Chapter 119: The Will of the Demon Castle

"... Lord, I can be counted as the most knowledgeable person, no, monster in the Demon Castle!"

The skull kept talking. Since entering the sewer, its mouth hadn't stopped.

Because it was afraid!

Su Xing was injured, and it was clearly a serious injury. As for how serious it was, the skull couldn't guess.

This was the most terrifying thing!

This kind of strong and ruthless person, when not injured, behaves obediently, and basically won't have life worries. But after the other party is injured, they really take you as a side dish for wine.

The skull wanted to continue saying some useful nonsense, but Su Xing suddenly asked: "That robot commander just now... was it a mecha from the future or something?"

The skull was stunned and immediately answered: "No, Lord, that is a super-ancient life alchemy mecha."

Su Xing said "en," and the skull immediately said obediently: "This is something the Dark Archmage fished out of the Graveyard District after the current Demon King ascended the throne. It is said to be an existence from a very distant time that is completely unexaminable. It is a semi-life, semi-mecha creature manufactured in a special ritual way, so it has intelligence and can become a monster, but it also has technological characteristics. For example, the self-destruction just now actually belongs to a kind of extraordinary power, so the power was so huge."

"Super-ancient?"

Su Xing just asked about the mecha casually, but when the skull said its origin, he really became interested. He asked: "What is the so-called super-ancient? Doesn't the Demon Castle have extraordinaries from all timelines throughout history?"

The skull paused, then continued to float forward. It said: "No, actually this is a misunderstanding, or rather, only the top existences of various factions, as well as extraordinaries at least at the Divine Pulse Hero level, know the fact..."

"This era of ours is already the sixth reincarnation."

Xia Luote and Ma Li were stunned. Ma Li immediately retorted: "Nonsense, the Forbidden Code clearly states that the singularity technology of the technological era last time led to the appearance of the Demon Castle, and the singularity technology of the future in this era led to the appearance of the Giant of the End. How could there be six reincarnations?"

The skull said decisively: "Your Forbidden Code is incomplete. The complete version of the Forbidden Code was lost as early as the third reincarnation. It was also in the third reincarnation that your God no longer responded to any of your prayers and calls. So since then, your Forbidden Code has been artificially supplemented generation after generation, but it continues to be lost at the end of each reincarnation, and then continues to be supplemented. So the Forbidden Code you see now is incomplete."

Xia Luote and Ma Li wanted to refute, but didn't know how to refute.

The skull said at this time: "The so-called Demon Castle has all extraordinaries throughout history, actually referring to this period from the early Divine Era to the end of the End in this era of ours. But the previous era, the era before the previous era, and earlier eras do not have them. The past of these eras is buried deep in the Graveyard District. The earlier the era, the deeper it is buried."

Su Xing didn't speak, just walked forward silently. The skull followed behind him like a dog-legged person, and continued to say: "The Dark Archmage is very interested in the creations and knowledge of these pre-ancient eras. It is the only existence that will go deep into the interior of the graveyard. It is very terrifying inside. Even the Dark Archmage has fallen several times. The current it is no longer the original it."

The skull was afraid that Su Xing wouldn't understand, so it hurriedly said: "The Dark Archmage copies its consciousness in the form of future technological algorithms. Every time its main body dies, its consciousness will occupy the dark body it has manufactured and then resurrect. But this is no longer the original self, and it enjoys it, constantly digging deep into the underground Graveyard District. One is this life mecha, and one is the bronze Minotaur."

Su Xing, Xia Luote, and Ma Li had no reaction.

The skull smiled and said: "You shouldn't underestimate this Minotaur. This is not the Minotaur of our era, but the bronze bloodline Minotaur of the previous era. According to the Dark Archmage's excavation, it once told me that the Divine Era of the previous era never ended. From the beginning to the end, it was always in the Divine Era. The gods never faded. However, the previous era still had the rise and fall of Chaos. When Chaos was strongest and extraordinary was strongest, it was called the Golden Age, followed by the Silver Age, then Bronze, Black Iron, Gray Tin..."

"The bronze Minotaur flows with bronze blood, which is the blood of gods. The Golden blood is unique to the main gods, the Silver blood is unique to the highest gods, and the sons of gods and demigods all have bronze blood. This Minotaur is not the Minotaur of our era that has become a monster, but a son of god, a demigod extraordinary. However, because its era has passed, and it was reborn by the Chaos of the Demon Castle, it no longer has the strength of its son of god."

Su Xing nodded in agreement.

After all, if it were really the so-called gods, demigods, sons of gods, etc., his current strength would probably not be able to win against such a terrifying existence.

But the skull didn't say one thing.

Even if the bronze Minotaur no longer has the strength of its true status, it is not something that ordinary bloodline heroes can match. Not to mention anything else, its bronze body can be called perfect, with natural powerful defense. Even the messy amplification defense superposition of the Puppeteer is far inferior to the bronze Minotaur's own defense. The perfect bronze body is known as copper skin and iron bones, which can exempt or reduce almost all damage. The higher-level perfect silver body can be unharmed by mortal objects, and the final perfect golden body is known as being able to be reborn from a drop of blood.

It's just that the bronze Minotaur was ordered by the Demon King and the Dark Archmage not to go out, so it didn't show its name in the outside world.

The skull knew its true strength well.

The skull estimated their current position and knew that they were actually not far from the Graveyard District. It was most afraid that after arriving at the Graveyard District or entering to lead the way, it would be chopped to pieces by Su Xing. For it, who cherished life, that would be called a grievance.

So it racked its brains to think about how to save itself, how to successfully survive, and then it said: "Lord, do you know why I say the Demon King is the savior?"

Su Xing directly gave a triple "don't": "Don't know, don't care, don't speak."

The skull was choked, but didn't dare not listen, so it could only laugh dryly: "Then what does the Lord want to know? I will definitely know everything and say everything."

Su Xing asked as he walked: "Are there any commander-level monsters similar to the Minotaur in the Demon Castle? I mean this kind of close-quarters combat, peerless defense type."

The skull immediately said: "Yes, yes, but none are as strong as the bronze Minotaur. The only one stronger than the bronze Minotaur is the Demon King. However, the Demon King sits in the Demon King Hall and will not come out easily."

Hearing this, Su Xing felt slightly relieved in his heart. He thought for a moment and asked again: "You are the commander of the Library District? Then why don't you attack the safe zone in the library?"

The skull actually said seriously: "Because I don't like fighting and killing. By comparison, I prefer all kinds of novel information, intelligence, decryption, and knowledge. At the beginning, I mainly hunted those extraordinaries to extract information, but this efficiency was too low. Then a team came to the library. The captain of that team told me a new method, that is, he bought a piece of territory in the library, about three rooms, and then he had a way to build it into a safe zone that could resist Chaos pollution, and then split the account with me 30/70. The money obtained can directly buy all kinds of information."

!

"This person is very eloquent, and he persuaded me. I also wanted to try whether this method is feasible. As a result, it was a great success. Now I don't need to hunt extraordinaries anymore. The 30% share of the safe zone is enough for me to buy any information and knowledge I want."

Hearing this, Su Xing sighed again that Hao Cheng's captain was truly a talent, who had turned a horror adventure game into a construction and cultivation game, and the key was that they succeeded. They could improve the shelter level just by sitting, which was a shelter construction direction Su Xing had never thought of.

Can't help but admire!

Su Xing asked again: "I heard that their captain and two teammates disappeared, dragged into the Demon Realm. Do you know about this?"

The skull paused and said: "Well, I know, because they committed a taboo... they escaped from the Graveyard District."

Su Xing stood still, looked at the skull and said: "What do you mean? Make it clear, what is called escaping? Otherwise, can they walk out safely?"

The skull looked at Su Xing and said: "Yes, walk out... The Graveyard District is the echo of the past Demon Castle, and also the residual shadow of that long-past past. It is not just the Demon Castle of our era, but the history buried from the beginning of its birth. All collapsed past Demon Castles can be encountered in it. Its volume is ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times larger than the existing Demon Castle, and even... the Dark Archmage once said that the volume of the past Demon Castle in the graveyard is larger than the entire world."

"Entrants will encounter different halls according to causal connections or their own character. Although there are also shallow layers, middle layers, deep layers, etc., every entry will inevitably have a special hall waiting for you, or the past Demon King Hall in the shallow layer, or some special commander halls, such as the Grim Reaper of the Demon Castle of our era, or the Dark Archmage Hall."

"Entering the graveyard is your own choice. The step you take has already signed this covenant of cause and effect. You must pass the test of that hall, whether it is by wisdom, by temperament, or by direct battle. Only by passing that hall will you be allowed to leave, otherwise the Chaos brand emitted in the Demon Realm will instantly activate and drag you toward Chaos."

The skull paused, its eye sockets looked toward the Graveyard District in the distance and said: "And those people who established the safe zone used unknown methods to escape from the Graveyard District. This is taking advantage, but this is also blasphemy. At that moment, it angered the Demon Castle itself, and they immediately suffered disaster!"

The skull said to Su Xing in a very serious tone: "The Demon Castle itself has a will. Although no one knows what the will of the Demon Castle itself is, or where it comes from, the Demon King has mentioned more than once that the will of the Demon Castle itself cannot even be twisted by him. So, Lord, even if you know all this, you still want to..."

"Step into that Graveyard District?"
