The interior of the castle was much more spacious than it looked from the outside.
Even with Kitten's map, Huai Shi almost got lost. It was like an illegal building, tangled and complicated, and heavily locked.
Everywhere was covered in dust, and whether it was the picture frames on the walls or the sculptures, they had all been weathered and peeled off, their original appearance impossible to see.
There seemed to be some kind of shadow wandering in the darkness, but if one looked closely, they wouldn't be able to find any traces. The remnants of Origin Substance that had been left behind until now had soaked into the darkness, forming the outlines and reflections of the past.
Even though time was limited, Huai Shi still explored cautiously, afraid that he would go the wrong way.
According to Kitten, this castle could be said to be the hub of the entire theme park, and there were more than a few princes hidden inside. If he went the wrong way, he might provoke a monster even more terrifying than the princes.
What was even more frightening was that after leaving the hall and entering the depths of the castle, the system panel disappeared.
This place was already outside the range of the Xinyue Framework …
In other words, the effects of the false life had already disappeared. If he died here, he wouldn't be able to leisurely revive outside the arena. Instead, he would be buried here forever, accompanying the withered bones of the past … …
If things went wrong, he might not even be able to die.
No wonder those ten or so Ascendants weren't willing to live inside, preferring to sleep in the hall.
If they weren't careful, they would end up with a fate of never being reincarnated. No one would be willing to.
The deeper they went, the more unsightly Amber and Ansali's expressions became. This place was truly the depths of hell, so thick that it made it difficult for people to breathe. It was dense in the air, constantly eroding their consciousness.
If they didn't have a structure like a soul to preserve their consciousness, they would probably be frozen in an instant, forever becoming a corrosive object in this hell.
Relying on the double protection of their stigmata and soul, they were as careful as if they were wearing spacesuits in space.
On the other hand, Huai Shi's footsteps were light, his expression calm, and he would occasionally take a deep breath … … as if he were on a spring outing.
Amber and Ansali exchanged glances with each other.
'This guy might have already been corroded. Why don't I just give him a quick death?'
'No, no, no. No matter what, he's still a teammate. You shouldn't stab your teammate in the back if you can, right?'
'Teammate? I don't have a teammate who steals my kills! '
'But if you kill him, won't you have to deal with the prince?'
'My Rijian family has been a minister for generations. Why can't I be called a prince?'
"…"
Although his heart was itching, in the end, Hu Po didn't do anything that would make the people happy. He just followed behind Huai Shi with his two long swords.
Until Huai Shi suddenly stopped in his tracks and raised his hand to signal the people behind him to be alert.
He was just a few more steps away from the door to the lounge, but suddenly, an inexplicable premonition of death emerged in his heart, piercing his forehead with a chill.
"There's something wrong with the door in front."
He turned his head, took out a quill from the elephant branch, and wrote a line of words for them to read: "Which of you has a way of looking at the door?"
Amber innocently removed his hand from the hilt of his sword and looked at Ansali. Ansali nodded and rubbed the oil lamp again. A streak of colorful black light peeked out from the opening of the lamp, but it shrunk back awkwardly and changed to another one.
A wisp of gray fog silently flowed out from the opening of the lamp.
Even when Huai Shi got closer and squinted his eyes to look carefully, he couldn't see it clearly. Under Ansali's control, the wisp of gray fog became fainter and fainter, until it completely disappeared into the air.
Only something between existence and non-existence slowly flew in the direction of the door. Along with the cold wind, it slowly seeped behind the door.
Immediately after, Ansali's hand trembled, and his face turned pale.
He almost couldn't stand still.
Huai Shi and Hu Po were stunned. They widened their eyes and waited for him to say what he saw. However, Ansali grabbed their hands and pressed them on his oil lamp.
In an instant, the scene behind the door appeared in front of Huai Shi's eyes.
It was like a spider's nest.
Countless dried black heads crisscrossed from the narrow corridor, like kelp floating in water. They constantly wriggled slightly, turning into countless poisonous snakes that chose to bite people.
They completely occupied the entire corridor.
And behind the countless dried hairs, there was a skinny figure sitting upright at the door of the lounge — like an air-dried corpse, without any moisture. He didn't look as handsome as he did during the day, but instead revealed the ferocious appearance of a skeleton.
Draped in tattered clothes, the dried and broken prince guarded the door of the lounge. His eyes were lowered, and two shriveled eyeballs in his dark eye sockets were unfocused.
Only the aura of the abyss that rose from his body tyrannically ravaged the surrounding space, causing the air to distort and become like a lens.
Huai Shi let go of his hand and looked behind the door in astonishment.
Damn, didn't they say they were all asleep? Why was there still someone keeping watch at night?
What the hell should he do?
Hu Po took out a map and gestured to Huai Shi: Are there any other passageways? Ventilation ducts and sewers are also fine.
Huai Shi shook his head.
It wasn't that there weren't any other passageways, but every passageway was marked with a sign of absolute danger. Kitten had already reminded him several times: Absolutely, absolutely do not take a passageway marked with a dangerous sign, or else you'll have to bear the consequences.
What should he do?
The few of them exchanged glances, and in the end, they could only make a firm decision: Nothing!
If there was someone keeping watch at night, it would prove that the current princes were indeed as Kitten had said. They had fallen into a weakened state because they had violated the rules, and the others were most likely in a deep sleep.
As long as they got rid of the lone prince guarding outside the door, the rest would be easy.
But how could they get rid of him?
Once they started fighting, there would definitely be a lot of noise. No matter how deeply asleep the long-haired prince was, he only needed to use a strand of his hair to slap him twice to wake him up.
"Get rid of him in an instant."
Ansali rubbed the oil lamp, forming a line of words in the air. She stared at the two people in front of her: Do you have any ideas?
Hu Po shook her head. Even if the Rijian family had been Chinese for generations, she was still a woman. Although she had a killer move, it might not be useful against a prince.
Huai Shi hesitated for a moment, nodded, and wrote another line of words: I have a move that might work, but it needs a casting time.
Ansali was a Persian. She was stunned for a long time before she understood what he meant by this analogy. She immediately asked again: How long?
"At least five seconds." ‘
Huai Shi sighed and answered.
Five seconds, where was the Roman time?
Sometimes, a duel would be over in one second. Five seconds? Five seconds was enough for the opponent to kill him dozens of times. The corpses piled together might even be enough to get a VIP membership card for the crematorium in the south of the city.
The corner of Ansali's mouth twitched, and she looked hesitant.
After a long time, she sighed. The smoke changed.
"Three seconds."
He said, "I can't take any longer. Can you go faster?"
Huai Shi shook his head.
He couldn't guarantee success in three seconds. If he made a mistake, everyone would be killed.
If he rashly gambled, he would only lose more.
No matter how good his equipment was, it wasn't as precious as his life. It wouldn't be embarrassing to admit defeat and turn back now.
Hu Po suddenly raised her hand and gestured helplessly.
"Leave the rest to me."
She continued to gesture. "Two seconds, I can do it."
Huai Shi looked at the two of them and hesitated for a long time. In the end, he nodded slowly.
If he took a gamble, he could turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.
Who wouldn't want to change their motorcycle into a Land Rover?
After making up his mind, he looked up and said, "Are you ready? If you are, I'll start the fight. "
After receiving a confirmation, Huai Shi turned around, reached out, and pressed against the door. He took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
Amidst the low voice and the countless strands of hair that had been startled awake, Huai Shi took a step forward and stood still. He stared at the withered face that had suddenly lifted up from the countless strands of hair and stroked a handful of hair.
He smiled.
"Boss, do you need service?"
Huai Shi raised his hand, and a chain that emitted sparks flew out of thin air. In an instant, all of the dancing strands of hair were tangled together, and in the end, the chain wrapped around the prince's body.
Immediately afterwards, a big man wearing a white robe and a headscarf jumped out from behind him.
He raised the oil lamp in his hand towards the prince. Multicolored black smoke poured out from it, wildly extracting Ansali's Origin Substance. In the end, a massive figure appeared from the smoke of the oil lamp.
The upper body was burly, with braided hair, and the lower body was completely a cloud of smoke.
But his face was similar to Ansali's after he had a beard!
Relying on the power of the Dark Kingdom in the oil lamp as sustenance, Ansali actually directly used his soul as a carrier and manifested from the oil lamp.
Then, the Divine Mark awakened.
Just above the smoke incarnation of the lamp spirit, the multicolored darkness suddenly stirred. With Ansali's movement, it suddenly pulled, as if pulling off a piece of clothing, the darkness was pulled down like a curtain, revealing pure light.
With a wave of his hand, the curtain of darkness was thrown towards the long-haired prince.
In an instant, it covered his face.
Under the cover of the curtain, the darkness wriggled like a living creature, eroding through the mouth, nose, and every pore.
In the inheritance of the Zoroastrian lineage, this world was the battlefield between the good gods and the evil gods, and the mortals were just the dust and residue bursting out under the collision of the divine power.
Therefore, in the consciousness of mortals, there were natural elements of the Five Bright Sons created by the Light King and the Five Kinds of Demons in the Dark Kingdom.
Now, with the help of the Divine Mark Relic and the power of the Dark Kingdom as a factor, Ansali forcibly stripped out the part of his soul related to the Five Kinds of Demons.
Therefore, he had the talents of Embodiment, Illumination, Wisdom, Insight, and so on. And in the darkness he peeled off, there was the essence of the Five Kinds of Demons, namely, Stupidity, Chaos, Impure, Destruction, and other pure curses.
The ability to transform into a pure vacuum body and use the Five Kinds of Demons as clothes could only be displayed at the fourth level. Now, even with the help of the Divine Mark Relic, it still couldn't last long.
And it would also cause considerable damage to the soul.
If it weren't for the strength of his two teammates, he would never take the risk to use this trick.
Now, with the cover of darkness, there was no doubt that the place covered had turned into the Dark Kingdom. The prince's consciousness had been forced into a cage composed of fog, hellfire, febrile wind, venom, and darkness.
Then, the cage began to shake rapidly.
As the countless chains struggled madly, the Cloak of Darkness that covered the prince's body also trembled incessantly, collapsing and mending under the impact.
Huai Shi took a deep breath.
Five, four, three …
Three seconds passed in the blink of an eye.
