Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 208 Sand Castle
After being stopped, the two looked into the distance, but the other party just shook his head calmly, signaling them to stay calm.

"What the Starfish Tribe said is indeed illogical, and there are more than one loophole in their words."

"Lord Jinsha can trade for pain, but there is no way to trade and leave this place."

"There may be other reasons for this, so we must go to the Sand Castle and look for the Broken Core to get more truth."

"But the life and death of Lord Jinsha is linked to these starfish tribes, so if conditions permit, we should try to control them first."

“We also need to be prepared for pitfalls.”

Yuanfang first filled in the logical loopholes in Shajiao's words, and then confirmed the purpose and purpose of this action with everyone.

Finally, under his leadership, the player team set out again and headed in the direction previously indicated by the sand reef.

After listening to the players' analysis, Roger felt a little emotional for a moment.

It has to be said that these players think very quickly. When he just felt something was wrong, Yuanfang and Tianji had already found the loophole.

He was able to carry out comprehensive planning only by relying on the power of the spirit candle and the information gap. Under the same conditions, he was probably only slightly better than Li Miao and others.

Of course, this does not mean that he is bad, but that there are many talented players among the players, just like the two top players, Yuanfang and Tianji.

This made Roger feel once again that his original choice was correct.

"Although there are many loopholes in Shajiao's words, the probability that he is lying is not high. It is more likely that his body has been affected and he has become what he is now... "

"Then why didn't Lord Jinsha make a deal with Pain to find a way to leave this place? Providing energy out of nothing... I'm afraid it would be more difficult than crossing the area..."

As Rogge moved forward, he sorted out and analyzed the information he had obtained.

At the same time, he also updated the tasks sent to everyone.

[Special mission updated: Go to the Sand Castle. ]

During their voyage, they did not encounter any monster attacks.

It seems that Lord Jinsha may no longer have any subordinates to send.

However, the group found two more rocky islands along the way.

One of them was similar to the island they had first encountered, with tentacle wolfhounds breeding.

The scene on another island is a little weird.

It is a rice field with a statue of pain at its center. Black rice is planted around the statue, and the statue of pain exudes black and red power of pain, as if providing nutrition for the rice.

Rogge picked some of them and prepared to take them back to study.

The player fleet continued to move forward, and the dark border was already within reach.

And the more conspicuous huge sand castle also appeared in front of everyone.

The sand castle is indeed as the name suggests, made of sand, which seems to be mixed with some mucus to form a structure, with coral blocks and kelp intertwined.

It is large in scale and looks like a manor, with high walls around it and many sea urchin spines placed on them, giving it a unique style.

However, both the corals and kelp have decayed and withered, and the sand that should have been golden and bright has also been eroded and appears dull and lifeless.

"Roar!"

Bang!
In front of the sand castle, two bloated humanoid monsters just roared and were easily beaten to death by Mangzi Ge and Bulong from the left and right.

"There are a few broken ships over there." Tianji pointed to his discovery and said to everyone: "It is very likely that they are the people that the leader of the Starfish Clan mentioned who came to find Lord Jinsha."

When everyone looked, they saw several broken boats lying there quietly, looking like they had been abandoned there at random.

"Could it be the firewood collector? Or Leti?" Wangdao touched his chin.

No one present could answer this question. After all, there was too little information and just a few broken ships could not explain anything.

Everyone turned their attention to the sand castle gate in front of them.

The Black Mountain Demon walked forward, took a look at the tightly closed heavy door and the sea urchin thorns above, and frowned slightly.

I tried to attack but it had little effect. I tried to climb over the wall but was poisoned by the sea urchin spines. I was very depressed.

He could only shake his head at everyone.

"No way, I can't get in."

"The key should be nearby. I'll go look for it." Li Miao said as he prepared to leave.

There was nothing wrong with going ashore, so I decided to follow right after him.

But at this time, Brother Mangzi frowned.

"What are you looking for the key for? It's so troublesome. It's obviously because you didn't use enough strength. Let me do it!"

Brother Mangzi raised his brows, pushed away the Black Mountain Demon, and spat twice on his hands.

"Bah ah."

The next moment, he raised the sledgehammer, his muscles moved rhythmically, he roared, and the flames of war burned fiercely.

Seeing this, Li Miao and Shangan looked at each other, shrugged, and did nothing for the time being.

However, they didn't actually have much hope for Brother Mangzi, after all, the wall was really high and thick.

Niu Niu didn't feel disgusted at all and was searching for keys and other things among the corpses of the two bloated monsters.

"Ouch——"

The next moment, a faint wolf howl came from Brother Mangzi, and blood surrounded him.

Brother Wolf's [Crazy Blood] burns blood, increases attack power and gains a small life-draining effect!
hum-

This is not over yet. As the fighting skills were activated again, a layer of gold suddenly covered Brother Mangzi's body, and the muscles in his legs swelled again.

The [Rampage] of Taurus Guardian increases the body's toughness and impact force!
Immediately afterwards, white gas rose above the sledgehammer!

Li Miao didn't recognize this fighting skill. It should have been found by Brother Mangzi in the battlefield between the two tribes or in a previous copy.

However, according to Brother Mangzi's habit, it should be a charging combat skill to increase attack power.

Seeing this, the Black Mountain Little Demon shook his head: "It's not that easy to beat..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

With a "bang", Brother Mangzi's body shot towards the wall next to him like a golden cannonball.

thump—

With a loud bang, the wall collapsed due to the huge force, and dust rose up everywhere.

"What the hell?" "Huh?" "Is this even possible?"

Everyone's jaw dropped in disbelief.

They thought that Brother Mangzi would act like a clown again, but they didn't expect him to show his power and break the wall directly.

Li Miao and Shangan were also stunned and looked at each other.

They really underestimated Brother Mangzi.

High-end walls often only require the simplest way to pass through...

"Come in quickly, the wall will be repaired soon." Brother Mangzi urged subconsciously.

"Don't worry, Brother Mangzi. This copy is different. The items won't be repaired."

Everyone found it a little funny.

It seems that Mangzi brother usually does this when he goes to dungeons...

After breaking through the gate and high walls, everyone successfully entered the sand castle and saw the main building in the center, the sand castle.

But the castle remained closed.

"Shall I continue?"

Brother Mangzi looked at everyone inquiringly, as if he was addicted to destroying buildings.

But before the people in the distance could respond, a trembling voice suddenly came from the balcony at the top of the sand castle.

A starfish tribe member dressed in tattered noble clothes and with a painful expression looked at the people below with hatred.

Obviously, he is Lord Jinsha.

"An outsider...another outsider..."

"What on earth do you want to do? Why, why do you want to disturb me!"

"The Great Master of Pain never deigns to...ah...deceive."

Lord Jinsha seemed to be suppressing unspeakable pain. Every time he spoke a word, his muscles would tremble uncontrollably, and when he was excited, he would scream out in pain uncontrollably.

But the hatred and loathing in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

"As long as a little more time passes... give me a little more time... I can have my beloved, my child, back in my arms..."

"Then... we will be able to go find a new home... and no longer have to endure pain..." "There's no need for you to meddle in our affairs!!!"

Lord Jinsha had an intoxicated look in his eyes, as if he was immersed in his own fantasy, but it was not difficult to see that there seemed to be some mental problems with him.

All right.

Originally, a group of players were still thinking about the loopholes in the previous conversation on the sand reef.

And now, after listening to Lord Jinsha's words, it is not difficult to realize that Lord Jinsha did not leave this place on purpose.

For his wife and children.

I'm afraid Shajiao was also influenced by him.

The players looked at each other, discussed quietly, and then made a decision.

"You are Lord Jinsha, right?" Li Miao came to the entrance of the sand castle, took a breath and said loudly: "Do you know where the Broken Core is?"

"If you can hand over the Broken Core, we may be able to get along peacefully and it won't affect your plan."

Li Miao naturally represents the players' opinions.

Their only purpose in coming here is to obtain the Broken Core, everything else is secondary.

It is impossible that they would take the miserable plight of the starfish tribe as their main purpose and seek ways to free them. It can only be said that it is done as a side job.

"The Broken...Core?"

Lord Jinsha was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and reached out to grab his arms tightly, enduring wave after wave of pain.

He suddenly banged his head hard on the balcony until it was bleeding, forcing himself to sober up a little.

But the opposite happened. Faced with the players' demands, he roared angrily.

"No...no Broken Core!"

"roll!!!"

"Otherwise I will kill all of you! Exchange your bodies and pain with the Great Master of Pain!"

Lord Jinsha roared madly, and a black torrent gushed out from his chest and rushed towards Li Miao.

Li Miao's pupils shrank and he dodged subconsciously, thus avoiding the attack.

But Sands Royal had disappeared into the balcony.

This NPC is crazy.

This idea suddenly popped up in the players' minds.

Rogge withdrew his gaze.

His sense of the Broken Core became stronger and stronger, especially when he arrived in front of the sand castle. The Broken Core was clearly inside the sand castle...

It is indeed possible that Lord Jinsha does not understand the Broken Core.

But... no matter what, Rogge is determined to get the Broken Core!

Thinking of this, his face remained calm and he directly updated the tasks to the players.

[Special mission updated: Seize the Broken Core in the Sand Castle. ]

Although this message was not stated explicitly.

But after seeing it, players knew without hesitation that the Broken Core was in the Sand Castle.

"Far away, how do you say that?"

Everyone looked into the distance.

"Group action, channel communication."

Yuanfang quickly assigned some personnel and then looked at Brother Mangzi.

"Come on."

"Okay!" Brother Mangzi smiled when he heard that.

After a moment, the sand castle shook violently and a large hole collapsed in the wall.

Everyone filed in and went straight into the hall.

Faced with the many forks in the sand castle hall, everyone did not hesitate and directly acted in groups according to the instructions from afar. The main force was naturally to search upwards for the trace of Lord Golden Sands.

Rogge's partner is still Li Miao.

The two quickly reached the second floor of the sand castle through the stairs.

But the scene on the second floor made Rogge frown.

I saw rows of bathtub-shaped stone objects filled with corpses of different shapes and appearances. They all had defects, died miserably, and emitted a strong stench.

On the wall, there was a statue of a starfish with a nailed heart and head and a painful look on its face.

Apparently, Lord Sands was trying to make a sacrifice to the so-called "Master of Pain", but he probably didn't know what that being looked like.

Although it was bloody, the two did not encounter any monsters after searching every room and corner. They only found some relics covered in blood and traces of wiping.

These are obviously the belongings of Lord Jinsha’s wife and children.

He wanted to wipe it clean, but the blood on his hands made it even dirtier.

If we explore carefully, we may be able to find the cause of death of Lord Jinsha’s wife and children.

But Roger didn't have the time for that.

"go!"

Seeing that there was no trace of Lord Jinsha, Rogge directly signaled Li Miao to continue moving upwards.

……

Outside the sand castle, he came ashore and murmured for a while, then his body turned into starlight, and when he reappeared, he had arrived on the roof outside the sand castle.

After searching in vain, he was about to leave when he heard a faint knocking sound.

"Where does the knocking sound come from?"

He was a little surprised when he got ashore. After listening carefully, he confirmed the direction. It seemed to be in a small house outside the sand castle.

He quickly told others about his discovery.

My son failed the exam, so I went ashore: "@In the distance, there is a knocking sound in the room outside the sand castle. Should I go and check it out?"

Poetry and Distance: "Sure, go quickly and come back quickly. Send a message if there is any situation."

After receiving recognition from afar, Shangan once again activated Miteros's displacement and headed towards the source of the sound.

……

The players ran all the way, and there were no monsters blocking the way, only some scenes that looked quite terrifying.

They quickly reached the spiral staircase leading to the top floor of the sand castle, but stopped halfway.

Most of the stairs in front were destroyed, and there was a long distance between them and the top floor, where the black and red power of pain still remained.

Lord Jinsha was guarding the stairs at this time, staring at them like a wild beast guarding his territory.

"You! Never! Think of coming up!!!"

"boom--"

As he spoke, another torrent of pain gushed out of his chest and attacked everyone.

However, the farther the distance, the smaller the power. When it came to Li Miao, who was in the lead, the painful impact dissipated by itself.

Lord Jinsha did not let monsters block the way, nor did he set up any fancy illusions or traps. He just used such a funny method to stop them.

Somehow, this scene was inexplicably funny.

"..."

Everyone was a little silent.

"Pfft!" Niu Niu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Mangzi looked at the staircase that was completely empty and frowned, "How are we going to get up here? We can't fly."

Fortunately, someone spoke from a distance at this time, so he didn't have time to waste any more time and started to command everyone directly.

"Attack the surrounding walls, one high and one low, and knock down the top layer."

After hearing what Mang Zi Ge and the others said, they suddenly realized.

If the Sands could destroy the stairs, they would destroy the walls.

Since the other party doesn't let them go up, why not just let him come down?
