Chapter 14: The House of Horrors!
Unlike the castle they were in at the beginning, this reddish castle was surrounded by rings of blood-red unknown flowers.
Countless crows stood at the tips of the castle, making strange calls, their eyes spreading with a strange red, and countless pairs of blood-red eyes seemed to be observing something all the time.
The swaying blood-colored flowers looked particularly strange in the moonlight, and after the baptism of the bone tree just now, the two of them naturally cared a little about this strange thing.
Zhou Wenbo was shocked, and looked at the environment that was still a little evil compared to the main castle.
"Let's go in first."
He clenched his palms tightly, for fear that these red flowers would be like the bone tree just now, after all, if the tree just now was really made of bones, then this blood-red flower ......
Isn't it watered by blood?
Thinking of this, he tugged at Su Mu's sleeve.
"Okay."
Su Mu didn't hesitate, and walked forward, the blood-red flower did give him a strange feeling, which made him care more than the bone tree.
That looming sense of crisis lingered in his heart, as if a stimulus reminded him not to forget the activation of his abilities at all times.
The two stepped on the string of stone steps leading to the castle, ignoring the strange flowers around them, Su Mu tried to push the door, but he didn't push it open.
"It's a bit tight, I guess I want some key."
Su Mu didn't panic, pinched his chin, and kept observing around the castle gate.
But looking at the two lonely handles on the castle, and there was nothing that seemed to require a key medium, Su Mu tentatively pressed the wall tiles around him to see if they could be pressed down.
Zhou Wenbo watched vigilantly from the sidelines, for fear that the blood flower that had been making a swishing sound since the two of them approached would suddenly attack.
"The flashlight is on."
Su Mu, who was still observing the gate on the side, suddenly spoke, Zhou Wenbo did not doubt him, and hurriedly took out the flashlight from the pocket on the right side.
The button of the switch was pressed, and the rusty flashlight creaked, and a white light emanated from the head of the lamp.
"The brightness is still quite large, but it's much better than an ordinary flashlight."
Su Mu nodded a thumbs up, the flashlight in Camille's hand was really a good product, and it was actually an extraordinary thing.
"Look at the flowers and see what they do."
Hearing this, Zhou Wenbo hurriedly shone the light of the flashlight on the blood flower, the blood-colored flower was as if it had encountered something nasty, in the sight of the two, the roots were pulled out of the soil, revealing the roots like five fingers, and all the blood flowers illuminated by the light retreated flexibly, and the vigorous appearance made Zhou Wenbo wipe a cold sweat.
"This ..... It's too nerve-wracking..."
Zhou Wenbo's throat was a little dry, after all, the feeling given to him by the bone tree was not so strong, but this kind of blood flower with roots like human hands was like a human body transformation, and the constant crawling appearance made him a little nauseated.
"After all, it's not a reality here, trees can run, and flowers can't run, right?"
Su Mu didn't care too much, and saw that with Zhou Wenbo's irradiation, the blood flowers continued to retreat, leaving a clearing around him.
"You keep looking, I'll go over and take a look, I feel like there should be a clue to enter the castle."
Su Mu admonished and walked towards the edge where the blood flower was before, while Zhou Wenbo nodded hurriedly, feeling a little inexplicable.
Although they have no way of knowing the danger of this blood flower at present, he does not doubt the horror of this evil thing, but Brother Su Mu actually believes in him so much....
Su Mu naturally didn't know Zhou Wenbo's mental activities, and his mind was in the retreating blood flowers.
To be honest, in addition to looking for clues to open the castle, he wanted to get an introduction to this blood flower.
stepped on the blood-red soil where the blood flower was just now, the soft soil made Su Mu's feet sink slightly, and a pungent fishy smell came to his face, Su Mu couldn't help frowning.
The strong smell of blood also contains a rancid smell mixed with a hint of flowers, and the overall taste is extremely strange.
Forcibly enduring this unpleasant smell, Su Mu walked forward, and Zhou Wenbo's lights continued to follow, and in the part where the lights left, countless blood flowers quickly returned to their original positions from the shadows.
"Sure enough."
Walking almost ten meters around the wall, under the side window of the castle, a hemp rope tied to a rusty iron round buckle appeared in Su Mu's field of vision.
Most of the rope was buried in the soil, and Su Mu bent down and lifted it up with force, roughly estimating that it was almost five or six meters long.
[Worn-out lanyard: It looks like it's been around for a long time, so it should be fine if you use it.] 】
Sweeping the introduction of this hemp rope at a glance, it was an ordinary lanyard, Su Mu looked up.
It seems that the best way to get in from the castle is to climb up this rope..... Su Mu compared the distance to the nearest window in the vicinity, and on the outside of each window was a statue of a bird that looked to be made of iron and bulged outward.
"Uncle, stay still, wait for me."
shouted at Zhou Wenbo, Su Mu tied the end of the rope to his body, tied a relatively strong buckle, and held the rope at the ring in his hand and threw it upward.
Well..... It's okay, when I was a child, I didn't fall behind in the basic skills of playing rings.
Su Mu sighed to himself, twisted the rope and tugged it, feeling that the sturdiness was not bad.
"Brother Su Mu! Hurry up! Those Blood Flower Monsters seem to be resistant to the lights of the flashlight! Keep coming! ”
Zhou Wenbo suddenly saw the fingers under the blood flower that was slow but constantly facing the flashlight light and about to return to its original position moved strangely, and the rest of the blood flowers around him seemed to be surrounding him, and he said nervously.
Su Mu looked around, and the shocking scene made his scalp tingle a little bit.
"Tsk, the gospel for people with dense phobia belongs to yes."
With his arms exerting his strength, his feet clinging to the wall and pulling the rope, Su Mu quickly climbed up.
His physique was not bad, so he climbed to the window smoothly, and after fixing the position with one hand, he slammed the other arm against the window.
The sliding door-like window was instantly struck open by his force, and he quickly grabbed the upper part of the window and jumped in where it could be fixed.
A musty breath rushed into Su Mu's nose, and after glancing at the nearby environment in his gaze, he reached out and lifted the rope up.
"Wait until I go down and open the door for you, and be careful when you stand outside, uncle."
After seeing Zhou Wenbo make a gesture in response, he left from the window and officially looked at this terrifying room.
In the small room, there were flower pots almost all over the sides of the room, and countless strange-shaped flowers on them seemed to be paying attention to Su Mu.
Looking at the purple giant flower closest to him with a bloody mouth, Su Mu sighed silently.
