A path was created by the struggling undead hand, which extended from Angor's tree door all the way into the unknown.
Just like the previous path, the writhing hands were guiding Angor in this way.
However, it was both a guide and a threat.
Among the pale, greenish hands, some of them had eyes on their palms. It was obvious that they were compound undead creatures, which meant they were some kind of amalgamation of undead creatures.
If so many of them exploded, the consequences would be dire.
Clearly, the mastermind was using this method to warn Angor about the dangers of this place and warn him not to act recklessly.
Angor chuckled in his mind and stepped onto the path without a care in the world.
Just as he expected, every time he took a few steps forward, the path behind him would be replaced by an Undead Hand. Just like the previous path, this meant that there was no way out.
There was no turning back.
Angor had a strange feeling as he walked on the winding path created by the writhing hands. He couldn't see the end of the path, which was surrounded by glowing lights on both sides. Behind him, more and more writhing hands kept appearing. It felt like a strange ritual.
Angor remembered the palace of the Shannon Kingdom he visited before. From the king's throne to the palace gate, there was a red carpet with luxurious patterns on the ground, which was surrounded by hundreds of officials. Walking on the red carpet represented power, politics, and a solemn sense of ceremony.
The red carpet in the palace was different from the one in front of him, but Angor had to admit that the ritual felt familiar.
However, even though walking on this path was solemn, the struggling undead hands on both sides of the path gave off an eerie, absurd feeling as if one was walking on a path to hell.
While Angor was lost in his thoughts, he had already walked half of the path.
The path was long and winding, and it went around many trees.
Now, there was a tall tree on Angor's right. Just like the one he saw when he entered the palace gate, the tree was already dead. The center of the tree was also hollow. Through the dim light, Angor could see a human-shaped figure swaying in the wind.
Two more withered corpses.
Angor tried to recall all the trees he saw along the way. Each tree had two withered corpses inside it. He had already walked around dozens of trees, which meant there were nearly a hundred of them. In the entire space, there were countless trees. If there were two dried corpses in each tree, then the number of corpses here would be astonishing.
Of course, the number of corpses here was still much smaller than the ones in the forest outside. However, Angor paid attention to the trees here because he already had a vague idea about his current location.
Previously, when he saw the first tree, he was already deep in thought.
Trees, withered corpses, and a vast, enclosed space … Angor recalled the information he learned when he sneaked into Dark Castle with Shadow.
Dark Castle had eighteen floors, each with its own theme.
From B6 to B18, there were different types of prisons, such as blood cells, water cells, and so on. B5 was the ice cave, which was used to store resources. Greya and Felicia were in the ice cave, where Isabelle's soul was found. B4 was the insect nest, where the venomous insects lived. B3 was the Soul Exile, which used to be a playground for undead creatures. B2 was the Soul Realm, which used to be Isabelle's private place. Due to the changes in the outside world, it was turned into a temporary resting place for Dark Castle.
Apart from the seventeen floors above, there was also a special B1.
It was called Corpse Forest.
Corpse Forest, as the name suggested, was a forest of corpses. Corpses provided nutrients to the trees, and it was also a place full of tree burials.
Tree burials were used to seal corpses inside trees.
It was similar to what he was seeing right now.
Angor was almost certain that he was in B1 of Dark Castle, the Corpse Forest.
Just like B3, Corpse Forest was also a playground for undead creatures. It was a dark, enclosed space filled with death aura, as well as a special burial ritual. If an undead creature stayed here for a long time, they would not dissipate. Instead, their soul power would gradually increase. It was normal for a large number of undead creatures to show up here.
Besides, Corpse Forest was completely different from the other seventeen floors.
Corpse Forest was not connected to the other floors. The other floors all existed in an abnormal space, while Corpse Forest only had half of an abnormal space. Most of it was still underground. In other words …
Angor looked up at the dark sky above him. If there were no mishaps, he should be able to return to the surface after destroying the earthen wall above him. However, since this was a semi-dimensional space, it would not be easy to destroy the earthen wall so easily.
Also, he had to face another problem if he wanted to destroy the earthen wall.
Undead creatures.
When he looked up, he saw a large number of undead creatures floating above him. Their heads were all pointing downward and glaring at him as if they were going to tear him apart.
However, no matter how vicious their gazes were, none of them dared to attack Angor.
"She's quite good at controlling undead creatures." Angor was not afraid at all. He calmly walked into the distance.
Now that he knew where he was, Angor felt less worried.
With the help of the door model, he was confident that he could escape at any time. Furthermore, the forest of corpses was actually underground. After Isabelle discovered that he was missing, it wouldn't take long for her to discover his location.
For this reason, he only needed to be extra careful and avoid being controlled by strange undead creatures such as "baby spirits", and it would be easy for him to leave this place. Since he was confident enough, he did not mind meeting the familiar stranger — Goman Princess. While he was at it, he could also add a new example to his Prelude to Rebirth Experiment Report.
Angor walked along the path for about ten minutes.
When he came to a dense forested area, he heard rustling sounds in the depths of the trees, in addition to the whimpers of the undead.
It sounded like some kind of creature was moving.
Angor stopped and looked at the source of the noise.
The noises grew louder and louder, causing the ground to tremble. Suddenly, Angor heard a hissing noise. He looked up and saw a giant head poking out from the top of a tree.
A snake!
A gigantic python!
The head alone was bigger than Angor's entire body.
However, just like the Mountain Giant, this python was also an Undead despite its enormous size. Angor did not know if it was an amalgamation of undead creatures. If it was, the explosion of such a huge python would probably be as powerful as Giant Dangshan's.
Besides, they were right below Dark Castle. If the python exploded, Dark Castle on the surface would be turned into a pile of rubble. He didn't care about the fate of Dark Castle, and it wasn't his place to do so anyway.
Angor and the python exchanged glances for a few seconds. The python stared at Angor with cold eyes as if it was trying to figure out a way to kill him. In the end, the serpent did nothing. It just sat there and watched Angor walk past without doing anything.
"So it's trying to show off its strength to threaten me?"
Angor was right. He saw many strange undead creatures along the way, some of which made his heart skip a beat.
For example, there was a strange red specter standing in the "grassland" created by the Undead Hand. She did not move, but a strange aura appeared around her. Compared to the previous one, this specter gave Angor a stronger feeling.
For example, he saw a coffin with a lid that kept shaking inside a gigantic tree. Angor did not know what was inside the coffin, but he could sense a terrifying aura coming out from the gap between the lid and the coffin. Even Angor felt the urge to stay away from it.
Another example was this.
Angor arrived at a deep moat. He did not know how deep it was, but all he could see was darkness. On this natural moat, there was a wooden suspension bridge. It looked old and broken. The wooden planks on the bridge were either rotting or had disappeared. It looked very dangerous.
The bridge was the only way out because the path behind it was covered by the Undead Hand again.
Angor stepped onto the bridge without hesitation.
The suspension bridge swayed a little as he walked on it. First, it was his weight, and second, it was the cold wind from the trench, which caused the bridge to sway uncontrollably.
Angor believed that Goman Princess would do something to show off her presence on such a wobbly bridge.
As he expected, when he reached the center of the bridge, something strange happened under the dark moat.
The head of a giant that was glowing faintly rose from the bottom of the moat and stared at the bridge with a pair of vicious eyes.
Angor raised an eyebrow. He thought the bridge would break, and he would fall into the moat. Or maybe a large number of undead creatures would fly out from the bottom of the moat. But it was another Mountainous Giant.
Moreover, this Undead Giant Wei Shan was probably even bigger than the previous one.
The Mountainous Giant did not do anything to Angor until he crossed the bridge.
It also showed that Princess Goman was still using the Undead Mountain Giant to display her strength.
Angor wondered what Goman Princess had been doing all these years to gain the support of so many powerful undead creatures.
Or could it be that Princess Goman's special ability was so strong that she could easily control an undead of this level?
