Eternal Night

Chapter 122 Entering and Finding

Wu Xianxiao didn't even answer, because he only had one answer.

Seeing Wu Xianxiao like this, the skull continued, "Since you have decided to enter the tomb area, there are a few things you need to pay attention to. The first is that the tomb area is divided into three layers, namely the shallow layer, the middle layer, and the lower layer. The degree of horror increases in order, and the deeper the layer, the scarier it is."

"Every time you enter the graveyard, your Chaos pollution and the number of times you have entered will determine whether you are in the shallow, middle, or lower levels. Your karma, attributes, mental state, and what you seek will also determine the hall you arrive at. There are no connecting passages between the halls."

"Once you enter the graveyard, you must pass the test in that hall. It doesn't matter if you are smart or have a temperament, or if you face a battle head-on. As long as you can pass that hall, you will gain a huge reward, whether it is power, fantasy items, or secret information from the past, knowledge, intelligence that can change the entire world, etc. At the same time, the exit will appear."

"Don't ever try to leave the graveyard without passing the test. There are some magic rituals, special bloodlines, or rare supernatural powers that can break through the maze of the graveyard and return directly to the living world. However, this will only anger the will of the Demon City and cause you to be dragged into the demon world. Remember, remember!"

At this time, everyone had arrived at the junction of the sewer and the cemetery area.

The sewer is a layer of original rock structure. Rather than calling it a sewer area, it would be more appropriate to call it an underground rock passage area. The monsters in it are mostly underground giant insects, skeletons, and bat monsters. However, with a skull accompanying them, all the monsters along the way are fleeing.

Moreover, this skull knew the geography of Castlevania much better than Charlotte and Mary, and he reached the cemetery area almost without any hindrance.

The entrance to the tomb area is a huge gap that appears directly on the ground. On both sides of the gap are skulls of various creatures, including humans, monsters, and mythical creatures. Thick fog pours out of the gap, but it dissipates immediately once it leaves the gap, preventing people from seeing the scene inside the gap.

"This is the graveyard area. Once you step in, you must be prepared to never return." The skull said with lingering fear as he looked at the entrance to the graveyard area.

Wu Xianxiao looked at the huge gap and asked the skull, "How can I find the hall I want to go to? Instead of being led by other halls?"

The skull thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. I've only been into a few shallow halls and almost didn't come back. If you must give me a solution... a strong will in my heart?"

Wu Xianxiao was silent for a while, then nodded heavily, and then he said to Charlotte and Mary: "You should not go in, otherwise if there are too many people, I am afraid you will be pulled into some other hall. Besides, you two are from the Holy See, I am afraid you will be pulled into the so-called Hall of Light."

Charlotte and Mary's expressions changed, but they couldn't say anything else at this time.

Wu Xianxiao said to the skull, "My future is uncertain, so it's unrealistic to threaten you with my life. How about this, I'll hire you for once... I've met Hao Cheng, who established the safe zone, once. I'll hire you to escort the two of them to the library safe zone. One thousand dollars, is that okay?"

The skull was slightly stunned, but was overjoyed in his heart.

It was afraid that Wu Xianxiao would kill it right now. Since it survived, it was very lucky. It nodded and said, "Okay, I will escort them back to the safe area of ​​the library."

Wu Xianxiao nodded silently, then stood at the entrance of the cemetery and turned to look at the two people and the skull. He laughed, clasped his fists and said to them, "The mountains remain unchanged, and the rivers flow forever. If I am not dead, we will meet again in the future. There is no need to act like a child. I am leaving now."

After saying that, without waiting for their reaction, he turned around and rushed into the cemetery.

As soon as he entered, Wu Xianxiao immediately felt a kind of mental haziness. Everything he saw before his eyes was chaotic and unclear.

At this moment, the sleepless spiritual light in his sea of ​​consciousness shone brightly, and Wu Xianxiao felt several dim pulling forces coming.

It was called traction, but it was more like some kind of information delivery directly into his brain. One was full of light, one was blood-red tyranny, one was the martial arts will with strict rules, and the other was gray and full of death.

These feelings were the most obvious. Apart from these, there seemed to be dozens or hundreds of pulling forces. Wu Xianxiao sensed something in the gray aura of death. Then he gathered all his strength, and with the pulling of the sleepless spiritual light, he rushed straight towards the aura of death.

It sounds complicated, but all these senses were fleeting. When Wu Xianxiao came to his senses, he saw a narrow passage in front of him. Both sides of the passage were filled with various coffins and dry bones. The whole passage was gloomy and dark, with only torches that appeared every ten meters or so providing faint light.

But the torch actually emitted a green light, making everything seem even more eerie and terrifying.

Wu Xianxiao looked behind him and saw that there was a wall behind him, and this passage only led forward.

He did not hesitate and walked towards the front of the passage, using his blood and energy to heal his injuries as he walked.

He was actually seriously injured in the battle just now.

One was the battle with the bronze minotaur. The minotaur was actually very powerful. He had damaged his meridians and internal organs in several fights. In particular, he was hit directly by a slap, which almost broke half of his body bones. Even though he used Dan Jin to resist, many bones on his body were damaged and cracked, and his internal organs were also injured. As for the battle with the life robot, although he was hit by the explosion, the power of the explosion was not as strong as imagined. First, the power of technological weapons was greatly reduced. Even for strange things like life mechas, the explosive power was far less than it looked. Second, its power was diffuse. Wu Xianxiao was wrapped in Dan Jin, but his skin looked burnt, but the damage to him was not as strong as the bronze minotaur's slap.

Wu Xianxiao estimated the damage he had suffered and found it to be somewhere between light and severe, but far from the level that would make him lose his combat effectiveness.

Along the way, he has been mobilizing his Qi and blood to quickly heal himself, especially his internal organs and cracked bones. Although it is still early to heal, at least it does not affect his ability to continue fighting.

Walking out of this passage, there are several wider passages extending in all directions. Each passage is filled with coffins and skeletons. The sizes of these coffins are getting stranger and stranger. Some are only the size of a palm, while others are twenty to thirty meters long. In addition to the coffins, there are also various kinds of skeletons that are becoming more and more terrifying.

Most of these skeletons are placed randomly, but some are sitting on stone chairs. Their shapes are different. Basically, they are human-like, but with a pair of wings on their backs, or their feet are hooves, their heads are cows, sheep, and horses, or their hands are limbs, etc.

The further we went, the stranger the skeletons looked.

Wu Xianxiao walked forward for a distance, then he stood at a crossroads and closed his eyes silently. The sleepless light in his mind was burning brightly, and the sensing state of his heart was amplified to the limit.

Everything around him seemed to be reflected in his mind. He "saw" headless knights patrolling in the tomb, and skeletons trembling, as if they wanted to stand up from the coffin or chair, but an inexplicable force suppressed them, turning them into completely dead bones, and then...

Wu Xianxiao opened his eyes suddenly, rushed towards a passage with a big knife in hand, and then he met a headless knight who was patrolling.

When Wu Xianxiao rushed over, the headless knight immediately drew his greatsword from his waist, but Wu Xianxiao's speed was astonishingly fast. Before his greatsword was completely drawn out, Wu Xianxiao had already rushed in front of him. Then a white blade light flashed like a full moon, and in a flash, Wu Xianxiao had already passed over his body and continued to sprint forward.

The headless knight stood there for a moment, and then his body and sword shattered at the same time. There was nothing in the armor, only the armor and the sword slowly crumbled into ashes.

With the death of this headless knight, at least ten headless knights in the surrounding area rushed out from various passages and corners as if they had received some instructions, and headed towards where Wu Xianxiao was.

But Wu Xianxiao didn't care at all and just rushed forward. All the enemies that blocked his way were smashed to pieces with one sword, and then he just jumped over them without even stopping.

Just like that, he rushed through several passages and broke into a slightly narrow path. As soon as he entered, he immediately saw two women, one big and one small, tied to the wall of the passage with chains.

The chain seemed to be a living thing. It pierced through the two women's wrists and feet, then penetrated their collarbones, and then drew blood from their bodies in streams. However, the speed of drawing blood was not very fast. Under the two women, one big and one small, stone chairs were faintly visible from the wall. The two chairs had slightly protruded from the wall, and the blood absorbed by the chain poured into the chairs.

Obviously, when the flesh and blood of the two women were completely drained, the seats under them would take shape, and then the two of them would turn into skeletons and sit on the seats together.

There was calmness in Wu Xianxiao's eyes, but beneath this calmness there was a surging torrent.

In just a moment, Wu Xianxiao jumped into the air, and then the big knife in his hand flashed, and all the chains on the two women were cut off, and then the two women fell to the ground.

Wu Xianxiao hugged Jiujiu with both hands, and at the same time, he kicked Daphne, who had also fallen, and put her on the ground.

Perhaps it was because their blood had been drawn not long ago, or perhaps it was because the pain from the broken chains woke them up. Jiujiu slowly opened his eyes and saw Wu Xianxiao's calm eyes.

"Wu Xianxiao... Wu Xianxiao, am I going to die? Is this a dream? I'm so scared, so horrible, this place is so scary..."

Jiujiu blinked her eyes, big tears rolling down her cheeks, and she murmured weakly.

Wu Xianxiao nodded silently. Seeing Jiujiu about to close his eyes and faint again, he whispered, "Well, I know... I know everything, but don't be afraid..."

"I am coming."

Wu Xianxiao gently put down Jiujiu, then turned and looked towards the entrance of the passage.

Nearly ten headless knights stood at the entrance, each with their swords drawn.

Looking forward to it.
