The ancient capital of the Ganglu Dynasty, below the Ladder of the Sun.
Only when you get close and look up can you feel how shocking the Sun Ladder is.
The Ladder of the Sun is cylindrical, like a column standing between heaven and earth. Within the hollow structure inside is an upward spiral staircase, going up in circles, as if leading to the sky.
The outer wall of the Ladder of the Sun is not only a rock structure, but also has a dead vine embedded in the rock. The main trunk of this vine is as thick as a thumb, and the upper branches seem to embrace the entire Ladder of the Sun.
Viewed from the outside, the Ladder of the Sun is a hundred meters in diameter, with an arched doorway at the bottom.
Baha, who was investigating, returned, and after a while, Xiuciro also arrived.
"Too slow."
Su Xiao looked at the time and saw that Baha and Xiusiro were nearly 2 minutes behind schedule.
"I went to fertilize the leeks, which took me a while."
Baha smiled evilly and did not directly say that he had met the God Emperor's adventure group.
Su Xiao looked confused, but did not go into details. After walking up a dozen steps, he entered the arched doorway. Because it was the morning, the sunlight reflected from the arched doorway into the Ladder of the Sun, so it was not dark inside.
The interior of the entire Ladder of the Sun is cylindrical, and the spiral upward stone staircase is fixed on the surrounding walls. Since there are no guardrails beside the stone staircase, the center of the Ladder of the Sun leads all the way upward.
Looking up, after a hundred meters, all I could see was pitch black.
Going up the surrounding spiral staircase is definitely an exciting experience because there are no guardrails. An invisible force field is falling along the center.
"How tall is this building?"
The priest stopped at the center of the bottom floor of the Stairway to the Sun, feeling the force field slowly falling from above. This force field did not affect the surrounding stone stairs climbing on the wall.
"unknown."
Ovia walked into the arch. Her white hair was now tied up, and the black smoke skirt on her body no longer dragged the ground. The red-eyed girl behind her was carrying a large leather bag, and she didn't know what was inside.
"It is said that a mystic once flew several thousand meters above the ancient capital and then fell down like a stone."
Ovia looked at the president, Rogesh, who said nothing, acquiescing to the authenticity of the information.
"That's true. If I fly above 3,500 meters, I will feel uncomfortable."
Baha confirmed the authenticity of this information. The last time he came to the ancient capital, he wanted to see how high the Ladder of the Sun was, but the risk was too great, so he didn't try it.
"Let's go."
Although the priest said this, he did not go first. Instead, he waited for Su Xiao to walk up the stone stairs first. Among all the people present, Su Xiao had the sharpest close range perception and the fastest reaction speed.
Walking in the first place has the advantage of being in the first place. Eminem and Baha are at the back of the queue. In this way, others will be caught in the queue. Everyone knows this, but they want Su Xiao to open the way in front.
They can't have any objections.
Su Xiao walked in the front, followed by Bubuwang, followed by Ovia and the red-eyed girl, followed by the priest, president Rogesh, Xiusiro, and finally Ammu and Baha.
It is worth mentioning that the president, Rogash, also brought the masked man Bass. Bass said nothing and just followed Rogash.
After Su Xiao walked a hundred meters upward, he saw many carvings on the wall nearby, which were words from different eras. The content was as follows:
'The sun is above.'
'Go forward step by step, this is a trial.'
'The Trial of Facing the Sun.'
…
There were dozens of messages from all eras. Seeing these messages, Su Xiao knew that his Sun Gate team was not the first person to bring five keys to the Sun Gate.
It is unknown what the fate of those people before was, but one thing is that the current Sun Gate team, with the same number of people, is definitely the strongest in this era.
Shadow of Death, Ovia, and President Rogesh, these two people are the ceiling of combat power in this world. It is not yet known which of them is stronger, after all, they have never fought against each other.
Climbing up the stone stairs step by step, Su Xiao was always calculating in his mind. He was probably about a thousand meters up now. Looking to the side, he saw that the bottom was already bottomless.
The Ladder of the Sun is most likely not built through conventional methods. Although this is a seventh-level extraordinary world, due to the level of technology, the limit is that the building can be built up to 100 meters high.
The current known information is that the height of the Ladder of the Sun has exceeded one thousand meters. Not only that, the higher you go up, the higher the surrounding temperature.
Su Xiao exhaled hot breath. He turned his head and looked at Bu Bu Wang behind him. Bu Bu Wang stuck out his tongue and his eyes were a little confused. He was already overheated. His IQ dropped to Xiuciro's level. His leather jacket was real.
It's too hot.
"Bubotni, if you're too hot, just peel off your skin and cool down."
Shirtless Ciucciro opens her mouth from behind.
"Woof!"
Bubuwang called to Xiu Xiluo, because he and Su Xiao were walking at the front of the spiral staircase. As long as he turned his head, he could see Xiusi Luo and others below. Everyone kept a distance of about 5 meters.
Continuing to climb up, Su Xiao took out the range finder. After inputting several data on the board, the range finder, which looked like a timer, began to calculate where he was based on the distance Su Xiao had traveled and the slope of the spiral stone staircase.
height.
Su Xiao glanced at the rangefinder. He had climbed 2168 meters, and then looked upward. The spiral staircase above seemed to have no end.
After climbing up to this point, Su Xiao doubted whether he had reached a place like a different space, but Baha sent a message through the team channel, confirming that there was nothing unusual and he was still in the Ladder of the Sun.
Su Xiao's hand was resting on the wall nearby. It was too hot. Even with his constitution, he felt hot.
As soon as his hand touched the wall, a piece of weathered rock broke with a snap. Everyone present had strong senses, and they immediately stopped.
"Bai Ye, what's going on?"
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak. He was looking at a rock in front of him. The rock was about the size of a fingernail and was slowly floating upward.
Su Xiao grabbed the gradually floating piece of rock and threw it towards the priest. As soon as the piece of rock flew near the priest, it slowly floated upward.
Seeing this scene, the priest felt something bad in his heart. If the entire Ladder of the Sun was built with this kind of stone, it would be difficult to determine how high the building would be.
This kind of stone almost ignores gravity. After building a building with it, there is no need to worry about collapse. As long as it is fixed on the ground and prevents the Ladder of the Sun from floating into the sky, the building can be built very high.
Bach had previously detected that there was heavy pressure on the outside of the Ladder of the Sun, which seemed to be caused by a kind of energy floating in the sky.
Due to the heavy external pressure, the main body of the Ladder of the Sun has floating characteristics, and the rock on which it is built is very solid. The combination of multiple factors resulted in the magnificent Ladder of the Sun.
Su Xiao didn't know the specific structure of the Ladder of the Sun, but he knew one thing. The higher you go, the higher the temperature inside the Ladder of the Sun, and heat waves keep coming from above.
Continuing to move forward, when the rangefinder showed 5173 meters, Su Xiao stopped again. He had some suspicion that this thing was broken. Even if the structure of the Sun Ladder was special, it shouldn't be so high, and... around
It's hotter.
Su Xiao wiped the sweat from his chin, took off his [Night of the Wild Hunt] long leather jacket and his underwear. He was shirtless, took out a large bottle of water, and poured it down from the top of his head.
Hiss~
White gas rose on the surface of Su Xiao's body, and the water vapor took away the heat from his body. Water vapor appeared, which showed how high the temperature of his body surface was.
Pour the remaining half of the bottle of water on BooBoo Wang, until the "happy" BooBoo Wang recovers a little.
"Is it possible that we are really getting closer to the sun?"
The priest at the back was also shirtless. Su Xiao could feel the heat. Of course the priest was not feeling well. As for the occultist, the president Rogesh, one could tell from the drops of sweat dripping from his chin.
current status.
"Close to the sun? How is it possible? We haven't even left the atmosphere of the Demon Star. You have to believe in science, Father."
While Baha was talking, he took a bite of the ice created by Ammu using ice energy (supernormal ability).
"Oh ho ho, girl with red eyes, don't you notice it usually, tut tut tut~"
Xiusiro, who was about to become stupid with the heat, spoke up. The reason why he said this was because the red-eyed girl took off only her underwear. She didn't care about this at all. If Ovia hadn't stopped her, the red-eyed girl would have walked naked.
, it’s cooler this way.
"indeed."
The priest also looked at him sideways, the old thing was very bad.
Su Xiao, who was at the front, continued to move forward. The higher up, the more terrifying the temperature became.
Carrying Bubu Wang, Su Xiao had forgotten how long she had been traveling when the stone staircase reached the end and an arch appeared in front of her.
Walking into the arch, Su Xiao found that this was the top floor of the Ladder of the Sun, with an area of about tens of square meters.
As soon as she walked into the top floor of the Sun Staircase, Su Xiao saw scratches on the ground, which were several messages, the contents of which were:
'You succeeded.'
'Don't be proud, this is just the beginning.'
'If you didn't bring the five keys, go back the way you came. Sitting on the wooden board and sliding down, you will have a different experience, thrilling and exciting.'
'The Sun Gate is in front of you, but what is that dark hole? It may be...a dark and dirty thing."
'Another group of people are tempted by masks to die. Final advice, don't fight with more than 10 Sun Warriors.'
…
There are all kinds of messages, but I haven't gotten much useful information.
Su Xiao looked at the innermost side of the top floor of the Ladder of the Sun. A giant metal door was located here. The giant metal door showed a dim golden color as a whole. There was a ring in the center, and below it, it was 1.6 meters above the ground.
, there are five grooves about one meter apart, which are the Sun Gate.
