Chapter 62: Liu Lixian found two yellow paintings
At the same time, at the other end of the chaotic sea of clouds, a team of trialists were walking quietly in the clouds and mists, and the crisp impact of their footsteps and the stone floor echoed in a gray haze, as if they were in a closed and depressed palace.
"Wang Lu, do you feel that the air here is a little depressed?"
In the silence, Aya suddenly spoke.
"The air is a little depressed?" Wang Lu frowned and sniffed, "Are you trying to say that in the treasure house of the dictator of the Golden King, the dictator, lacking the breath of democracy and freedom?"
"I don't know what you are talking about..." Aya sighed, "I mean, in this place, it seems that the power of professionals will be suppressed, and it comes from the suppression of the root law, and there is no way to resist it."
Wang Lu said in surprise: "There is something that happened? I didn't notice it at all."
Wuxianggong is not known for his keenness, but his ethereal roots are the keenest physique in the world. Although he has to undergo the transformation of laws in the Western Yi Continent, he is not in a place where laws are suppressed without knowing it.
"Is the suppression serious?" Wang Lu asked.
"Fortunately, here, it seems that our power level is suppressing the high-level intermediate level, that is, the Nascent Soul." Aya said, "Fortunately, I am in poor condition now and I am not affected much. What about you?"
"...Aren't you asking knowingly?" Wang Lu was silent for a while and sighed: "Although I am indeed not even a golden elixir, if you say this, you will always feel a complicated feeling of being a well-known writer but being stuffed with a child's ticket."
"Anyway, this place does not seem to be intended to give us too strong personal strength, but it is really hard for me to explore and advance in a sea of clouds that make the Golden King feel difficult." Aya frowned, puzzled: "And what is the meaning of this limitation?"
Wang Lu said: "At present, the greatest significance is to play a role in protecting a novice, because this restriction is very beneficial to our weak team, and it is absolutely unfavorable to the Holy Light Cult - I think it is true that in order to deal with us, they must have assembled the most powerful team. I'm afraid there is more than one legend, but unfortunately they are all ruined now."
Aya asked: "Do you think this is something that is intentional? For example..."
Wang Lu hesitated: "From the result, it is indeed very similar to the Golden King taking care of us on purpose. After all, if we win, it will be more beneficial to him. But this thinking mode is hard to imagine that it will be the Golden King's thinking mode. With his personality, he may not even bother to suppress one party and raise the other party. If we want to win the championship and win the qualification of an administrator, we must use our own strength to prove our qualifications within the established rules framework. Moreover, in my impression, although the Golden King is cruel and unkind, he has never been a nepotist evaluation - he does not recognize his relatives at all."
Aya sighed: "That's true. I don't think that pride is as good as the Golden King, and that he will use such a method of losing the price."
"Forget it, leave it to the things you can't figure out before thinking about them. It's a long way, and there will always be times when the truth is revealed."
While the two were talking softly, Bai Shixuan's voice suddenly came from the front: "Senior Brother, Aya, please come and have a look."
Wang Lu and Aya looked at each other and walked quickly to the head of the team. Bai Shixuan stopped with confusion, and beside her, the dog-chess, who was the pioneer of the way to explore, was shaking her fur uneasyly, looking straight ahead, and a gurgling sound came from her throat.
And in front, a huge castle faintly shone in the thick haze.
"This is... a castle?" Aya was very surprised. "How could there be a castle here? Mountain Jiazet is located on the edge of the wasteland. It is a place where humans have not survived for tens of thousands of years on the Western Yi Continent. How could this mark of human civilization appear? Could it be the legacy left by the Golden King? While he was traveling through the sea of clouds, he built a castle as a bedroom?"
Aya's speculation was quite in line with the luxury temperament of the Golden King, but this speculation was soon denied by her personally.
"No, although this castle is huge, its style is too simple. If it were the King of Gold, it would not have been built so roughly. He either did not build it, and would have been dazzling if he wanted to create it. Moreover, this castle... always gives people an unfathomable feeling. Its history seems to be very long and older than any era we know."
As Aya said, her attention was gradually attracted by the castle. The castle hidden in the haze was like an observer who had experienced billions of years of vicissitudes, staring at everything around her indifferently. Her cold figure was chilling, but it contained irresistible mysterious charm.
Bai Shixuan: "Senior brother, do you want to go over and take a look?"
"Of course I have to go over, and I can't ignore it. After walking for so long, this castle is the only clue."
Previously, the group entered the fourth level from the stone gate and was immediately swallowed by thick clouds and fog, and instantly lost all their vision. Not to mention the Jiajiazete Mountain, which was once clearly distinguished, standing on the other end of the sea of clouds... Wang Lu lowered his head and could not even see his feet.
This isolation from perception not only comes from the physical level. The chaotic sea of clouds contains very special power, which seriously restricts the perception of the trialists. Without perception, there is no other reference in the sea of clouds. In addition, the chaos in the space here makes it impossible to locate it. In Wang Lu's view, this is like an invisible barrier, restricting them to only go to the prescribed places.
So when the castle appeared, Wang Lu immediately made a judgment and had to enter the castle, because if he missed such an obvious clue, he would probably be lost in the sea of clouds forever.
After Wang Lu led everyone to the castle, the gate of the castle slowly opened, revealing a faint light, as if the castle was expressing its welcome indifferently.
In the direction of light, the group carefully entered the castle. When Aya, who was walking at the end, also stepped into the gate, the thick and huge castle gate closed and then disappeared into a thick fog that suddenly appeared.
Aya turned around and came out her sword alertly. The sword in the stone that was more than three feet long swept back, but swung a blankly. The sharp sword energy tore through the clouds and mist, causing a roll of hundreds of meters long. There was no trace of the ancient castle gate at all.
"The door is gone"
Wang Lu was not surprised by this: "It means let's keep moving forward, don't look back... OK, then let's see what's in this castle."
After one hour.
"Senior brother, I have also explored the second floor. It is similar to the structure on the first floor. It is a long corridor with ten rooms on each side. Each room leads to a completely different plane, which contains very rich resources."
Bai Shixuan made a report softly, and she was holding a few crystals in her hand that could record images and sounds.
"This is the video record of Liuli and I exploring separately. Please review it with my senior brother."
Wang Lu waved his hand: "No need to read it. Since the structure is similar to the first floor, the contents are probably similar. There are eighty rooms on two floors, leading to eighty different places. Each independent plane is rich in one or two resources. This castle is like a warehouse and a transit station. Let us be prepared sufficiently before embarking on the real journey."
Wang Lu said, looking at a tightly closed door not far away, then his brows gradually frowned, and his eyes became sharper.
"Be ready to break through the cloud blockade outside the door."
After that gate was an absolutely blocked cloud. It was not difficult to open the gate. Although it was thick and solid and could not be destroyed with brute force, it could be pushed open as long as it was a little force in the correct position. However, after pushing it open, there was a thick cloud of five fingers outside the door. Walking into it was like walking into a different dimension space. No matter how hard it was, it could not escape from the three feet in front of the door. Wang Lu asked everyone in the team to try it. After walking out of the door, he was like a demon. No matter how hard he tried, he could still stand still. The laws of space seemed to be imprisoned to death.
In addition to this gate, although the eighty rooms inside the castle lead to different areas, each one is a dead end and is not the direction you should go forward next.
So the situation temporarily fell into a deadlock.
"Please sort out your ideas Wang Lu."
After exploring a room on the first floor, Aya returned to the first floor hall exhausted.
"Now we seem to be trapped."
There are only two doors leading to the outside world of the castle. One is the entrance, which disappeared into the sea of clouds after Wang Lu and others entered, and the other is the difficulty that needs to be broken through in front of them. Both seem to be dead ends.
Wang Lu said: "According to the current situation, the meaning of this level is that we should find something in these eighty rooms to continue moving forward. I had just found something like sesame in the crop room, but it seemed to be completely useless."
Aya couldn't understand Wang Lu's persistence with Sesame at all, so she had to say, "Do you want to take a part of the resources and materials of the eighty rooms and try it one by one?"
"The most inefficient and stupid way, but if there are no other clues, I can only try this first."
As a professional adventurer, Wang Lu has always hated inefficient strategy methods, but he will not force them when there is no other way. After all, even the stupidest method is better than hesitation.
However, just as Wang Lu was about to mobilize the masses to collect resources, Liulixian's cheerful laughter suddenly came from above his head: "Haha, senior brother, I found two paintings."
Two paintings? Wang Lu was curious immediately. He snatched his feet and flew up, following the direction of Liulixian's voice and flew towards the sky.
The fourth level is everywhere. Even if it is far away, it will be covered by clouds. Although the castle only has two floors, the space on each floor is very wide. Wang Lu flew hundreds of meters straight before seeing the ceiling of the first floor and the glitter fairy with a look of excitement.
"Senior brother, look at it, there are two paintings here that are so beautiful."
Wang Lu looked along the direction of Liuli's finger, and his eyes suddenly condensed.
