Chapter 263

The Holy Light is unskilled, and the Shadow is useless, because what is lacking now is not combat power. Ethan is worried that in this environment for a long time, everyone's physical condition will become worse and worse.

What he was worried about was not the few on his own ship, but the other adventurers, especially the ordinary crew members. Most people do not have a full set of magic stone equipment like their captains. Occasionally, a few who have magic stone equipment are already the main battle force, and most of the crew use ordinary equipment.

Ordinary equipment has no energy barrier, and they can't stop the energy from eroding their body at all.

As time passed, the effects gradually appeared, and a few adventurers who had suffered minor injuries before, and who just ignored them after simple treatment, developed various symptoms.

The complexion is blue, the body has accumulated a lot of negative energy, and the eyes are sluggish and the response is slow. Many people also have symptoms such as fatigue and chills. A few people have become very violent, and they will explode with a little stimulation, and even wave their weapons in their hands. Attack your comrade.

"It's getting worse and worse."

Brent's face also became worse and worse. He is now faced with a choice, which is to continue to strengthen his beliefs and move towards the depths.

Let’s stop there, go back to the beach before the situation gets worst, and take everyone out of this area. That way, those with various symptoms may still be cured.

Brent struggled for a while, and finally chose to give up.

"I brought everyone here, not to watch them die." Brent slashed the big sword in his hand on a stone next to him, and gritted his teeth: "Let's go back!"

No one objected, and many people secretly let out a sigh of relief, this land is really weird. First, the crazy attacks of boundless terrifying creatures, followed by a thick mist with a strange smell, and then even the companions became more and more strange, so the ghost knows what will happen.

They were very happy to hear that they could leave, but when they turned around and walked towards the sea for a while, what appeared in front of them was not the familiar sea surface and the big boat they were on when they came. It was a cliff that seemed to appear out of thin air in front of everyone.

"This is impossible!"

Fazio is the person in this team who is responsible for recording the direction and determining the location. He has a whole team of adventurers to help him record the road he traveled when he came, and ensure that they can go back the same way when necessary.

He led the crowd back according to the previous records and markers, but was blocked by a cliff. He couldn't believe this situation.

One person can make mistakes, but it's impossible for the whole team to make mistakes, right?

"What the hell is wrong!"

Fazio repeatedly compared the records in his hand, and kept wandering around to compare, but no matter how he checked, the various records left before told him that he should move forward.

"Maybe it wasn't that we made a mistake, but after we walked over, this cliff appeared blocking us."

Ethan has been observing carefully, and after discovering the few inconspicuous footprints on the mountain wall, he confirmed his guess.

"Look there, it should be left when we came."

The fog has dissipated a lot than before, and everyone's sight has recovered, at least they can see a little further away. Following the direction that Ethan pointed, everyone saw the footprints on this 90-degree vertical mountain wall.

"This……"

Brent touched the mountain wall, and he was sure that this thing was not an illusion, but a real mountain wall. It was this steep mountain wall that stopped everyone.

Strictly speaking, this mountain wall can't stop some people including Brent, but they can't send everyone there. Unless he is willing to abandon all the ordinary crew, he is destined to be blocked here.

"Change direction."

He didn't believe that there was no way out. Everyone had no choice but to move along the mountain wall. The road was not smooth, because every now and then, a creature that seemed to be a stone structure would rush out of the mountain wall and then attack. this team.

"Gargoyle?"

There are some differences in appearance, but it is generally closer to the monster that Ethan knows. In addition, this gargoyle can hide into the mountain wall freely. The gargoyle in his memory has no such ability. .

Fortunately, these monsters can only rush out from these cliffs to attack, and will not attack from other directions.

Even so, the team was reduced again, especially the more serious adventurers who had been eroded by negative energy. I don't know how many people became undead creatures along the way, and then were killed by their former comrades.

Brent's face was covered with clouds, and even he had been very relaxed before, as if everything that happened here couldn't trouble his Brad, and his face was not very good-looking at the moment.

Ethan looked around, if they were an army, then this is a rout army that has just suffered a defeat and is fleeing the battlefield in embarrassment. Everyone seemed to have little morale, and they didn't know what to do now.

"It's not good to go on like this."

Brent wanted to find out what was found here, but he organized so many people. As a result, he encountered continuous setbacks as soon as he landed. He was tossed and fled around without even knowing the specific situation. Ethan was suspicious. Will this blow affect Brent's beliefs?

"All stop."

Brent, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped, and he looked forward with a solemn expression.

Right in front of the team, the thick fog looked like a wall, but when everyone stopped, the thick fog like a wall slowly separated a passage, as if it was inviting them to pass.

Without the obstruction of the thick fog, everyone found that the front was actually a huge castle covering an extremely wide area and at least a dozen stories high.

"It's weird to see such a thing appearing in such a place, right?"

Logan had put away his cigars long ago. In this environment, he could not tell whether he was smoking the stench in the air or the cigars. Logan, who had lost the most fun, was now full of complaints and found an opportunity. Just wanted to say a few words.

"As long as people with normal brains know that this place is very strange, do we have room to refuse in the current situation?"

Ethan pointed around, and at this time several people around him also followed Ethan's finger and looked around. The surrounding fog has all dissipated, and everyone can see the situation in the distance.

At this time, everyone noticed that everyone was trapped in a valley at some point, surrounded by steep mountain walls, and even a cliff appeared in the direction they had just walked. They are less than a hundred meters away.

Brent also noticed this situation. Although he didn't know who the enemy was, he obviously forced them to enter the castle.

Of course he won't be afraid. This situation is actually better than the previous situation where he can't even see the enemy. Maybe he will know who did all this when he enters the castle. It is better to have a clear enemy than to be inexplicable. It is much more reassuring to do things right.

"Any suggestions?"

Along the way, Brent had a general understanding of Ethan's strength and wanted to see what he had in mind.

"My suggestion?" Ethan touched his chin. He didn't like to follow the enemy's train of thought. When the situation of being forced to enter the castle by the enemy appeared, his first reaction was not to enter. If so, he just tried to blow up the castle: "What do you think we'll blow this thing up now?"

"Stop joking." Brent waved his hand, hoping that Ethan would give himself some more serious advice, but when he noticed Ethan's eyes, he suddenly understood: "Are you serious?"

"certainly."

Ethan felt a little speechless, did he just look like he was joking? Obviously very serious, right?

"How to fry?"

Brent looked at the castle in the distance. Standing so far away, he knew how huge the building was. If it was at sea, the magic stone cannon on the warship could blow the castle down, but now But there is no such weapon.

Ethan motioned for Brent to step back, and the job was left to him.

Although it was left to himself, Ethan couldn't destroy such a large building by himself. If he wanted to do this, he needed a helper.

"Loki, do me a favor."

Loki looked at me with an expression on his face, and was very unwilling to help, but he hated this place even more, and wanted to leave it earlier, so he finally walked out despite his reluctance.

"What are you going to do?"

"Do you still remember the blizzard that Jaina casted before?"

"You want to use that magic? That magic doesn't seem to pose much threat to the building..." Loki said halfway, and suddenly understood what Ethan was thinking: "You want to use the principle of that magic to transform the frost The power in the box condenses into a more powerful blizzard?"

Loki is worthy of being a genius mage in Asgard, and he immediately thought of why Ethan wanted to help himself, because only he could use the Frost Box, and the frost energy contained in it was colder than Jaina from Azeroth. The blizzard summoned by the area is much scarier.

A snowstorm condensed with this energy can destroy any building.

"Sounds interesting."

Loki has never done this before, but he is very happy to cooperate with Ethan, and observe how Ethan does it by the way, maybe this will become his ultimate move.

It was just that Ethan had just taken out the Arcane Fountain, and a figure suddenly walked out of the castle slowly. At the same time, the familiar mental fluctuations of this person made Ethan realize that he was still an acquaintance.
