Chapter 138, The Shadows Between the Castles

Chen Chen, Zhao Chen, and the wooden ape cautiously approached the circular city wall on the periphery of the giant fortress. Although he didn't find any danger for the time being, under the pressure of walking in the central tower, he was always worried about whether something would suddenly start, and Chen Chen only felt that the hairs on his body stood up. At this time, Zhao Chen grabbed his hand tightly, he didn't shake it off, she must have been very nervous, Chen Chen still felt very sorry for his junior sister in his heart.

The crystal beast jumped lightly from Zhao Chen's shoulder to the wood ape's shoulder, and the wood ape glanced at it.

As they approached the wall, their backs pressed against the wall, and they approached the southern gate. The walls here are at least 30 meters high, the walls are made of gray boulders, the surface of the boulders is seriously eroded by the wind, between the boulders, the boulders are covered with green lichen, the part of the boulders near the ground is cold and damp, and a few weeds occasionally grow in the corners.

When approaching the city wall at first glance, Chen Chen only felt that he heard a strange noise, as if something was whispering, Chen Chen whispered and asked the rest if they heard it, Zhao Chen shook his head, and the wooden ape stopped and listened carefully for a while, saying that there seemed to be and there was not.

The gate was due south, and they were at this time due north of the wall, and they planned to go around from north to east and south, and it was afternoon, and the sun was setting in the west, and they could hide in the great shadow of the wall.

The circular city wall is huge, so they have to walk almost half the distance of the city wall, this section of the road is relatively long, everyone has been holding their breath during the whole process, and after walking for a while, their spirits are slightly relaxed, and they feel a little less stress, maybe the reason for their adaptation.

When he was about to reach due east, Zhao Chen suddenly pointed ahead and exclaimed in a low voice, "Look!"

Chen Chen saw that in the shadow of the falling city wall, between the two battlements at the top of the city wall, there was a person's shadow, although the shadow was small, but it could still be distinguished, and he moved from one battlement to another.

The ape muttered, "How can there be anyone here?" ”

Chen Chen couldn't help but look up, but the figure had already walked away, and the city wall was too high to see clearly.

Chen Chen said, "Uncle Wood Ape, didn't you see them when you came here before?"

The wooden ape shook his head and said, "There used to be no ghosts here, how could there be people?"

Zhao Chen said, "Then what should we do?

Chen Chen pondered for a long time and said, "Go on, we finally came here, there is no reason to say that we should give up now!"

The wood ape also nodded.

They continued to move forward, and then they did not see the figure, maybe they had patrolled to other places, but when they were about to reach the city wall, they found another boulder on the way, which was like a certain battlement of the city wall, Chen Chen and they bypassed this boulder, and soon came under the city gate.

When they came here, they were disappointed.

The gate of the city was tightly sealed by a huge stone, and they couldn't get in at all, they tried to push the stone, but they couldn't push it at all, even if they closed the strength of the three of them and Xiaojing, the stone didn't move at all.

Chen Chen said: "Uncle Wood Ape, have you ever been to the city gate, do you know that this city gate is closed?"

The wooden ape touched his strange head and said, "Uh, uh, it's been too long, I, I forgot"

Chen Chen was speechless for a while.

Zhao Chen said: "Uncle Wood Ape, what should I do now?"

Chen Chen said: "This city wall is not high, we can only climb it!"

The wooden ape said: "That's right, only climb up." ”

Zhao Chen's face flushed, and he was also very angry, and said: "Uncle Wood Ape, you are really unreliable, you knew that we would be finished if we climbed up at the beginning?

The wood ape was quite embarrassed and said, "It's me who is wrong, I'm old, it's normal that I can't remember some things, but this city wall is not too high, look at me!"

I saw the ape stretch out a finger, and the finger became a long vine, and the vine grew and lengthened, and then became longer and longer, and then wound around a battlement. The wood ape smiled and said, "You guys go up first!"

Chen Chen took the lead, his body moved, and he quickly jumped onto the city wall along the tree vines, he pulled Zhao Chen after he went up, followed by Xiaojing, and the wood ape saw that they all went up, and the vines that his fingers turned into shortened and shortened and shortened, and then as soon as he turned over, the wood ape also fell on the city wall.

The battlements of this city wall are as high as one person, and the gap between the battlements reaches Chen Chen's chest, and there is a square fortress on the city wall every other distance, it seems that no one has been here for a long time, and the ground is often covered with green moss.

When Chen Chen saw that everyone had come up, he beckoned everyone to hide in the fortress in case they were discovered by the man who had just patrolled. They looked out from the window of the square fortress and saw the back of the person who had just patrolled, that back was not so much a person, but a black smoke, a figure composed of black smoke, suddenly he seemed to feel something, Mu Di turned around, Chen Chen found that he had no nose, no mouth, only two blood-red spots of light on the part of his eyes.

When he turned around, Chen Chen and the others were so frightened that they retracted their heads, leaned against the stone wall, squatted on the ground, and held their breath.

Chen Chen knew what the sound he heard under the city just now, it was the sound of his footsteps moving on the city wall, and then he heard the sound approaching the battlements where they were, Zhao Chen obviously heard it too, she grabbed Chen Chen's hand again, Chen Chen felt that her palms were full of sweat, thinking that she was very nervous, Chen Chen himself was the same, his heart was pounding.

The wood ape pressed its back against the stone wall tightly, obviously very nervous, the crystal beast couldn't hear anything, but it was very smart, and when it saw the appearance of Chen Chen and the others, it knew that something was happening, so it didn't move.

The voice was getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, Chen Chen saw a figure on the shadow of the underground window, Zhao Chen was so frightened that he closed his eyes, and between a breath, Chen Chen and they thought they would be found and were about to fight, but after a while, Chen Chen heard the sound and gradually moved away until it disappeared far away.

Chen Chen exhaled, it was so dangerous, he knew what it was, he said: "Uncle Wood Ape, those are remnant spirits, Xiao Jing and I were attacked by him at that time, their strength is very powerful, if it weren't for Xiao Jing, I would have followed their way, Xiao Jing alone cleaned up 7 spirits, and I only killed one!"

Chen Chen didn't tell her about it because Zhao Chen was injured at the time, so Zhao Chen didn't know.

Zhao Chen said: "You have met them, when, why don't I know?" Chen Chen explained to her what happened that day.

Wood Ape said: "Indeed, they are indeed powerful, they are the remnants of the evil king's thoughts

, it's very evil, but the remnants here seem to be a little different?"

Chen Chen said: "What's the difference?"

Wood Ape said: "Their spiritual intelligence seems to be very high, the average remnant spirit just wanders around, looking for hosts, and those hosts have also become unconscious, only know killing, and the remnant spirits here can still patrol, it's incredible!"

Chen Chen said: "They are patrolling here, then something must have happened here!"

Zhao Chen said, "What can happen here?"

Chen Chen thought of a possibility, only to feel a cold sweat all over his body, the seal here was the evil monarch of the previous generation, and those remnant spirits were left by him, so, could it be that there was something wrong with the seal?

Chen Chen felt that the matter was very important, so he didn't speak anymore and became very silent. They waited here for a long time, and after making sure that the remnant had gone far away and never returned, they came out of the castle.

Chen Chen pondered for a while whether he should go to find out what was wrong here.

They stood on top of the city walls, looking at the thick, large central tower. Chen Chen said: "Uncle Wood Ape, you said that the exit here is on this central tower, so where is it?"

The wooden ape looked up at the central tower and said: "On the very high top, there is a big window, the windowsill of the window stretches into the air, there is a huge door on the windowsill, and there is a colorful enchantment in that door, the enchantment is different from other places, it is always open, Zhao Chen said that if we can pass through the enchantment, then we can get out of that enchantment!"

Chen Chen raised his head to look for the central tower, the central tower continued to rise in front of him, and then he was raised and raised, and it was inserted into the clouds, the clouds were black, and the light of lightning flashed from time to time, and the stone windows began to appear one by one when the central tower was halfway high, Chen Chen looked for the windowsill that Uncle Wood Ape said in these stone windows, but he didn't find it for a long time, so he asked: "Senior sister, have you found it?"

Zhao Chen frowned and looked at it for a while, then shook his head and said, "No!"

Chen Chen was puzzled in his heart, so he said, "Uncle Wood Ape, do you remember clearly?" Is it on the windowsill?"

This time the wooden ape gave him an affirmative reply, saying, "I remember correctly, it should be on a ledge on a certain window on this tower, but it shouldn't be visible here?

So Chen Chen and the others walked along the city wall from south to west, they walked carefully, and from time to time they stopped in the fortress on the city wall, and made sure that there was no danger between the other fortresses, and then they went to the next one, and they looked towards the top of the tower as they walked, looking for the windowsill that the wood ape said.

They probably walked a dozen fortresses, Chen Chen was about to despair, he didn't find any windowsills at all, at this time it was almost dark, the sun had completely set the mountain, and the western sky was golden. When he arrived due west, Chen Chen said, "Uncle Wood Ape, have you made a mistake, is there an exit?"

The wood ape said, "Oh, this, ah"

Suddenly, Zhao Chen pointed to the top of his head and said, "Senior brother, look, is that the window sill?"

Chen Chen saw that there was indeed a protruding windowsill on it, under the clouds, the upper part of the central tower, very close to the top, at first Chen Chen wondered if it was the windowsill, but immediately he saw that there was a colorful flow of light on it, Chen Chen knew that the windowsill must be very large, otherwise they should not be able to see it in such a high place.
