At the end of the canyon is a road that barely holds one person through.

The road was flanked by cliffs, with no end in sight, and the wind whistled in everyone's ears, and if you stepped on it, you would be crushed, and on the other side of the road stood a huge but ruined fortress.

"There's only one way to go. Raven frowned and said, "I didn't expect the road here to be so difficult, but now it looks like we're going to have to take this road." ”

"It's a natural trap. Ye Xiang looked at the road stretching in front of him and said, "Only this road can lead to the fortress on the opposite side, and if the enemy cuts off our retreat at once and sets up an ambush on the other side of the fortress, we will not be able to escape." ”

"That's true, Ye Xiang. "But it seems that there is no other way to go, and our actions have been risky from the beginning, and we cannot stop now." ”

"Of course I do, Shore. Ye Xiang looked into Shore eyes, "I'm just predicting what might happen next, if the enemy hasn't discovered our traces, then maybe the situation I said won't happen." ”

"Is this possible?" Raven asked with a smile.

"It's hard to say. Shore glanced back at the path they had just walked, "I don't believe that hell could have slipped through to such an extent, maybe our whereabouts were exposed from the beginning, maybe they were already lurking behind us." ”

"But we have to move forward. Shore looked at him resolutely and said, "Let's go, guys, we can't do anything if we stay where we are, even if there is a trap in front of us, we must go there!"

Xiao Er took the lead on the dangerous road, Ye Xiang and Raven were also tired of following his pace, they walked very carefully, on this road, even a little relaxation would kill in an instant.

At last the road was over, and the image of the fortress was clearly revealed: scarred walls, towers of pitch black, and a very wide iron gate blocking them, the dents on which seemed to tell of the brutal battle it had experienced.

"This fortress has been attacked. Ye Xiang said, "And the battle must be very fierce, I don't know what the inside of the fortress is like now." ”

"Wouldn't you just open it and see?" Shore said with a smile, reaching out and pushing the door, but what he didn't expect was that the iron door was much heavier than he had thought.

"I'll help, Captain. Raven also reached out and joined the team to open the door, but even the strength of two people was completely unable to push the door open.

"How can it be so heavy?" Shore was already sweating on his forehead, "Can't the two of them open it?"

"Then don't open the door in the usual way. Ye Xiang already had an idea in his heart, "Shore, Raven, you two get out of the way first, and I'll open this door." ”

The two nodded and left the door, and at the same time, the pale blue flame sapwood Ye Xiang ignited around him, and with a wave of Ye Xiang's arm, the pale blue flame instantly engulfed the door.

The steel was melting, the molten iron was dripping onto the ground, and when the flames were completely gone, the originally wide iron door had disappeared in front of everyone, leaving only some remnants of steel.

"Alright. Ye Xiang turned his head to the two and said, "Now there is one less obstacle, let's go." ”

They entered the interior of the fortress, but as soon as they stepped inside, the smoke and dust that filled the ground were almost suffocating them day by day, and the ground was full of dust, and it seemed that the fortress had been abandoned for a long time.

"There is armor. Raven observed at a glance what was hidden beneath the dust.

"Armor indeed. Ye Xiang stretched out his hand to brush away the dust on the armor, and a very well-preserved skeleton in armor appeared in front of them.

It was clearly not a human skeleton, the bones of the deceased were much thicker than those of humans, and the shape of the skull was completely non-human, so it looked like it was the skeleton of a demon.

"He was killed. Ye Xiang stood up and said, "There are piercing scars on the armor, it looks like it should be a weapon like a spear, and he is not the only one here." ”

What Ye wanted to say was indeed right, there were not only this one of the skeletons here, but more skeletons appeared in front of them after the dust cleared.

Most of these skeletons were wearing armor, and their weapons were scattered around them. The skeletons also looked different: some of them didn't look like humans at all like the one they had just seen, while others looked very much like human skeletons. In addition to this, their armor is also different.

"This used to be a battlefield. Ye Xiang deduced, "Those human-like skeletons should belong to angels, while others belong to demons, and this is where the Heavenly Army fights with the Hell Army." ”

"Yes, it seems that this is the only possibility. Shore agreed, "It was a terrible battle, and they still had the same posture as they fought back then, and I can almost think of them fighting at the same time." ”

The skeletons they could see at a glance were nearly hundreds, and that was only the lowest number, while the fortress was several floors, and there was still a long way to go.

As the crowd went deeper, the more shocking they said they saw: the walkway was littered with bones, several spears had completely penetrated the walls, and sometimes they had to move the skeletons to move.

They came to the place where the first door was supposed to be, but where there was supposed to be a door, there was nothing left, and on the sides of the door frame there were many scattered bones, and almost none of these bones were intact.

It was blown up straight away. Shore immediately understood that someone was trying to hold the place, but the enemy was far more powerful than they thought, and their bodies were shattered along with the door.

They walked through what was supposed to be a door, and the number of skeletons was getting more and more in the way that followed.

"The deeper the enemy goes, the fiercer their resistance becomes. Ye Xiang looked around for a while and said, "I don't know what the outcome of this battle is, is it the victory of the Heaven Army or the Hell Army?"

"It's all a thing of the past. "Maybe one day we'll be the story of the past, what will they say then?"

"Whatever they say. Ye Xiang smiled calmly, "We're just doing what we should do, that's all." ”

"This fortress is huge!" Raven said, "I don't know how long it will take to reach the end." ”

"We're going to get to the finish line. Ye Xiang turned back to Raven and said, "But it's best to speed up a little, the longer we stay here, the greater the probability that we will be ambushed." ”

"That's right, the action is really going to be accelerated. Shore nodded, "Get out of here quickly, we can't waste all our time on the road." ”

The three quickened their pace, knowing they had to get out of the eerie fortress as fast as they could, but what they didn't know was that there was another group of people outside the fortress who were also on the move.

"They're already in the fort, my lord. Srant reported to Aligus, "Are we going to set up an ambush outside?"

"It's unknown whether they'll be able to get out. Aligus smiled, "The Hellhold is not just a strong fortress, the real horror is inside the fortress. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Their retreat has been cut off by the men I sent, Slant, you lead the others to ambush here, and I have to select an elite force to enter the prison fortress, they will definitely not get out of the fortress alive. ”

"But my lord, the fortress has not been used for nearly 10,000 years, and my subordinates are worried. ”

"There's no need to worry about me, Slanter. Aligus said nonchalantly, "You know, I fought here with the other two lower lords, and I'm much more familiar with the terrain here than anyone you have ever grown up here. ”

"The subordinates obeyed. Srant said respectfully, "Then I wish you a victorious return, my lord." ”

"Hmm. "Those humans may have escaped from there, only to be annihilated as soon as they find it, but remember, the guy with the twin swords must not hurt him." ”

"Why is that?"

This is what Satan meant. "We just need to obey it, and don't ask what we shouldn't ask, understand?" ”

"Your subordinates respect your lordship's orders. ”

"Good. Aligus nodded in satisfaction, and he looked at the fortress in front of him again, a cruel smile on his lips.

Inside the fortress at the moment, the three of them were moving forward quickly, and they did not expect that this gloomy fortress was already preparing to show its true fangs.

"Click!" The floor tiles on Shore's feet suddenly collapsed, and dozens of spears with a length of two meters fell from the top of Shore's head, if he hadn't rolled away in an instant, I am afraid that Shore would have been killed on the spot.

"Be careful!" Shore reminded his companion in a loud voice, "This fortress is not just an ancient battlefield, its internal mechanisms are still usable to this day!"

Ye Xiang and Raven immediately stopped, obviously no one had expected that this would be so dangerous before.

"I don't think most of those mechanisms will be usable. Raven put his hand on a table beside him and said, "Maybe it's just an accident, Captain, there's no need to make too much of a fuss." ”

But before Raven's words could be finished, he let out an exclamation, and the table he had just held in his hand suddenly dented, and the wall next to the table opened in an instant, and several chains tightly locked Raven's limbs, and then dragged him into the other side of the wall.

"Raven!" Shore reached out to grab Raven, but he was still a step too slow, and Raven was already being dragged into the other side of the wall.

"It's a lot scarier than we thought. Ye Xiang had already raised his vigilance to the highest, "Don't touch anything here, not even a bowl, otherwise it is very likely that the trap will be triggered!"

Shore pulled out his walkie-talkie: "Answer me! Raven, what's going on over there?"

"It's alright, Captain. Raven's voice came over the intercom, "It's just a minor injury, I'll find my way by myself, don't worry too much about me." ”

"That's good, but be sure to be safe. ”

"I see, Captain. ”

Shore's dangling heart finally relaxed, and he took a deep breath before putting the walkie-talkie back on his waist.

"I kind of know how those angels died. Shore pointed to the skeletons that had fallen to the ground, and saw that most of them had been pierced by spears or arrows, and it was clear that they had fallen into the same trap as before.

"That's just what we can see. Ye Xiang frowned, "How many people have disappeared like Raven just now?" There is no way to count it, this fortress is specially used to hunt and kill the enemies who intrude on him. ”

"So what now?" said Shore with a breath, "it seems that it is impossible to move an inch, and who knows how many traps lie ahead, and if you are not careful, you will die immediately." ”

"How do I know?" Ye Xiang wiped the sweat from his face, "This situation is completely unpredictable, either you grit your teeth and move forward without doing anything, or you can only be trapped here alive." ”

Damn!Shore cursed in his heart, he didn't expect this to be a death graveyard, and now they had to make a choice, or they would have to be trapped and die here.

"Let's take a chance!" Shore finally decided, "we must not be trapped here, we must move forward, even if we know that there are many traps ahead, we must not hesitate at all." ”

"Okay then. Ye Xiang nodded and said, "This is also my idea, no matter what, we have to move forward, we have no way back!"

"That's it, Ye Xiang. Shore could feel that his back was soaked with sweat, and if he took even one wrong step, their lives would end in an instant.

"Then I'll take the lead. Shore swallowed and took the first step, thankfully, he wasn't unlucky enough to step into the trap at the first step.

He then took the second step, then the third, then the fourth, and each step was a gamble, and no one knew if he would fall into the trap at once.

Keep your breathing steady and be calm, Shore kept saying to himself. But even so, this fear of the unknown can be haunting even for seasoned witchers.

Xiao Er kept moving forward like this, and Ye Xiang kept following him closely, and at the same time he was also staring at Xiao Er, once any danger occurred, he would help as soon as possible.

"Gurgle!" Shaw's good fortune finally came to an end, the floor tiles under his feet collapsed, and a wall instantly rose from behind him, separating Ye Xiang and Shaw in an instant.

"Shore!" was the last thing Shore heard Ye want to say, and now that they were completely separated by this wall, it looked like they had to act separately.

"Shaw, are you okay?" Ye wanted to contact Shawl through the walkie-talkie.

"It's okay, it looks like we're going to have to split things up for the time being. "Be vigilant, Ye thought, I'll see what this fortress can do to us." ”

"Well, then you have to be safe too. ”

Shore put down the walkie-talkie, then took a deep breath and headed for the dangerous front.
