This huge octagonal inner castle covered an area of about one to two miles. Who knew how many traps were hidden inside.
"Lu Huai Ru is hiding inside. We have to kill our way in." Bai Rong hesitated as he looked at the corridor in front of him. The corridor led to the depths of the inner castle. "But I'm afraid there are many traps inside. We need a knight who is good at protecting himself to lead the way."
Dongbo Xue Ying revealed a smile.
This Bai Rong was obviously trying to gain some face, but he was also afraid of danger. How did he manage to reach the Silver Moon rank?
Tang Xiong and Liang Yong were both calm and collected. Their gazes landed on Jing Qiu.
"Rushing in blindly is equivalent to courting death." Jing Qiu's voice was cold, but it was enough to calm everyone down. "Although Lu Huai Ru is only a Meteor rank mage, he is an expert in alchemy. He must have set up many traps. Even if a Silver Moon Knight were to rush in blindly … it would be difficult for him to survive. You guys wait here, I will cast a spell to lead the way. "
As she spoke, Jing Qiu held the staff in her hand and her lips moved slightly, silently chanting an incantation.
Actually, chanting an incantation was a form of self-hypnosis. After all, some powerful spells were too difficult to cast. Without self-hypnosis, one would not be able to cast the spell. As for some of the weaker spells … there was no need to chant an incantation to cast them. For example, the Ice Frost Domain from before was no longer a problem for Jing Qiu.
"Hua hua hua ~ ~ ~ ~" Suddenly, a large amount of ice started to condense in front of them. Very quickly, it formed a huge ice snake the size of a bucket, about 20 meters long. The snake's entire body was crystal clear, and its head was raised high with a cold killing intent. The invisible pressure it emitted made Bai Rong, Tang Xiong and the rest feel a sense of dread.
"Level 5 spell, Ice Snake." Dongbo Xue Ying nodded his head. "This kind of spell does not have any weak points, and its strength is much higher than a Silver Moon Knight's. In terms of strength, it is comparable to a Legend ranker. If there were ten of them … they would be able to threaten a Legend ranker. However, a Legend ranker is one with the heavens, and under the suppression of heaven and earth, they would not be able to cast any spells."
Jing Qiu held the staff in her hand and continued chanting silently.
After a while, another equally large ice snake appeared beside him.
"My magic power is limited, and I still have to face the unknown situation below. We need to use them sparingly, "Jing Qiu said." These two Frost Snakes should be enough to pave the way. "
"Haha, we have a Great Mage Silvermoon with us. Like I said, we're lucky." Tang Xiong chuckled. "This Frost Snake doesn't have any vital points. If we scout ahead, we'll be risking our lives."
"Jing Qiu is still the best." "Alright, let's go. Jing Qiu, you'll be in the middle of the four of us. Old Liang and I will be in front. Dongbo Xue Ying and Tang Xiong will be in the back."
Just now, he didn't dare to rush forward.
Now that there were two ice snakes at the front, he was full of confidence.
… …
In the spacious corridor, two huge ice snakes slithered forward, one in front and one behind. Every now and then, they would stop and hit the walls with their tails. Rumble ~ ~ ~ The corridor shook violently. Some of the runes were forcefully destroyed, and some of the weaker walls collapsed. Some of the traps were destroyed, and some of the traps were activated. Their attacks landed on the body of the ice snakes. Even though they managed to pierce a hole in the ice, the cold air on the surface of the snake's body quickly filled up the hole. The only difference was that the snake's body had shrunk slightly.
Every time it attacked, every time it was injured, the ice snakes would continuously lose their ice energy. When they could no longer withstand it, they would completely collapse.
But before they collapsed, they had no vital points! They could attack crazily without any fear of death.
"So scary." Dongbo Xue Ying sighed inwardly as he watched from behind. "If a mage is given enough time, the threat they pose is much greater than that of a knight. I heard that the power of a mage's spell formation is even greater."
A mage was more like a scholar, studying and analyzing the world. The spells they cast were also incomparably exquisite. If they had enough time to cast their spells slowly, they could easily kill a knight! If they were given half a year to set up a powerful spell formation, the power would be even greater.
On the other hand, a knight was even more ferocious.
Knights were able to burst forth in an instant and slaughter their way to the front. The more powerful a knight was, the faster his speed would be. For example, Xue Ying could cover a distance of over a hundred meters in the blink of an eye. Ordinary people could not even see his figure clearly. Such a frightening speed … … If he really wanted to assassinate a mage, the mage would not even be able to react in time. Therefore, both mages and knights had their own advantages.
"Boom boom boom ~ ~ ~"
The pure strength of the ice snakes was close to that of a Legend ranker. If they were to fight in close combat, they might be a little clumsy. However, when it came to destroying corridors, they were extremely proficient. Following a series of rumbling sounds, many walls collapsed. Many traps did not even have the chance to activate, and many arrays were destroyed from the start.
However, the interior of the castle was indeed very stable. Even if some of the walls were destroyed, the castle itself was still supported by other supporting walls, so it did not collapse.
"Haha, with Jing Qiu here, we will be much more relaxed. Whatever traps or arrays are of no threat to us." Bai Rong laughed.
"Don't be careless." Jing Qiu held the staff in her hand, carefully observing all the movements in front of her. "For a powerful Master Alchemist, some of the traps are unexpected. Although my two Frost Serpents have continuously destroyed them … I can only say that more than ninety percent of the traps will be destroyed. I don't have absolute confidence that it will be safe, so I have to be careful."
"More than 90%, no problem. Furthermore, that Lu Huai Ru … … I'm afraid that he is not as powerful as Jing Qiu thinks. Jing Qiu, in the Eternal Wind Academy, you have come into contact with extremely powerful experts. How can Lu Huai Ru compare to you? " Bai Rong said. Although he said so, when it came to actions, he had always followed the lead of his experienced bodyguard, Liang Yong. Obviously, he was still very careful.
… …
In the depths of the inner castle, in a large hall.
Lu Huai Ru was sitting on a throne high up in the hall, frowning. Beside him stood three subordinates, all of whom were Meteor Knights.
"Damn it, I didn't expect that mage to be a Silver Moon mage." Lu Huai Ru frowned. Previously, he had only seen the thick layer of frost outside. Even some mortals could not be frozen to death, so he thought that it was not that powerful. Thus, he did not dare to show his face. He did not even see the appearances of Dongbo Xue Ying and the other four, so naturally, he did not know that Jing Qiu had arrived.
"Altar Master, what should we do?" The three bodyguards looked at him.
"What else can we do? Two ice snakes wreaked havoc and destroyed many places. My magic formations were all destroyed, and some of the purely mechanical traps weren't of any use anymore. Even if they are activated, they will only consume a little of the power of the ice snakes. "Lu Huai Ru shook his head." It seems that we only have one chance. "
His entire inner castle was filled with traps and mechanisms, so naturally, there were some places that could kill.
But with two ice snakes … …
Only the stupidest and most difficult to destroy trap could be used to its maximum potential.
"There is a fatal trap in the seventh corridor!" Lu Huai Ru said. "It is the most powerful trap that I have set up! However, with those two ice snakes blocking in front, I am afraid that this trap can only kill two to three Silver Moon Knights … … Thus, I need the three of you to act. When they are heavily injured by the trap, the three of you will go and kill them. Hmph, at the most critical moment, the three of you who are comparable to Silver Moon Knights will kill them. They will definitely die. "
"Yes." The three bodyguards respectfully complied. Following which, they took out the pendants hanging on their chests with some heartache. The pendants could be opened, revealing a small blood-red crystal inside.
The three of them raised their heads and swallowed the small blood-red crystal.
Following which, their skin started to turn red. The blood in their bodies started to surge, and the dou qi in their bodies started to change.
This was their life-saving item – the 'Demonic Water Stone'. It was useless for Legend rankers, but for Meteor Knights and Silver Moon Knights, it would greatly increase their strength. The weaker one's strength was, the more obvious the effect would be. An ordinary Meteor Knight would be able to reach the strength of a Silver Moon Knight in a short period of time after consuming it. Of course, after the effects of the medicine wore off, they would be exhausted for two to three days.
Even so, this kind of treasure that could greatly increase one's strength was extremely precious. Even though they were the bodyguards of this altar, they were only given one each.
"Don't feel distressed. After this, we will definitely move away. When the time comes, I will personally apply to help you get another one." Lu Huai Ru said. "Quickly go and wait at the back of the seventh corridor."
"Yes."
The three red-skinned protectors immediately walked out.
At this moment, a monster-like robust man walked in from the side door. His footsteps faintly caused the entire hall to tremble. Seeing this, Lu Huai Ru immediately stood up obediently. This monster-like robust man casually said, "What's wrong? Did you run into trouble?"
"Reporting to Lord Oracle, I am afraid that this place has been exposed." Lu Huai Ru said.
"Exposed?" The monster-like robust man walked to the side of the throne and directly sat down. He frowned and coldly snorted, "They didn't discover me, right?"
"If they discovered Lord Oracle, they wouldn't just send a few Silver Moon rankers. I am afraid that they would directly send Si Liang Hong or Xiang Pang Yun. They might even send a Transcendent." Lu Huai Ru said. There were differences in strength between Legend rankers.
An ordinary Legend ranker would only be able to obtain a Bronze Order.
Those who were more powerful would be able to rank in the top 3000 of the entire empire. There was still a huge difference between being on the list and not being on the list.
As for Si Liang Hong, she was an old Blood Demon monster that had lived for hundreds of years. Xiang Pang Yun was even more ferocious. Within the entire Dragon Mountain Empire, the two of them could be ranked around the top 500. They were far above ordinary Legend rankers.
"How many Silver Moon rankers?" The monster-like robust man sneered, "In front of me, they are nothing more than ants. What a pity, after recuperating here for a while, they have to leave."
