The dry well was very deep. Following the rope, Gray dived for seventy or eighty meters before finally reaching the bottom of the dry well.
Click!
There was a sound of something being crushed. Gray looked down and saw that it was a withered bone. It was the shin bone of this withered bone that he had just trampled.
On the battlefield, Gray had seen countless corpses. Naturally, Gray was not afraid of a mere skeleton. He squatted down and looked at the skeleton.
The bones of the white bones have become extremely loose and fragile, and can be easily crushed to pieces with your feet, at least over the past few hundred years.
He raised his eyes and looked forward. There was also a skeleton not far away. He walked over to investigate and found that this was also an extremely ancient skeleton.
Looking in the direction where the skeleton fell, a deep passage appeared in front of him, and within the passage, there were more than 10 hazy white-light creatures.
These white lights were floating in the air, seeming to have discovered him, and wanted to fly here, but when they were about to leave the passage, they seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall, making it difficult to leave the passage.
They were like wild beasts upon seeing their prey, whimpering unwillingly, and kept hitting the invisible wall, but they couldn't break it open.
"really!"
Seeing these ghosts, Gray was not surprised, but showed a serious expression.
He had already made a guess in this regard when he heard the sound before, but now it was confirmed.
Gray has dealt with ghosts no less than several times. He has seen abandoned villages full of ghosts. He has also seen hundreds of thousands of ghosts walking in the night. He has also seen fox beasts that can control ghosts.
Gray knew a lot about ghosts, so after hearing the whimpering sound, he immediately judged that it should be the voice of a ghost.
"I didn't expect the secret room of the castle to be here!"
When he visited the castle before, Gray searched to see if he could find the secret room of the castle, but found nothing.
Unexpectedly, the secret room of the castle was actually in this dry well. If he hadn't heard the roars of these ghosts, he might not have been able to find this secret room for a long time.
"Is it some kind of rune mechanism that blocks these ghosts?"
At the entrance of the passage, from Gray's perspective, there was nothing there, no walls, no barriers or anything like that, but the ghost was blocked there, preventing the ghost from coming out.
This made Gray curious. This was the first time he had seen something that could block ghosts.
He walked over.
Woohoo!
Seeing Gray approaching, these ghosts roared even more fiercely and kept attacking, but they were blocked by an invisible invisible barrier and could not rush out of the tunnel.
Pulling out the sword from his waist, Gray tried to stab it forward.
With his current strength, he will naturally not be afraid of mere ghosts, and he definitely needs to explore the secret room this time. In the process, he must enter this passage. He wants to see if there is an invisible barrier at the entrance to seal the passage. got up.
The sword body did not encounter any obstacles, and easily passed through the entrance of the passage and entered the passage. There was no invisible barrier like he had guessed.
Seeing the sword extending in, a ghost rushed towards the sword, and the cold aura it carried that could freeze a person's soul immediately spread to the sword.
However, the sword is a dead object, so naturally it will not be attached to these ghosts, and these ghosts will pass through the sword.
The unwilling ghost returned again, flying around the sword.
Crackling!
A trace of thunder and lightning ability was attached to the sword, and a purple thunder and lightning suddenly appeared on the sword. For Gray, it could be said that it was less than 1% of the strength of lightning, but it brought devastating power to these ghosts.
Just being splashed by lightning sparks, these ghosts screamed, their bodies quickly annihilated and collapsed, and finally all the dozens of ghosts disappeared.
After killing all the ghosts, Gray reached into the tunnel and his hand penetrated easily. This invisible barrier that could block the ghosts could not stop him either.
He strode inside. He would explore such a secret room no matter what.
Going forward, he saw more than a dozen skeletons. The degree of weathering was different, and they were obviously people from different periods. If Gray's guess was correct, those ghosts should have been the remains of the owners of these skeletons after their death. It should be a place that breeds ghosts.
The tunnel curves downward, obviously going deep into the ground. The surrounding walls and floors are all made of a very hard stone. Even Gray can hardly leave any traces of damage on this stone.
This couldn't help but make Gray look forward to it. For a secret room built with such precious stone materials, the treasures contained in it must be extremely precious.
Of course, I can't help but be careful. This secret room may be indispensable for a mechanism, and the power of the mechanism may not be small.
Especially the dozen or so skeletons before. Gray had inspected them and found that all the skeletons were extremely well preserved. There were no wounds left by sharp blades or other attacks. This made him wonder how these people died.
Wave!
Suddenly, a strange invisible wave suddenly appeared. It was formless, invisible, and imperceptible. Gray was swept by this invisible wave without even realizing it.
"hiss-"
Gray suddenly groaned in pain and pressed his head hard with his hands.
Just at this moment, he actually felt a pinprick-like feeling, as if his soul was being pulled outward by a big invisible hand, like pulling out a carrot.
"What kind of attack is this...?"
Gray took a breath. With his level as a wild-blooded warrior, he had been hit without even realizing it. One can imagine how terrifying this kind of attack was.
Now he finally understands how those people died. There is no doubt that these people must have been killed by this invisible attack. It is for this reason that their skeletons can remain intact. There is no visible trace on the bones. No trace of injury.
Those people were probably the ones who discovered the secret of this dry well before him. They wanted to explore and obtain the treasure in the secret room, but they died silently here.
"Could this be a soul attack?"
It didn't hurt the body, but it made people die suddenly, and the dead people turned into ghosts, which made him have to suspect that this was a method of soul attack.
Although he had never seen a soul attack before, he was almost 90% sure that the attack he just suffered was definitely a soul attack.
"This secret room may be more dangerous than I thought!"
Gray's face was full of solemnity. The soul's attack was almost difficult to defend against, and the most terrifying thing was that it only targeted the soul. The body's defense was completely useless. No matter how powerful the body was, the soul would be killed immediately if it was too fragile.
Fortunately, his realm has now reached that of a Barbarian Blood Warrior. Under the nourishment of his own realm, his soul must be stronger than that of ordinary people, so he was able to withstand the ethereal soul attack just now.
"The fox-shaped blood beast that I met last time that can control ghosts, I wonder if it can have similar soul attacks?"
He couldn't help but think of the fox-shaped blood beast that he encountered in a forest that could manipulate souls. He wondered if the fox-shaped blood beast with wild-level strength had mastered similar soul attacks.
If the fox-shaped blood beast also mastered similar soul attacks, then he could be called extremely lucky at that time. If the fox-shaped blood beast used soul attacks on him, he might have avoided it at that time.
Originally, he had thought about hunting that fox-shaped blood beast some time ago. Although he was only a barbaric blood warrior now, his combat power had reached the wild level, and he had even killed a barren blood warrior. Logically speaking, he already had The ability to hunt down that fox-shaped blood beast.
But now that I think about it, I feel that it is too unsafe. If the fox-shaped blood beast has similar soul attack capabilities, his powerful physical defense will not have the slightest effect. After all, it is an attack against the soul.
"Do you want to continue?"
Gray's face was solemn. The danger of this secret room exceeded his expectation. It was only the initial penetration, and there were such dangerous rune mechanisms. If it continued to go deeper, would there be more dangerous mechanisms
"Is this castle really a building from the imperial period?"
Such a dangerous mechanism, even compared to the last mechanism in the King's Cemetery, is not much better.
He had to suspect that this building was from the Empire period, which was more glorious than it is now, and the identity of its owner was probably not simple. Even in the Empire period, the person who would build such a secret room must not be a simple person.
"Try to explore further, and if it doesn't work, go back immediately!"
Gritting his teeth, Gray decided to explore some distance further.
Although that kind of invisible soul attack is dangerous and impossible to defend against, he should be able to withstand it with his level as a barbarian blood warrior.
Wave-
Gray moved forward cautiously, being extremely careful with every footfall. After walking for more than 10 meters, another invisible wave suddenly swept towards Gray, and Gray couldn't help but cover his head in pain.
After standing there for a moment and recovering, Gray continued to move forward.
Wave, wave, wave!
After walking more than 20 meters, he encountered the invisible soul attack again.
After walking more than 10 meters, he encountered another wave of invisible soul attacks.
After walking more than 30 meters, he encountered another wave of invisible soul attacks.
Gray had suffered four waves of invisible soul attacks, and the severe pain caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead. He was a little hesitant to continue moving forward.
"Well, in front?"
Turning a corner, he suddenly discovered that there was no longer an empty tunnel dozens of meters ahead, but a room with a stone platform and other furnishings. He was obviously about to reach the secret room.
The secret room was right in front of him, and there was no way he could give up at this moment. He gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.
