"Kill—" Just when I was about to fall into a trough of despair, my will collapsed. Xingtian's battle intent suddenly counterattacked from the bottom of my heart, and the raging battle intent was like fire, rushing to the top.

After the two emotions collided wildly inside me, they collided again outside my body, and I clearly felt the two wills crash in front of me like something tangible, and I took a few steps back under the shock, and stood in the water and looked back at the wall.

At this moment, a skeleton facing my face, after a large nail hole was blown in front of my eyes, the web-like crack began to spread from the center of the skeleton's eyebrows to the whole body, and the snow-white human bone was like a piece of broken ceramic that exploded outward, and my mind also flashed with inspiration.

It is not a human bone, at least not a human bone that has been formed by natural decay, and it is impossible for a human bone to show a snow-white color without polishing and bleaching, let alone a ceramic-like luster.

There was something wrong with the human bone, but instead of seeing anything strange in my eyes, I was attracted to him and walked to the wall. Moreover, I didn't notice anything wrong at all before Xingtian Battle Intent automatically counterattacked, what was it that caught my eye just now?

I turned my head to look at Ye Xun, the latter's face was also white and bloodless, drenched in cold sweat, and 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 see what was going on.

Ye Xun and I were looking at each other, the white skeleton had been completely blown into pieces, and I watched a piece of green and shiny thing slip from the exploded skeleton into the water, and the originally dark water suddenly floated a dark green light and shadow.

From my point of view, it looks like someone lighting an oil lamp in the water with a faint green fire, and the green flame on the lamp seems to be able to break through the water at any time with the shaking shadow of the lamp, and it seems to be sinking rapidly to the bottom of the water with the waves, making it difficult to figure out whether it is fixed in one place or is rising and falling.

I made a gesture to Ye Xun and asked him to press the formation for me, and I cautiously approached the light and shadow in the water, and reached into the water to copy the source of the green light in my hand.

A green gem the size of an egg caught my eye, and countless strong winds suddenly rose above me. As far as I could see, I saw black hair like a waterfall falling from the sky, and the moment it rushed in front of my eyes, I shook my hand, threw the gem into the air, and raised the antipentagram on my palm to meet the black shadow overhead.

The one I raised my hand and raised my head, and the strange hair that fell from the sky also stopped in the air in an instant, like a spear ready to fire, pointing at me from all directions, and if I was half a step too late, I would be pierced with a thousand holes. But now, the strange hair in the sky was forced into the air by the star array, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

I raised my hand and grabbed the green gem that fell from the sky, held the antipentagram in the air, and pushed my feet forward half a foot, and the countless strands of hair retreated at the same time, and suddenly retracted into the wall, only a little hair was slightly exposed between the crack in the wall and the crack in the bone.

I held the green gem and retreated to Ye Xun's side: "Have you seen this thing?"

Ye Xun looked down at the gem in his hand: "How does this look like an eye?"

The gem really looked like an eye, and I could even see the light flowing through it. But my knowledge of Western mythology is extremely limited, and I can't think of the origin of this stone.

Ye Xun said in a low voice: "Why do I feel as if I have seen this thing somewhere? Why can't I remember...... You make me think about it. ”

Ye Xun was still desperately trying to recall the origin of that gem, and I had already picked up my two-handed sword and tapped it on the wall. The more I knocked, the more I felt that there was something wrong with the sound on the wall, and 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 against the center of the skull's eyebrows, and suddenly stabbed out into the wall, and the one-and-a-half-meter-long sword immediately sank into the wall more than half a foot, and the tip of the sword seemed to have hit something metallic.

I paused for only a second, and immediately mobilized my internal force and shook towards the sword. The two-handed sword used for infantry slashing was actually broken in two parts in the shock of my internal force, and I myself dragged half of the long sword back a few steps.

As I stepped back, the half-cut blade that was stuck in the wall broke into four under the aftermath of the internal force, and the stones around the sword burst into the air, and brown mud and sand rolled down the wall like flowing water, and a circular gate was also revealed on the blasted wall.

"Gate?" I pointed my torch at the gate, only to see the heavily fastened lock. Western Tricks can't compare to the Secret Techniques of Chinese Traps, a place that should have been made into a trap gate, but they made it into a patch on the wall.

I knocked on the gate with my sword a few times: "Ye Xun, help me open the gate!"

Rushing to open the floodgates in the middle of the secret passage is actually tantamount to committing the taboo of exploring the gods.

When there is no way out, the detective should try not to touch the unknown as much as possible, otherwise, it is easy to fill in another danger for himself in the desperate way.

But now I've reached a point where I have no way out, and without opening the floodgates, I'll have to go back and find another way. Not to mention whether I can find the exit or not, it is too late in time alone.

When I was anxious about the safety of the three girls, I didn't know that the three girls were not far from the heads of me and Ye Xun.

After they were escorted out of the shelter by the Tulip family, Anne led them straight to the castle gates.

According to the map, if you move the gargoyle at the edge of the moat from the front avenue, the castle's drawbridge will automatically land. However, by the time Anne reached the river, the gargoyle that was supposed to be guarding the castle was gone.

Anne circled around the river a few times, "Where's the gargoyle? Damn, they must have done it by the Blue Devils." Elena, send a signal to the Blue Devil that I want to negotiate with him. ”

Adventurers also have their own set of communication methods, but they are much simpler than those of the Divine Explorer and the Ghostless Sect, and can usually only be used to express a general meaning.

Elena took a flashlight and slammed the beam into the air, pushing the switch several times in succession.

Towering pillars of light flickered a few times in the night before Elena went out.

Just a few seconds later, the flashlight was turned on again, pushing the flashlight at the same frequency.

Elena pushed the flashlight several times in a row before she shook her head helplessly: "The Blue Devil didn't respond!"

Anne said anxiously, "How can this be? Where is the blue devil? Where is the gargoyle gone?"

In fact, the Ghost Sect, the Cross Order, and the adventurers had all quietly approached the ancient castle, but they were all hiding near the moat and did not appear, and the closest person to the Tulip Family was even less than fifty meters.

Even if Huang Cang of the Ghostless Sect was hiding his figure, he still stood up with his hands on his shoulders, but he was 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 premise of negotiation is that there are enough bargaining chips. We know all the things that Tulips know, and we know all the things they don't know, so why negotiate with them? Wouldn't it be better to let them go into the castle and take the lead?"

Lan Moying's voice paused: "The only thing I'm interested in now is where Wang Huan is, what is he doing?"

"Wang Huan?" Huang Cang said disdainfully: "I bet with you, if Wang Huan doesn't die, he will definitely be able to see the corpse of his companion when he comes back." Tulip pirates are not patient people, and in a few moments, they will be able to kill. ”

Lan Moying smiled: "Okay, I'll bet with you with half of the gain, Wang Huan can show up in time to save those three girls." ”

Huang Cang was instantly moved: "You have a lot of confidence in Wang Huan?"

"Gambling? Gambling is guts. Lan Moying smiled: "You may not lose if you shoot." ”

"I bet with you!" Huang Cang looked up at the tulip family again. Anne was already messed up: "Arthur, where did you say the gargoyles here went?"

Arthur asked rhetorically, "Are you sure there are gargoyles here?"

In European mythology, gargoyles are not a representation of evil, but are hung on the corners of churches to ward off evil and protect churches. In European-style architecture, the role of gargoyles, most of which is a rain drain in the corner of the house, is usually not repaired at the door.

Anne said anxiously: "Look at the map, there are two gargoyles marked on it. ”

Arthur gently pushed away the map in Anne's hand: "Your purpose in looking for the gargoyles is nothing more than to let go of the drawbridge, in fact, the suspension bridge does not necessarily need to move the gargoyle, people can let go of the drawbridge like sneaking into the castle." ”

"Substitution?" Anne turned to look at the moat, and the Tulip members' faces changed slightly.

As the most important defense link of the ancient city, the moat is not as narrow as shown in the movie, taking the domestic Xiangyang moat as an example, the widest point is more than 200 meters. Many moats will play an important role even in modern warfare, the famous Battle of Hengyang, the Xia troops held Hengyang for 47 days, and tens of thousands of Japanese troops were killed under the city, precisely because the Hengyang moat limited the enemy's mechanized troops.

Although the moat of the Dark Castle cannot be compared to that of a thousand-year-old city, its width is just as difficult to leap into 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 discourage people. Who knows, what lies beneath the seemingly calm waters is a stake, an iron bar, or some kind of deadly curse.

Before Anne could speak, someone pulled the bolt 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, and they didn't show any panic at all, as if the person who was about to be pushed into the moat was not themselves.

Huang Cang in the distance smiled and said, "Those three girls are good, this king wants them." ”
