Chapter 367: Ascending
Make sure you have enough time to reach the castle and find a safe place to settle down and wait for the next death.
"Master, the time is up."
"Hmm."
Death is not a pleasant taste, like being choked by the throat, unable to breathe, unable to struggle.
But Ye Mu is used to it.
Ye Mu opened his eyes numbly, and without saying a word, he directly activated the thruster of the diving suit.
Ten and thirty-two seconds, the time it took to reach the castle from the previous position was not much different from what Ye Mu had estimated.
The next step is to find a safe place to hide and wait for the next death.
The shape of this castle is particularly unique, and in terms of structure, it does not conform to the aesthetics of normal people, nor does it meet the needs of normal people's lives.
But if you think about it, it's true, a weird castle built under the deep sea is not a place for normal people to survive.
The structure of the light gray castle is quite intricate, and the building in front of it is particularly eye-catching, with a thin tip at the top and a thick bottom, and the waist stretches out like three demon arms.
Ye Mu cautiously approached the ancient castle, he found a rather hidden corner, and poked his head out to look around, for fear that some dangerous monster would secretly target him.
After Ye Mu was sure that there were no terrible monsters that had discovered and followed him, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Ye Mu curled up in the corner where he was hiding, honestly waiting for this round of death.
Thankfully, he no longer vomits blood from cursed organ failure.
This is also good news for Ye Mu, at least he doesn't have to worry about being drowned in a diving suit with blood.
After waking up again, Ye Mu found that the little fox was surprisingly quiet.
"Little fox, why don't you speak?"
"I'm afraid of disturbing the master." The little fox whispered.
"It's okay, help me keep an eye on my surroundings, I'm going in." Ye Mu commanded.
"Hmm."
Yemud found an entrance in the shortest possible time.
After wandering beneath the castle for a while, he did not find an entrance to the castle.
Ye Mu took a deep breath, activated the thruster on the wetsuit, and swam upward.
The concept of an undersea house is different from that on land, and the entrance to the castle is not necessarily at the bottom of the house, because all the creatures in the sea can swim.
For example, for a bird that can fly freely in the air, an open roof and windows are the best entrance.
The walls of the castle are dotted with large and small stone windows, and there are burglar bars carved out of stone.
Ye Mu originally thought that there were no so-called windows in the castle in the sea, because there was no sun in the sea at all, and there was no need for lighting.
However, he overlooked another thing, even the buildings under the sea need water.
It's the same as ventilating a house on land.
Ye Mu casually found a stone window and carefully looked inside.
A door, a stone bed, a skeleton.
Nothing else.
It's clearly a humanoid skeleton, a skeleton bubble. Open. Pair. The legs lie on the stone bed, soaked in the seawater, with a faint yellow color.
"This place... It's getting weirder and weirder. Ye Mu frowned.
Time waited for no one, Ye Mu didn't dare to stay too long, and continued to look for the entrance to the ancient castle.
"Master, I've found the entrance." The little fox made a new discovery and hurriedly reminded Ye Mu.
"Where?" Ye Mu was overjoyed in his heart.
"Look up on the left-hand side." The little fox replied.
Ye Mu followed the little fox's prompt, and sure enough, he found an open entrance.
This is probably not the main gate to enter the castle, and the entrance that the little fox found is not large, and it seems that it can only accommodate two people at the same time.
"This door is not closed..."Ye Mu frowned and thought: "But looking at the situation here, even if the door is not closed, it is almost impossible to encounter uninvited guests." ”
"Master, do you want to go in?" The little fox asked in his ear.
"Wait, wait for the next fifteen minutes." Ye Mu said cautiously.
Ye Mu's activity cycle is only fifteen minutes, and in order to ensure his own safety, he must find ways to allocate his activity time reasonably.
Once Ye Mu was discovered by the enemy during his death and stripped him of his diving suit, then he would never be able to leave this ancient castle, and the three daughters of Dai Qing could only sleep in the abyss under the sea until they died.
Ye Mu found a corner close to the entrance and began to wait for the next round of death.
He now felt like he was finding a place to die, and he was skilled at it...
……
"How many times have I died?" Ye Mu opened his tired eyes, shook his head slightly, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Thirteen or fourteen times?" I don't remember exactly, but every time it feels pretty much the same..."
"The hosts... You okay? The little fox's voice was inaudible.
"It's okay, don't waste time, let's go into the castle and have a look."
Ye Mu coughed twice, activated the thruster and flew towards the entrance of the castle against the wall.
Ye Mu had to make sure he approached the entrance without revealing it and sneaked in.
Ye Mu's biggest fear now is that if there are guards guarding the entrance, then his whereabouts will be easily discovered.
Ye Mu, who was in the deep sea, could hardly exert even one-fifth of his own strength, and if he really encountered a powerful enemy, he would definitely be dead.
Ye Mu tried his best to fit his body perfectly with the wall, and sneaked into a corner that was relatively safe and just enough to see the situation inside the door.
With the help of the little fox, there is no darkness in Ye Mu's eyes now.
He has eyes that do not depend on light, and everything in all the darkness is clearly visible to him.
Matching the things that were originally in the dark and did not show color to the colors that it should appear in the light and projecting them in Ye Mu's retina is the eyes that the little fox lent to Ye Mu.
"Master, there's no one at the entrance." The little fox said.
"Hmm." Ye Mu answered, and then no longer hesitated, and activated the thruster and rushed towards the entrance of the ancient castle.
Everything went much smoother than expected, and Ye Mu entered the castle smoothly without encountering any obstacles.
Passing through the doorway, you will see a deep and winding corridor.
The pure black corridor is lined with no ornaments, and it looks like a pure cave in the sea.
"It always feels like there's been no one here for a long time." Ye Mu frowned and said softly.
"In this kind of place, there are no subhumans or humans per se." The little fox thought for a moment and added, "The Aesirs probably won't have any. ”
The inside of the castle was quiet, and the sea in the corridors was lifeless, as if it had not flowed for thousands of years.
"Little fox, help me keep an eye on the time, and remind me in the last three minutes."
"Good master."
Although it was said to be a long, narrow and winding corridor, Ye Mu had no way to walk in the corridor as usual.
After all, it's in the water.
Ye Mu didn't dare to move forward too fast, and he didn't dare to swim in the corridor unscrupulously.
He was like a clumsy spider that could climb and walk on the wall, clinging to the wall and carefully moving forward in the narrow aisle.
The sea water hindered Ye Mu's movements, but it also made it easier for Ye Mu to hide his whereabouts.
"I think it's like an empty castle, and no one seems to be there." Ye Mu wondered.
The little fox was afraid that Ye Mu would be careless, so he couldn't help but speak: "Master, I can feel that this place is unusual, you must not take it lightly." ”
"I know, don't worry." Ye Mu nodded.
"Master, you have four minutes." The little fox reminded.
Ye Mu frowned, time passed too fast.
From the beginning to the present, at least half a day has passed, but fortunately, the diving suit can decompose seawater to make oxygen, which has allowed Ye Mu to support until now.
"Have you found a place to hide nearby?" Ye Mu asked.
"I haven't found it for the time being, and it's probably too late to go back now." The little white fox said worriedly.
Ye Mu frowned, looked ahead and said, "It's okay, look like this, we won't be discovered for a while, continue to move forward." ”
This corridor does resemble a narrow cave in the sea.
At first, he could only move forward, but when Ye Mu walked to the back, the corridor began to branch out.
The structure of the castle resembles a grasshopper's nest extending in all directions, winding from top to bottom.
Ye Mu hesitated at a fork in the road, he was struggling with which road was better next.
Ye Mu, who has no sense of direction, hates this situation the most.
"Master, there are still two minutes..."The interval between the little fox's time is getting shorter and shorter, which also means that there is less and less time left for Ye Mu.
Ye Mu knew that staying at the fork in the road was undoubtedly the most dangerous thing to do.
He no longer hesitated, picked a random path, and swam forward at a faster pace.
Not long after swimming forward, Ye Mu came to a relatively wide hall.
The size of the hall is not small, but the layout is quite simple and casual.
In the empty hall, six bluestone four-legged long tables are neatly arranged, and the tables are full of plates of exotic fruits.
"The fruits all look fresh, and it seems that there really is other life in this castle." Ye Mu looked at the height of the stone table and the fruits on the table, and analyzed: "Judging from the height of the table, the height of the owner of the ancient castle should be about two meters and a half, but I didn't expect it to be a vegetarian..."
"It's not impossible to say this, master, didn't we see a white skeleton just now? Maybe the owner of the castle ate all the meat. The little fox speculated maliciously.
"Don't think about these for now, time is running out, I'll hide first."
Ye Mu didn't have time to think about it, so he picked a relatively hidden place under the table and got in.
Ye Mu leaned over the place at the bottom of the table, he took a deep breath, and his left hand began to adjust the buoyancy of the wetsuit in the water, allowing his body to slowly float in the seawater.
