Chapter 383: The Ruined Demon Fortress
The brilliance flashed, and Lan Wu appeared in the ruins. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info raised his eyes and looked around, and he couldn't help but gasp.
This is indeed a fortress of demons. The ruins and ruins around it silently tell the story of the former glory of this majestic fortress. But the mottled bloodstains that were vaguely exposed under the dust were also silently telling how tragic the battle situation here was at that time.
Lan Wu walked over to a broken wall. A withered hand was visible from under the crumbling stone wall, and even though the body buried under the stone wall was dry, the gray hand could still be seen covered with wounds of all sizes.
"Whew." Lan Wu let out a long sullen breath. Seeing this scarred hand, he could imagine what kind of assault the Demon Fortress had experienced in the first place.
"Go and see if there's any sign of a survivor." Lan Wu patted his cheek, and then motioned for Lan Ya and the four ghosts to search around.
The Fortress of the Demons is no better than Camp Rogue, Rogue and the seaport of Kurast. This is known as the frontier fortress closest to Hell. Except here, the outside is not habitable at all. If there are survivors, then only here. If no traces of human activity are found, then it means that the Demon Fortress has been wiped out without a single survivor.
When the four ghosts began to act, Lan Wu did not rest, and walked straight to the center of the fortress that he had only seen from a distance...... Today, it is the best-preserved castle.
This Gothic castle is extremely magnificent and fortified. The exterior walls are covered with potholes, and it is clear that there was a terrible battle here. The boulders scattered around the castle clearly testify to the countermeasures taken by the demon army in the first place. However, it is clear that the demon's plan did not succeed. Except for leaving countless potholes on the outer walls and smashing down a few minarets, the fortified castle was not destroyed.
Lan Wu went straight through the thick iron gate that only the top half was left, and entered the interior of the castle. As soon as I stepped into the gloomy hall, a rancid stench suddenly rushed over me. Lan Wu frowned, and soon saw a pyramid built entirely of corpse bones.
The pyramid was so terrifying that it almost touched a ceiling of more than 20 meters high. A hall the size of nearly four football fields is occupied by the pyramid. A rough estimate is that there are at least 10,000 bones piled up here.
Lan Wu looked at the pyramid that emitted a strong rancid stench, and his heart felt like a big stone was blocked, making him breathless. The world has changed dramatically, resulting in the loss of 99 percent of humanity's population. Just listening to this number doesn't make you feel clumped, after all, it's just a number. But the pyramid of more than 10,000 corpses in front of him was a living storytelling him how much the world changes had on human beings.
The sound of footsteps echoed through the dead silence of the hall. Lan Wu silently bypassed the terrifying pyramid and walked straight to the staircase behind him. He'd heard Boya, the professional dad who broke his heart for the team, say that Tyrell had been recuperating in the depths of the castle. The only way to find the portal to Harogas is there.
Descending the stairs, Lan Wu quickly reached the bottom. With the glimmer of light from the illumination range attribute attached to the equipment, he could see that this place had indeed been abandoned for a long time. The ground was covered with a thick layer of dust. Torches and other lighting objects hanging on the surrounding walls are also covered with cobwebs.
"Worod, Taylor......" Lan Wu silently recited the names of the happy couple in his heart, and remembered the scene when he first met Worod. If it weren't for the fact that the Son of Doom resolutely lent him a new staff with a skeleton resurrection, I am afraid that he would have died at the hands of the Sinking Demon in the first place.
Then the faces of Boya and the others immediately appeared in his mind. He smiled self-deprecatingly. If you think about it, this dad who broke his heart for the team is quite cute. The female mage Vina, who likes to carry all her belongings with her, is also fortunate to meet Boya, otherwise she would probably die early if she brought so many things to fight.
Nostalgic for Boya and the others, Lan Wu walked to the end of the corridor. Here stands a gate carved with an ancient mystical pattern. Seeing this intact gate, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The gate turned out to be intact.
This means that there are likely to be survivors. The entire demon fortress was destroyed by the demons, and the only thing left intact was this castle. The only thing that remains intact in the castle is the gate in front of you. It's entirely possible that the survivors are hiding here.
Thinking of this, Lan Wu couldn't wait to step forward and push the door open with anticipation. A crack appeared in the heavy, thick door rumbling. A faint smell of burning grease wafted out of the crack in the door.
"Sure enough, there are survivors." Lan Wu was suddenly pleasantly surprised, and while pushing the door open, he shouted loudly, "I am a human being. Someone's words squeak. ”
As soon as the door was pushed open to the width of just enough for an arm to reach, a sharp arrow shot from the inside of Leng Buding, and it was nailed to the wall on the right side with a thud, scaring Lan Wu into a cold sweat.
If you don't choose to push open one of the door panels in order to ensure that you leave a certain amount of defense, you will stand in the middle as if you were opening a door normally. The arrow had pierced his right eye.
"I'm a human, not a demon." Lan Wu was also a little annoyed. Obviously he had already warned him, but the survivors inside still launched a sneak attack. It's so ignorant.
"Boya said that whoever opens the door will attack whoever opens the door......" A slightly green voice came from inside. Before the words fell, they suddenly stopped, leaving only a whining sound, as if someone had covered their mouths.
"Boya? Boya isn't alive yet? Lan Wu was overjoyed, and he didn't care about being attacked by the people inside just now, so he immediately used his mana to completely open the door. In the faint light, he saw the survivors inside. He was stunned.
I'm a god.
Lan Wu stared blankly at the twenty or so survivors in front of him, and he couldn't even believe his eyes. The oldest of these survivors looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest even had snot, at best five or six years old. At this time, he only had a capital letter left in his heart.
Being able to save so many children in the catastrophe cannot but be said to be a kind of ability. Especially feeding so many children in four years is an admirable ability.
"Don't come here." The eldest boy stretched out his bow and arrows, vigilantly protecting the others, like a milk tiger baring its teeth at the ferocious black bear.
"Don't be nervous, I'm human." Lan Wu couldn't help but laugh, and took out a torch to light it so that these survivors could see it more clearly. I didn't want these children to let their guard down, but they became even more nervous, and one by one they hid behind the boy in horror.
"Don't come here." The boy visibly became more nervous as well, pulling his bowstring and aiming his sharp arrow at Lan Wu.
"I am a benefactor...... Well, Boya should have mentioned me. Lan Wu reluctantly raised his hands and tried to use another method to make these overly frightened children accept him.
At this moment, an extremely weak voice suddenly sounded in the darkness: "Divine Grace...... Orchid...... Lan Wu, you are Lan Wu, the benefactor. (To be continued.) )
