A pungent, damp smell of blood came from the basement, and the three of them had to brave the foul smell and the terrible darkness as they made their way to the last strange place in the castle.

The three of them walked down the steps side by side, and the occasional damp and sticky feeling under their feet made people unwilling to imagine what they were stepping on.

If it is paired with the weird BGM commonly used in horror movies at this time, there will be no sense of disobedience.

What's more, the three of them at this time still changed from being honest with each other before, to a state of thinking about each other.

Relatively speaking, the relationship between Jiang Ling and Su Wei is better than that with William, but it can't be said to be very strong. Because Jiang Ling vaguely guessed at this time that even if he and Su Wei also did the side quest of the Scarlet Array, because he had not activated the main quest, the plot that might end up may not be consistent.

At this time, Jiang Ling had two other questions in his mind: Where did the last player go? There are currently four remaining players on the battlefield, but the last player is nowhere to be found.

Another question is, there are ten disciples of the Southern Yan Martial Sect, but Jiang Ling has already traveled all over the castle, why hasn't the last one been found yet? Could it be that this disciple died in this pool of blood, or could it be that this last disciple of the Southern Yan Martial Sect was...

At this time, there was a sudden sound that interrupted Jiang Ling's train of thought, and the next moment a light lit up from her side, and it was Su Wei who unscrewed the last fire fold on her body.

William was also startled, his palms were on the hilt of his sword, and then he glanced at it, feeling a little unhappy at Su Wei's sudden movements, but at least the light around him was a little brighter, and he didn't say much.

The three of them were speechless, looking around by the light of the fire.

Jiang Ling held the Sword of Cleansing in his hand and looked around, the three of them were walking on a slanted step at this time, the steps were just enough to accommodate the three of them walking side by side, and there was a dark red moss all over the bluestone steps, and the annoying touch under his feet just now was naturally caused by it. Because the fire fold is not much stronger than the light of the lighter in reality, it is impossible to see it from a distance, but to Jiang Ling's surprise, this light can at least allow him to see the scene about fifteen meters in front of him, but he can't see the end of the steps, it seems that there is still a way to go.

The next moment, the sound of wings flapping sounded, several blood bats flew out from under the stairs, William simply took half a step forward, when the blood bats flew to the top of his head, his eyes were cold, and he suddenly drew his sword out of the sheath, Jiang Ling only felt that the air in front of him was distorted, and then the three blood bats fell to the ground in two. At the same time, William's sword was back in its scabbard.

Jiang Ling's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he felt a sense of surprise and admiration, this sword was not only fast and accurate, but also almost no sound at the moment when the sword was released, and it seemed that at the moment when the sword was unsheathed, the original silver-white long sword became translucent, and it was difficult for the naked eye to capture the trajectory of this long sword. William had tried to attack himself with this trick before, but was stopped by Su Wei, and at this time, Jiang Ling once again saw the mystery of this sword drawing technique.

He asked himself, if he faced this move defenselessly, would he be killed by a sword?

And if you are prepared, can you stop this sword?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ling couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, William Hao deserved to be in the top fifty on the rankings, if this kind of strength really wanted to go toe-for-tat, if he didn't summon Zhou Yu, it would hardly be the opponent of the other party.

Su Wei said in a low voice: "Let's go quickly, the fire fold can't support it for too long." ”

Jiang Ling and William did not respond, but they also quickened their pace, there was a glimmer of light, and the sense of oppression in the hearts of several people was much less.

Jiang Ling silently told himself in his heart that he must find a lighting thing in the store when he goes back, he is too unsuitable to act in the dark.

After walking for about five minutes, I killed several waves of very blood bats, and roughly went down to a depth of ten meters underground, and the narrow and low steps finally reached the bottom, and a stone gate appeared in front of me.

The three of them carefully stepped through the stone gate, Jiang Ling looked up, and couldn't help but be stunned, because there was a moon on it.

"That's not right." Jiang Ling shook his head, understanding that it was a night pearl embedded in the basement.

The bead was the size of a goose's egg, glowing white, and was embedded five meters high, like a bright moon hanging in the air. Relying only on this night pearl, Jiang Ling could barely see the outline of this basement.

Jiang Ling's gaze didn't stay on this rare orb for long, because there was indeed a more noticeable place in this basement.

Here, there is the pool of blood.

In the center of the basement, under the night pearl, there is a circular pool with a diameter of about seven or eight meters, and the red liquid contained in the pool naturally does not need to be guessed, it is naturally blood, a veritable "blood pool".

Although he had long understood that the blood pool would be a pool full of blood, Jiang Ling still felt a little shocked when he really faced such a bloody scene.

And in the middle of this pool of blood, there sat a man, a man who looked to be in his thirties, his chest was soaked in the pool of blood, and only an ordinary face was revealed.

Yes, it's just an ordinary face, the kind of person who can quickly blend into the vast sea of people when thrown on the street, and will not make people pay much attention to it.

It's just that his pair of blood-colored eyes made him have a more palpitating evil aura. At this time, his face was indifferent, and he was looking directly at the three players who had broken in.

This person obviously behaves like a boss, and Jiang Ling has long guessed that this place may be the place for the final boss battle, but what he didn't expect was that there was another person on the edge of the blood pool, and that was a player.

He was a Caucasian man who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was short in stature, but his hair was long above his ears. And at this time, why he was standing on the edge of the blood pool, Jiang Ling didn't plan to think about it.

Because this player has been turned into a bloody corpse.

His whole body was flushed, his clothes were covered with blood so that he couldn't see his original color, his eyes were covered with blood, and there were many red veins floating on his face, which looked very hideous. There are three bone objects hanging from his waist, and it appears that he has obtained the belongings of the other two players, perhaps from corpses, or from murder. Notably, all three bone artifacts have a blood-colored glow.

Judging from his appearance and current posture, he must not belong to the player camp anymore, and should have become a lackey of the castle master.

Su Wei saw this person and muttered, "It turns out that it has become a bloody corpse, and it can continue to be on the battlefield." ”

William frowned slightly and asked, "So what?" ”

Su Wei suddenly sneered and shook his head: "Don't worry, I don't want to be that ugly." ”

"Ugly?" The player spoke, his voice low and hoarse, as if he had a blade stuck in his throat, and he said with a grim look in his eyes, "You see, your fate will be even uglier. ”

Jiang Ling's gaze still stayed on the man in the blood pool, and at the same time he also looked at William with his peripheral vision, he noticed that William's expression changed slightly, although he quickly covered it under that cold and arrogant face, but Jiang Ling still guessed that William must have received a hint of the task update due to the completion of the [Find the Blood Pool] task.

The three of them were nervous, and they inadvertently distanced themselves from each other, but the eyes of the three of them were still mainly on the body of the person in the pool of blood.

It was then that the man spoke, "Welcome, to my castle." ”

The sound is slightly harsh, and if the player's voice is like a blade stuck in his throat, the sound of this thing probably needs to be described as a steel wool ball stuck in his throat.

From his words, it is certain that he is the lord of this castle.

Jiang Ling stood between Su Wei and William, also facing the castle lord, he glanced around again, and found that in the shadow of the wall, there were still some blood bats lurking, they hung upside down on the wall, hidden in the shadows, and the exact number was difficult to determine.

Another point was that on the ground around the blood pool, Jiang Ling could faintly see the shadow of a magic circle, which was a complete blood-colored magic circle made of five stumps.

The castle lord spoke, but did not get any response, his expression did not change, and he said: "I am the castle master here, my castle has not had so many guests for a long time, presumably you all come here for your own purposes, some people are for the practice of cheats, some are for the magic weapon and spiritual weapon, and some people just want to satisfy their curiosity." So, what about you guys? ”

Beside him, the player on the edge of the blood pool, who had turned into a blood corpse, smirked and said, "I came here to make you reborn." ”

In the face of this almost flattering word, but its honesty is basically equal to bullshit, the castle lord did not pay attention, after all, this person has become a blood corpse, that is, his own slave.

Su Wei clenched her fists, and from the beginning, her gaze fell on the side and back of her body. There was a pile of white bones, large and small, the size of a small mountain, enough to imagine how many living beings there were in the first place. Su Wei's eyes were already a little bloody, she turned her head to stare at the castle master, gritted her teeth and said, "I'm here to avenge the dead." ”

In the face of such a direct declaration of war, the castle lord's expression did not change, but asked indifferently, "Do you know them?" ”

Su Wei's body trembled a little, her eyes were full of anger and murderous intent, and she said: "There are more than 700 people in this tribe, but at this time, they have turned into white bones, even if they don't know each other, I will kill you to comfort their spirits in the sky." ”

"What a passion." The castle lord said such inexplicable words, then turned his head to look at William and asked, "Young swordsman, why are you here for?" ”

William looked at the castle master, and after a moment he said indifferently: "You practice the forbidden blood spell, and you enslave the blood bats, drive the blood corpses, and kill the innocent... Of course, none of this has anything to do with me, and I don't claim to be righteous. The corners of William's mouth curled slightly, and he said rebelliously: "But it is not a pleasure to be able to destroy such a powerful opponent as you when you are weak." ”

The castle lord asked very seriously, "You destroyed me?" ”

William snorted coldly and shouted: "With my strength, I may not be able to kill you, but I will fill your blood pool, destroy your formation, let your decades of cultivation be in vain, and let your desire to enter the sainthood with evil ways come to naught!" ”

William's words also indirectly stated the goal of his mission, which was similar to Su Wei's, but different, his mission required to destroy the blood pool and the blessed formation on the blood pool, so as to achieve the result of exhausting the castle master's strength.

The castle lord changed color slightly, and he muttered, "What flows from your body is the blood of rebellion." ”

In the end, he set his sights on Jiang Ling.

He asked seriously, "What about you?" Your purpose? ”

"Me?" Jiang Ling also replied seriously: "I don't know." ”
