An Encounter After Entering the Castle

To show respect to the Alliance Leader, I'll add another chapter for one more day! I'll try my best to update more often, please subscribe, recommend, and vote with monthly tickets! I'm asking for all kinds of support! ——————————————

Six hours later, Gu Xi was awakened by a series of vibrations. When he looked up, he saw a large hand covered in red hair seemingly falling from the sky, about to pull out the plastic shovel stuck next to the castle.

This is clearly the power of an evil god from outside.

Gu Xi wasn't sure if the other party still had any designs on the castle in front of them.

He didn't care that he was still a little dizzy, and he rolled over and sat up from the ground.

"Get ready to enter the castle, let's hurry!"

Gu Xi glanced at the speed at which the giant hand was reaching down; at this rate, it would take about three hours for the hand to touch the shovel.

Gu Xi immediately pushed his hand, and the Main City Gate, which had been placed on the open ground, crashed directly into the city wall in front of him. Only after the City Gate was opened did Gu Xi have time to examine the castle in front of him.

This castle is built entirely in the style of Sleeping Beauty Castle, and it consists of towers, walls, and high fortifications.

There are no doors or windows between the buildings.

From a distance, it gives the impression that it was carved from a single piece of stone.

But from where Gu Xi stands, you'll see that the castle is made of brick and stone.

However, the doors and windows were blocked off.

This is a test for Gu Xi.

In addition to being able to use the ability of the Death City to open the City Gate, one must also be able to accurately locate and place the City Gate in the corresponding positions.

Otherwise, if the City Gate is opened in the wrong place, it's still a good thing if you go to the wrong place. But if you accidentally destroy some load-bearing walls, then you'll be in big trouble.

Therefore, Gu Xi had to embed the City Gate into the castle wall with considerable precision.

After circling around outside for a short while, Gu Xi decisively pointed forward.

"The City Gate!"

The Main City Gate of Aryadovi crashed directly into the spot Gu Xi pointed to.

The moment it came into contact with the castle, the City Gate slowly merged into the castle wall.

As the City Gate opened, Gu Xi immediately saw the City Gate behind it.

Seeing all this, Gu Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that he had succeeded.

Without much thought, Gu Xi waved his hand and said, "Robbie, take over this castle. Arroyo, guard the City Gate here."

Gu Xi then led his men into the castle.

The moment Gu Xi stepped into the castle, he sensed a twisting force emanating from beneath it.

This power could be described as the power of death, yet it also sustains life.

It's said to be the power of life, yet it also puts people into a deep sleep, like death itself.

At this moment, Gu Xi understood some of the situations surrounding the castle before him.

At the same time, he also understood that his battlefield was about to begin.

Carrying the Cold Wind Staff, Gu Xi strode into the hall.

As Gu Xi stepped in, the lights in the hall suddenly came on, and the King and Queen, along with a large number of ministers, soldiers, and servants who were This City, appeared and looked at Gu Xi with strange expressions.

Their current situation is exactly as Gu Xi saw; they are neither living nor dead.

Seeing this, Gu Xi really wanted Amirka to bring the Crimson Knight over to take a look.

Both were in a state of semi-death, so why was the other so outstanding, even managing to play roles like King and Queen?

While silently complaining to himself, Gu Xi's hands were not idle.

Luo, the first to rush in, led the Bonecleaver Battalion forward.

As soon as they moved, the soldiers guarding the hall also sprang into action.

The soldiers raised their Long Spear and lined up, blocking Robbie's Bonecleaver Battalion outside.

At the same time, the King, who had suddenly appeared, stood up, grinned, and said something to Gu Xi.

Gu Xi didn't hear any sound, but he understood the meaning behind the King's words.

With so many choices, Gu Xi chose the most difficult path: to fight his way up.

Difficult? Gu Xi smiled, showing his confidence in the fighting capabilities of his subordinates.

In Gu Xi's view, when everything was unclear, it was most reasonable for Yi to launch an attack.

Gu Xi not only ordered his men to charge forward, but he also made a move himself.

Gu Xi forcefully slammed the Cold Wind Staff onto the ground, unleashing a "Wave of Death!"

At Gu Xi's command, the aura of death instantly spread outward from Gu Xi as the center.

The power of Wave of Death isn't particularly strong, but its targeting is extremely effective.

Gu Xi sensed upon entering the castle that it was the perfect place to use Wave of Death.

The King and Queen before me were all affected by some kind of force, existing at a point of equilibrium between life and death.

The Wave of Death were released, and whether it was the King, the Queen, or the soldiers in front of them, the Death Qi outweighed the vitality.

Their bodies stiffened immediately.

At the same time, their skin began to rot, and even their bones began to become brittle. It was as if time was accelerating, propelling everything in the room to change rapidly.

Everything in the room began to grow cold and eerie; the King even transformed into Skeleton, its mouth agape as it screamed incessantly.

Gu Xi could tell from his actions that he seemed to be saying something.

Do you know what you've done?

However, Gu Xi about any of that.

He dislikes dealing with Cryptic Person the most.

When Gu Xi heard the King speak but couldn't hear him, he knew that this was the third test.

If they had explained the situation beforehand, Gu Xi would have thought more highly of them.

Now, Gu Xi looked utterly disdainful.

You're playing riddles and you don't even let people flip the table? What are you thinking?

"Robbie, what are you waiting for? Do it!"

Robbie, who had been standing at the front, finally reacted, raised his Two-Handed Sword, and led his men to charge towards the soldiers and the King.

Gu Xi stood still, watching every move on the battlefield.

Behind Gu Xi, troops were rapidly emerging from the City Gate, joining the battle before them.

The King and ministers in this hall don't actually have much power.

After becoming undead, they become extremely weak, and can be killed with a single, casual strike.

Under Gu Xi's orders, Robbie swiftly killed all the enemies on the scene.

Just as the King said, Gu Xi chose the most difficult path for himself.

This challenge is actually a test of whether the newcomer possesses the abilities of the Death Lord.

If he masters it, he should be able to communicate with the King and his entourage, complete the tasks given by the King, accept the King's help, and finally obtain the Thorns Golden Crown hidden inside the castle.

This is, of course, the simplest route.

However, there is a problem: completing the task takes time.

Gu Xi's biggest problem right now is time.

When these King first appeared, the life force emanating from them made Gu Xi realize that these guys weren't completely affected by the Death Lord's skill effects.

Coupled with the King's provocative words, Gu Xi immediately overturned the table.

He planned to break the deadlock using methods that no one else had used before.
