Almighty Alchemist

Chapter 22: The Tower of Death (Part 1)

One step in, you enter a whole new world.

The steps shining with silver light are like the surface of a lake, stepping on them will bring out a series of ripples. The reason for this is entirely because it is made of silicon crystal, the rarest metal in the world.

Silicon crystal is the best alchemy material in the world. It has a wide range of applications, whether it is making golems, props, or magic circles. It is the guarantee of the power of alchemy, the guarantee of stability, and the favorite of every alchemist. Even in Purgatory Island, the silicon crystals it had back then were no more than the size of a fist. And here, Electra used it to make steps into her lab.

It was too late to be shocked by this huge handwriting, Xiu Yi walked up the steps carefully step by step, and looked around cautiously.

He noticed that not only the steps, but also the surrounding walls and ceiling were made of silicon.

But these are nothing, the important thing is that there are white skeletons scattered everywhere on the steps of the tower.

Some of these white bones were black in color, some were fragmented, and some of the bones were still stuck with thin black arrows.

There was no doubt that these were the bones of the intruder.

Xiu Yi is almost certain that there must be all kinds of vicious traps behind these silicon crystal walls. He even saw a skeleton whose finger bones were still fixed in the cracks in the wall. I'm afraid that some alchemist saw the money and wanted to pry the silicon crystal off the wall. As a result, the poisonous arrow behind the wall shot directly through the eye socket, and at the same time embedded his fingers in the wall. It also allowed Xiu Yi to clearly see that the stuck poisonous arrow nozzle was still emitting a faint blue light.

With the lessons learned from the past, Xiu Yi did not touch these silicon crystals.

What interested him was that the people who came to break into the tower left some relics after their death. Most of these relics are stored in their carry-on bags.

Huey picked up one casually, and inside it was a large handful of Kingwitt. Pour out the coins, there is also a small black leather book, some potions and some alchemy props.

The small black book records the dead alchemist's personal understanding of alchemy, and often also records some of his own unique inventions.

There are not a few skins like this. Many alchemists are used to recording their understanding and inventions of alchemy in a small notebook, sometimes with some special inventions.

The alchemist whose head was pierced by a poisonous arrow also had such a skin. He was obviously an authority on potion research during his lifetime. There were several special medicines recorded in his little book, which aroused Xiu Yi's interest.

In addition, there is an alchemist who actually carries alchemy props such as sacrificial oil. Surprisingly, it perfectly solves the instability problem of Oil of Immolation, making it a powerful weapon that can be used at any time without being carefully crafted and must be used within a fixed period of time.

This is simply a great invention, but it is a pity that this invention, along with the inventor, was lost in the tower of the pursuit of the highest mystery of alchemy.

This made Xiu Yi extremely excited. He quickly collected the writings and finished props of these dead alchemists. Every alchemist who dares to break into the tower is an alchemist with outstanding talents. They each have their own unique understanding and unique inventions in alchemy. From this point of view, countless alchemists died here for hundreds of years, turning this place into a huge treasury of alchemists' legacy. Even without the inventions left behind by Electra, these legacies alone would be enough for Huey to return with a rewarding experience.

The road leading to the top of the tower is not long, but every step is almost full of corpses, including fragments of puppets. Some puppets were so exquisitely made that even Xiuyi hadn't seen them. Xiu Yi also collected them carefully.

For those with records, Xiuyi can learn directly, and for those without records, Xiuyi can only analyze and study through the finished product.

The fanatical pursuit of knowledge is the source of every alchemist's progress. Only by not letting go of any possibility of self-improvement can one quickly become stronger.

Judging from these corpses, the road to the top of the tower is indeed murderous. Even though Xiuyi has closed the main organ hub, he doesn't guarantee whether there is anything that cannot be closed.

really……

"Roar!" A deep roar moved the tower, with a dull echo.

Xiuyi immediately turned her head: "Be careful, Electra's guardian monster may still be able to function. It will not let us come and go freely after closing the mechanism. Properly testing force while testing intelligence is also Electra's hobby."

Through the previous understanding of Electra's work habits, Xiuyi already had enough understanding of this legendary great alchemist.

At the corner of the stairs, a misty black shadow appeared, with a majestic and powerful momentum.

It was a four-winged tusk-toothed beast, an eleventh-level monster.

Xiu Yi was not surprised by this, Electra had already given everyone a silent hint, telling everyone who came in what they would face.

The four-winged tusk-toothed beast is one of the most terrifying monsters in the world. They possess great strength, and their sharp claws can tear through all barriers. At the same time, they can fly into the air because of their two pairs of powerful wings. They are wind-type magical beasts, capable of releasing wind-type spells, and they are powerful and fierce.

Xiu Yi didn't expect the four-winged brunet to let him pass. The resentment trapped in the tower for hundreds of years was enough to make it want to kill everyone who entered the tower. Unless there is an existence like the dragon Rita that can communicate, the only way for Xiu Yi to pass this level is to kill the other party.

But for Xiu Yi, it was no longer so difficult to kill the four-winged brunet.

His strength has already advanced by leaps and bounds, not to mention himself, just the black warrior around him is enough to solve everything.

But when he thought that the other party was a wind-type monster, Xiu Yi suddenly wanted to know what kind of effect the advanced wind-type spells could exert. He wanted to see what the result would be if it was used in the hands of Warcraft.

He turned his head and said to the black warrior and Xu, "You guys watch from the sidelines, unless I really don't have enough support, you don't need to come up to help me. I will use my own strength to solve the opponent as much as possible."

Xu turned into a little boy in a puff of green smoke. He looked at Xiu Yi seriously and said, "Dad, you'd better be careful, this guy won't be easier to deal with than that demon mouse."

"It won't be too difficult to deal with." Huey said with a smile, "For this tusk-toothed beast, the space here is too small. It has a huge body, so it can only use its own strength to fight. If you want to fight in the air, it is somewhat difficult. Electra has restricted the performance of this monster, which may be to reduce the difficulty on purpose."

With a shake of the long sword in his hand, Xiu Yi pointed at the monster: "Come on beast, I have already solved the biggest problem, you are just an inconspicuous stumbling block leading to the door of knowledge in Elektara."

"Roar!" The big guy roared angrily. Even though it couldn't speak, it already had enough wisdom to understand the meaning of the other party's words. Two pairs of wings flapped, and four sharp wind blades slashed towards Xiu Yi with a shriek in the air.

At the same time, in the air above Xiu Yi's head, the Wind Spirit had already appeared, hissing sharply, and the same four wind blades rushed towards him.

The fierce wind blade collided in the air, rippling out a wave of magic, like a wave of power, sweeping all directions.

Xiu Yi, who had strengthened the body of the wind spirit, swiped his hands: "Reverse cross shock wave!"

The two crossed mana waves slashed towards the four-winged violent tooth beast in a state of tearing everything apart.

"Roar!" The monster roared, and spit out a large ball of cyan light from its mouth, hitting Xiuyi's reverse cross shock wave head-on. With four wings spread out in succession, gusts of blue hurricanes swept towards Xiu Yi.

These cyan hurricanes formed small whirlwinds in the air and flew towards Xiu Yi, seemingly harmless, but Xiu Yi knew that once hit by any whirlwind, the consequences would be that Xiu Yi would be torn into pieces.

"A samurai's strong body is the best defense." Xiuyi silently recited the words Buckler gave him, and the fighting spirit on his body was shining brightly.

Facing the death trap of the wind, he rushed towards the violent tooth beast fearlessly.

Maybe it was a little impatient to fight with Xiu Yi, and the violent tooth beast also jumped up, setting off a huge wave around it, and at the same time, the boundless darkness flooded the entire battle area.

Inside the tower, wind and cloud filled the air, whistling sounds, and hurricanes swirling in the tower, but they did not affect the people outside the tower at all.

The darkness brought about by the gathering of wind elements swept the entire battle space, blurring the vision, only seeing the faint flickering of the sword light, and occasionally hearing the angry roar of the monster, like thunder bursts.

A sharp scream suddenly rose, it was Xiu Yi releasing the Guardian Nightmare in the Soul Devouring Ring to help in the battle.

After a long time, Xiu Yi suddenly fell out of the wind and dust, his whole body was covered with blood, but the long sword in his hand was gone, and there was a big bloody hole on his right shoulder.

The wind stopped, and the four-winged turbulent-toothed beast was lying on the silicon crystal floor, one of its wings was pierced by Xiu Yi's long sword, making it unable to jump up again.

Xiu Yi looked coldly at the four-winged beast, and let out a slight sigh: "An eleventh-level monster is about as powerful as a sky warrior. But unfortunately, monsters are monsters, and they don't have the combat skills of humans. Moreover, the four-winged beast is a wind-type beast, and its combat method requires a wide space. The power of wind magic lies in flexibility, assistance, and large-scale attacks. This makes the beast fight in the tower, and its strength is weakened to the point where it is only an ordinary tenth level. Injuries beat it."

Speaking of this, Xiu Yi looked at the wound on his right shoulder, and quickly took out a bottle of healing potion and drank it: "I didn't expect it to attach wind spells to its teeth and fly out. It has the effect of automatically finding enemies. When I stabbed it, I was also shot by it. Although monsters do not have human combat skills, they also have special attack methods and abilities. But anyway, attaching wind spells to specific objects can exert such effects..."

Xiu Yi smiled contentedly: "I will too in the future."

He looked back at Xu: "Let's go, let's continue up."

After passing the fourth floor of the tower, the number of corpses began to decrease significantly.

This means that the vast majority of alchemists fell on the road without even passing the level of the four-winged tusk beast.

But as long as you are an alchemist, there is always a way to pass the level.

Therefore, alchemists who can pass this level are stronger.

Next to a skeleton, there is a small jade bottle. From the above explanation, it can be seen that it is a potion that can make the beast sleepy. Huey didn't know how he died, but it was obviously not caused by the Ravtooth.

In the record book of another skeleton, the invention of the invisibility potion was recorded, which made Xiu Yi extremely excited.

It was conceivable that the higher the altitude, the stronger the alchemists would be, and the more valuable the legacy they left to Xiu Yi would be.
