On the side, the change in Zhou Lei's expression was also noticed by several senior members of the sisterhood.
The girls' eyes flashed with brilliance, and they were a little surprised by Zhou Lei's indifference.
You must know that this is a large stone castle, many times more magnificent than the wooden garrison of other forces.
I remember that during the novice welfare period, every person who was teleported would basically agree to join the membership immediately after seeing the stone castle, because the sense of security given by the stone castle was far superior to that of the wooden village.
The stone castle definitely played an important role in the development of their sisterhood to this point.
But even this large stone castle that they were proud of still didn't make Zhou Lei feel any strange. This made them feel resentful in their hearts. Of course, they couldn't express it. After all, Zhou Lei couldn't do anything. A benefactor to their sisterhood.
Following the girls, Zhou Lei and the other three also got off the boat. This time, Zhou Lei did not put the boat into the secret space, as he did not want to expose the existence of the secret space.
After obtaining the consent of the three people, the seven fishman warriors on the ship, led by Beka, jumped off the deck, jumped into the sea, and began their hunting trip.
As for the dhow docked at the wooden port, the Sisters have their own people stationed there, so there is no need to worry.
All the way towards the mountainside stone castle not far away, beside them, Ren Yang and Zhao Hu kept looking at everything around them. They were still extremely curious about this ancient stone castle.
Beside him, Xie Xuan explained:
"This stone fort was discovered during the novice welfare period. There were many guards in the fort at that time. We worked step by step and finally completely occupied the stone fort."
Hearing this, Zhou Lei nodded slightly. There was no surprise that he kept silent about the many inheritances obtained in the castle. It was related to their background and trump card, and naturally such things would not be exposed easily.
Soon, everyone stepped into the stone gate of the old castle. From the beginning to the end, although Zhou Lei looked calm and seemed to have no precautions, in fact, he was already extremely vigilant in his heart and was ready to deal with various sudden changes.
Well... Zhou Lei soon discovered that being vigilant seemed a bit redundant, because the other party did not set any traps, nor did they have any sneak attacks. From beginning to end, they were overthinking themselves.
Walking into the stone castle, Zhou Lei looked around for a while, and soon sighed again in his heart. This stone castle is not small in area, and there is probably underground space. Even if there are 100,000 people living in it, there will be no pressure. It can be said to be a perfect place. The ultimate residence.
Soon, under the leadership of several senior women from the sisterhood, the three of them walked into a courtyard. The moment they walked into the courtyard, Zhou Lei's eyes focused on the stone pool in the courtyard. To be more precise, Zhou Lei's eyes focused on the stone pool in the courtyard. , gathered on those special fish swimming in the stone pool.
The fish's whiskers were purple, and its body showed a faint moonlight color. Zhou Lei guessed that it was probably the "Black Sea Moonlight Fish" mentioned by the previous girls.
His eyes focused on this fish, and soon an attribute board appeared in front of him.
The moment he read its attributes, Zhou Lei suddenly felt overjoyed. Yes, this was the last auxiliary material he needed to advance to the first level Whale Knight.
He took thirty moonlight fish from this stone pool, twelve of which were needed for promotion, and the other eighteen were directly taken into the secret space by him. In his own secret space, there was an underwater space, which was just right. Used to breed this group of moonfish.
Hmm... The second and third level Whale Knights in the future will all want these Black Sea Moonlight Fishes, so naturally they have to keep some insurance.
………
After collecting 30 moonlight fish, Zhou Lei and the others were not in a hurry to leave. It was almost sunset today, and the girls tried their best to persuade them to stay, so they decided to rest here for a night.
Another point is that after more than a month of wandering at sea, although they still have a lot of food stored on the ship, seafood has been the staple food recently, and their mouths have almost become dull. They all want to change their tastes, and they also have some food. The ship was replenished with provisions.
At night, the lights in the castle shine brightly. Even when night falls, there is no shortage of night guards throughout the castle. It is obvious that the management of this sisterhood is still very good.
In a large guest room, three people were resting in the same room. It wasn't that the castle didn't have guest rooms, or that the sisterhood didn't have arrangements, but that the three of them insisted on doing so.
Being in someone else's house and not familiar with the people, the three of them dare not rest separately. If the other party really gets into trouble and is defeated one by one, it will be a lot of fun.
………
In a closed meeting hall on the top floor of the castle, five figures were sitting in a circle around a round table. If Zhou Lei and the others were to meet again, they would definitely be able to identify the five figures as the leader and the leader of the four flowers of the sisterhood.
At this time, a woman's voice suddenly sounded in the hall.
"Xiaoyun, Xiaoxuan, have you discovered anything about those three people, especially Zhou Lei?"
"Well, we haven't seen them take action from the beginning to the end, but the three summoned beasts are all frighteningly strong. Two are at the eighth level and one is at the seventh level. They are almost equal to our entire high-level combat power."
"I only know that they are very strong and will never be weaker than the leader. Especially Zhou Lei, who gave me an extremely scary feeling."
………
After a period of silence, the sound of conversation soon started to sound again in the hall.
"Then what do you think about using the quota at the Guardian Altar on them?"
As soon as these words came out, the hall was instantly shocked.
"Are you sure? The guardian altar is one of the few buildings in the castle that can function normally, and once it is confirmed, it cannot be replaced. Do you want to think about it again?"
"I think there is no problem. Madam Zhou Lei is very optimistic about it. My intuition tells me that if he binds the guardian altar, he will never let us down."
"Xiaoxuan, what do you think?"
"Well... ok, I can't see through him, but what is certain is that even if we are put together, we are no match for him!!!"
The hall was startled again, and the other four women looked surprised. They knew Xie Xuan's talent very well. Since she said so, there is a high probability that this is the truth.
After that, several people quickly reached a consensus and then left the hall again.
………
Early the next morning, the three of them enjoyed a rich breakfast, and then prepared to get up and leave directly. They still had things to do, and Zhou Lei was anxious about promotion-related matters, so he naturally wanted to return to the ship as soon as possible, and then Attempt to ascend to formal transcendence.
However, the girls from the sorority showed up again with requests.
Looking at the serious-faced women, no matter how eager Zhou Lei was, he could only suppress the excitement in his heart and listened carefully to the other party's request.
"Three of you, we sisters have another unmerciful request. Of course, this request will not cause any harm to you. On the contrary, it will bring a lot of benefits. Please listen to what we have to say."
As he said that, the women turned sideways, pointed behind them and said:
"Please come with us!"
Zhou Lei narrowed his eyes slightly, and finally followed him. Based on his intuition, these women did not mean any harm now, and there was a high probability that they really had something to talk to them about.
After changing directions several times, the women quickly led the three of them to an underground stone palace. Zhou Lei looked around and quickly scanned the stone palace.
The next moment, he understood in his heart, and roughly understood what kind of place this was.
In front of them, in the middle of the stone hall, there was a simple stone altar, and on the floor of the altar, there were ancient inscriptions engraved, which looked extremely extraordinary.
Zhou Lei guessed in his mind that this was probably an ancient altar that had been preserved from the stone castle, and it had incredible functions or powers.
The reason why Zhou Lei didn't show any strange expression was because he knew that the altar in front of him was definitely not a sacrifice altar, and as long as it was not a sacrifice altar, there wouldn't be so many pitfalls, and naturally there was no need to be more vigilant.
Just when he was wondering why several people led them to inspect this ancient altar, Cheng Yun, who was on the right side of the women, took the lead in explaining:
"This is the guardian altar. It is an ancient legendary building that has been preserved from the castle. It can bind some powerful creatures. At critical moments, it can summon the void projections of these powerful creatures to fight. It is equivalent to a powerful life-saving trump card."
"So?" Zhou Lei was confused.
After Weiwei organized some words, Cheng Yun quickly said again:
"So after discussion, we finally decided to bind three of the quotas to you."
Hearing this, Zhou Lei and the others suddenly understood what the other party meant.
In other words, as long as they are bound, if the sisters are in trouble in the future, they will activate the guardian altar, and the altar will extract the projection of the bound person and help them solve the crisis.
In this regard, Zhou Lei frowned. Since the benefits lie with the sisterhood, what about them? If there is no benefit at all, why should they bind this guardian altar?
Maybe it was the thoughts in the three people's minds.
Cheng Yun quickly explained:
"Every time this altar is opened, it will cost a lot of resources. After summoning the combat projection, the bound person does not need to pay any price at all. And every time we take action, we will give generous rewards and will never let you It’s all for nothing.”
After hearing this, Zhou Lei probably understood. This meant that after binding, they did not have to pay any price for each summon, and they could also pay a decent reward.
He thought about this for a while, and then asked again:
"What will happen if the enemy is too strong and the projection we project is killed?"
After hearing this, the women quickly said:
"Don't worry about this. The death of the projection will never affect the body in the slightest. As long as you try your best, as long as my sisterhood is not destroyed after the war, the reward you should pay will never be less."
After hearing this, Zhou Lei was completely relieved. He glanced at Zhao Hu and Ren Yang behind him and agreed:
"Yes, as long as you keep your promise, we will do our best when we take action in the future, and there will never be a situation where we take money and do nothing!!!"
The two sides reached an agreement, and soon Zhou Lei and the other three walked up to the center of the altar. As the hexagonal altar trembled, a powerful beam of light rose up from under their feet, immediately engulfing the three of them.
Zhou Lei only felt that his whole body seemed to be stuck in a constant state, and his entire body was wrapped in a warmth. There was no discomfort or pain. Instead, there was an indescribable sense of comfort in his body, which made him enjoy it extremely.
I don't know how long it took, but Zhou Lei and the other three came out of their trance, and a notification sounded in their ears.
This prompt was not the mechanical prompt they had seen before, but a pleasant female voice, which seemed to be unique to the altar at the foot, or to this ancient stone castle.
When the three of them walked down from the altar, the girls waiting at the door came over with smiles on their faces. It was obvious that after Zhou Lei and the others successfully became the guardians of the altar, their attitudes became more friendly.
The three of them were not surprised by this. After all, the relationship between the two parties had become much closer again, and it was only natural for the other party to behave like this.
But just as the two sides were chatting politely again, they were unaware of the changes taking place outside the stone castle at this moment.
The sky-reaching light beam emitted by the guardian altar just now was not limited to the stone castle. The light beam reached the sky. Such a huge movement shocked all living creatures within a radius of more than ten miles. At this time, there were a large group of living creatures. They are gathering towards the center of the light pillar, densely packed, and the number is astonishing.
At this moment, several senior members of the sorority frowned. They also received warnings from the members below and quickly figured out the cause of the matter.
Afterwards, the women eagerly led Zhou Lei and the others to the stone walls surrounding the stone castle.
In this short period of time, the walls of the stone castle were already filled with members of the sisterhood. Their faces were extremely ugly, and their eyes were fixed on the outside of the wall.
Before he climbed onto the city wall, Zhou Lei had already sensed something in advance. He heard the rumble of footsteps coming from the city wall. The sounds were very confusing, but the movement was extremely scary, and even the ground of the stone castle was shaking slightly.
Walking up to the city wall and looking outside the wall, Zhou Lei's eyes flashed with certainty the next moment.
Outside the city wall, densely packed various creatures are swarming in. At first glance, the number cannot be less than two or three thousand, and the key point is that this is only the number seen outside one city wall, and the other three sides, I am afraid there will not be any. How good it is.
This means that the number of monsters besieging the stone castle where the sisterhood is based is likely to exceed 10,000.
Thinking of this, all the members of the sisterhood looked extremely ugly, and their beauty was pale. Although they had lived in this great sailing world for nearly two months, they had never seen such a battle before?
In this regard, the faces of several senior members of the sisterhood are equally unsightly. Among the densely packed monsters, there are many high-level spiritual creatures. In other words, this is destined to be a difficult battle.
However, unlike them, Zhou Lei and the others were not worried at all, but were filled with excitement. In their view, these were not terrifying monsters, but walking extraordinary points.
