At the same time, at the other end of the chaotic sea of clouds, a team of trialists were walking quietly in the clouds, their footsteps and the crisp collision of the stone slab ground, constantly echoing in a gray haze, as if they were in a closed and oppressive temple.\\

"Wang Lu, do you feel that the air here is a little oppressive?"

In the silence, Aya suddenly spoke.

"The air is a little oppressive?" Wang Lu wrinkled his nose and sniffed, "Do you want to say that in the treasure house of the Golden King, a dictatorial ruler, there is a lack of democracy and freedom?" ”

"I don't know what you're talking about...... Aya" Aya sighed, "I want to say that in this place, it seems that the power of professionals will be suppressed, and it will be suppressed from the law of the roots, and there is no way to resist it. ”

Wang Lu was surprised: "There is such a thing? I didn't even notice it."

Wuxianggong is not known for his keenness, but his ethereal root is the most acute physique in the world, although he has to experience the transformation of the law in the Xiyi Continent, he will not be in a place where the law is suppressed and he will not know it

"Is the repression severe?" Wang Lu asked.

"Fortunately, here, it seems that our strength level is suppressed at the high-level intermediate level, that is, above and below Yuanying." Aya said, "Fortunately, I'm not in a good state now, and I'm not affected much, what about you?" ”

“…… Didn't you knowingly ask? Wang Lu was silent for a while, and sighed: "Although I am indeed not even a Jin Dan, but if you say this, there is always a complicated feeling that as a well-known writer, someone has been stuffed with a children's ticket." ”

"In short, this place doesn't seem to intend for us to have too strong personal strength, but it is really difficult for a strong person to explore and advance in a sea of clouds that is difficult for even the Golden King." Aya frowned, puzzled: "And what is the point of this kind of restriction?" ”

Wang Lu said: "At present, the biggest significance is to play a role in the protection of novices, because this restriction is very beneficial to a weak team like ours, and it is definitely unfavorable to the Holy Light Sect - I think I also know that in order to deal with us, they must have assembled the most powerful team, I am afraid that there is more than one legend, but unfortunately all of them are abolished now." ”

Aya asked, "Do you think someone did it on purpose?" For example......"

Wang Lu hesitated: "Judging from the results, it is indeed very similar that the Golden King is deliberately taking care of us, after all, if we win, it will be more beneficial to him." But this mode of thinking, it is hard to imagine that it will be the thinking mode of the Golden King, with his character, I am afraid that he does not disdain to play such a small trick to suppress one side and elevate the other. If we want to win the championship and win the administrator qualification, we must prove the qualification with our own strength within the framework of the established rules. Moreover, I have the impression that although the Golden King is cruel and unkind, he has never been evaluated as cronyism - he does not recognize his relatives at all. ”

Aya sighed: "That's true, I don't think that the proud gold king would use such a cheap method. ”

"Forget it, leave the things you don't understand to think about later, it's a long way, and there will always be a time when the truth will be revealed."

When the two were talking softly, Bai Shixuan's voice suddenly came from the front: "Senior brother, Aya, please come and have a look." ”

Wang Lu and Aya looked at each other and walked to the head of the team, only to see Bai Shixuan stop in confusion, and beside her, as a pathfinder, the dog chess was shaking his fur restlessly, his eyes were looking straight ahead, and there was a gurgling sound in his throat.

In front, in the thick haze, the shadow of a huge castle loomed.

"It's ...... Castle? Aya was surprised, "How can there be a castle here?" Jiajia Zete Mountain is located on the edge of the wasteland, and it is a place where there has been no human existence in the Xiyi Continent for tens of thousands of years, how can this mark of human civilization appear? Could it be the legacy left by the Golden King? In the process of crossing the sea of clouds, he built a castle as a dormitory? ”

Aya's speculation was very much in line with the Golden King's temperament of liking luxury, but this speculation was quickly denied by her personally.

"No, although this castle is huge, the style is too simple, if it were the Golden King, it would not have been built so roughly, he would either not build it, or if he would have built it, it would have been built with great brilliance. And this castle ...... It always feels unfathomable, and it seems to be very old, older than anything we know. ”

Aya said, her attention couldn't help but be gradually attracted by the ancient castle, hidden in the haze, like an observer who has gone through hundreds of millions of years of vicissitudes, indifferently looking at everything around her, the cold figure is chilling, but it contains an irresistible mysterious charm.

Bai Shixuan: "Senior brother, do you want to go over and have a look?" ”

"Of course you have to pass, you can't turn a blind eye. After walking for so long, this ancient castle is the only clue. ”

The previous group entered the fourth level from the stone gate, and they were immediately engulfed by thick clouds and mist, and instantly lost all their vision, not to mention the Jiajia Zete Mountain, which was once clearly recognizable and stood on the other side of the sea of clouds...... Wang Lu lowered his head, and he couldn't even see the surface of his feet.

This kind of isolation from perception does not only come from the physical level, the chaotic sea of clouds contains a very special amount of force, which seriously limits the perception of the trialist, and without perception, there is no other reference in the sea of clouds, and the confusion of the space here is impossible to locate at all. In Wang Lu's eyes, this is like an invisible barrier, restricting them from going to the specified place.

Therefore, when the ancient castle appeared, Wang Lu immediately made a judgment that he had to enter the inside of the ancient castle, because if he missed such an obvious clue, he would probably be lost in the sea of clouds forever.

After Wang Lu led everyone closer to the ancient castle, the gate of the ancient castle slowly opened, revealing a faint light, as if the ancient castle was coldly welcoming it.

Following the direction of the light, the group cautiously entered the castle, and when Aya, who had walked in the back, stepped into the door, the heavy and huge gate of the castle collapsed with a bang, and then disappeared into a dense fog that suddenly appeared.

Aya turned around and drew her sword very alertly, and the sword in the stone, which was more than three feet long, swept backwards, but swung it into the air, and the sharp sword qi tore through the clouds and mist, bringing up a tumbling that was hundreds of meters long, among which, there was no trace of the gate of the ancient castle at all.

"The gate is gone"

Wang Lu was not too surprised by this: "It means let's move on and don't look back...... Okay, let's see what's in this castle. ”

An hour later.

"Senior brother, the second floor has also been explored, and the structure of the first floor is almost the same, it is a hollow-shaped corridor, with ten rooms on each side, each of which leads to a completely different plane, which contains very rich resources."

Bai Shixuan made a report softly, and she was still holding a few spars in her hand that could record images and sounds.

"This is a video record of me and Liuli when we were exploring separately, please review it."

Wang Lu waved his hand: "You don't have to look at it, since the structure is similar to the first floor, I'm afraid the content is similar." With a total of eighty rooms on two floors, leading to eighty different places, each of which is rich in one or two resources, the castle is like a warehouse, a transit station. So that we can be well prepared before we embark on the real journey. ”

Wang Lu said, his eyes looked at a tightly closed door not far away, and then his brows gradually furrowed, and his gaze became fierce.

"Get ready, break through the cloud blockade outside the door."

Behind that gate, there was a cloud of absolute blockade, and it was not difficult to open the gate, although it was thick and solid, and it could not be broken by brute force at all, but it could be pushed open with a little force in the right place. But after pushing it open, there was a thick cloud outside the door that could not be seen, and stepping into it was like walking into a different dimensional space, no matter how hard you tried to move forward, you couldn't leave the three feet in front of the door. Wang Lu asked everyone in the team to try it, and after walking out of the door, it was like a demon, no matter how hard he struggled, he could still stand still, and the law of space seemed to be imprisoned to death.

In addition to this door, the eighty rooms inside the castle, although each leading to a different area, is a dead end, and is not the next direction to go.

So the situation reached an impasse for the time being.

"Sort out your thoughts, Wang Lu."

After finishing exploring a room on the first floor, Aya returned to the hall on the first floor, exhausted.

"Now we seem to be trapped."

There are only two doors to the outside world of the ancient castle, one is the entrance, which disappears into the sea of clouds after Wang Lu and the others enter, and the other is the difficulty that needs to be broken through in front of them, both of which seem to be dead ends.

Wang Lu said: "Judging from the current situation, the meaning of this level should be that we can find something in these eighty rooms in order to move forward. I've just found something resembling sesame seeds in the room of the crop, but it doesn't seem to work. ”

Aya couldn't understand Wang Lu's attachment to sesame seeds at all, so she had to say, "Do you want to take some of the resources and materials of the eighty rooms and try them in turn?" ”

"The most inefficient and stupid way, but if you really don't have any other clues, you can only try it first."

As a professional adventurer, Wang Lu has always hated inefficient strategies, but when there is no other way, he will not force it, after all, even the stupidest method is better than hesitation.

However, just as Wang Lu was about to mobilize the masses to collect resources, suddenly there was a cheerful laugh from the glazed fairy above his head: "Ha Luha, senior brother, I found two paintings."

Two paintings? Wang Lu was suddenly curious, and with a little foot, he flew up and flew towards the sky following the direction of the voice of the glazed immortal.

The clouds and mist of the fourth level are everywhere, even inside the ancient castle, it will be shrouded in clouds and mist if it is far away, although there are only two floors in this ancient castle, but the space of each layer is very wide, Wang Lu flew straight for hundreds of meters, only to see the ceiling of the first layer, and the glass fairy with a happy face.

"Senior brother, senior brother, look, there are two paintings here that are really beautiful."

Wang Lu looked in the direction of Liuli's finger, and his gaze suddenly froze.

"Ruri, you've done a great job."
