Chapter 372 – Ancient Soul Devouring Demon Swamp
Chapter 372 – Ancient Soul Devouring Demon Swamp
Saul didn’t look back the whole way, he just pulled Agu when he was unsteady on his feet.
There was no longer the sound of tentacles pumping behind them, and it seemed that after Anu, they lost the target they were going to attack.
The two of them stumbled all the way, not even daring to speak, and rushed hard to the palace.
The white gates of the palace opened silently as the two stepped back onto the ground, as if something was welcoming them in.
Thor did not linger in the little bit of empty space in front of the palace, but walked through the gate and into the palace without hesitation.
Agu naturally followed him closely.
After entering the palace, there was a circular hall, and at the end of the hall was an archway, behind which another circular hall was attached.
One hall was connected to the other, one to the other, with no end in sight.
It was like two opposing mirrors, and the images inside were endless.
It looked eerie here, and from the outside, the palace wasn’t this big.
But it was quiet here.
Just like when they had just stepped into the Dead Season.
The gate closed automatically as soon as the two entered.
There were no windows here, and the room immediately dimmed before the two as they entered.
However, there were candle lamps that were burning around the hall, barely bringing in dim light.
The palace seemed safe for the time being.
“Poof!”
Agu knelt down to Thor.
After Saul reminded them that the magic would attract the tentacles, it also occurred to Agu that he could have one person attract the tentacles so that the other could escape.
But at the last moment, he hesitated.
In that situation just now, Saul didn’t have time to come over and recover the consciousness body, and if the container was destroyed, he didn’t know if he would die along with it.
Agu he …… can t die yet.
Therefore, Agu, who clearly reacted faster than An, did not make the same choice as An.
Saul did not immediately pay attention to Agu, his eyes were deep and he was checking the diary in his head.
The white pages were flipping rapidly, almost instantly coming to the last few pages.
When Saul saw the only black page that belonged to Anne, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The powerless resignation faded, and icy anger began to haunt his heart.
“Since those creepy humanoids and black tentacles are driving us towards the palace, let me see what’s really here.”
The diary didn’t prompt Saul that he had to enter the palace, but this palace was even able to resist those terrifying black tentacles and bizarre humanoids outside, so it certainly wasn’t simple either.
“Get up.” Saul blandly told Agu to get up.
Agu was still a bit weak, but seeing that Saul didn’t seem that angry, he was more or less relieved.
He stood up and struggled to find a patch.
“Master, I’m afraid those outside are the same Soul Devouring Demon Swamp as Komo.”
Saul nodded, “But they are obviously too powerful than Little Algae.”
Little Algae fell into a deep sleep after eating the cryptocrystalline substance here, while the Soul Devouring Demon Bogs here were so powerful, was it also due to the cryptocrystalline substance?
How many souls had the Soul Devouring Demon Marsh, which could grow to be as huge as a small mountain, eaten?
“This is just one of the elf’s settlements, and it’s surprising that there’s such a terrifying existence here. Places related to elves are really dangerous.”
Saul took a deep breath, looked up at the ring-like hall in front of him, and said in a low voice, “It’s all coming in, let’s go take a look.”
He felt a familiar aura here, accompanied by his intuition, and together they called him to go.
……
On the lawn dotted with irregular white houses, Cassillo, who had been sitting on the ground with a hesitant face and knees, suddenly jumped up.
“It’s on fire, it’s on fire, it’s on fire ……” she yelled desperately, dancing around in place. “What’s she mad about again?” Monroe frowned in disgust as he looked back to Konza, “Saul has come in, but he obviously didn’t solve our problem. Now he’s under attack in the forest and I don’t know if he’s still alive ……”
Hearing this, Mark looked up in the direction Saul had left and said hesitantly, “Why don’t I go look for him.”
Kong Sha sneered, her eyes glancing over, “Since you’re worried about him, when those two bodyguards left just now, why didn’t you follow along? It’s been so long before you thought of going to look for someone, are you really going to look for someone? Or are you going to find something else?”
Monroe looked over suspiciously, and Mark immediately shut his mouth.
“He must be dead, he must be dead! We’ll end up like him, turned to ash and become their sustenance!”
Tired of dancing, Cassillo sat down on the ground.
Monroe let out a low sigh and covered his face with his hands, “I don’t think we can escape. What kind of treasure did you guys take? I’m really begging you guys, give it back. Otherwise we really can’t escape, we’ll die here.”
Saying this, Monroe lowered his hand again, “Maybe dying would be a good thing ……”
Suddenly, the earth trembled, and several nervous sorcerer apprentices all jumped up and looked at the direction of the forest in shock.
They saw black tentacles growing out of the sky under the dark gray mountains in the distance.
The tentacles twisted continuously, and the four sorcerer apprentices felt chills in their hearts and trembling in their legs even as they looked at it from such a distance.
Cassillo flung herself to the ground, her mouth reading something.
Mark gritted his teeth, his voice coming out from the crack of his lips, “Saul what did he do, why did he alert the Ancient Soul Eater Swamp?”
Confessa narrowed her eyes and raised her hand to gently stroke her cheek, “Who knows? He always manages to surprise and startle.”
……
The two raised their guard and peered around the rotunda.
The first hall was undecorated and revealed nothing out of the ordinary, and they quickly stepped into the second hall.
It was exactly the same structure as the first hall, only with a few more chairs.
The chairs fell across the floor as if they were deliberately pushed down by someone.
Saul remembered Mark saying that they had been attacked by the furniture decorating this place and that several apprentices had died before they escaped.
But when he examined the fallen chairs, he did not sense any unusual aura on them.
Of course, he couldn’t fully trust his judgment now. This Elven Valley was bizarre and unusual, and many things did not fit the common sense he had been taught.
After all, great horrors had happened to the elf clan, and the items they had left behind alone could potentially cause people to go crazy, not to mention an entire settlement.
Therefore everything that happened here could not be viewed in the usual way.
Sol next entered a third, fourth hall.
Each hall was decorated exactly the same, but each one had many more things than the previous one.
By the time Saul and Agu came to the fifth hall, it had been furnished with many pieces of furniture and beautiful scrolls on the walls. There were more heavy curtains of satin on both sides of the rotunda.
But when Saul checked behind the curtains, he found that there were still walls and no windows.
If there were no windows, why were there curtains?
Saul glanced back at Agu, but Agu was also filled with doubt.
Although he was also an old ghost of more than a hundred years, he didn’t know much about elves.
It wasn’t until they entered the ninth hall that a dark door finally appeared directly in front of them, while staircases rotating upward appeared to the left and right.
At this point, the distance they had traveled had far exceeded the depth of the palace that could be seen from the outside.
“If we want to continue exploring, it’s time to go up the stairs. But which of these two staircases …… should I choose?”
The staircase on the left looked normal, turning a half arc and not entering the second floor.
The staircase on the right, on the other hand, was very weird.
It was up in the air, growing unchecked like a vine, with no regard for how the person on it was going to walk.
If one followed the stair steps, the middle section of the body would be parallel to the floor, while the last section would even have to be upside down in the air and then disappear into the wall on the right instead of the second floor.
And the otherwise normal staircase on the left, in contrast to the staircase on the right, is even more bizarre.
