Chapter 161: Deep into the Nightmare Land

Li Er danced her Light Sword like a phantom, and the God-level Ion Blade Storm raged wildly with her at its center.

The azure sword Qi crisscrossed, as if weaving a web of death.

Wherever it passed, the Vampire Descendants let out miserable cries one after another, their bodies sliced into pieces by the sword Qi.

Seeing this, the Lord-level vampire noble felt a flash of shock and anger in his eyes.

He quickly formed seals with his hands, and before long, the surrounding ground suddenly cracked open, and scarlet tentacles drilled out from the earth, winding toward Li Er.

These tentacles looked incredibly tough, and their surfaces emitted a nauseating aura.

But even so, once these tentacles touched Li Er's blade storm, they instantly turned into puffs of blood mist.

"What... what kind of monster are you?"

The vampire noble's eyes were full of terror; his signature ultimate move was actually useless against this young girl.

Just as he was stunned for a moment, Li Er's blade swept across his body, and he was instantly minced into a pile of flesh.

Seeing their leader killed, the surviving Vampire Descendants scattered like a tree falling and the monkeys dispersing, turning into bats one after another and fleeing for their lives toward the entrance of the Demon Cave.

Li Er's combat power was terrifying; in just over ten seconds, that large wave of Vampire Descendants suffered heavy casualties, and even that Lord-level vampire noble couldn't withstand a single move, meeting a tragic end the moment he appeared.

"Father?"

Seeing those Vampire Descendants fleeing frantically back to their lair, Li Er retracted her move and turned around, seeking Zhou Chu's opinion.

Zhou Chu emerged from the void and nodded: "Strike while the iron is hot, attack the lair!"

Thus, with Li Er still leading the way, the two of them entered the red vortex.

The scene before his eyes flashed, and Zhou Chu found that he was already in a pitch-black jungle.

The reason for the darkness was not because the jungle was particularly dense, but because it was the dead of night inside the Demon Cave.

Through the sparse branches and leaves, one could still see a crescent moon hanging in the black night sky.

The Nightmare Land was simply a different world from the outside.

Zhou Chu carefully observed his surroundings and found that a strange silence permeated this jungle.

The occasional calls of crows and owls only added to the eerie atmosphere.

Just then, a rustling sound suddenly came from not far away, and Zhou Chu immediately spread out his Death Perception.

Death Perception instantly constructed a real-time image before Zhou Chu's eyes.

He saw thousands of spiders swarming out from an ancient castle not far away, which made one's heart creep.

Although these spiders were only the size of a washbasin, each spider had a red light point constantly flickering on its rear, appearing very strange.

They scrambled to climb out from the holes in the ancient castle, and this castle was like a giant production line, producing them endlessly.

A-Grade Calamity monsters, Blood-Explosion Demon Spiders!

These monsters could shoot a unique scarlet spider silk and weave a spider web with blood-sucking effects; the most fatal thing was that these demon spiders could also self-destruct.

Zhou Chu did not want to face such a huge number of self-destructing demon spiders alone, so he immediately retreated into the void again, and Li Er also soared into the air, relying on her Rocket Thruster to fly up.

The number of these demon spiders was simply too great; once surrounded by them, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, Zhou Chu had a sudden whim and dropped a few Corpse-Exploders from the air.

Sensing the scent of prey, the demon spiders sprayed red spider silk at the Corpse-Exploders one after another, wrapping them up in the blink of an eye.

The red spider webs flickered constantly, as if frantically sucking the blood from the Corpse-Exploders.

But how could there be any blood inside the bodies of these Corpse-Exploders?

As for what was inside these Corpse-Exploders, Zhou Chu had no idea.

Only the Lich King knew best.

However, these blood-sucking spider webs still continuously consumed the health bars of the Corpse-Exploders.

Very quickly, the few Corpse-Exploders detonated one after another, and red mushroom clouds rose up; the powerful impact force, like invisible Hurricanes, spread from the center of the mushrooms to the surroundings.

The self-destruction of the Corpse-Exploders then triggered a series of chain reactions, causing the large number of Blood-Explosion Demon Spiders to detonate one after another like small time bombs.

The ignition speed of the Blood-Explosion Demon Spiders was extremely fast; they were instantly ignited within the spider tide, like strings of firecrackers being lit, spreading rapidly toward the ancient castle.

Those demon spiders that had just crawled out of the holes were immediately detonated, even causing the sound of explosions to ring out inside the ancient castle.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Zhou Chu and Li Er quickly arrived near the ancient castle.

This ancient castle looked very old.

The gate of the castle was towering and thick, carved with various twisted runes and strange patterns, emitting a mysterious and dangerous aura under the moonlight.

Presumably, this ancient castle was the lair of the King-level Evil Demon Lucita.

He wondered if Jiang Chen was actually in this castle.

Zhou Chu intended to rely on Void Shuttle to go into the castle alone to scout around.

Thus, Zhou Chu had Li Er attract attention outside the castle, while he slipped his form and flashed through a window into the castle.

As soon as he entered the castle, a cold aura rushed toward him, as if a ghost in the air was blowing cold air at him, making him shiver involuntarily.

The interior of the castle was dim and lightless, with only a few wisps of moonlight shining in from the dilapidated windows, barely illuminating a small area.

At this time, Zhou Chu was in a long, winding corridor, with portraits hanging on the walls on both sides at regular intervals.

The faces of the figures in the portraits were twisted, and their features were almost indistinguishable, which made one feel creepy to look at.

Zhou Chu wandered through the castle using the void without anyone noticing, but he did not see a single monster.

Having searched almost the entire castle, Zhou Chu finally arrived in front of a grand hall.

The two large doors of the hall were ajar, and a few wisps of candlelight were reflected from the cracks in the doors.

Zhou Chu immediately flashed inside, only to see candles lit everywhere in the hall, the dim yellow light flickering on the walls, making the entire space permeate with a dreamlike yet eerie atmosphere.

Vampire Descendants dressed in various costumes stood in the hall, all eyes cast upon a gorgeous throne on the high platform directly in front.

The throne displayed a classical magnificence, and a woman dressed in a gorgeous black long dress with a black veil over her face was reclining on the seat.

One of her jade-white feet was resting on the armrest of the chair, while the other foot hung below the chair, and a figure was prostrate at her feet, gently kissing the woman's foot.

This person had a look of infatuation on his face, appearing even completely gratified.

And the woman on the throne, with her blood-red eyes, emitted a soul-captivating Light Tier and Ray Tier glow, looking down at the docile young man at her feet with a playful expression.

Zhou Chu saw the man prostrate at the woman's feet, and a trace of surprise instantly appeared on his face.

He was Jiang Chen!
