Chapter 230: Dingdong, June 19, 2018, 2,118 Black Towers have randomly disappeared.

The red whip was like a soft snake, wrapping itself lightly around the short, thin staff.

Grea raised an eyebrow in surprise. He was currently using the special effect of his short cane to constantly change his position. While he was instantly moving, his cane was actually constantly shifting in 360°. Mu Huixue's ability to bind a moving short cane with one hand was enough to demonstrate her strength.

Mu Huixue exclaimed, "I've tied him up!"

Tying up the short staff is tantamount to tying up the circus ringmaster.

Mu Huixue stomped on the ground and pulled the whip with both hands, forming a rivalry with Grea. On the other hand, Andre roared and clenched his fists towards Grea.

Unable to move his cane because it was bound by a whip, Grea was unable to move instantly. But this did not limit his strength, and he was helpless, dodging Andre's punches from side to side with one hand on his cane and the other on his bowler hat. Andre's punches are so fast that they exceed Tang Mo's dynamic vision, and likewise Grea dodges with such speed that he can't even see them.

Mu Huixue is holding back, and Andre is on the front foot.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo looked at each other, and they attacked directly from the left and right sides.

When the four of them are working together, Grea's eyes narrow, and she suddenly releases her hand from holding the short staff. The short thin staff was taken by Mu Huixue, who threw it directly to Tang Mo, wanting Tang Mo to use it. But Tang Mo said the incantation for the use of the staff as Grea had said it, but saw no effect.

Grea smiled, "My lady, there's only one wacky circus ringmaster in the world."

The short staff was unusable, but it was also an extremely powerful and rare item. Instead of the wholesale mass-produced Little Yang San, Tang Mo simply threw it aside and used the short staff as a weapon to attack Grea.

Fu Wenduo and Andre were the main attackers, while Tang Mo and Mu Huixue kept sneaking in with their light moves.

Soon, all four of them had wounds on their bodies. Grea sidestepped Fu Wenduo's attack, and on the other side, Andre's fist swung. He deftly dodged the blow, and in front of him were the weapons of Tang Mo and Mu Huixue.

If we keep this up, the results will be obvious.

Unlike Granny Wolf and Santa Claus, who are strong attackers and purely violent Black Tower monsters, the Circus Master and Queen Hong Tao are both athletic Black Tower bosses, and although they are not necessarily stronger than the first two, they can stall the enemies in a group battle so that they can't hit them.

Fu Wenduo's three men forced Grea into a dead corner, and Tang Mo immediately crossed his arms and shouted, "Give me back my grandfather!"

The blazing flames instantly swooped up and engulfed Grea.

In the midst of the fire, a black figure lumbered to the ground with one foot, the whole person jumping into the air. Mu Huixue swung her whip to try and bind Grea's legs, and as it wrapped around her opponent's ankles, she only saw the red-haired gentleman lowering his head and flashing her an elegant smile.

Mu Huixue felt bad and immediately released his grip on the whip. Unfortunately, he was still one step too late, Grea grabbed the whip with one hand, and the lightning traveled down his palm to Mu Huixue's body. Mu Huixue was shocked by the violent lightning strike and flew backwards, falling to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Tang Mo Several people look up at Grea.

The circus ringmaster took Mu Huixue's whip and landed firmly on the ground. He laughed, "You took my weapon, so of course I had to get one back. This one seems good?"

Mu Huixue's whip is also a rare prop, and that's when the crowd finally realizes that the circus ringmaster has the special ability to manipulate lightning.

With each stroke of his whip, the ground splintered into a deep fissure, and lightning scorched the earth with a black trail.

The four kept dodging his whip, and that's when they realized that the whip might be a better use for Grea than the short staff. The short staff was too short, unlike the whip, and had a wide range of attacks, and now none of them could get close to Grea.

Fu Wenduo's eyes narrowed as he turned his head and said, "Together, I'll split a path."

"Yes!"

All three chose to believe Fu Wenduo.

After a long time, Fu Wenduo threw out his hands, and black, three-pronged sharp objects appeared on both of his arms. Grea saw him and threw out a long whip. Fu Wenduo swung his arms, and the black metal weapon collided with the red whip, making a fierce metallic clash.

Whip shadows were thick, Fu Wenduo split a path, and Tang Mo's three men rushed up.

Grea saw the situation and slightly hooked the corner of his mouth. His next strike directly bound Fu Wenduo's left arm, and Fu Wenduo's brows furrowed as he was about to dodge away. A violent lightning struck Fu Wenduo's left arm along with the long whip, and actually twisted the black sharp weapon to break.

Fu Wenduo stifled a grunt and jumped backwards three steps, stabilizing himself with one hand on the ground.

His left arm was cut off and blood flowed down the ground. But on the other side, Tang Mo and his trio are already in front of Grea. Grea couldn't retreat and was almost doomed to a certain defeat. At this point, he let out a low laugh, "One of you has to die, or else the Black Tower will think I'm letting the cat out of the bag."

With that, he flipped his hand and took out a small, seven-colored ball.

The ball was a scaled-down version of the kind often used in circuses, the Balance Ball, and when it appeared in the air, everyone's hearts flinched and an unsettling foreboding enveloped their entire body. Tang Mo shouted, "Retreat!" But where was the time.

The head of the Circus of Wonders is a man with a very small heart. His heart was divided into three pieces, two for Tang Mo and one for Fu Wenduo.

Of the four, it is Tang Mo who has the deepest grudge against Grea.

He turns his head to Tang Mo and crushes the colorful ball as a dazzling, dazzling colored light slips out of his hand. It instantly transformed into a rope, wrapped around Tang Mo with incredible speed, and grabbed him in front of Grea. Grea grabs Tang Mo by the neck with one hand and takes the short staff from Tang Mo's hand with the other.

Tang Mo's eyes twinkled as he tried to escape by using his power, "A Very Quick Man". However, Grea squeezed his hand tightly, leaned down and whispered in his ear, "My lady, Cinderella only said you could defeat me, she didn't say what it would take for you to defeat me. The fact that only one of you died already shows that you are very strong. This seven-colored rope that binds you is not so easy to break free, don't waste your props ......" After a pause, he smiled a deep smile, "Or powers."

Tang Mo's eyes flinch, and Grea doesn't hesitate to tighten his neck. In just a moment, Tang Mo's neck would be crushed alive. There was no time for the crowd to save him, Fu Wenduo directly rushed up. But at that moment, Mu Huixue took out a small compass and held it in his palm, while his other hand rapidly fluctuated the pointer.

"Fallacy, there is no such thing as an unsolvable rope, I refute it!"

In an instant, as if the sound of glass shattering, the colorful rope that securely bound Tang Mo shattered all over the ground.

Grea gives a rare look of surprise, and Tang Mo takes the opportunity to take out a large match and, with a cry of rage, sets his right hand on fire. Grea, of course, recognizes the large match, and while Mosaic is not strong, her props are interesting. Without blinking, he cuts his right hand away, and as Tang Mo escapes, he looks up at Mu Huixue, amazed, "How did a human get it?"

Tang Mo wiped away the blood spilling from her lips and turned her head to look at Mu Huixue.

That was the same question he wanted to ask.

Fallacy Compass, which is a rare prop on the same level as the Truth Clock.

There are also highs and lows between rare props.

The King's gold coin is no match for Grea's short staff, and Grea's short staff is no match for Santa's giant lollipop. And on top of that, there's the Clock of Truth and the Compass of Fallacies.

In Schrödinger's Iron Fortress, Tang Mo was mocked by Schrödinger for simply trying to take the fake clock. But now, Mu Huixue is in possession of the Fallacy Compass, and it's the real deal.

Mu Huixue puts away the Fallacy Compass: "There are no props in the world that can't be owned, and I refute you on that point."

Grea looked at her steadily for a long time, and he smiled helplessly.

The Circus Master steps aside and picks up his bowler hat that fell to the ground when he dodged Tang Mo's large match earlier. He puts this bowler hat back on correctly and smiles softly, "I concede defeat, and congratulate you on clearing the Black Tower that I guard. The Black Tower did not tell me that you still possess the Fallacy Compass." He looked over at Mu Huixue as if observing something, and then said, "My lady, so you fused with it a long time ago. With it here, no creature in the world can kill you. Having a prop of this level is a dangerous thing, you've completely broken the fairness of the game, but you'll be hated by the Black Tower, and bad things will happen."

At those words, Mu Huixue's body gave a beat, then she said calmly, "Then I will slowly wait for the Black Tower's revenge."

Grea spread her hands.

Although they said they admitted defeat on their lips, all four players didn't let their guard down.

Grea was seen leaning on his crutch with his intact hand, turning toward the Black Tower. He was halfway there when he stopped and looked up at the slowly setting sun in the sky. There was no sunset in the world of the Black Tower, only a reddish-bronze body of light. He stared fixedly for a moment, as if he would never see such a beautiful sight again.

Grea gave a low chuckle as he lowered his head, pressed his bowler hat, and continued to walk towards the Black Tower.

"Welcome to the Cirque du Freak, and what a successful end to tonight's show."

The figure of the head of the Circus of Oddities gradually disappeared below the Black Tower, and it was only when he had completely vanished that the four Tang Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the moment Grea disappeared, this black tower above the heads of the crowd blossomed into a seven-colored light. A cheerful nursery rhyme rang out, and players all over the world stopped moving and listened to the song in amazement.

As the song ends, the Black Tower's crisp childlike voice makes a global announcement-

"Dingdong! At 17:14 on June 19, 2018, official players Fu Wenduo, Tang Mo, Mu Huixue, Andre Petrov, Fu Wen Sheng, and Chen Shanshan from Area 58 of Huaxia, successfully cleared the first Black Tower."

"Ding Dong! June 2018 ......"

Broadcasting three times in a row, the Black Tower finally summarized, "Counting down to six days, there are a total of four Black Towers left, so please make an effort to attack the towers!"

Tang Mo looked up at the black tower and breathed a soft sigh of relief.

The Black Tower had said that there were a total of five Black Towers on the seventh level, and now there were only four left.

Grea disappeared, and Chen Shanshan and Fu Wen Sheng rushed up and healed everyone.

One of the most seriously injured was Fu Wenduo, who was able to block Grea's whip attack all by himself, and his left arm was broken and his body was covered with gruesome wounds. But thanks to his genetic reorganization ability, he recovers very quickly, and before long, Andre is the most seriously injured.

The crowd left first and found a place to land.

Hiding in an abandoned office building, Tang Mo was planning to ask Mu Huixue about the Fallacy Compass. Suddenly, a dull boom sounded from outside the window. It sounded as if tens of thousands of tall buildings collapsed in unison, and the earth let out a wail. The crowd was shaken in their hearts and quickly ran to the window and looked to the south.

Standing at the height of the 31st floor, Tang Mo's six looked at the city not far away and slowly opened their eyes wide.

Only to see a skyscraper collapsing on that vast expanse of land, with the junction of the two districts as the dividing line.

As if dissolved, human civilization was all but shattered in front of all the players.

Buildings and houses high into the sky, long bridges and high towers, overpasses ......

Crossroads of former traffic, ancient vicissitudes of historical buildings ......

In the midst of the city, all memories of mankind disintegrated. The view was magnificent as the last splendor of the end, bathed in the last rays of the setting sun, tens of thousands of humans ran out of the city in a frenzy.

When the city collapsed to the last brick and mortar, the giant black tower that hovered right above the city flashed a white light. It said faintly in a calm voice, "Dingdong! Disappearance of Huaxia Area 1 is complete."

That one sentence fell, and it was as if a pause button had been pressed on everything.

All of the players who hadn't yet run out of the range of Huaxia Zone 1 all stopped in place, some of them were still in a fleeing stance, and some of them were only a few short meters away from the Beijing boundary. However they stopped.

Fu Wen Sheng saw a young woman running through the ruins at the junction of the Changping and Haidian districts, stopping violently. Just half a meter in front of her, a glowing white wall rose up, enveloping her and the entire city of Beijing in a curtain of light.

With a crisp crumbling sound, more than 10,000 players shattered and disappeared into the earth.

That black tower located over the city also let out a soft ringing sound and turned into a dazzling white light, completely dissipating.

It all happened in just five minutes.

"Dingdong! 2,118 Black Towers randomly disappeared on June 19, 2018."
