吱——bang.

Two seconds later, accompanied by a loud noise, the gate behind Long Ge and the others closed on its own.

The three didn't try to open it again because they were already prepared to explore inside.

As powerful players who had experienced countless battles, the Blades’ team had a clear psychological advantage when facing monsters… Compared to players, they actually found the monsters in the script easier to deal with.

"Whoa~ We just entered… and something is already here to greet us…" Long Ge, who was responsible for scouting the way, stopped less than ten meters after walking forward.

At this moment, on the cyan-gray ground in front of him, more than a dozen "small puddles" with a diameter of about one meter suddenly appeared; they were called puddles, but there was no water. In fact, they were just small patches of liquefied ground, rippling with waves.

About a second later, a zombie with a green body and hideous face quickly "floated" out of each "small puddle"; their mode of action was the same as most low-level zombies… making a low growl in their throats, holding their hands out flat, and slowly逼迫逼来 towards the living.

"The way the monsters are spawned is pretty cool," Qi Sha muttered with a disdainful tone, "But it's a pity that the monsters that are spawned aren't that good."

"They move very slowly, we can绕绕avoid them if we can, and just deal with them casually if we can't," Tan Lang instructed at this time, "The space inside this castle is obviously much larger than it looks from the outside. I don't know how many more monsters there are inside… we don't need to waste time and energy here."

"Understood." Long Aomin responded and took out his psionic weapon, ready to clear the way.

[Name: Orichalcos Shield]
[Type: Psionic Weapon]
[Quality: Legendary]
[Defense: Extremely Strong]
[Attributes: Absorb, Isolate, Buffer]
[Effect 1: Orichalcos Barrier (When the Orichalcos Shield receives an attack, the user can freely convert the propulsive force, penetrating force, and shock force contained in the attack according to their will.)]
[Effect 2: Orichalcos Qi (The user can sacrifice 15% of their survival value to nullify the next attack received by the shield)]
[Effect 3: Orichalcos-Toritos (The Orichalcos Shield has 300% defense against magic and all flying projectiles)]
[Note: A dream shield forged from orichalcos crystal, imbued with the divine power of the God of Orichalcos, like an unbreakable mobile fortress.]

As you can see, this is a psionic weapon whose quality is judged as "Legendary," and it belongs to the same level as Shiva's "Complete Form Heavenly Dance Sandglass." Its excellent effects are also obvious to all.

And the most heaven-defying special effect is undoubtedly "Orichalcos Qi"... this effect is simply "invincibility."

Theoretically speaking, as long as this special effect is activated, no matter how strong the attack is, it can be withstood by spending 15% of the survival value, which makes "instant killing" Long Ge extremely difficult...

If you attack him with ordinary means, his defense is there; if you attack with a powerful killing move... whether it's a Destructive Death Ray or a Special Beam Cannon... as long as he activates the special effect, the most he'll lose is 15% of his health. By this calculation, even disregarding the factor of survival value supplements, he can withstand at least six killing moves without dying...

Of course, if the attack speed is fast enough… fast enough that Long Ge doesn't have time to raise his shield to block, or doesn't have time to react to "activate the special effect," it is still possible to "instant kill" him. But the problem is… most powerful skills require some preparation to be launched, and the fluctuation of energy is often impossible to hide. Furthermore… Long Ge is not a rookie, but an experienced combat master.

Overall, Long Aomin, holding the Orichalcos Shield, is truly a mobile fortress, a man as strong as a copper wall and iron wall.

"Ha… it's much easier than I thought."

In less than a minute, Long Ge led Qi Sha and Tan Lang through the desolate city corridor at a brisk pace. Along the way, they only encountered two zombies that could not be avoided, and those two monsters were scattered by Long Ge's shield… smashed as rotten as mud.

"That's for sure… if it was difficult as hell as soon as we entered, we could consider going straight out," Tan Lang immediately complained.

As they spoke, they passed through a stone door and came to the second space.

Compared to the "corridor" just now, this place was more like a "room" inside the castle. From a high place, you could see long windows covered with scarlet glass, and you could also see sconces embedded in the wall at intervals; from here on… the candles on those sconces became the main source of light that players could rely on.

"I'll go…" As soon as they entered the door, two purple bats swooped down from above Long Ge's head at high speed. Fortunately, Long Ge reacted quickly and ducked to avoid them, "Scared me…"

"Heh… only at times like this will I feel that becoming a child is a good thing," Qi Sha said with a smile, "Anyway, the adults are there to hold up the sky."

"Hey hey…" Long Ge looked back and said loudly, "I've become a child too, okay?"

After he said this, many viewers who were watching the live broadcast laughed for no apparent reason…

"Alright, alright… you should be glad," Tan Lang interjected from the side, "In this script, you are the only one whose close combat specialization and equipment bonus have hardly been affected by your size. We want this kind of advantage, but we don't have it."

"Okay… I'm so happy, hahaha…" Long Ge gave a few dry laughs, then led the way.

This second room in front of them had a very obvious difference in height. Although the ceiling was not as high as the previous room, there seemed to be a different world below. After entering the door… a few meters in front of them was a wall, with an oblique angle above it. After going up, there was a narrow passage, not knowing where it led; looking down, there was a downward slope, with a platform two meters below the slope. One side of the platform was the wall blocking the way, and the other side extended in the direction they came from, not knowing where it led either...

"What do you think? Should we split up?" Long Ge asked, looking back.

"Of course not…" Before Tan Lang could answer, Qi Sha replied, "If we separate in a place like this maze, I'm afraid we'll never be able to reunite…"

"I agree too." Tan Lang continued, "There's no advantage to splitting up in this script… Long Ge is fine, but my and Qi Sha's personal combat abilities have been greatly weakened… if we encounter a Boss alone, I'm afraid we'll be in trouble."

"Then…" Long Ge glanced at the two routes in front of him, thought for a while, and said, "Let's go below, shall we?"

He chose this mainly because his body was relatively strong, and he felt that it would not be very convenient to enter the passage above.

"Okay, let's go." Tan Lang didn't say much, anyway, it was the exploration stage, so it was the same wherever they went.

So, the three of them slid down the slope for a few steps and jumped to the platform below.

After they stood still and turned their heads to look, the other side was also a downward slope. The three of them continued down and reached the bottom of the second room. Not far away, there was a red door. According to normal spatial common sense… the other side of the door should be located below the room where the zombies were spawned just now.

And if they didn't take this door, they could also go in another direction… there, there was a reservoir about the size of a swimming pool, with a metal floating platform in the center of the pool. On the platform was a carved pillar, and at the top of the pillar was a glowing circular gem, whose light illuminated the entire pool.

"Don't ask me," Before Long Ge could ask, Tan Lang said first, "This is also my first time here, just follow your feelings."

"Okay~" Long Ge responded in a drawn-out voice, and stepped forward to push the red door.

Although this was a heavy wooden door inlaid with metal, it was relatively easy to push. Long Ge easily opened it with one hand.

After the three entered the door, they entered a dimly lit corridor.

This corridor was entirely made of white stone, and was generally in the ancient Roman architectural style. On both sides of the corridor stood two rows of columns and fences. The stone piers at the bottom of the columns and the fences alternated regularly, and the tops of the columns were connected in an arched shape; huge bat浮雕reliefs hung on the high walls, and many small demon-like浮雕reliefs echoed symmetrically on both sides.

From outside the fence, you could see red light shining over, but you couldn't see what the light source was or how far away it was… Whether you looked up or down, it was like gazing into a blood-red abyss, and looking horizontally into the distance… you could see many similar corridors, like white通道passages between illusory spaces, floating in this red潮tide.

"Phew… what was that just now…" After passing through the white corridor and pushing open another red door, Long Aomin heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It felt so oppressive…"

"Are you sure it was just now…" Qi Sha interjected, "I feel like it's been oppressive ever since we entered the city gate…"

[Underground Water Area]

At this moment, the system prompt suddenly sounded again, announcing a place name.

Buzz—

Suddenly, just as the system voice was not finished, a cyan-white crescent-shaped flash flew out of the shadows in front of the three of them.

"What the hell?" Long Ge muttered, instinctively raising his shield to block.

As a result, the flash disappeared in an instant when it touched the Orichalcos Shield…

"It's some kind of ranged energy attack…" Qi Sha said, taking a step sideways and staring into the distance.

In less than two seconds, he saw the culprit who launched the attack in the shadows above… it was a small red monster with short limbs, horns on its forehead, a pair of bat wings, and a small tail behind its butt.

"That's… a little devil?" Tan Lang quickly saw the little monster flying in mid-air, and said a name that matched the monster's image.

"No matter what it is, this monster can't be left alone like a zombie…" After Qi Sha said this, he put his hands together and released a move towards the little devil—[My Dao Fist].

Perhaps many friends have not heard of "My Dao Fist," so here is an explanation… My Dao Fist is one of Dan's (ie, "火引弹Huoyindan Fireball," a very special character in the Street Fighter series, a product of CApCom's long-distance provocation with snk company, a copycat of the appearances of the two protagonists of "Art of Fighting", and deliberately designed to be weak) signature skills, "improved" from the famous Hadoken.

Of course… from a直观intuitive point of view, this move is to release a fist wave隔空remotely…

咻——嘭! Xiu——Peng!

The fist's light rose, and the killing intent broke through the wind.

The little devil's flight speed was not slow, but it was still faster than this fist's light. In the blink of an eye, the monster was blasted into mashed meat with one punch.

"Although this monster can use ranged attacks… its resistance to attacks is not much different from the zombies outside…" Qi Sha looked down at his hand after收招withdrawing his move, "Even My Dao Fist released after my body has shrunk can turn it into a pulp…"

"Okay… stop indirectly bragging there, let's get going." Long Ge didn't give Qi Sha a chance to装逼show off further. He turned his head and urged, then continued to walk forward.

Tan Lang and Qi Sha also followed closely behind, stepping on the downward stone steps… and entered the humid air…

…………

At the same time, at the gate of the castle, outside the moat.

"My God…" Hill murmured, looking at the castle in front of him with an incredulous expression, "...What happened here..."

More than ten minutes ago, he finished beating up the man in the suit and drove back on the road.

It wasn't until he drove all the way to the address of the old house on原暗溪路Yuan Anxi Road that he realized… this place seemed to have been renovated again.

"What's going on?" Hill's mouth twitched as he said to himself, "Is this Count Duckula (Count_duckula, a British animated film released in 1988, in which the protagonist's castle can be instantly transported to various parts of the world or even travel through space via a built-in spell device)?"

"You're finally back, Mr. Hill." Just as Hill was standing outside the moat in a daze, Feng Bujue's voice sounded from nowhere and entered his ears.

"You…" Hill heard the sound and immediately became nervous. He looked around while saying, "...How did you..."

"Above the right pocket of your coat, in the middle of two layers of fabric," Brother Jue's voice responded.

Hill摸索groped around his clothes according to what the other party said, and as a result, he really摸到felt a flat, round hard object in that position, and he quickly realized… Feng Bujue's voice was coming from there.

"Did you摸到feel it?" Feng Bujue continued, "This is a tracker, and it also has communication functions. Of course… only I can主动initiate communication from my side."

"Where are you?" Hill then asked loudly, "And what's going on with this castle?"

Feng Bujue didn't answer his question, but instead asked, "Did you get Van Helsing's diary?"

Hill's expression changed slightly, and he coldly哼声道哼了一声snorted, "Hmph… that book has already been hidden by me in a safe place." He paused, "You help me remove the chip and guarantee my safe departure, and I'll tell you where the thing is."
