At the same time, at the other end of the chaotic sea of clouds, a team of challengers was quietly walking in the clouds. The crisp impact of their footsteps on the flagstone ground continued to reverberate in the gray haze, as if they were in a closed and depressing hall.
"Wang Lu, do you feel that the air here is a bit depressing?"
In the silence, Aya suddenly opened her mouth.
"A bit depressing?" Wang Lu wrinkled his nose and sniffed. "Do you want to say that in the Treasure House of Golden King, this dictatorship ruler, there is a lack of democracy and freedom?"
"I don't know what you're talking about …" Aya sighed. "What I want to say is, in this place, it seems that the power of the profession is suppressed. Moreover, the suppression comes from the law of origin, and there is simply no way to resist."
Wang Lu was surprised. "Is there such a thing? I didn't notice it at all! "
Non-Phase Method was not known for its sensitivity, but his Void Spirit Root was the most sensitive physique in the world. Although he had to experience the transformation of the law in the Western Continent, it was not to the extent that he didn't know it when he was in a place with the law of suppression!
"Is the suppression serious?" Wang Lu asked.
"Fortunately, here, it seems that our power level is suppressed to intermediate high order, that is, around Yuanying Stage." Aya said, "Fortunately, I'm not in a good state, so I'm not greatly affected. What about you?"
"... Aren't you asking the obvious?" Wang Lu was silent for a moment, and then sighed. "Although I'm not even the King Pill, when you said it like that, I have a complex feeling of being a well-known writer being stuffed with a child's ticket."
"In short, this place doesn't seem to want us to have too strong individual strength, but for a mere intermediate high order to explore the sea of clouds that even Golden King would find tricky, it's really too much." Aya frowned, extremely puzzled. "Moreover, what is the significance of this restriction?"
Wang Lu said, "At present, the biggest significance is to play the role of novice protection, because this restriction is very advantageous for a weak team like us, but absolutely disadvantageous for Holy Light Religion — in order to deal with us, they must have gathered their most powerful team. I'm afraid they even have more than one legendary rank. Unfortunately, all of them are now wasted."
Aya asked, "Do you think someone did this on purpose? For example … "
Wang Lu hesitated and said, "From the result, it does seem that Golden King is deliberately taking care of us. After all, if we win, it will be more beneficial to him. However, it was hard to imagine that this kind of thinking pattern would be the thinking pattern of Golden King. With his character, perhaps he would disdain to play this kind of small trick to suppress one side and elevate the other side. If we want to win the championship and seize the administrator's position, we must use our own strength to prove our qualifications within the established framework. Moreover, in my impression, although Golden King is cruel and heartless, he has never been regarded as nepotism — he doesn't even recognize his own family. "
Aya sighed. "That's true. I don't think someone as proud as the Golden King would use such a cheap trick."
"Forget it. I'll think about things I can't figure out later. This is a long journey, and the truth will eventually be revealed."
While the two were talking softly, Bai Shixuan's voice suddenly came from the front. "Senior Brother, Aya, please come and take a look."
Wang Lu and Aya looked at each other and then quickly walked to the front of the team. They saw Bai Shixuan standing there with a puzzled look. Beside her, as the pathfinder, Quan Zouhua, uneasily shook his fur, looked straight ahead, and made a gurgling sound from his throat.
And in front of them, in the thick haze, there was a vague shadow of a huge castle.
"This is … a castle?" Aya was surprised. "How could there be a castle here? Beautiful Unique Pool Peak is located at the edge of the Wasteland, a place where no human has lived for tens of thousands of years in the Western Continent. How could there be such a mark of human civilization? Is it the legacy of Golden King? In the process of crossing the sea of clouds, did he build a castle as a palace? "
Aya's speculation was in line with Golden King's extravagant temperament, but this speculation was quickly denied by her.
"No, although this castle is huge, its style is too simple. If it was Golden King, he would not build it so crudely. Either he didn't build it, or he built it to be dazzling. Moreover, this castle … always gives people an unfathomable feeling. Its history seems to be very long, longer than any era that we know. "
Aya said, and her attention was gradually attracted by the castle. Hidden in the haze, the castle was like an observer that had experienced the vicissitudes of life for hundreds of millions of years, indifferently watching everything around it. Its cold figure made people shudder, but it also contained an irresistible mysterious charm.
Bai Shixuan asked, "Senior Brother, do you want to go and take a look?"
"Of course, we can't just turn a blind eye to it. After walking for so long, this castle is the only clue. "
Previously, when the group of people entered the fourth level through the stone gate, they were immediately swallowed by the thick clouds and instantly lost all their vision. Not to mention the once clearly distinguishable Beautiful Unique Pool Peak that stood on the other side of the sea of clouds … Wang Lu looked down and couldn't even see his own feet.
This isolation of perception not only came from the physical level, but also from the chaotic sea of clouds, which contained a very special force that severely limited the perception of the challengers. Without perception, there was no other reference in the sea of clouds, plus the disordered space here, so it was impossible to locate them. In Wang Lu's view, this was like an invisible barrier that bound them to only go to the designated place.
Therefore, when the castle appeared, Wang Lu immediately made a judgment that they must enter the castle. Because if they missed such an obvious clue, they would likely be lost in the sea of clouds forever.
After Wang Lu led the crowd to the castle, the castle gate slowly opened, revealing a faint light, as if the castle was coldly welcoming them.
Following the direction of the light, the group of people cautiously entered the castle. When Aya, who was at the back, also stepped through the door, the heavy and huge castle door suddenly closed, and then disappeared into the thick fog that suddenly appeared.
Aya very vigilantly turned around and swung her sword. The more than three feet long Stone Sword swept backward, but it only hit empty air. The sharp sword qi tore through the clouds, creating a hundreds of meters long tumble, but there was no trace of the castle gate.
"The gate is gone!"
Wang Lu was not surprised. "It means to let us move forward and not look back … Okay, then let's see what is in this castle."
— —
After an hour.
"Senior Brother, we've also explored the second floor. The structure is similar to the first floor. It's a winding corridor with ten rooms on each side. Each room leads to a different plane, and each of them contains very rich resources."
Bai Shixuan reported in a soft voice. She was also holding a few crystal stones that could record images and sounds.
"This is the video recording of me and Liu Li when we explored separately, please review it, Senior Brother."
Wang Lu waved his hand. "No need to look at it. Since the structure is similar to the first floor, I'm afraid the content is also similar. There are a total of eighty rooms on the two floors, leading to eighty different places. Each independent plane is rich in one or two kinds of resources. This castle is like a warehouse, a transit station. It allows us to make sufficient preparations before embarking on the real journey. "
As Wang Lu said this, he looked at the tightly closed gate not far away. His brows gradually wrinkled, and his eyes turned sharp.
"Get ready to break through the fog blockade outside the door."
Behind the door was an absolute blockade of fog. It was not difficult to open the door. Although it was thick and solid and could not be destroyed by brute force, as long as the right position was used, it could be pushed open. But after pushing open the door, it was so thick that one couldn't even see their fingers in front of them. Stepping inside was like walking into a different dimensional space. No matter how hard they tried to move forward, they couldn't get more than three feet away from the door. Wang Lu let everyone in the team try it. After walking out of the door, it was like being possessed. No matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't move forward. The law of space seemed to be imprisoned.
In addition to this door, there were eighty rooms inside the castle. Although each led to a different area, each of them was a dead end, which was not the direction they should go.
Therefore, the situation temporarily fell into a deadlock.
"Sort out your thoughts, Wang Lu."
After finishing the exploration of a room on the first floor, Aya returned to the hall on the first floor, exhausted.
"Now we seem to be trapped."
There were only two doors leading to the outside world. One was the entrance, which disappeared into the sea of clouds after Wang Lu and the others entered. The other was the obstacle that they needed to break through. Both seemed to be dead ends.
Wang Lu said, "According to the current situation, the meaning of this level should be that we need to find something in these eighty rooms before we can move forward. I have just found something similar to sesame in the room of crops, but it seems to be completely useless. "
Aya completely couldn't understand Wang Lu's obsession with sesame, so she had to say, "Do you want to take a part of the resources in these eighty rooms and try them one by one?"
"It's the most inefficient and the stupidest method. But if there's no other clue, we can only try it first."
As a professional adventurer, Wang Lu always hated the inefficient method. However, if there was no other way, he would not insist on it. After all, even the stupidest method was better than hesitation.
However, just as Wang Lu was about to mobilize the crowd to collect resources, Liu Li's cheerful laughter suddenly came from above his head. "Hahaha, Senior Brother, I found two paintings!"
Two paintings? Wang Lu's curiosity was immediately piqued. With a tap of his foot, he flew toward the direction of Liu Li's voice.
The clouds and mist were everywhere in the fourth level. Even inside the castle, if they were far away, they would be shrouded by the clouds and mist. Although this castle only had two floors, the space of each floor was very wide. Wang Lu flew for hundreds of meters before he saw the ceiling of the first floor and the excited Liu Li.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, look, there are two paintings here! They are really beautiful! "
Wang Lu looked at the direction of Liu Li's finger, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Liu Li, you've made a great contribution."
