The group of people said no more and walked quickly along the passage behind the secret door.
As I was walking, it suddenly became dark in front of me, so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.
Katsa——
The tall man took out a flashlight and lit it, and Shi Tu and two other local men followed suit.
Xiao Ning took a quick look and thought that these people were indeed well prepared.
"Brother Xiao, here it is."
Shi Tu threw a flashlight to Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning quickly reached out and took it.
"Let's go on!"
Shi Tu said excitedly.
Of course, he was not excited because he was about to discover Varuk's secrets hidden in the castle.
It's about being excited because the mission is about to succeed.
Now that Xiao Ning has been successfully deceived by them, as long as they deceive him to go a little further, he can become Lord Varuk's delicacy.
When the time comes, Lord Varuk will definitely be richly rewarded.
The group continued to move along the dark passage.
Shi Tu was still walking in front, Xiao Ning was behind Shi Tu, and three local men followed them.
Mainly because this passage can only allow one person to pass through, so they can only file in like this.
In this way, the group of people quickly walked along the passage for about five or six hundred meters.
Xiao Ning was observing the surroundings as he walked.
He found that this passage was diagonally downward, so the five or six hundred meters journey had taken him deep into the ground.
However, after walking so far, this passage still has no end, and I don't know how long it is.
Xiao Ning just used his consciousness to investigate, but was blocked by some mysterious force.
It can be seen from this that there is indeed extraordinary power in this castle, and the legendary Varuk is indeed a great magician.
"It seems that there is indeed a big secret hidden in this castle. This trip was not in vain."
Xiao Ning thought secretly in his heart.
His intuition was indeed right, this castle was not as simple as it seemed.
The only question now is what secrets are hidden in the castle.
In other words, what good things did the great magician Varuk leave behind?
"Why is this passage so deep?"
While walking, Shitu suddenly spoke.
Of course he knows how long the passage is and what is at the end of it.
What he said now was just to deceive Xiao Ning's trust.
Because next, he will activate some kind of mechanism to bring Xiao Ning directly to Lord Varuk.
Bang--
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound under the feet of the group of people.
Shi Tu suddenly shouted alertly: "What's going on?"
The other three local men did not react and just stopped.
At this time, there was another bang from below.
But this time, in addition to the sound, a long gap opened in the ground beneath their feet.
In an instant, the group of people fell into the gap and fell all the way down.
On the way down, Xiao Ning's mind was racing, thinking about the next move.
With his strength, he was able to stop his falling momentum in an instant and levitate in mid-air out of thin air.
And it is easy to return to that channel.
But he was in no hurry to do so because he wanted to see what was underneath.
Just as Xiao Ning was thinking this, Shi Tu and the three local men suddenly slowed down and were suspended in the air.
"Um?"
Xiao Ning was alert.
These four people are ordinary people who have never practiced cultivation. How could they suddenly levitate out of thin air?
Could it be that there is some invisible force below holding them back?
But if that's the case, why can't he feel this power at all?
Xiao Ning couldn't figure out the situation at all in a short period of time.
But soon, he no longer had time to think about this.
Because a wild wave of laughter suddenly came from below.
"not good!"
Xiao Ning felt bad and quickly stopped.
But before he could completely stabilize himself, Shitu and three local men suspended above him suddenly took action.
"Get down here!"
The four of them drank violently.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ning felt a huge force coming from above.
This invisible force pushed him down all the way, and finally came to a magnificent cave.
"This is?"
After Xiao Ning blasted away the power from the four people on Shitu, he quickly turned around and looked around.
All this happened so fast and suddenly that Xiao Ning couldn't figure out the situation in a short time.
But no matter what, one thing is certain.
That is, he is now in some kind of crisis.
The underground part of this castle is not as simple as imagined.
"Hahahahaha..."
The wild laughter sounded again.
It echoed in this huge cave and also echoed in Xiao Ning's ears.
Xiao Ning looked around and at the same time used his spiritual consciousness to quickly find the source of the sound.
At this time, the laughter suddenly stopped and he said, "No need to look for me, I'm right in front of you."
Xiao Ning shrank and saw a translucent figure slowly emerging in the air in front of him.
The figure became clearer and clearer, and soon became an entity.
"Isn't this guy Varuk?"
Xiao Ning exclaimed in her heart.
And the moment he thought of this, Shi Tu, who came from above, yelled: "Don't kneel down when you see Lord Varuk!"
Xiao Ning looked up and saw four people from Shitu slowly falling from the sky, surrounding him in the middle.
Immediately afterwards, Shi Tu's appearance and figure changed rapidly, from an oriental face to a local look.
"It seems that I was deceived by you."
Xiao Ning frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.
Just now, he thought that the four people in Shitu were suspended in mid-air due to being dragged by some invisible force.
But what happened next has proven that these four people are all strong men who have mastered extraordinary power.
In other words, he was kept in the dark from beginning to end and was deceived by Shi Tu.
"No. 21, you did a good job this time."
Varuk said approvingly.
Hearing this, Xiao Ning glanced at Shi Tu again, and it turned out that Shi Tu's real name was No. 21.
No wonder the three local men shouted the word "two" when they saw Shitu.
"Sir, this is what I should do."
Shi Tu bowed respectfully and saluted.
Then, he glared at Xiao Ning and said, "Brother Xiao, don't you want to find Lord Varuk's secret? Lord Varuk is standing in front of you now."
When Xiao Ning heard this, he thought that his guess just now was indeed correct.
The guy in front of me is really the great magician Varuk.
However, he was also a little curious. This Varuk looked extremely poor, and his whole face was sickly pale. Could it be that he was seriously ill?
"I didn't expect you to hide underground for so many years."
Xiao Ning looked at Varuk with a calm expression and said: "It can be seen from this that you can't touch the sun now and can only survive in such a dark place."
"Hahaha." Varuk laughed, "It's okay, as long as I eat a few more immortal cultivators like you, this won't be a problem anymore."
He was indeed hiding under the castle because he couldn't go to the ground, so after Xiao Ning exposed this, he didn't evade it at all.
"In your current state, you still want to eat me? It's just a dream!"
Xiao Ning sneered.
However, he acted calm on his face, but actually he was still a little panicked inside.
Because he doesn't know Varuk's reality, nor does he know how many restrictions Varuk has placed underground.
If you take action later, the situation may be unfavorable to you.
But then again, if all of Varuk's people can be eaten this time, it will definitely create a very powerful monster.
Moreover, Varuk's underground castle is an excellent hiding place. When the time comes to practice hiding here, it will be absolutely safe.
Therefore, although Xiao Ning was a little panicked, there was also a lot of excitement in the panic.
"If you be honest and wait, you can die happily."
Shi Tu scolded in a deep voice.
Xiao Ning glanced at him coldly and said nothing.
When Shi Tu saw it, he thought it was Xiao Ning who didn't dare to fight him due to the situation at hand, and he felt proud in his heart.
When he was up there just now, Xiao Ning showed him a lot of looks.
Now I finally have a chance to get it back.
"Bring people here."
Varuk said in a deep voice.
After saying that, he became translucent again, and then disappeared out of thin air.
"Brother Xiao, you'd better be wiser and don't force us to take action."
Shi Tu threatened.
Xiao Ning did not answer this question.
Shi Tu sneered, pursed his lips and said, "Go forward and enter that passage."
Xiao Ning did not hesitate and walked directly towards the passage.
As he walked, he used his consciousness to explore his surroundings.
Before taking action, you must try to understand the reality here, otherwise you will definitely suffer a loss.
It was precisely because of these considerations that he refrained from taking action.
The group of people moved forward quickly and soon entered the passage designated by the stone road.
This passage is the same as the one just now, it is also difficult to see.
However, Shi Tu and others did not light up their flashlights this time, because with their ability they could see clearly even in the dark.
The same goes for Xiao Ning.
So the group of people walked silently in the dark passage without saying a word.
While traveling, Xiao Ning was still investigating the environment of this underground castle.
But it is a pity that there are forces everywhere blocking his consciousness, which prevents his consciousness from covering the entire castle.
So Xiao Ning had no choice but to open his eyes wide and prick up his ears to listen and look carefully.
Use your five senses to explore the secrets of this underground castle.
Soon, they walked out of the passage and came to another spacious cave.
However, this place cannot be called a cave in the strict sense, because the surrounding layout and architectural pattern are exactly the same as the castle on the ground.
If you don't tell others that this is underground, they will just think that you are entering a castle.
Xiao Ning quickly glanced around.
It seems that this place was built many years ago, and Varuk is indeed a figure from the medieval period.
"Bring people here."
Varuk's voice came from the heavy door ahead.
"Walk!"
Shi Tu pushed Xiao Ning and asked him to continue walking forward.
Xiao Ning took steps again and walked towards the heavy door.
After passing through the gate, Xiao Ning saw a row of long steps, and above the steps was Varuk's throne.
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms]
At this time Varuk was sitting on the throne, looking down at Xiao Ning.
"I could have kept you alive for a while, but unfortunately there is a little problem now."
Varuk suddenly said without starting or ending.
Xiao Ning suddenly frowned.
He didn't know why Varuk suddenly said this, but judging from the other person's words, it seemed that he was planning to feed him for a while before eating.
Xiao Ning's guess was correct, this was indeed Varuk's original plan.
In his eyes, Xiao Ning is just a medicine. If he wants to fully exert the effect of this medicine, he must do some treatment first.
But it's a pity that we don't have time now, because the other two Eastern cultivators are also coming this way.
Those two people were Taiyi and Taoist Tianbao.
Varuk was afraid that after these two people found this place, they would join forces with Xiao Ning to deal with him, which would cause trouble.
So to be on the safe side, it’s better to hurry up and eat Xiao Ning first.
"Someone, call the great alchemist over."
Varuk said to an apostle under the throne.
The apostle immediately turned around and left, asking for the great alchemist under Varuk.
Xiao Ning didn't say anything, he just watched Varuk give orders quietly, and then watched the apostle leave this huge room.
Not long after, there was a burst of footsteps outside the door.
Xiao Ning turned around and saw a local man wearing a long robe with white beard and white hair coming through the gate.
And behind him, there were a group of people carrying various utensils.
Xiao Ning took a quick glance and found that these things seemed to be special tools for alchemy.
"Hmph, these people really treat me as some kind of drug."
Xiao Ning sneered in her heart.
There is no doubt that Varuk called the great alchemist over to ask him to refine him into edible potion.
"We'll start with the alchemist later."
Xiao Ning thought secretly in his heart.
He is silent now, but he is thinking rapidly in his mind, thinking about how to break the situation and counterattack.
After some thinking, he found that the great alchemist was a good breakthrough point.
Later, I will first use the method of flesh and blood resurrection to make the great alchemist, and then kill the others.
As long as you put together a powerful enough monster first, you can block Varuk's first wave of attacks.
That way the next thing will be easier to handle.
After Xiao Ning observed, he found that there was nothing special in this underground castle. Varuk relied on these powerful apostles.
So he has a chance, and it's still great.
"Do it."
On the throne, Varuk ordered.
The great alchemist quickly saluted Varuk, and then winked at the men he brought with him.
Those people moved quickly to assemble the various utensils and tools brought over.
Soon, an alchemy furnace was assembled.
This alchemy furnace is three meters high and can easily accommodate a person of Xiao Ning's size.
"Brother Xiao, I'm sorry. If you want to blame me, I only have to blame you for being too curious."
Shi Tu chuckled, then shook his head towards the other three apostles.
The four people quickly surrounded Xiao Ning.
Next, they will control Xiao Ning first, and then throw Xiao Ning into the alchemy furnace.
Then as long as it takes an hour or two to climb up, Xiao Ning's body will be gone and he will become the magic potion that Master Varuk urgently needs.
Although it is a bit wasteful to refine the potion in this way, the current situation is special and there is no other way.
The four of them quickly approached Xiao Ning.
But at this moment, the great alchemist standing next to the alchemy furnace suddenly exploded into pieces with a bang.
