Chapter 164 Endless Staircase
"You guys wait, I'll go to the door to take a look." Jimmy stood up and walked towards the door without fear of danger.
"I'll go with you to see." Hai Xin also followed.
Jimmy and Haixin came to the gate and opened the door and looked away. They were shocked. At this time, there were crowds of people four or five hundred meters away from the castle. They looked at their clothing and armor, which should be the army belonging to the Caesar Empire.
The army was blocked from the attack range by the extremely powerful magic cannon of the castle and could not get close to it. Behind the army crowd, a middle-aged man with a commander looked anxious. He scolded his subordinates sternly, and scolded several non-commissioned officers until they were speechless and were only concerned about wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.
"Earl Edmund? How could he come here? Could it be that he came to save us?"
Haixin was very surprised. It turned out that the middle-aged commander was nothing but Edmund, the deputy captain of the Sea Dragon. Haixin guessed that Edmund must have led his troops to rescue him because they were kidnapped at that time.
The soldiers of the Caesar Empire were fearless and continued to charge towards the castle, but their lives were plundered by the castle's magic cannon again and again.
This scene made Hai Xin feel palpitations. He sighed that Earl Edmund was so angry for the sake of the Mao boys, and even sacrificed the precious lives of the imperial soldiers. This really touched Hai Xin.
Although the army didn't know where to transfer a magic bullet to the castle, their magic guns were too weak.
The outer edge of the castle is even wrapped with a layer of defensive magic barrier. Their magic cannons can only shake the castle for a moment, and they will not suffer any substantial damage at all. However, countless soldiers of the empire were killed or injured.
Hearing the soldiers' wailing, Hai Xin couldn't bear it. He quickly ran back to the room and said to Qianshan and the others: "Outside is one of our friends. He brought people to save us, but the castle's magic cannon is powerful and has a defensive barrier to protect it, and the opponent suffered heavy casualties."
Qianshan sighed and said, "It's too difficult to attack from outside. The castle's defensive barrier can withstand magician-level magic without breaking. The only way is to turn off its energy source. Now, there is no time to take the risk to try the underground magic crystal library."
Haixin didn't want more imperial soldiers to die for them. He said anxiously: "Okay, Frank, if your locust wood bow is destroyed, don't go. Stay and Xishan to protect Paruth. I, Eunta, and Leo, and I, go and try it."
"Brother Jogus, please help too. I am so eager to return home and see my mother right away." Jimmy asked Jogus for help.
"Brother Jimmy, don't want to see me, just say what I need." In order to find this missing friend, Jogus searched the entire Clyda Province, which was enough to show how much he valued the other party, and naturally he would not refuse the requests he made.
"I don't agree!" But Leo said veto at this time, and looked at the others confused. Hai Xin also looked at Leo strangely and waited for him to explain.
Leo explained: "This is an alchemy castle, and it is better for us alchemists to solve it. I suggest that Xishan, I, Haixin, let’s go down and stay with everyone else."
Hai Xin nodded and felt something was reasonable. He looked at Qianshan and sought her opinions. Qianshan said, "Well, his suggestions are good. Let's go three of us, Senior Jogus, please stay here to protect them."
…………
Haixin, Leo and Xishan walked towards the magic crystal library underground of the castle through a long and narrow staircase.
The passage circles down and extends toward the ground, and there is a magic lamp to provide lighting at any distance on the walls on both sides of the stairs.
Because this hovering staircase is blocked by walls, it makes people unable to see the things in front of them at all. Several people can only grop and move carefully along the stairs.
Haixin took the lead in walking in front, Qianshan was walking in the middle, and Leo was behind the team's last hall. After only a few dozen meters away, the castle began to shake again.
Although the vibration was not severe this time, it was very sudden. Hai Xin and the other two were walking down the stairs. Suddenly, the three of them were shocked but they all did not stand firm. Hai Xin suddenly fell forward!
"Ah!!!" Hai Xin's little heart jumped into his throat in an instant. There was a dark stair passage in front of him. It would be terrible if he fell down!
Seeing that Hai Xin was about to roll on the stairs like a rolling gourd, Qianshan reacted quickly. She took out a silver ball from the space ring in time and threw it three or four meters away below. Zheng! Zheng! Crank! Crank...
The ball continues to stretch outward, and when it lands, it has become a cute little tiger with chains wrapped around it.
The little tiger roared to the sky, and the chains on his body automatically dispersed. At the same time, several iron chains with conical pointed tips flew out toward the walls on both sides. The pointed tips pierced into the walls, causing the iron chains to form an iron net to block the stairs.
At this time, Hai Xin also rolled in front of the iron net with a moan of pain, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Haixin rubbed and hit her head and buttocks, and was frightened. After a moment, he came back to his senses and said in amazement: "Fortunately, Sister Qianshan reacts quickly, otherwise I would have to go to the Magic Crystal Library..."
"Hell~ Are you studying how to walk fast? Rolling down the stairs is really a quick way..." Qianshan covered her mouth and smiled.
"Hehe, Sister Qianshan is just laughing at me..." Hai Xin stood up embarrassedly.
"Your golem will also deform?" This is the first time Leo has discovered a golem that can also deform in addition to his own galaxy.
"Well, however, only the spherical form and the toy tiger form can be converted to each other, and no other form can be changed." Qianshan said regretfully.
"You're made by Mithril, right? This is already amazing for ordinary materials." Leo actually nodded and praised.
Haixin looked at Leo in disbelief. He actually praised someone? This was so rare. But he didn't have time to sigh and bewilder. He interrupted the conversation between the two and said, "This castle is shocking again. People outside must be attacking. We must speed up, otherwise they will suffer more casualties!"
"Well! Let's go!" Qianshan also knew that she could not delay now, so she quickly put away "Changge No. 2" and continued to walk down the ground with Hai Xin and the others.
The three of them walked quickly along the stairs, and they kept walking down and turning down. But after walking for a long time, they found that they still had not reached the end.
Walking on this dim staircase with only a few lights, and constantly walking towards the ground, this depressing dark environment, coupled with the unknown feeling of not knowing what dangers they would be waiting for them in front of them, and even when they could reach their destination, made them feel cold.
The three of them walked silently, dull and speechless. The ladder seemed to have no end. An atmosphere of fear surrounded the hearts of several people. Hai Xin wiped away the cold sweat from her forehead and felt uneasy.
He roughly calculated that they had walked almost three or four hundred meters above the ground, but they still had not reached the Magic Crystal Library.
He began to wonder if the route they were taking was right, whether this passage leads to the Magic Crystal Library? Could it be a fatal murder trap? Or, could it be a path to no return to the abyss of hell?
When Hai was about to speak, Leo spoke first, "Stop! We're in the trap!"
