15 Abyssal Souls (1)

Agni fumbled for the mechanism he had found during the day, pulled it up hard, and soon a hole in the wall cracked open enough for people to pass through, and the hole was a short passage. Agni burrowed out of the hole, closed the mechanism, and the hole disappeared, and he crept out.

This wall is the outer wall of the castle, that is, beyond the partition wall is suspended in the air, there is nothing, but there is a path under the roof at the bottom. This is the tank used by the castle tower to drain rainwater. The castle occupies a large area, so in case of rain and snow, the rainwater that needs to be drained will collect into a terrifying amount of water, so a huge drainage system is also necessary, and now, the drainage facilities of the past have become a passage for players to go out. The sink was so wide that it could even be called a small river, and Agni would not feel in the way of walking around it with his sword on his back. Of course, always pay attention to your step, after all, it is a hundred years old building, if you accidentally step on loose bricks, you will fall to your death.

As you walk along the trough, small flying demons occasionally fly by in the sky, making terrible screams. Be careful not to attract the attention of the gargoyle on the roof, if you provoke the gargoyle on this occasion, it is no different from looking for death, not to mention whether you have beaten or not, even if you have beaten the gargoyle, it can also attract you a bunch of reinforcements in minutes, in this place where there is no way to go to heaven and no door, then there is really no place to die. Fortunately, a hundred years of peaceful life have made the gargoyles careless and completely unguarded.

Searching all the way, Agni found traces of the Black Tulip Brigade's activities, a relatively wide platform in the tank, and saw a few hooks and claws that were locked on the tank, apparently this is the place to enter the castle. The fire stopped, fumbled around, and found three or four rolls of rope behind a piece of masonry. It seems that the Black Tulip Brigade did retreat on its own initiative, otherwise it would not have even packed the ropes. But what exactly happens to cause players to retreat?

Agni pulled out a roll, then tied the rope from memory, and hung down from the edge of the sink. Underneath the platform is a ledge that is perfect for access to the castle. Agni fastened the rigging and reached the edge of the trough, only then did he realize that the castle was so high!

"......" Agni left a drop of cold sweat on his head, and he was a little dizzy.

Agni, seventeen years old, had never played rock climbing or high-rise extreme sports, and it was then that he realized that he was a little afraid of heights!

He gritted his teeth, turned his back to the outside tremblingly, buckled the rigging and began to slide slowly, fortunately, there were no accidents, and he came to the windowsill smoothly, but in the end, because the windowsill was still a little far from the rope, the fire made a lot of determination to swing into the corridor through centrifugal force.

The fire flipped in mid-air, and it was the first time for him to do this kind of action, but he couldn't control the power well, and smashed it on the floor with a bang.

"Ahem, ahem! Ouch my, it hurts! Agni touched his nose, which had become red after being smashed on the ground, and felt that tears were about to come out, and he patted the dust on his body while touching his nose and screamed, and it took a while to stop.

Fortunately, there were no ghosts in the place where it fell, it was a long aisle, and the white moonlight shone through the panes on the floor, and you could see the rubble and garbage all over the floor, and not far away, there was a room or passage, which could not be seen clearly in the dim light. This corridor may have been a palatial walkway a hundred years ago, but a hundred years later it was nothing but devastation.

Traces of the squad's activity can be seen in the hallway, presumably a team of mongooses and a few scouts, as Blaze found a mongoose team marching bag and a few scouts' gadgets on the ground. As for their whereabouts, they are still easy to identify, and the garbage and dust all over the ground make it impossible to hide.

The fire followed the player's trail to a passage that was pitch black and completely unobstructible. He suddenly remembered that Mint gave him a gadget, the work of some strange players in the brigade who like to copy real-world items into the game world, a finger-sized "flashlight", of course, this thing does not consume electricity, but holy water, people are wonderful, and the things made are also wonderful, but this thing is just working now. Because...... Agni doesn't make fire out of flint! Seeing that the torches and half a bag of fire oil in the corridor could not be used, and instead wasted precious holy water, he was a little distraught. Unfortunately, these strange players have not been able to reproduce matches and lighters, and if they learn to use flint to light now, on the one hand, they may not have time in time, and on the other hand, they are afraid that they will accidentally cause a deflagration and attract the attention of gargoyles or other flying ghosts, which is a big deal. In addition, the PDA can only be seen by the players themselves, and it is impossible to rely on the PDA to provide the light source.

The effect of the small flashlight can only be said to be barely strong, even if the light source is weak, it will actually cause the light to be strong and weak for a while because of the shaking of the holy water! Agni had to try to keep the small flashlight as steady as possible, slowly moving forward with the marks on the ground. Thanks to his strong perception, there have been no accidents where he stepped into the pit.

Suddenly, a pool of dried black blood appeared in the field of vision of the fire, he paused, looked at it with a small flashlight, and touched it with his hand by the way, the time should have passed for a long time, and it was all dry, but the gelatinous black blood could still be seen in the cracks of the floor tiles. It seems that the enemy began to encounter from here.

The small flashlight swept around, seeing nothing more valuable, and the fire continued to move on.

Room after room passed, more and more traces of the battle, and the advance seemed to be smooth, and the goblins had been killed without causing much damage to the room. The higher the castle goblin, the more advanced ghosts live, unlike the low-level ghosts and walking corpses that inhabit the courtyard on the first floor, they require a more comfortable living environment and a larger space for activities, and it is absolutely impossible to burrow into the ground one by one like the walking corpses and ghouls.

This actually makes it easier for players to clean up. For players, they are not afraid of a single ghost with acceptable combat effectiveness, but they are afraid of hordes of ghost legions. If the player's formation is broken, in fact, some people's individual combat power is not as good as that of low-level ghosts, but in the complete formation, they can exert the power of destroying the withering and decaying.

Therefore, going directly to the upper floors of the castle to fight is the most popular way for players.

"Huh?" Agni suddenly felt movement in front of him, and quickly extinguished the small flashlight, drew his sword from behind, and lowered his figure.

"Sniff, sniff~" This is the snort of the monster, it senses the breath of the living, and is sniffing with its sensitive nose, at this time, the monster seems to have confirmed something - no, it has seen the location of the fire!

"Roar!" The monster roared loudly, swinging its limbs and biting down on the flames.

Although Agni couldn't see it, he knew the direction of the monster's attack through his powerful perception. The visor quickly covered the exposed head of the flames, and he jumped hard, the "lightness" characteristic allowed him to dodge the huge attack of the monster's coverage, if he didn't happen to get the miracle armor, the flames would definitely be hit by it!

Very strong! Agni sensed the howling wind coming from a few centimeters under his feet, and suddenly realized that this monster was not the miscellaneous fish he expected, and his face was a little solemn. Damn, one-on-one is definitely going to get into a bitter battle!

For the second time since entering the game, Agni has faced a powerful enemy alone without backup! And this monster is much stronger than the ordinary gargoyle in the town!
