Chapter 338: Liu Li Finds Two Paintings (2/2)

w.a.n.g Lu led his team to approach the castle. When they were near the castle, the castle door slowly opened itself for them, revealing a faint light, as if the castle coldly welcomed them.

The team then gingerly went inside the castle along with the direction of the light. When Aya, who walked at the rear, went past the door, with a loud crash, the heavy and huge castle door shut itself. Then, the clouds which previously disappeared suddenly appeared again.

Aya vigilantly swung her sword back, sweeping three feet semicircle arc behind her. However, the sword just cut an empty spot, the sharp sword qi tore the clouds, tumbling them hundreds of meters away. Yet, there was no trace of that castle gate.

”The gate is gone!”

w.a.n.g Lu was not surprised by this. ”It means we have to move forward and don't look back… okay, let's see what's inside the castle.”

—

Two hours later.

”Senior Brother, the second floor has also been explored. It has a similar structure with the first floor, a U-shaped long hallway. Each of the sides has ten rooms, and each room leads to a very different location, which contains very rich resources.

Bai s.h.i.+xuan reported in a soft voice while handing over a few pieces of image and sound recorders.

”This is the images recorded when I and Liu Li separately explored, please check them out.”

w.a.n.g Lu waved his hand. ”No need. Since the structure is similar to the first floor, then I'm afraid the content is also similar. In total, the entire rooms on the first and second floor are eighty rooms, each leads to a different place, and each individual place is rich with one or two resources. This castle is like a storehouse, a relay station, so that we can adequately prepare before embarking on the real journey.”

w.a.n.g Lu then looked towards the not too far away locked door, then his brows gradually wrinkled and eyes turned sharp.

”Get ready, let's break through the clouds blockade outside the door.”

After that door, there was an absolute cloud blockade. Opening the door was not difficult. Although it was thick and solid and can't be damaged through brute force, as long as a little bit of force was applied at the right position, it could be pushed away. But after pus.h.i.+ng open the door came the invisible fingers of the thick clouds. Entering it seemed like entering a different dimensional s.p.a.ce, no matter what, it was very hard to move forward. They couldn't be more than three feet away from the door. w.a.n.g Lu told his team to give it a try, but no matter how hard they struggled, the law of s.p.a.ce tightly imprisoned them all.

In addition to this door, there were eighty doors inside the castle. Although each of them led to a different area, each one of them was a dead end, so the only way forward was through that door.

Therefore, temporarily, the situation has reached an impa.s.se.

”Think of a way, w.a.n.g Lu.”

After the end of the exploration of a certain room, Aya wearily returned back to the hall.

”Now we seem to be trapped.”

The castle doors that lead to the outside were only two. One was the entrance that disappeared in the sea of clouds after w.a.n.g Lu and the others entered the castle, and the other one was the one in front of them, which they couldn't seem to break through. Both appeared to be dead ends.

w.a.n.g Lu said, ”According to the current situation, this means that we should find something in these eighty rooms in order to continue to move forward. I've just found something similar to the sesame seeds in the crop room, but it seems to be completely useless.”

Aya completely didn't understand about w.a.n.g Lu's fixation of the sesame seed, so she said, ”Should we take each resource in each room and try them one by one?”

”That's the most inefficient and stupidest way. But, since there's no other clue, we can only try it first.”

As a professional adventurer, w.a.n.g Lu always hated inefficient strategy. However, in the absence of any other alternative, he would not stubbornly refuse it. After all, even the stupidest method was better than doing nothing.

However, just as w.a.n.g Lu was ready to mobilize his team to collect resources, the cheerful laughter of Liu Li came from above them. ”Hahaha, Senior Brother, I found two paintings here!”

Two paintings? w.a.n.g Lu was immediately curious. He flew up, flying upward in the direction of Liu Li's voice.

The clouds were everywhere, even inside the castle. Although there were only two floors inside the castle, the s.p.a.ce on each floor was very broad. w.a.n.g Lu had to directly fly several hundred meters upward before he saw the first-floor ceiling as well as the jubilant Liu Li.

”Senior Brother, Senior Brother, look, there are two paintings here! They're really pretty paintings!”

w.a.n.g Lu s.h.i.+fted his gaze towards the direction where Liu Li pointed her finger at and his eyes immediately turned sharp.

”Liu Li, great job.”
