Chapter 105: A Dark Shadow Emerges

Since a few of them had rested here, they must have walked here, and I took the oil lamp and walked around it, but without finding any more useful information, I came out again.

But after I came out, I was dumbfounded, whether to continue to search room by room, or go straight forward to find the clues of those people.

I originally wanted to chase those people directly, but in so many rooms, if there is a clue left by my grandfather, then I won't miss it.

No matter what, you can't let go of any clues about grandpa. Next, I started to pick up my pace, quickly entering one door at a time, then scanning roughly, and after no clues, I went straight out and into the next door.

I went in one after another, and there were hundreds of doors in the aisle, and after just half of the search, I was already tired. Originally, when he was controlled by the dragon pattern knife inside, he was already a little exhausted, and now with this acceleration, he has long been unable to hold on.

In those rooms, I found one at random, and there was no ash on the table and stool, and it seemed that those people had also been here.

I really couldn't walk, so I sat directly on the stool, took out some food from the backpack, and after eating and drinking, I spread the wide raincoat in the backpack on the vermilion bed behind me, and went straight to sleep.

At that time, I thought about it and found that I was really bold enough. A man in this dangerous castle, without any support, dared to fall asleep there. Perhaps because he was too tired before, he slept very soundly this night, and woke up without a dream.

When I woke up, I found that the oil lamp I had brought over and put on the table had not been extinguished, which was really a bit unexpected, and I thought that the oil lamp had run out of oil in an hour or two, and I still underestimated the oil lamp. But it's okay, so that you can continue to carry the light, which can save the power in the flashlight and use it at critical moments.

When I woke up, my physical strength had recovered a lot, and I turned around and put my backpack on my back again, carrying an oil lamp and a dragon-patterned knife, and checked room by room again.

There are so many rooms in this huge castle, and as soon as I finished checking the rooms on both sides of this walkway, I directly entered a larger courtyard, which was open-air, and now there was no light, and it was already dark outside. Not long after I woke up, I didn't go to find a room to sleep in because it was dark outside, but continued to walk down and check.

The rooms in the castle were all around, and the furnishings of each room were very similar, and it didn't take long for me to get lost. There was no trace of life in the castle, not even a single mouse was found.

I looked at almost every room that was exactly the same, and searched from beginning to end, and from end to end, but I couldn't find the hallway where I came.

Standing there again exhausted, I thought about it, let's just find a random door and go in and sleep. There is no trace of life found here, and the jade pendant on the chest does not indicate any danger, so it should be very safe here, and there is no need to worry.

When I slept on top of my pajamas on the bed this time, it was different from last time, this time it was very cold, as if I was sleeping on top of ice cubes.

I got up from the bed curiously, examined the bed carefully, and found nothing abnormal, and I was a little puzzled. I couldn't sleep here, so I got up and took my things to another room next door, and found that the bed in that room was the same, and it was cold to sleep.

There was really no way, I directly pulled out the two tables in the two rooms and put them together, put the raincoat directly on the table, and used the backpack as a pillow, only then did I find that it was not so cold.

Lying on the table, I found that the room where I saw the plastic bag before, the two tables together, it is very likely that this is the reason.

In the interior of this castle, there is no difference between day and night, and you can only see it when you go out or go to the open air. And to the current location, I don't know how this space is obviously at the bottom of the river, how can there be an alternation of day and night.

I don't understand and don't think about it anymore, the most important task now is to find someone, lying on a simple bed made of two tables, I always feel very uncomfortable. However, compared to the last time in the ancient tomb, it is very good to have such a place to lie down this time.

I didn't say anything all night, and when I woke up, I didn't know what was going on outside, so I thought it was the next day. After getting up, I ate something casually, and once again I was like a headless fly, scurrying around in this huge castle.

Almost every room I saw, I would go in to see if there was a clue from my grandfather, or if there would be any trace of the group of people who had the ambition to enter. I'm in a lost state right now, and no matter what trace I go, it will give me a lot of hope and get me out of this lost state.

The hard work paid off, and once again I found the plastic bag with the "" printed on it, this time in the passage, and there was some biscuit foam on the ground, although there were very few, but the small biscuit foam also pointed out a way.

Walking along the biscuit foam, I didn't take a few steps before I noticed obvious footprints on the ground, and looking at the number of footprints, there were about seven or eight people walking over here.

Looking at these footprints, I felt a pang of excitement in my heart. When I got lost here, it was as if I had seen a road sign, and I could get out of the maze as long as I followed the road sign.

Walking along the footsteps, I found that the ground here is actually soft, no wonder I can be stepped on the footprints. Step on this soft ground and walk forward cautiously, for fear that you will fall if you are not careful.

After walking for more than half an hour, the footprints suddenly turned and entered a door. The door was hidden, and it was impossible to see the scene behind it. I stood by the door and gently pushed the door open with the dragon knife in my hand.

Behind the door was not a room, but another hallway, from which a little light could be faintly seen. There, most likely, it's the exit.

I hurried towards that direction, wondering how these people knew the exit was here. I got lost after a few laps in it, and I was able to easily find the exit and get out of here, whether they had a map of this place, which had to make me wonder.

About half an hour later, I got to the place where there was light. This is indeed the exit, looking at the footprints on the ground, sighing secretly, seeing that things are far more complicated than I imagined, they actually came prepared this time.

But since they know this place, and there is a detailed map to be able to enter here, why do they divide so many teams and let them go other ways, is it just to hide people's eyes? But so many people have died in such a cover-up, and those people really don't take human lives as human lives.

After coming out, the oil lamp in his hand was useless, and although the light outside was not too good, he could see it more clearly. I didn't bother to throw away the oil lamp in my hand, but I just blew it out and put it in my backpack.

Outside, on both sides of the road, there were castles next to each other, almost exactly the same shape as before, but much smaller than the one.

And those footprints, after they came out, they were gone. I lost my direction again, looking at the castles on both sides, and now I had no choice but to look for them one by one. Luckily, these castles are not very large, and it would not be much effort to find them, but just like that, it took me almost an hour to check the first one.

In the first castle, there is nothing to be found, and then the second castle is entered, which is the most laborious way to find it. But there was no other way but to do it.

When I had finished searching for the third castle, and by the time I reached the fourth, I was tired, and I sat at the door of the castle, looking at the blood-red gate, sighing, and praying that there would be any clues inside.

After I had recovered some strength, I slowly got up and pushed open the blood-red door of the fourth castle. As soon as I pushed open the door, a strange aura came to my face. Although this breath is weak, it is very familiar, similar to the smell in the blood pool in the ancient tomb, it is the smell of blood.

When I felt the breath, my heartbeat felt like it was skipping two beats, and then it suddenly got worse. I turned the flashlight to the strongest, held the dragon knife tightly in my right hand, and stepped into the castle step by step.

This castle is the same as the previous three, there are no major changes, it is only that big, only five or six rooms.

Entering the castle hall, I swept around with a flashlight, but found nothing. Cautiously walked to the side hall, at the entrance of the side hall, the flashlight swept inside, only to see that the tables and stools inside were all messed up, as if there were traces of a fight.

After a careful search, there was a mess of tables and stools on the ground, and no one was lying there. I prayed in my heart that there would be no grandfather in the fight that was going on here. Grandpa is so old, no matter who he fights with, he won't have any advantage.

Just as I walked from partiality to a nearby room, and my hand was about to push open the door, the jade pendant on my chest once again emitted a scorching temperature. This time the temperature was higher than any before, and if I hadn't taken the jade pendant down in time, I would probably have to burn half to death.

There was a ghost nearby, most likely in the room behind the door, and I hesitated for a moment whether to open the door or not. I thought about it, what would happen if it was really grandpa here. After that, I resolutely stabbed the door open with the scabbard of the dragon sword.

When the door was opened, the flashlight shone on a bloody corpse. The corpse lay upright on the ground, covered in blood, and a short knife was inserted through its mouth, nailing the man directly to the ground. The clothes on the corpse's body were all flaky, and the wounds that were exposed looked as if they had been scratched by sharp claws.

The smell of blood came from this corpse. Looking at the extent of the clotting of blood around the corpse, the time of death was probably two days ago. In other words, they had been in the castle for at least two days.

Judging from the footprints before, there were seven or eight of them, and there was only one corpse here, so at least many people escaped. I don't know if they will meet Grandpa, or Kong Sanye.

After coming out of that room, I went into the other two rooms to check, and those two rooms were empty, and there was no sign of a fight.

Just as I walked out of the room and returned to the side hall, I suddenly felt a pain in my calf, and I couldn't use my strength anymore, so I fell to my knees on the ground. When I looked back, I saw a black shadow scurrying around quickly, not approaching me, as if he was afraid of something. And at this moment, the dragon pattern knife in my hand actually had a faint feeling of standing out from the scabbard.

I had a deep cut in my calf, and it was bleeding profusely. He pulled out the dragon knife and stuck it next to me, seeing that the black shadow did not dare to step forward, he hurriedly took out the medicine and gauze bandage from the backpack, stopped the bleeding first, and after doing a simple bandage, he struggled to stand up. But as soon as he pulled out the dragon pattern knife and stood still, he felt that his legs were weak, and he knelt down on one knee again.
