platform? Those energies may be used on it in the end. The user is probably the old man."

"But I think this wizard is not simple either." Luo Ling said.

"What do you mean?"

"It feels like the energy collected from the crowd outside is too huge. Don't you think the white stone platform inside is too small compared to the two magic circles?"

"It's hard to say. Let's observe for a while." Xiao Chen said, "However, this magic circle is definitely not a good thing. Look at those characters. Aren't they 'life' and 'death'?"

"And 'spirit' and 'soul'."

At this time, the very powerful old man spoke, "Demian, how long will it take? The situation above is not good. Even Benegas has been dispatched. He can't guard this place impenetrably by himself."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. The charging is about to end." The mysterious wizard's voice was clear and sounded very young.

"Your Majesty? This old man is actually the king?" Xiao Chen and Luo Ling were both shocked by the word "Your Majesty".
