Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 526 - 304: The Game of the Castle Master of Demon Spirits

Seeing the two people appear on the other side of the railing, Luo Heng's face darkened slightly. He turned to Chen Qingyun and shouted, "Hurry up and think of a way to get me out."

Upon hearing Luo Heng's voice, Chen Qingyun did not act immediately. He was still unsure if the person in front of him was really Luo Heng or if he was being controlled.

Through the railing, Chen Qingyun looked at Luo Heng and asked, "Where's Luo Feng? Why are you the only one here?"

Luo Heng said with a frustrated face, "It's so unlucky. Originally, my brother and I were together, but when passing through the corridor, a wall suddenly fell and trapped my brother on the other side."

"Everything here is problematic. I can't even break the wall, and I can't break these railings either. Hurry up and find a way to get me out!"

Lu Yu and Chen Qingyun exchanged a glance, guessing that it might be the wall that had just opened and separated the two.

Chen Qingyun asked, "Did you follow the Spirit Stone shells on the ground to come in?"

Luo Heng calmed down, understanding that Chen Qingyun was confirming his identity. In the external battlefield, there are many bizarre creatures that can often possess companions' bodies unnoticed.

Once this happens and a companion fails to notice the anomaly, it could lead to total extermination. Luo Heng didn't blame Chen Qingyun for doubting him. If he were in his shoes, he would be cautious too.

"Yes, Luo Feng and I entered the castle together and found marks left by others on the ground. We followed them all the way here and were then separated by a wall."

"I wanted to go back and find my brother, but unexpectedly fell into this cell and can't get out now," Luo Heng said.

Next, Chen Qingyun asked him a few things only two people would know, and Luo Heng answered them all. Chen Qingyun turned to Lu Yu, nodded, and said, "He seems fine."

Lu Yu relied on his spiritual power to sense Luo Heng's mental fluctuations and didn't find anything unusual, so they both believed this was indeed Luo Heng. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Of course, there might be abnormal fluctuations Lu Yu couldn't sense.

"We will try to get you out now," Chen Qingyun said.

Luo Heng held the cell's railing and reminded them, "These railings are very sturdy. I can't even leave a mark on them. Otherwise, I would have already smashed them and gotten out."

Chen Qingyun looked at Lu Yu, and without needing him to speak, Lu Yu knew what he wanted to say. Spiritual power covered each railing, searching for the switch to open it.

Suddenly, Lu Yu's expression changed subtly. He stepped forward and grabbed the railing.

Luo Heng saw Lu Yu's movements, crossed his arms, stood still, and said, "It's useless. These railings are very sturdy; probably only Divine Soldiers can cut through them."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw Lu Yu lift the railing.

Chen Qingyun and Luo Heng watched speechlessly as Lu Yu pushed the railing up to the ceiling. Luo Heng was silent for a while, then walked out with his head down, unable to believe simply lifting the railing would let him walk out.

Lu Yu watched the railing retract into the ceiling and glanced at the space where Luo Heng had previously been. He said, "This room might not be a cell at all. Whatever it's used for, it's not for holding people."

Luo Heng expressed his unwillingness to speak, feeling that his intelligence had been insulted.

Chen Qingyun, seeing Luo Heng had come out, quickly said, "Let's quickly find Sister Qingqing and the others first. We can figure out what this room is used for later."

The three retraced their steps to the corridor with the marks, following them forward. After walking for a while, they came to a junction and stopped.

"Which way do we go?" Luo Heng turned to the two and asked.

Chen Qingyun picked a direction and walked inside for a while, then returned.

"There's no marker this way," he told the two.

Luo Heng pointed in the other direction, "So we go this way?"

After saying so, he picked up his foot and walked over there. Not long after walking in, he retreated again, full of doubt, "There are no markers this way either. What's going on?"

Lu Yu glanced at the empty Spirit Stone shells left at the junction and said, "There are two possibilities: the person who left the markers ran out of Spirit Stones, or the markers were taken away."

"Which do you think it is?" Lu Yu looked at Chen Qingyun and asked.

Chen Qingyun pondered for a moment and said, "From the moment we entered here, we've seen a total of 4,361 Spirit Stone markers."

"Without anything special happening and with the right preparations, I usually carry around this many Spirit Stones."

"This time we came out to perform a mission, not expecting to enter the external battlefield, so we didn't prepare Spirit Stones beforehand. It's possible the person leaving the markers ran out."

"But if the person leaving the markers is Sister Qingqing and the captain, I think this possibility is low. The captain manages the public assets of the Blue Peng team and usually has tens of thousands of Spirit Stones in his Storage Ring."

"As for Sister Qingqing, she always leaves ample resources in her Storage Ring, a habit developed after previous events."

"I lean towards thinking the Spirit Stone markers were deliberately taken," Chen Qingyun stated his judgment.

Luo Heng listened eagerly and said, "Are there others here besides us? But why haven't we seen anyone yet? It's one thing not to see them, but wouldn't they leave traces?"

Chen Qingyun said, "I don't know. The most pressing question is, who took the markers? What's their intention? Is it to prevent us from using the markers to find Sister Qingqing, the captain, and the others?"
