Chapter 54: The Castle (Part II)
The ape spirits turned to look at the castle, and there was silence around them, and there was no sound except for the sound of their speech, which seemed strange.
The feeling in the ape's heart was even stronger, and he said, "Everyone, keep up." With that, he walked in.
The group of demon beasts and demons didn't understand where the ape spirit was going, but since they had followed in, they could only continue to follow, otherwise it would not be fun to be trapped here.
The ape spirit followed the feeling, but it was still very cautious, and did not run desperately according to the feeling, but slowly approached, and took a look at the ancient castle by the way.
The inside of the castle was undecently large, and each house was so tall that the windows hung high above it, so that the ape spirit could not see what was inside.
However, the entire castle is very intact and not damaged in the slightest, if it weren't for the vicissitudes of life that will appear after a long time, the ape spirit would wonder if this castle had just been built.
The other demon beasts and demons also looked around in amazement, everything here was so new to them, they shook their heads like rattles, looking left and right, not idle for a moment.
In fact, the ape spirit has never seen such a magnificent building, even if he was captured on the way to the Beast Control Sect, he only saw a little bit, and he could only see a small dot in the sky many times, and he couldn't see it as clearly as this ancient castle at all.
If it weren't for the inexplicable feeling in the ape spirit's heart, it wouldn't know where to go, let alone find a way out, it would probably get lost again inside.
At this time, the ape spirit came to a street, which was lined with various shops, and some items were placed in the front row, but most of the things on it were all weathered, and some directly turned into a pile of waste slag.
The buildings here are not very tall, but they are only relatively outside, with the lowest houses being five meters high and the highest being ten meters high, and each building is made of boulders, exactly like the stones on the city walls.
The ape spirit came to a blacksmith shop, and the reason why he knew that it was a blacksmith shop was that he saw all kinds of weapons in front of him, but these weapons only retained their appearance, in fact, they had long been weathered, and the slightest tremor would turn them into powder.
It is also unknown when the place was built, but it was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the ape spirit walked into it and left a row of footprints on the ground.
The inside is not big, only about 100 square meters, neatly arranged weapon racks, on which are placed all kinds of weapons, to the surprise of the ape spirit is that some weapons have not yet weathered, still cold, just close to make the ape inspiration cheeks hurt. However, the ape spirit can't feel the mana fluctuations that any treasure should have, which means that these are ordinary forged weapons, not refined.
This aroused the curiosity of the ape spirit even more, someone could actually make a weapon into such a realm, which was beyond the knowledge brought to it by the ape spirit inheritance.
The ape spirit picked up a weapon shaped like a knife, the weapon was like a knife but not a knife, one meter five long, the width of the palm, one finger back, no blade, it was quite heavy in the hand, heavy, and the streamers on the blade of the weapon swayed.
The ape spirit waved slightly, and a slender rift three meters long appeared on the ground silently, which made the ape spirit startled and picked up the weapon again. He slid on his finger again, and with a tingling pain, the sakura silver-red blood flowed down, but the weapon did not drip blood.
The ape spirit was completely speechless, his current body could not be injured even by a heaven-level magic weapon, but this ordinary forging weapon was able to break through his own defenses, and this sharpness alone was already more advanced than a magic weapon, at least it had reached the magic weapon level.
This forging weapon is called the embryo, it is the forging technique developed by the strong people in ancient times, they first used a variety of precious materials to forge the embryo, as the grade of the embryo increases, the level of the refined treasure item will be higher, and in the same grade of treasure with the embryo refining is often more powerful, but with the passage of time, this forging technique has disappeared, and now there is no one or demon who can know how to forge the embryo.
The ancient period is the era of 100,000 years ago, and the inheritance of the ape spirit can only be traced back to 10,000 years ago at most, so it is normal to have no knowledge about the embryo. In other words, this castle was built in ancient times, and I don't know why it appeared in the Imperial Zoo.
The ape spirit didn't know that this was an embryo, but instinctively knew that this thing must be very precious, so he put all the unweathered embryos in the arsenal into the space ring, and collected twenty pieces, all of which were above the magic weapon.
After collecting all the embryos, the ape spirit searched the blacksmith shop, and found a small book with four words written on it in a small compartment under the counter, but the ape spirit did not understand the words, but it still put it away.
After collecting everything, the ape spirit came out of the blacksmith shop and walked to the shop opposite.
The shop was apparently a silk shop, with two floors, and it was very large, a hundred and ten square meters, and there were a dozen or so tables on which were piled up with all kinds of cloth, but all the cloth was weathered, and the ape spirit only made a slight vibration that caused the cloth to turn into powder and collapse.
The ape spirit turned around and went up to the second floor, there was only one table on it, the table was not big, only more than ten rolls of cloth could be placed, and there were two rolls of cloth neatly placed on the table, one white and one black, there was no trace of variegation on it, the ape spirit reached out and touched it, it was slippery, but it was elastic, and there was a trace of warmth coming from it, and the ape spirit didn't even think about it and directly put the two rolls of cloth in.
After receiving it, the ape spirit walked to the counter next to it, and found a book in the place where the blacksmith found the book, but unfortunately he still couldn't read it, and the ape spirit also took it in.
In this way, every shop on this street went in and searched for all the things that could be used, and found five books, of course, the ape spirit could not understand what was written on them.
Of course, the ape spirit has been moving forward with the feeling, and the other demon beasts and demons behind him are not nonsense, and they follow the ape spirit slowly, but the freshness at the beginning is gone, and everything around them looks similar, so they can't arouse much interest, just follow the ape spirit wordlessly.
I have to say that this castle is really big, the ape spirit has been walking for nearly half a day or is still circling around the periphery, if it weren't for the ape spirit's inexplicable sense to make it understand that it is walking forward, it is estimated that it will soon get lost in this huge castle.
Gradually, the surrounding buildings changed, if there were only two or three stories in the beginning, now there are six or seven stories in front of it, and the stones used to build these houses are different from the outside, the stones used to build these are black, and the ape spirit does not know what these stones are called, so he does not think too much about it, and continues to walk inside.
There are only tall buildings on both sides of the street, and I don't know what these buildings are used for, if they are used for people, it will seem a little too big, but if it were not for humans, the ape spirit has not yet figured out who can build such an ancient castle.
At this moment, a slight sound came from a distance, and it was already very quiet here, so the sound of a mosquito came into the ape spirit's ears very clearly.
The ape spirit immediately became nervous in his heart, called the demon beasts and demons behind him, and listened carefully, but the voice was not ringing, and the surroundings were still quiet.
The ape spirit is now sealed and can't be checked, and after waiting for a while, there is no movement, and the ape spirit beckons the little brother to walk forward slowly, but the speed slows down significantly, and a pair of eyes scan the surroundings with a nervous expression.
At this time, a black shadow swept overhead, and the ape spirit immediately raised his head, but unfortunately found nothing, which made the ape spirit more cautious in his heart. It found that the castle was not empty, and it didn't know who lived here, hoping it wouldn't be a cultivator.
The ape spirit stood for a while, and walked again, and gradually there were many people staring at him, and the number gradually increased, and even the demon beasts and demons following behind him also felt it, making them look nervous, and look around from time to time.
It was uncomfortable, the ape didn't understand where these sights were coming from, there was clearly no living creature around, but the feeling of being watched was so clear.
Slowly, the pressure in the ape spirit's heart became more and more intense, and the surrounding atmosphere became more and more depressing, the ape spirit's heart beat faster and faster, and drops of cold sweat came out of its forehead, and finally it felt that its chest was dull and almost unbearable.
Finally, the ape spirit couldn't take it anymore and yelled, "Who is it?
The sound sounded in the silence of the castle, but no sound came, only the echo of what it had just said.
Peng Jiu walked up to the ape spirit and said solemnly, "This is not a way, if we can't find the enemy hidden in the shadows, it will be very disadvantageous to us." ”
The ape spirit shook his head and said, "It doesn't have to be an enemy, if it is, it will probably be done before we enter the ancient castle." Although they are not enemies, I don't know why they didn't show up. ”
Peng Jiu continued to ask, "Then what should we do now?
The ape spirit nodded, and said, "Yes, keep going deeper, I want to see what these hiding guys are going to do? If it's to stop me from going deeper, I can't help but show up." Now all we have to do is calm down. Okay, let's go ahead and go. Remember, be vigilant, and if that group of guys attack, we'll be the first to react. ”
Peng Jiu nodded and said, "Understood, I'll pay attention." After saying that, he took a step back and came behind the ape spirit.
The ape spirit took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "Okay, since you don't want to come out, I'll force you to come out and see where you really are." With that, he began to walk towards the depths of the castle.
