The heavy carved iron door is rusty, and the creeper clings to it, mixed with the branches and leaves of roses, those roses that were originally bright as blood have long lost their original bright colors, and only the buds that want to fall are left, as if a breeze can blow them down to dust.

The pouring demonic red light fell on the equally strange ancient castle in front of him, and the combination of the two exuded a dangerous aura that no one should approach.

Qin Ji glanced inside, and there were a large number of roses planted on both sides of the road inside the door, but perhaps because of the lack of sunlight, only some thorny branches and leaves were still standing there, adding a bit of desolation to the ancient castle.

"Are we really going in?"

Ding Muyin grabbed Wu Chengping's arm, her voice trembled a little, she didn't know what was going on, she always felt that the ancient castle in front of her was very dangerous, and she was more worried than the mutant beast behind her.

"It's okay, it's so quiet inside, I guess everyone is gone. ”

Wu Chengping patted Ding Muyin's hand disappreciatively, although this ancient castle looked weird and abnormal, it was a human building, and it was better than the mutant beasts behind him to make him feel kind.

Qin Ji raised his head, looked at a glass window on the steeple of the castle thoughtfully, I don't know if it was an illusion, he always felt that his group was being targeted, and his perception spread out like a mist, and there was no thermal reaction that belonged to humans, but there were indeed creatures moving in the castle, but that kind of creature seemed to have discovered his prying eyes, and immediately ran out of his perception range.

What kind of creature is it? Even mutant beasts will have a heat reaction, could it be that the creature in the castle is a new type of mutant beast?

With a 'squeak', the iron door was pushed open by Wu Chengping and Wei Xu, and the rust fell, mixed with the dead branches of various plants, and the sound in the calm wilderness was even more harsh.

Without stopping long, the group walked into the ancient castle, stepping on the path full of dead leaves, and everyone secretly took advantage of the faint light emitted by the blood moon to look at this ancient castle that had existed for an unknown number of years.

None of them were people who had studied European castles, but just looking at the surrounding layout and the stone materials selected for the building, it can be roughly seen that this castle probably existed in the original world for no less than 300 years.

The three-hundred-year-old castles in Europe either have many legends or have many strange events, vampires, ghosts and other things are especially favored such places, but legends are legends after all, in Qin Ji's eyes, this is just a place that can hide their smell.

As soon as Wei Xu's hand touched the doorknob, the dust on it fell down in pieces, finally revealing the original color of the wooden gate, which was somewhat rotten and carried the dust of history.

"I'm afraid there is no way to live in this place at all, you see, there is so much dust at the door alone, and the situation inside can be imagined. ”

Wei Xu took a step back and pointed to the layer of dust falling from the door.

"We're just taking refuge for one night, not staying in it permanently, so bear with us, and after tonight, we'll go. ”

Qin Ji caressed the delicate pattern on the door, obviously understanding everyone's thoughts very well, but it was necessary to enter the ancient castle, even if it was not safe inside, it was still easier to deal with than the mutant beasts in terms of quantity.

He pushed open the door of the castle and avoided the choking smoke before it reached the door, and only after the smoke cleared before he took the lead into the castle.

There are no windows around, except for the door, not even the slightest red light can be penetrated, Qin Ji asked Xu Qiantong to light the candle on the long table in the center of the hall, the door was closed, the atmosphere was a little depressing, but people couldn't help but relax.

There were at least twelve candles on the silver candlestick, and although the light was not very bright, the faces of the people could be seen clearly in the candlelight, the white wooden chairs covered with soft cushions, the long and gorgeous dining table, and some delicate furnishings could be faintly seen around them.

Qin Ji picked up a candle from the candlestick and began to observe this mysterious castle carrying history from the door, because he had perception, so he didn't have to work so hard, but some things had to be seen with his own eyes and touched in person to have a more intuitive impression.

Besides, the creatures that inhabit this ancient castle are hiding in the shadows to observe them, how can he attract them if he doesn't show some flaws?

The wooden pendulum is still working in a dedicated way after a hundred years, the sound of the gear turning can be heard clearly in the empty hall, Qin Ji wiped off the dust on the pendulum glass, revealing the delicate gear parts inside, the sound is powerful, and there is no jamming, it is indeed a good thing that can be passed down for a hundred years.

The candle was raised, and the faint candlelight illuminated the gold-framed oil painting on the wall, which depicted a young man with blond hair and blue eyes, extremely handsome facial features, a mustache, and an aggressive look.

He wears a navy hat unique to the Age of Sail, five or six medals of honor on his chest, and a cane studded with green gems in his right hand.

Qin Ji moved the candle, and the same oil paintings of people were hung on the whole wall, and the people in the picture all carried powerful colors from different eras, but I didn't know if it was Qin Ji's illusion, and I always felt that the people painted on that wall were the same person.

Although there is a genetic factor, it is impossible for the family to remain so similar after so many generations, unless the person in the painting is a person from beginning to end.

Perhaps, there really is a vampire? Qin Ji showed an interested look in his eyes, but before he really saw this legendary creature, Qin Ji was only guessing in his heart.

"What are you looking at?"

Wen Qianluo saw that Qin Ji had been staring at the oil paintings on the wall, thinking that Qin Ji had seen something interesting, so he walked to Qin Ji with a candle.

She glanced curiously at the oil paintings on the wall, only to feel that the characters on the paintings were very expressive, and the rest of the feelings were gone, and she didn't know why Qin Ji could look at them for so long, could it be that he was still interested in these works of art now?

"Nothing. ”

Before verifying his idea, he didn't want Wen Qianluo to worry, if there was any danger, he just needed to strangle it in the cradle, there was no need to cause panic.

Qin Ji pulled Wen Qianluo back to sit at the long table, he just had to wait quietly for the things in this ancient castle to make a move, before that, it would only be those creatures who had not yet shown up in their hearts that were anxious.

Time passed minute by minute, without the invasion of mutant beasts, the temperature in the castle was suitable enough, and with the warm light of candles, everyone sitting in the soft chairs was a little out of spirit, yawning from time to time.

Qin Ji didn't remind them either, since he wanted to lure out the creatures hidden in the ancient castle, he naturally couldn't let them detect the abnormality, and he even retracted his perception to five meters around him, so as not to alarm them.

He wanted to see what kind of creatures had occupied the castle, and it had not yet become extinct.
