Chapter 577 The Castle is Dark and Damp

Chapter 577 The Castle is Dark and Damp

The two of them rushed into the castle at a faster speed. The castle was dark and damp, and filled with a foul smell. Lin Ze looked around vigilantly, and Su Yao followed closely behind.

Suddenly, the ground shook and a group of skeleton soldiers rushed in from all directions.

Lin Ze carefully bent down and stretched out his right hand to pick up the inconspicuous stone on the ground. However, just as he held the stone, a powerful and mysterious force suddenly gushed out from the inside of the stone! A dazzling wave of light spread outward at lightning speed, and like a surging wave, it hit the skeleton soldiers who were approaching step by step.

With a loud bang, the skeleton soldiers were forced to retreat by the sudden light wave, and for a moment they could not move forward any further. Taking advantage of this brief gap, Lin Ze shouted loudly: "We must find the source of these guys as soon as possible! Only in this way can we completely get rid of their entanglement!" After that, he took the lead without hesitation and ran towards the winding, deep and dark corridor in front.

Along the way, the two were nervous and vigilantly paying attention to the movements around them. After an unknown amount of time, they finally found a closed stone door at the end of the corridor. Lin Ze took a deep breath and pushed open the heavy stone door. In an instant, a stale and decayed smell came to his face. Looking closely, there was an extremely huge crystal ball in this secret room, emitting a strange light. Next to the crystal ball, there was an old man in a black robe standing quietly.

"Humph, you two little brats are still dreaming of escaping from my grasp? That's just wishful thinking!" The old man in black robe sneered sinisterly, his voice seemed to come from the Netherworld and made people shudder. It turned out that this mysterious old man in black robe was secretly controlling everything from the beginning to the end. Whether it was those vicious skeleton soldiers or the elusive shadow assassins, they were just chess pieces in his hands.

Facing the ridicule and threats of the old man in black robe, Lin Ze did not retreat at all. On the contrary, he tightly grasped the magical stone that had just saved his life in his hand, and rushed straight towards the old man like a brave and fearless lion. At the same time, Su Yao was not idle either. She quickly cast her own magic spells, constantly interfering with the surrounding skeleton soldiers who tried to besiege again, creating favorable conditions for Lin Ze to attack.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the old man in black robe, Lin Ze used all his strength to jump high and smashed the stone in his hand hard at the huge crystal ball. With a crisp sound of "crack", the originally indestructible crystal ball suddenly broke into countless pieces and flew everywhere. As the crystal ball shattered, the old man in black robe suddenly let out a shrill roar. Then, his body began to tremble violently, like a candle in the wind. Not long after, the old man's figure gradually became blurred and finally disappeared completely into the air.

Without the control of their masters, the skeleton soldiers collapsed to the ground like deflated balls, unable to move at all. Seeing this, Lin Ze and Su Yao did not dare to delay for a moment and hurriedly turned around to flee from this gloomy and terrifying castle. The moment they successfully stepped out of the castle gate, the tense and oppressive feeling that had been lingering in their hearts was finally slightly relieved.

At this time, the unique aura of the mysterious gem had completely disappeared. Lin Ze looked back at the ancient castle behind him shrouded in the night, secretly glad that the crisis was finally resolved temporarily. He turned to look at Su Yao beside him and said softly: "Next, we have to find a completely safe place to properly place this gem." Su Yao nodded slightly in agreement, and then the two smiled at each other, holding hands and taking firm steps towards the unknown distance...

The two walked along the way and came to a remote town. Just as they were looking for a suitable place to live, they found that the residents looked at them with strange eyes. Lin Ze stopped an old man and asked him, and the old man said in horror: "You carry an evil aura, leave quickly."

Lin Ze and Su Yao looked at each other, their eyes met, revealing a hint of surprise and confusion. They knew very well that this sudden change was probably related to the strange atmosphere left in the mysterious castle.

At this moment, the originally clear sky was covered by thick dark clouds without any warning, as if a huge black curtain instantly covered the entire world. Then, a creepy black shadow rushed down from the clouds like lightning, rushing straight towards where Lin Ze and Su Yao were. When the black shadow approached, the two looked closely and found that it was the old man in black robe who should have disappeared without a trace!

It turned out that the old man in black robe did not really disappear as everyone thought. On the contrary, he relied on his last remaining strength to chase after Lin Ze and Su Yao, who had destroyed his carefully planned conspiracy, and put them to death.

"Damn you guys! How dare you ruin my entire plan? Today is your doom!" The old man in black robe roared in anger, his voice exploding in the air like thunder, making people's eardrums hurt.

Facing such a strong enemy, Lin Ze clenched his fists fearlessly, his joints turning slightly white due to the force; Su Yao on the side also quickly adjusted her state and prepared for the battle with full concentration.

At this critical moment, Lin Ze suddenly had an idea in his mind, and he suddenly thought of the gem that could conceal its own aura but might still contain powerful power. So, he quietly reached out and gently touched the gem in his arms, silently praying in his heart that it could show its magical power again at this moment.

Coincidentally, when Lin Ze's fingertips just touched the gem, the gem seemed to sense his strong desire and began to flicker with a faint light. This change naturally did not escape the eyes of the old man in black robe. He looked at the shining gem and couldn't help showing a deep fear on his face.

Seeing the black-robed old man distracted, Lin Ze decisively seized this fleeting opportunity and rushed towards him like an arrow from a bow. At the same time, Su Yao danced with both hands quickly, chanting something, and cast a series of exquisite spells to provide strong support for Lin Ze.

With the blessing of the mysterious power of the gem, Lin Ze and Su Yao's attack power increased greatly.

For a while, the two sides fought back and forth, and the fight was difficult to resolve.

However, as time went on, the old man in black robe gradually fell into a disadvantage.
