Chapter 233: The Castle with the Open Mouth
When Li Yunfei led everyone to rush towards the mysterious ancient castle, a strong sense of oppression came over them. The gate of the castle slowly opened, like the mouth of a giant beast, ready to swallow them.
Entering the castle, the interior was dark and gloomy, filled with a decayed atmosphere. The torches on the wall flickered with a faint light, casting strange shadows. Li Yunfei walked in front carefully, holding the sword tightly in his hand, and the sword reflected the jumping firelight.
"Everyone be careful and don't disperse." Li Yunfei said in a low voice.
Lin Yue followed closely behind, the gem on the staff emitting a faint light, lighting the way for everyone. Zhang Hao and Mo Ying watched their surroundings vigilantly, guarding against possible dangers at any time.
In the center of the hall, there is a huge statue with a hideous and terrifying face that makes people shudder.
"What the hell is this?" a soldier said, trembling.
Before he finished speaking, the statue's eyes suddenly flashed red. Then, low roars were heard all around, as if countless demons were awakening in the darkness.
"Get ready for battle!" Li Yunfei shouted loudly.
A group of ghostly monsters emerged from the shadows, their bodies twisted and their sharp claws flashing coldly.
Li Yunfei took the lead in meeting the enemy, raising and lowering his sword, creating a strong wind. Every time he swung his sword, he accurately hit the monster's vital points, and blood splattered everywhere.
Lin Yue cast a spell, and rays of light shot towards the monster like arrows, blooming brilliant colors in the darkness. Her forehead was covered with sweat, but she did not stop casting the spell.
Zhang Hao roared, his spear like a dragon, sweeping through the army. Every strike was accompanied by a powerful force, pushing the monsters back.
Mo Ying's figure was elusive, and he shuttled among the group of monsters like a ghost, and the short blade in his hand quickly reaped the lives of the enemies.
Unfortunately, a soldier was scratched by the monster and fell to the ground screaming.
"Hold on!" Li Yunfei shouted, and quickly killed the monster that was hurting the soldiers.
The battle became more intense, and everyone's physical strength was gradually depleted. But their eyes remained firm, and they had no intention of retreating.
At this moment, a melodious flute sound came from the depths of the castle. When the monsters heard the flute sound, they became even crazier and more ferocious.
"The sound of the flute is weird!" Lin Yue said.
Li Yunfei gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, let's get rid of these monsters first!"
Everyone fought hard and finally repelled this wave of monsters.
"We can't stop, we must find the source of the flute sound." Li Yunfei said.
They walked deeper into the castle along the dim passage. The stone slabs under their feet made dull sounds, as if telling the ancient secrets of the castle.
On the walls on both sides of the passage, there are strange murals, depicting bloody scenes and evil rituals, which are creepy.
"Where the hell is this place?" a soldier asked in a trembling voice.
No one answered, only the sound of heavy breathing and footsteps echoed in the passage.
Suddenly, a huge stone door appeared in front of them. The stone door was engraved with complex runes and emitted a mysterious light.
Li Yunfei pushed the stone door tentatively, but it didn't move at all.
"Everyone, work together!" he shouted.
Everyone worked together and the stone door slowly opened. A strong smell of blood rushed towards them, and the scene before them stunned them.
Inside the room, there was a huge pool of blood, the blood in the pool was rolling and bubbling. Above the pool, there was a black crystal ball suspended, and the melodious flute sound came from the crystal ball.
"This must be the evil weapon of the Dark Cult!" Lin Yue said.
Li Yunfei was about to step forward to destroy the crystal ball, but countless tentacles suddenly stretched out from the blood pool and attacked them.
"Be careful!" Zhang Hao swung his spear and cut off the tentacles.
Mo Ying flashed and avoided the attack of the tentacles.
Li Yunfei seized the opportunity, leaped towards the crystal ball, and chopped it down with his sword using all his strength.
As the crystal ball shattered, the sound of the flute stopped abruptly and the tentacles retracted into the pool of blood.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could recover, the castle began to shake violently and rocks fell.
"Oh no, this castle is going to collapse!" Lin Yue exclaimed.
"Retreat quickly!" Li Yunfei shouted.
Everyone ran towards the exit. Behind them, the castle continued to collapse, as if to bury them forever in the darkness.
Finally, they rushed out of the castle and looked at the collapsed ruins behind them, their hearts filled with gratitude for having survived the disaster.
"The Dark Cult will not give up. We must remain vigilant," said Li Yunfei.
