The Scarlet Castle is the only trial place in the East Region of Eternal Road that remains relatively complete and has the largest scope. It is different from the Forest of Beasts, which was originally a deserted forest.
The Scarlet Castle, millions of miles in radius, is so big and scary that it is like an endless complex of buildings. The color of all the castles is as red as blood.
What was supposed to be a majestic and majestic scene with a castle towering into the clouds, is now a ruins, full of decay and decadence.
On the edge of the Scarlet Castle, two righteous practitioners walked forward cautiously, exploring among the ruins.
Although the Scarlet Castle has been explored by countless people for countless years, there are very few people who can really go deep into the Scarlet Castle. Moreover, the Scarlet Castle is so big that no one even dares to explore the edge areas.
Visited.
"Click"
Suddenly there was a muffled sound under their feet, and the two of them were shocked and jumped up in a hurry. However, when they saw that what they saw in front of them was just a piece of blood-colored rock cracking, they let out a long sigh of relief.
There is a strange aura permeating the blood-colored castle, which makes people feel a little creepy. Entering the blood-colored castle, you always feel a little on tenterhooks.
"Brother, why don't we go back? It's a bit evil here. I always feel the cold wind on the back of my neck, which makes me tremble." A younger disciple said hesitantly, obviously he didn't want to go deep into the bloody castle.
"Made, it is indeed a bit evil. We have just entered the outskirts of the Scarlet Castle and the sun is shining brightly. Why do we feel so eerie and chilly all over.
Yes, I also feel that there is a bit of evil here, and I feel uncomfortable all over. Let’s look for other places. With luck, let’s...” The older senior brother just finished speaking and suddenly looked at the younger man,
Suddenly his face turned pale, and his eyes were full of fear.
"Senior brother, what are you doing..." the young disciple shouted hurriedly.
"puff"
Suddenly, a black shadow passed through his body from behind. The young disciple was horrified. Just as he was about to struggle, his whole body suddenly withered and turned into a mummy, without even a chance to resist.
A black shadow slowly sank into the ground, as if it had never appeared before, leaving only a shriveled corpse.
The elder strong man's eyes were full of fear. Without thinking, he hurriedly slashed the sword behind him and turned around to retreat.
But his sword didn't hit anything, or in other words, if it did, it just hit a shadow.
The long sword passed through the shadow, but the shadow had no impact at all. It was like a tree root growing out of the ground, suddenly stretching out a sharp thorn and stabbing the man down.
"puff"
The man hurriedly dodged, but he was shocked to find that his feet were firmly tied by the shadows on the ground.
"No……"
The man let out a shrill scream, but just as he made the sound, all the energy and blood in his body instantly flowed into the shadow and was absorbed by the shadow.
In just one breath, the righteous man was sucked into a mummy by the shadow, and fell to the ground with a thud, like a piece of dry wood.
When the shadow finished absorbing the man's energy and blood, it was about to return underground. Suddenly, a ray of light flashed and cut the shadow into two pieces.
"puff"
In the shadow, blood actually flowed out and splashed all over the ground. The shadow was cut off and disappeared on the ground, as if the tree roots had retracted underground and disappeared without a trace.
"Huhu"
At this time, two figures appeared on the ruins of the Scarlet Castle, one was full of heroic spirit, the other was covered by a gauze, it was Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian.
"Xiao Qian, what do you think?" Long Chen looked at the blood stains and mummies on the ground and frowned. He had never seen such a phenomenon before. They saw a lot of corpses along the way.
"It should be Ying Mei," Yue Xiaoqian said, looking at the blood stains on the ground.
Seeing the confusion on Long Chen's face, Yue Xiaoqian explained: "Yingmei is a kind of ghost clan. After death, the soul is immortal, forming a special life form."
"Are there really ghosts in this world?" Long Chen was startled. He always thought it was to scare people.
"What you call ghost is just a thing made up by people. The ghost in my mouth is actually a kind of life energy.
In fact, there are many life forms in this world that we cannot come into contact with. Logically speaking, they should be in a parallel space with us and never intersect with us.
However, in this world, there will always be strong people who like to break the rules and do some deviant things.
When the dimensional wall is broken, some things from other worlds will flow into this world. Things from other worlds usually cannot survive in this world, and special conditions need to be set for them.
Things like the ghost clan should not exist in our world, but its existence means that someone deliberately provided the soil for its survival.
So this is like playing with fire, introducing something that does not belong to this world. If it has no natural enemies in this world, it will completely destroy the world.
As soon as I arrived at this bloody castle, I sensed an unusual aura. The aura here was simply not something that human practitioners could adapt to.
If my guess is correct, this bloody castle was originally used to capture some ghosts from other worlds as trial difficulties and to provide training for the disciples." Yue Xiaoqian analyzed.
Long Chen nodded. What Yue Xiaoqian said was very reasonable. Even if he failed, he shouldn't be far away. This possibility is very high.
Because the bloody castle collapsed, these alien ghosts were released here and became lawless, and even took the initiative to kill people.
"What are the benefits of killing people?" Long Chen asked.
"Human blood essence and blood are their favorite delicacies. Although absorbing blood essence and blood does not allow them to grow, they still enjoy it." Yue Xiaoqian said.
"They are not ghosts, but are they most afraid of sunlight? How can they kill people in broad daylight?" Long Chen said.
"Ghosts are most afraid of the sun. The sun is indeed what they are afraid of, but there is a formation blessing here that weakens the sun, and they are not completely exposed to the sun, so they are not afraid.
In fact, this shadow charm is not very powerful. As long as the soul power is stronger, it is easy to sense them.
Therefore, they will only look for people with weak soul power to attack, and the attack must be accompanied by soul power in order to attack their bodies that are between reality and reality, because the soul power is also the energy between reality and reality.
." Yue Xiaoqian said.
Long Chen gave Yue Xiaoqian a thumbs up. She was indeed a know-it-all and knew everything. With Yue Xiaoqian, Long Chen felt great.
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment." Yue Xiaoqian was very happy with Long Chen's appreciation.
Because in theory, Yue Xiaoqian is very powerful, but has no practical experience at all, while Long Chen is just the opposite. He only needs to know the theory and can use it in practice immediately. The two of them complement each other.
Yue Xiaoqian held Long Chen's arm, and the two of them walked slowly towards the depths of the Scarlet Castle. It didn't look like a trial at all, but like two lovers shopping.
Sure enough, as Yue Xiaoqian said, Long Chen felt that he was being stared at by something, but that thing actually left in the end.
Yue Xiaoqian told Long Chen that Ying Mei was very cunning, and they were also extremely sensitive to danger. When they felt that the power of his two souls was strong, they did not dare to come over.
In addition, Shadow Phantom's attack is a type of soul attack. If it is protected by a soul weapon, it will usually not attack.
"It's so scary here. What kind of attack took place to make it look like this?" Yue Xiaoqian looked at a building in front of her and said in shock.
Ahead is a tall tower that has been broken into several sections. The tall tower that has fallen to the ground is as tall as a mountain. It lies across the front like a mountain range. This scene is really shocking.
Below the tower, half of it was buried in the soil, and there were signs of collapse around it due to the terrifying pressure. Just imagining the scene when the tower collapsed makes one's scalp numb.
“Go in and have a look”
Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian got into the tower and found that there were spider webs everywhere and bats flying out. It was very dark inside. Fortunately, they had good eyesight and could see everything clearly.
"It's of no value anymore. The secret rooms that should have been here have all collapsed, and all the blessing runes outside have become ineffective.
It seems that this is not just an ordinary collapse, but also a power beyond our imagination, which has wiped out all the power of the runes." Yue Xiaoqian gently touched the wall with her jade hand, and the runes on the wall were
It swoops down, like quicksand, unable to withstand any force.
Long Chen nodded, it should be some kind of mysterious power, specifically targeting these runes, causing them to fail and disintegrate. Along the way, Long Chen had never seen any other magical runes except the magical runes he saw at the gate of Eternal Road.
There are complete runes exposed outside.
"Rune, by the way, senior, do you recognize this rune?"
Long Chen suddenly sent a message to the Donghuang Bell, and with the power of his soul, he condensed a pattern. It was the strange rune that Long Chen had tried his best to memorize with the help of the Chaos Bead.
"I know, but this rune is not something you can touch now, let alone study it."
What disappointed Long Chen was that after Donghuang Zhong said this, he stopped talking, neither talking about the purpose of the rune, nor its origin.
After wandering in the tower for a while, without any substantial gains, the two left the tower and continued moving forward.
As he moved forward, Long Chen's consciousness spread and he discovered many hidden places where people were sneaking in. When Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian held hands and walked forward slowly, many people secretly came to look at them.
Surprised look.
Long Chen was amused. The more cautious you are, the more people will think you have no confidence or strength, and you will become a target for others.
The two of them didn't walk very fast. After walking for an hour, they only traveled more than a hundred miles. Long Chen asked Yue Xiaoqian to lead the way, and he was only responsible for following. He thought that if Yue Xiaoqian led the way, his luck would definitely be a hundred times better than his.
Facts have proved that Long Chen is right, because in the past when Long Chen entered such a place, he would either be attacked by ferocious beasts or provoked by strong men, but following Yue Xiaoqian, it was very peaceful for more than an hour.
"call"
Just when Long Chen thought everything was safe, suddenly a huge shadow behind him rushed towards Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian.
