The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 942 - 624: Return to the Tower

In a desolate region, the land seemed to be stained with a layer of dark green grime, its hue exceptionally murky.

The Magic Power in this area appeared more chaotic compared to other places.

A faint poisonous gas lingered in the air, giving an oppressive and dangerous feeling.

Toby strolled across this land and, as he walked, it seemed he stepped on something.

Instinctively, he scraped it with his leg, revealing a small, cone-shaped skull.

Just from the shape of this skull, it was easy to tell it was a rat's skeleton.

"Found another one. What was this place before?" Toby asked, full of curiosity.

"I reckon this might have been a battlefield where we fought with rats," the old man said with a chuckle.

Anger nodded in agreement, while leading a road bird beside him, he explained, "That's right, looking at the geographical location, this should have been the battlefield of the Purple Rat War. That's why there's so many rat carcasses left here."

"Purple Rat War?" Swade asked with a puzzled look. He had never heard of such a battle on other continents.

But thinking carefully, there are countless battles he hadn't heard of after all, as the continents are separated by vast oceans, making information exchange difficult, it's normal for such situations to occur.

Anger pondered for a moment before explaining in detail, "That was the war that occurred when we broke through the rat's barriers, fully connecting the United Army camps into a complete defensive circle.

However, the main force of that war was not us, the United Army, but rather our clever guiding of the true world enemy—the [Void] to fight with the rats, tearing open the rats' defense line."

"Since the [Void] appeared purple overall, the war was simply called the Purple Rat War."

It was due to this war that the land's Magic Power became so chaotic.

After all, one side believed in the Evil God, while the other side was even more evil than the Evil God. The fierce battle between them had a huge impact on this land's Magic Power, so it's not surprising for such a situation to occur.

Moreover, the number of rats that died in this battle was truly excessive.

Furthermore, with the other fighting side being the [Void], a large number of rat skeletons were buried in this land.

With the number of Night Watchers and United Army, even if they exerted all their efforts to clear it, they couldn't clean the remnants of corpses completely in this area.

After about seven to eighty percent of the clearance, they simply performed a large-scale Earth Magic, temporarily turning the whole land into a swamp, swallowing and burying the remaining skeletons completely.

After all, those remaining skeletons no longer contained materials from the external Evil God, so it was seen as returning them to the embrace of the world. At least, that's what those mages thought back then.

"Did this battle affect such a large area?" Lisa Lisa asked, puzzled.

They had been traveling since noon yesterday, occasionally seeing buried skeletons in this desolate land, and even now they could still spot them.

Tyr nodded, saying, "Certainly, this battle severely damaged the rats' strength, with rat casualties reaching millions.

For the rat race, once injured, it generally means death."

Upon hearing such a huge number of rats died here, Toby couldn't help but feel his hair standing on end.

Even though the rats are an evil race, such a massive death toll still sent shivers down his spine.

"I can see it," Yorndaren suddenly said from the front.

Hearing this, the others looked slightly ahead. At the boundary of their vision, a towering black wall rose like a mountain, straight into the clouds.

Due to the distance being too far, they couldn't see its full appearance, but just the vague outline was enough to convey its enormity.

This wall almost took over most of the edge of their vision, seemingly separating heaven and earth.

The group had been chatting along the way, not paying much attention to their surroundings.

Seeing this scene now, Toby and the others stood frozen in place, mouths agape, staring up at the black wall with a face full of shock.

What an exaggerated structure! It's as if someone erected a black wall at the world's edge, soaring into the clouds, seemingly breaking through the sky. Could humans really build something like this?

"It's impressive, isn't it?" Vier asked.

Toby and the others nodded dumbly, momentarily at a loss for words to describe their inner feelings.

"Is that the Night Watchers' creation—the black tower?" Swade muttered.

When this Tower of Trial was first built, it attracted the attention of all the world's strong.

Its height and scale were so exaggerated that it was unimaginable, and when the news broke, it immediately became the most talked-about topic and spread quickly everywhere.

Thanks to the Merchant's travels, within less than half a year, this news had spread almost across the entire world.

However, many residents of other continents initially did not believe such a thing existed, as it sounded too outrageous.

But as more and more people personally verified it, combined with the Night Watchers' own renown, more and more people gradually developed a longing for this mysterious tower, wanting to see it for themselves.

From a certain point of view, Swade and others were also convinced by this news to make up their minds to come here.

"From a distance, it indeed looks impressive, but as you get closer, to be honest, it feels quite oppressive," Vier couldn't help but complain.

She wasn't joking. After all, that's a towering black wall, and residents living below the Tower of Trial city often find this wall blocking the sunlight.

Throughout the day, there's only half the time they can feel the sunlight.

Also, seeing such a massive and oppressive structure every day without seeing its ends, if you're not used to it, it really makes you feel uncomfortable inside.

"Tsk, this only shows that you are too fragile. Every time I see it, I can't help but be thrilled," Tyr said proudly.

After all, such a grand and magnificent building was constructed by the Night Watchers, and as a member of the Night Watchers, how could Tyr not feel proud and excited?

There were many people like him. This was also one of the reasons for designing the Tower of Trial to be so extravagant initially.

"So, are we getting close?" Lisa Lisa asked, growing increasingly curious about the Night Watchers.

"What are you thinking? We're far from it, just seeing the tower. At this distance, even riding a road bird would take two days and a night.

If we are walking on two legs like this, it will probably take a week," he shrugged.

"Ah? It's still so far?" Toby was somewhat surprised, as they had already been walking for quite some time.

"You have to know, we are now deep into the area behind the rat tide, on the other side of the continent. As the saying goes, looking at a mountain makes a horse run to death, moving towards the Tower of Trial is just that feeling. It's still early," Tyr shrugged and said.

At this moment, the only one riding on a road bird, or to be precise, squatting on a road bird, Bi'an, was wagging her tail excitedly. She rarely spoke up and said, "No worries, there're plenty of people along the way, no shortage of food and drinks, and places to sleep." This was the journey she was looking forward to.

Seeing the Tower of Trial meant they had basically entered the United Army's controlled area.

Here, city reconstruction work was actively underway, those areas that were once destroyed and occupied were gradually recovering with vitality.

On the way, various strongholds, cities, and rest stations were plentiful, and if lucky, perhaps they might encounter the Night Watchers' supply and transport teams.

"Can we really join the Night Watchers?" Zahanu couldn't help but ask.

"Rest assured, there's no problem at all. The Leader has already agreed, what more needs to be worried about."
