[When I code this chapter, my heart is beating a little fast......]

Looking at the 4,270 skill points he now has, Ling Chen thought for a while, divided 2,400 points, and put them on Tiangang Jue, a flash of brilliance flashed, and Tiangang Jue was suddenly upgraded to level 4.

[Tiangang Jue]: The current level is lv4, and the highest level: lv10. Skill potential points required to upgrade to lv5: 3600. Ancient Combat Techniques, after practice, you can greatly improve the ability to control any weapon. Effect: Increases damage dealt by 20% when using any weapon. Does not stack with other weapon masteries.

There are still 1870 skill points left, and Ling Chen will keep them for the time being. Then he walked towards the Castle of Skulls in front of him.

It was too quiet here, except for the sound of his own footsteps and the small sound of Xiao Ash running, Ling Chen couldn't hear any other sound at all, not even the slightest sound of wind. Coupled with the white bones everywhere, it was like a dead area where no other living beings existed, dead and silent.

With an even footstep, Ling Chen came to the only entrance to this skull castle. In front of me was a tall door of white bones, several meters wide and several meters high, the door seemed to be hidden, and it could be pushed open with a light push. Ling Chen stopped in front of this Gate of Bones, and Xiao Ash stopped before him, the hair on his body stood up, and he let out a low "woo" sound from his mouth, and then quickly ran to Ling Chen, warning him not to go in.

Obviously, from this skull castle, Ash sensed great danger. Its reaction made Ling Chen frown suddenly...... Depending on the level of danger, Ash's reaction is also different. And the hair on the whole body has only stood on end once before today...... That time was on the Silent Soul Ridge, and encountered a terrifying battle demonic beast.

Ash's warning voice was also low and low, obviously afraid that his voice would be too loud and disturb the terrible enemies inside.

Cast into such a huge skull castle, I don't know how many bones left behind after the death of living beings, how much death aura is gathered, and I don't know how eerie it will be. Such a castle can only exist in hell. So, who exactly is it...... Or some living being, some dead soul, who built this castle! Could it be that the countless white bones piled up here have evolved over 10,000 years and condensed into a super "necromancy" that is so powerful that it has independent consciousness?

And those who can exist in the Land of Bones, and survive in it, can only be "necromancy", right? How could a living creature be willing to exist in such a terrible place full of bones!

Standing in front of the gate made of white bones, Ling Chen did not move for a long time, during which he concentrated his spirit and listened to the movement inside...... Ten minutes passed, and he didn't hear anything from it, and there was a dead silence.

Is it empty inside?

No way...... Ash's reaction, as well as the sense of danger churning quickly in the depths of his heart...... There must be something terrible hidden in this castle.

So, do you want to go in and have a look?

Those masters of Blue Dragon City who came to the center of the Forest of Bones would never die on the way here, after all, the skeleton monsters here were only level 20, and there were so many strong people who entered the Forest of Bones, and there were only those who entered this center who did not return...... In other words, those masters died after entering here. The only thing that can cause their death is ......

This skull castle in front of you!

You can imagine how terrible it is to hide something in it. If you just push the door in, even those super powerhouses in Qinglong City will all die, and a little player who is only level 17 will be as doomed as them.

But knowing this, Ling Chen's hand was still pressed on the door of the white bones, feeling the coldness coming from the palm of his hand, and he was silent for a while...... Knowing that there is an extremely great danger ahead, and taking a step forward will only lead to death, ordinary people will choose to retreat, which is also the most correct and wise choice. But if Ling Chen did the same, he wouldn't be Ling Chen.

He was born to be the kind of person who knew the danger and tried more. How many times in his life he had wandered on the edge of life and death, he could not count. That's not once or twice, not ten times or eight, but a hundred, a thousand times. His ability is also breaking through on the edge of life and death again and again...... Until the limits of normal human beings are broken...... Therefore, the least thing he fears is danger and death. If he had retreated, he wouldn't have been where he is today, and he wouldn't be any different from an ordinary player.

Let me see what's in there!

The hand pressing on the door pushed forward, and although the door of the bones was very large, it had been easily pushed under his slight force, and in a dull sound, it slowly opened inward. An eerie and icy aura came from the surface of the White Bone Gate the moment it opened, causing the temperature on Ling Chen's body surface to drop a few points.

Ling Chen's brows sank, his eyes narrowed slowly, and he looked inside with the opening of the door, and at the same time, in his left hand, he already held a pineapple...... "Angry pineapple" from the beckoning cat. He didn't push the door open in a hurry, and if he did encounter an enemy that he couldn't resist at all, he would stun him with a pineapple bomb and escape quickly.

The huge door of white bones was completely open, the light inside the door was very dim, Ling Chen could only see the white ground, unable to see anything deeper, he held his breath and stepped into this skeleton castle.

"Ding...... You have entered a dangerous place: the Eerie Castle. ”

When you step in, a chime rings in your ears. Ling Chen raised his vigilance to the maximum, his eyes quickly glanced around, the light here was dark, and the light from the open skeleton door behind him could only see less than thirty meters away, and there was only white ground in the field of vision, nothing else, after a slight pause, Ling Chen took one step, two steps, three steps forward......

Rumble!!

A loud bang suddenly came from behind him, and the light suddenly became dim, Ling Chen turned his head suddenly, and found that the wide open door of white bones was closing quickly and automatically, and the moment he turned around, it was completely closed, and the light from the outside was completely blocked.

The surroundings suddenly darkened, Ling Chen was shocked, quickly turned around and rushed to the closed door, grabbed a skull on the door, and pulled hard...... The door of white bones, which was originally opened with a slight push, was unmoved like a boulder under the pull of almost all his might.

Ling Chen's teeth gritted slightly, and he grabbed the door with both hands, pulling with all his strength, and then tried to push it open...... After several attempts in a row, he could no longer move this Bone Gate. He had to give up, staring at this self-closing door of bones for a long time, and whispered, "Xi Ling, try to destroy it." ”

The only thing that can forcibly destroy the scene is the light destruction ability of the flame of the tide spirit. The wings of the Xi Spirit flapped, and a "crimson ray" with extremely strong single-point destructive power shot directly at this skull gate.

There was a "poof" sound, and the intense red fire stayed on the Bone Gate for a short time, and then quickly extinguished, but it did not burn through the Bone Gate. When the flames were extinguished, only a slight burn mark was left on the door. This trauma is basically equivalent to nothing.

"Try again!"

After the cooldown, another crimson ray was released, but the miracle did not appear, except for a burn mark that was the same as before, and did not cause substantial damage to the door at all. Ling Chen didn't let Xi Ling continue, because it would be in vain to continue. Ling Chen's expression became more and more condensed, he turned around, took out the scroll of returning to the city in silence, and after thinking slightly, he tentatively crushed it......

"Ding...... You are in a special map that is completely enclosed, and you cannot use the Return to the City Scroll. ”

silently put away the scroll back to the city, such a result did not surprise him at all. Now he has been completely sealed in this gloomy castle that he doesn't know what is hidden, and he can only move forward...... You can't get out unless you meet some conditions or die!

I can only move forward.

A quick peace of mind. Ling Chen put away the angry pineapple, replaced it with dual weapons, and then walked forward slowly, in this gloomy castle that could not be out, the angry pineapple was useless, because if there was really an irresistible enemy, even if the other party was stunned for 5 seconds, it would be impossible to get out of here, at most, it would be a few seconds to delay the time of death.

Trample...... Trample...... Trample......

In the confined space, the sound of footsteps is particularly loud, and every step of Ling Chen is like stepping on his heart. As the Gate of Bones closed, the light here became extremely dim, with only the faint light coming through some tiny cracks in the castle's bone walls, and the visibility was less than twenty meters. This skull castle is fifty or sixty meters high, but it is more than a hundred meters wide. He paid attention to every inch he could see as he walked forward, and after walking more than fifty meters, there was still only the white ground in his sight, and nothing else...... After a few dozen steps forward, an incomplete skeleton appeared in front of his eyes.

Ling Chen's footsteps paused slightly, and he walked over quickly, and as he moved forward, his gaze also moved forward, and when he saw something further ahead, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

From the moment he saw the ground where the first skeleton had been seen, one skeleton after another had landed horizontally on the ground, showing various distorted states, some complete and some incomplete. In this forest of bones, Ling Chen has seen too many skeletons, and it can be said that the least rare thing here is skeletons. And what shocked him was not these skeletons, but among the skeletons, there was a ...... Carrion!

That's right! It's a rotting corpse!

Skeletons are the last dry bones left behind by the corpses of living beings after they have completely decayed. And those carrion corpses that have not yet fully turned into skeletons mean ...... These corpses have not been dead for a long time! The skeletons of the Forest of Death are all from the lives that died in the martyrdom of Shura 10,000 years ago. Ten thousand years is enough time for any corpse to turn into a skeleton. Well, these carrion corpses are definitely not from that time...... It's the one who dies after entering here! Judging by the degree of corruption, it should not even be a year away from death!

Is it someone who entered here like himself and died here?

His heart tightened, the appearance of these skeletons and corpses meant that the terrible crisis hidden in this gloomy castle was very close to him, and there were only a few last steps left.

But in this sealed castle, he can only choose to move forward.

So, let me see...... Hidden in front, what exactly!

Footsteps, continue to move forward, one step ...... Two-step ...... Three-step ...... Five-second ......

"Click!"

The decomposing corpse released a disgusting smell, and Ling Chen's right foot stomped on a white bone, making a cracking sound. In sight, there were hundreds of skeletons and carrion corpses. Ling Chen seemed to be aware of it at this time, and raised his head sharply.

What he saw was the largest skeleton he had ever seen in his life......

The massive humanoid skeleton sat motionless on a tall platform made of white bones. Even when seated, it is more than 20 meters high. Ling Chen's gaze went from top to bottom, from the huge skull to the neck, to the white collarbone and sternum...... Then, his gaze was fixed on the right knee bone of the massive skeleton.

Because on that huge right knee, there is actually a person sitting!

When Ling Chen looked there, the person also moved at this time...... She turned around, and then, little by little, she opened her eyes.

What Ling Chen saw was a beautiful girl who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, and a pair of dark eyes that were as black as night and could not see the whites of her eyes.

Her long hair, black as night, danced in the dim light without the wind, caressing her jade-like face, a beautiful, almost bewitching maiden, every part of her face was so delicate that it was seductive. On her body, she was wearing a jet-black dress, as windless as her long hair, revealing delicate snow-white calves under the skirt, a pair of delicate pink toes like ice lotus naturally hanging down, and the delicate toes were crystal clear, like jade carving, showing an extremely sharp contrast with the dark colors here. She clasped her hands around her chest, holding a puppet toy with long ears...... It was supposed to be a bunny puppet, but maybe it was too old and a little old.

Woman...... Child...... Child......

Ling Chen looked at her blankly, the psychological contrast was too strong, so that he lost his mind for a long time, and he forgot what to do and what to say for a while.

The girl's cheeks turned slowly to him, her inky eyes meeting his. Her eyes were unusually dark, flickering with a faint black light as the eye waves flickered. Looking at these eyes, Ling Chen seemed to have seen an endless, deep and endless night...... In the deathly silence, the girl's lips moved softly, making a harsh, tender sound......

"You...... Is it coming...... Send me ...... Doll...... Why......"

Ling Chen: "......"
