Chapter 766: Chapter 766: Whispers within the Mansion
Ascending the mountain path filled with deathly plant-life.
At the sight of the silhouette of the ancient mansion, the mountain trail before them split into a crossroads.
Wooden signs pointing in different directions were placed on it.
[Caves], [Lake], [Forest], [Ruins].
The path in the middle led straight to the ancestral mansion, the place with the densest Death Qi.
The mansion was completely different from the other four derivative areas.
Just standing here, Han Dong could faintly hear the anguished cries coming from the mansion.
The demons who were slain by the scythe and imprisoned here seed to still be enduring a kind of torture, while being permanently trapped within.
Having lost their freedom and reason, it made them more insane.
Miss Lisa looked at the silhouette of the mansion in the distance and whispered:
“According to so feedback from higher-level Dead, the demons in the mansion are far superior in [Purity] than in other areas… I’ve never sought Death Crystals in the mansion.”
“Purity?”
“Um…Captain Alex assigns the Demons who die under his hand to four different scenes according to their attributes. At the sa ti, the Demons with the highest affinity to death, or those with the most special traits are kept inside the mansion.
Shall we explore areas other than the mansion?”
From Lisa’s words, it was easy to sense her fear.
It was understandable…after all, death in death ant total disappearance.
“We choose the mansion.
If we can’t beat the demons inside, I’ll get you out of there.
As for your need for Crystals, I can directly apply for so supplies from Captain Alex for you.”
Now that Han Dong had spoken this way, as a temporary maid, Lisa had nothing more to say.
As the two stepped into the crossroads.
Next to the signpost, wisps of Death Qi imdiately gathered into a shadow shrouded in a cloak.
All teams looking for crystals in the mansion and its surrounding areas must pass the shadow’s inspection in advance.
A low voice emanated from the shadow:
“Blaspher Lisa, you have completed basic exploration of the derivative areas, this exploration will not be limited to area… recomnd [Lake-2] or [Forest-3].
We do not recomnd entering [Ancestor’s Mansion].”
Having been warned, Miss Lisa turned to look at Han Dong, who was sitting on his heavy sword.
However, there was no hesitation in Han Dong’s eyes, looking straight ahead.
In that case, Lisa took out a used-up Crystal Stone from her bodice,”We choose [Ancestor’s Mansion]! This is the Crystal Stone used up last ti.”
The shadow disappeared as soon as it received the Crystal Stone.
Han Dong asked curiously, “Huh? A used-up Crystal Stone is also a pass?”
“Yes…Captain Alex does not allow us to frequently enter the mansion area to get crystals.
In addition to each person being allowed to carry only one Crystal at a ti, he also requires us to step into the mansion area again after the Death Qi inside the used-up Crystal is used-up,”
Han Dong committed this setting to mory, “Understood.”
Half an hour later.
The two were standing in front of an exceptionally large mansion, constructed in typical Renaissance architectural style.
Semicircular arches, thick stone walls, circular dos, horizontal eaves.
But one design elent of the mansion was extraordinarily discordant and weird-‘no window design’.
The entire mansion was like a huge prison, the only entrance and exit was the mansion’s abyssal mouth-like front gate (completely open) … A rich Death Qi was continuously spilling out from inside. At the sa ti, one could clearly hear a mix of various demons’ voices, seemingly deliberately luring people into the abyss of death.
The Dead Demon’s confined here…the mansion as a prison, indeed seems consistent with the setting of Tar Prison.
Staring at the front entrance, Lisa’s emotions were also being tested, this place was several tis more dangerous than any area she had been to before.
And, such a design was very bizarre, different from the open environnt of other derivative areas.
Once in, it would be very difficult to get out.
anwhile, Han Dong received a corresponding warning from the Scarlet Count.
“Your human captain tier existence is truly terrifying, actually killing so many beings comparable to this Count… Speaking of that, the pitiful creatures imprisoned inside the mansion are not simple, you know.
Generally speaking, we such distinguished mature deviant demons do not make such ‘indecent’ noises.
It’s very likely that these creatures, who are tornted by death, have completely lost their minds and gone insane…to so extent, they are even more dangerous.
I think I can guess what you want to do, don’t be greedy… otherwise, there will be no one to collect your corpses.”
“Don’t worry, the chanism here itself doesn’t allow
to be greedy, today we’ll just try it out…”
In the blink of an eye, Han Dong was at the mansion door, waving to the stunned Miss Lisa.
Seeing Han Dong with no change of expression at the odd ancestral mansion, Lisa even forgot for a mont that Han Dong was still a rookie who had just arrived here for the first ti.
As the two entered the mansion gate together.
It was not the lobby of the mansion that they ca to, but instead directly onto a corridor about thirty ters long, wide enough for three people to walk side by side…behind them was now a closed stone wall, the exit already out of sight.
Just as Han Dong stepped over the threshold, he could feel a subtle spatial fluctuation.
“Huh? Spatial distortion… Just as Miss Lisa said, every ti one cos to the mansion area, the internal structure will be ssed up.”
Now it was ti to officially enter the ‘crystal search’ phase.
According to Miss Lisa’s experience, they needed to interact with the ‘scene’, the Crystal could be hiding anywhere.
Under a conspicuous stone, in a tree hole, inside a creature, and so on.
Of course.
Touching anything ‘eye-catching’ in the scene could attract the [Dark Side]’s dead demons.
Spiritual perceivers might be able to detect abnormalities in advance, but they can’t avoid the arrival of demons.
Inside the simple corridor.
There are only three things that were quite noticeable:
1. A twisted vase placed in a wall recess.
2. A crystal kerosene lamp hanging in the middle of the passage.
3. An abstract painting hung on the right wall – ‘Morning Light Wheat Field’.
There may be a Crystal stone condensed inside the vase, and the sa with the kerosene lamp.
There might be a secret chanism behind the painting, and there might be a Crystal in the corresponding secret room.
Because this was Lisa’s first ti here, she wasn’t sure how to interact with these props and how high the success rate was… and due to the spatial distortion, she didn’t know where the exit was.
While the two were thinking of a strategy.
At that mont.
Co on~ co here~
A whisper rang in Han Dong’s ears; it was a woman’s voice, full of primal seduction, each word seemingly able to provoke n’s deepest desires.
As Han Dong cast a glance at the twisted vase in the wall recess.
A perfect impeccable jade arm had inexplicably grown out from the mouth of the vase, beckoning him with her fingers…
