Chapter 39: The Castle

The army of Darkridge Demons stopped on the shore of the lake, and the leader of the team was scheming, believing that there was fraud in it, and did not dare to set foot on the lake, so he ordered the whole army to wait, trying to rely on the flying Split-footed Demons to deal with the two enemies.

But the number of Splitterfoot Demons is limited after all, and because of the wide wingspan, they are restrained by Erica's gusts, and they cannot break through the hurricane barrier. Chrissy was being pulled by her towards the other side of the lake.

As the prey was about to flee, the team of Darkridge Demons began to get agitated, and some of the young Darkridge Demons suggested that they should chase after them immediately, even if the ice shattered, swimming could keep up with the two of them, and the enemy could not be allowed to run away like that. Some of the Darkridge Demons who had been to the ice in the morning said that the ice was very solid, and there were no traps under the ice, so they could chase after it with confidence.

Hearing this, the voices in the army supporting stepping on the frozen lake became louder, but the leader was still hesitant.

Seeing that Erica was about to drag Chrissy out of the lake, some anxious Darkridge Demons finally couldn't help it, and brazenly stepped on the ice and attacked the two of them.

The Dark Spine Demon Leader originally thought that these stunned young men would definitely fall into a trap and die. But they never expected that they would run unhindered to the middle of the lake, and there was still no sign of the trap triggering.

The credit can't be snatched away by a few young Dark Spine Demons, and the team leader panics.

"Rush!" it shouted in Void Language.

At his command, nearly a hundred Darkridge demons rushed into the frozen lake, roaring and pounced on Erica and Chrissy.

Chrissy, who was sitting on the ground and being dragged, saw this scene and smiled for the first time in a long time.

She raised her right hand and shook it lightly at the ice, and the entire frozen lake that she and her team had spent all night creating collapsed.

A golden rope flies in and carries the two sisters to shore before they fall to the surface.

The Darkridge Demons were not so lucky, and without exception they fell into the water, and were flopping on the icy lake.

What awaits them is, of course, more than just a cold shower.

Li Jinyi and Lena appeared on the lake in a small boat that changed with the blessing of a thousand phases, and after arriving at the predetermined position, Erica immediately summoned a gust of wind to lift them into the air, and then, at the same time, the two of them urged the 50 thunder runes and 50 lightning runes that had been prepared at the same time, and started an electric shock show against the lake below.

The massive electric current from the thunderstorm exploded in the middle of the lake, turning the entire lake into an electrocution chamber for the Darkridge Demons. The monsters' bodies began to twitch, and puffs of green smoke came out of the exposed parts, and gradually, they lost consciousness under the strong electric current, and they all sank to the bottom of the lake and suffocated.

There were also some that floated up, but they were not dark spine demons, they were mutant fish that were electrocuted, and the poor mutant fish were electrocuted early in the morning before they could think about what to eat for breakfast, and they were inexplicably electrocuted and floated to the surface of the lake with their white bellies.

Fortunately, the fish have mutated, and electrocuting them is good for the environment. However, electric fish is illegal, and you must not imitate it outside the Void Enveloping Area.

The split-footed demons in the sky did not escape this catastrophe, and were pressed directly to the surface of the lake by Erica with a strong wind, and they had a thick and painful kiss with the current.

After a few minutes, the lake gradually calmed down, and the two people on the lake returned to the shore, and everyone high-fived in celebration.

"Well, my sister and I are doing okay!" said Erica proudly.

"It's perfect, Chrissy is like she really ran and fell, and Erica's desperate look of dragging her sister is also in place, it's a shame that you two sisters don't go to be actors. Lu Xin applauded and flattered.

Erica said with disgust on her face, "The words that come out of your mouth always feel disgusting." ”

"Hahaha, everyone cooperates very tacitly. Li Jinyi said with a smile on the side.

"Ahem, don't be in a hurry to be happy, what we cleaned up is just some miscellaneous soldiers, the real boss hasn't appeared yet, everyone didn't sleep well last night, rest first, and go to the periphery of the castle to reconnoiter later, and then make plans." Lena reminded.

"Well, let's go directly to the small town to rest, as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest, without the patrol guards, there is less risk of location exposure, and it is close to the castle, convenient for reconnaissance, if you guess correctly, the Void General of this place must be in that castle." Lu Xin said to everyone.

Li Jinyi nodded in agreement, and everyone drove around the lake on off-road motorcycles and entered the lakeside town under the shade of trees.

The team infiltrated a house where they could observe the movement of the castle gate for repairs, and the team members took turns to keep watch, Li Jinyi was the first on duty, the girls slept in the bedroom, and Lu Xin fell asleep on the sofa.

It didn't take long for Lu Xin to feel someone slapping his face in his sleep.

"Wake up, wake up. Li Jinyi's voice came from front of him.

Lu Xin woke up, hiccuped, stretched his waist and asked, "Is it my turn so soon?" ”

"It's not there yet. Li Jinyi frowned slightly, and then said, "It's just that I feel that the castle is too quiet, and there is no one at the gate, so it stands to reason that at least someone should come out to reconnoitre." ”

"Obviously, I knew that I didn't have enough manpower, so I had to stay in the castle and resist, we all killed so many of them, why did they come out and send them to death?" Lu Xin spread his hands, and the expression on his face was full of reason.

"I still don't think it's that simple. Li Jinyi shook his head, "Why don't you find a place to sneak in and have a look?"

Lu Xin brewed a cup of instant coffee, was silent for a long time, and said, "Okay, wait for me to leave a note for Lena and them on the table." ”

Two minutes later, the two went down to the bottom of the building, and although there were no patrols in the city, they still only took the small path, trying to hide their whereabouts. When they got closer to the castle, they realized that there was a moat around the castle.

Coming to the townhouses on the banks of the moat, on the opposite bank is the high walls of the castle. Li Jinyi took a telescope and looked inside.

"Look, there are a lot of explosives tied under the stone bridge at the entrance to the castle. He handed the telescope to Lu Xin in horror.

Lu Xin took the telescope and looked at the bottom of the bridge, and sure enough, under the bridge deck, a large number of dark purple bombs were bound by the void metal mesh.

"No wonder no one came out, they wanted to create the illusion of an empty city, lure us to attack directly from the main gate, and then they detonated bombs and wiped us out. Hmph, the idea is good, but this trick is too outdated, and only a fool will be fooled. Lu Xin chuckled.

Li Jinyi touched his chin and said thoughtfully:

"I'm afraid there will be traps in the castle. ”

"Well, it's all here, you might as well go inside and scout it. Lu Xin looked at the side of the castle, pointed to a relatively inverted wall, and said, "There is a blind spot, we can dive across the moat to the bottom of it, and then use the moon spirit rope to hook directly to the roof." ”

Li Jinyi nodded and said: "The open-air part of this castle occupies a large proportion, and you should be able to see the internal movement well on the roof, let's go." ”

The two quickly came to the bank of the moat and dived deep into the moat under the cover of the low trees along the river.

It was already November, and the sunshine in the Void shrouded area was not enough, and coupled with the snowfall caused by Chrissy last night, the biting cold of the river instantly made the two of them feel a lot more energetic.

Quietly diving under the high walls of the castle on the other side of the river, Lu Xin quickly popped out the Moon Spirit Rope towards the roof, but did not pull himself up directly, because it would be difficult to control the speed, and if there were traps on the wall, there was no time to react.

He controlled the Moon Spirit Rope to continue to stretch, and Li Jinyi climbed up the wall along the rope, followed by Lu Xin.

A cold wind blew, and the two of them, who were so cold that they were soaking wet, shivered.

"I'm a little envious of the ninjas who left the original castle now, it is said that they can suppress their temperature perception, stay in the ice water for half a day, and come out like no one else. Lu Xin said while trembling.

"Others have learned this skill after many days and nights. Li Jinyi sniffled, "If we practice hard, maybe we can do it." ”

Arriving at the castle's herringbone roof made of red tiles, the two of them quickly took out a blazing charm and slowly urged it to dry their clothes.

The melting warmth made the two gradually relax, Lu Xin was not careful, his feet slipped on the ground, and he accidentally kicked off a large tile, and the more than ten pounds of tiles fell down the wall dozens of meters high, and fell into the icy river with a "poof".

He swallowed his saliva, and fine sweat oozed from the corners of his forehead, but fortunately it was just a tile, and if he fell down, he was afraid that he would not be able to get up.

After the clothes were dried from the inside out, the two of them crawled to the tip of the herringbone roof and looked inside the castle.

The castle has two large courtyards, the front and the back, surrounded by tall houses. The exterior of the front yard was connected to the castle gate, behind which were a dozen or so Darkridge Demon infantry in ambush. In the center of the front yard perched a giant split-footed demon, about eight meters tall and with a wingspan of perhaps ten meters.

The front and back yards are separated by a spire, and it is currently impossible to see what is hidden in the building.

There was not a single figure in the backyard, but unlike the front yard, there was a tall ivory tower at the innermost end of the backyard.

"Could that giant Splitfoot Demon be the Void General of this area? Lu Xin pointed to the front yard and said.

Li Jinyi pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, I checked it on the Void Guide, although the Dark Spine Demon and the Split-Footed Demon are both low-level Void creatures, but the IQ of the Dark-Ridged Demon is close to that of humans, and the IQ of the Split-Footed Demon is similar to that of large birds, there is no such thing as birds leading people to fight, at most, birds are used by people, and there should be a more powerful existence here than that giant Split-Footwing Demon." ”

"Such a big monster, it can fly, there will be a lot of trouble fighting with it, we can control the battlefield in the building as much as possible, so that the giant split-footed demon will not affect anything," Lu Xin gestured with his fingers on the tall building that surrounded the castle.

"Indeed, if it's not time for a formal battle, it's better to come to this position first, and then sneak into the spire building between the inner front yards from here to investigate what's in there. If you don't get it, run to that ivory tower in the backyard and have a look. I have a feeling that the Void Generals are hiding in one of these two buildings. Li Jinyi said.

Lu Xin nodded and said, "Then it's decided, let's go back and talk to Lena and them, hey, but before that, there is a very important question in front of the two of us." ”

His face suddenly became solemn.

"What's the problem?" Li Jinyi was a little puzzled.

"We'll have to swim back from the moat first. Lu Xin had a desolate smile on his face.
