Chapter 1737: Scarlet Castle
Leaving the ancient mansion, the team continued to set off towards the depths of the city, only this time the team had three more puppet brides, and the eternal night plunged the world into darkness, but this did not affect the three women, they could all see their surroundings clearly, and did not need auxiliary equipment such as tactical eyepieces.
Moreover, the three people who contracted the puppet bride also got the same ability, as long as the puppet bride was nearby, Yun Ling and the two flower fairies could see the darkness without the tactical eyepiece.
As for the puppet bride's weapons, it is naturally according to the recommendation of Shadow Dance, and the equipment is all temporary, and it will definitely be reported when you go back, and the logistics will be customized at that time.
It didn't take long for the monster to appear.
It's a lizardman.
Just like the Winged Man and the Pigman before it, the Lizardman doesn't have any intelligence, his eyes are red, he is berserk, the Wingman can fly, the Pigman is angry, and the characteristic of the Lizardman is that he is fast, in addition to these, like the Pigman and the Wingman, the Lizardman also carries a jade pendant.
"Be careful." A red figure flashed out, and Yun Ling's puppet bride rushed out with a short sword in hand.
Several people have to judge the approximate combat strength of the puppet bride through the lizardmen, so that they can formulate the later cultivation route, and the others did not make a move, this time it was a heads-up between the lizard and the puppet bride.
Puppet brides are currently unprofessional, but they have a lot of skills, which are recognized by the rules of the world, such as the swordsman's three-stage slash, the upper pick, the knight's charge, or the ordinary sword energy, and even the fast movement of the archer type.
Through these skills, everyone also judged that the skills of the puppet bride before level sixty were all mastered, and the level was raised to level nine, that is, the level of the supreme level, and they were used quite perfectly.
In addition to skills, strength, speed, agility, mental power, and energy storage are also the top existences in the same level.
If it weren't for the lack of class skills above level 60, the puppet bride could take out the lizardmen in a short period of time without taking any damage.
A few minutes later, the battle ended, and the puppet bride withdrew her weapon and came to Yun Ling's side, she looked at Yun Ling with very gentle eyes, and then silently waited for everyone to decide on her next move.
Yun Ling stretched out his hand and pinched the other party's cheek, "Good job." ”
Being complimented, the puppet bride immediately showed a sweet smile, but unfortunately, she could not speak yet, and could only express her thoughts with expressions and actions.
"Let's go."
The team continued to set off, knowing the puppet bride's combat effectiveness, and then being able to judge the danger.
This mission is to explore the abandoned city, you just need to know the situation of the city, what monsters are inside, or what resources are there.
As the monsters encountered deeper into the city also increased, all of them were all kinds of mutants, and all the mutants carried jade pendants, and the mutants on the periphery of the city were just berserk, but as they went deeper, the mutants began to become tactical and planned, and the lizardmen began to sneak attack, and the winged people began to form teams.
"These mutants can't appear out of thin air, there must be some stronghold of mutants nearby, or a place where mutants are generated." Shadow Dance spoke.
"Looking for it?" Glitter said.
Shadow Dance looked at everyone, and Yun Ling shrugged, "It's all right." ”
The three flower fairies all said that it didn't matter, the three girls came out this time to upgrade the monster farming, and Ya'er had no opinion.
Killing mutants along the way, everyone harvested hundreds of jade pendants, and after a few kilometers towards the center of the city, a special building appeared, it was a castle, yes, the castle in the city looked like the dark castle where the demon king or the blood clan lived.
The appearance of a castle in the ruins of a modern city is clearly not normal, it is either an opportunity or an event.
Just like the puppet bride before, I encountered it in an ancient mansion with a different style from the city, and this time I encountered the castle, I must go in and see it.
"Let's go, go in and have a look!" Cloud Spirit leads the way.
The castle is bigger than you think, and as soon as you step into the castle, the rules of the game are prompted: when you step into the castle of the Scarlet Empress, the event will start in five minutes, find the Scarlet Empress hiding in the castle, either help her or kill her!
There's a hint! Several people glanced at each other, and they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Ordinary events and opportunities are not prompted by rules, but this time there is a reminder of the rules of the game, which shows that it is a big event.
A translucent glowing barrier appeared in front of him, and Ya'er stepped forward and poked it and found that it was very hard, "I can't get in, the air wall, it is estimated that it will take five minutes before it opens." ”
"Then wait." Shadow Dance said.
Five minutes passed quickly, and the glowing barrier in front of him disappeared, and after the luminous barrier disappeared, something changed in the castle, the originally dark castle suddenly appeared, and a dark red strange light spread around, and farther away, there were even blue ghost fires that appeared and disappeared from time to time.
In addition to these, the way in which the people came in was sealed with black stone bricks,
"Yikes! Can't get out! What to do? The flower fairy, who had long purple hair, hugged her puppet bride, obviously startled by the changes behind her, while her puppet bride was very calm, reaching out and gently patting the flower fairy's back, which was comforting.
The flash shot at the wall, leaving no traces, and she shrugged her shoulders and looked at the group, "Looks like we're only going to be able to finish this one." ”
Find the Scarlet Empress, either help her or kill her.
"Let's go, don't scare yourself!" Yun Ling rolled her eyes, and left the entrance of the castle gate with a spear in hand, and the women followed behind her when they saw this, the castle was more than a hundred meters away, and now it was in the garden in front of the castle, which was a very long corridor, and there was a circular fountain not far away, but the water inside had long dried up.
The gardens on both sides are also full of withered plants, and the only thing that hasn't changed is the obsidian sculptures on both sides of the road, which are dressed in armor and helmets, and it is not clear what race they are.
"These sculptures aren't going to come to life, are they?"
Ya'er was a little scared, and she hid in the middle of the crowd and asked.
"No, I scanned it." Flash said, "It's just an ordinary sculpture." ”
"That's good......"
Everyone walked to the front of the castle, and Yun Ling was just about to push the door to enter, but the gate opened by itself.
This situation startled Yun Ling, she hurriedly retreated, and everyone who reflected it also entered a fighting posture.
Soon, a young woman with a dagger in her hand came out of it, her face was pale and covered in blood, and the dagger in her hand was still dripping with blood.
The woman looked at the crowd and said in a hoarse voice: "Who are you?" ”
Who is it?
This question made everyone look confused, although there were various events in the previous adventures, but no NPC appeared, and the only occasion with NPC was the safe zone, but this time it seems that this time it is a little different, there is even a dialogue, it seems that the castle event triggered this time is not simple......
"We are friends with the Empress." Yun Ling was stunned for a few seconds before speaking.
She didn't say anything about the Scarlet Empress, nor did she mean to fight, but the woman in front of her nodded after hearing it, "It turned out to be the Empress's friend, you are the Empress's friend?" ”
The Empress?
This question was beyond Yun Ling's expectations, could it be that there are two empresses here?
Yun Ling's reaction was also very fast, and she immediately said, "We are friends of the Scarlet Empress, and we have come here to visit today. ”
"The Scarlet Empress?" The woman looked puzzled, "We don't have a Scarlet Empress here. ”
"What?"
Yun Lingmeng, good fellow, this question is really beyond her expectations.
The castle has not only one empress that makes her a little blind, but now there is no blood empress, how to answer this?
Just when Yun Ling was in a daze, Flash opened his mouth and asked, "Then what empress is there now?" ”
"The Dark Empress, the Bone Empress, and the Ghost Empress are currently in the castle."
Three empresses?
And the other party is talking about the current castle, that is to say, there are other empresses, what is the situation in this castle?
"Take us to the Dark Empress." Flash openings.
"Okay, please come with me."
The woman with the dagger didn't say anything, just turned around and returned to the castle like a maid, Yun Ling and the others glanced at each other, and they all followed, only the invisible Shadow Dance used the mind network and said: "Keep in touch, I'll go and scout the surroundings, so that the puppet bride is hidden." ”
"Understood, be careful!" Flash reply.
The three puppet brides entered the shadows of their respective contractors after the maid turned to enter the castle, and Yun Ling and the others followed closely.
When the maid was advancing, Yun Ling, who was at the forefront, lost a reconnaissance skill.
Although the reconnaissance skill will make the other party hostile, but in order to understand the information, Yun Ling still chooses to investigate, her luck is good, the reconnaissance skill has been rewarded, and the other party did not find out that he was detected.
Name: Lady-in-waiting.
Rating: 99
There is no other information except the name and level, this is because the level difference between the two sides is not large, and if it is a hundred levels using reconnaissance skills, more information will definitely be detected.
You can judge the identity of the other party from the name, but the level of level ninety-nine really scared Yun Ling.
Fortunately, I didn't attack the other party at that time, otherwise it might have been a vicious battle.
Follow the maid and go up the stairs of the castle.
Judging from the outside, the castle is at most three stories high, but when a few people walked down the stairs to the fourth floor, everyone realized that the castle had set up a space expansion formation, and the size of the interior could not be judged from the outside.
The layout of the fourth floor is simple, with a straight forward aisle.
The corridor was dimly lit, there were candles emitting a green glow every few tens of meters, and there were rooms on both sides of the corridor, but the doors of the rooms were closed.
Except for the paintings hanging on the walls of the room, all the paintings are girls, but the shapes are very strange, some are wearing masks, some are only painted bodies, there are no picture parts, and some are even half human and half animal.
"Who are these paintings?"
The maid who walked in front did not stop, but continued to say as she led the crowd forward: "They are all empresses. ”
"All empresses? Are they still there? ”
"Some people are still there." The maid said in a very flat tone, but what she said sent chills down everyone's backs, and they didn't know whether she was dead or leaving the castle.
Originally, Yun Ling wanted to ask something, but the Dark Empress's room arrived.
The maid made a gesture of please, "The Dark Empress's room is here." ”
She didn't push open the door, but after saying that, she returned the way she had come, and after walking a few steps, the maid suddenly stopped, turned her head and reminded everyone, "I live on the first floor, if you need help, you can come to me on the first floor." ”
"Okay, thanks."
The maid left, and Yun Ling came to the door, she took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
The knock on the door was loud in the silent hallway, but after the sound passed, there was no response in the room.
Yun Ling frowned, she turned her head to look at the people behind her, "Push it in directly." ”
"Come in, we'll cover you." Glitter said.
Yun Ling nodded and pushed the door directly and walked in, the room was not locked, after entering, the expected bloody picture did not appear, but a very warm scene.
It's a cartoon room.,There's a big pink bed in the corner.,On the bed lies a cute little Lori who is sleeping.,Little Lori is wearing a black dress.,She's sleeping quietly on her side.,But because everyone entered and made a sound.,So wake her up.。
Little Lori opened her eyes and was a little confused, but when she saw the people who came in, she showed a frightened expression.
That's right, it's fear!
Little Lori quickly got up, hugged the pillow and said in horror: "Who are you?" ”
The other party's reaction also surprised Yun Ling and the others, but Yun Ling, as the team leader, still asked calmly, "Are you the Dark Empress?" ”
"I am darkness, not empress." Little Lori said.
A scouting skill was lost.,The result is not the slightest feedback.,Either it's blocked.,Or little Lori carried props to prevent detection.。
Everyone did not relax their vigilance because of the appearance of the little Lori, and the three flower fairies, in an instant, stood in the middle to protect Ya'er, and Ya'er was ready to summon the source of alienation at any time.
"Your name is darkness?"
Little Lori nodded.
Yun Ling walked over and sat in front of the bed, she stretched out her hand and rubbed Xiao Lori's head, and found that she did not resist, so she asked, "Do you know the Scarlet Empress?" ”
Little Lori, named Dark, shook her head.
"How are you doing here? Has anyone bullied you? ”
"Not good." Although little Lori was a little scared, she still said her heart, "There are always people who come to draw my blood, and monsters beat me." ”
Draw blood, monster!
Yun Ling asked for two pieces of information, and after hearing it, everyone also thought of this prompt, the Scarlet Empress, could it be that the Scarlet Empress did it?
If the little Lori in front of you is not pretending, you can find a way to gain the trust of the other party, Yun Ling continued: "Then how about I take you out of here, sister?" ”
"Not good."
Little Lori was even more scared when she heard this.
But this made the women feel abnormal, since she was bullied, it would be good to leave, why didn't she dare to leave?
"What's wrong? Isn't it good to get out of here? ”
"No, you can't leave." Little Lori shook her head desperately, "I'm going to die." ”
