Sail Shadows in the Sea of ​​Fog

Chapter 113 The Fallen Castle
Under the leadership of Shenba, the people who landed on the island explored deeper into the island little by little.

The vegetation on this small island was exceptionally lush, but along the way, they didn't even hear a bird singing, nor did they see any other animals or even insects.

But they could occasionally see human weapons and clothes scattered around - no corpses.

"Something looks wrong here," Yun Lan said first, with a hint of fear in her tone.

“It’s definitely not right.”

Yafuso, who was walking in front of Cheng Lang, said, "The vitality of the plants here is very strong. They are even comparable to the vitality contained in the elves' healing potion. This is not normal. They are just the most ordinary plants."

“There’s more”

Yun Ji said, "These plants look like animals."

"Like an animal? What do you mean?"

Yunlan became more and more flustered, and even subconsciously grabbed Yafuso's arm. Unfortunately, she seemed to have forgotten that Yafuso's fighting ability might not be as good as hers.

Whisper of the Dead

Cheng Lang, who was walking at the end, joined the conversation and said, "Dark elves can read the memories of the dead elves. These plants are very important to dark elves..."

"They all have memories that can be read," Yun Ji took over the topic, "but these memories are very fragmented, I can only..."

"I can only feel that they are very happy and very satisfied." Yafuso said subconsciously.

"That's right"

Shenba also echoed, "I can feel it too. They are very happy and very satisfied."

'It's terrible'

Yun Lan sighed, "I just remembered that I was exploring with three dark elves."

"As everyone knows, three dark elves will eat people when they get together." Cheng Lang said as a matter of course.

"I like to eat it roasted," Yun Ji said.

"I'll go find some firewood later. I haven't eaten humans for a long time." Shenba followed.

"I brought enough seasonings," Yafuso also said.

"Can you please stop making such childish jokes?" Yun Lan said helplessly, slapping his forehead.

"No, it's not a joke."

Cheng Lang had already taken out his whip and lashed it out with force, cracking it loudly. He then said, "The air around here is poisonous and seems to be affecting our sanity."

“It’s released by the surrounding plants.”

Yun Ji reacted immediately, "Shenba, stop cutting the plants. These toxins are released by the cut plants."

"Can"

"Yafuso, use the scissors!" Yunlan suggested very quickly.

"Yes!"

Yafuso quickly pulled out the large scissors from her waist, walked in front of the five-person team, and cut the plants that blocked the way with a snap.

Because of the special ability of the scissors, these plants are not in a state of injury at this time, so they naturally will not release toxins. People gradually stopped talking nonsense, and would not "practice" what they said.

"stop!"

Not long after Yafuso took the lead and walked forward, Yun Ji, who had been walking behind her, suddenly called a halt and grabbed Yafuso.

Without waiting for anyone to ask, Shenba swung the huge sickle in his hand.

Amid the whistling wind, this huge sickle, more than two meters long, spun like a deadly boomerang, cutting off the surrounding plants while also revealing the danger hidden in the plants.

"Qiang!"

Amid the sound of metal clashing against stone, a three-meter-tall stone giant covered with moss and vines used the stone spear in his hand to pick up the huge sickle thrown by Shenba.

Immediately after, a second stone giant emerged from the dense vegetation! In one hand he held a huge stone scimitar, and in the other he held a small shield!

"Boom!"

Amidst the dull sound of stomping, the two stone giants took a step forward in unison, easily breaking the vines wrapped around their bodies. At the same time, they revealed a huge stone gate facing the sky between the two of them!
"This stone man."

Seeing the danger approaching, Cheng Lang was stunned. These two stone men were almost exactly the same as the stone statues of savages he saw in the temple on the Savage Island when he first came to this world!
"Are you frightened?"

Yun Ji grabbed Cheng Lang's arm and ran away while shouting. At the same time, Yun Lan had already made the two stone men covered with thorns all over their bodies.

However, these long thorns not only failed to restrain the two stone men, but made them look even more dangerous!

"Make those long thorns disappear! They are about to turn into big sea urchins!" Shenba, who had picked up the sickle at some point, shouted.

"Feel sorry!"

As Yunlan spoke, she waved her little hand, and the two stone men seemed to have been stripped of their clothes suddenly, losing all the thorns on their bodies.

"Get out of the way! Don't just stand there!"

Yafuso hurriedly reminded Yunlan loudly, but before the latter could react, a long whip had already wrapped around her slender waist and dragged her out of the stone man's attack range while she screamed.

"Ding!"

Almost at the same time, the reckless Shenba had already grabbed the neck of one of the stone men with his sickle, and relying on brute force and the opportunity of the stone man to take a step, he actually pulled the stone man upside down!
"careful!"

Yun Ji let out a scream and rushed towards the second stone man like a madman. It had already raised its javelin and was ready to stab Shenba!
"Princess! Seal its eyes!"

Cheng Lang let out a loud shout and swung the whip, wrapping it around the stone man's neck.

"Look at me!"

Yun Lan, who had just been dragged down and had no time to get up, let out a cry, and suddenly a large number of long thorns covered the stone man's eyes. Then, as if by inspiration, he quickly created a thorn wall to block Shen Ba.

"Get out of the way!"

As Cheng Lang spoke, he had already pulled the whip and brought himself to the stone man's shoulder. Without waiting to stand firmly, he swung the whip again to wrap around the tip of the spear, and then shook the whip to create a rope loop that wrapped around the stone man's head.

It sounds long but it is done in a matter of seconds. When Cheng Lang tightened the whip, the stone man with his eyes sealed subconsciously looked up, and then used his own strength to drive the tip of the spear to rise.

"puff!"

The spear was finally thrust out, and Cheng Lang put away the whip in time. Even Yun Ji deftly passed through the stone man's legs, grabbed Shenba's ear and ran away.

"My scythe!"

Amidst Shenba's wailing, the stone spear, which had only slightly changed direction thanks to the efforts of Cheng Lang and Yun Lan, easily pierced through the thorn wall, and then, by some miracle, pierced the top of another stone man's head, leaving a huge crack.

"Roar--!"

The stone figure, whose head had been split open, let out a deep roar. Then, it dropped its shield, covered its head with its hand, a wound that wasn't bleeding or leaking lava, oil, or any other liquid. It then rushed towards the stone figure, whose eyes were still sealed, brandishing its scimitar. This time, without needing to be reminded, Yun Lan sealed the stone figure's eyes with thorns as well.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cheng Lang immediately jumped down, grabbed Yafusuo's belt from behind with one hand, and wrapped the whip around Yun Lan's slender waist with the other hand. He dragged the two little burdens and ran towards Yun Ji and the others.

"Sickle, my sickle! Shenba turned around the moment Yun Ji let go of his ear, but was tripped to the ground by Yun Ji.

In just a short while, the two stone men started fighting each other like two thugs, completely forgetting their original purpose.

"Come in quickly"

Cheng Lang let go of Yafusuo and Yunlan, then swung the whip again, wrapped around Shenba's precious sickle and pulled it back.

"The entrance is right here! Come and help!"

After trying to push open the castle gate that was lying horizontally without success, Yun Ji greeted Shenba and even gave him a "gentle" kick.

"Step aside"

Shenba caught the sickle thrown by Cheng Lang, then jumped up on the spot with a heavy weight, and stomped on the stone gate with a "bang".

Under this huge impact, half of the stone door opened a gap. But this movement also reminded the two stone men of their business, and they struggled to stand up!
"Come again!" Yun Ji urged, "Hurry up!"

"come together!"

Cheng Lang called out, and the five people immediately jumped up and landed on the door panel in an orderly manner.

"I yell 123! Jump together!"

Cheng Lang glanced at the two giants who were almost standing up, calmed himself down and shouted, "1! 2! 3! Jump!"

Before he finished speaking, the five of them jumped up together and landed simultaneously on the stone gate which was only slightly opened.

This was indeed useful, or even too useful. The stone gate that was originally stuck suddenly opened with a "clang", and the five unprepared people immediately fell down with screams!

At this critical moment, Cheng Lang reacted quickly, swung the whip and wrapped it around a huge door handle on the inside of the door, and grabbed Yafuso's belt from behind.

At the same time, a pair of black wings grew out from behind Yun Ji, and she grabbed Yun Lan's armpits from behind.

As for Shenba, he had the best luck. As he fell, he subconsciously swung the sickle in his hand, and it happened to hook the handle inside another door.

"look down!"

Yafuso was the first to scream, and everyone subconsciously looked down at their feet.

Thanks to the bright sunlight from above, even Yun Lan could clearly see that the castle seemed to be buried upside down in the soil at a minimum of 45 degrees to the ground. In other words, under their feet was a pit with a 90-degree angle formed by the walls and ceiling of the castle.

But in this pit, there was a thick layer of white human bones!

Before everyone could see clearly, the two stone men squatted beside the door, each stretched out a hand, accurately grabbed the pull ring outside the door panel, and then closed the huge stone door, blocking the sunlight outside!
"Bang!"

Along with the sounds of collision and friction, Cheng Lang could even see through the crack in the door that one of the stone men had pinned its stone spear on the door handle!

"Captain, what should we do?" asked Yafuso, whose belt was grabbed by Cheng Lang.

"Don't panic"

Cheng Lang said, "Ji Yun, can you find a place to stay?"

"no problem!"

Before Yun Ji finished her words, she had already circled and landed lightly on a group of huge chandeliers buried among the bones.

Without her reminder, Yun Lan, who didn't want to touch the human bones at all, closed his eyes and waved his hand to create a huge platform woven from thorns.

At the same time, Yun Ji also took off the canvas bag on her back and took out a "sub-mirror" where the magic mirror could live.

"Teacher Magic Mirror, we need light." Yun Ji said. She was a dark elf and could see clearly whether there was light or not, but Yun Lan could not.

"As you wish, Miss Yunji."

Before the magic mirror finished speaking, it emitted a dazzling sunlight, illuminating everything in the horizontal castle clearly.

"Captain, Shenba, did you see that just now?" Yun Ji stared at one direction and said, "I seemed to see something in that direction just now."

As she spoke, she pointed the mirror in that direction. However, under the glaring sunlight, there seemed to be nothing there except the stairs leading to "upstairs."

“We’ll find out soon.”

As Cheng Lang spoke, he had already extended the length of the whip and slowly descended with Yafuso, finally standing on an overturned table.

"Mr. Shenba, please come down." Yunlan also said at this time. She had used thorns to make a ladder for Shenba to climb.

"Thank you. The ability given to you by the ship's heart is really useful." Shenba said enviously as he climbed down the ladder.

"You will also gain the abilities granted by the heart of the ship in the future." Yun Lan said with a smile. She was already standing on the platform made of thorns.

"What does the treasure map say?"

Cheng Lang asked as he looked around. Everything in this castle seemed to be larger than usual, which might imply that the people who lived here were all big.

"The treasure map said we should go to the bell tower, saying that the treasure is there," Yun Ji replied, "I thought we had to climb up, but I didn't expect we had to climb down."

"Magic Mirror, what are the most common dangers in places like this?" Cheng Lang asked while checking his surroundings.

"Respected Captain, the greatest danger in a place like this is the undead."

The magic mirror answered respectfully, "This place is simply a paradise for the undead.

In addition, since we have already docked, I can also go to the island to collect documents and information.

I am currently searching for a mirror in this castle. If there is one, perhaps I can help you. This will not affect our communication, as long as you are within 10 nautical miles."

"We brought enough mirrors"

As Shenba spoke, he patted his backpack. There was nothing else in his bag but small mirrors and a box of mirror fragments.

"Gentlemen, the dead have appeared."

As Yun Ji spoke, she had already jumped onto the thorn platform made by Yun Lan. At this time, the surrounding white bones began to surge, and then they were pieced together to form skeletons holding various weapons.

“Let me try again”

As Yun Lan spoke, the newly assembled skeletons were already covered with thorns.

Unfortunately, I don’t know whether it was because Yunlan’s ability was too weak or these undead skeletons were too strong, they broke those long thorns with just a light wave.

"There are too many of them, the strength of my thorns will weaken!" Yun Lan said, and even the area of ​​the platform became a little smaller, and a thorn sword appeared in her hand.

"We have to kill them all this time. The stairs are blocked."

As Cheng Lang spoke, he whipped the surrounding undead skeletons hard.
