Chapter 179: The Fallen Castle
Zhang Tong's vision was blurry, and it became clearer after about a second. The surroundings became quiet, and he was still in the forest. Only the time changed from dusk to day, and the sky and trees changed to their normal colors, as if they had left the Lotus Plain.
The sun shines on the ground through the trees. The breeze blows, and the light and shadow are dappled. It was too far away, but I couldn't feel any warmth. In this tranquil forest, there is no chirping of insects or birds. It's eerie everywhere.
Zhang Tong turned around, the demon gate disappeared, and the others also disappeared.
[Hint 1: You've entered the secret realm of killing!This secret realm can't summon war pets except hunters!]
[Tip 2: Start Recycling Mode, +20% Monster Count, +40% Health, +20% Attack, +10% Attribute!]
[Scene Tip 1: In front of you is a reclusive mage's private castle.] The castle is strictly forbidden and cannot be entered by ordinary people. It is a mysterious place that is unfamiliar to outsiders. However, the powerful magician made some fatal mistakes during a magic experiment. The monster of his own creation killed him and took over the entire castle!]
[Scenario Tip 2: You and your team members are mercenaries hired by the Adventurers' Guild.] You and your team members must unite to eliminate the monster bosses that occupy the castle, investigate the cause and effect, restore the truth of events, and find the treasure left behind by the mage. 】
Zhang Tong listened carefully to the hints and didn't think it was strange, because most of the killing scenes had a bit of a plot, and on this basis, the mission was released. At the moment, the level of contact with the secret environment is not high, so the plot is small and the content is not very complicated. At best, it's the equivalent of playing a simple indie game.
Open the taskbar and add a new task.

Secret Mission: Fallen Mage's Castle
Content: Investigate the mysterious fall of the castle and kill the magical objects that occupy the castle.
Duration: within 5 hours.
Success Award: Master's Legacy!
Failure Penalty: Reduced by 1.
————
The biggest difference between the Killing Secret Realm and the Resource Secret Realm is the mission limit. The Killing Realm must be completed or it will be considered a failed challenge and will be punished severely. The secrecy of the resource is much looser, even if you go in and sleep for a few hours, then it is automatically transmitted without much loss.
The difficulty and danger of the reclamation team has been doubled!
This 40% increase in health, 20% increase in attack and 10% increase in stats will at least double the difficulty of the secret realm!
But there are rewards and risks!
While the danger is greater, the rewards are greatly increased!
"The trajectory of this life is completely different from the previous life, and there are fewer and fewer things to be expected. Zhang Tong took out a silver snake pistol, took out the bullets, stuffed them one by one, and then took back the bomb nest. "I don't want to play too badly in this secret situation!"
Blessing [Thunder Bullet] put the silver snake on his waist, drew two long swords, and walked towards the castle.
About 100 meters away, I suddenly heard a sound in the bushes.
A graceful woman walked out, her twin peaks rounded and plump, in stark contrast to her slender waist. She holds a green longbow in her left hand and an arrow in her right hand. She will shoot arrows at any time. Her eyes are as cold as ice, and she has a noble and cold temperament.
"Is that you?" Liu Shuiyan's voice was cold, and there was a kind of indifference that kept people away from him.
Zhang Tong put away his sword and nodded, "Let's go." ”
Liu Shuiyan is slightly shorter than Zhang Tong, with a visual measurement of 1.75 meters, which is quite tall among women.
The forest is not dense, there are bushes on the ground, and wildflowers are brightly colored. It's supposed to be an energetic scene, but it always maintains an unusually deathly silence, creating an unfamiliar atmosphere.
The two didn't go far when a figure appeared in front of them.
The human body is tall, disheveled, unkempt, with a sighing beard and carrying a black cross. This is Cheng Bo, a lone wolf mercenary.
"Hey, little brother Zhang Tong, beautiful Miss Shui Yan!" Cheng Bo blinked a pair of small eyes like mung beans and showed an obscene smile: "We are really destined!"
Liu Shuiyan shot an arrow, and the arrow swept by. The sharp energy scratched a small blood mark on Cheng Bo's face.
"Beautiful young lady, I didn't offend you, why are you so angry?"
A roar sounded from behind Cheng Bo, and a blue monster rushed over. Cheng Bo reacted quickly. He grabbed the cross and held it on his chest to block the impact. However, his arm was paralyzed by his amazing strength.
[Bluewood Stallion Monster (Silver Elite), Level 20 Magical Creature, Health 1597, Magic 900, Attributes ??? Skills??? Description: Monsters made of magical materials are used to help wizards defend their territories.
In front of Cheng Bo was a short man with an arrow. He is only 1 meter tall, has no facial features, and has four "legs", so he runs very fast. A similar collision skill is not small, although Cheng Bo blocked it.
The wood monster obviously had more than one attack, and countless thin branches stretched out from the wood monster's body, ready to see Cheng Bo being tied hand and foot.
"Hmph!
Cheng Bo cast a spell on the wooden monster and tossed it aside. Wooden monsters take a fire blast that reduces damage by at least 400. The stump monster burned everywhere, but this had no effect on Cheng Bochong, and he was killed. Liu Shuiyan pulled out his longbow and shot a few arrows at the wooden monster. This wooden monster is well protected and will not take more than 200 points of damage.
Zhang Tong pulled out the silver snake.
Bang.
-820!
The stump monster appears to have been struck by lightning and falls on the spot.
Cheng Bo exclaimed, "What kind of skill is this?
Zhang Tong has no skills at all. He's just blessing [Thunderlight Bullet Company's normal attack]. If he had launched a "[Fatal Strike" shooting operation on this basis, he could have caused almost 1,500 injuries. This elite monster is basically killed in seconds.
Zhang Tong put away the silver snake and said, "Although he didn't enter the castle, there are many magical creatures here. We can't be careless!"
Cheng Bo put the cross on the ground and exclaimed in surprise: "This mysterious monster has experience, and there are many more!"
"The nature of the land of killing is different from that of resource land. The monsters in this land not only have experience, but also have more experience than the monsters in the outside world, and there is also a relationship of double experience in the land reclamation mode. Of course, there's more. This is not surprising. ”
Zhang Tong killed the Wood Monster and gained 1 kill point in addition to experience. The Wooden Monster is the lowest monster in the Fallen Mage's Castle and originally had no bonus points. Due to the peculiarity of the Reclamation Demon Squire, even the Wood Demon can score points.
The three of them continued to move in the direction of the mage castle, there were many wood monsters hidden in the woods, cyan wood monsters, and even more powerful black wood monsters, but with the strength of the three people, as long as they didn't sneak attack, there was no threat.
There are quite a few wood monsters, kill a small group, come to a small group.
Zhang Tong's blue sword kept chopping, and the wood monster was cut into several pieces several times. The speed of the gale fencing was so fast that even the iron was cut like mud. With the cooperation of Cheng Bo and Liu Shuiyan, a small group of wood monsters was eliminated.
"The monster experience is there, but it doesn't seem to fall. ”
"Special monsters in the secret realm, other monsters do not have the ability to drop items. Liu Shuiyan, you're almost 19th grade. ”
Liu Shuiyan nodded and said lukewarmly: "8% less experience." ”
"When we get to the castle, you should be able to level up." Zhang Tong looked at Liu Shuiyan and couldn't help but ask, "What did you do before?" I mean before the disaster. ”
Liu Shuiyan frowned slightly: "Why do you ask so many questions?"
Zhang Tong shrugged his shoulders: "A little curious, you are not like ordinary people, this family should be either rich or expensive?"
Cheng Bo added: "I especially hate men. There must be a story!"
Liu Shuiyan was a little unhappy: "I don't want to say, so don't ask!"
"Okay, okay! don't ask!" Zhang Tong said casually, however, she wasn't really interested. She didn't want to say. You dream about it. "Time is running out in the secret place, let's go!"
On Zhang Tong's back, Liu Shuiyan frowned slightly and bowed long. The castle is getting closer, and the number of monsters is increasing. Occasionally, there will be one or two fairly powerful leaders and monsters. However, with the cooperation of the three people, there is basically no suspense about the outcome of the battle.
"Dangdang, dang!"
Zhang Tong wields his twin swords and fights with a praying mantis. It's a silver-level monster. Attack speed is extremely fast. These two sharp swords are very sharp. Liu Shuiyan shot an arrow through the mantis's head. Zhang Tong seized the opportunity to slash. The praying mantis falls to the ground, causing 6 deaths and Zhang Tong gets 3.
Liu Shuiyan was suddenly shrouded in light, and finally rose to the nineteenth level!
Zhang Tong's experience has reached 56%. If there are no accidents, the secret border can be cleared up to level 20.
After killing the leading monster Blade Mantis, it didn't take long to leave the forest and walk through the meadow to the main entrance to the castle. Ye Qianqiu, Lin Caiyan and Sun Lin waited for a long time at the gate of the castle. Then within 15 minutes, Leng Yun, Yang Yi and Sun Lin arrived one after another.
"It's all here. Zhang Tong looked at the time: "There are still 4 hours and 10 minutes left, because the secret boundary is not big, there should be enough time, let's go in." ”
The castle is made of cyan stone and has high spires, pointed arches, and huge windows with polychrome static reliefs. Overall, it has a bit of Gothic architecture. The scale of this castle is magnificent.
Now, however, it was covered in a dark cloud, which could be felt far away. High-pitched cries or screams, often coming from the castle, are mixed with smirks that make people's hearts clear.
A dozen people came in through the main entrance, walked into the beautiful and delicate garden, walked along the cobblestone path, and came to a huge door, more than three meters high, made entirely of wood, with colorful carvings on it, and a pool of black blood, the door was open, and from inside there emanated a smell of blood and evil, as if to imply the entry of the challenger.
Zhang Tong knew that the inside of the door was the castle hall. He can quickly meet each small boss from the front and finally the big boss. As long as he manages to defeat the monster and destroy the main monster, he will be able to complete the main mission. However, it does not achieve 100% drawing completion. If it is killed outright, it will also trigger a number of magic traps and bans. This is unreasonable.
There is a hidden conspiracy in this secret area. If the hidden quest can be completed, the team will receive the biggest reward, as the rewards in the recycling mode are doubled, and the rewarded items are even more amazing.
Zhang Tong pointed to the tower on the right. "It looks like a library. Let's get in from here!"
