The black water overflowing from the wellhead slowly overflowed the ground, and the surface of the water, which was less than two centimeters high, presented a terrible scene.

It was a deep, cold, dead sea, where corpses were crowded together like groups of sculptures floating, some swollen and rotten, while others had tightened and lifelike faces.

They were dressed in clothes from different eras, some of them were too old to be recognizable, others were almost the same era as him, and through this sea of terrible corpses, you could see an endless white floating under the water.

There is more than one layer of corpses.

It is hard to imagine what a terrible place this is, with so many people buried.

"Wait! It was the ancient court dress...... And medieval court dresses! They are all survivors who died in this world?!

If it weren't for some unlucky crew crossing collectively, it would prove that this game started hundreds or even thousands of years ago......"

A chill rose in Cheng Shen's heart.

If that's the case,

There are countless survivors who have been to this world.

However, there have been so many people throughout the ages, and none of them have been able to achieve the purpose of the system?

Or is it simply a game that can't be won?

This speculation made Cheng Shen feel desperate.

"There must still be people alive...... As long as you find them, you can find out the terrible truth about this world......"

Cheng Shen thought.

The female corpse in the well did not crawl out further, but the black water continued to spread.

In the blink of an eye, it was almost submerged at his feet.

Corpses floated up in the water, expressionless white faces were strange and terrifying, and some corpses reached out and dragged him, as if to pull him into the unfathomable bottom of the sea and become one of them!

"This is a fucking horror game!"

Cheng Shen quickly retreated.

He has realized what the problem is.

Bonfire!

The reason why this terrifying female corpse was able to invade his territory was because the three-hour novice protection period had expired, and he had forgotten to light a bonfire, causing the territory's protection mechanism to lose its effect!

This is the only possibility.

Otherwise, in the face of this incomprehensible weirdness, it is impossible for any survivor to survive.

He immediately grabbed two logs, ran to the campfire, and added them in.

Laugh at!

An orange-red flame rises.

Immediately.

It's like a ray of light bursting out of the endless night.

The flames climbed, the light spread, and where it shone, the gloom that shrouded the territory was quickly dispelled, and the black water that had already spread to half of the territory suddenly began to flow rapidly after touching the firelight.

The countless arms that were about to reach out of the water were forced to retract, and a chilling resentment twisted into the faces of the corpses.

"You can't escape......"

"I'll be back......"

"It's your only fate......"

Whispers of vicious curses poured back into the well with the black water.

Soon.

The frost melted, and the fire filled the air.

The territory was quiet as if nothing had happened.

But only Cheng Shen, who had experienced it personally, knew how dangerous it was just now, and he clearly saw that there were several corpses that had just died, and they were most likely survivors of the same batch as him!

This thing is horrible.

The attack of the defense tower was completely ineffective against it, and Cheng Shen even suspected that it did not belong to a monster at all, but some kind of weirdness that could not be resisted.

otherwise

It can't explain how so many survivors have been planted in its hands.

"Could it be...... Is it really a ghost? ”

Cheng Shen's heart palpitated.

"Didi."

The communicator suddenly vibrated and startled him.

"Brother Leg? Leg brother! I survived! ”

Zhang Yao sent a message excitedly.

Cheng Shen calmed down and asked, "How is the situation?" ”

"It went very well! You guessed it right, those monsters couldn't break through the castle gates, I stabbed them all to death through the door, the system gave me an A+ rating, and rewarded me with a bunch of things! ”

Zhang Yao replied quickly.

After that, he sent a trading button and said, "Brother Leg, I got two props, I can't use them, but I think you might need them!" ”

Cheng Shen chose to agree.

Two items were immediately placed on the trading column by him.

【First Order Speed Up Scroll】

【Items】

[Level: Rare]

[Note: After use, the next wave of monsters can be refreshed in advance, but at the same time, it will affect the refresh time of subsequent waves, please use with caution]

……

【Trap Slate (Ground Thorn)】

【Items】

[Grade: Excellent]

[Description: It can be covered on the original terrain and stone slabs to generate a 1x1 ground spike area, causing 30 damage per second to enemies passing through the area, and a certain chance to cause a 1% bleeding effect per second]

……

"It's really good."

Cheng Shen was surprised.

Needless to say, the effect of the acceleration scroll is that it seems to have the negative effect of causing confusion in the refresh rate of subsequent waves of monsters.

But actually.

That's exactly what it's good about.

With this scroll, you will always be able to farm one more wave of monsters than others, and you will have an advantage in resources.

Of course.

There are certainly risks.

In this way, if someone else can obtain advance information through items such as the Insight Scroll, it will be completely useless to him.

All the dangers had to be explored by himself.

But in general,

Or the pros outweigh the cons.

The trap slate is a real good thing, Cheng Shen has seen the void slate in the trading market, but he didn't expect that there is an advanced version of the high-end goods.

"These two things really worked for me."

Cheng Shen didn't hide it.

After thinking about it,

Instead, he placed five units of bread and clean water in the trading bar.

Zhang Yao's start is quite special, he can't get the reward resource pack normally like other lords, and he can't open food and water.

These are all he needs.

"Thank you, Brother Legs!"

Zhang Yao happily locked the trading column.

The upfront investment paid off...... However, the secret of that castle should not be so simple......

Cheng Shen thought to himself.

He remembered that he had seen two corpses in black armor in the terrible sea of corpses.

Much like the guards in the castle that Zhang Yao described to him at the beginning.

In other words, it is highly likely that at some point in the past, the castle had collided head-on with the female corpse.

And haven't lost yet.

Just a few guards got in.

As for the price paid by the female corpse, he certainly had no way of knowing.

However, this can at least prove that the castle is very likely to be a weird-level existence that can compete with that terrifying female corpse!

Cheng Shen suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could it be that the castle once belonged to a powerful survivor who had figured out the rules of this world?!

Even if he died.

That castle must also be hiding a great secret.

It is necessary to invest in Zhang Yao!

Cheng Shen was suddenly glad for the choice he had made at that time.
