Chapter 13 Castles, Dusk, and Ghosts (Part 1)
"Red door? What do you want to say?" Dora asked a little annoyedly.
The old ghost turned his back suddenly and said coldly: "What I want to say has been finished. Don't ask me what it means. This is what the man told me. I don't know much divination."
"That man..."
Dora bit her lips tightly, her chest undulating. After a while, she calmed down.
"Since we have asked everything we should ask, we should leave."
Under the greedy gaze of the old ghost, Lance steadily put away the pale dragon crystal.
The group has gained a lot of real and fake information, and it does take some time to calm down and analyze it. But it is not a good occasion now.
"Yeah, let's go."
Instead of relaxing his guard, the group estimated the length of the magic chain and walked over silently against the wall of the tunnel.
"You guys are too careful..."
The old ghost did not follow, but retreated silently and suddenly smiled strangely: "But can you feel safe by leaning against the wall?"
Everyone was shocked, and the old ghost suddenly laughed and leaned back!
In the blink of an eye, the magic iron chain sounded "listening" and began to lengthen to the other end. The old ghost woman pressed against the stone wall of the Nightmare Tunnel behind her, and under the shocked eyes of everyone, she actually merged into the stone wall!
"not good!"
Lance reacted immediately and turned around.
On the stone wall behind them, the old ghost woman's hideous face had already appeared!
"Ah!" Valerie exclaimed, and the old ghost woman grabbed her shoulder with her black hands.
In an instant, blood and flesh were pouring!
"Run!"
Dora looked at this scene with a pale face. The old ghost woman's ability made everyone feel scared. They never thought that this old monster could endure it for so long!
Although he has such ability, he has been carefully covering it up. Such scheming is really scary.
"Become my food!" The old ghost woman laughed, and the magic chain made crisp sounds, and her movements were obviously suppressed.
But she could still open her bloody mouth and bit Valerie's head hard.
No one could react in the flash. The sudden sneak attack made their mental power extremely unstable. They could not cast spells at all!
Valerie screamed wildly, and was about to be swallowed by the old ghost woman in one bite. Who knew that at this moment, a powerful pulling force slammed the old ghost woman's body!
"What's it!"
The old ghost turned around angrily and glared at Lance viciously.
Taking advantage of this moment, Dora grabbed Valerie and ran away quickly with the other two.
"Can you clean up your things!" Lance sneered, and the purple light masterpiece of the eternal bottle in his hand!
A terrifying void vortex formed immediately, and a powerful suction power came from the center of the vortex, sucking the black mist beside the old ghost woman in frantically!
"ah……!"
In an instant, the old ghost's body was pulled and deformed. However, what surprised Lance was that it was different from the fog demon. Under the powerful attraction of the Eternal Bottle, the old ghost could barely stabilize his body.
The two sides were in a stalemate.
Huh! The wind sounded like a roar, and the old ghost woman opened her teeth and claws, firmly stabilizing her body.
The bottle mouth whirlpool of the Eternal Bottle is not moving like a mountain. The whirlpool rotates rapidly, and the traction force is getting stronger and stronger.
A trace of bad emotions flashed in Lance's heart: "Damn it! This monster has such a strong strength."
This was the first time he encountered a monster that could not be smoothly cleaned up by the Eternal Bottle. However, the old ghost is a third-level monster, and it is not surprising that he has such ability.
He gritted his teeth tightly, and his mental power and magic power were poured into the bottle of Eternity at the same time, trying to attract the old ghost woman in one breath.
Once he succeeds this time, he will be able to harvest shadow particles for at least one year. In this way, his super high speed of cultivation will continue to maintain.
After all, in recent times, the shadow particles provided by the Eternal Bottle has become less and less.
"You can't destroy me!" The old ghost screamed: "Let me go, we each take a step back, I'll let you go!"
Lance snorted coldly: "You have violated our transaction promise. Do you think I will still believe you?"
Both sides gritted their teeth. One wanted to struggle, while the other tried to suck each other away.
The other four people looked from afar and looked frightened. Especially Valerie, the female puppet master was seriously injured in the sneak attack of the old ghost woman just now. Her right shoulder was almost torn off and her shoulder blades were shattered. At this time, she was using a healing stone to restore her body damage.
However, the treatment stone can only treat some minor and minor injuries at most. The wounds of this degree, especially the skeleton comminuted, are powerless to treat the stone.
Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her eyes looked at Lance and the old ghost woman with resentment.
"Although he has the ability to compete with the third-level monster, he has been hiding it all the time. He can save me, but he deliberately slowed down half a beat..."
She thought angrily.
The other three people did not notice the subtle expression changes of the female puppet master at all.
They watched the tug-of-war between Lance and the old ghost. They confronted each other for more than ten minutes, and from the beginning they were full of energy and panting.
The fog around the old ghost woman became thinner and thinner, and Lance gritted her teeth tightly. At this time, the powerful recovery ability of the evil heart showed its advantages. His physical strength was enough to last for a long time.
But on the other hand, because of the previous fusion with the magic sword, the magic power consumed very strongly, the magic power in the Dawn Pool is less than 30 points.
"It's almost to the limit." Lance also felt a lot of sweat on his forehead. Although he was helpless, he had no choice. It was time to consider the retreat plan.
Who knew that at this moment, the old ghost woman could not hold on anymore and shouted loudly: "I admit defeat, let me go! I can tell you more information."
"If you don't let me go, I will fight you! Boy, believe me, although the things in your hands are priceless, your own strength is only level 2, and you are far from my opponent! Do you want to die with me?"
Lance sneered: "Do you think I will believe your nonsense now? You can let it go, but you must agree to a condition."
"What conditions?" The old ghost woman obviously couldn't support her anymore. However, Lance couldn't tell whether her appearance was disguised. His magic was almost overwhelming and could not be maintained.
He said firmly: "I want your heart-shaped stone!"
"Dream!" The old ghost was furious.
"Heart-shaped stone, or death!" Lance looked unmoved, making the old ghost angry.
However, under the eaves, she had to bow her head. She couldn't see how much magic Lance still had. She immediately took off the heart-shaped stone on her chest and threw it far away on the ground.
While holding the bottle of Eternity, Lance picked up the heart-shaped stone and threw it into the amber ring. Then he accelerated and ran towards the four!
Listen to it!
The magic chains were brisk and the old ghost rushed over angrily. However, Lance and the other four had already escaped far away. She was trapped by the length of the magic chains and could not pursue them.
"Damn it! I must kill you!"
The old ghost's scream echoed back and forth in the narrow and long tunnel of nightmare.
...
Half an hour later, in another section of the tunnel, a group of five people stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the tall rain forest ahead, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh.
"Finally come out!"
Landry said with lingering fear: "There are too many tricky things I have encountered along the way, right? The sword forest composed of witchcraft swords, which can move floating steps, groups of deceitful vines, and Meng Kuang and the old ghost... I changed to another team. I'm afraid I'll be destroyed here."
Speaking of this, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Lance.
Now, everyone except Valerie has been convinced by Lance. He has repeatedly shown powerful and mysterious means and can even compete with third-level monsters head-on, which makes people admire him.
After leaving the Nightmare Tunnel, according to the Demon Sword Orphe, it was already very close to Sivare.
It's strange. When we arrived at this place, the climate suddenly became extremely humid and hot. The woods growing in front were sparse tropical rainforests. A large number of creatures appeared in the forest, and it looked noisy and lively.
The group took a short rest and went deep into the rainforest under the leadership of Lance.
They walked along the forest path for about forty minutes. A pointed square tower appeared before.
"That's the stargazing tower deep in the castle!" Dora said excitedly.
She took out the drawing and compared it. The spire of the tower in the distance was exactly the same as the one on the drawing, but the appearance was much smaller.
The discovery of the Sivare Castle was like a pill of heart-warming agent for everyone. The group accelerated their pace and also carefully guarded against possible sneak attacks - along the way, Lance had explained to them the matter of the Flower Scorpion Society.
The three second-level wizards are almost the most powerful force of the Flower Scorpion Society. When they come here, Lance doesn't know what they want to do.
But he understands one thing very well - the people of the Flower Scorpion Society are definitely enemies, not friends.
After passing through layers of leaves, an open lake appeared in front of me. The lake water is black, and there is a small island in the middle of the lake. You can see from a distance that an ancient castle full of mysterious atmosphere stands in the middle of the island.
The lake is silent, unlike the lively rainforest, where it is quiet and there is no shadow of any creature. The animals in the rainforest seem to know the specialty of this lake and are far away from this place.
"Is this the mysterious lake where birds are hard to cross and the feathers sink?"
Everyone looked at the lake and castle ahead excitedly, but at this moment, Lance suddenly felt something was wrong.
He suddenly turned around, and in an instant, a strange shadow flashed deep in the rain forest.
"Um?"
He was about to use Hawkeye to see what happened, but the shadow floated upwards and disappeared completely.
