Chapter 44: The Mysterious Castle

After escaping from the Boar King, everyone finally came to the exit, which was a narrow passage similar to a line of sky, Alice looked at the terrain and planned to wait for Su Ming in this place. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Waiting for Su Ming on this line of days, even if it is the wild boar king who is chasing, he will not be able to pass, it can be said to be an excellent place, and taking this opportunity can also relieve everyone's fatigue.

The exit of the first line of heaven is a small pile of rubble, and now the nine people are resting on this pile of rubble for a while.

At this moment, the big guys are all sitting on the ground with palpitations, and everyone has their own thoughts in their hearts. Some people feel guilty because of Su Ming's decision, and some people are happy because of this......

Time passed slowly in silent waiting, and although an hour or so had passed, Su Ming still showed no signs of coming out of it, which made some people start to worry.

"What the hell! Why hasn't it come out yet! Situ Qing paced anxiously at the exit, looking up into the distance from time to time.

Alice sat on a raised rock, her eyes rolling slowly, searching everything as far as her eye could see, her mind analyzing the appropriate terrain for camping and the general route forward.

Su Ming said that he would come back alive, although she doubted Su Ming's words for the first time, but compared to others, she always had a lot more hope that Su Ming might survive.

Everyone participates in this death game in order to fulfill their own wishes, and if they can gamble their lives to fulfill this wish, it is trivial to sell other people's lives. The reverse is also true: it is okay to sacrifice others, but it is almost impossible to sacrifice one's own life.

Under such conditions, Alice doesn't believe that people like Su Ming will let themselves die because they save others, but it is possible that it is the other way around.

"Rabbit guy, I didn't see that he was really a man. And there are also means, but they really didn't let the wild boar catch up. ”

The overlord's face was solemn, and there was a touch of pain in the depths of his eyes. Compared with other people's coy attitudes, the overlord's emotional expression is much more real. And on top of that, he was also immersed in a deep self-condemnation, and the crisis at that time made him forget his mission as a combatant, and even let his support teammates cut him off.

This is what he hates, but what disgusts him even more is that he still has a kind of luck after surviving, and he clearly remembers that the first thought he had at that time was: Fortunately, it was not me who died.

Alice glanced at the overlord lightly, and said leisurely: "Don't put on that expression, maybe that guy isn't dead yet." ”

"Huh? Are you sure! A group of people said in unison.

"Perhaps, maybe he died, but according to the agreement, if we didn't come before dark, we would find a place to camp and spend the night. The future will be discussed in the long run. ”

Alice looked up at the sky, and it was about three hours before the sun went down. It took less than twenty minutes for them to run out, and now that an hour has passed, Su Ming hasn't even come out, and the fool can understand that this means more than luck.

"Hmph, let's talk about it later. Without rabbits, we're just a rabble. The timid young man said, "Hey~ What will I do in the future?" ”

Although this sentence sounded very ugly and difficult to accept, this time no one refuted it, everyone just bowed their heads in silence, immersed in the confusion of the unknown future, and worried about it.

Now first of all, the life and death of the head of the team is uncertain, and the five weapons of the warriors are all there, and the combat power can be said to be greatly reduced.

In such an atmosphere, time was more difficult than usual, and I don't know how long it took for the sun to finally set.

"Anyway, let's get out of here first, there's no point in waiting."

Alice got up first and walked inside, and everyone else also got up and left one after another, only Situ Qing was still standing at the exit looking inside.

"Crow, aren't you leaving?" Alice's good-looking eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked a little dissatisfied.

Situ Qing didn't reply: "You go first, I'll wait here for a while, if he is seriously injured, no one can answer." ”

Hearing this, Alice's expression relaxed slightly, and she wanted to persuade a few more words, but finally nodded in agreement: "Well, it's okay, then let's go inside and look for it, we will make arrow marks on the trees along the way, and you will catch up with yourself when the time comes." ”

After that, Alice led the rest of the group to the inner part of Darkmoon Ridge.

The depths of Darkmoon Ridge were completely different from the landscape outside, the atmosphere was noticeably eerie, there was more gravel, fewer plants, almost all the trees had no leaves, and the bare branches cast long shadows on the ground at dusk and night, like dry fingers with teeth and claws.

"Why is it getting dark?" Overlord said.

Foodie: "That's natural, because it's almost evening." ”

The gourmand was right, but Alice knew very well that the overlord was not referring to this change.

From a distance, the distant sunset slowly set in the west, and the clouds were illuminated red by the fiery sunset, as if they were about to burn, but for some reason, the fiery clouds extended to the depths of the Dark Moon Ridge, and they changed color and became gray, and the comparison between the two looked extremely weird.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go." When Alice turned her head to look around, she seemed to find something: "Look there, what is that?" ”

Everyone squinted their eyes and looked through the lush branches, as if they saw a building.

"Oh! Yes, it's a castle! The archer's eyes were much better than those of ordinary people, and he was the first to discover what the building was.

Hearing this, everyone rushed towards that side, and the first thing they saw from the thorn bush was a ruined castle, the style of the castle was quite similar to the medieval buildings of Western Europe, but at first glance, it was clear that it had been uninhabited for a long time, the road from the courtyard to the inner gate was paved with a thick layer of fallen leaves and dirty things, most of the windows on the wall were smashed glass, and the creeper on the outside had grown inside, but now only the yellow stems remained.

"I, are we going to live in a place like this?"

The timid young man was obviously unwilling to stay in such a ghostly place, and was very hesitant now.

Alice glanced at him with disdain, and said coldly: "If you live outside the castle, or go back to the village over the wild boar at the entrance, you choose, no one here will stop you." ”

The timid young man was suddenly choked speechless, and he pestled there silently, he naturally would not live outside alone, let alone return to the village, so just now he just said, let him choose, he didn't dare to choose anything.

Walking through the small courtyard, Alice and the others stood in front of the door of the castle, there were two knockers on the gate of the castle, and the carving of the knocker was very strange, it was the carving of two bats flapping their wings and holding the knocker with their feet. The carving is beautiful, but it always gives people an uncomfortable feeling.

This time it wasn't just Alice, almost everyone thought of the vampire they had encountered in the introductory battle.

"Well, Miss Alice, did you think this castle had anything to do with vampires?"

"I think it must be related! Still don't stop! Forget about living outside! ”

"Yes, yes."

A crowd of people were gossiping, and none of them wanted to live in this eerie castle. Alice agrees, but she doesn't think the danger of staying in it is any less than living in a castle, and maybe even more dangerous.

Because the game official is not a fool, such a blatant warning, the meaning to be expressed is obvious.

Players who can survive the entry game are not stupid, and the official knows that players will not enter after reading the bat mark, so they will not set up this castle, or will not add this bat carving at all. Now there is both this bat relief and this castle to tell the player: you must live in the castle, but it is very dangerous inside.

"Let's move in." Alice pushed the door open and didn't forget to get behind the gourmand immediately: "Maybe it's more dangerous outside." ”

Creak~~

The sound of the door opening was like the sound of fingernails scratching a chalkboard, and it made people feel furious to listen to it, and when they looked inside, the long aisle was covered with a torn and crooked red carpet, which had faded and was covered with a lot of dust. At the end of the carpet is the staircase leading to the second floor, with two large bat statues at the bottom of the staircase, as if the owner was afraid that others would not know that this was a vampire's house.

The overlord poked his head inside and swallowed: "You, you really plan to live in it?" ”

"Of course." Alice affirmed, and took the brunt of the lead, entering the castle.

It was getting dark, and there was no lighting in the castle, so everyone went into action and began to scavenge for dry wood and hay outside.

After a while, a bonfire was lit in the courtyard, and then the tablecloth and other cloth from the castle were collected and wrapped in wooden sticks to make torches, which were inserted in all corners of the castle and illuminated all the places.

After careful investigation by the warriors, there were no strange people in the castle, and this result made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

But what is worrying is that Situ Qing has not come back until now, and I don't know if he has encountered any trouble.

In the end, after Alice's simple assignment, the Overlord and the Archer served as the first half of the night's vigil, and the Gourmets and the timid youth served as the second half of the night's vigil, and then changed the next day.

No one slept in the castle's room, because there might be unknown dangers, and it would be troublesome if there was a supernatural murder room like the one in the plot of the movie. So they slept in the living room with a few large tables and ragged cotton pads.

At first, Alice couldn't sleep a little, but after an hour or an hour, she finally fell asleep......

"Sister, I've finally unraveled this!"

A little boy who was only seven or eight years old trotted over with a piece of paper in his hand, ran up to Alice, and handed the paper to Alice.

"Brother, brother! You're not already! Alice looked at the familiar young face in front of her, and was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
