Chapter 219: Conspiracy in the Dark
The mysterious voice echoed in the basement, bringing with it a creepy chill.
"You intruders who don't know your own limitations actually want to uncover the secrets here." The voice was erratic, as if coming from all directions.
Shen Mo tightly grasped the artifact in his hand, and looked around vigilantly, "The guy who hides his head and shows his tail, show yourself if you dare!"
Lin Yuwei used a magic weapon to illuminate the surroundings, trying to find the source of the sound. Qingfeng protected everyone, with the sword in his hand ready to attack at any time.
"Hmph, since you are so persistent, I will let you experience true fear." As the voice fell, a strange blue flame suddenly ignited on the wall of the basement, making the entire space even more eerie and terrifying.
A black-robed figure slowly walked out of the flames, his face obscured by shadows, revealing only a pair of eyes emitting a faint light.
"Do you think this monster is the source of everything? How naive!" the man in black robe sneered.
The female general took a step forward and said, "No matter what plot you have, we will not let you succeed."
The black-robed man laughed loudly. "This town is just a small testing ground for my great plan, and you are about to become my pawns."
Su Yao said angrily, "Don't even think about it!"
The black-robed man waved his hand lightly, and a powerful force rushed towards everyone. Shen Mo raised the artifact to resist, and the artifact emitted a dazzling light, colliding with the force, making a huge roar.
“You’re quite capable, but this is just the beginning.” The man in black robe attacked again, this time with even greater force.
Seeing this, Lin Yuwei quickly chanted a spell, and the magic weapon released a shield to help Shen Mo share some of the pressure. Qingfeng took the opportunity to rush towards the black-robed man, with the sword shadow flashing.
The man in black robe dodged Qingfeng's attack by moving sideways, then swung his hand back to push Qingfeng back.
"Don't be impulsive!" Shen Mo shouted.
At this time, the monster trapped in the cage became more manic, constantly hitting the cage, as if trying to break free.
The black-robed man said proudly, "This monster is just one of the ones I awakened. There are more horrors coming."
Shen Mo frowned, "No matter what conspiracy you have, we will stop you."
The man in black robe snorted coldly, "Then give it a try." After that, he flashed and disappeared into the darkness.
Everyone fell into deep thought. They knew that the enemy they were facing was more terrifying than they had imagined.
"Let's find a way to control this monster first." said the female general.
Lin Yuwei observed the cage carefully. "There are complicated magic runes on it. It will take time to decipher them."
Just as they were about to decipher the rune, the basement suddenly began to shake violently, and rocks kept falling from above their heads.
"Oh no, this place is going to collapse!" Su Yao exclaimed.
"Get out quickly!" Shen Mo led everyone to rush towards the exit.
When they finally escaped from the basement, they found that the entire castle was shrouded in a layer of dark fog.
"There's something strange about this fog." Qingfeng said.
Shen Mo tried to use a magic weapon to disperse the fog, but the fog became thicker and thicker.
"Everyone be careful and don't get separated." Shen Mo shouted loudly.
In the fog, they vaguely heard footsteps and strange cries.
"Are there other monsters?" Su Yao's voice trembled a little.
Suddenly, a huge claw stretched out from the mist and grabbed Lin Yuwei.
Shen Mo was quick-witted and quick-handed. He pulled Lin Yuwei away and waved his magic weapon to repel the claw.
"Everyone stand back to back and defend!" shouted the female general.
They struggled to resist the unknown attack in the fog, their hearts filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
Just then, a bell sounded in the distance.
"This bell sound..." Shen Mo's heart moved.
As the bells rang, the fog seemed to slowly dissipate.
When the fog cleared, they found themselves in a strange place, surrounded by a barren field and a gloomy castle in the distance.
"Where is this?" Su Yao asked.
Shen Mo looked at the castle, "Maybe the answer is there."
After a short rest, everyone headed towards the castle. The castle gate was closed, with some strange symbols engraved on it.
Qingfeng went forward and tried to push the door open, but found that it did not move at all.
Lin Yuwei studied the symbols and said, "This may be some kind of seal."
After some effort, Lin Yuwei finally broke the seal and the door slowly opened.
A stale and decayed smell filled the air, and the castle was plunged into darkness.
They walked into the castle cautiously. It was eerily quiet inside.
Suddenly, the lights came on and a huge hall appeared before them.
At the end of the hall, there was a figure sitting...
