Chapter 296: The Old Castle and the Undead

Chapter 291 – Ancient Castle and the Undead

Having just stepped out of that eerie path, without waiting for the crowd to breathe a sigh of relief, they were startled by the eerie old castle surrounded by bats in front of them.

The secret realm was mostly filled with various natural environments, and the monsters encountered were Goblins, Ogres, and other monsters.

But it is not that there are no buildings, only once encountered, you have to be careful, no matter whether it is a relic or what, often represents danger, not to mention in front of the eyes of this almost put the word haunted paradise on the ancient castle.

“What’s with the heavy stench of decay?” There were rangers among the trainees, and they were very self-conscious to walk at the front, at this time, when the small wind blew, they smelled the smell coming from the castle, and almost vomited on the spot.

However, the putrid smell could bring not only nausea, but also unknown dangers, so the faces of the trainees had become gloomy, instead, Sylvia revealed a hint of a smile, which made Robert on the side a bit shaky, but he couldn’t do anything about it, so he became more and more entangled.

“Everyone get ready for battle.” There was no lack of trainees with amazing intuition, at this moment, they had already sensed that the situation was not good, and began to remind the trainees beside them, but their reminders only made the atmosphere become even more tense.

Because Sylvia didn’t say a word, and Robert acted as a cold-faced loyal dog, no one at all stepped forward to organize the battle, and the other cadets were not prestigious enough, so they could only pull familiar people to form their own teams, the effect was naturally needless to say, better than nothing.

Sensing the danger of the crowd have alerted, and weapons in the hands, Owen is no exception, took out a puppet out.

Full of bad taste triangle eyes and grin to the root of the ear full of sharp teeth mouth, with high-grade tuxedo and elegant high hat, as well as the hand of the black umbrella, giving people a very strange feeling, both elegant, but also evil, even if a little scary can not help but look at a couple of times, like a fairy tale full of evil charm of the villain, the most important thing is that it is very match with the eerie old castle in front of them.

Many trainees unconsciously stayed away from Owen, fearing that this one was an undercover agent sent from the opposite side, otherwise who in their right mind would create such a puppet, on the contrary, Sylvia nodded slightly, agreeing with his aesthetics.

Because it was very dim here, Owen and the others didn’t realize that there were large and small cemeteries everywhere around them, at this moment, the cemeteries near them were just like ringing the wake-up bell, a set of undead that couldn’t sleep peacefully had climbed up, moving their stiff muscles and bones while encircling towards them.

“It’s the undead!” A ranger with half-elf bloodline spotted the enemy at the first time and reacted very quickly by shooting a feathered arrow in his hand, hitting the target accurately, but the result made his face look more and more ugly.

The undead seem to have decayed flesh and skin, but in fact, under the influence of the power of death, they are much tougher than normal people, and it is very difficult for swords and knives to pierce through them, not to mention the feather arrows, and the undead who have no vitals are almost immune to bows and arrows, and even if they are stuck all over the place, it is fine, unless the power is so great that the undead’s body is shattered, or else it’s just an extra piece of decorative material, so if there is no other way to do the next battle, all the archers will be almost ruined! So if there is no other way, all the archers will be almost useless in the next battle.

The undead that surrounded from all sides made the trainees almost desperate, because the number was too much, densely packed with almost hundreds of them.

“Damn, who brought holy water!” A trainee of the swordsman profession also saw this scene, at this moment, he looked down at the well-maintained steel sword in his hand, and roared with both some powerlessness and despair.

At least he was a cadet of Academy City, as long as he wasn’t a scum, he could learn about most monsters from the basic disciplines, including the undead.

So they knew very well that if there was no means of targeting them, the only way to solve it was to completely destroy the undead’s body.

If they were unlucky enough to encounter a ghost, they could only hope that the spell casters among their teammates were powerful enough.

The problem was that although they were called geniuses, they were limited by their age, and at the moment, they could at most activate their fighting qi to master magic, so they could still make do with ordinary enemies, and could even play a good match, but when faced with the undead who were nearly immortal and didn’t know what to fear, they would inevitably have their hands full.

Now is not the academy’s test, failure at most retake the test, but where there is negligence, they will have no future to speak of. Fortunately, someone really prepared holy water, these people rushed to apply holy water to their weapons, more or less relieved, only Sylvia frowned in disgust.

The effect of the holy water wasn’t permanent, it would be troublesome if it dried up in a while, plus the speed of the undead wasn’t as slow as expected, in order to make sure that the formation wasn’t rushed and disorganized, the trainees of melee professions took the initiative to rush up to meet the battle.

It had to be said that although there was some lack of experience, the courage was still commendable.

The weapon coated with holy water dispersed the power of death on the undead body, letting the rotting skin and rotten flesh become soft again, a sword chopped up the pus and juice splashed everywhere, the putrid smell almost turned into a sticky mist on the face, let a group of trainees who were still hot-blooded just now became green on the spot, many people chopped and chopped a mouthful of spray on the face of the undead, and then looked at the play of their own sprayed should be a little bit of slippery down to the undead’s wide-open mouth.

It can be said that there is no killing power, insulting extremely strong, that is, the undead generosity, still not tight, replaced by human warriors, absolutely spit you a face believe it or not.

This disgusting scene dispelled Owen’s idea of getting involved, at the same time he was still observing, because Sylvia acted he had not yet understood.

Using trainees as cannon fodder in the secret realm was tacitly recognized by the Academy City, because these trainees needed more resources if they wanted to grow, and simply relying on the Academy City obviously wouldn’t work.

In this way, gaining harvests through those noble cadets with adventures became the best option.

As for the dangers encountered in this process, it was a normal price to pay, no matter who was prepared for it.

But it didn’t mean that someone like Sylvia had an ulterior motive to pit everyone to death without paying any price.

Academy City allowed some casualties to occur, but would not tolerate such a situation, otherwise they would all learn like this, and there would still be a few cadets left in the training, so Sylvia, even as the daughter of the Grand Duke, would have to give Academy City a satisfactory explanation afterward.

Right, just an explanation, as long as the price is right, the Academy City will not pursue.

A very cruel fact, but very realistic, all lives are labeled with a price, the name brand factory Sylvia is very expensive, others are cheap.

In spite of this, the college city’s asking price is not low, after all, not only is the problem of human life, the most important thing is the prestige of the college city and face affected, this is more expensive, even if it is the Archduke’s daughter wants to pay out to let the college city satisfied with the price will be very painful, and even affect their own position in the family, the price can not be nothing but high.

But Sylvia still did it, the only reason is that the harvest is greater than the payment.

So the question is, in front of the old castle in the end what, can let Sylvia choose to bet?
And with Owen’s strength, the ancient castle in front of him surprisingly brought him no small amount of pressure.

You have to know that Owen now is not compared to the past, from the Northland has begun to accumulate progress value, has completed a fifty progress value exchange and many targeted exchange, in addition to the realm did not reach the legend, in any aspect is not the general professional can be compared.

So where he could feel pressure, even if it wasn’t a Legend, it wasn’t far off.
