It was extremely silent, and in the dark castle, Jiang Ling was sitting opposite a skeleton, when a slight knocking sound suddenly came from the corridor.

Jiang Ling's hair stood on end, and he stayed in place to listen, but then there was a deathly silence.

When Jiang Ling relaxed a little, the slight impact sound sounded again.

"Huh?" Jiang Ling heard that although the voice was slight, it didn't seem to be far away from him.

Jiang Ling thought about it, took a step forward with his sword and walked out of the room carefully, after all, these two collision sounds did not know what they meant, they could be a danger signal, or they could be triggered by something, relatively speaking, Jiang Ling still felt that the chance of a killing flag in the first ten minutes was still not large, so he decided to go over and take a look.

Of course, he acted very carefully, while using his mental power to strengthen his perception, while the spiritual power secretly circulated in his body, and he could release his spiritual power at any time, and at the same time, he held the sword in his hand tightly, and he came to the sword if he was indecided.

Jiang Ling walked slowly to the door of the next room, and he was sure that the voice came from this door.

Of course, he didn't rush to open the door, he still had to take precautions when he opened the door to kill, Jiang Ling pondered for a while, and suddenly had a plan, he mobilized his spiritual power and summoned an animal, which was a... Mouse. And it's also a black mouse with uncoordinated limbs and messy hair.

After all, Jiang Ling has been summoning vines since he started cultivating spirits, and his cultivation is also a thorn vine method, so he is really not good at summoning animal-like spiritual objects.

Jiang Ling pushed the door open a gap slightly, "Go ahead." Jiang Ling's mind moved, and the miscellaneous rat got into the house.

After a while, Jiang Ling suddenly heard a fluttering sound inside, and the spiritual connection between the miscellaneous rat and himself was instantly interrupted.

"it." Jiang Ling was taken aback, and now it can be determined that there is indeed a dangerous existence inside, but although the spiritual object summoned by the spiritual power has a spiritual connection with himself, it cannot share perception, so Jiang Ling does not know what is inside to kill his spirit mouse.

The next moment there was a fluttering sound inside, as if something was flashing its wings, and the sound was not very loud.

"What's that?" Jiang Ling crouched at the door and pondered for a while, he felt that judging from the sound, the things inside should not be very big, and he could also take the risk of taking a look. Of course, you can also close the door and leave directly, skipping this room, but at this time, Jiang Ling's heart is itching, and it will be uncomfortable not to enter this room to take a look.

"It's safest to summon Zhou Yu to go in and see if it's safe, but summoning martial spirits is too spiritually demanding, and you will suffer a big loss when you fight with the player in a while." Jiang Ling thought about it, heard that there was no movement inside, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind: "I can't carry it like this, can I still have a nirvana flag?" ”

Jiang Ling raised his leg and kicked open the door, and at the same time took half a step back, raising his eyes to see the scene in the house.

At first glance, it was a study room, surrounded by three bookshelves against the wall, and there were not many books on the shelves, but there were three swaying black shadows hanging upside down in front of the doorway.

"Bats?" Jiang Ling saw in his eyes what the three black shadows were, they were three palm-sized black bats, and at this time, their wings were hugged on their chests and fell on the bookshelf.

And the three bats also saw Jiang Ling, revealing three pairs of blood-colored eyes that were also clearly visible in the dark.

Then the three bats spread their wings, and the three bats, which were originally only the size of a palm, had their wings that were feet long, and the three black shadows quickly pounced on Jiang Ling.

"Three bats still want to turn the sky upside down." Jiang Ling let out a low snort and swung the Sword of Cleansing Sin, and at the same time, his mental power was running, condensing into a wall of mental qi invisible to the naked eye in front of his eyes.

The two bats crashed into the invisible wall with a bang, and even though they had an ultrasonic radar navigation system, their telekinesis was invisible, and they naturally couldn't detect it. And another bat approached Jiang Ling, and was slashed by Jiang Ling's sword, and the sword was extremely sharp, directly cutting off one of its wings, causing it to hiss and fall to the ground.

Jiang Ling swung the sword again, cutting another bat in two, and the last bat came to kill, Jiang Ling directly picked up the bone bottle in his hand and smashed the bat to the side.

Jiang Ling gasped slightly, raised his foot and kicked the bat with broken wings that was not yet dead, and the bat hit the wall and there was no movement.

"Three little bats, scare Lao Tzu." Jiang Ling muttered and walked into the room.

This room is naturally a study, Jiang Ling walked in and took a look, and found that this room also has a window, and the window is also not blocked by glass or other blocks, and it is connected to the outside world.

I don't know if the three bats flew in from the window, or if they were already living in the castle, but that doesn't matter.

Jiang Ling glanced around, and saw that there should be no other bats hidden in the study, so he relaxed and observed. He first glanced at the dead bat beneath his feet, the fur on which was dark red and would have been mistaken for black if he didn't look closely. And the bat has red eyes and slender fangs.

Jiang Ling looked at the bat with a somewhat familiar look, and after a while, he remembered where he had seen it, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Blood bat? ”

At that time, in the Hidden Wind Town, Ouyang Chengyi, the Night Flyer, used a forbidden technique called Blood Bat Technique, summoned several blood bats, and slaughtered the people in the Drunken Flower Tower and the Iron Blood Castle. The reason why this kind of spiritual art is forbidden is because this blood bat is extremely bloodthirsty by nature, and it is not easy to be satisfied like gluttony, and the more blood it sucks, the more ferocious it becomes, and in the end, it is very likely to go out of control and kill bloodthirsty. The spirit master with high strength and superb spiritual arts, the spiritual object constructed with spiritual power completely replicates the characteristics of its body, so this kind of blood bat technique created by simulating blood bats is defined as a forbidden art, which is enough to see how vicious these blood bats are.

One point to mention here is that although bats in many film and television works are evil creatures that eat human blood, in fact, most bats do not live by sucking blood, 80% of bat species survive by eating insects, only a few kinds of bats are blood-sucking, and most of them suck the blood of wild animals, and it is rare to hear of a case of a person being sucked by a bat.

But this kind of blood bat is completely in line with the positioning of the evil creature in film and television works, and even more, bloodthirsty and crazy.

"Luckily, there are only three of them." Jiang Ling couldn't help but be a little afraid after seeing this, if there were more than ten blood bats, he was afraid that he would have to hang the lottery, if there were more than twenty, maybe they would all have to worry about their lives.

Fortunately, there was no danger at the moment, Jiang Ling secretly reminded himself to be careful, and then looked at the surrounding bookshelves to explore useful information.

Although there are three large bookshelves, there are very few books on the shelves, and if you tidy them up, you can't actually fit a single bookcase. And there are a lot of books that have rotted or been eaten by rats and bugs, and they can't be read at all.

Jiang Ling casually took a seemingly complete book, it should be made of better material, and the surface was sealed with wax, so that it survived weathering and the erosion of bookworms. He patted off the thick dust on it and saw that the name of the book was "A Detailed Explanation of Ideation".

"Haha, God lives up to me." Jiang Ling almost laughed out loud, there is no doubt that this is a secret book of recitation, which is what Jiang Ling is currently missing, and he directly put this secret book into the Qiankun bag.

This cheat instantly cheered Jiang Ling up, and continued to search for the books on the shelves, trying to find some useful cheats and get rich overnight.

But Jiang Ling didn't have such good luck, and saw that the other books on telekinesis were all in tatters, and he couldn't read them at all. There are also a few complete books, but the text on them is weird, and Jiang Ling can't understand it at all.

In the end, Jiang Ling found that there was a book placed close to the door, and it was a single book leaning diagonally on the shelf, looking like it was often being flipped.

The book was also a little mutilated, but it was still readable, Jiang Ling took a look at it, but found that the book had no name, so he opened it and flipped it.

"Blood... Blood spells? Jiang Ling barely saw these words on the first page, and secretly said in his heart: "It sounds like a forbidden technique." ”

He continued to flip backwards, but the handwriting inside was a little blurry and the content was choppy.

"Blood is bait... Spell with blood... Bloody thoughts... Sacrifice... Virgin blood. Jiang Ling saw such scattered words and sentences, and couldn't help but feel a little chilly, although the content was incomplete, but just seeing these words made people feel terrified. There is no doubt that this is a very evil exercise.

Jiang Ling thought that there was no trace of blood on the previous disciple of the Nanyan Martial Sect, and couldn't help frowning: "It seems that the blood has indeed been sucked dry." ”

Jiang Ling carefully flipped through the book and found that there was no information on it, so he had to think to himself: "The master in the castle seems to have cultivated an evil technique about blood, which should be a branch of the chanting technique, and this exercise requires procedures such as sacrificing blood. ”

Jiang Ling thought about it for a while, put the mutilated book into the Qiankun bag, and then he confirmed that there was nothing worth paying attention to in the study, so he walked out of the study.

He also glanced down at the skull in his hand, thinking that he didn't seem to have encountered anything too unlucky.

He continued to walk down the hallway, there was no room in front of him, and after a few steps he walked out of the hallway and came to a T-junction.

On the left is a separate corridor that leads to nowhere, and on the right is a short distance away are steps that allow you to go up or down the stairs.

"Multiple choice." Jiang Ling stood at the intersection and pondered for a moment, then walked to the corridor on the left.

Jiang Ling's idea was very simple, first figure out this floor before choosing to go up and down the stairs, and just now the disciple of the Nanyan Martial Sect died on this floor, and the other compatriots were very likely to die here, so he was not in a hurry to go to other floors.

Walking through the corridor of about ten meters, Jiang Ling came to a relatively large room, there was a long table in the center of the room, and there were several chairs around it, it seemed that this was a restaurant.

Jiang Ling looked up and down to confirm that there were no risk factors here. Moreover, Jiang Ling found that not far behind the dining table, there was a lantern.

Jiang Ling walked over and picked up the lantern and looked at it, there was indeed wax oil in it, indicating that it could be used.

Jiang Ling held the bone bottle between his thumb and index finger, and lifted the lantern with the other three fingers, and naturally held the sword of sin cleansing in the other hand. He walked around the restaurant and muttered, "Don't have a lighter either?" Nor do you have matches? Is it difficult to drill wood to make fire? ”

Although Jiang Ling can strengthen the hearing and hearing with telekinesis, after all, it is also a kind of consumption, it would be great if there was a lighting tool, but this lantern needs a fire to ignite it.

Jiang Ling saw that this restaurant was also simple, there were no furnishings, and there were not many noteworthy places, so he walked out to the side door behind the restaurant.

"The dining room should be connected to the kitchen, and there will always be a fire in the kitchen, right?" Jiang Ling muttered and walked towards the side door.

The next moment, Jiang Ling suddenly felt a chill on his back, and he suddenly turned his head to take a look.

There was nothing behind him, and it was business as usual in the restaurant.

But Jiang Ling's heartbeat suddenly increased, and his cold hair stood upside down.

"What's going on with this sudden sense of peeping?"

In the surrounding darkness, there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at Jiang Ling.
