Chapter 399 - Ruby Star Stone
Chapter 399 – Ruby Star Stone
"Well, it seems that is the best choice for now," said Wan Lie.
As the wounds that filled his body had started to heal, Wan Lie slowly got up from his position.
"Then I'll leave Xie Lan," said Wan Lie.
"Alright, don't worry," Bai Mo replied that very second.
Walking slowly, Wan Lie followed in the direction where the Voltex was showing a tremor that was getting stronger.
Entering the castle, the atmosphere inside was a little dark. The man continued to move deeper into the castle.
Suddenly his body stiffened and his steps stopped, he felt an evil aura spread around where he was, and was very dense.
Immediately Wan Lie looked around but saw no one.
'Are there any left of them?' he thought as he put on a wary attitude.
Wan Lie resumed his steps, occasionally he glanced around.
The more his feet stepped, the evil aura and the smell of blood mixed with the scorched smell became more and more pronounced, making the man's brow furrow.
Suddenly his black eyes caught smoke billowing in the room not far from where he was, if he guessed maybe it was the main hall of this castle.
Due to his intense curiosity, Wan Lie tried to approach him.
Right at the front of the room, Wan Lie's body froze, a feeling of nausea tickled his stomach and throat.
What his eyes saw were dozens of people gathered in a circle filled with extremely complex runes.
Each of their bodies was connected by a crystal ball that floated directly overhead. The objects that seemed to be continuously filled with people's forms became more and more transparent.
What was this sight he saw? The bodies of those people were naked without a single thread. Even all of their organs were visible from the position Wan Lie was in.
Not only that, he could faintly see the heart of one of them beating very weakly. A very terrible sight.
The runes they were in also occasionally gave off a faint glow making the organs of the bodies more clearly visible.
"What are they doing?" Wan Lie tried to walk closer.
But the man's steps suddenly staggered backward, it turned out that all the bodies that were in the runes now had no faces anymore. No eyebrows, eyes, nose, or mouth. Looks flat and even.
Not only that, after looking closely, it turns out that one by one their organs also disappeared, along with the increasingly filled crystal ball connected to their respective bodies.
There was no mistaking it, the evil aura he felt was emanating from the runes that filled the circle.
Wan Lie looked around again to look for someone who might be able to enter his view. However, unfortunately, there was no one in the room except himself and the dozen or so people in front of him.
For a moment, Wan Lie was confused. The man didn't know what to do.
After struggling with his thoughts for a few minutes, the man decided to continue the search for the ruby star stone piece first.
As for the existence of these strange people, he will think about it later.
It wasn't that Wan Lie didn't want to destroy those runes and faceless bodies, it was just that he was afraid that doing so would have a huge effect on the surroundings.
Meanwhile, Fu Xie Lan and the others were still outside the castle in an unconscious state.
After searching for several tens of minutes, Wan Lie finally found a ruby star stone in one of the rooms on the second floor. A room that has ice-covered walls and dozens of bottles of fresh blood that seem to have been frozen on purpose.
Finding it is not as difficult as before. Because the ruby star stone is only displayed in the low-temperature room.
"How? Have you found it?" Guard Bai Mo asked just as he sensed Wan Lie's presence nearby.
The man just nodded in approval. Fu Xie Lan's cosmic bag had already stopped vibrating. Now four pieces of ruby star stone have been collected, which means that there are four more pieces left.
"I saw something strange inside," said Wan Lie landing his body on the floor then leaning against the castle wall.
"Something Weird?"
"Maybe you should see for themselves," Wan Lie replied.
"But, we wait for them to come to their senses first," he added.
Now that it was getting dark, the explosion that occurred in the city center was no longer heard.
Fu Xie Lan's magic beast spirite had started to regain consciousness, and so were Xue Ning and Ju Xian.
Yet they were all still in place, not moving an inch, maybe because they were trying to digest what was going on before losing consciousness?
"XIE LAN," Xue Ning suddenly shouted and got up from her position, followed by Ju Xian who also quickly looked around.
"Xie Lan is fine. There's no need to panic like that," a voice rang out, immediately Xue Ning and Ju Xian turned to the source of the voice and found Wan Lie and Bodyguard Bai Mo leaning back with their eyes closed.
Seeing Fu Xie Lan who was in between the two men, Xue Ning and Ju Xian immediately rose from their positions.
"Where are the black witchs? What exactly happened?" Xue Ning asked herself.
"Who beat them?"
"That doesn't matter, at least now that they're dead and we all don't lack a single person," Ju Xian said when he heard Xue Ning's voice.
The girl just nodded confirming Ju Xian's words.
"They're not dead," Wan Lie suddenly voiced as his eyelids opened completely.
"Eh?" Xue Ning and Ju Xian responded in unison. Couldn't digest the man's words properly. If the black witchs weren't dead, then where were they now?
"They ran away," said Wan Lie when he saw the response of the two.
"Runaway?" Xue Ning repeated.
But Wan Lie didn't respond anymore, the man closed his eyes again like before.
"Hmmm, at least we're safe now," said Ju Xian.
Suddenly another beam of light appeared right behind them.
Both Wan Lie and Bai Mo immediately looked to where the light was coming from.
It turned out that Hao had changed into his human form.
"Why did it suddenly change? You surprised me," said Xue Ning, glancing at the grown man.
"I want to say something to you guys," replied Hao approaching.
"Say it," said Wan Lie immediately.
"We have to go inside the castle and look for the main Family," Hao said.
