Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 484 - 459 Corruption Tower_2

Just as Tang Qi stood firm, pondering for just a fleeting moment.

"Are you also curious about the mystery of the Mayans?"

Reina Swinton’s voice rang in Tang Qi’s ears.

Turning his head, he locked gazes with a pair of eyes that inspected him with excitement and anticipation.

"Although you can’t see through me, did you save me because you consider me a fellow enthusiast?"

Tang Qi conjured up an explanation for the prior rescue in his mind.

Tang Qi didn’t believe that someone like Reina Swinton, who had been promoted to "Professional Level", would commit the most forbidden mistake on the Mysterious Side, the Holy Mother Syndrome.

Even those from the Bright Church who pursued the deeds of the Holy Mother wouldn’t randomly save other Transcendents during an adventure; that was virtually synonymous with seeking trouble and courting death.

If she thought Tang Qi was a fellow enthusiast of mysterious history, and added to that, his current identity as an "Original Secret Medicine Apprentice" brought a strong affinity, then it was possible she would help.

Of course, if it came down to a life or death decision, she definitely wouldn’t take the risk to save Tang Qi again.

Many thoughts flashed by, but in reality, only a blink of an eye had passed.

Tang Qi nodded in response, his intense curiosity unabashed in his gaze.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the two exchanged words, this time, more than a dozen beams of Blood-eyed Light came roaring towards them.

However, both didn’t feel too pressured by it; previously, there was no escape in the ocean vortex.

Now, unlike the Chituaga people, they didn’t need to worry about their tribe being destroyed, they didn’t need to counterattack, they just needed to escape.

These "Visares" perhaps had their slow speed etched into them from their creation. They possess terrifying bodies and horror-inducing Blood Eyes, but in the ancient city filled with thousands of buildings, it was difficult to kill two rapidly moving human Transcendents.

Tang Qi and Reina Swinton, at the same time, transformed into two phantoms, dashing towards the depths of the distant ancient city.

In the sky, the sharing-minded Reina once again spoke up.

"This is Teotim City, that pyramid is very likely the [Sky Tower] that the Mayans used to worship the Sky God Ivanab. Inside, there may be exquisitely made flints, piles of corn and treasures like mountains, various Exotic Beasts’ corpses and blood, as well as the fresh hearts of enemies."

"The Mayans’ strange disappearance, if there is a truth, it must be hidden inside."

"The Chituaga people, that strange Old Wizard, his goal must also be to obtain things inside the Sky Tower."

...

Reina Swinton’s voice, under her deliberate control, spread throughout the vicinity.

The other five Transcendents heard everything clearly as well.

Adventure into the unknown, so the risk must be shared? She is indeed a clever adventurer, not a stubborn archaeologist.

But unfortunately, the other Transcendents were immersed in their "great harvests".

Although it was an abandoned ancient city, in various temples and forts, a large number of Curios appeared.

Most were of lower Level.

But in the face of a city’s worth of Curios up for the taking, even the "wiser" Transcendents would not choose to venture into an extremely dangerous place.

The five were aware of what Reina had said.

But that’s exactly why it is not hard to guess that as the most central place of Teotim City, involving the mystery of the Mayan extinction, even the most foolish would know that there must be unimaginable dangers inside.

Although in the peripheral areas, they had to face the Visares legions.

But the other temples were still within the "Original Restriction"; the Visares could do nothing but grab at crab legs, their abdominal sacs roaring, and their Blood Eyes firing wildly.

Being silently rejected by the five Transcendents, Reina Swinton had no anger on her face, a sly flicker in her brown pupils. Her voice, broadcasting once again, spoke out.

"Legend has it that the Sky Tower divides Teotim City into a unique Secret Realm, and the only way out is the Gate of Nothingness inside the Sky Tower."

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Reina’s added words were extremely effective.

Including that self-righteous Earth Mother Witch, after hearing it, they all made a decision.

The five, headed together towards the dark Black Pyramid at the heart of the ancient city.

But throughout the process, they still couldn’t resist entering temple after temple, scavenging various low-level Curios.

Regrettably, their focus on treasure hunting meant they completely missed Tang Qi’s subtle smile at the corner of his mouth.

He was certain that there was no such thing as a Gate of Nothingness within the Sky Tower.

The Mayans built pyramids to sacrifice to the Sky God; even if they really constructed a portal, it would be a gateway to the realm of the Sky God, how could it possibly be a path to leave?

Yet among the five, not one was a polymath, deceived by the "knowledge authority" Reina Swinton, they were utterly incapable of seeing through it.

Hmm, that’s not right, not truly none who saw through it.

Before, he hadn’t noticed, but once the two broke out at speed, distancing themselves from the other Transcendents. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Tang Qi suddenly realized, there was a unique aura, sometimes there and sometimes not, but always alongside the two of them.

"That Yucatan Assassin, Timothy."

Without looking back, while dodging the pursuit of the Blood-eyed Light, he didn’t forget to silently commend in his heart: Congratulations, Mr. Assassin, there’s no need to pick up that useless trash.

A city full of Curios is also a city full of trash.

Including that seemingly knowledgeable elder of the Mamba School, all were happily scavenging.

Tang Qi offered no warning, for he knew it would surely be futile.

"Many adventure tales from the Mysterious Side talk of internal strife and betrayal, often linked with Curios and inheritances, just like how ordinary people, upon seeing glittering Divine Grace, momentarily lose their intelligence; so do Transcendents."

"Even if the Pope of the Bright Church were here, he couldn’t stop them from scavenging for Curios, until they leave the ruins and watch with their own eyes as a great number of Curios turn to ashes."

As Tang Qi sighed, they drew ever closer to the "Black Pyramid" deep within the ancient city.

It was at this moment, including the unseen Timothy, all three slowed down simultaneously.

"Boom!"

As the silhouette of the pyramid came into view for the three of them, a terrifying aura also invaded their minds in an instant.

Upon the ground, a large, gloomy Heavenly Pit appeared.

Above it, was the Black Pyramid.

Its surface was covered in copious amounts of rotten flesh, disgusting pus-filled blisters being born one after another, then bursting, hard green hairs growing stubbornly, resembling blood vessels, eyeballs, meat tumors, and even innards wrapped in greenery protruding out.

Human faces stretched out from the decaying flesh, they laughed maniacally, looked dazed, screamed... the rotten and twisted vitality, bizarrely fused together.

Normal life, even just by watching, would feel an unprecedented shock.

"Ugh~"

Reina Svendun was the first to succumb, her body tensed, her complexion extremely unsightly as she bent over and retched.

Beside them, with a grunt, Timothy’s figure appeared, not vomiting, but his already frost-scraping face now almost solidified.

Tang Qi did not feign retching, at this moment, at the bottom of his eyes, dense Information Fragments were taking shape.

[Curio: Corrupted Sky Tower.]

[State: Rotting.]

[Information Fragment One: The Ancient Maya, using Black Meteorite as a material, cast this pyramid. Its purpose was to sacrifice to the Supreme Sky God Ivanab. To every Mayan emperor, the most exalted achievement was to come to the Sky Tower before death and offer their hearts to the Sky God.]

[Information Fragment Two: Due to the Powerful Pollution from an Exotic Realm Race, it is rotting...]

...

The influx of Information Fragments caused Tang Qi’s expression to also turn solemn.

This "Corruption Tower" was extremely dangerous; merely its aura forced Reina and Timothy, both at Professional Level, not to advance any further.

Both understood, once they got closer, they would also be contaminated.

Tang Qi was unafraid, using the methods of a Melter Wizard, or simply letting "Diana" emerge to flip the table, could break through the Pollution.

But his premonition told him now was not a good time to call out Diana, as something bad might happen.

Meanwhile, behind them, the "Visares" brigade was also closing in, pursuing those few greedy Transcendents.

The radiance of Blood Eye was about to erupt.

Tang Qi’s brow furrowed, another Information Fragment flowed past.

"Information Fragment: Every ten minutes, it performs a self-purification."

Immediately, his eyes lit up with a bright gleam.
