Chapter 120: Entering and Finding

Wu Pifu didn't even answer, because he only had one answer.

And seeing Wu Pifu like this, the skull continued: "Since my lord has decided to enter the Graveyard District, there are a few points you need to pay attention to. The first is that the Graveyard District is divided into three layers: shallow, middle, and deep, with increasing levels of terror. The deeper the layer, the more terrifying it is."

"Every time you enter the Graveyard District, it will be determined whether you are in the shallow, middle, or deep layer based on the Chaos pollution on you and the number of entries. At the same time, the hall you reach will be determined based on your cause and effect, attributes, mental state, and what you are seeking. And there are no connecting passages between halls."

"Once you enter the Graveyard District, you must pass the test of that hall, whether by wisdom, temperament, or direct combat. As long as you can pass that hall, you can obtain huge gains, or strength, or fantasy items, or past secret information, knowledge, and intelligence sufficient to change the pattern of the entire world. At the same time, the exit will appear."

"Never, never try to leave the Graveyard District without passing the test. Some magic rituals, special bloodlines, or rare extraordinary abilities can break through the barriers of the Graveyard District and return to the real world, but this will only enrage the will of the Demon Castle, causing you to be dragged into the Demon World. Remember, remember!!"

At this time, the crowd had arrived at the junction of the Sewer and the Graveyard District.

The Sewer is a primitive rock structure layer. Rather than calling it a Sewer area, it is more appropriate to call it an underground rock layer passage area. The monsters in it are mostly underground giant insects, skeletons, and bat monsters. However, with the skull accompanying them, all monsters along the way fled.

And this skull's understanding of the Demon Castle's geography far exceeded Xia Luote and Mary's, almost reaching the Graveyard District directly without any obstacles.

The entrance to the Graveyard District is a huge gap that appeared directly on the ground. Skulls of various creatures are placed on both sides of the gap—human, monster, mythological creature—and thick fog gushes out from this gap. However, it dissipates immediately once it leaves the gap, just making it impossible for people to see the situation inside the gap.

"This is the Graveyard District. Once you step into it, be prepared to never return," the skull said, looking at the entrance of the Graveyard District with lingering fear.

Wu Pifu looked at this huge gap and asked the skull: "How to find the hall I want to go to? Instead of being drawn to other halls?"

The skull thought for a while and said: "I don't know this either. I've only entered a few halls in the shallow layer and almost didn't come back. If I have to say a method... a strong inner intention?"

Wu Pifu was silent for a long time, then nodded heavily, and then he said to Xia Luote and Mary: "You don't go in. Otherwise, if there are too many people, I'm afraid I don't know what other halls I will be drawn into. And you two are both from the Holy See. I'm afraid I will be drawn into the so-called Hall of Light."

Xia Luote and Mary's expressions changed, but they couldn't say anything else at this time.

Wu Pifu said to the skull: "I am going to an unknown future, so it is unrealistic to threaten you with my life. How about this, I will hire you once... I have met Hao Cheng, who established the safe zone. I will hire you to escort them to the Library safe zone. One thousand yuan, is that okay?"

The skull was stunned for a moment, but it was overjoyed in its heart.

What it feared was that Wu Pifu would kill it now. Since it wouldn't die, this was the greatest luck. It nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I will escort them back to the Library safe zone."

Wu Pifu nodded silently, then stood at the entrance of the Graveyard District and turned to look at the two and the skull. He laughed and cupped his fists at them: "The green hills will not change, the green water will flow forever. If I don't die, there will definitely be a time to meet again. Don't be like a child. I'm going."

After speaking, without waiting for their reaction, he turned and rushed into the Graveyard District.

As soon as he entered, Wu Pifu immediately felt a hazy mental will. Everything he saw before his eyes was chaos, and he couldn't see it clearly.

Just then, the Sleepless Spiritual Light in his sea of consciousness shone brightly, and Wu Pifu felt several hazy pulling forces coming.

It was said to be a pulling force, but it was more like an information projection directly into his brain. One was an aura full of light, one was blood-red brutality, one was a martial arts will with strict rules, and another was gray with a death aura.

These feelings were the most obvious. Besides these, there were dozens or hundreds of pulls existing, and Wu Pifu sensed something in the gray death aura. Then he gathered all his strength, plus the pulling of the Sleepless Spiritual Light, and rushed toward that death aura.

It sounds complicated, but all these senses passed in a flash. When Wu Pifu came back to his senses, he saw a narrow passage in front of him. The passage was filled with various coffins and dry bones on both sides. The passage was gloomy and terrifying, and only the torches that appeared every ten meters or so provided dim light.

But these torches actually emitted green light, making everything look even more gloomy and terrifying.

Wu Pifu looked behind him. Behind him was a wall. This passage only had a way forward.

He didn't hesitate and stepped forward to walk toward the front of the passage, while also using blood qi to treat his injuries as he walked.

In the previous battle, he was actually seriously injured.

One was the battle with the bronze Minotaur. That Minotaur was actually very powerful. Several collisions caused damage to his meridians and internal organs, especially being hit directly by its palm, which almost shattered half of his body's bones. Even though he used Dan energy to block it, there were multiple bone cracks on his body, not to mention the injuries to his internal organs. As for the battle with the life robot, although he was hit directly by the explosion, the power of the explosion was actually not as great as imagined. First, the power of technological weapons dropped significantly. Even for strange things like life mecha, the explosion power was far less than it looked. Second, its power was expansive. Wu Pifu was wrapped in Dan energy, so his skin surface looked charred, but the damage to him was not as strong as the Minotaur's palm.

Wu Pifu estimated the injuries he received, which were between minor and serious, far from the level that would make him lose his combat effectiveness.

Along the way, he had been mobilizing blood and blood qi to heal himself rapidly, especially his internal organs and cracked bones. By now, although it was still far from healing, it at least didn't affect him to continue fighting.

Coming out of this passage, outside were several wider passages extending in all directions. Each passage was filled with coffins and bones, and the sizes of these coffins were getting stranger. Some coffins were only the size of a palm, and some were twenty or thirty meters long. And besides the coffins, various bones were also becoming more terrifying.

These bones were mostly scattered, but some sat on stone chairs, and their forms were different. Basically, they were humanoid, but with a pair of wings on their backs, or hooves on their feet, heads of cattle, sheep, or horses, or limbs as hands, etc.

The further he walked, the more strange these bones looked.

Wu Pifu walked forward for a distance, then stood at a crossroads and closed his eyes silently. The Sleepless Spiritual Light burned brilliantly in his mind, and the "Heart Lake" sensing state was magnified to the limit.

Everything around him seemed to be reflected in his heart. He "saw" headless knights patrolling in this tomb, and bones trembling, seeming to want to stand up from the coffins or chairs, but inexplicable power suppressed them, making them turn into completely dead dry bones, and then...

Wu Pifu opened his eyes suddenly, holding his broadsword and rushing toward a passage quickly. Then, a headless knight was patrolling head-on.

When Wu Pifu rushed over, the headless knight immediately drew its greatsword from its waist, but Wu Pifu's speed was astonishing. Before its greatsword was completely drawn, Wu Pifu had already rushed in front of it, and then the white blade light swept across like a full moon. In a flash, Wu Pifu had already crossed its body and continued to rush forward.

This headless knight stood still for a moment, then its body and greatsword crumbled at the same time. There was nothing in the armor, leaving only the armor and greatsword slowly crumbling into ash.

!

Following the death of this headless knight, at least ten headless knights seemed to receive some kind of instruction, rushing out from every passage and every corner, coming toward Wu Pifu.

And Wu Pifu didn't care at all, just rushing forward with his head down. Everything that blocked him in front was shattered with one blow, and then he crossed over without even pausing.

In this way, he rushed through several passages and broke into a slightly narrow small path. As soon as he entered it, he immediately saw a large and a small woman tied to the wall of the passage by chains.

These chains seemed to be alive, piercing into the wrists and ankles of the two women, and then piercing into the collarbones, and then pumping blood from their bodies one by one. However, the speed of pumping blood was not very fast, and from the wall beneath these two women, stone chairs vaguely appeared. These two chairs had already slightly protruded from the wall, and the blood absorbed by the chains was poured into these chairs.

Clearly, when the flesh and blood of the two women were completely extracted, the chairs beneath them would take shape, and then the two of them would turn into bones and sit on these chairs together.

Wu Pifu's eyes were calm and waveless, but beneath this calmness was a surging torrent.

In just an instant, Wu Pifu jumped into mid-air, and the broadsword in his hand flashed, cutting off all the chains on the two women. Immediately after, the two women fell to the ground.

Wu Pifu hugged Jiu Jiu with both hands, and at the same time, he nudged Daphne, who was also falling, and placed her on the ground.

Perhaps it was because they had only been pumped for blood for a short time, or perhaps the pain of the chains breaking woke them up. Jiu Jiu slowly opened her eyes, and when she looked, she saw Wu Pifu's calm eyes.

"Wu Pifu... Wu Pifu, am I going to die? Is this a dream? I'm so scared, it's so scary here, it's so scary..."

Jiu Jiu blinked, large tears rolling down. She whispered weakly.

Wu Pifu nodded silently, watching Jiu Jiu about to close her eyes and faint again. He whispered: "Hmm, I know... I know everything, but don't be afraid..."

"I'm here."

Wu Pifu gently put down Jiu Jiu, then turned to look at the entrance of the passage.

Nearly ten headless knights stood at the entrance, their swords drawn.

Ready for battle.
