Chapter 196: Exploring the Ancient Castle
Chapter 196: Exploring the Ancient Castle
Shen Mo and the others followed the eerie path towards the ancient castle deep in the forest. The trees on both sides of the road looked like monsters with bared fangs and claws, and the eerie wind whistled past, making the leaves rustle.
"Everyone be careful, there is an evil spirit in this place." Shen Mo said in a low voice.
Lin Yuwei followed closely behind him, the magic weapon in her hand emitting a faint light, lighting the way for them. Qingfeng was watching the surroundings vigilantly to prevent any unexpected situation.
Finally, the ancient castle appeared before them. The walls of the castle were covered with vines, the gate was closed, and a strange light occasionally flashed in the window above.
Shen Mo walked forward and pushed the door hard, but it didn't move at all.
"It seems we have to find another entrance." Qingfeng said.
They walked around the castle and finally found a broken window on one side.
Shen Mo climbed in first, and the others followed. The interior of the castle was filled with a decayed atmosphere, and the torches on the walls flickered dimly.
"Search separately to see if there is any trace of the old man." Shen Mo said.
They carefully explored the castle. Lin Yuwei walked into a room filled with all kinds of strange experimental instruments and bottles and jars.
"What is this place?" she wondered to herself.
Suddenly, a dark shadow passed behind her.
"Who?" she turned and called out, but there was no response.
On the other side, Qingfeng heard faint footsteps in the corridor. He followed the sound but came to a dead end.
"Strange, why did the sound disappear?"
Shen Mo found a huge portrait in a hall. The person in the portrait had sinister eyes, as if staring at him.
At this moment, a sinister laugh echoed in the castle.
"You are finally here."
Shen Mo and others quickly gathered together and looked around vigilantly.
"Come out! Don't hide!" Shen Mo shouted loudly.
A man in a black cloak slowly walked out of the shadows.
"Do you think you can rescue that person easily?"
"What did you do to the old man?" Su Yao asked anxiously.
The man in black sneered: "He is in this castle, but whether you can find him depends on your ability."
After saying this, the man in black disappeared.
"Damn it!" Qingfeng cursed.
Shen Mo said calmly: "Don't panic, let's keep looking."
They continued to search the castle, opening doors and walking through corridors.
In a basement, they found some strange symbols and magic circles.
"This looks like some kind of evil ritual." Lin Yuwei said.
As they were studying the symbols, the ground suddenly began to shake and cracks appeared on the surrounding walls.
"Oh no, this place is going to collapse!" Su Yao exclaimed.
They ran out in a hurry, and in the chaos, Shen Mo got separated from the others.
Shen Mo was groping in the dark alone, his heart full of worry. Suddenly, he heard a faint cry for help.
"It's the old man's voice!"
He ran in the direction of the sound and came to a room where the old man was tied to a chair and surrounded by traps.
Shen Mo carefully avoided the trap, walked to the old man and untied his rope.
"Hurry up!" Shen Mo helped the old man up.
Just as they were about to leave, the door suddenly closed and a group of men in black appeared at the door.
"You can't get away this time."
Shen Mo protected the old man behind him and raised the magic weapon: "Then give it a try!"
A fierce battle is about to begin...
