Chapter 361: Abandoned Ancient Castle (4600 Added)

History Retrospection!

That Gumon giant had, shockingly, retrograded the prohibitive means of a Spirit World Mythical Creature comparable to an "Immortal," directly blocking Martin's escape plan.

"No!"

Only then did Martin know fear, attacking that descending arm frantically.

But his Talismans, flames, and Magical Item effects could not truly land on that arm.

When the palm descended, it easily snatched him up and placed him before the Gumon giant's massive single eye.

A vortex appeared on the Gumon giant's deformed head, swallowing Martin in one gulp, and a teeth-aching chewing sound immediately followed.

The footsteps of the many Gumon giants quickened at once.

Yefunai suddenly felt a bit of reluctance to deceive these big children weighing several tons.

Watching this scene, Yefunai could not help but sigh.

The many giants arrived before a group of buildings and set her down.

"Now, have they grown tired of the original structure and want a new version of the puzzle? Or perhaps the design blueprints?"

Aaron thought to himself: "When I arrive later, should I just enter using the identity of 'Aokelaier'... there shouldn't be any major problems."

Yefunai's eyes lit up; she seemed to have discovered a fine location to build a wonder.

Duozuolun led Aaron past the overgrown main hall to the entrance of the basement: "That place was originally a huge storage room, later we renovated it into a Dixa Lingmu... the Speaker wants to see you inside."

Then, the other party respectfully invited him to another place.

"In the nearby villages, there are rumors of this forest being haunted, and the source is the abandoned ancient castle within the forest..."

On the clear, crystal-like giant lake, the mist was vast, surrounded by tall woods, with a pitch-black cliff in the distance.

After all, Evil Spirits love to devour their blood descendants most!

"The inheritance within the Parliament has always been somewhat incomplete..." Liliyat sighed silently.

"In short, this place seems very suitable as a backup... it's just, a bit too suitable..."

If she did not take the new path Aaron described, the Speaker's present might be her future!

"It's not just a problem of inheritance... wasn't Aokelaier also trapped in the Lingmu? After losing their body, 'Evil Spirits' are naturally a type that easily loses control!"

Yefunai approached and discovered many model blueprints and instructions on it...

That sense of déjà vu became increasingly obvious.

They let out joyful cries, pointing at a mud tablet on a wall.

She did not attempt to run, because the Gumon giant's ability to retrograde had sealed her in as well.

The mist dispersed, and one Gumon giant after another emerged.

The tallest Gumon giant stared at Yefunai with its single eye and suddenly beckoned.

She seemed to have passed through a layer of History Mist, and a scene like a paradise appeared before her eyes.

Yefunai had no choice but to follow behind the many Gumon giants, moving like an ant.

Although, they were also a bit too easy to fool.

One giant seemed to feel her movement speed was too slow, stretched out a large hand, grabbed her, and placed her on its shoulder.

'The only problem is how to converse with these Gumon giants and sign a Contract of sufficient efficacy?'

'Is this... meant to be me following it?'

After all, that Speaker had not been transformed for long; judging from the other party's description, they should still maintain a certain degree of humanity, which could be 'Jiusu'!

"We're here!"

Liliyat wanted to say something but stopped.

The main building of the castle was already dilapidated, with a large hole broken in one part of the roof, allowing wind, rain, and sunlight to pass through unimpeded.

If not for knowing Aaron's strength, this scene would look exactly like some out-of-control Evil Spirit ancestor luring a descendant to their death!

Possessing the 'Shadowless' ability, traveling to any place in the Mortal World was just a small matter.

However, Aaron did not directly take Liliyat to the headquarters of the 'Green Banyan Council'.

This was not just a movement of Spirit World distance; Yefunai felt a layer of historical change even more.

They did not dare to explore much, as they could still contact the Speaker through that mirror.

Thump, thump!

In the forest, green as emerald, young Gumon giants were playing and frolicking...

The ancient moat had long been filled in, with only faint traces visible; the granite was covered in moss, and the original walls also had huge gaps.

Duozuolun carried a cold aura, squeezed out a slight smile, and led the way in front: "Actually, the haunting of the dilapidated castle is just a disguise... our Speaker has built their own Lingmu there, preparing to ascend to 'Evil Spirit', and then, for certain reasons, the door to the Lingmu has not been reopened..."

Duozuolun stopped his footsteps, and both Aaron and Liliyat saw an abandoned ancient castle emerge at the end of their line of sight.

Some of them were only seven or eight meters tall, some exceeded fifteen meters, and the largest one even exceeded twenty meters!

Yefunai's expression was already numb; she loudly used the Spirit World Language and gestures to express that she had no malice.

"This place... seems to be the habitat of the Gumon giants, protected by History Mist on the outside... if you are not an Extraordinary of the 'Mystery' pathway, or led by a Spirit World Creature, you simply cannot find this place."

When she saw many young Gumon giants hollowing out mountain rocks and stacking buildings with square giant stones like building blocks, she could not help but be even more satisfied.

He first found another remote place to settle Vernon Doren, then took Liliyat to the 'Green Banyan Council' and was received by a member named 'Duozuolun Sotos'.

"Hmm... this is the splicing block game popular in Invis; I don't know which Extraordinary taught it to them... this kind of block game, it is said, also originated from that 'Green Forest Earl', what was it called in ancient times?"

He could completely dismantle the Spirit World wonders and let them build them like toys, or at least cast some modular components first...

Thump, thump!

"In the Spirit World, even if you are cautious, you may attract death at any time for reasons that are not your own..."

They were generally under ten meters tall, some even only two or three meters high, and the strongest were only comparable to non-humans.

Immediately, several young Gumon giants two or three meters tall crawled over, curiously sizing up this little speck.

More importantly, if that Lingmu were to undergo any strange changes, it would be far too dangerous for the low-strength Sotos.

In the pitch-black forest, the forest path appeared extremely narrow, as if no one ever passed by it at all.

Aaron gazed at the end of the underground passage, at that Black Iron door covered in various Mysterious Talismans, and seemed to sense the cold aura from behind the door.

In reality, he was complaining in his heart: "The descendants of Sotos are truly getting worse and worse... Although Aokelaier was a failure, that Dixa Lingmu was still considered decent... By the time it reached Tias, he could only occupy someone else's castle like a cuckoo, and it was just a converted basement at that!"
