Chapter 18 Waiting for Sister
It is not easy to survive a group of Nizoren man-eating ants.
One or two of these man-eating ants are easy to deal with, as they are just fourth-level monsters.
But these man-eating ants always like to fight in teams. They appear in groups every time, like wildfire, leaving no grass wherever they pass.
One or two, two or three, more than ten...hundreds or thousands.
The cooperation and teamwork of so many fourth-level alien beasts are enough to match the power of first-level alien beasts.
It’s not that these people don’t want to fight, nor are they trying to flee from the battlefield. It’s just that they simply can’t win.
Even ants can shake big trees. This sentence is vividly reflected at this moment.
The tiny man-eating ants are even more terrifying than the first-level monsters at this moment.
…
It is really painful to be bitten by man-eating ants. Although the heroine pulled him back, there were still a few man-eating ants that crawled onto his body due to the excessive number of ants.
Biting a piece of meat one bite at a time was no joke. Gu Jinli was bitten three times in total, leaving three bloody holes.
“Huh~”
I was thankful for the system's pain blocker more than once. Although the wound looked hideous, it was actually just painful in appearance.
"Did you get rid of it?"
Dragged by Shen Chigui, Gu Jinli ran in the desert with her head down. She felt her lungs were about to smoke. She propped herself up on her knees and gasped for air: "No, I can't run anymore."
"It's okay, sis."
Standing beside her, Shen Chigui was also panting.
But she soon calmed down. She looked back at the desert and confirmed that the group of man-eating ants had not followed her.
"I think he went after that group of people."
Even strange beasts would weigh the pros and cons.
Compared to the small bodies of Shen Chigui and Gu Jinli, a team with large numbers and strong bodies is obviously more popular.
"I hope they can escape successfully!"
Gu Jinli sighed slightly, feeling a little worried, but helpless.
I was able to survive thanks to the heroine's wit...
Although she traveled with those people all the way, she felt powerless.

Is the appearance of ants really just a coincidence?
No one knew about this, and Gu Jinli never doubted it.
At this moment, they could already see the body of the Tower of Babel from where they were. After shaking off the ants, the two of them walked towards their destination.
About an incense stick of time later, the two arrived at the gate of the Tower of Babel.
Surprisingly, there were already quite a few people here.
"Why don't you go in?"
After standing behind the crowd and observing for a while, I found that they were all standing outside the tower whispering, and very few people went directly inside.
"He's probably waiting for someone."
His eyes swept across those people lightly, and Chen Chigui didn't even stop: "Sister, let's go."
"Aren't you going to wait for them?"
Following the heroine hesitantly, Gu Jinli looked at the people gathered at the door, then looked at the heroine in front of him who didn't even turn back, and hesitated for a moment.
Just go in like this?
Just ignore those people in front?
Although we were scattered by the ants, we should be able to find our way here soon...
"If you want to wait, then stay!"
Seeing that she didn't catch up for a long time, Shen Chigui turned around and smiled: "I can go in alone."
"That won't work."
She rejected the other party without thinking. How could Gu Jinli let the heroine go in alone?
She didn't want to stay alone and wait for someone, not knowing how long she would have to wait, so she thought it would be better to go in together.
"I'll go with you."
Gu Jinli followed the people in front into the Tower of Babel.
…
…
Babel is actually a tower climbing game.
The entire tower has thirty-six floors, each with different levels and tribulations. Challengers can only go to the next floor after successfully passing the current level.
There is an opportunity to skip a level every six floors of the Tower of Babel. In the original plot, the heroine reached the top floor by skipping a level and obtained the natal sword at the fastest speed.
The rules of the Tower of Babel were not explained in detail in the text, but Gu Jinli, as the one who created them, knew them very well.
Simply put, the levels of the entire tower are divided into two categories, either you need to use force and violence to pass the level, or you need to use your brain to decipher the level.
Levels one to six obviously belong to the former.
Kill strange beasts, challenge the guards, and pass the level by relying on your martial arts skills.
But this way of passing the levels was not friendly to Gu Jinli. By the time she reached the sixth floor, she could no longer remember how many times she had died.
Her special physique makes her extremely eye-catching in this kind of level-breaking game, and the heroine is not polite at all in using her.
They might be pushed out to block the knife, or used as bait to attract strange beasts, or accidentally chopped in half by the guardian during the fight... or they might step into the sharp bamboo forest and become human skewers.
The ways of her death were all strange and never repeated.
“We’re finally here.”
Looking at the stone gate in front of her, Gu Jinli stood there with her knees supported, gasping for breath, almost crying with joy.
This is it, she finally passed the sixth level!
She's getting rid of the heroine!
She has to pass this level's choices to separate from the heroine!
【Select the next level. 】
The stone gate sensed the gaze of the challenger and automatically displayed a prompt.
Gu Jinli lowered her eyes and glanced at him.
7, 8, 9...12...33.
Starting from the sixth floor and going up to the 33rd floor, any floor in between can be selected.
But the Tower of Babel has a total of 36 floors, which means that no matter how many levels you skip, you still have to pass the top three floors in the end.
In the original novel, the heroine jumped directly to the 33rd floor.
"How many floors do you want to choose?"
But the previous six floors almost drove Gu Jinli crazy, and her legs subconsciously went weak when she saw the stone door.
But she has already figured it out. She will use the feature of being able to skip levels every six floors to separate from the heroine here!
It was too careless to come in with Shen Chigui before!
In these layers, what the heroine did to her was simply outrageous! She was fed up with being pushed out to take the blame whenever something happened!
Even if you won't die, you shouldn't continue to endure this torture.
"Which floor do you want to go to, sister?"
Seeing her intention to avoid him, Shen Chigui paused and said with a smile: "I will wait for my sister to choose me before I choose."
“No, no, no!”
Wait until you make your choice, how can you escape?
Gu Jinli was unwilling to do so, so she stepped forward and pushed the heroine, saying, "Go get your natal sword! I'm not in a hurry."
"…Okay, sister."
Her young body greatly limited Shen Chigui's performance. Even if she was unwilling, there seemed to be no way to stop it when she was pushed.
She was surrounded by Gu Jinli and came to the stone gate. Under the other's scorching gaze, she chose the floor she wanted to go to - the 33rd floor, and went straight to the top floor.
"come on!"
The stone door in front of him slowly opened. Gu Jinli silently took two steps back to create some distance, and the smile on the corners of his lips looked particularly prominent.
"I'm leaving."
After taking a deep look at her, Shen Chigui said with a little regret: "I thought I could be with my sister forever!"
She paused here and continued, "I will wait for you at the finish line~"
