It doesn't matter if the Holy Light is not skillful, and the Shadow is used well, because what is lacking now is not combat power, and Ethan is worried that if he is in this environment for a long time, everyone's physical condition will become worse and worse.

He wasn't worried about the few on his ship, but about the other adventurers, especially the ordinary crew. Most of them don't have a full set of magic stone equipment like their captains, and occasionally a few of them are already the main combat force, and most of the crew members use ordinary equipment.

Ordinary equipment doesn't have energy barriers, and they can't stop this energy from eroding their bodies.

As time passed, the effects began to appear, and several adventurers who had been slightly injured before and had only been treated with a simple treatment showed various symptoms.

The face is pale, a large amount of negative energy has gathered in the body, and at the same time, the eyes are dull and the response is slow, many people also have symptoms such as fatigue and chills, and a few emotions have become very violent, and the slightest stimulation will explode, and even wave the weapon in their hands to attack their companions.

"It's getting worse and worse. ”

Brent's face also turned worse and worse. He now faces a choice between continuing to strengthen his beliefs and moving deeper into the depths.

Or stop there, turn back to the beach before the situation gets worse, and get out of the area with everyone. In this way, those who have various symptoms may be cured.

Brent struggled for a while, and finally chose to give up.

"I didn't bring you here to watch them die. Brent slammed the big sword in his hand on a stone next to him, gritting his teeth: "Let's go back!"

No one objected, and many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this land is too weird. First the frenzied attacks of the boundless terrifying creatures, then the thick mist with the strange smell, and then even the companions become more and more weird, and the devil knows what else will happen.

They were happy to hear that they could leave, but when they turned around and walked in the direction of the sea for a while, what appeared in front of them was not the familiar sea and the big boat that everyone had been on when they came. Rather, it was a cliff that seemed to appear in front of everyone out of thin air.

"It can't be!"

Fazio was the one in charge of the team to keep track of the direction and determine the location, and he had a whole team of adventurers under his command to help him keep track of the path he had traveled and ensure that they could go back the way they had come if necessary.

He led the group back according to the previous records and markings, but was blocked by the cliff, which he couldn't believe at all.

One person can make mistakes, and it can't be the whole team to make mistakes, right?

"What the hell went wrong!"

Fazio repeatedly checked the records in his hand, and kept wandering around to compare them, but no matter how much he checked, the records he had left behind told him that he should move forward.

"Maybe it's not that we made a mistake, it's that we walked past and this cliff appeared to stop us. ”

Ethan had been watching carefully, and after spotting the few inconspicuous footprints on the mountain wall, he confirmed his guess.

"Look there, it should have been left when we came. ”

The fog has dispersed a lot more than before, and everyone's vision has recovered a little, at least they can see a little farther away. In the direction Ethan pointed, everyone saw the footprints on the ninety-degree vertical mountain wall.

"This ......"

Brent touched the mountain wall, and he was sure that it was not a hallucination, but a real mountain wall. It was this steep mountain wall that held everyone back.

Strictly speaking, this mountain wall couldn't stop some of Brent, but they couldn't send everyone over, and unless he was willing to abandon all the ordinary crew, he was destined to be stopped here.

"Look in a different direction. ”

He didn't believe that there was no way out, and the people had no choice but to follow the mountain wall, and the road was not smooth, because from time to time a creature that seemed to be a stone structure would rush out of the mountain wall and sneak up on the team.

"Gargoyles?"

There are some differences in appearance, but they are generally closer to the kind of monsters that Ethan knows, except that this gargoyles can freely disappear into the mountain walls, and the kind of gargoyles he remembers do not have this ability.

Fortunately, these monsters can only rush out of these cliffs and sneak attack, and will not attack from other directions.

Even so, the team was once again attritional, especially the more serious adventurers who were corrupted by negative energy before, and along the way, I don't know how many people turned into undead creatures, and then were killed by their former comrades.

Brent's face was covered with dark clouds, and even Brad, who had always been relaxed before, as if everything that happened here was not difficult for him, his face was not very good-looking at the moment.

Ethan looked around, if they were an army, then now this was a rout army that had just suffered a defeat and was fleeing the battlefield in disarray. The crowd seemed demoralized, they didn't know what to do now.

"It's not good to go on like this. ”

Brent was bent on figuring out what had been found here, but after organizing so many men, he suffered successive setbacks as soon as he landed, and fled in all directions without even figuring out the specific situation, and Ethan doubted that this blow would affect Brent's faith.

"All stopped. ”

Brent, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, and he looked ahead with a solemn face.

Right in front of the team, the fog was thick like a wall, but when everyone stopped, the thick fog like a wall slowly branched out a pathway, as if inviting them to pass.

Without the barrier of dense fog, everyone found that in front of them was a huge castle that covered an extremely large area and was at least a dozen stories high.

"It's weird to see something like this in this kind of place, right?"

Logan had already put away his cigars, and when he smoked cigars in this environment, he couldn't tell whether he was smoking the smell of the air or the cigars, and Logan, who had lost his greatest pleasure, was now full of complaints, and wanted to say a few words when he found the opportunity.

"Anyone in their right mind knows that it's weird here, and the current situation is where we have room to refuse?"

Ethan pointed around, and several people around him also followed Ethan's hand and looked around. The surrounding fog had all dispersed, and everyone could see the situation in the distance.

At this time, everyone noticed that everyone did not know when, they were trapped in a valley, surrounded by steep mountain walls, and even a cliff appeared in the direction they had just walked, less than a hundred meters away from them.

Brent also noticed this, and although he didn't know who the enemy was, it was obvious that the other party was forcing them to enter the castle.

Of course he wasn't afraid, the situation was actually better than not even seeing the enemy before, maybe he would know who had done it all when he entered the castle, and it was better to have a definite enemy than to go against something inexplicable.

"Any suggestions?"

Along the way, Brent has a general understanding of Ethan's strength and wants to see what he thinks.

"My suggestion?" Ethan touched his chin, he didn't like to follow the enemy's train of thought, when there was such a situation where the enemy was forced to enter the castle, his first reaction was not to go in, and simply tried to blow up the castle directly: "How about you bomb this thing now?"

"No kidding. Brent waved his hand, hoping that Ethan would give him some more serious advice, but when he noticed Ethan's eyes, he suddenly understood: "Are you serious?"

"Of course. ”

Ethan felt a little speechless, could it be that his expression just now seemed like he was joking?

"How do you fry it?"

Brent looked at the castle in the distance, standing so far away that he knew how huge the building was, if it was at sea, he could have destroyed the castle with the magic stone cannons on the warship, but he didn't have such a weapon in his hand now.

Ethan motioned for Brent to stand back, and the job was left to him.

Although it was said that it was handed over to himself, Ethan could not destroy such a large building by himself, and he needed a helper to do so.

"Loki, come and do me a favor. ”

Loki had a look on his face that he was concerned about me, and he was very reluctant to help, but he hated this place even more and wanted to get out of here sooner, so although his face was full of reluctance, he finally walked out.

"What are you going to do?"

"Do you still have an impression of the blizzard that Gianna performed before?"

"You want to use that magic, that magic doesn't seem to be much of a threat to the building......" Loki said halfway, suddenly understanding what Ethan was up to: "You want to use the principle of that spell to condense the power in the Frost Box into a more powerful blizzard?"

Loki was worthy of being a genius mage in Asgard, and it immediately occurred to him why Ethan should help himself, because only he could use the Frost Crate, and the frost energy contained in it was much more terrifying than the blizzard that Gianna summoned from some of the cold regions of Azeroth.

A blizzard condensed with this energy can destroy any building.

"Sounds interesting. ”

Loki had never done that before, and he was happy to cooperate with Ethan, and by the way, he would have seen how Ethan did it, and maybe it would be his killer move.

It's just that Ethan had just taken out the Arcane Fountain when a figure suddenly walked out of the castle slowly, and at the same time, the familiar mental fluctuations of this person made Ethan realize that this was still an acquaintance.
