90. Accidental fall
Just as they were talking, a black mass fell out of the hole, and Feng Yuan poked it open to see that it was the skin of a bat.
"Really, you guessed it accurately," Feng Yuan praised.
"I speculate that the situation is like this, the person who made this magic circle first built a stone tower in the secret room on the third floor of the castle, and then transported a lot of pigs, cattle and sheep in, and then brought the little bats in, closed the secret room, activated the magic circle, because the animal could not escape, was sucked dry by the red-eyed bat, and under the catalysis of the magic circle, it became an alien body, and the bats got enough nutrition, so they continued to reproduce, producing hundreds of bats, flying out of the cave and wandering in the castle"
"So what is his purpose? Letting the bats out to scare people? Fengyuan asked.
"Maybe it's some kind of ritual, I guess, as for the alien body...... I can't think of it, but something caused the castle to turn upside down, so everything was buried under the dirt," Ling Ye explained.
"So what do we do next?" Huang Junming asked with a frown.
"Boom......" Ling Ye pointed to the top, "Climb to the top and destroy the magic circle"
"So tall?!" Feng Yuan was almost shocked to drop his jaw, "It's more than 7 meters high on this, how can you climb it?" ”
Ling Ye pointed to the stone tower in front of him:
"Climb with this"
"Huh?"
Seeing that Feng Yuan was still looking at him puzzled, he sighed and responded:
"There are a lot of bats at the bottom of the cave entrance, first grab them and climb up, climb about half a meter away is the bottom of this upside-down stone tower, and then insert your hand into the hole, I guess since you can raise bats, this hole should be quite deep, the position of the grip is still there, and then layer by layer up, to the top of the largest circle, you can touch those candles, I guess the candle is not far from the circle, erasing the mark of the circle should be able to destroy it"
"What you said sounds good...... Feng Yuan glanced at him, "Why don't you go up?" And those words 'I guess' and 'should', I don't know anything about it, although it sounds feasible, but if I accidentally fall down, I won't have to break my bones."
"I'm not physically good, and besides, rock climbing, which requires strong arm ......strength," Ling Ye explained.
"No...... I'm not going! Feng Yuan didn't wait for Ling Ye to say the next sentence, and directly refused.
"That'...... I'll go! After that, Huang Junming began to roll up the cuffs of his clothes and pants, ready to start climbing, "You remember in the night, every time I pass by, I will tell me the next direction"
"Okay!"
At first, he didn't cooperate well, Huang Junming lost his hand, almost fell down, but he stepped on a protruding stone with his foot, and barely stood firm, and then Huang Junming climbed higher and higher, Ling Ye's heart also hung up, he stared at Huang Junming's hand, and didn't dare to report the wrong position at a step.
It wasn't until Huang Junming climbed to the top and squatted in the depression of the stone tower and the floor that he breathed a sigh of relief.
In front of him was a candle close at hand, the candle flame glowed brightly, and the wax oil fell to the ground like a light rain, making a 'horn' sound.
In the middle is a red hexagonal circle, with a candle on each corner, and a pattern of an alien body is drawn in the center of the circle, it seems that this is indeed a magic circle that summons alien beings.
Huang Junming stretched out his hand, wanting to wipe off the red mark, but as soon as his hand touched it, it was like being hit by an electric current, and he trembled.
"Ahh Be careful! ”
Ling Ye shouted anxiously, he saw that Huang Junming's feet were about to slip out of the depression because of the trembling, and hurriedly reminded.
"I should have gone up if I knew this was the case"
Feng Yuan looked at Huang Junming nervously, he knew that this stone tower was not big, and he was worried that he would not be able to squat steadily if he climbed up, and if he fell, he would at least have the consequences of breaking his leg, so he had the heart to retreat.
But looking at Ling Ye, who was thin like a little chick compared to himself, and Huang Junming, who was blind on the top, regretted a little in his heart.
And in the next moment, Huang Junming, who was in good shape, adjusted his posture and touched his hand to the burning candle.
Since the mark can't be erased, then pulling out the candle can be regarded as destroying the magic circle, he thought to himself, he held the root of the candle in his hand, this time there was nothing abnormal, he pulled it down hard, and the sweat of the bean was flowing down his cheeks, but the candle seemed to be tightly sucked by the magic circle, and it didn't move at all.
He adjusted his posture to exert his strength, and was about to pull again, but a cool breeze blew on his face.
Wind? He was a little unsure, after all, this was the third basement floor, and there would be no wind, but he did feel a chill on his face, and his hand holding the candle unconsciously loosened.
But this picture fell in Ling Ye's eyes, and it was indeed a different one.
A blue ghost stood in front of Huang Junming, and a long strip like an arm was pushing Huang Junming.
He knew it was Li Xiang's soul, but why?
Li Xiang is preventing them from destroying the magic circle?
That's not right, it's obvious that she has been guiding them here, isn't the purpose of destroying this magic circle, so that the bats will not continue to turn into alien beings and kill them?
Why did you want to stop Huang Junming's actions?
Ling Ye frowned, puzzled, and at this time, Feng Yuan urged Huang Junming loudly:
"That's it, pull it off quickly!"
Huang Junming strained himself, the candle sticking to the root was slightly loose, he swayed from side to side, gritted his teeth and pulled the candle, and at the moment when the candle was about to fall, his foot slipped and fell straight down.
"Oops, attention is on the candles, not on the feet"
He looked at the falling body, regretted his carelessness, and then sighed deeply:
"Perhaps, this is how it should be"
Suddenly, the sound of the wind in his ears stopped, and Ling Ye's shouting also stopped, he felt as if his body was being held up by something soft, and in doubt, Ling Ye rushed up, pulled up his body, and asked anxiously:
"Are you alright?"
"No, what's wrong with me?"
"You fell from a great height, but ...... When he was about to get to the end, he suddenly stopped," Feng Yuan answered.
Only then did Huang Junming feel that his body was only half a calf away from the ground, and if it was a moment later, he might really fall to death.
"Candles!" Huang Junming suddenly thought of something, and touched his hand, "Ling Ye, take a look, did I pull the candle down?"
"No ......"
Ling Ye shook his head when he saw his hands full of wax, and the candle on the top was still hanging upside down on the ceiling, as if nothing had happened.
