After looking around, Lei Xiao discovered.
It is almost impossible to see inside the castle, which is in sharp contrast with the bright and dazzling sunshine outside, making it difficult for the eyes to adjust.
In addition, the humid air here is also filled with a strong smell of mold, giving rise to an eerie and eerie atmosphere.
With the blessing of the night vision effect of the Star Pupil, Lei Xiao squeezed his eyes and his vision began to gradually recover.
He and his group were in a dark room that was only about forty or fifty square meters. It was made of stones and was empty everywhere.
Only the water droplets dripping from the roof in the corner formed a puddle of water on the ground, making a continuous "pitter patter" sound.
"Guiding light!"
As Ariel's staff danced, it drew a beautiful arc in mid-air, and several brilliant light balls lit up at the same time, flying around at extremely high speeds, making the dark room suddenly light up like daylight.
Under the light of the ball of light, the outline of the room, which was only composed of dark colors in Lei Xiao's night vision effect, seemed to be colored instantly and began to become clearer.
The walls of the room, which are made of piled stones, are mottled and cracked in many places, obviously after a long period of time.
The ground, which was also made of stones, was even more severely damaged, like a cracked earth, with many places already sunken.
"This is the interior of the castle of the Shanglu family, one of the three wealthy families in the Cold Flame Kingdom? It's really full of retro style."
Observing the scene in front of him that exuded an ancient smell, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and his eyes rested on the thick rusted metal door at the end of the room, which was the only exit from the room.
"Lord, this seems to be a dungeon."
The knotweed stood in the corner of the room, pointed at the black chain link embedded in it, and said in deep thought: "This is the connection point of the iron chain that imprisons the prisoner."
"A dungeon? That would make sense."
After hearing Huzhang's words, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, raised his eyebrows and said, "We have come to an incredible place."
"Sorry, Lord."
Jiang Liliu frowned and said to Lei Xiao with a face filled with shame: "It's all because of my subordinates that we were teleported here, and the anti-teleportation barrier here has been repaired and reinforced. Even if it's because of my subordinates, Even if you try your best, you won’t be able to break it down in a short period of time.”
"It's not your fault. It seems that the reason why we were able to easily tear open the anti-teleportation magic barrier and successfully sneak into this castle just now was probably because of Han Shui's plan."
Lei Xiao waved his hand to Jiang Li and said with a smile: "Let's take care of it as it comes. If there are any difficulties, we can face them together."
As Lei Xiao said this, his eyes moved and finally landed on a large area of dark red not far away that had long since dried up.
"Lord, this is blood."
Hong Ye squatted on the ground and gently twirled the gravel covered in crimson, and bowed to report: "Although it has dried up long ago, there is still a trace of vastness in it, which undoubtedly shows that its owner is a fifth-level strong man. ."
"The bloodstains of a fifth-level strongman? This Patriarch's castle is indeed quite impressive."
Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath, and his eyes became more serious.
"That was indeed left by a fifth-level powerhouse. The once-famous fifth-level powerhouse coveted the treasures of my Shanglu family and took the risk and sneaked into the family master's castle. Unexpectedly, this place became his eternal tomb. What an arrogant fool."
A joking and cold tone sounded, and Han Shui's cold voice began to echo wantonly in the room out of thin air: "You scumbags who don't know your own capabilities, welcome to the castle of my master. The only way to greet you next is death, even if Even a fifth-level expert will be buried here!"
"Stop bluffing there."
Lei Xiao nodded and told his subordinates to cheer up, and said calmly: "So, it is you who took the initiative to reveal the flaw in the anti-teleportation barrier and attracted us here, right?"
"You are indeed a despicable guest who knows everything, but it is a pity that you are going to die soon. This is the deepest part of my master's castle. It is the killing place carefully prepared by my master for intruders. It is also the beginning of your nightmare."
Han Shui's unbridled voice continued to surge back and forth in the room.
"I might as well tell you that this place has been built with all the efforts of the successive heads of our Shanglu family, and it has finally reached a point where it can easily bury a fifth-level expert."
"But you guys who overestimate your capabilities actually choose to throw yourself into a trap. You are really stupid."
"So what about the three fifth-level experts? They will all be vulnerable in the face of more than 600 years of heritage!"
Han Shui's voice became colder and colder, and he sneered: "As long as I kill you, no one will be able to stop me anymore!"
"Don't worry, it won't be long before we stand in front of you and personally pull you down from the throne of the head of the family."
Facing the other party's cold threat, Lei Xiao's face was calm and he said calmly: "The Shanglu family under your rule is not far from destruction."
"Despicable aliens, is this your purpose? What a ridiculous idea!"
Han Shui's laughter began to become more and more unscrupulous, and it was no longer as calm and indifferent as it was in front of outsiders: "Only in my hands can the Shangluc family achieve true glory!"
"Hanshui, if you turn around now, there may be a glimmer of hope."
Ariel frowned and asked: "The Shanglu family cooperates with the other two wealthy families. This is equivalent to walking on the edge of destruction. Do you want to see the Cold Flame Pillar of the Kingdom that has lasted for more than 600 years, and finally... Is destruction in your hands?"
"Princess Ariel, I know that I am dancing with wolves, but if I don't do this, how can I gain more power and wealth? A small Phytophthora family is not enough for me. The head of the family shows off his fists!”
Han Shui's laughter became more and more wild, continuing to echo in the cold and damp dungeon.
"It's you, stupid Princess Ariel. If you are willing to surrender to His Majesty the Great Fourth Prince, maybe my master can spare your life."
"Otherwise, all of you will be buried here."
After Han Shui finished speaking, before Ariel could speak, Lei Xiao stepped forward and said calmly: "Let's stop the bluffing. We will definitely come in front of you and pull you down from the throne of the head of the family."
"Haha, you despicable guest, those are really heroic words. I hope you can still be so confident in a while."
Han Shui's contemptuous and disdainful laughter continued to echo in the room: "The head of the family is in the meeting hall of the castle. If you have the ability, come over!"
"Then we'll see."
Lei Xiao didn't say much and nodded slightly to the knotweed.
The latter understood immediately. As the cold light of the dragon-slaying sword flashed one after another, the thick metal prison door was cut into pieces and fell to the ground with a "bang, bang, bang".
"Well done."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and took the lead in taking his own steps.
However, just as Lei Xiao led his subordinates out of the cell, what happened next was unexpected by everyone.
