As the third floor of the Seven Star Tower lit up, the voice continued to announce...
"The number of people entering the Seven Star Tower has increased to one hundred and sixty."
While Yue Qi and his group spent almost half a day inside the tower, the adventurers waiting outside had only had a minute or two pass. Moreover, every minute, a layer of bronze lamps was lit up.
The number of people on the first floor of the Seven Star Tower suddenly surged to eighty. With such a large number of people, they inevitably ended up meeting.
One fierce battle after another between the teams is unfolding.
The third floor of the Seven Star Tower.
As soon as Yue Qi and the others stepped out of the passage, they felt a bone-chilling cold; surprisingly, the place was brightly lit.
The entire third floor of the Seven Star Tower was just an empty hall, with nothing but bare load-bearing pillars. If it weren't for the barrier still existing leading to the fourth floor, they would have thought it was just a rest area.
Apart from the biting cold, there was nothing that could be found to cause the cold.
"I sense a powerful force here," the old man suddenly spoke, reminding everyone, "Everyone, be on high alert."
Where they were standing, not far in front of them, there was a red line drawn conspicuously on the ground, which looked very similar to the zebra crossing on the road, only the color was excessively bright red.
As soon as they stepped across the red line, everyone instantly fell to the ground.
"Holy crap, this is a gravity space!" Someone immediately realized that the huge area inside the red line was being compressed by this invisible gravity.
Fortunately, all of them were superhumans, and each of them released their superpowers to enhance their bodies, which allowed them to withstand the attack to some extent.
“However, the gravity here should gradually increase.” Yue Qi could guess without even thinking. If the third level of the Seven Star Tower could be passed so easily, would it still be called the Seven Star Tower?
He took another step forward, and sure enough, the force of gravity on his body increased. After a few more steps, he could barely stay standing and could no longer move forward.
When the people behind him saw that even the most powerful Yue Qi had been stopped, some of them immediately started to back down.
"No, I'm not going, I want to go back!" A petite girl was the first to raise her hand and give up, turning around to walk back the way she came.
The next moment, before she could even make a sound, she exploded on the spot, blood and flesh flying everywhere, splattering everyone.
"ah--!!!!"
Wen Jiajia's screams echoed throughout the third floor. The incident happened so suddenly; a living person was blown into a pile of minced meat. She simply couldn't accept it.
Yue Qi wiped the blood from his face and looked at the pensive old man.
"Could it be that this place is a place of no return?"
At this moment, the red line on the ground became particularly glaring.
The old man also seemed somewhat helpless. "In this case, we have no choice but to grit our teeth and move forward. But the gravity ahead is getting stronger and stronger, and sooner or later our bodies will not be able to take it. This Seven Star Tower is clearly not going to give us a way out."
His words were met with agreement, and someone quick-witted immediately offered a suggestion.
"What if we stay where we are? Would that be better?"
Unfortunately, no one knows the answer.
Yue Qi had been carefully sensing his body, and suddenly spoke up.
"No, haven't you noticed that it's getting colder and colder here?"
His words made everyone realize what was happening. They were already finding the cold almost unbearable; what would they do if it got any colder?
"Whether I go forward or backward, I'll die anyway, so I might as well die on the way forward. I don't want to self-destruct."
After failing to summon the strange pet, Wen Jiajia gritted her teeth and decided to give up.
One step, two steps...
She had to stop and rest for a while after taking every small step, and then continue walking forward when she had gathered enough strength.
At this point, only seven people remained in the team, and Wen Jiajia was the only girl.
She was already working so hard, how could the others possibly keep up? So everyone gritted their teeth and bravely chased after her.
Half an hour later.
On the third floor of the Seven Star Tower, the temperature was getting colder and colder. Anyone who entered would be startled. Why were these people all sweating profusely in such a frigid place?
Yue Qi had gone the furthest. With his cultivation technique fully activated, he had already covered most of the distance and was only a dozen meters away from the entrance to the fourth floor.
Behind him, the closest person was actually the sickly-looking old man. Apart from that, the remaining five people, including Wen Jiajia, were almost all in a straight line.
Under the immense pressure of gravity, everyone exerted every ounce of their strength. However, human strength is ultimately limited, and some people could not withstand it.
"Ah—!! It's me again!!"
Wen Jiajia was on the verge of collapse. She had been focused on fighting against this damned gravity. Suddenly, a warm current rushed towards her, and after realizing what it was, Miss Wen completely broke down.
Her left side was covered in blood! The boy who had been on her left had fallen to the ground, his body crushed by gravity, blood gushing from his limbs.
Such a gruesome death was only slightly better than self-destruction. Even after seeing it twice, she still couldn't accept it.
Wen Jiajia had to stop and first clean up the blood all over her body.
After the initial sadness subsided, others became even more motivated, since no one wanted to be the next one.
While everyone was ignoring him, Yue Qi suddenly sped up, walking more than ten meters in one go until he reached the fourth-floor entrance barrier.
Before the old man could even be shocked, he looked up and saw Yue Qi suddenly fall backward, his entire body being sucked into that invisible barrier.
The incident happened so suddenly that, apart from the old man, no one else witnessed his disappearance. So when Wen Jiajia finished composing herself, she was completely dumbfounded.
Where is Yue Qi? He's vanished without a trace!
In an instant, only five lonely people remained on the third floor of the Seven Star Tower.
At the same time, outside the Seven Star Pagoda, on the eaves of the fourth floor, bronze lamps began to glow dimly.
"The number of places available for entering the Seven Star Tower has increased to 220."
