After stepping into the corridor, everything in front of us quickly became dark!
The originally dark-colored corridor walls were deteriorating and fading at a speed visible to the naked eye. The wall skin was constantly lifting, damaged and peeling off, and then quickly withered and withered in the air. After the skin peeled off, the rusty metal wall underneath was exposed.
A soul-stirring low rumble began to echo in my ears.
"It seems to be an illusion!" Kerr, who was at the back, whispered.
"Who has the materials to restrain illusions?" Will, who was walking in front, said with a trembling voice.
Senior apprentice Warren fumbled in his pocket for a while, took out a black clay pot, and whispered: "I have some psychedelic grass, which one of you needs it?"
"I"..."I"..."I"
The other three were overjoyed and couldn't help but ask for it.
Psychedelic grass is a kind of herb with serrated edges on the leaves. It is also one of the basic materials for making psychedelic medicines. If you grind psychedelic grass into a paste and apply it on the tip of your nose, it can refresh your mind and strengthen your body.
The ability to resist hallucinations.
After the four of them prepared according to the law, they were about to turn around and ask Alice if she needed it, but found that the other party was holding a bright magic gem in his hand and looking at the changes around him.
This gemstone is rhombus-shaped, colorless and transparent. When held in the hand, a soft light shines out, giving people a sense of tranquility and clarity.
Really looking at gems!
The muscles on the faces of several apprentices twitched, and they were speechless for a while.
This kind of magic gem that can see through invisibility and illusion has a minimum market value of 400 magic crystals. With the financial resources of a few of them, they cannot afford it. The other party is also a wizard apprentice. Although he is a relatively noble quasi-witch, he can
Take one out easily.
This... the gap between apprentice and apprentice is too big!
Alice shook the True Sight Gem and moved a little closer to the wall. The dilapidated and withered scene she had just seen disappeared instantly. The wall returned to the form of dark brown wooden texture, and everything was the same as before.
It is indeed an illusion!
After several apprentices saw it, they finally put down their snacks.
Will grimaced again and moved forward step by step.
Judging from the length of the building on one side of the castle, this corridor is less than a hundred meters at most. With the eyesight of a few people, even if the lights are dim, they should be able to see the end of the corridor at a glance. But it is weirdly tight, and the most people can see here.
It can only extend to seven or eight meters away.
The scene further away seemed to be swallowed up by a mass of darkness, completely unable to be seen.
It seems to be some kind of illusion effect again!
Will moved forward slowly, his eyes constantly scanning his surroundings and feet. Any slight change or abnormality would make him stop, and he would not move forward again until he was sure there was no danger.
The misty darkness faded little by little before my eyes.
The candlelight dancing on the walls on both sides reflected a dim yellow halo. The shadows projected on the wall were longer and shorter, left and right, like monsters with teeth and claws. The wooden boards under their feet were obviously old, and they were stepped on.
It kept making a tooth-aching sound.
A half-meter-square wooden picture frame hung on the wall on the left side in front, which had been hidden in the shadow of candlelight and could not be seen. Now that it was closer, Will could clearly see the contents inside.
This is a pastoral landscape painting, with mountains in the distance and water nearby. There is a slightly raised hill in the middle of the picture, and a vague figure whose gender cannot be seen is looking up at it from the top of the hill.
The painting technique is quite good, but I don’t know what the artist was thinking, but he only used black and white in the entire painting, turning a beautiful pastoral scenery into a ghost painting with a hint of ghostliness.
Will shook his head and focused his attention on the wooden board under his feet.
As he moved forward, the abnormal creaking sound accompanied him, making it almost impossible for him to concentrate on distinguishing the movement around him. But when he stopped and wanted to listen to the movement around him, the abnormal sound of creaking wooden boards was heard.
It came from behind again.
"You guys are so quiet..." Will couldn't help but turn around and scold him, but the sight he saw shocked him.
Several companions were indeed following behind, but... they all had pale skin, distorted faces, and two lines of blood and tears were slowly flowing from their eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" Will asked with a trembling voice.
Several companions showed ferocious smiles on their faces, stretched out their pale claws as sharp as a drowned corpse, and surrounded him with strange screams.
Will was so frightened that he took a few steps back. Finally, unable to bear the fear in his heart, he turned around and ran quickly.
Crossing the creek and running across the grass, Will was out of breath and finally stopped out of breath after climbing a hill.
Are you finally getting rid of those scary monsters now?
With a hint of panic, Will looked back and suddenly noticed that the environment around him was strange.
This... this doesn't seem to be the dark and gloomy third-floor corridor of the castle, but...
Looking at the gloomy distant mountains behind me, looking at the gray grass in front of me, looking at the black river... A wooden box is suspended in the mid-air in the distance, it seems to be a window, through which you can vaguely see
A pale figure led Kerr, Warren and others slowly walking down a dark and terrifying corridor.
Judging from his position and angle, Will was horrified to find that he seemed... to be in the portrait he just saw. And his original position had been replaced by the figure in the portrait!
Damn it, is this an illusion or reality?
For a moment, Will couldn't tell whether he was affected by the illusion or was actually introduced into the portrait. So he ran frantically towards the wooden frame window, waving and shouting loudly.
However, the strange thing is that no matter how he shouts and runs, the wooden frame window is always so far away from him, and it seems that he will never reach it...
…………
In the gloomy and dark corridor.
Kerr couldn't help frowning and said: "Will, can you walk faster? If you take one step at a time like this, how long will it take for us to check the entire floor!"
Will responded vaguely and finally quickened his pace.
The corridor was not long, and soon the group came to a wooden door.
Everyone studied it closely and found no traces of witchcraft fluctuations on the wooden door. There should be no witchcraft trap or anything like that.
At the signal from everyone, Will bravely pushed the wooden door open gently.
With a soft creak, the wooden door opened.
Inside is a beautifully decorated small library. The space is not large, but the wooden shelves against the wall are densely packed with books and volumes. Many of the books are even flashing with a faint fluorescent light, which makes it obvious at first glance that they are not ordinary books.
.
Books, so many books...
The apprentices who had regarded collecting knowledge as an instinct wanted to push away others and break into the house to find some books that they were interested in. But at this moment, behind them, Alice coughed slightly childishly.
Passed over.
Several people froze, and quickly moved to the side, bowed and saluted: "Ms. Alice, please come first!"
Alice took a step forward and sneered: "Before you divide the spoils, you'd better see it clearly first!"
As she raised her delicate little hand, a soft white light from the True Sight Gem in her palm was projected onto the library inside the door...and the intermediate apprentice Will who was leaning on the door!
The picture that was normal one second, suddenly turned upside down the next second, and what everyone saw was a picture that was extremely terrifying.
The wooden door just now has disappeared, and what is unfolding in front of everyone is a strange black crack on the wall. The end of the black crack leads to a portrait hanging on the wall. In the portrait, figures are shaking, and several strange black shadows are sneaking around.
Looking this way in a suspicious manner.
Will, who was originally standing by the door, also turned pale under the white light, and his skin seemed to be translucent, giving people a ghostly and terrifying look.
"I've opened the door, come in quickly!" Will turned his head and urged everyone with a smile.
His face was as pale as if it had been smeared with a thick layer of stone powder, and two bright red blood tears were clearly visible. As he smiled sinisterly, the muscles on his face were twisted and ferocious, giving him the look of a monster from another world.
Damn it, when did Will get dropped?
The next second, without any explanation, three witchcrafts of different colors hit "Will".
Shadow Arrow Technique!
Ice dagger!
Electric claw technique!
The energy intensity is between 12 and 15 degrees. Although the intensity is not high, the attack is still swift. Although the fake Will noticed that something was wrong, he had no time to avoid it and was hit in the body by the rapid witchcraft of the three apprentices.
superior.
The bone shield that originally lingered outside Will's body seemed to not exist at all, and was directly penetrated by the witchcraft. The fake Will screamed hoarsely after being beaten by three witchcraft, and the voice he made was hoarse and cold, not like a human voice at all.
. And not even a trace of flesh and blood could be seen in the scattered body fragments of "him". Instead, they slowly melted into the air like energy matter.
Fake Will's knowledge was exposed, and his body appearance suddenly changed. His entire body instantly turned into a transparent energy substance, quietly blending into the wall beside him.
The second round of attacks by the three wizard apprentices failed one after another, only punching a large hole in the wooden wall, revealing the completely dark space inside.
A stream of cold air blew out from inside, and several people in front of it couldn't help but shudder.
"Damn it, it's a spirit!" Senior apprentice Warren cursed angrily: "Our attack just now was not enough and we didn't really hurt it. Everyone will be quiet later..."
Before he finished speaking, fluorescent lights flashed on the nearby wall, and a transparent humanoid figure emerged half of the body from it. Its sharp claws scratched hard on Warren's left arm.
"ah……"
Warren screamed in pain.
Two witchcrafts shot out, but unfortunately they only hit the old wall with wood chips flying away, and the spirit body had already disappeared.
Warren endured the severe pain and tore off the damaged sleeve. On the side of his left arm, he saw several terrifying claw marks that were deep enough to show the bone. The wound had turned blue-black, and a layer of crystal frost covered the area around the wound.
The flesh and blood was completely frozen, and it was still spreading up and down.
"Damn it, it's a quasi-witch spirit, everyone should be careful!" Warren shouted at the top of his lungs.
