Chapter 628 Traps and Secrets in the Dark Castle

After hearing the alarm, Chu Tian and others quickly ran towards the source of the sound. The passages in this castle are intricate, like a huge maze, and every turn may hide a mystery.

"Why is this shabby castle full of twists and turns like a maze? Do the people in the dark force like to play hide-and-seek?" Zhang Meng complained as he ran. His strong body seemed a little clumsy in the narrow passage.

"Stop complaining. Be careful not to trigger any mechanism under your feet." Ye Li reminded from behind, her eyes fixed on the surrounding walls and the ground, afraid of missing anything suspicious.

Suddenly, black flames gushed out from the passage ahead. The flames carried a strong dark soul power and were extremely hot. Wherever they passed, the ground was burned black.

"Wow, they are going to roast us into charcoal!" a student exclaimed.

Qin Feng reacted extremely quickly. He swung the Dragon Shadow Sword, and the soul power on the Dragon Shadow Sword shone brightly, forming a shield that blocked the attack of the black flames.

"Everyone, follow me!" Qin Feng shouted, and he slowly moved forward under the pressure of the flames.

Everyone followed Qin Feng and carefully passed through the area of ​​black flames. Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, the ground beneath their feet suddenly began to shake.

"Oh no, is this an earthquake?" Chu Tian said with a frown.

I saw cracks appearing on the ground, and black mucus kept pouring out of the cracks. The mucus emitted a pungent smell and carried corrosive soul power.

"This slime doesn't look easy to deal with, everyone jump up!" Ye Li shouted.

Everyone used their soul power to jump into the air to avoid the erosion of the slime. However, the air was not safe either. Many black tentacles suddenly stretched out from the ceiling and wrapped around them.

"Oh my, this dark castle is really full of tricks!" Zhang Meng said while dodging the tentacles' attack.

Chu Tian gathered the power of thunder in his hands and blasted towards the tentacles. The power of thunder blew the tentacles to pieces, but more tentacles stretched out again.

"This is not a solution. We have to find the hub that controls these mechanisms." Qin Feng said.

Just as everyone was struggling with the tentacles, Qin Feng discovered a rune on the wall that was faintly glowing. With an idea in his mind, he rushed towards the rune, swung the Dragon Shadow Sword, and shattered the rune.

As the runes were shattered, the tentacles stopped attacking, the shaking of the ground gradually stopped, and the black slime slowly shrank back into the ground.

"Qin Feng, you are really our savior!" a student said gratefully.

"Don't be happy too soon. There must be more dangers in this castle." Qin Feng said cautiously.

They continued to move forward and came to a huge hall. There were all kinds of strange statues in the hall. These statues looked very scary. Some had three heads and some had eyes in their mouths.

"These statues look so scary, are they going to suddenly come alive?" a student said timidly.

"Shh, don't say that, you might really be right." Ye Li said softly.

At this moment, the eyes of the statues suddenly flashed red.

"Oh no, it really came true!" Zhang Meng widened his eyes.

The statues slowly moved and surrounded Chu Tian and the others. Every step they took left a deep footprint on the ground, showing their huge weight.

"Everyone, spread out and don't get surrounded by them!" Chu Tian shouted.

The crowd quickly dispersed and began to fight with the statues. The bodies of these statues were extremely hard, and ordinary soul attacks hitting them were like tickling them.

Qin Feng jumped onto the back of a statue and stabbed the Dragon Shadow Sword towards its neck. However, the Dragon Shadow Sword only left a shallow mark on the statue's neck.

"Why is this thing so hard?" Qin Feng said with a frown.

Zhang Meng let the giant rock bear martial spirit burst out with all its strength, he rushed towards a statue, and then slapped the statue hard with his bear paw. The statue was shaken by the slap, but it did not fall down.

"It seems we have to think of another way." Chu Tian said.

He flew into the air and began to observe the statues carefully. He found that the eyes of the statues seemed to be their weaknesses, because every time the eyes were attacked, the statues would have obvious reactions.

"Everyone, focus on attacking their eyes!" Chu Tian shouted.

After hearing Chu Tian's words, everyone attacked the statue's eyes. For a moment, all kinds of soul power light shot towards the statue's eyes.

After the statues were attacked in the eyes, they began to panic, waving their arms and striking around.

Qin Feng seized an opportunity and stabbed the Dragon Shadow Sword fiercely into the eye of a statue. The statue let out a dull roar and then fell to the ground with a bang.

The other statues were knocked down one after another under the joint attack of the crowd.

"Huh, finally got rid of these guys." Zhang Meng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Just when everyone thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, a secret door suddenly appeared on one side of the hall. The secret door slowly opened, and a powerful dark soul power came out from inside.

"There must be something important in here, maybe a clue about the leader of the dark forces." Ye Li said.

Everyone walked into the secret door carefully. Inside the secret door was a secret room, and inside the secret room was a huge crystal ball. There was a black shadow swimming in the crystal ball.

"What is this?" Qin Feng asked curiously.

"I don't know either, but I feel that this crystal ball is not simple." Chu Tian said.

Ye Li approached the crystal ball and wanted to take a closer look. Suddenly, the black shadow in the crystal ball rushed towards her, trying to rush into her body.

Ye Li was startled and stepped back quickly, but the black shadow was so fast that it was about to enter her body.

At this critical moment, Chu Tian released a force of thunder and forced the black shadow back.

"This thing looks dangerous, everyone stay away from it." Chu Tian said.

They began to look for clues about the crystal ball and the black shadow in the secret room. On the wall of the secret room, they found some ancient text.

"Ye Li, take a look at these words. Can you understand them?" Chu Tian said to Ye Li.

Ye Li walked closer to the wall and studied the words carefully. After a while, her face became very solemn.

"These words record the origin of this crystal ball. This crystal ball is a container used by the dark forces to seal a powerful dark soul. This dark soul possesses extremely powerful power. If released, it will bring great disaster to the martial arts world." Ye Li said.

"Then we have to find a way to take this crystal ball away and prevent the dark forces from taking advantage of this dark soul." Qin Feng said.

However, when they wanted to pick up the crystal ball, they found that there was a powerful dark soul shield around the crystal ball and they could not get close at all.

"What should we do?" a student asked anxiously.

Chu Tian thought for a while, then said: "We can try to use our purification soul power to break this shield."

Everyone gathered their purifying soul powers together and attacked the crystal ball's shield. After some effort, the shield finally cracked.

As the shield broke, the crystal ball also lost its protection. Qin Feng carefully picked up the crystal ball and placed it in a special container.

"Okay, now we can continue looking for clues about the leader of the dark forces." Chu Tian said.

They walked out of the secret room and continued to explore the dark castle. Deep in the castle, they found a study room filled with various books and scrolls.

"There must be something we want in here." Ye Li said.

They began to search the study carefully, and in an ancient scroll, they found some information about the leader of the dark forces.

"It turns out that the leader of the dark forces is hiding in a place called the Dark Abyss. That place is the source of dark soul power and is full of dangers." Ye Li said.

"No matter how dangerous it is, we must find him and stop his evil plan." Qin Feng said firmly.

Just as they were about to leave the dark castle, a huge roar suddenly came from the castle.

"Oh no, this castle may collapse!" Chu Tian said.

They hurriedly ran towards the exit of the castle. In the crisis of the castle collapse, can they escape successfully? How will they face the challenge of the dark abyss? All this is still unknown.
