77 Chapter 77
The three of them rested at the gate for half an hour before regaining their strength. After eating Dick's herbs, Lelly felt much better.
"Well, let's hurry up and enter the castle. There are still many difficulties waiting for us ahead."
Dick said to Edward and Lelly. He pushed the gate open and walked in first.
When they entered the dark castle, the three of them were stunned. Although they had already known that this place was not an ordinary place, they did not expect that everything here was so similar to No. 1002548 Green-Hand Village.
Even the road in front of them was the same as the road of the village's exit. Dick could even find his wooden house according to the route here.
"Have you noticed it? This place is so strange. It seems to be the place we have been before."
Lelly said unconsciously.
"Don't be silly. This is the same layout as our No. 1002548 Green-Hand Village. Look at the roads and houses here. Although they are broken, all the layout is the same as that of our Green-Hand Village! It's so..."
Edward gave Lelly a push and stammered. He was too shocked to continue.
Dick sighed and continued.
"It's like the damaged No. 1002548 Green-Hand Village, isn't it?"
Dick squatted down and gently touched the ground. The soil told him that this land had existed for at least thousands of years, even longer than these buildings.
"It seems that we need to reevaluate this place. This place is definitely not as simple as the secret place that we thought at the beginning. I think this may be the previous No. 1002548 Green-Hand Village."
Dick stood up and said seriously.
"What do you mean by the previous? Is there another No. 1002548 Green-Hand Village before us in this world?"
Edward asked curiously. Shouldn't they be the first group of humans to come here? If not, then what was it that came here before them?
"We are not the first batch to come here. Maybe other people from other worlds have also come here before us. Otherwise, where did the skeletons come from?"
Dick said slowly, feeling a little creepy.
"This should be the last No. 1002548 Green-Hand Village, but because they failed to resist the attack of the sky envoy, everyone's wooden house was damaged and finally the whole Green-Hand Village became like this."
"As for those human beings whose wooden houses were damaged and have become exiles can't enter this dark castle again, because they have lost their residence as human beings, so they have become skeletons, which are driven by the dark castle, wandering outside."
Edward and Lelly felt a chill run down their spines.
Thinking of the crazy and painful look of skeletons outside the dark castle, thinking that their souls would be imprisoned outside the dark castle forever after it was destroyed, a chill came from the depths of his soul.
"This is too terrifying. We must complete this task. I would rather die than become the skeletons outside the castle! Let alone my soul will be confined here!"
Edward groaned in pain. He shook his head hard, trying to expel the shadows of skeletons from his mind. But the more he did so, the clearer the blood-red skeletons became in his mind.
"Calm down. These are just our conjectures. Our fate will not be like theirs. We must complete this task!"
Dick said, putting his hand on Edward's shoulder.
He needed to give his partners some confidence. Now that they had just entered the dark castle, it was definitely not the time for them to retreat.
If they were discouraged here, then the following tasks would be impossible.
"Dick is right. We shouldn't be depressed. The scene in front of us can't be our future. We have to work harder to complete the task. We can't become the previous No. 1002548 Green-Hand Village!"
Lelly raised his head and said firmly.
The three of them pulled themselves together and walked along the street towards the village.
Along the way, they saw many evil apes jumping between the houses, but these magical beasts didn't seem to have any intention of attacking them. They just followed them all the way as if they were watching their movements.
"These guys are so annoying. I always feel like I'm being watched. Can we kill them first?"
Lelly couldn't help but raise his hammer and said to Dick.
"No, we are here to complete the task, not to kill the magical beasts. If you want to fight, there will be a bigger one to fight you soon."
Dick stopped Lelly. The ground under his feet shook slowly, bringing him the information in front of him.
In front of them was a huge evil ape.
Compared to the other evil apes, this one was seven meters tall. The muscles and hair on its arms glowed with an iron-gray luster, and the power contained within it could not help but make people tremble.
"Magical beast: mutated demonic ape. Grade: LV17. Blood vitality: 1500, strength: 850, energy: 500, defense: 500, agility:120. Talent: strength madness, talent: shock. Explosive rate: 5%."
Dick stopped and whispered to his friends.
"Be careful, this is the mutated demonic beast. It is so powerful that we can't fight it head-on. I'll help him to attract his attention, and you two should try your best to fight. When I send a signal, you must jump off the ground anyway."
Edward and Lelly nodded at the same time. Although they didn't know how Dick got the information about the magical beast, they didn't ask much in the battle.
The mutated demonic ape also found Dick and the others. It didn't rush over immediately, but raised its two arms and smashed them hard to the ground.
Just as it fell to the group, Dick shouted, "Jump!"
Edward and Lelly jumped up at the same time, only to see the ground under their feet break like a cobweb the moment they jumped up.
