The third layer of the Thousand Hidden Kings is overcast in the sky.

A towering, dark castle looms over the gray mist.

Thousand Hidden Castles: The Sleeper's Room.

Rows of white candles are neatly placed in the corners of the room, and the dim light illuminates the walls, where frescoes hang from the dusty walls.

The mural depicts thousands of people, kneeling and worshipping reverently.

At the top, a sacred figure dressed in a golden robe, wearing a triple crown, holding a cross staff in his left hand, the index finger and middle finger of his right hand are pressed upwards, and his thumb is clasped on the ring and little fingers.

Around that figure, a holy angel could be seen faintly surrounded by names.

The solemn frescoes fill the whole room with sacredness.

In the center of the room sits a slightly raised platform, on which is placed a golden coffin inlaid with various brilliant gems.

The whole golden coffin is dazzling.

At that moment, the lid of the golden coffin moved open, making a creaking sound.

A pair of shriveled hands reached out and pressed the edge of the golden coffin, and then a holy and evil figure climbed up from the golden coffin.

Looking closely, this is a man dressed in a golden starry robe, with shriveled features, prominent facial bones, and sunken pupils. He wears a sacred triple crown with a fist-sized golden gem embedded in it, which exudes a dazzling halo, a quaint cross necklace around his neck, and seven precious stone rings of different colors on the ten fingers of his hands.

This man was none other than Mellon, the king of the Thousand Hidden Kingdoms.

It was not yet twelve o'clock in the morning, and the bell that symbolized the awakening had not sounded, but Mellon had woken up.

I saw Mellon slowly walking out of the golden coffin and walking towards the door step by step.

The closed door opens automatically.

When it walked out of the door, thousands of people in the murals on the walls left blood and tears one by one.

Mellon walked alone in the dimly lit corridor, his heavy steps echoing.

Shake~

The oil lamps hanging on both sides of the corridor are lit up one by one.

A knight covered in full armor can be seen, kneeling slowly, with his head bowed and not looking directly.

Then Mellon walked to the door of a nearby room, and he stopped.

Click!

The door opened automatically, and Mellon stepped inside.

Shake~

Candles in the room are automatically lit to illuminate every place.

Unlike the sleeping room, this room has a luxurious fur carpet on the floor, quaint paintings on the walls, and a variety of delicate ornaments, wardrobes and dressing tables around it.

Mellon walked over to the closet and pulled out a gentleman's white shirt and black tuxedo.

He slowly walked to the dressing table and sat down, slowly stretched out his hand to take off the crown, removed the ring on his finger, and placed it on the dressing table, while fading the golden starry robe he was wearing.

Immediately afterwards, Mellon picked up the puff on the table and applied the white powder to his face, making his shriveled and blackened face a little fairer.

After doing this, Mellon changed into a gentleman's tuxedo, then walked to the nearby hanger and picked up a black bowler hat and put it on his head.

At this moment, the sacred and solemn aura of Mellon's body was removed a lot, replaced by gentlemanly and elegant.

He stared at his appearance in the mirror for a long time, and after confirming that there was no problem, he left the room.

Soon after, Mellon came to a closed door.

At the gate stood two knights in armor, and these two knights in armor slowly knelt down.

The closed door slowly opened as if it had been touched.

An extremely cold breath rushed towards him.

Mellon was completely unmoved, and he stepped inside.

Inside the gate is a small glittering palace, the floor of the palace is paved with gilt pattern stone tiles, and the top is hung with crystal chandeliers.

Candles burn on the chandelier.

In the center of the palace sits a crystal coffin, surrounded by brightly colored flowers, which on closer inspection reveal that they are the flowers of eternity.

Mellon walked to the crystal coffin step by step, and he looked at the crystal coffin affectionately.

Inside the coffin lay a delicate and noble girl in a white evening dress, with long blond hair flowing freely, a long white dress gently wrapping her delicate body, and a beautiful face with her eyes closed.

If Shen Qiu was there, he would definitely be able to recognize that it was none other than Erin lying in the crystal coffin.

Mellon stretched out his hand trembling slightly, gently stroking the crystal coffin, his cloudy eyes revealing complex expressions such as sadness and longing.

After a long time, Mellon slowly took a few steps back, he stared at Erin in the crystal coffin, slowly raised his hands, and made a dance movement.

Mellon danced softly, his steps were very slow and gentlemanly.

The cloudy eyes were full of tenderness, although it seemed to be dancing alone, in fact, in his eyes, he was dancing with Erin in his arms, and he suddenly saw Erin showing a sweet smile at her.

Mellon's shriveled face involuntarily showed a hint of a smile.

Just when Mellon was immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself.

There was a sound of heavy footsteps, waking up Mellon, who was immersed in it.

Mellon stopped dancing and lowered his hands, the smile on his face gone, replaced by a killing.

At this time, a knight dressed in black heavy armor, with a body as high as two meters and four, carrying a silver spear, full of terror and oppression, walked in, and he knelt down on one knee and said to Mellon.

"There are invaders, king."

When Mellon heard this, his shriveled face showed a look of frightening excitement.

"Good, good, good!"

After finishing speaking, Mellon glanced at the crystal coffin and muttered in a low voice.

"Wait for me."

Immediately after that, Mellon turned and left the small palace.

Soon after, Mellon appeared on the castle's lookout with the knight.

Looking down, you can see that there is a deep pit in front of the castle with a diameter of 500 meters and a depth of 300 meters.

Blackened blood flowed from the bottom of the pit, and a huge cross stood in the center.

The base of this cross is long, like a pillar.

On the horizontal part of the cross hung scarlet chains, which extended downwards and wrapped around twelve scarlet coffins.

On the top wall of the pit, there are huge notches, and when the mechanism is activated, four huge stone platforms will extend out, sealing the entire pit.

Mellon said in a shriveled and hoarse voice.

"Ericty, awaken the twelve Blood Knights!"

"Yes!"

Eritch replied respectfully with one hand on his chest.

Soon the mechanism was activated, and the chains wrapped around the cross were pulled, and a pair of hanging scarlet coffins were pulled up from the bottom.

When it is pulled on top, the horizontal chain begins to be pulled.

The twelve scarlet coffins were slowly pulled out of the deep pit horizontally.

Mellon watched the scene, his cloudy eyes revealing a hint of frenzy, and he let out a hoarse roar.

"Wake up, my pious knights, and bring back those invaders"

——

Thousand Hidden Kingdom: The southern gate of the second floor.

An emaciated figure hid in the corner of a house, constantly peeking at the huge city gate in the distance.

I saw that the huge city gate with a height of 50 meters was closed.

There is a mechanical opening mechanism on the wall, which, if pulled, triggers the lifting device and eventually opens the giant gate.

The figure looked away from the massive gate and looked at the side door on the right.

The side door is only five meters high, and it uses a mechanical lock with a pull bolt on the inner door that can be unlocked directly.

However, whether it is the main entrance or the side door, there is a quaint coffin in front of it.

At this moment, the hiding figure seemed to have made up its mind, and quickly rushed out of cover and rushed towards the side door on the right.

At the moment when the emaciated figure approached the door on the right.

Click!

The coffin, which had been stationary, suddenly moved, and the lid of the coffin was pushed open, and a corpse wearing this gray metal armor and holding a long sword jumped out, their faces were very shriveled, like a dried corpse.

At this time, the emaciated figure that rushed up pulled out the Flowing Cloud Long Sword, and the entire sword burned with black flames.

This figure is Yun Xiaoxi.

She swung her Flowing Cloud Sword and slashed at one of the oncoming corpse guards.

Click!

The two swords collided together, and fire flew everywhere.

The corpse man was immediately repulsed, but Yun Xiaoxi ignored it and rushed over taking advantage of the gap.

At this time, one corpse after another corpse guards came up to meet him.

"Fire Serpent Mess!"

Yun Xiaoxi injected power into the Liuyun Long Sword with all her strength, and the flames of the entire long sword burned even more vigorously, and she swept past with a sword.

A black fiery snake swept away, instantly knocking away a corpse guard who rushed up.

She sped forward, watching the side door get closer and closer.

At this moment, there was a bang!

A large coffin, the lid suddenly flew sideways, and a burly corpse guard jumped out with a big knife in his hand.

"Whew!"

The corpse guard let out a hoarse roar, his whole body flashing with his thunderous light, and he leaped to his feet, slashing at Yun Xiaoxi with a volley in the air.

Yun Xiaoxi was startled and immediately dodged sideways.

Click!

The broadsword slashed into the ground.

The solid ground instantly cracked, and the resulting impact directly sent Yun Xiaoxi flying out. After she landed on the ground, she rolled around in embarrassment.

When Yun Xiaoxi got up, the corpse guard had already rushed over, and the flashing thunder dagger slashed straight over.

Yun Xiaoxi raised the Liuyun Long Sword in his hand to block!

Clang.

With the sparks flying, Yun Xiaoxi's whole person slid back seven or eight meters away, and his entire arm was trembling.

At this time, the rest of the corpse guards rushed up.

Seeing this, Yun Xiaoxi immediately turned around and ran.

Soon after, in the gray fog-shrouded streets.

Yun Xiaoxi fled here in embarrassment, she turned her head to look behind her, and saw that there were no corpses chasing her, and her hanging heart eased.

A gentle breeze blew by, creaking the windows of houses along the way.

Yun Xiaoxi walked around weakly, her eyes revealing a look of confusion and grievance.

She's been here for days now, and she hasn't seen a single living person, and she can't see the overlap.

There was nothing to eat or drink here, just a constant gurgling of the stomach.

However, she wanted to leave the ghost city, but she couldn't defeat the monsters guarding the door.

Thinking of this, Yun Xiaoxi's nose suddenly became sour, and his eyes were slightly red.

"Woo~ What should I do!"

On the other side, the first floor of the Thousand Hidden Kingdom.

Shen Qiu quickly shuttled through the alley alone, and his target direction was the entrance of the city gate in the distance.

He was going to observe the entrance to the city gate and look for an opportunity to go up.

Although both Shi Yao and Guo Zong made it clear that it was not feasible to climb the city wall, only by finding the key could they have a chance to enter the second floor of the Thousand Yin King Capital.

But Shen Qiu did not agree with this view.

Just because they can't do it doesn't mean they can't do it.

So he's going to take a look and try it out for himself. This is also the reason why he didn't act with Shi Yao to find it.

In addition, Shen Qiu didn't want someone to find the key to open the side door entrance.

Because once the channel is opened, the variables are particularly large, and the people who may ultimately benefit from the Blue Alliance and the Blue Alliance may have the most people.

And the Red League is left with that little bit of people, and nearly half of them are hung up, and the situation will be even more unfavorable at that time.

So it's better to climb over the wall yourself.

Half an hour later, Shen Qiu smoothly came to the southern entrance between the first and second floors.

He looked at the towering gates and walls, and was also shocked.

I saw that on the walls made of rock and steel, at intervals, there were a pair of dark red coffins, looking horizontally, there was no end in sight.

Shen Qiu took a deep breath, it was the first time he had seen this kind of scene, and he felt a little hairy in his heart.

He suppressed his restless agitation and looked closer.

The main gate is 50 meters high, the side gate is only 5 meters high, and the height of the city wall is about 100 meters.

If there are tools and normal climbing, it is not very difficult for Shen Qiu.

But it is estimated that it is not that simple, thinking of this, Shen Qiu tried to approach the city wall from the side.

When he walked to the bottom of the city wall, Shen Qiu saw a small number of broken coffin lids.

Obviously, these wrecks were left behind by the people who tried to climb before, which means that many coffins have been touched.

But Shen Qiu raised his head and took a closer look, and there was no open empty coffin on the city wall, which meant that every time the bell rang for the coffin here, there would be corpses to maintain and replace it.

No wonder there's no way to spend a way up.

Shen Qiu narrowed his eyes and looked further, and suddenly he was keenly aware of a trace of abnormality, the walls were stained with a lot of tiny white silks, which were like spider webs, connected to the coffins hanging nearby.

If there is no accident, the climber should have touched the white threads and alarmed the monster inside the coffin.

But these white filaments are particularly thin and inconspicuous, and they are also widely distributed.

It's hard to climb on its own, and it's even more difficult to avoid this white silk.

And this is not the most troublesome, after all, it is nothing to be able to see the danger, and the most troublesome is the danger that cannot be seen.

Shen Qiu remembered very clearly, Shi Yao clearly said that there were mechanisms on the walls of this city.

Therefore, in such a comprehensive way, the difficulty is really not small.

If you want to climb up quietly, it's really a bit of a fantasy, unless you can fly over.

But even if it is estimated to be flying enough, not to mention whether it can fly so high, even if it can really fly over, the target is so conspicuous, it will definitely trigger something.

However, Shen Qiu did not flinch because of this, and his eyes showed a eager gaze.

Soon he made up his mind, and he moved along the ramparts, as far away from the gates as possible, to see if there were any suitable climbing spots.

More than an hour later.

Shen Qiu stopped under a city wall, and he raised his head to look up.

I saw that on the smooth walls, there were raised stones, and there were also nail rings that were artificially nailed.

His eyes lit up suddenly, it was obvious that this should be the climbing point that the Blue Alliance had tried, it was simply a sleepy person who sent a pillow.

With these things left behind, the difficulty of climbing suddenly dropped a lot.

However, Shen Qiu also noticed that these measures disappeared near the coffin point hanging in the middle, which meant that the people of the Blue Alliance would not be able to climb up there.

But Shen Qiu didn't care, he felt that as long as he could climb to the coffin point, he would be able to rush up with the chain at that time.

So Shen Qiu began to twist his neck and move his hands and feet.

Do all the preparations.

He stretched out his hand and touched the raised rock mass, then stretched out his right foot, stepped on the nail ring underneath with his foot, and climbed up little by little.

However, after climbing a few meters, Shen Qiu stopped.

His brow furrowed, and white threads appeared on the wall above his head.

Shen Qiu then cautiously stretched out his hand, touched the alternate climbing point next to him, and continued to climb up.

A few minutes later, Shen Qiu had climbed thirteen meters high.

However, Shen Qiu's forehead was already oozing fine sweat, it was the first time he had climbed so hard, and he had obviously explored the way.

His nerves were still tense, for fear of making a mistake.

"Whew!"

Shen Qiu exhaled slightly and stretched out his hand towards it again.

When he grabbed the bulge of the wall above, the sudden bulge suddenly collapsed into it.

Click!

The wall he had just been sticking to suddenly hollowed out a gap, and a spear pierced through.

Shen Qiu immediately sensed that something was wrong, and his body tilted suddenly, forming a bow character, and narrowly avoided it.

Shen Qiu's expression twitched slightly, and he looked at the city wall with a ghostly expression. I knew there was a mechanism, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

However, after the exclamation, Shen Qiu readjusted his mentality.

Then move your position little by little and continue to climb up.

Little by little, time passed.

Eventually, Shen Qiu climbed under the hanging coffin, and Shen Qiu raised his head to look above.

It turned out that there were no footholds such as nail rings on it. And it's covered with white threads, so there's not much room to climb at all.

Obviously, this is the limit, and it is impossible to continue to climb silently.

Shen Qiu's expression changed for a while, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Fight!"

In an instant, Shen Qiu's whole body flashed with thunder, and he suddenly burst out and jumped up, grabbing the hanging coffin with one hand.

At this moment, he was like a fly that pounced on a spider's web, instantly alarming the white silk of the entire area.

Suddenly, one by one, the coffins shook, including the coffin that Shen Qiu was holding.

But Shen Qiu didn't care at all, he quickly climbed up, climbed directly to the top of the coffin, and then stepped on the coffin and pulled the chain, and quickly rushed up.

Click!

The lids of the coffins around them suddenly opened sideways, and some of them were in disrepair and fell directly.

At this moment, I saw a creeping corpse crawling out of the coffin wrapped in rags, shriveled all over, hands and feet with long and deformed claws, grinning and showing sharp fangs.

Shen Qiu's bracelet made a prompting sound.

"Reptile, Atomic Wave Reaction 110, Judgment Level LV2 (Low)."

One by one, the reptilian ghouls locked on to Shen Qiu with red eyes, and they were like geckos, rushing towards Shen Qiu.

Steep walls, flat in front of them.

At this time, Shen Qiu didn't care about the swarming reptill ghouls at all, his eyes were fixed on it, and he quickly dragged the chain and rushed up.

At the moment when many reptilian ghouls were about to catch up with Shen Qiu.

Shen Qiu jerked the chain and climbed straight onto the city wall.

However, after going up, Shen Qiu's heart sank suddenly, and countless reptilian ghouls also climbed up, directly blocking Shen Qiu on the city wall.

At the same time, corpse guards surrounded him with weapons in hand.

The bracelet beeps again.

"Corpse Guard, Atomic Wave Reaction 240, Judgment Level LV2 (Low)"

At this moment, Shen Qiu was completely surrounded, and more and more monsters gathered, but Shen Qiu did not panic.

He inserted the Bone Blade back into the scabbard and crouched slightly, his whole body bursting with terrifying thunder, and then the furious power penetrated into the Bone Blade.

The entire Bone Blade suddenly made a buzzing sound.

"Thousand Blades Thunder Slash!"

Shen Qiu instantly pulled out the blade of the bones and swept it around.

Click!

The swarming corpse guards, the corpse puppets were all killed, and their bodies were cut off.

The entire area was emptied, but more and more monsters swarmed in the distance.

Shen Qiu didn't dare to stop at all, he rushed to the wall in front of him at an extremely fast speed and looked down.

Sure enough, there was also a hanging corpse on this wall.

He immediately climbed over the wall and dragged the chain down.

Boom!

He stepped on the hanging coffin and looked down.

It turned out to be seventy meters above the ground.

At this moment, however, the black-pressed reptill crawled down the wall overhead like locusts.

Shen Qiu glanced back, the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely, and then he didn't care about the height, and then let out a low roar.

"Ahh

Shen Qiu's whole body burst out with terrifying thunder and lightning, and he jumped down. The whole person was like a thunderball, slamming into the ground.

Rumble!

The whole ground was smashed into a deep pit.

Without waiting for the dust to clear, Shen Qiu rushed out of it and ran forward.

At this time, a large number of reptilian ghouls landed and chased after Shen Qiu.

It's a pity that they can't move faster than Shen Qiu, and soon the distance is getting bigger and bigger.

Ten minutes later, Shen Qiu hid in a corner, looking back and watching.

After confirming that no corpse had caught up, he let out a long breath. I wiped the fine sweat from my forehead, and I finally got it done.

It's really not something that ordinary people can do.

He forcibly came up alone, it was so difficult, no wonder the Blue Alliance would give up forcibly over, there are so many of them, it is unrealistic to do this.

After Shen Qiu calmed down for a while, he began to observe the surrounding environment.

He found that the two-story building of the Thousand Hidden Kingdom was obviously much more delicate than the first-floor building, and it was also much more magnificent.

If the slum below is the slum, then the second floor is the bustling city.

The buildings here are no longer rigid pigeon cage shapes, and basically all have their own characteristics.

Shen Qiu glanced at the bracelet time, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and it would soon be midnight.

When the time comes, the monsters of the whole city will wake up, and he will quickly find a suitable place to stay and hide.

Although there are houses in the vicinity, every one of them can be hidden.

But the location is not very good, and once it is discovered by monsters, the direction in which it can escape is limited.

So Shen Qiu walked along the street.

ps: I'm sorry, the person has been hospitalized, and it is estimated that it will take 3-5 days to be discharged. But don't worry, I'll guarantee that the bottom will be more than 6,000 words every day, please understand.
