Chapter 604: The Endless Staircase
As long as there are chains in her body, Tao Qingqing will always be under Wen Wen's supervision. If she wants to attack people and suck blood, she will be pulled into the shelter immediately.
So Wen Wen safely left Tao Qingqing behind and asked her to investigate the suicide case alone, while Wen Wen himself came to an abandoned church on the edge of the town.
This church is almost a hundred years old, but it looks like it has been abandoned for almost a hundred years...
The Creation Church is the largest religion in the Federation, but before the establishment of the Federation, there was no Creation Church belief in the greater Washington area.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Federation, the wealthy Creation Church built churches in every town and town in the Washington DC area, dreaming of taking the faith of the DC area into its hands.
As for the result, it can be seen from this abandoned church that the Creation Church did not complete their vision and lost a lot of money...
This church has been dormant here for hundreds of years, but because it was built with fine stone, it did not collapse even if no one took care of it.
The magical endless staircase is also within this church. It is said that the staircase originally led to the basement. When a few children came here to play, they accidentally discovered that no matter how they went down, they could not reach the end.
Later, a demon hunter from the association came to investigate and found that if the depth did not drop fifty meters, a guarding monster would appear.
After defeating monsters, you will receive certain rewards. Although the rewards are not valuable, most of them are interesting.
When Wen Wen got the news about this endless staircase, more than a dozen demon hunters had already explored it.
However, due to the tiger-like incident, all nearby demon hunters were recruited to Yueshan City, and no demon hunters have explored this place in recent days.
When Wen Wen arrived at the door, he found an old man with gray hair sitting here.
After seeing Wen Wen, the old man put on his reading glasses and asked, "Young man, this is not the place you should come."
This old man has traces of superpowers on his body. He should be a demon hunter sent by the association to guard this place. Such a contained object that cannot be removed must be watched by a demon hunter.
So Wen Wen took out the demon hunter's ID and said, "I am a demon hunter and I want to go here and explore."
When he saw that Wen Wen was a demon hunter, the old man laughed and said, "If you want to go in and explore, of course you can, but it only costs two thousand demon hunting coins at a time."
"Still charging?" Wen Wen frowned and said, he had never heard of this rule before.
The old man said seriously: "The land here belongs to my family, and the association has given it to me to manage. You may cause damage here every time you enter, so it is impossible for you to have sex for nothing without paying."
Wen Wen raised his eyebrows and almost wanted to punch someone, but he checked through the safari terminal and found that what the old man said was indeed correct.
The old man was a native demon hunter in Tian's Town. He was about to retire, so he spent money to buy up all the nearby buildings, including this church.
Moreover, this business is also allowed by the association, and half of the old man’s earnings must be handed over to the association...
The old man encouraged Wen Wen and said, "Don't be too expensive. Defeating monsters here has a chance of dropping good things. And every time you pass the first ten floors, I will give you 200 demon hunting coins back."
"What about after the tenth floor?"
"I won't go back after the tenth floor. You can't let me do a loss-making business." The old man said with a smile.
Wen Wen was very unhappy. This old man made him feel like he had been tricked, but he came here just for the endless stairs, and he was even more unhappy if he had to go all the way in vain.
So Wen Wen reluctantly handed over two thousand demon hunting coins to the old man and walked into the dilapidated church.
The old man reminded behind Wen Wen: "The deeper you go up the stairs, the stronger the monsters you encounter, and the environment will also corrode people's spirit. If you can't stop it, please run back immediately. The monsters here have a very small range of activity...
"
After seeing Wen Wen's figure disappear, the old man showed a sly smile:
"The strongest demon hunter who has been here is a mid-level assimilation hunter, and he has only reached the thirteenth level. You, a boy who has not even reached the level of assimilation, can only get down to the fifth or sixth level at most."
Not going, hehehe."
Wen Wen has the habit of hiding most of his aura, so the old man doesn't know Wen Wen's true strength. If he knew, his offer wouldn't be so low.
Pushing open an old wooden door, Wen Wen saw the descending stairs. An oil lamp was lit next to the stairs so that he could not clearly see the road below. The dim light added an eerie atmosphere to the stairs.
Wen Wen sensed it carefully and found that there was not too strong aura of super energy here. It was the same as the aura of other places in the town. At most, the aura of the small town here was a little stronger.
After walking down to a depth of more than ten meters, Wen Wen discovered that every step here, every oil lamp, and even every brick on the wall were not repeated.
In other words, this endless staircase does not allow people to reach the end through space transformation, but it really extends downward.
It's winter now, and the temperature gets higher as you go down. When we reach a depth of fifty meters, it's almost twenty degrees, and Wen Wen also sees the first monster guarding the stairs.
At the end of the stairs, a platform with a diameter of ten meters appeared. The stairs that continued to go down were at the other end of the platform.
In the middle of the platform, stood a wandering spirit wearing ancient armor. The wandering spirit mechanically said to Wen Wen: "Breakthrough, let me see your moves..."
After saying that, it attacked Wen Wen.
However, this kind of low-level wandering soul is just like Qin Shuang at the beginning. Wen Wen was too lazy to do anything. He just flicked his finger and shot out a ray of light, causing his soul to fly away.
Wen Wen curled his lips and said, "Is this the first monster to guard the gate? It's too weak..."
"But it is said that even if I kill it, people who enter the level will still see the same monster next time, so is it dead or not?"
A piece of broken iron fell from the dissipated wandering soul, which looked like an ancient coin. Although it was of no use to Wen Wen, Wen Wen still picked it up.
"It actually dropped something. This is an antique coin. It should be worth a few bucks. I wonder what will appear after the tenth floor."
Wen Wen smiled and continued to go deeper.
This time he did not walk down slowly, but ran. He quickly crossed the distance of fifty meters and successfully reached the second floor.
The monster guarding the second floor is a zombie holding a long knife, saying the same words in its mouth.
"Breaker, let me see your moves."
Wen Wen shot a ray of light as usual, but was surprised to find that the zombie blocked Wen Wen's light with a long knife.
