440. I know what you are!
Zhuge Yun found that the spiritual power that should have been majestic was blocked, and it was estimated that it could not even reach half of the usual amount!
Is it the aftermath of those weird runes?
This discovery shocked Zhuge Yun a little, what is the origin of the "nameless guide"? What is that weird method?
Although the wound on the back is no longer bleeding, and the strange mark has disappeared without a trace, the lost spiritual power is difficult to replenish in a short period of time.
Perhaps the host knew that Zhuge Yun was facing great pressure from the "Nameless Guide" here, and did not contact him again.
There was a deathly silence all around, and there was a suffocating sense of oppression in the dark mist. In addition, only Zhuge Yun's body made the clicking sound of metal squeezing.
It seems that he only rushed in one go, Zhuge Yun did not hesitate, his spiritual vision was fully open, and he was always on guard against a sneak attack in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to move.
His spiritual power began to skyrocket, and under the guidance of his spiritual vision, the path ahead was very clear. A megalithic bridge stretches towards the castle, and in the distance is a tall tower on the periphery of the building.
The target is the tower, which must have a road leading to the fort.
Zhuge Yun is like a disemboweled. Bullet, the body is extremely agile, leaving only afterimages behind him, and sure enough, as he expected, the metal armor can resist the erosion of the skylight.
If it weren't for the sharp attenuation of spiritual power, he would even want to make the ability of the Bleeding Spirit use the amplified energy of the "Gathering Star Phantom Spirit Seal" to teleport.
"You haven't seen the Lord yet, so don't be impulsive." Zhuge Yun secretly thought to himself that he wanted to retain his spiritual power until the critical moment and then use it, and he had already rushed to the bottom of the tower after five seconds.
The roads inside are intricate, most of the structures are twisted by inexplicable destructive forces, and they are old and exude the atmosphere of antiquity.
It's so weird that even the building materials have turned into rock-like weathering, and there are the bones and corpses of countless creatures on it, like 10,000-year-old fossils soaked in the ocean floor.
Deep in the walls are the remains of ancient creatures, some like trilobites or ammonites, others like the skeletal remains of some kind of sea creature, or seaweed curls.
"Could it be that this building was sunk to the bottom of the sea?"
Zhuge Yun was puzzled in his heart, but his footsteps did not stop for a moment.
There was no road ahead, and the old doorway was filled with rubble, blocking the original passage. He looked up, and there seemed to be a way out between the ruins, but it was so suppressed by the prohibition that he couldn't fly at all.
Looks like it's going to force a road.
"Boom!"
He threw a punch, and suddenly blue aura burst out, and the rubble flew everywhere. An afterimage flashed by, and the flickering blue figure had already turned through the doorway between the tower and the castle, and came to a vast area scattered with strange stone tablets.
The place was rather eerie, with thick moss on the walls and floors, broken sculptures and broken stone slabs discarded haphazardly, surrounded by very tall walls crawling with unknown plants, and it looked like the atrium of a black castle.
Zhuge Yun's spiritual vision poked out, but he could only see a small part hidden in it through the dense fog, like the tip of an iceberg, here, it was too big!
"Well, these broken stone tablets are somewhat similar to the tombstones on the earth."
Zhuge Yun's heart was shocked, and he observed it carefully. On the Broken Monument, there is a faintly distorted face, but it does not look like a human face.
What surprised him even more was that there was a residual aura of decaying energy on these tombstones, an aura of fear in the eyes of the heart.
"What is this creation?"
Just as he was wondering, at this moment, countless murmurs suddenly came from his head, and that terrifying voice echoed in his mind again.
"Oh, I know that woman helped you......"
Zhuge Yun responded: "...... Nameless Guide, you are the master of this place? β
The other party did not answer directly, and said in a cold, echo-like voice: "But, that won't help, this is my domain, you can't escape, you are mine!" β
The voice howled like a raging wind, and suddenly it gushed, sometimes thick and low, sometimes sharp and poignant, as if hundreds of people were talking at the same time.
"Hmph - try it, your field? So what? β
Zhuge Yun followed the direction of the dark energy and stepped into the door of the atrium step by step.
"Arrogant mortals! I can tell you that I am the guide and the caretaker of this place, and all the strong, no matter how capable they are, must bow their heads here with me, otherwise, no one will be able to escape this destined reincarnation! β
Zhuge Yun looked coldly, but his spiritual vision crossed the heavy stone wall and saw the center of the castle, where the blue-green strange light was underground, slowly forming a circle of light.
"I just don't believe in reincarnation, what are you? You don't even have a body, and you dare to talk nonsense about me? β
"Oh, what do you know about mortal bodies? I have as many forms as I want. I will guide everyone who has just arrived here as a newborn beast. β
"As many as you want?"
Zhuge Yun frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered the kind of spirit body that the slug said - "mimic ghost".
That's right, this guy is a "mimic ghost"!
The other party said again: "I feel that you have absorbed the blood of that woman, and you have that ...... in your body Not dying makes me even more interested in you. β
Zhuge Yun stood proudly and asked, "Anyway, you will die in my hands, what are you, I am not interested." β
"Ignorance and arrogance...... I have said that I am the caretaker, watching over their scattered spirits, and the ritual of fire has long since incinerated my body and soul, and now I exist forever in a gray form, without life or death. You can't beat me. β
The other party's voice was still whispering, but at this time, Zhuge Yun was no longer affected by him, and stubbornly walked towards the place surrounded by broken sculptures.
"Caretaker? I don't care what you're guarding or whatever, dying here is your final destination. β
Zhuge Yun didn't care anymore, his footsteps had already stepped into the core of the castle, and the things here were even more weird, and the fog was getting bigger and thicker.
Guided by his vision, he kept an eye on his surroundings as he continued on his way.
Even the spiritual vision can only see a vague picture, and everything seems to be still, lifeless.
In fact, the spiritual power in this place was quite considerable, and Zhuge Yun felt the crazy surging energy, which was the feeling he had experienced when he was soaring in the universe, and he even wanted to stop and absorb it for a while.
"Moon-watching platform"?
The great platform was connected to the atrium, protruding beyond the gable, and the plants that had climbed on the wall, when he arrived, suddenly became restless, as if they had seen a predator, and the rattans trembled slightly, like water snakes, and faded towards a higher place.
In the dark sky, there was a faint round of cold gray light, as if the light of a star was blocked by the thick fog.
Zhuge Yun glanced indifferently, and in front of him, countless exquisite statues appeared, almost the same size as human beings, extending from the open space of the atrium to the front.
But, like garbage, they are piled up in the hall at random, and there is no end in sight, I don't know how many thousands, tens of thousands?
What shocked Zhuge Yun was that these sculptures were all human beings dressed in gorgeous costumes.
Almost all of the sculptures are made of a single block of unknown hedron and look like lifelike aristocrats or royal nobles.
He thought of what the woman said, and thought to himself, these gorgeous aristocratic sculptures should refer to themβthe nobles of the ancients.
But he couldn't figure out how narcissistic the guy who carved these things was. He made so many statues out of his own form.
These sculptures have different expressions, and even if most of them are mutilated, you can see how subtle they were in the first place:
Some are standing statues standing quietly and solemnly, wearing ornate and high hats on their heads, posing in a haughty and pretentious posture; Some men and women are in pairs, with jade arms outstretched, holding hands or hugging each other, as if they are looking for fun; Some hold strange instruments in their hands, as if they are playing music; Some seem to be praying sincerely, with serene faces, with solemnity and serenity; Still others, armed with scepters and all sorts of strange weapons, fell on their knees with their heads bowed, bowing down to heaven......
After the spiritual vision swept over the many statues here, Zhuge Yun's eyes suddenly froze.
He found a tall, elaborate seated figureβthe only person seated among the statues, standing among the statues, a statue of a woman, her right arm and chair damaged, but still visible in her original form.
One of her hands caressed her abdomen, and the other arm was severed from her shoulder, and it looked like her fingers were pointing in a certain direction.
She has a clean and pure face, very beautiful and handsome, and seems to be very young.
Extremely realistic demeanor, starry eyes, frowning slightly, as if under the calm face, there is indescribable pain. A waterfall of long hair slid down from behind, and a strand of hair cut across the straight and smooth neck, falling from the shoulders to the chest.
But what made Zhuge Yun stop and ponder was the face of this woman, he always felt that this face was familiar, like someone he knew.
In the terrifying fog, faint bio-wave radiation looms.
Zhuge Yun sneered, he had long paid attention to those plants, and when ordinary people saw them, they would definitely think that they were the rhizomes and leaf veins of plants, and ignored their disguise. It is only under the Spiritual Gaze that those things really reveal their hypocrisy side.
In his eyes, it was like a blood tube, slowly wriggling, pulsating faintly, but it was always probing everything around them, and the dead and cold pulse was their silent breathing.
Those whispers still echoed in Zhuge Yun's mind, "Tiny creatures...... No living person can come near this place...... Blasphemous demons, bloodthirsty demons......"
In the muffled voice, the average powerful person will almost be driven crazy by the sound of almost brainwashing, and fall into chaos and do not know where to go, which is obviously testing their sanity.
Sometimes sharp, sometimes eerie, high and low, washing away the soul of the intruder.
Zhuge Yun didn't pay attention to the soul-like noise, and kept thinking about the female statue.
"Who the hell is it?"
In the noisy whisper, a mental fluctuation was incomparably clear, hitting Zhuge Yun's nerves, and the woman named the host contacted him again.
"Don't go any further! It's just down there......"
Zhuge Yun stopped, although he was not afraid in his heart, but he was not a newborn calf, and he knew that the other party's next words were very important, so he would break through the obstacles here and warn himself.
"What? Whatever you want to say, hurry up! β
"I can feel the echoes of the ancients...... Stirring in your veins, sorry, I can't name that, but I know, what you are. β
