But how could he solve puzzles when he didn't even know where he was? The outside world was too unsatisfactory.
"No way, I'd rather fight those starving wolves again. I hate this kind of thing the most."
Jiang Fan had no choice but to sit down and meditate, looking at everything around him, his mind working at full speed.
All these puzzle-solving tasks before were handled by Dai Xiaomei, or rather, Zhou Niannian. He had never solved such things himself.
It wasn't that Jiang Fan lacked the ability or for other reasons, but simply because he was too annoyed by the puzzle-solving process.
However, in his current situation, he was powerless. He could only search for crucial clues to the puzzle nearby.
Looking at the unfamiliar symbols one by one, Jiang Fan found them difficult to decipher and finally resorted to random combinations.
He expected that after combining them, at best, the combination would be wrong, and these things would rearrange themselves. But to his surprise, after he arranged them, countless pits appeared on the surrounding stone walls, firing many arrows.
The arrows rained down on Jiang Fan like a downpour, while Jiang Fan furiously counterattacked with his small fire axe, blocking all the arrows that were about to hit him.
Fortunately, Jiang Fan was agile, or he would have been shot into a pretzel by these arrows.
"That was close, damn it. I can't keep testing like this. If I continue, I'll probably die here, shot into a hedgehog by their arrows."
Jiang Fan abandoned the idea of generating variables through quantity and could only sit down and slowly ponder the answer.
Suddenly, Jiang Fan saw a familiar part.
Back on Golden Coast, he seemed to have seen this pattern before.
And this corner was exactly a part of that pattern. A pattern instantly appeared in Jiang Fan's mind. Jiang Fan did not dare to hesitate and immediately began to reassemble it.
He discovered that there was a missing piece of the pattern at the end, which baffled Jiang Fan. Could this pattern be flawed, making it impossible for him to escape?
"Absolutely not. This pattern must have a rule. The pattern in the middle must be missing somewhere."
Looking at the blank space, Jiang Fan tried hard to recall the clues about that pattern.
"I remember there was a wolf's head in the middle, why did this pattern disappear?"
"Wait, a wolf's head? Does that mean I have to cut off the heads of the wolves on the first floor and place them here?"
No sooner said than done, as soon as Jiang Fan thought of this idea, he rushed down to the first-floor level.
After bringing up a wolf's head, he decisively placed it on the stone gate, and found that the stone gate actually opened.
However, this also consumed a lot of Jiang Fan's time.
Afterward, Jiang Fan continued to climb upwards.
He found that the subsequent levels were mostly encounters with packs of wolves, but their numbers kept increasing, and Jiang Fan's pressure kept rising.
Fortunately, these starving wolves were not monsters, and their meat was edible. Jiang Fan directly used their fur and bones to start a fire.
He also gathered some tinder from the surrounding area.
In this way, Jiang Fan's food problem was solved.
Although he couldn't get water, it could sustain him until the top of the tower.
"Damn it, the number of these wolves is increasing. If I go any higher, I'm afraid I won't be their match."
As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands, let alone a pack of wolves. They had more than four hands combined, enough to tear Jiang Fan to shreds.
"If you want to play this game with me, then don't blame me for being impolite."
"At worst, we'll go down together. I don't believe you can trap me here forever."
Jiang Fan was extremely angry because he kept climbing up but still hadn't seen the camera. If he continued like this, he didn't know at which level he would die, so he decided to fight a final battle with the mysterious tower.
Jiang Fan used all his strength to chop down the trees and then piled them onto the tall tower.
"I don't believe you can still attack me like this."
Jiang Fan directly set the entire hoisting tower ablaze.
At the same time, endless roars echoed from the tower that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Upon hearing this sound, Jiang Fan immediately felt that his actions were correct. The roar was so immense that there were likely thousands, even tens of thousands, of starving wolves above.
If he had continued climbing, he would have become food for the wolves halfway up.
Jiang Fan himself hid in some trees and grass, and the blood of the starving wolves coated his outer layer as a protective film.
Only when the flames began to subside did he slowly emerge.
At this time, Jiang Fan was covered in wounds, his face scarred and full of burns from the fire. However, the condition of the starving wolves was even more tragic.
Almost all the wolves had been burned to a crisp. Jiang Fan could even eat the wolf meat as he walked.
Meanwhile, it seemed as if all the levels had been instantly cleared. Jiang Fan saw the stairs reassemble themselves.
"Could it be that if I kill all these starving wolves, I can find the exit?"
Without time to think, Jiang Fan picked up his fire axe and rushed towards the top of the tower without hesitation.
As the light at the top of the tower grew brighter and brighter, Jiang Fan poked his head out and looked around from the top.
However, this scene filled Jiang Fan with despair.
At a glance, an endless golden ocean stretched out, with no end in sight.
"Damn it, I didn't expect to be unable to escape in the end."
Jiang Fan looked down at his feet, which were an endless expanse of sea, and looking outwards was a golden ocean, which was a beach.
The feeling of an endless expanse made Jiang Fan somewhat displeased.
But it was good that what was under Jiang Fan's feet was not a beach, otherwise, it would have been a problem for Jiang Fan to get down from here.
Seeing a pipe leading to the ocean below, Jiang Fan jumped down without hesitation.
As Jiang Fan's body was repeatedly bumped by the pipes, his wounds stung unbearably as they were soaked in seawater.
Before he even reached the bottom, Jiang Fan fainted again.
