"Kill" was at the moment when I was about to fall into the lowest point of despair and my will collapsed. Xingtian's fighting spirit suddenly arose from the bottom of my heart, and the raging fighting spirit surged upward like fire.
After the two emotions collided wildly inside my body, they collided again outside my body. I clearly felt that the two wills collided in front of me like tangible objects. I also took a few steps back under the violent shock and stood up. He looked towards the wall again in the water.
At this time, a skeleton facing my face exploded with a big nail hole in front of my eyes. The network-like cracks started from the eyebrows of the skeleton and spread to the whole body. The snow-white human bone seemed to have been touched. As the pieces of broken ceramics exploded outwards, an idea flashed in my mind.
Those were not human bones, at least not human bones formed by natural decay. Without polishing and bleaching, human bones could not have a snow-white color, let alone a ceramic-like luster.
There was something wrong with that human bone, but instead of seeing anything fishy, I was attracted to it and walked to the wall. Moreover, before Xingtian Zhanyi took the initiative to fight back, I didn't notice anything wrong at all. What was it that attracted my attention just now
I turned to look at Ye Xun. The latter's face was also pale and bloodless, dripping with cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and shook his head at me. I don't know if he was telling me that he was fine, or that he didn't even look. Find out what's going on.
Ye Xun and I were looking at each other. The white skull had been completely exploded into pieces. I watched a green thing slipping into the water from the exploded skull. The originally dark water suddenly floated to the surface. There was a dark green light and shadow.
From my point of view, it's like someone lit an oil lamp with faint green flames in the water. The green flames on the lamp seem to follow the swaying shadow of the lamp and break out of the water at any time, or follow the waves of the water. It is sinking rapidly to the bottom of the water, making it unclear whether it is fixed in one place or whether it is rising and falling.
I made a gesture to Ye Xun, asking him to help me. I cautiously approached the light and shadow in the water, reached into the water, and captured the source of the green light in my hand.
The moment a green gem the size of an egg came into my eyes, countless strong winds suddenly rose above my head. From the corner of my vision, I saw a waterfall of black hair falling from the sky and rushing towards my eyes. I immediately shook my hand and threw the gem into the air. I raised the reverse pentagram on my palm to face the black hair above my head. film.
When I raised my hand and raised my head, the strange hair that was falling all over the sky stopped in the air for an instant, like spears that were ready to go, pointing at me from all directions. If I had been even half a step later, I would have been there. It was riddled with holes. But now, the strange hair in the sky was forced in mid-air by the star formation, and they did not dare to move at all.
I raised my hand to grab the green gem that fell from the sky, held the anti-pentagram in the air, and pushed forward half a foot. Countless hair strands retreated at the same time, suddenly shrinking into the wall, only between the cracks in the wall and the bones. Expose the ends of your hair slightly.
I held the green gem and retreated to Ye Xun: "Have you seen this thing?"
Ye Xun lowered his head and looked at the gem in his hand: "Why does this look like an eye?"
The gem indeed looked like an eye, and I could even see the light flowing through it. But my understanding of Western mythology is extremely limited, and I can't figure out the origin of this stone.
Ye Xun whispered: "Why do I feel like I have seen this thing somewhere? Why can't I remember it... Let me think about it."
While Ye Xun was still trying hard to recall the origin of the gem, I had already picked up the two-handed sword and started knocking on the wall. The more I knocked, the more I felt that there was something wrong with the sound on the wall. When I hit the edge of a white porcelain skull, I grabbed the hilt of the sword on a whim, pressed the tip of the sword between the skull's eyebrows, and suddenly stabbed into the wall. , the one and a half meter long sword immediately sank into the wall for more than half a foot, and the tip of the sword seemed to hit something metal.
I only paused for a second and immediately mobilized my inner strength, oscillating towards the sword. The two-handed sword used to chop infantrymen actually broke in two due to the shock of my internal energy. I myself dragged half of the sword back several steps.
As I stepped back, half of the sword blade stuck on the wall broke into four pieces under the aftermath of the internal force. The stones around the sword shot into the air, and the brown mud was like running water. Rolling down from the wall, a circular gate also appeared on the exploded wall.
"Gate?" I pointed the torch at the gate and saw the iron locks tightly fastened on it. Western mechanism techniques cannot be compared with the Chinese mechanism secret arts. A place that was supposed to be a mechanism gate was turned into a patch on the wall.
I knocked on the gate a few times with my sword: "Ye Xun, help me open the gate!"
Opening the gate rashly in the secret passage is actually tantamount to violating the taboo of exploring the gods.
When there is no way out, the explorer should avoid touching unknown things as much as possible. Otherwise, it will easily lead to another dangerous situation for oneself in the dead end.
But now I have reached the point where I have no way to go. If I don't open the gate, I can only go back to where I came from and find another way out. Not to mention whether I could find the exit, it was too late just in terms of time.
When I was worried about the safety of the three girls, I didn't know that those three girls were not far above Ye Xun and I.
After they were escorted out of the shelter by the Tulip family, Anne led them straight to the gate of the castle.
According to the map, coming from the front avenue, as long as you move the gargoyles on the edge of the moat, the castle's suspension bridge will automatically land. However, by the time Anne arrived at the river, the gargoyles that were supposed to be guarding the castle had disappeared.
Annie walked around the river several times: "Where are the gargoyles? Damn it, it must be Blue Devil and the others. Elena, send a signal to Blue Devil and tell him that I want to negotiate with him."
Adventurers also have their own way of communicating with each other, but it is much simpler than that of the Detector and the Ghostless Sect, and can usually only be used to express general meanings.
Elena took a flashlight, pointed the beam into the air, and pushed the switch several times.
The towering light pillar flashed several times in the night before Elena extinguished the light.
Just a few seconds later, the flashlight was turned on again, and the flashlight light was driven at the same frequency.
Elena pushed the flashlight several times over and over again, then shook her head helplessly and said: "The Blue Devil didn't respond!"
Annie asked anxiously: "How could this happen? Where is the Blue Devil? Where is the Gargoyle?"
In fact, Wugui Sect, Cross Group, and adventurers have all approached the castle quietly. However, they all hid near the moat and did not show up. The closest person to the Tulip Family was not even fifty meters away.
Even though Huang Cang of the Wugui Sect was hiding, he still stood upright with his hands on his shoulders, but he was just standing in the shadows: "Lan Moying, don't you choose to go out and negotiate with them?"
"Is there anything to talk about?" Lan Moying sneered: "The prerequisite for negotiation is to have enough chips. We know all the things Tulip knows; we also know the things they don't know, so why bother negotiating with them? Let Wouldn't it be better for them to enter the castle and lead the charge?"
Lan Moying paused and said, "The only thing I'm interested in right now is where is Wang Huan? What is he doing?"
"Wang Huan?" Huang Cang said disdainfully: "I bet you that if Wang Huan doesn't die, he will definitely see the corpses of his companions when he comes back. Tulip's pirates are not patient people. After a while, they will take action. kill."
Lan Moying smiled and said: "Okay, I'll bet you half of the harvest that Wang Huan can show up in time to rescue those three girls."
Huang Cang was suddenly moved: "Are you very confident in Wang Huan?"
"Gambling? Gambling is actually about courage." Lan Moying said with a smile: "You may not lose if you take action."
"I made a bet with you!" Huang Cang raised his head again and looked at the Tulip family. Annie was already confused: "Arthur, where did you say the gargoyles here went?"
Arthur asked, "Are you sure there are gargoyles here?"
In European mythology, gargoyles are not representatives of evil, but are hung on the corners of churches to repel evil and protect the church. In European-style buildings, the role of gargoyles is mostly as rain leaks on the corners of the house, and they are usually not repaired at the door.
Annie said anxiously: "Look at the map, there are two gargoyles clearly marked on it."
Arthur gently pushed away the map in Anne's hand: "The purpose of your search for the gargoyles is simply to lower the suspension bridge. In fact, lowering the suspension bridge does not necessarily require moving the gargoyles. The suspension bridge can be released by letting people sneak into the castle."
"Substitute?" When Annie turned to look at the moat, the faces of the Tulip members changed slightly.
As the most important defensive link of ancient cities, moats are not as narrow as shown in movies. Taking the Xiangyang moat in China as an example, the widest part is more than two hundred meters. Many moats play an important role even in modern wars. In the famous Hengyang Defense Battle, the Chinese troops defended Hengyang for 47 days, and tens of thousands of Japanese troops were killed outside the city. It was precisely because the Hengyang moat restricted the enemy's mechanized troops.
Although the moat of the dark castle cannot be compared with the thousand-year-old city, its width is also difficult to leap through thin air. If you want to cross the river, you have to go into the water, but the black water in the moat is enough to deter people. Who knows, what is hidden under the seemingly calm river is wooden piles, iron bars, or some kind of fatal curse.
Before Annie could speak, someone pulled the gun and pointed it at the three girls: "Let them go into the water!"
The Tulip family was tense and murderous, but the three girls were as calm as water, showing no signs of panic at all, as if the person about to be pushed into the moat was not them.
Huang Cang in the distance smiled and said: "Those three girls are good, I want them."
