Chapter 29: Ophelis Manor (23)

Kasbah, ground floor hall.

Chu Chen stood in front of the door of the small room where the task was hidden, took a deep breath, and his face was solemn.

The trip is dangerous and you have to be prepared.

Take out the bear doll and place it on your shoulder so that it is ready to strike.

Take out the kitchen knife and the "statue of the pope" and hold it in your hand and be ready to crush it.

Then he took out the "key of the head of the house", threw it to the shadow, and raised his head slightly to signal the latter to go and open the door.

The shadow obediently complied, the key entered the hole, and with a squeak, the door opened.

A cold wind blew through it, and the bright lights in the hall suddenly disappeared, and endless darkness poured out from all sides like a tide, enveloping the sky and swallowing the walls.

"It's the same trick every time." Chu Chen muttered, his vision became pitch black, and in the end, only nothingness remained.

A ray of red light emerges from the darkness, then grows larger and larger, and finally tears the curtain apart completely.

When the eyes are bright again, the surroundings are completely different.

It was supposed to be afternoon, but the sky was dark.

A large, bloodshot scarlet eyeball hovered over the original Blood Moon, condescendingly looking down at the intruder.

The rain of blood fell in the dark night, and the air was filled with a strong, rotting smell of flesh and blood, which was suffocating.

Countless corpses piled up in a mountain, completely sealing the left, right and rear, and dark blood flowed from the rotting and smelly corpses, converging into a path of flesh and blood that pointed forward.

And at the end of the path of flesh and blood was a black heart that was constantly beating and only the size of a fist.

The heart beat rhythmically up and down, and a dry and gloomy voice rang out all around:

"It's been a long time since I've met an ignorant person who has taken the initiative to break into this place since I got on the last batch of tourists."

Chu Chen didn't answer, but slowly opened his mouth: "You have created several different floors of space, this is the last floor, right?" ”

"Oh?" The heart seems to be interested,

"You can even discover the secrets of the manor space, you seem to be different from those arrogant guys."

This answers.

Chu Chen smiled faintly, and sure enough, it was the same as he thought.

There was one thing he hadn't figured out before, why he was teleported to a similar, but completely different, environment when he woke up the first night.

He figured out the conditions for triggering the teleportation, which was nothing more than carrying a prop with a "tainted" logo on his body.

But what is the point of being teleported? Why on earth did the other party teleport them?

Combined with everything he had been through before, he had a guess.

This so-called Ophelis Manor has a total of four different floors of space!

The first floor is the "normal space" where they spent their first night.

In this space, the portraits of a family of four in the hall have not disappeared, and the picture frames on the second floor are neatly placed on the wall.

As long as they don't actively trigger the rules, they won't be in any danger.

The second layer is the "dangerous space" where they were teleported after getting the "tainted props".

In this space, ghasts gradually lose their restraint and can actively attack them, and the heart's interference with the rules of the trial will continue to increase over time.

No, it's not so much that the other party is constantly strengthening, but because they are gradually "polluted", so the heart can slowly interfere with them.

The third layer is the "ghast space" after the rule is triggered, which is where the ghasts are located and is extremely dangerous.

The last floor is the "heart space" where we are now, the hometown of the culprit who caused it all.

"I've been wondering why you didn't just pull us to the most dangerous third layer to eliminate us, but instead take your time in the unsafe way of 'triggering rules'."

"Now that you look at it, it's not that you don't want to, but you can't do it at all, right? All you have in control is this manor, and you can't control an outsider like us! ”

"So you can only use those items that are 'polluted by you', and set some rule traps to force us to have a relationship with the manor, so that you can pull us into a dangerous space and wipe us out completely!"

Chu Chen, word by word, told all the hidden secrets of this trial, and when the words fell, a small piece of text also appeared in his mind.

[Congratulations to trialist Chu Chen for completing the hidden quest "The Truth Behind the Rules", and the reward will be settled after the trial ends.] 】

Sure enough, there are hidden missions about these!

Chu Chen couldn't help but smile, and began to think about how to defeat this black heart that controlled the entire manor.

"For many years, there are only ten people who dare to enter this place, and you are the only one who has discovered the secret of the rules."

The huge red eyeballs in the sky looked at Chu Chen, and countless corpses in the corpse mountain were churning, and a squirming roar sounded.

But what if you discover this secret? Now that you've found out, you should understand how stupid it is to break into this place alone! ”

A terrifying and almost indescribable mental shock burst out of the eyeballs!

Almost at the same time, countless ghasts in the corpse mountain rose up one after another, roaring and rushing towards Chu Chen!

"Click!"

The statue of the Pope crushed in response, turning into incomprehensible golden runes, surrounding the bodies of Chu Chen, Shadow, and the bear doll.

And that terrifying spiritual impact was also blocked by these complex golden runes.

Useful!

Chu Chen's confidence increased greatly, and he abolished the other party's strongest method, and then he just needed to find a way to solve the other party within the five-minute time limit!

"There's a lot of means." The mental impact was useless, the eyeballs in the sky narrowed slightly, and there was a sharp laugh of "hiss",

"What's the use of a pity? I've devoured thousands of souls over the years, and you're up to you, can you stop it?! ”

"Roar, roar, roar!"

Countless evil spirits struck Chu Chen like a tidal wave, overwhelming the sky and shaking the mountains!

Even though Chu Chen is fully prepared, even if the shadow is not afraid of pain, even if the bear doll is extraordinary.

After all, they couldn't stop this continuous and tens of thousands of ghasts, and they could only watch themselves being swallowed up by the endless waves!

Their defenses are no different from a joke in the face of a wave of this magnitude!

The sharp claws and fangs ruthlessly tore apart Chu Chen's flesh and blood, and blood gushed out, staining his clothes bright red.

The shadow was torn apart in front of its master, then restored to its original state under the influence of divine power, and then torn to pieces again, and so on.

The thin figure of the bear doll has long been drowned out by the wave of ghasts, leaving only the constant splashing of fluff and the increasingly weak cry of "purr".

Too much!

Chu Chen struggled to resist, but there were more and more wounds on his body, and his face became more and more pale.

This kind of offensive, not to mention the end of the statue effect in five minutes, is still a question of whether they can last for five minutes!

It can't be like this, we have to find a way to break the game!

His brain was racing, and within a few seconds of thinking like this, his injuries worsened again, and his left eye could no longer see.

Can't put it off any longer!

Secretly gritting his teeth, Chu Chen's consciousness instructed the shadow: "Leave me alone!" Just go get rid of that heart! ”

The heart was less than five meters away from them, and as long as the culprit was killed, the trial would be perfectly over!

Hearing this, the shadow nodded heavily, and his body quickly shrunk, turning back into a black shadow spread on the ground, and flowing towards the position of the heart at a rapid speed.

And without the protection of the shadow, the ghast swooped down on Chu Chen, holding him down and unable to move.

There was a sharp pain in his body, and Chu Chen's only one eye was left to look at a place not far from him.

There, the bear doll had its limbs torn apart by ghasts, leaving only one arm, half a head, and half a body still struggling to support itself.

There are too many enemies, both "quality" and "quantity", far beyond the previous staircase rules!

This kind of offensive, let alone him, this trial can't be resisted by the trialists together!

Now he and the bear doll are still dying with their last breath.

There are only more than two hundred points of divine power left in the body, and it is only enough for the shadow two life flowers when it is full.

If the shadows can't succeed, the only thing that awaits them is the end of being bitten alive by ghasts!

"It must be successful!" Chu Chen looked at the direction where the shadow was leaving, and suddenly his pupils shook.

"Speaking of which, I've been watching you for so long, you seem to be the only one who can do this."

A hoarse and gloomy voice slowly sounded from all around, like a magic spell, completely extinguishing Chu Chen's last glimmer of hope.

"Bang!"

Countless ghasts raised their hands and smashed them to the ground, tearing the black shadows on the ground to pieces in Chu Chen's wide eyes.

The red eyeballs in the sky showed a playful look, and the sharp laughter seemed to mock Chu Chen's ignorance and weakness.

"It's a shadow, but it's also a substance, isn't it?"

"As long as it's an entity, it can be destroyed."
