Chapter 20: The Castle
Before Yu Zhao could think about it, a dumbfounded prompt popped up from the light curtain.
"Live Mission 2: Rescue Survivors (Completed)"
There was no wind on the island, but the four of them still felt a chill.
If you didn't choose to treat it just now, then when this person dies, does it mean that the live broadcast mission has failed?
Although I don't know the specific punishment for the failure of the live broadcast task, think about the normal anchor if there is a live broadcast accident......
Even Tao Yifei, who is nervous, is faintly afraid.
"Big brother cow batch." High school students couldn't help but applaud.
Yu Zhao didn't get the slightest excitement, but thought about it, if it was because of the live broadcast task that caused the shit luck talent to take effect, that is, the failure of the live broadcast task might lead to a death-defying result?
At this time, the passerby actually groaned, opened his eyes, and he actually woke up!
"Who are you?" He saw the team members standing in front of him and asked subconsciously.
Then, with some difficulty, he straightened his position, and then touched his abdomen, stunned, without the expected slippery feeling, he subconsciously lifted his clothes, only to see that the original wound had grown pink new flesh, healing seventy-seven eighty-eight.
He jerked his head up, looking up at the team members in disbelief.
"That's right, we saved you." Zheng Xuan showed a standard sweet smile.
She saw high school student Pei Hengwu waving his hand, indicating that he had no intention of speaking, Yu Zhao was pondering, and Tao Yifei was even more in a daze, looking like she was out of the world.
Tool people must have the consciousness of tool people.
"We are a group of adventurers who have been caught in a storm and drifted to this island." Zheng Xuan is now making up this answer. Anyway, this answer is a panacea, and there will be no big problems.
"So you were caught in that storm, too." He looked suddenly enlightened, and then, as if remembering something, asked hopefully, "Can your ship still drive?" ”
There are no ships, the company has a fixed point to put them, and the team members don't know where they came from.
Zheng Xuan continued to act actively, only to see her biting her lip lightly, with a look of regret, and even her eyes were slightly red, "Our boat was broken, and we floated over with a wooden plank." ”
The passerby's eyes darkened, "It's over, we're all going to die here." ”
Zheng Xuan introduced the team members to passers-by one by one, and finally asked, "What's your name?" ”
Either way, it's always a good idea to stabilize the passerby first and let him say more information. Most likely, he has clues about the "castle" mentioned in the live mission.
"My name is Joe, and I'm a guard." Joe froze, "You can't go any further, there's a castle ahead. ”
Hearing this, the high school student and Yu Zhao both frowned, the location of the mission was known so easily?
Besides, if the castle is in front of you, what is the use of this NPC?
Just a simple task that is almost impossible to make it more difficult?
But the problem is that this has no effect on the show.
"Castle?" Zheng Xuan noticed the expressions of the two people and continued to ask.
"Yes, the castle. Our fleet was hit by a storm and the ships were destroyed, and the others and I survived and wanted to explore the island, after which ......" his eyes were full of fear, and even his body trembled unconsciously, and his teeth began to fight slightly.
"We were attacked first by a bunch of dead people, and then by several waves of ferocious beasts, and several people died. When we finally broke out of the monsters, we saw a castle and we wanted to go into it to rest. He began to recall, his voice ethereal.
"The castle is full of corpses and bats...... Many of us died on the spot, and I was the only one who escaped. ”
Except for Tao Yifei, who was still in a daze, the other three people made eye contact.
"Do you remember the details of the inside of the castle?" Zheng Xuan asked.
Joe thought for a moment and said regretfully, "I don't remember, I only remember the endless stream of corpses and bats." ”
It seems that this NPC can only provide this information, and in exchange for this information with a "fate coin", Yu Zhao can't tell whether it is a loss or a gain.
"Hearing that, we're going to take a look at the castle." Zheng Xuan saw that none of the team members had the idea of continuing to ask questions, and said bluntly.
"What? Going to the castle? You're crazy! Joe's eyes widened as he looked at the team members. The expressions on the faces of the four told him that they weren't laughing.
"Haven't you been attacked by corpses or beasts?"
"Yes." For the team members, the live broadcast experience was unforgettable.
"Then you still ......"
Yu Zhao interrupted him, "There is no way out. Joe, we came to this island, we didn't know where we were, there were no supplies on the island, and we couldn't even make a raft and leave. ”
"If you don't want to go back to the castle, you can choose to leave, and we have cleaned up the corpses and monsters on the way." High school student Pei Hengwu added in due course.
However, fools know that on this island, a lone monster is basically bound to die.
Joe was silent for a moment and gritted his teeth, "I'll take you there." ”
After saying that, he barely supported his body, picked up the long sword that fell to the ground, and walked forward with difficulty.
A seriously injured person can actually walk on the ground after receiving a local treatment?
The others subconsciously glanced at Yu Zhao, and Yu Zhao himself coughed dryly, pretending to be calm.
Is this "Destiny Coin" so useful?
At this time, Zheng Xuan whispered: "I can use illusion to make him reveal more information." ”
The team was wiped out, and he escaped alone, which seemed reasonable, but he always felt that something was wrong.
There must be a secret in this man.
Yu Zhao shook his head, "There's no need." "They lack key information now, and they can't figure out what role Joe plays in this live broadcast, and if they take a wrong step, it is estimated that the whole team will be wiped out.
There's nothing wrong with being cautious.
The road after that was still calm, and there were still traces of Joe's blood on the path from time to time, looking at the blood stains on the ground, the team felt more and more that Joe's vitality and desire to survive were so strong, and he could actually drag his seriously injured body for such a long distance.
Along the way, the team became more and more convinced that the island was basically devoid of life, and that there were no birds or even wind in the vast forest.
Walking in such a forest, the team can only hear the sounds of their own people walking, and only feel the dead silence.
This is the land of the dead, this is the island of the dead, and they are the only survivors left in this cursed land.
I don't know how long it took, but the forest gradually thinned out, and as everyone walked out of the forest, a huge castle came into their eyes.
Stylistically, the castle is more like a medieval European-style castle, with towers, arrow towers, and even a moat and drawbridge. It's just that this moat has long since dried up, and it is useless.
The bricks are pitch black, and many of the bricks have aged and eroded, showing its long age.
And the live broadcast team, I don't know how many waves of guests and ...... Prey.
After seeing the castle, Yu Zhao and the others did not rush in, and Qiao also said that there were a lot of corpses and bats inside, and rushing in was to give people heads.
Moreover, since this bat can be compared to a corpse, it means that the bat is also very threatening.
"What do bats look like?"
"Probably about the same size as us, black, with sharp claws that can easily tear through leather armor."
Everyone: "??? ”
A normal bat is the size of a man? Is TM still called a bat?
At the edge of the castle, the team rested for a while, ate something hastily, and prepared to enter the castle.
If conditions permit, of course, the team wants to wait for Joe's injuries to fully heal before entering the castle, but invisibly, the "program effect" hangs above everyone's heads like the sword of Damocles.
Especially now that it's still close to the castle, as long as the monsters in the castle rush out, even if the team can run, they must give up Joe.
The castle door was made of wood, but it didn't seem to be the dead wood of the forest that the team had seen, but another kind of wood with a green glow, which was extraordinarily heavy and heavy.
With the "crunch" sound of the door being pushed, the castle of the Black Hole Cave also welcomed its new batch of guests.
Surprisingly, the castle is not a black hole, and the surrounding candles and chandeliers provide a certain light source, but the brightness is not enough, it looks a little dim, and people can't see things in the distance.
There was obviously a bloody battle on the first floor, and there were corpses and blood stains everywhere, which looked particularly terrifying in this dim light.
Joe looked extremely nervous as he entered the castle, as if recalling his previous experience, clutching the sword in his hand tightly, his knuckles white.
It seemed to feel the sound of the team, and in the darkness not far away, there were faint sounds of roaring and grinding.
But at this time, high school student Pei Hengwu was still very nervous rummaging for weapons, and by the way, he checked the corpses to prevent some corpses from "pretending to be dead".
He has advanced to become a fighting master, and he has the confidence to do so in terms of strength.
After a while, he threw a wooden shield to Zheng Xuan, this shield should be Qiao and their team, the quality is obviously much higher than the outside, the shield not only has a little arc, but also has been carefully maintained by the original owner with a layer of grease.
Jo glanced at the shield and sighed faintly, "That's Caesar's shield, he's the best warrior among us, this ghost place ......"
"Watch out for bows and arrows." Yu Zhao still remembers the archers who shot arrows in secret, especially in this dim environment, and he couldn't tell where the arrows flew from.
However, it seems that because Joe's team had helped attract a lot of firepower before, the corpses gathered were not as exaggerated as Joe described, and only a dozen or so staggering figures were seen in the dark.
Pei Hengwu urged the fighting energy, and the dark red fighting energy wrapped around his upper body, and a sense of power arose.
With a fighting spirit protector, he is relatively the most capable person in the team, whether he wants to or not, he has to stand up to attract firepower, otherwise, he, the grass Voldemort, will definitely control his fighting spirit carefully, at least it will be less conspicuous.
Qiao stood next to Zheng Xuan because of his inconvenience, which was regarded as giving Zheng Xuan a little protection.
Zheng Xuan also has a dark idea, the illusion can't be released on his own people, but as a last resort, he can release it on Qiao.
After such a long rest, her illusion could finally be unleashed again, at least with some self-preservation.
Tao Yifei was no longer in a daze, she seemed to like this dim environment very much, holding the dagger and taking the initiative to wander in the darkness.
Yu Zhao was not too worried about the monster that was about to appear, and under the cover of the dim light, he glanced at Qiao, what kind of role did this person play in this live broadcast?
