"There is something strange about this castle. I'll go in alone first and you guys wait for me outside." Gu Chen said as his face darkened. He had remembered the shape of each Demon Bat clearly, but just now, he felt that the Demon Bat had moved. When he looked again, the Demon Bat had changed.
"It's too dangerous to be alone. We'll enter together with you." Jiang Yunfei immediately said, his eyebrows carrying a trace of worry, since Gu Chen said there was a problem, then it must be true. Once a person steps into the mysterious ancient fortress, if an accident occurs, no one will be able to lead the Nine Hell sect cultivators.
"No need. If there's really danger, then it's too risky for the three of us to be together. If I'm alone, then you guys can stay behind and assist me if you encounter anything." Gu Chen said to the two of them.
"If that's the case, then alright, just pay attention." What Gu Chen said was not without reason. If the three of them were to meet with danger together, there might be a possibility of all of them being annihilated. If he was alone and met with danger, he and Liu Chen could support him from the outside.
"You must be careful. If there's any danger, send out the signal immediately." Liu Chen instructed.
"I understand." Gu Chen nodded at the two, then looked at the Demon Bat from the corner of his eyes. After not realizing that there was nothing abnormal with it, he stepped into the ancient doors of the castle, as though he had stepped into a space tunnel. The world that was laid in front of him was the world of tens of thousands of years ago.
"Hee hee ?" Suddenly, the sounds of a child laughing could be heard. Gu Chen's scalp went numb as he looked ahead, only to see that in the middle of the fortress, there was a big bell, and a baby dressed in red was sitting on it. The bell was shaking both of his legs, smiling at him.
This was definitely not a human, the laughter was too terrifying. Moreover, who would place their own child in a place like this?
"Evil creature!"
Gu Chen waved his hand and released a burst of star power, instantly shooting forward.
Bang!
With an explosive sound, the power of the stars landed on the great bell, and the red-clothed baby was already gone.
"It really is an evil thing."
Gu Chen's heart trembled, this ancient castle had an ominous atmosphere, it was most likely an evil place.
"Hee hee ?"
Gu Chen quickly turned around, and saw that the infant, at some unknown time, had appeared on top of an ancient oil lamp in the distance. Both of his feet stood atop the oil lamp, and gave him a strange smile.
"If it is an evil spirit that belongs to the devil race, then it should have disappeared a long time ago. I shall act on behalf of the heavens." Gu Chen said as he attacked. What he did not expect was that after the power of the stars descended, the baby disappeared again. Not long after, he appeared in another place.
Gu Chen was enraged, he wanted to see what the baby really wanted to do, so he chased after it.
Unknowingly, Gu Chen woke up to find himself in front of an ancient door. It was a black bronze door, and its surface was engraved with countless runes, along with many strange ancient beasts. The handle of the door was made from a pair of beast horns.
At this time, the baby was standing in front of the copper door. After smiling at Gu Chen strangely, he reached out his small hands and pushed on the copper door, then immediately disappeared, as if he had passed through the door.
Gu Chen was not an impulsive person, he had a very strong urge in his heart to follow them in, but after seriously considering for a while, he was not sure what was behind the bronze door, so he extended his finger, shot out a burst of star power and struck a stone pillar not far away.
Shua shua shua!
Gu Chen's finger kept drawing, and the power of the stars was like a pen, quickly drawing a line of words on the stone pillar.
"Chase down the red-clothed evildoer and enter the bronze door!"
After telling him his destination, Gu Chen's body moved and quickly rushed to the door. Without waiting for him to use any strength, the door opened by itself as though he could not wait any longer to welcome him in.
Gu Chen's body instantly submerged into the water. In the end, he was still unable to shake off the temptation of the red-clothed baby and followed along.
The moment he stepped into the gate, his eyes revealed a hint of blood-red, revealing a demonic aura.
Outside the ancient castle!
Liu Chen, Jiang Yunfei, had already waited for a full four hours, but Gu Chen did not come out, nor did they notice anything amiss.
But he did not think too much, after all, with Gu Chen's cultivation level, if he met with any trouble, he would definitely have a chance to ask for help.
"Let's wait a little longer." Liu Chen was more patient. If Gu Chen met with danger, he wouldn't even have the time to cry for help. If they went in, there would only be one outcome.
Jiang Yunfei looked at Liu Chen and understood what he meant. He could only suppress his impatience and continue to wait.
Another four hours passed, but there was still no reaction from inside the ancient fortress. From the beginning to the end, four hours, even if the fortress was three thousand meters tall, with Gu Chen's cultivation, there was no way he could finish exploring it.
"We can't wait any longer. Let's go in and take a look." Jiang Yunfei could not wait any longer and decided to go in.
"Alright." Liu Chen did not continue to persuade her. Eight hours was indeed too long, she did not know what was happening inside.
The two of them were preparing to enter the ancient fortress when they suddenly realised something, they raised their heads and looked at the ancient castle, this was incredible, only to see the Demon Bats actually struggling to come to life from the walls, in a blink of an eye becoming a 10 foot long black feathered strange bird, with an extremely sinister expression, a pair of green eyes filled with anger, as though Liu Chen and the others had offended their domain.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk ?
The Demon Bat released a sharp hissing sound, and swooped down towards Liu Chen and Yue Yang.
"Be careful!" Liu Chen shouted. These Demon Bats were once totemic Sacred Birds of the demon race, their attack power was especially strong.
"Hu hu hu hu!"
Liu Chen and Jiang Yunfei did not dare to be careless at all as they used their strongest attack. Even so, the sharp claws of the Demon Bat was still able to scratch their arms.
A hot feeling spread through their entire bodies. When the two of them looked down, their expressions changed drastically. The area where they were injured by the Demon Bat had gradually turned black, corroding the surrounding skin.
"The Demon Bat's body is poisonous, so I can feel that it's sealing my meridians." Liu Chen said as he took out a pill and swallowed it.
What a vicious attack." Jiang Yunfei sucked in a breath of cold air. He immediately took out a medicinal pill and consumed it. The medicinal pill's power exploded in his body and turned into a pure medicinal effect, slowly healing the wounds caused by the Demon Bat, forcing a large amount of black liquid out.
Looking around, there were roughly a hundred Demon Bats struggling to come out of the castle.
"If the two of us can't stop them, we can only leave." Liu Chen made a prompt decision.
"I can't leave Gu Chen alone inside. If we leave, Gu Chen will definitely encounter these Demon Bats." Jiang Yunfei frowned. He was the leader and the number one genius of the Holy City of Nine Serenities, as well as their big brother, so he was the equivalent of their big brother. It was impossible for Jiang Yunfei to abandon him that easily.
The geniuses of the Sacred City were mostly rampant, and Jiang Yunfei was no exception. However, in terms of mental skills, he was much more talented than Shen Gonghao.
As long as Gu Chen stays inside, nothing will happen to him. We didn't abandon him and leave first, waiting for them to meet up with him before coming back to save him. "" Is that so. Liu Chen said calmly.
Jiang Yunfei remained silent.
"Hurry up, we don't have much time left. Those Demon Bats all struggled out, it's already too late for us to leave." Liu Chen looked at the castle above, and quickly replied.
"Alright!" Jiang Yunfei finally nodded and agreed, then began to break through the encirclement with Liu Chen.
