Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 527 - 304: The Castle Master’s Game_2

Seeing that Luo Heng still wanted to speak, Lu Yu interrupted, "Let's take it one step at a time. First, choose a direction and continue moving forward."

"Go to the right." Chen Qingyun said instinctively.

"To the left. I think Sister Qing and the captain would go left." Luo Heng said.

Lu Yu scratched his head somewhat helplessly, thinking: If only Yu Xiaoman were here at this time, let her lead the way. She would definitely find the correct direction.

"Sigh~" Lu Yu sighed, took a small arrow out of the Storage Ring, and said, "Let's leave it to luck. Whichever direction the arrow points, that's the way we'll go."

The two also stopped arguing and looked at Lu Yu. Lu Yu tossed the small arrow into the air.

Clang~ The small arrow landed, pointing to the left.

Lu Yu picked up the small arrow and put it back into the Storage Ring, saying, "Let's go."

Luo Heng looked at Chen Qingyun, smiled triumphantly, and said, "Didn't I say we should go left? You argued with me, but I know the captain so well. How could I not know which way he would go?"

Chen Qingyun remained silent, not bickering with Luo Heng. Seeing his demeanor, Luo Heng also lost interest in bickering.

The three of them headed toward the left fork, and after passing through a long, deep, pitch-black corridor, they entered a wide open square.

It was an open-air square. Lu Yu turned his head to look at the surroundings. The position they were in now should be at the waist level of the castle.

The bottom of the castle consisted of various tall buildings, with each corridor towering over ten meters high. Above these corridors and halls that made up the bottom half was the open-air sky square.

When the three of them came up from below, the first thing they saw was the true castle in the middle of the square.

The giant castle built by the Demon Spirit clan had a base more like a fortress, with the actual castle built atop the fortress.

The three looked at the mostly empty square and headed towards the entrance of the second-tier castle.

"All the doors here are closed. Could it be that the captain and Sister Qing didn't come here?" Luo Heng noticed that the doors of the castle were tightly shut, unlike the ones below that had been forcefully opened.

Chen Qingyun became serious and said, "It's possible. They may have gone the other way, or else they would have left some traces here."

"Let's go check it out first." Lu Yu said.

Since they were already this high, they couldn't just give up exploring because they didn't see any traces left by others.

Chen Qingyun and Luo Heng also wanted to explore here, considering how unique the castle above the castle appeared. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Besides, they had just temporarily not seen any traces left by others. Perhaps there would be new discoveries once they entered the castle.

The three exchanged glances and headed for the castle door. As they pondered how to open it, the door automatically opened.

Out walked a wolf-headed man dressed in a butler's uniform. The three stopped, and Luo Heng, somewhat perplexed and uncertain, whispered, "What kind of creature is that?"

Chen Qingyun carefully observed, searching his mind for foreign races that matched the appearance of the creature before him.

Lu Yu's eyes moved slightly, hesitantly saying, "It doesn't seem alive, more like a puppet."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyun had an epiphany and excitedly said, "I got it. This is a magic puppet created by the Demon Spirit clan. Since they're not skilled in close combat, they made puppets to compensate for their weakness in hand-to-hand fighting."

The wolf-headed figure dressed like a butler stood inside the door after opening it, silently watching them without any movement, as if waiting for something.

"Magic puppet?" Lu Yu asked, "Are magic puppets strong?"

Chen Qingyun thought for a moment before replying, "Very strong. A puppet created by the Demon Spirit clan would be formidable enough to handle tough enemies since it compensates for their lack of hand-to-hand combat skills."

"But that was during the height of the Demon Spirit Empire, which has been extinct for thousands of years. The Demon Spirit clan has disappeared for over a millennium, so the remaining puppets' strength might not be as great."

"Especially after the species the Demon Spirit clan enslaved revolted, the puppets evolved to take over some of their functions and became tools for the Demon Spirit clan."

"Who cares! Let's fight first and talk later." Luo Heng pulled out his gauntlets and charged toward the wolf-headed butler inside the door.

Luo Heng's seemingly reckless actions were tinged with caution; he didn't exert his full strength and was prepared to retreat at any moment.

Bang~ Luo Heng's fist was caught by the wolf-headed butler with one hand. Shocked, Luo Heng quickly withdrew.

The wolf butler didn't stop his retreat. He looked up at the three and said, "The master has prepared a gift for the guests who arrive. All you have to do is complete the master's game to receive the master's carefully prepared gifts."

Hearing the wolf butler speak, Lu Yu was somewhat surprised, especially since it spoke in the language of the Divine Martial Realm, which was even more intriguing.

"Master?" Chen Qingyun, keenly aware of this word, asked, "Where is your master?"

The wolf butler said, "The master left the Demon Spirit castle a long time ago, but before leaving, the master instructed that any guests entering the castle who complete the master's game could receive a gift left by the master."

"What kind of gift?" Luo Heng asked curiously.

The wolf butler turned and gestured inside the door, saying, "Please follow me."

"What should we do? Leave or go in?" Chen Qingyun asked Lu Yu.
