Chapter Forty-Eight: Monsters

"Since Elder Liu is the caretaker and betrayer of the second layer, in other words, the second layer is now in a vacuum. Let's take this opportunity to hit the second layer in one go, and don't waste the golden opportunity that Zhang Hu fought for us. Jian Zhiqiong suggested.

"Yes, Chief. Zhong Yinzeng quickly collected his mood and quickly entered the role.

Zhang Chengfeng also nodded, carrying Xiaoyuan on his back, catching up with Jian Zhiqiong and Zhong Yinzeng. Jian Zhiqiong and his party walked quickly and straight to the stairs leading to the second floor.

"Ouch, Zhang Hu, you are really great, willing to sacrifice yourself to buy time for others. Liu Lao, that is, the betrayer, looked appreciative.

"By the way, you haven't told me yet, how can you see through my disguise? The betrayer didn't seem to mind wasting time in the lair with Zhang Hu at all, completely ignoring Jian Zhiqiong and the others who were on the run.

"You deliberately used Zhang Bao's last words to stimulate me, the last words are absolutely true, and it sounds like there is no problem at all, but you don't know that you have fallen into the verbal trap set by Zhang Bao. Zhang Hu slowly explained that he was happy to add more time to Jian Zhiqiong.

"My brother would never call me Tiger like that, and at first he was already telling me that his last words were not as simple as they should be. 」

"I continued to listen, and he said that I had made a mistake and that I had to believe Elder Liu. This sentence sounds entirely on your side, and you rightly feel that there is no problem, so you repeat my brother's last words to me in the original sentence. But in fact, the message that Liu Bao wanted to convey to me was: I have made a mistake, don't believe Liu Lao!" Zhang Hu sneered.

"I can't imagine that useless waste would have this before he died, and he ruined my wonderful performance. The betrayer's tone was full of regret.

"But even so, everything you have done is in vain, they will not escape the castle of despair. You don't know how terrible the first layer of caretakers is. The betrayer sneered.

"It's a pity that you don't have a chance to see it, so I'll let the clown greet you well, chop off your limbs, and tear your flesh off with his steel claws, I'm so excited to remember your painful and desperate expression!" said the betrayer with a sickly smile on his face.

"I knew you monster didn't keep your promise, but I'm sorry you won't have a chance to torture me. With determination on his face, Zhang Hu sprinted towards the window of the corridor.

After Zhang Hu smashed through the window, he was instantly swallowed up by the darkness surrounding the ancient castle.

"Madman, such a good soul has been wasted!" said the betrayer angrily.

The only survivors of the entire Desperate Castle are Jian Zhiqiong, Zhong Yinzeng, Zhang Chengfeng and Xiao Yuan.

At this time, Jian Zhiqiong and his party had successfully reached the second layer.

"Brother Dome, there seems to be something wrong with Madoka. Since leaving the third floor and reaching the second floor, Madoka has trembled violently, as if she is very panicked. Zhang Chengfeng was worried.

Jian Zhiqiong looked at Xiao Yuan on Zhang Chengfeng's back, frowning, and also worried. Madoka's face was pale, her head was covered with cold sweat, her eyelashes were constantly fluttering, and her eyes were full of fear and uneasiness.

"Let me carry Madoka. Jian Zhiqiong gently took Xiao Yuan from Zhang Chengfeng, and Xiao Yuan hung on Jian Zhiqiong's chest like a koala.

Xiao Yuan sniffed Jian Zhiqiong's scent, as if she had found a sense of peace of mind in Jian Zhiqiong's body, temporarily relieving the fear and uneasiness in her heart, and her face was not as ugly as just now. Jian Zhiqiong and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chief, what should we do next?" Zhong Yinzeng asked.

"The candlelight in the hallway kept dimming, and it looked like it was about to go out, and it seemed that night was coming, and the keepers would be ready to kill at any moment. Zhong Yinzeng threw out several questions at the same time.

Jian Zhiqiong has always been a lone ranger, but now he has suddenly become the leader of Dawn and Dawn, and he is not used to it for a while. With the lives of many people on his shoulders, it is natural that there are more things to worry about and think about.

Jian Zhiqiong found that Zhang Hu, the leader's chair, was not easy to sit on.

"We went on and hit the first floor. Jian Zhiqiong touched his chin and said his decision. Zhong Yinzeng and Zhang Chengfeng looked surprised when they heard this, but they did not object.

"Now we want people without people, we want resources without resources, and if we continue to drag it out, we can only survive, and it is only a matter of time before we are played to death by the guards. On the contrary, we seized the opportunity that the betrayer did not have time to intercept us, broke the axe, and moved forward bravely, so that there was a glimmer of life. Jian Zhiqiong explained.

"Chief, you don't need to explain to me, your decision is my will!" Zhong Yinzeng and Zhang Chengfeng said in unison.

"Begging for a fight!" Jian Zhiqiong said in annoyance.

Jian Zhiqiong and his party walked down the stairs from the second floor of the Castle of Despair to the first floor.

The first layer is noticeably different from the others. Jian Zhiqiong stepped down the steps, and there was a feeling of being gradually swallowed up by darkness. The candlelight on the first floor was dark blue, the temperature dropped a lot, and the chill of the corridor silently invaded the depths of everyone's hearts.

"Plop, plop, plop!"

"Everyone, be careful! the caretaker is here!" Jian Zhiqiong warned.

A hollow shout came first from the darkness ahead, and Jian Zhiqiong could hear that it was the same voice in the corridor last night.

Immediately, a giant hand grabbed from the darkness, and Zhang Chengfeng was caught by the giant hand without being on guard.

The giant hand is made up of a large number of large and small human heads stitched together, and these heads have endless resentment on their faces, but there are strange smiles on the corners of their mouths. They have no eyeballs in their sockets, only endless hollows.

A long tongue covered with barbs and dark red blood stabbed at Jian Zhiqiong from the darkness, and Jian Zhiqiong's legs were able to avoid the sinister blow.

Then what came into Jian Zhiqiong's line of sight was a giant head. The mouth occupies a large part of the skull, the black lips start from the corners of the mouth and extend to the cheeks, and the sharp teeth are mixed with minced flesh, which is terrifying. A tin hood is worn on the top of the head, revealing only sesame eyes, no nose, and no ears.

"Hungry..." Hungry Hungry Hungry Hungry Tooth by Hunger" Drops of saliva flowed out from between its teeth, obviously Jian Zhiqiong and the others provoked its appetite.

With a loud bang, a rusty giant pig-killing knife descended from the ceiling and plunged into the floor.

Zhong Yinzeng looked at this pig-killing knife with a pale face, if it weren't for Jian Zhiqiong's quick eyes just now, he pushed him forward hard, he would have been cut in two.

Before Zhong Yinzeng could thank Jian Zhiqiong, Jian Zhiqiong had already sprinkled hope powder and fought with the strange monster in front of him.
