Go down the broken stairs.

An Jing's gaze passed through the light beams between the gaps, and wandered around the interior of the tower.

If the top floor where Tang Ruosheng and Commander Lu are located is a place for theoretical research, then the third and fourth floors of the tower should be the experimental area. As soon as An Jing walked down, he smelled a very strong smell of blood.

The layout of the tower's four floors is uncomplicated.

There are more than a dozen multi-storey wooden shelves placed against the wall, and bottles and cans are placed between the interlayers.

Further inward are several stone platforms similar to operating tables.

Fragments of various organs and dissecting knives are piled up on it, so that a large piece of suet has condensed on the edge area, which has a disgusting greasy luster under the sunlight.

However, the source of the bloody smell is not from these two places, or most of the bloody smell actually comes from the third floor.

An Jing walked over quickly and stood at the top of the stairs to take a look. When she saw the situation below, she couldn't help but frown.

I saw a large number of disembowelled beasts and sea monsters piled up on the third floor of the tower.

Mummies, carrion corpses, and fresh corpses that have just died.

If there is any similarity, it is that their viscera have been stripped out.

Presumably it is the source of the bottles and jars on the four-story wooden shelf and the organs on the stone platform.

The deer head monster is obviously still doing some research.

Reminiscent of the results of Tang Ruosheng's previous dissection of the deer head monster, An Jing has reason to suspect that the latter is looking for suitable organs to replace the organs in his body that are already on the verge of collapse, or to transform them into something similar to the one that is both human and human. Extraordinary organs with characteristics of elk.

Trying to make myself perfect in this way, to truly achieve immortality.

Thinking of this, An Jing's eyes could not help turning to the central area on the fourth floor of the tower.

In the middle of the wooden frame and stone platform filled with viscera stands a strangely shaped alchemy furnace.

The deer head monster had to refine An Jing into a living alchemy before, so it needed corresponding equipment to assist, and in the entire tower, this thing in front of him seemed to be used for alchemy rituals.

It is different from choosing wood and stone materials for building towers.

Judging from the appearance and color, this alchemy furnace is obviously made of bronze.

Normal alchemy furnaces are narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, in the shape of a vase, but this alchemy furnace is the opposite. The bottom is a bracket engraved with animal patterns, and the middle is a hollowed-out prayer flag hanging from it. The column, inside which can vaguely see a few mechanisms.

An Jing stood up, her eyes fell on the round table on top of the alchemy furnace.

Normally, the top of the alchemy furnace should be a cover, but the top of this alchemy furnace is more like a formation plate, engraved with a large number of mysterious inscriptions, and even looks like a Tai Chi diagram, with a semicircular groove on the left and right. two-phase symmetry
"yin and yang."

Touching the disc with the palm of his hand, An Jing whispered, thinking about the operation of this alchemy furnace.

Just at this moment, a small piece of sawdust suddenly fell from An Jing's head and hit the right corner of the alchemy furnace, making a crisp sound.

An Jing turned his head and glanced, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Immediately retracting his gaze, he continued to observe Yuanpan calmly, while his left hand hanging by his side quietly touched the hand crossbow at his waist.

on the ceiling.

A figure stretched its limbs and approached the corner on the right.

However, the moment it raised its arm, An Jing took a half step back, raised the hand crossbow, and pulled the trigger towards the shadow.

The crossbow shot out and hit the target immediately, but the expected scene of blood spattering did not appear.

An Jing looked up through the sunlight penetrating through the gaps in the walls of the tower.

The pupils shrank suddenly.

I thought it was a monster hiding in the dark.

At this time, what appeared in front of An Jing was a treant with thick limbs and wrinkled body.

This is a monster that the team has never encountered so far!

The crossbow pierced through its shoulders, and only sawdust was brought out, and when it was discovered, it no longer hid, and rushed to the wall on the side of the tower with all fours, leaving An Jing's back with a little panic.

The behavior of this guy's escape undoubtedly exposed the fact that it possesses intelligence.

If it were any other monster, it would have come up like a stunned young man and desperately.

An Jing, who realized the special nature of the tree man, would not let it go, and stepped forward with a knife to intercept it, but the tree man relied on his "long legs" to rush to the wall in three steps at a time, with his arms wide open. The crossbar bumped straight across his chest.

The tower was in disrepair for a long time, and the walls were made of wood and stone, so it couldn't bear the impact of the tree man, and the gap was forcibly broken.

The tree man leaped out facing the sun, and An Jing, who followed closely behind, finally saw its true appearance.

The treant, who was nearly [-] meters tall, was different from what An Jing had imagined. Its limbs were very similar to humans, and its chest was not a simple wooden stake, but a human skeleton, but it was not bones but wood.

Seeing the tree man jumping down from a height of more than ten meters, An Jing looked at the height, gritted his teeth and jumped out, and at the same time shouted loudly to the people under the tower,

"Stop it! Don't let it escape!"

The rest of the team are now guarding under the tower because of Commander Lu's order.

The tree man jumped off the building just above their heads.

Although they were surprised by the tree man who suddenly rushed out of the tower, Nangong Lian and the others reacted quickly, and tried their best to suppress the tree man as long as it landed on the ground.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that the tree man stretched out his arms in mid-air, and then there were vines on the arms that directly connected to the high tree branches, and flew out directly like swinging on a swing.

This time, An Jing, who was also flying in mid-air, was taken aback. Seeing the tree man swinging directly to a high place, he had to try to knock it down with a hand crossbow, but it failed as expected.

"Catch up, fast, stop it!"

The moment he landed, An Jing greeted the nearby people again, resisting the soreness of his legs and rushed to the nearest tree.

Intuition told An Jing that the treant who appeared in the tower was very special, and that he probably held the key clue to the elixir. If he missed this opportunity, he would have to spend a lot of effort to catch it.

Seeing An Jing's anxious face, Nangong Lian and the others realized the importance of cultivating people, and hurried forward.

But just as they were about to rush up to the canopy and continue chasing the treants, the swamp around the tower suddenly surged like boiling hot water, and the sharp whistling sound filled the entire swamp area in an instant.

Several centipedes with dozens of human hands rushed out of the swamp near the center of the tower, crazily flying towards An Jing and the others, and a toad monster poked its head out of the swamp a little further away. Mud bombs were spewed out one after another, hindering their actions.

The momentum of the pursuit was forcibly interrupted.

Facing the surrounding monsters, the safety of the tower suddenly became precarious.
