Section 13 Castles, Dusk, and Strange Shadows (I)
"What the hell are you trying to say?" asked Dora, with some irritation.
The old ghost woman turned her face suddenly, and said coldly: "What I want to say has been said, don't ask me what it means, this is what the man told me, I don't know any divination." β
"That man ......"
Dora bit her lip tightly, her chest heaving and heaving, and it took a while for her to come to her senses.
"Now that we've asked all the questions we've asked, it's time for us to leave. β
Under the greedy gaze of the old ghost woman, Lance put away the pale dragon crystal safely.
The group has gained a bunch of true and false information, and it really takes a while to calm down and analyze it. But it's not a good time to do it.
"Well, let's go. β
The group did not let their guard down, but estimated the length of the magic chain, silently pressed against the wall of the tunnel, and walked over.
"You're too careful......"
The old ghost woman didn't follow, but silently stepped back, and suddenly smiled strangely: "But leaning against the wall, can it give you a sense of security?"
Everyone was in a daze, only to see the old ghost woman suddenly laugh and lean back!
In the blink of an eye, the magic chain "listen, hear, hear" and began to stretch to the other end. The old ghost woman's back was against the stone wall of the Nightmare Tunnel, and under the shocked eyes of everyone, she actually blended into the stone wall like this!
"Not good!"
Lance reacted immediately and turned around.
On the stone wall behind them, the hideous face of the old ghost woman has already appeared!
"Ahh The old ghost woman's steaming black hand grabbed her shoulder.
In an instant, flesh and blood were dripping!
"Run!"
Dora looked at this scene with a grim face, the old ghost woman's ability made everyone feel terrified, they didn't expect that this old monster could endure for so long!
obviously has such an ability, but has been carefully covering it up, such a scheming is really chilling.
"Be my food," the old ghost woman laughed, and the magic chain made a crunching sound. Her movements were visibly suppressed.
But she was still able to open her mouth wide. Bite Valerie's head hard.
Between the lightning and flint, no one could react at all, and the sudden sneak attack made their mental power extremely unstable, and they couldn't cast spells at all!
Valerie screamed wildly. It's about to be swallowed by the old ghost woman. Who knows at this time. A powerful pulling force grabbed the old ghost woman's body fiercely!
"Something!"
The old ghost woman turned around angrily and glared at Lance viciously.
Taking advantage of this moment, Dora grabbed Valerie. and the other two quickly ran away.
"I can pack your things!" Lance sneered, the vial of eternity in his hand was violent!
A terrifying void vortex was immediately formed, and a powerful suction force came from the center of the whirlpool, sucking the black mist around the old ghost woman into it frantically!
"Ah......h
In an instant, the old ghost woman's body was pulled and deformed, but to Lance's surprise, unlike the fog demon, the old ghost woman was able to barely stabilize her body under the powerful attraction of the Eternal Bottle.
The two sides reached a stalemate.
The wind was howling, and the old ghost woman bared her teeth and claws, steadying her body.
The whirlpool at the mouth of the Eternal Bottle does not move like a mountain, the whirlpool rotates rapidly, and the traction force is getting stronger and stronger.
In Lance's heart, a hint of bad feelings flashed: "Damn! This monster is so strong." β
This was the first time he had encountered a monster that the Eternal Bottle couldn't clean up, but the old ghost woman was a third-order monster, and it wasn't very surprising that she had such an ability.
He clenched his teeth, and his spiritual power and magic power poured into the bottle of eternity at the same time, trying to attract the old ghost woman into it in one go.
Once he succeeds this time, he will be able to harvest shadow particles for at least a year or so. In this way, his super high cultivation speed will be able to continue.
After all, the bottle of eternity has been providing him with fewer and fewer shadow particles in recent times.
"You can't destroy me!" the old ghost woman screamed: "Let go of me, let's each step back, I'll let you go!"
Lance snorted coldly: "You broke our trading promises, do you think I will still believe your words?"
Both sides gritted their teeth, one trying to struggle, the other trying to suck the other away.
The other four looked at it from afar, all looking frightened. Valerie, in particular, the female puppeteer was seriously injured in the sneak attack of the old ghost woman just now, her right shoulder was almost completely torn off, and her shoulder blade was shattered, and she was using it to treat Shi Hui's body injuries.
However, the healing stone can only treat some minor injuries and minor injuries at most, so Cheng dΓΉ's wounds, especially those such as broken bones, are beyond the power of the healing stone.
Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her eyes looked at Lance and the old ghost woman with resentment.
"Obviously, he has the strength to compete with third-order monsters, but he has been hiding it. He could have saved me, but he deliberately slowed down by half a beat......"
She thought angrily in her heart.
The other three didn't notice the subtle change in the female puppeteer's expression at all.
They nervously watched the tug-of-war between Lance and the old ghost, and the two sides faced each other for a full ten minutes, and they both became out of breath from being full of energy at the beginning.
The fog around the old ghost woman became thinner and thinner, and Lance clenched his teeth, and at this time, the demon's heart's powerful ability to restore fΓΉ was revealed. His body was still strong enough to last a long time.
But on the other hand, due to the previous fusion with the magic sword, the mana consumption was very strong, and the mana in the Pool of Dawn was less than 30 points.
"It's almost the limit. Lance also had a lot of sweat on his forehead, although he was helpless, but there was no way, it was time to think about the retreat plan.
Who knew that at this time, the old ghost woman couldn't support it first, and shouted loudly: "I admit defeat." Let go of me! I can tell you more information. β
"If you don't let go of me, I'll fight with you! Boy, believe me, although the things in your hands are priceless, your own strength is only second-level, far from being my opponent! Do you want to die with me?"
Lance sneered: "Do you think I'll still believe your nonsense now? You can let me go, but you must promise me one condition." β
"What conditions?" the old ghost woman was obviously a little unsupportable, but Lance couldn't tell if her appearance was disguised, and his magic power was almost at the bottom, and he couldn't maintain it any longer.
At that moment, he said categorically: "I want your heart-shaped stone!"
"Dream!" the old ghost woman was furious.
"Heart-shaped stone. Or die!" said Lance, unmoved. Let the old ghost woman be angry.
However, under the eaves, she had to bow her head, and she couldn't tell how much magic Lance still had, so she resolutely took off the heart-shaped stone on her chest. Far away on the ground.
Lance held the Vial of Eternity. While picking up the heart-shaped stone and throwing it into the Amber Ring. Then one accelerated, and ran to the side of the four!
Listen to it!
The magic chain snapped and cracked, and the old ghost woman pounced angrily. However, Lance and the other four had long since fled, trapped by the length of the magic chain, unable to pursue.
"Damn it! I'm going to kill you!"
The screams of the old ghost woman echoed through the narrow nightmare tunnel.
......
Half an hour later, on another section of the tunnel, a group of five people stood at the entrance of the tunnel, looking at the tall rainforest in front of them, and couldn't help but let out a long breath.
"Finally out of here!"
Landry said with trepidation, "I've come across too many tricky things along the way, right?, a forest of sorcery swords, a moving levitating staircase, a swarm of tricky deathvines, a dream chrysalis, and an old ghost...... If you change to another team, I'm afraid you're going to die here. β
Saying this, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Lance.
By now, everyone except Valerie was convinced by Lance. has repeatedly shown strong and mysterious methods, and can even confront third-order monsters head-on, which really makes people feel admired.
After leaving the Nightmare Tunnel, according to the Demon Sword Aoife, it was already very close to Sivaret.
Strange to say, when you arrive at this place, the climate suddenly becomes unusually hot and humid, and the trees growing in front of you are sparse tropical rainforest. A large number of creatures haunt the forest, and it is noisy and lively.
After a short rest, the group went deep into the rainforest under the leadership of Lance.
They walked along the path through the woods for about forty minutes, and a pointed square tower appeared in front of them.
"That's the stargazing tower in the depths of the castle!" said Dora, excitedly.
She took out the drawing and compared it, and the spire in the distance was exactly the same as the one depicted on the drawing, but much smaller.
The discovery of the castle of Sivare was a booster for everyone. The group quickened their pace, but also carefully guarded against a possible sneak attack - along the way, Lance had already explained to them about the Scorpion Society.
Three second-level wizards are almost the most powerful force of the Flower Scorpion Society. What they wanted to do here, Lance didn't know.
But there is one thing he understands very well - the people of the Flower Scorpion Society are definitely friends and foes.
Through layers of foliage, an open lake emerges ahead. The water is black, and there is an island in the middle of the lake, and from a distance, you can see a mysterious castle in the middle of the island.
There is a dead silence on the lake, and unlike the lively rainforest, it is quiet, and there is no trace of any living thing in sight. The critters of the rainforest seem to know the peculiarities of the lake and stay away from it.
"This is the mysterious lake where birds can't cross and feathers are about to sink?"
Everyone excitedly looked at the lake and the castle in front of them, but at this moment, Lance suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He jerked his head back, and in an instant, a strange shadow flashed in the depths of the rainforest.
"Huh?"
He was just about to use his eagle eyes to see what was going on, but the shadow floated upwards and disappeared cleanly. (To be continued......)
