Chapter Thirty-Six: The Sloppy Old Man

Nebula tried to climb up with all his strength, but several times he slipped down when his chest was about to hit the stone steps.

The muscle pulls again and again made Xingyun almost painful, if Xingyun could learn some Dou Qi before he set off, even the worst level ten Dou Qi would not strain his arm for this reason.

But Nebula aspires to become an excellent magician, how can he still learn such a thing as Dou Qi, so the current Nebula can only be said to be a tragedy!

The Nebula Society's magic only has magic shields and magic arrows, and magic can't save Nebula. Nebula is not vindictive, which means that Nebula can do nothing but wait for death?

"Brush~ lala, bang! Bang" A wonderful sound came from the feet of the nebula.

If there were someone at the bottom of the sixth floor, that person would probably be shocked and say to himself, "How is that possible! How could it be that three magic books were inexplicably dropped on it! I almost got smashed! Hey! What is it? A bag of cookies and a bag of jerky!! Wow! I'm so lucky! I just didn't eat lunch, could it be that the goddess knew that I didn't have lunch and brought it to me? No way! Something hit me on the head! Kettle? Where did this come from? There's something floating up there!! Oh my god, this Babel Tower is terrible, I'd better go home."

Right! That's right! Nebula already felt that he couldn't hold it anymore, and if he hadn't climbed the stone steps with his arms ringed, he might have really fallen from exhaustion.

At this time, the nearly twenty kilogram cloth bag that Xingyun carried on his shoulder was just a burden! No matter what is inside, even if there are gold, silver, jewelry, precious magic equipment, and magic materials inside. In such a situation, it can only be a life-urging talisman.

So Nebula didn't hesitate to bite open the pimple tied to the cloth bag on his shoulder with his mouth, and after hearing the sound of items falling, Nebula immediately made a pull-up with a fierce force.

Gradually, his chest clinged to the stone steps, but Nebula did not relax in the slightest, because he knew that he could only say that he was safe when he stood firm.

Nebula struggled to lift his right leg up to find a point of support, but since his legs were also pulled up and down by the wind, he was almost crippled, if not crippled.

After a few minutes, Nebula's right leg finally landed on the stone steps, and it seemed that success was in sight.

It's just that judging from Nebula's hideous and twitching expression, I'm afraid that doing this little action has made Nebula do his best!

After another half a minute, Nebula's other leg slowly moved to the stairs.

Fortunately, Nebula is only a child's shoe size and relatively small, otherwise it would be difficult for Nebula's feet to step on this stone step the size of an adult's palm.

It took more than a minute for Nebula to slowly stand up, and after standing up, Nebula swayed to and fro feeling even more dangerous than before.

After the body was balanced, the nebula walked up step by step, at this time the nebula was more cautious, every few steps to observe the stone window to see if there was a strong wind, although it was very likely that it was too late to observe, but the nebula still did not give up the careful inspection outside the window.

Nebula finally reached the top of the sixth layer, and at this time, Nebula's stomach was already "growling", but there was no way, the food or something had already been thrown under the tower by the Nebula Warrior's broken wrist.

But at this time, Nebula is hungry, and I believe that if you give Nebula a piece of raw meat now, Nebula will definitely not hesitate to bite it.

Nebula, who was so hungry, even had the urge to climb down to get food, but Nebula also knew that it was easy to go up the mountain and difficult to get down, and if he went down now, he would be more likely to encounter danger.

Moreover, the nebula may have some slight fear of heights under the influence of the Tower of Babel, and the nebula will feel dizzy when looking down at the black hole that seems to swallow everything.

If Nebula really wants to go down now, it can only be death!

Forward! Up! Now it's just a matter of moving on! Keep climbing! Without food, a hungry Nebula may only be able to hold out for another day at most, and within that day it will have to reach the top of the tower!!

Nebula gritted his teeth and continued to walk upwards and even climb on all fours, and finally Nebula reached the bottom of the tenth layer.

No more! I don't have the strength to climb up anymore!

Nebula felt like he had a splitting headache at this time, and even breathing gradually became difficult, and because he hadn't eaten for a long time, Nebula's physical fitness had now reached its lowest point.

But the most important reason why Nebula can't advance to the eleventh layer is that there is a violent wind blowing on the tenth layer again!

Fortunately, this time the bottom of the tenth layer where the nebula was located was not close to the stone window on the tenth floor, and the nebula only heard the deafening whistling sound to know that the wind was coming.

It's night!

After the Ice Village's illumination magic array was turned off, the Tower of Babel fell into darkness, and the only thing that accompanied the Nebula was the sound of the wind tearing and roaring like a beast.

"Woo~~" Nebula couldn't help crying after all. His legs hurt, his hands hurt, and his stomach was so hungry that Nebula even regretted choosing the path of a magician.

After crying for a while, Nebula slowly subsided, and Nebula thought to his chagrin that he was going to be hungrier now.

This is also the reason why the nebula in the Ice and Snow Canyon was lured out by Biru with candy, because he was crying and hungry

And just like that, Nebula had the hardest day!

Nebula has ushered in a new morning again! But this seemingly energetic morning was not a pleasant morning for Nebula.

"Goo~~Goo~~" Xingyun wanted to cry without tears and rubbed his already flattened belly, for a child who was hungry for a day and a half, it was almost to the limit.

I believe that even if Nebula is given a piece of wood now, Nebula can gnaw it with relish, if it weren't for the fact that the stone walls and stone steps of the Tower of Babel can't be bitten, maybe Nebula would have tried to bite the stone by now

There are eleven more floors! Yesterday the Nebula climbed from the first layer to the tenth layer in one day, which means that the Nebula climbed nine floors in one day, and if the speed is calculated at the same rate as yesterday, the Nebula will take at least a little more than a day to climb to the top of the twentieth floor.

But for Nebula, which is now so hungry that it can almost eat stones, the speed of the upward climb after that is definitely not as fast as the previous one.

Maybe it will take two days, or even three days, to climb to the top of the tower, but if it really waits until then, Nebula will starve to death.

Therefore, for the current Nebula, only by constantly climbing upwards can he have a glimmer of hope for survival.

It's just- the fucking wind hasn't stopped all night!! What kind of fuss is this?? You have the ability to scrape in a roast chicken for me!!

Xingyun helplessly pressed his tumultuous stomach and wiped the saliva that flowed from his mouth, and continued to lean against the stone wall and wait for the wind to blow.

In fact, if Nebula hadn't been able to ignore the cold, I'm afraid Nebula would have frozen to death a long time ago, and both clothes were thrown away, and now Nebula is actually wearing ordinary long-sleeved cloth clothes and pants.

Not to mention the cold wind that blew all night last night, even if there was no cold wind, the temperature in the tower would not exceed ten degrees. Can a cloth shirt and pants be hardy? Are you kidding!! The eldest brother of the guard, Law, was dressed in thick leather armor, and he was wearing cotton clothes and pants inside, and he was frozen like this, if Nebula didn't have the ability to withstand the cold, I am afraid that he would not even be able to survive the night in the snow cave.

The nebula waited and waited, and waited until the earth was dark, drowsy, and sleepy-eyed

Finally! The wind has stopped!! Nebula was so excited that she burst into tears! If you wait, you will definitely starve to death!!

Nebula has been decided! Gotta move on! Even if you fall to death, it's better than starving!

Falling to death is just a pain, and maybe you can't even feel the pain, but if you are starved to death, it will be terrible, it will torture people to death!

So Nebula moved his body a little and continued to walk upward, this time Nebula didn't care what wind was blowing, and it was better to be blown to death than to starve to death.

But even if Nebula is determined to be thousands of miles, he must have capital, and Nebula, who is so hungry that he can't even walk, is simply like walking a tightrope, and he may fall down next.

Eventually, Nebula collapsed due to exhaustion as he climbed to the middle of the tenth floor

★?????????????????? ★

The mysterious room on the tenth floor of the Tower of Babel -

"Why haven't my research materials arrived yet? Du Yi Express is too slow!! A scruffy bearded old man in sunglasses slowly emerged from one of the stone pillars of the Tower of Babel, as if anxiously waiting for someone.

"Huh! How is there a child here? Could it be that he is the courier of the Du Yi Express Association? The scruffy old man muttered to himself at Nebula, who was lying unconscious on the two stone steps.

Obviously, this old man has gone crazy, and Nebula is a lowest-level magic apprentice at a glance, how could someone in the Du Yi Express Guild send someone with such strength underground to deliver goods for the guild?

But the old man was obviously more than anxious, as if he was worried about something, as if he was going to explode at any moment.

The appearance of the nebula just diverted the old man's train of thought a little, and the old man was also a little curious about a child who suddenly appeared in front of his door.

Anyway, if you're idle, you'll be idle, let's take him back first, maybe he'll really deliver the goods, so you can continue your experiments!!

So the old man carried the nebula and slammed into the huge stone pillar again, and as a result, it sank into the stone pillar without a trace as if the old man was diving.

At this moment, a noise came from above, and if Nebula hadn't fainted on the stone steps, he would have noticed a caravan heading from top to bottom towards the base of the Tower of Babel.

The caravan and the group noisily passed by the stone pillar that the old man had not entered, and did not notice the strangeness of the stone pillar at all, and hurriedly continued to advance to the lower floor.

Suddenly! The old man came out of the pillar again, and then, when he saw a group of caravans in the distance below, he cursed a few words and then went back again.

Obviously, the old man thought that these movements were caused by the courier of the Du Yi Express Association, and only after finding out that it was not, he was disappointed and scolded.

The old man returned to his place, and the old man tossed Nebula at random onto his worn-out, stinking cot and went back to tinkering with his research materials.

Because of the noisy caravan just now, the little interest the old man had in Nebula had disappeared.

The old man rummaged through the wooden cabinet beside him, but he couldn't find anything, so he went to the back room in a rage.
