Chapter 158: Vampire Castle
(Read the full text without pop-ups)
After walking in the mountains and forests for an unknown amount of time, Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng, as well as the forty or so elf captives, were finally escorted to the vampire's lair by the two vampires and their minions. [.starter]
It was a castle built on a hill. The mountain is hundreds of meters high and surrounded on all sides by cliffs, with only an extremely steep and narrow mountain path leading to the castle on the mountain.
Two vampires shrouded in a thick fog, with a dozen or so monster minions, escorted the captives up the mountain road to the castle on the mountain. Li Qing, who was still dragged by the long rope, carefully observed the layout of the vampire's lair all the way, assessing the vampire's strength.
I saw several tall and sturdy checkpoints standing layer by layer according to the mountain, stuck in the most precipitous part of the mountain road. Judging from the terrain, if it is just an ordinary cold weapon army, even if there are 100,000 troops, they will not be able to break through those levels and hit the castle. The frenzy of living corpses that makes people smell and change color is also helpless.
Of course, the simple and steep terrain is of little use to the strong. No matter how steep the terrain is, it is not worth mentioning in front of some strong people. However, there are also vampire powerhouses in the castle, and none of the minions attached to vampires are weak.
At the first level, dozens of powerful monsters are guarding you. Among them, there are more than a dozen ogres, and there is even a two-headed ogre - as a mutant variety of ogres, the two-headed ogre has both strong hand-to-hand combat ability and can use spell-like ability, and its combat power is very powerful.
And the last level in front of the castle even has two huge iron golems.
The two iron golems were five meters tall, with a rectangular body, a rectangular head, short legs, and unusually long arms, like two irradiated gibbons. In their left hand is a meteor hammer the size of a water tank, and in their right hand is an axe the size of a door panel. The shapes look ridiculous, but anyone who dares to underestimate them will pay a terrible price.
Therefore, even the average powerhouse is afraid that it is difficult to pose a threat to the vampire castle.
"Brother Qing'er, I think we're really going to be trapped here." Chu Lingfeng said suddenly.
At this point, the captives have passed the last level. Chu Lingfeng was also observing along the way, although he hadn't entered the castle yet, and he hadn't really understood the strength of the vampire, but just looking at the tip of the iceberg revealed in those few levels, it already made Chu Lingfeng feel bad.
Li Qing's feeling was also no better than Chu Lingfeng. He had already guessed that there must be more powerful people in the vampire's lair, and once he was caught, there was almost no hope of escaping - if it weren't for that, he would have taken advantage of the situation when the female vampire named Aya persuaded him to surrender.
But despite this, he still beat his spirit and smiled at Chu Lingfeng: "Don't worry, vampires don't want our lives right away, as long as we don't die, we can always find a chance." It's a big deal, I'm going to make the beautiful man plan well. ”
Chu Lingfeng said: "Hey, didn't you say before that the beautiful man's plan is ineffective against vampires?" They seem to be using us as food. ”
Li Qing explained: "I had a mistake before. I thought to myself, thinking that I, as a human being, could not have feelings for a ham or a pig, but I didn't realize that the ham or pig was different from us humans. And vampires, although they are not human, their appearance is not much different from us humans. They can communicate with us in language and even have the same hobbies in everything except food. Like music, art, fashion, or whatever...... Therefore, there is still a certain possibility of success in making beautiful men against vampires. ”
"Makes sense...... Chu Lingfeng nodded and said, "Then do you have any plans?" ”
Li Qingdao: "I haven't thought about it for a while, so let's act when the opportunity arises in the future." Well, let's just target the female vampire named Aya. ”
"Are you sure?" Chu Lingfeng tilted his head vigorously and looked at Li Qing suspiciously: "You also said before, you can't do your sister's ability!" ”
Li Qing smiled proudly: "I'm modest, do you understand modesty?" When I use my real kung fu, you will know how good I am. ”
"Really?" Chu Lingfeng looked at Li Qing suspiciously, and said, "Then you will show me a hand now?" ”
“…… Uh, okay. In fact, what Li Qing said about making a beautiful man just to cheer up Chu Lingfeng, lest she lose hope or even despair. really let him make a beautiful man, and he really hasn't been sure at all. But now that the cowhide has been blown out, it can only be hard-headed.
At that moment, he said to Aya, the female vampire who was walking not far ahead, "Hi, beautiful Miss Aya......" When he talked to Chu Lingfeng before, he used Chinese, and what he said at this time was of course the lingua franca of Calondo.
"Huh? What's the matter with you? Aya, shrouded in the thick fog, stopped, and the looming figure in the fog made a turn.
Li Qing felt Aya's gaze fall on him, and immediately showed a smile that he thought was the most charming, and said, "I suddenly thought of a very funny joke, I don't know if you have heard it......"
"I haven't heard of it." Aya directly interrupted Li Qing's words.
"Uh......" Li Qing smiled for a moment, then continued to laugh and said, "Then I'll tell you about it and make you happy, okay?" ”
"Not interested." Aya said lightly, without giving Li Qing a chance to speak, she turned around and left.
Li Qing's smile completely froze.
"This is your sister's real kung fu?" Chu Lingfeng said faintly.
"That girl is thin-skinned." Li Qing laughed dryly twice and said, "Isn't there a male vampire next to her?" I wondered if it must be because the male vampire was there, and she was too embarrassed to talk to me. When she's alone with me, she's enthusiastic. ”
Chu Lingfeng said: "...... I deeply doubt it. ”
Li Qing coughed dryly, and smiled confidently, "Trust me, that's right." My beautiful boy plan will definitely succeed, and when the time comes, there will be a singing and crying twilight love, and by the way, there will be another victorious escape, and when we get stronger, we can come back and play another vampire hunter ......"
"Just blow it!" Chu Lingfeng snorted twice, too lazy to say.
Although Li Qing's beautiful male plan is unfavorable, after this gag, Chu Lingfeng's spirit has been lifted again, and it is not in vain that Li Qing has given up his cheeks to find Aya to be bored.
As they spoke, the captives had reached the front of the castle, stepped on the wooden drawbridge in front of the moat, and headed for the dark doorway. Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng looked at the city wall, only to see a row of guards wearing full-body plate armor standing on the high city wall. The guards were all wrapped in black iron armor, and even their faces were covered with iron masks, which looked like moving iron cans.
The figures of those ironclad guards looked like human beings, but Li Qing couldn't feel the slightest breath of a living person from them. Instead, there was a cold, chilling air of death that swirled around them. At the eyes of the mask, only deep darkness can be seen.
"What kind of monster is that?" Chu Lingfeng looked at the ironclad guards on the city wall and asked.
Li Qing replied: "It should be an undead, but I don't know what kind of Dao it is." Although he had never seen the undead, he could still recognize those ironclad guards as undead by virtue of his breath.
Those ironclad guards are undead, but they are very powerful. Li Qing could barely sense that the strength of each of them was above level ten.
Compared to the previous humanoid monsters such as ogres, trolls, orcs, gray dwarves, and frost giants, the undead guards on the castle may be weaker. But the undead don't need to rest, they don't need to eat, they can be on duty 24 hours a day, and they are strictly disciplined, and they can't stop them from advancing with a single order, and they are better than those living creatures.
What's more, vampires are essentially a type of undead. It is of the same kind as the ironclad guards on the city walls. That's why vampires use the undead to guard their core area.
"Undead? Aren't the undead afraid of sunlight? ”
Chu Lingfeng looked up at the sky, it was cloudless and the sun was shining, and even the two powerful vampires had to use a thick fog to block out the sun before they could move under the sun. Once the spell is broken and the fog is lost, the two vampires will probably be wiped out. The undead guards on the city walls, obviously not as powerful as those two vampires, how could they move in the sun?
"There are many types of undead, some of them are afraid of the sun, and some are not afraid of the sun." Li Qing explained: "Common undead creatures such as skeletons and zombies are not afraid of sunlight and can move during the day. Many powerful spirits are not afraid of the sun. Those who are as afraid of light as vampires are in the minority among the undead creatures. ”
"Understood." Chu Lingfeng nodded and didn't ask any more.
After entering the gate of the castle, Li Qing and the other captives walked through the square behind the gate and turned right towards Lu into a tower.
Underneath the tower is the dungeon in the castle. Li Qing, Chu Lingfeng, and the forty or so elves were all escorted into the third floor of the dungeon and locked up in separate rooms.
It wasn't until Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng were thrown into the cell that Aya untied the long rope on their bodies.
"Didn't you say we were comfortable? Why locked us up? Li Qing moved his hands and feet, relaxed his muscles and blood, and complained to Aya outside the bars of the prison door.
Aya had removed the thick fog that enveloped her body, revealing her hot body and peugeot appearance. After listening to Li Qing's complaints, she smiled sequeductively and said, "When you are assigned a place to go, you will naturally be allowed to live in a comfortable room, change into beautiful clothes, and eat delicious food." Now, let's stay here obediently! ”
After saying that, she waved her hand at Li Qing, swung her waist, and turned away gracefully.
"Wait a minute, I still have something to say!" Li Qing said loudly, grabbing the arm-thick steel fence at the cell door. As soon as his hand touched the fence, a burst of lightning suddenly burst out from the iron fence. With a loud bang, Li Qing was bounced out of the ground by the electric light, hit the wall behind him, and smashed to the ground with a thud.
For a moment, he was covered in green smoke, his limbs were paralyzed, he couldn't move, and he couldn't even speak.
"I forgot to remind you that there is a magic array on the door of the prison, and if you touch it, it will be very uncomfortable!" Aya turned her head, looked at Li Qing and giggled, and then left without looking back.
