Chapter 111
The Demon Castle has two deepest parts: one is the Demon King's Hall at the supreme peak, and the other is the Forgotten Hall in the graveyard area at the deepest part of the underground.
The danger levels of the two cannot be compared, but in terms of strangeness and the unknown, the Forgotten Hall in the graveyard area is much more mysterious.
"What is buried in the graveyard area is not the bones of the Demon King's relatives or subordinates, but the residual shadows of the leaders of the Demon Castle throughout the ages, as well as the echoes of various Demon Kings. In terms of strength, they may not even be half, or even one-tenth, of their prime, but the most terrifying thing is their quantity and the invasion of chaos!"
Xia Luote said seriously to Wu Pifu: "In the thousands of years of the Holy See, we have sent thousands and tens of thousands of teams into the Demon Castle. This didn't just start after the appearance of the End Giant. Long, long ago, the Holy See's exploration of the Demon Castle had been continuous, and the exploration of the graveyard area had never stopped, but... no one has ever explored its true bottom!"
"The graveyard area of the Demon Castle is bottomless!"
Xia Luote wanted to persuade Wu Pifu to give up, because the graveyard area was really too dangerous!
If the Demon Castle itself is a place where chaotic monsters gather, but still retains intellectual lives like leaders and Demon Kings, then the graveyard area is a place of complete chaos. Everything there only has the most chaotic essence of chaos, without any intellect to speak of.
The existences there are the enemies of life!
Besides those residual shadows of past leaders and Demon Kings, there are also chaotic phenomena wandering in the graveyard area. That is the manifestation of a more pure essence of chaos than chaotic monsters, similar to rule-based horror stories, but even more unsolvable. Some phenomena are even directly unsolvable; encountering them means death!
"Besides these..."
Xia Luote said very seriously to Wu Pifu: "The chaos in the graveyard area is more obvious. The entire area of the Demon Castle will change over time, but there is always a cycle, usually a full moon night, or a few full moon nights. The closer you are to the Demon King's Hall at the highest point, the lower the frequency of map changes, but in the graveyard area, it is changing every moment. You might not find the way back in the blink of an eye. You climb upward, but you are actually going deeper into the bottom layer. You walk through a room you came from, and after entering, you find it is the Demon King's Hall of the past..."
The woman also persuaded from the side: "Yes, before I came in, the Archbishop and the Pope's Hall told me that the graveyard area is a forbidden zone. For an existence like a hero, don't waste your life in that forbidden zone. What we need to do now is to go to the Demon King's Hall. Many transcendent heroes have gathered there. One more person means one more hope."
Wu Pifu just smiled and didn't speak.
He stood up, cupped his hands to the man and woman, and said: "Thank you both for your help, and thank you for the Holy See's news. The green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. We will meet again if fate allows!"
After speaking, he turned and was about to leave this Return Room.
Xia Luote immediately called him back from behind and said: "Since you are determined to go to the graveyard area, let's go together on the way."
Wu Pifu looked at him suspiciously. Xia Luote explained: "We are now in the entrance area. To get to the graveyard area, we need to walk through the entrance area, enter the corridor area, then enter the sewer from the middle area of the reception hall, and then the entrance to the graveyard area is at the lowest point of the sewer. Do you know the general path to these areas?"
Wu Pifu shook his head blankly. Xia Luote smiled and said: "We know."
The woman also echoed from the side: "We are a low-level transcendent team, a pure exploration team, different from those transcendents who kill Demon Kings in the Demon Castle to attack the leaders of various areas and to challenge the Demon King, striving to become stronger and climbing upward. Our task is to explore any area we can reach, record the changes of monsters in these areas, record the traces of leaders, and record the location of the Return Room and safe zones."
Xia Luote took over the topic and said: "Exactly. We have no clear destination and specific tasks. Simply put, if we die, that's it. So we can completely travel with you until the entrance of the graveyard area. It can be said that no one is more familiar with the paths in these areas than us."
Wu Pifu was naturally overjoyed to hear this, but he also knew that he really owed the two of them a favor.
Both of them were weak in strength. In Wu Pifu's perception, the man was stronger, but he claimed to be a second-tier Holy Name transcendent, so this woman was probably between the first and second tier.
To be honest, Wu Pifu felt that they couldn't even survive in this entrance area, yet they wanted to go deeper. This was really risking their lives to accompany him.
He really wanted to refuse, but he couldn't say the words of refusal, because on the other side, Qiuqiu had fallen into such a dangerous place, and he had no idea of the specific path. If he really waited for himself to explore slowly, I'm afraid dozens of days would have passed, and he couldn't imagine what would happen to Qiuqiu.
"I..."
Wu Pifu turned and cupped his hands, but couldn't say a complete sentence.
He didn't say much more. This kindness of risking their lives to accompany him could not be repaid with words. He could only keep it firmly in his heart.
At the moment, the three of them left the Return Room. Less than half a day had passed outside, and no new monsters had spawned at all. Xia Luote began to introduce their transcendent systems and strengths to Wu Pifu.
Both of them were climbing the Holy Name, but the Holy Name is sacred and cannot be casually told to outsiders, so they only introduced the specific abilities of their transcendent systems.
Xia Luote can create a kind of slothful emotion to make the opponent "hold back." Simply put, it is to make the opponent's exerted power decrease proportionally. This power is overall, including pure physical strength, attack speed, reaction speed, transcendent abilities, and even the speed of thinking.
He is sublimating along the path of Sloth among the seven original sins. According to him, as he gradually becomes stronger, the reduction ratio of sloth will gradually increase, and every promotion in rank can obtain an additional transcendent power related to the sloth domain.
The woman is named Marie, and she is sublimating along the path of Benevolence. She is currently a first-tier transcendent, and only has the ability to enhance the efficacy of holy water, making holy water have the characteristics of slight healing and dispelling pollution. This is a transcendent power, and it can only maintain the enhanced effect of holy water for five minutes. It must be drunk within five minutes, so it cannot be made in advance for long-term preservation. This is a very good logistics and medical personnel. Similarly, with the climbing of the Holy Name rank, the transcendent ability will also be strengthened, and new transcendent powers will be obtained with each promotion in rank.
Finally, there is Wu Pifu, uh, uh uh...
Great strength, knows Wu Gong, good physical strength, and also has the Sleepless Spiritual Light that can purify pollution.
Simply put, except for a light ball spell, Wu Pifu has maxed out his warrior skill points, what tripping, what dual-wielding attacks, two-handed attacks, cleave, great cleave, etc...
How to add points for a mage, waiting online, quite urgent.jpg.
However, Xia Luote and the other didn't find it strange. On the contrary, Marie said very happily: "Your transcendent power is like a hero from the age of gods. In the records of the Holy See, the heroes of that era could tear sea monsters with their hands and strangle evil dragons. It is said that the strongest divine-veined hero even killed the Titans who attacked Mount Olympus."
Xia Luote also nodded in agreement: "This is a pure combat-type transcendence. Among the Holy Name climbing, only the Pride of the original sin system is similar to this, but the purity is not enough. There are some fancy transcendent powers, which are far from being as pure as the combat power of the heroes of the age of gods."
Wu Pifu walked in the front, but his old face turned red.
Heaven and earth conscience, if he had a choice, he wouldn't want this kind of pure physical fighting style at all, okay!?
How handsome is Chu Minghao, walking the world with a sword box, looking at whoever is unhappy, directly using Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin. That's what you call handsome, okay?
No matter what, with two veterans leading the team, Wu Pifu's speed of progress was indeed much faster. He also discovered that these two had a set of identification methods. The passages they took him into and the rooms they entered often had very few monsters. Rooms with twenty or thirty monsters were considered many, and relatively speaking, the monsters were also weaker. For him, it was a "yingying monster" with one slap. After not walking for long, the three of them came to an internal garden area from the room.
Xia Luote introduced: "This is the corridor area. It is mostly this kind of garden connecting passage. The strength of the monsters here is one level higher than the entrance area, but as long as you don't encounter elite monsters, ordinary people can deal with them in groups."
!
Marie also smiled and said: "There are picnic seats in some gardens in this area. There are often no monsters there. We can have a full meal and use it as a safe zone for rest."
Wu Pifu nodded, still led by the two, and asked suddenly: "Speaking of which, so many people have entered the Demon Castle, have there been any conflicts, clashes, or alliances, transactions, etc.?"
Xia Luote smiled and replied: "How could there not be? Hostile transcendent forces will clash. Even if they are all dealing with the End Giant, once they meet, they will often fight. Of course, they still maintain restraint and tacit understanding with each other, unless the strength difference is too great, not to mention. As for alliances and transactions, there are also some. Usually, it is some transcendent force teams with complete personnel and powerful strength. They unite to deal with the leaders."
"And the trading area, or public safe zone, is in the library area. We haven't been there, but the Holy See records say that there is a huge safe zone there that isolates chaotic pollution, but you can only stay for seven days per full moon cycle, which can be timed separately. For transcendents fighting in the Demon Castle, this is the only place for complete rest besides the Return Room. I heard that it has developed into an area similar to a small town."
Truly wonderful, Wu Pifu thought.
At this time, the three of them had walked through three rooms and two gardens, but they hadn't encountered a single monster. Either their luck was extremely good, or someone ahead had cleared the monsters.
Then, when they entered a garden area again, they saw three people eating and drinking at a dining table ahead.
Seeing these three people, Xia Luote's face darkened. He whispered to Wu Pifu: "They are dark forces, not chaotic monsters, but they unscrupulously use people for experiments and carry out massacres in the real world. They are not good things... But thanks to you, with a strong person like you by our side, these bullies who fear the strong and bully the weak will definitely not dare to provoke us easily."
Marie also nodded repeatedly: "They are also reconnaissance teams of the same level as us, and they are dark forces, so they are the most sensible."
Wu Pifu just wanted to cover his face.
Sure enough, as soon as the three saw Xia Luote and Marie, they all snorted coldly. Obviously, they were old acquaintances, and they were old acquaintances with opposing camps.
But in the next second, a thin old man stood up from the dining table. He held a skull staff and sneered: "Two pieces of trash, bringing a mortal piece of trash! It would be better to give this mortal to me, just in time to extract his soul to make a weapon!"
Xia Luote: "?"
Marie: "?"
Wu Pifu: "..."
The thin old man directly raised the skull staff in his hand toward Wu Pifu.
