Chapter 53

The spiral staircase is in disrepair, and people squeaking when they step on it, and in such a quiet castle, the sound is several times more amplified than usual.

Jian Lu had already heard the strange sound coming from upstairs, a bit like the sound made by animals.

Judging from his experience in playing games and fighting monsters, this castle has a total of seven floors, and the bottom is the lowest level of undead, the higher the up, the higher the difference between the undead, maybe on the top floor, the level of the undead must be difficult to deal with, he has to be prepared.

Sure enough, as soon as I got upstairs, a gust of wind blew in my face.

Hines reacted very quickly, the sword in his hand was swung out at the first time, and a golden streamer dragged up on the sword, and with a snap, he saw a pile of severed bones on the ground, looking at the shape of those bones, it was very similar to the skeleton of a cat, and the texture of these bones was more snow-white and delicate than the skeleton soldiers in the hall on the first floor, it should be a third-order undead beast.

Just thinking about it, they heard the sound of light footsteps, and the two looked up, and saw that dense undead animals appeared from the direction leading to the entrances of each passage, they had cats, dogs, wolves, and demonic beasts, and looking at the color of their bones, they were all third-order undead.

Hines stepped forward and kicked the undead wolf that was rushing towards Jian Lu and smashed it against the wall, and the undead wolf fell apart. But even if it falls apart, as long as it doesn't turn into bone meal, it can still be reassembled, dragging the leg that is missing a leg bone and rushing over again.

Jian Lu's hands quickly pinched, his mouth moved silently, and soon a large magic was formed, and a blazing white holy light lit up, and wherever the white light passed, the group of undead animals turned into bone powder and fell to the ground, spreading a thick layer of white powder on the ground.

After destroying the army of undead animals on the second floor, Jian Lu's magic power was also a little exhausted, so he hurriedly took out the magic potion prepared in advance to replenish it.

"Do you want to meditate?" Hines asked with concern, he knew more about Jian Lu's strength than Jian Lu himself - he was secretly estimating the difference in strength between the two every day in order to prepare for the future.

Jian Lu shook his head, stretched out his hand, and a gust of wind blew, and the white bone meal on the ground swept out of the window with the wind, leaving only some old stains on the ground.

The two of them looked down on the second floor, and found it empty and nothing useful, so they went to the third floor.

When you get to the third floor, it's very quiet, unlike on the first and second floors, where you're about to be attacked by an army of the undead. But the more this is the case, the more people dare not take it lightly.

The two walked slowly along the passage, the surroundings were gloomy, and the light presented a kind of interlacing of light and shadow, giving people an illusion of vision, and at the same time it could also affect people's psychology. However, Jian Lu and Hines are both psychologically good, after all, they have been trained in the gray mist space, and in comparison, the castle of the dead is not so terrifying.

Suddenly, there was a gurgling sound, and the holy light danced on the tips of Jian Lu's fingers, and the holy light halo spread, dispelling the gloom around him.

Jian Lu's eyes were fixed on a mural on the wall of the corridor, which was originally hung well, but when they walked by, it suddenly hung crookedly.

Hines straightens the crooked mural with his magic sword.

The two stood in front of the mural and looked at it.

The mural is very brightly colored, depicting a happy picnic for a family of four, golden sunlight, emerald green meadows, and a very luxuriant camphor tree, under which a huge white dining table is spread, two men and women with only their backs sitting next to each other, looking at the two children running on the grass, and a puppy chasing after the children.

Just looking at this painting makes people feel a strong sense of joy and happiness, and it is obvious that the artist's heart must be full of happiness when he paints it.

Jian Lu looked at it for a while, and noticed a trace of ink staining behind the camphor tree, which ruined the overall sense of the painting, and people couldn't help but want to reach out and wipe it away. His hand was just outstretched, but it was quickly retracted, and a fire burned the painting.

When the painting burned to ashes, there seemed to be some fluctuation in the air, very subtle, Jian Lu concentrated, but could not catch it.

After the burning, he said to Hines, "Alright, let's go up to the fourth floor." โ€

Hines didn't ask him why he burned the painting, nodded at him, and went to the fourth floor.

When they reached the fourth floor, it was still quiet, and the two of them rummaged through all the rooms on the fourth floor, and found that it was very clean, not even a single cobweb, and it seemed to maintain the scene when the master was there, and even the clothes hanging on the clothes on the ruby-encrusted hangers were as new as if they had just been ironed.

The two found a lot of gold coins and gems in a bedroom that was clearly the owner.

Hines's eyes lit up, and he unceremoniously rolled all of them into the spatial ring.

Jian Lu knew his virtue, but he didn't care, and let him go.

After rummaging through the fourth floor, he didn't find any dangerous storage, which made Jian Lu more and more vigilant, walking here, he felt the strangeness of this castle, and even didn't trust the information given by the black market, obviously saying that it was a nobleman who was retaliated by the necromancer, but was the necromancer full of food and nothing to do, and after the revenge, he still let people maintain the original state of this ancient castle? There's something strange about it.

With a thought, the system map lit up.

The system map quickly depicts a three-dimensional representation of the castle, with red dots of light representing the undead.

Jian Lu's gaze was fixed on the red dot in the center of the hall on the first floor.

The system is not so humane, and it also gives you the strength of the strange mark, no matter how big or small, strong or weak, there is only one red dot. There is also a red dot in the center of the hall on the first floor, could it be that the undead have not been eliminated?

Then he looked at the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors of the castle, where there were hundreds of red dots, the sixth floor was twenty, and the seventh floor was only one.

Jian Lu looked at it for a while, and suddenly said to Hines, "Let's go, let's go back to the first floor." โ€

"What's wrong?" Hines looked at him strangely.

"Turn back first."

Seeing his eyebrows condensed, Hines ran with him to the stairs without saying a word.

It's just that when they walked to the staircase, Fang raised his foot, and the staircase seemed to suddenly weather, and the outstretched foot hung in the air, and under their gaze, with a bang, the spiral staircase from the first floor to the fourth floor turned into powder, as if it had gone through countless years, and it finally rotted into powder.

Footsteps sounded upstairs, and Hines grabbed Jian Lu and jumped from the fourth floor.

Jian Lu threw a light wind technique to the two of them.

Hines raised his magic sword and slammed it with the bone sword from above, stopping the sneak attack of an undead animal with bone wings. Jian Lu also flicked a holy light, and the wings of the undead animal vibrate, and he quickly dodged. But it can avoid one, but it can't avoid the second, third, and fourth...... Or even hundreds.

Jian Lu threw out all the holy light at the bottom of his box, and the space was so big, even if the undead animal flew up hard, it was still smashed by the holy light, and its wings were hit by the holy light and turned into bone meal. Without the support of bone wings, the undead animal fell faster than they did, slamming to the ground and scattering bones.

Hines and Jian Lu finally landed safely.

There were other voices from above, Jian Lu looked up, and saw those undead who poked their heads out from the fifth and sixth floors, their eyes were dancing with cyan flames, and seeing that they were about to jump down, they hurriedly said to Hines, "Quick, you use your magic sword โ–กโ–ก the center of this hall and explode it." โ€

The place that Jian Lu refers to is where the red light in the system is located.

It's obviously an empty hall, but the red light stays there, and it's impossible to get tired of it. Especially the undead above saw their actions, they were so anxious that they jumped down directly, like dumplings.

Jian Lu unfolded a scroll and threw it up. The scroll cracked in midair, and a burst of holy light lit up, and the undead who had jumped down also melted in the holy light.

Taking advantage of Jian Lu's time to stop those undead, Hines jumped in a few steps to the direction that Jian Lu was pointing, raised the magic sword in his hand and thrust it hard. into the smooth floor tiles.

The golden fighting qi on the magic sword was like a burning flame, corroding the smooth floor tiles, and in an instant, on the ground of the entire hall, with the magic sword as the center, the traces of spider webs spread all the way to the wall, and then after Hines pulled out the sword, there was a loud bang, and the ground where the magic sword was inserted exploded.

With a blistering speed, Hines protected Jian Lu from the rocks that came at him.

Just as the ground exploded, in a short period of time, an ominous aura permeated the entire castle, and even the sky outside the window turned black, and the wind suddenly rose, as if some terrible dark creature was about to be born.

Jian Lu erected a magic light shield on his body, protecting the two of them inside.

At this time, he stared at the place of the explosion, and his heart was once again swiped by the groove.

Okay, there is no such thing as a secret room? Play with me?

Hines seemed to know the complaint in his heart, and said, "Jane, this is not an underground secret room, this is obviously a tomb. "So, if it weren't for Jian Lu's reminder, who would have known that there was a tomb under this castle?

As the two spoke, a terrifying sound sounded, and the ominous aura in the air became more and more intense, making both of them a little uncomfortable.

Then they saw a withered hand rise from the exploding kang, and soon saw a skinny, dried corpse jump out. It was covered in a layer of rotting flesh, as well as peeled skin, revealing the bloody musculature inside, and the whole person looked disgusting.

But their eyes were fixed on what the dry corpse was holding.

It was a scepter, its whole body was golden red, and the head of the snake at the top was studded with emeralds, and it was impossible to say that this was one of the purposes of their trip.
