Chapter 2391: Ringed Shushis and Ordinary People
The convoy transporting vegetables and meat soon entered the castle, but only stopped in the courtyard in front of the gate and could not go deep. The servants and guards in the castle appeared together to take down the large baskets on the carriages, and then the coachmen drove the empty carriages away immediately.
The drawbridge rose again with a creaking~ sound, and after a bang~ sound, it completely blocked the huge gate hole of the castle.
Five minutes later, Xia De, Mr. Bernhardt, and Mr. Albert, who had confirmed that there was no problem, walked out of the shadows at the corner of the wall. Just now, the three had disguised themselves as guards of the convoy and came, and at this time they were still wearing black coats and carrying pistols.
Because of the need for disguise, Xia De did not bring any of the holy swords in the end. At this time, the three looked at the towering castle and the lights lit in the windows of the building. Mr. Bernhardt said first:
"Gentlemen, we have all seen the map before coming. Although the interior here is as complex as a maze, there is only one main road. If there are no accidents, now the merchant Thomas Pidgeon should be playing cards with people in the courtyard behind the castle, and that 'great musician' Carmen Eddington is resting alone in the room on the top floor of the castle."
"Let's act separately."
Xia De said, and Mr. Albert nodded:
"We have three people... Mr. Watson, Thomas Pidgeon playing cards in the back of the courtyard is the closest to here. Can you go alone? Armand flies directly to the top floor to control Carmen Eddington, and I will start 'cleaning up' from the bottom floor to ensure that no accidents occur."
This castle is quite large, and the open-air external courtyard has three levels, and then one can enter the interior of the high tower of the main castle building:
"No problem, it is 7:13 now. Twenty minutes later, we will meet in Carmen Eddington's bedroom."
Xia De said.
"No problem."
"No problem."
Mr. Bernhardt took out the wooden sign hidden behind his clothes, on which was written in ancient language—【No Entry】.
Keeper-level relic 【No Entry Sign】, after activation, forms a boundary, prohibiting the entry and exit of all objects within the boundary range.
This is not the first time Xia De has seen this relic. During the Coldwater Port incident last summer, the fishmen of the 【Scarlet Cult】 used this sign to block "Aurora Manor" (402).
At that time, Xia De, who was still a low-ring, could not resist this relic relying only on "Key of the Door" and "Spatial Stability Aura," and finally had to rely on "Lagley's Jump" to barely "squeeze" into the manor.
Xia De didn't know where Marquis Mosen got this relic, but it was likely that after the 【Scarlet Cult】's "Sea Return" plan failed, in order to recover losses and raise money, they sold the relic for money.
Mr. Bernhardt chanted the activation spell softly, and then pushed the sign gently, and it hid into the void. The invisible boundary was formed, and except for Mr. Bernhardt himself, no one could cancel the effect of this relic.
"Moon Thorn."
Xia De also said softly, and huge silver glowing thorns broke through the ground from the trench outside the castle, climbing all over the outer wall of the castle amidst the exclamations of the people patrolling in the forest outside:
"To prevent people from entering and exiting by means of spatial movement, this relic is afraid of this."
Xia De said to the two companions, and the blood-sucking species nodded:
"See you later."
Their plump faces shrank rapidly until they became a withered appearance that was almost completely dehydrated. Human hands deformed and elongated, turning into claws.
They soared into the air and turned into two groups of blood mist. One flew directly upward towards the higher part of the castle, and the other greeted the people who were in chaos because of the appearance of the "Moonlight Thorn."
Xia De did not take out the dragon scale sword that had been repaired with more dragon scale coins and broken swords, but pinched two petals and placed them in his palm.
People who had come to the front of the castle to check the situation had already seen him, but before the muzzle was raised, the two petals flew into the air with Xia De's blowing:
"Flying Flower Curse!"
The sky full of pink flower rain descended on the courtyard on the bottom floor of the castle, and appearing with the flower rain was pink miasma with a sweet taste.
Bang bang~ two gunshots, but they were dodged by Xia De. Then there was a series of falling sounds. The toxic miasma had an excellent effect on ordinary people. Of course, Xia De did not kill them; this poisonous mist would not cause death.
Bang!
Another gunshot, but Xia De raised his hand to pinch the bullet flying towards him, and then looked at the three-story tower with many shooting holes on his left.
He used a little force to pinch the bullet flat, and then threw it in the direction the bullet came from. Xia De took a deep breath, didn't even think about walking through the door, but rushed forward, crashing through the outer wall of the gray small building in a loud noise.
It took less than half a minute for him to walk out again, dragging a heavy solid wood wardrobe tied to the end of the chain in his right hand.
Closing his eyes to listen to the heartbeat, he then swung the chain and threw the wardrobe towards the three-story tower with many shooting holes on the right front.
The wardrobe hit the side wall of the tower and scattered into a pile of garbage, and then the circular stone table in the courtyard, which was picked up by Xia De with one hand, smashed through the entire third floor of the tower.
Scattered gunshots continued to come from the windows of various buildings scattered in the castle courtyard, but Xia De turned and entered the stable, then threw the stone trough towards the direction pointed by "She"'s gentle voice.
After a few loud noises that seemed to shake the ground, the gunshots became much weaker.
Xia De bypassed the main castle tower and continued to walk towards the back of the courtyard. As the spirit was constantly consumed, the pink miasma and flower rain spread to more places as he moved forward.
Someone used a wet towel to block their mouth and took the risk to continue shooting at him in the fog, but Xia De, who had just picked up a few stones from the ground, just dodged the bullets and threw the stones, and the gunshots of those last resistors disappeared.
Passing through the door in the stone wall used to divide the courtyard area, and stepping on the steps that existed because of the uneven terrain, when Xia De found the three-story small building where Thomas Pidgeon was playing cards marked on the map, dozens of steam bombs were thrown out from the windows almost at the same time.
The landed steam bombs sprayed gas while spinning constantly, but as Xia De hooked his hand, all the bombs flew directly into the sky and exploded one after another in the air.
The metal fragments and small steel balls hadn't touched Xia De before they were swallowed by the big fireball thrown from his hand. So Xia De closed his eyes again to feel the heartbeat in that three-story house, and then raised his right hand and threw a thunder spear directly.
And while the thunder spear pierced through the house, he rushed forward and jumped forward, entering the house from the gap on the third floor broken by the thunder spear.
Thunder light exploded inside the house, followed by a series of gunshots, explosions, and screams.
After the last abnormal bang~ muffled sound, Thomas Pidgeon was thrown from the third floor into the courtyard by Xia De like a cannonball, hitting the surrounding wall and leaving a human-shaped indentation.
The blood-sucking species spat out a mouthful of blood and turned into blood mist, wanting to rush into the sky, but after another thunder spear pierced through the blood mist, the merchant fell from the sky amidst screams, and was then tied tightly by the chain in Xia De's hand.
Xia De walked out of the building that had almost become a ruin, holding an empty potion bottle in his right hand:
"A potion that stimulates the body's potential at the cost of lifespan, but even if you improve from the third ring to the middle-ring level, what can you do?"
The potion bottle was thrown aside by him, and then Xia De raised his head to look at the scarlet light and abnormal decaying gray mist flickering at the highest point of the castle tower:
"It seems that Mr. Bernhardt has encountered some trouble."
He didn't rush to fly directly to the high tower. Mr. Bernhardt should still be able to cope. After knocking out Thomas Pidgeon and using "Puppet Manipulation" to make him follow behind him, Xia De carried the pink miasma and bypassed to the stairs, and soon came to the second floor of the courtyard.
Mr. Albert's speed was also very fast. At this time, there were bloodstains and fallen people everywhere. The haystacks and houses on the side were on fire, and the huge claw marks on the ground almost turned the ground over.
These people were not dead either, but even if they were rescued afterwards, I'm afraid many would be disabled.
It wasn't until Xia De brought Thomas Pidgeon to the third floor of the courtyard that he finally saw Mr. Albert.
He didn't use any spells or miracles, but fought with his blood-sucking species talent. His body turned into blood mist and appeared in front of the enemy, and after one claw, he turned into mist again. While the first enemy fell, his second claw had already grabbed the second enemy.
The blood mist constantly surged through the courtyard, and he appeared in different positions repeatedly as if flashing. By the time Xia De arrived at his side with Thomas Pijin, the enemies on this level had basically been cleared out.
"Our friend seems to have encountered trouble."
The middle-aged coroner with black hair and slightly drooping eyelids said, his claws were still dripping blood, but his breath was very stable. Xia De nodded:
"It's not good to make too much noise. Let's hurry up. Three minutes to reach the top floor, don't leave anyone with a clear consciousness, no problem, right?"
Mr. Albert rarely showed a smile:
"Let's go, I think it won't take three minutes."
The claws formed by his hands collided, making a metallic clashing sound. Then he rushed forward and swung a claw, and the blood color seemed to condense into substance, smashing the tower gate that had been propped up from the inside with a heavy door bar.
Dense gunshots came from inside the building, but a layer of light screen automatically appeared in front of Mr. Albert, melting those metals directly, and then he turned into blood mist and rushed in.
"The talent of exotic species is really strong."
Xia De muttered, and finally took out the dragon scale sword that had been strengthened again. After more "dragon scale coins" were strengthened and quenched by the second "Earth Heart Furnace," this sword had now become heavier. ===== CHAPTER 2392 =====
