To get to the castle, they had to pass through the cemetery in the center of the manor.
When the team ran through the huge cemetery, they could clearly feel that something was watching them from the depths of their feet.
It seemed that there was a terrifying brain hidden in the depths of the cemetery.
Different from the Hybrid Demons that the team had faced in the past, this brain's mental coverage covered the entire manor and monitored the movements of the entire manor … It was a mental type that was more difficult to deal with.
Moreover, it seemed that there were countless terrifying lives hidden in the depths of the ground. They could hear the sound of ghouls grinding their teeth from the tombstones here.
"There are Hybrid Demons below?! What's going on … Isn't this the administrative area of the Steam Knights? "
The four of them broke out in a cold sweat.
However, the more terrifying Corpse Hider was not far behind them.
At this point, the castle was the only choice.
Captain Eugene made a decision at this moment and said in a low voice:
"If all of this is still a trap set by the Corpse Hider.
At that time, I will exhaust all of my energy and use myself as the axis to create a sealed illusory space that can last for at least three hours.
Help Evie suppress the source of corruption in his body first, then find a way to quickly return to the city.
If you can inform the Holy City in time, I might still be saved … "
"Yes …"
Other than Han Dong who was a special case, knights who had grown step by step to this stage had experienced life and death parting.
When every knight received knight education, the most important and fundamental point of the knight's spirit was written on the first page of the book.
"Sacrifice is the cornerstone of the Holy City."
…
The ancient and gloomy castle was in front of them.
Boom!
The Hell Knight, Conan Turner, who was running at the front, used his brute force to knock open the unlocked castle gate.
Cold black flames burned on the pillars.
In the dark and empty depths of the hall.
A mysterious man wearing a crow mask and a black robe was sitting on the seat of the former lord. His eyes were filled with a sense of death as he looked at the group of outsiders who attracted danger.
A low voice with a hidden smile echoed in Han Dong's mind.
"Take your friends and leave through the side door. There will be a Crow Man leading you to the lounge.
I will also provide you with a brand new "anti-stress drug" … If your friends don't control their stress, they will completely degenerate at any time.
At that time, I won't provide any help. "
After that.
The iron door at the side of the hall opened.
"Go!"
Without much hesitation, the group left from the side.
A blue-feathered Crowmen elder was waiting for them. He didn't show any hostility and instead led them to a 'quiet room' in a friendly manner.
It was actually an attached laboratory set up by Dr. Swollen in the castle.
That was right.
This group of people had brought trouble to the manor, and Han Dong would not help them for no reason.
Han Dong had not been able to sell the "anti-pressure drug" in the Holy City, so it was a good opportunity to test it on this deeply contaminated knight who could fall at any time. Moreover, Han Dong would record the whole process before and after taking the drug.
Of course, the more important thing now was to get rid of this Corpsehog Demon who was a level stronger than Count.
"Caw … My lord! Do you need our help? "the Crowmen elders asked through voice transmission.
"The opponent is a mature body … and it's a late-stage undead with extremely strong individual combat power.
He was even more difficult to deal with than Scarlet Count.
You'd better seize the time to cultivate yourselves and achieve the 'Mature Form' before the expedition. There's no need for casualties here. "
"My lord, what if you're in danger?"
"Don't worry … Even if I can't handle it, Dr. Swollen will help me in the dark.
With the 'Remnant of the Old King' embedded in his brain, Dr. Swollen's brain system has fully matured, and he has become the first mature Hybrid Demon in the manor.
You'd better do your best. "
"Caw …"
The Crowmen elders were under a lot of pressure as well. After all, achieving the 'Mature Form' required an 'opportunity', and it would be hard to break through if they stayed in the manor … They had to leave the Gaines Forest and look for an 'opportunity'. It could be a gift from the Old King, the remains of a powerful Hybrid Demon, or a chaotic treasure buried deep in the ground.
If none of them could achieve the 'Mature Form', the balance of power in the manor would tilt, and Dr. Swollen would be in charge.
While Han Dong was chatting with the Crowmen elders.
"Creak …"
The door to the main hall of the castle was slowly pushed open.
The famous' Corpsehogger 'had arrived.
He was about two meters tall.
On his old and shriveled dark skin, there were strange 'cross-shaped wooden nails' that were used to suppress the writhing creatures in his body to maintain his human form.
A piece of white cloth stained with blood was wrapped around his eyes, giving up his vision and using a unique method to capture prey. It also seemed to have other uses.
On his back was a huge coffin that was as tall as he was, and its use was also unknown.
His wrists and ankles were shackled, as if this' Corpsehogger 'used to be a prisoner, and for some reason, he became such a special Hybrid Demon.
"This is … a Hybrid Demon that was completely corrupted by humans?"
Han Dong had his suspicions when he observed through the Crows' vision.
It was mentioned in the previous chapter that the low level life forms outside the city could be divided into three categories: 'Evil', 'Wild Monsters', and 'Heretics' … The first two types of Hybrid Demons were more common.
For example, the Crowmen elders were the evolved form of Wild Monsters, and the Stone Hybrid Demon that Cass absorbed was also a Wild Monster.
The Scarlet Count was an evolved form of Evil. (Count's origin was a special blood, and one day it was born with self-awareness. It never became an independent blood Evil, and usually appeared in the form of a [Dog].)
The situation of 'Heretics to Hybrid Demons' was relatively rare.
The reason was not that it was difficult for these low level life forms to become Hybrid Demons, but because of the 'management' problem.
Because of the 'high intelligence' that humans showed, the Hybrid Demons outside the city often liked to cultivate humans into Heretics that they could control. They could help the Hybrid Demons complete many complicated tasks that normal Evil or Wild Monsters could not do, and they could also provide a unique power of faith and sacrifice.
Once a Heretic grew into a Hybrid Demon, according to a 'certain rule' outside the city, he would have the right to freedom. He could choose to continue following the original owner, or establish his own roots.
Because of this, most Hybrid Demons were unwilling to lose free labor, and would effectively suppress the Heretics under their command, not giving them the chance to become Hybrid Demons.
Dr. Swollen was a good example.
He used to work for the Great Lord of Stuart, but he was just a Heretic leader.
Now that he followed Han Dong, he was not restricted. He even obtained the remains of the old King in the ruins, and after a few years of accumulation, he reached the level of a mature Hybrid Demon.
Dr. Swollen would not ask for freedom. Being able to follow Han Dong was his biggest dream.
Whether it was in terms of level or technology, Han Dong was stronger than him … Staying in the underground laboratory of the manor, he could get any material. The doctor was already addicted to his research and saw Han Dong as his life's greatest benefactor. He was willing to give up everything for him.
The current [Hidden Corpse] was the same, transformed from a special human.
After entering the main hall of the castle.
He directly ignored Han Dong, who was sitting on the Lord's seat, and followed the aura of the target, walking towards the side door of the main hall.
Shua …
Han Dong waved his hand.
An extremely irritable Blood Dog jumped out of the gloomy main hall. It only had a head structure, and it opened its two meter wide mouth, biting towards the target.
Ding!
However.
The Tentacle Canine Teeth that had always been able to easily tear through any hard object was stuck at this moment.
The cross-shaped wooden nails fixed on the Hidden Corpse's body were rotating slightly, forming an invisible barrier.
