"Found it?"

Seeing Ouyang Qianjin's confident, faint smile, Cai Peishi asked.

"Yes, I found it."

What's going on?

"It was covered by a barrier. If the ants on the ground hadn't been avoiding it, I really wouldn't have noticed it."

Upon hearing this, Tsepesh raised an eyebrow.

You should know that there was a barrier before, which forced me to find the blood of four kinds of dragons to break the seal.

Is it a barrier again?

Are they going to have to find some kind of blood to break the seal again?

"See, we've arrived."

After traveling about a hundred meters, the skeleton beneath Ouyang Qianjin stopped.

Zepesh and his vampire also stopped.

There was nothing in front of it, or rather, there was no destination in that castle.

As far as the eye can see, there is still a deep, dark forest.

But since both Ouyang Qianjin and my own panel indicated this location, it must be correct.

Just then.

Cai Peishi saw a skeleton appear next to Ouyang Qianjin, and then the skeleton picked up a piece of rubble from the ground and threw it forward with force.

Bang!

The pebbles struck the barrier, creating a ripple.

Although the sound of the collision was not loud, the gravel did indeed shatter.

Moreover, it was shattered into pieces, and with a gust of wind, it simply drifted away.

The two women's eyes twitched at the sight.

It's obvious.

This barrier is far more unreasonable than the one around the wooden door.

At least... it should be somewhat aggressive.

This is completely different from the previous kind of simple trickery.

"The key is how to break the seal..."

"I'm a little conflicted," said Tsepesh.

"How did you know that the barrier required the blood of four different dragons to break?"

"I only found out because I found the key in the town of Kumquat."

"I see, so I've acquired an important item."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Qianjin couldn't help but smack her lips.

She had seen this mode many times when playing games.

At that time, she only thought it was to extend the game time, but after she personally went through the dungeon a few times, she realized that many things were related to this.

Well-designed things need to be logical, but reality doesn't.

This naturally includes the barrier in front of us.

Considering that this is a place where sacred relics of the clan are kept, it's perfectly reasonable to have this kind of offensive barrier.

You can't find any fault with it.

"The problem is how to find the props. We only found the key after searching for a long time."

Tsepesh was also helpless.

What I thought could be accomplished in one go has now encountered this obstacle once again.

"How about... you try splashing your blood on it?"

After thinking for a moment, Ouyang Qianjin said.

"Hmm? What's the basis for that?"

Tsepesh was taken aback, then asked.

"After all, the previous barrier was made with the blood of a dragon, which is hard to obtain, and this castle is a vampire's castle, so it should make sense to use vampire's blood."

"Besides being essential for breaking the first barrier, the dragon's blood is also a clue to the second barrier, at least that's what I think."

"It feels like a puzzle game, which is quite interesting."

Ouyang Qianjin explained her reasoning.

After all, this is a castle that houses sacred relics of the vampire clan.

Even if someone enters the Golden Orange Town instance, finds the key, and successfully opens the first barrier by collecting blood, they won't be able to open the second barrier because they're not a vampire.

Of course.

The possibility is extremely slim.

In Ouyang Qianjin's opinion, the copy of Caipesh seems to be particularly targeted.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be any vampire relics or vampire castles in the dungeons that vampires enter.

"What you said seems to make some sense. I'll give it a try."

Tsepesh nodded.

Then, with a wave of her hand, Anna, the maid behind her, handed her a dagger.

Sizzle—

Unlike last time when it was just a poke on the finger, this time it was a big one.

Upon seeing this, Miss Ouyang immediately asked the skeleton to carry her away.

However, the splattered blood did not 'run around'.

Instead, under Tsepesh's control, it crashed directly into the 'air' in front of it.

Click—

As expected, a crack appeared in the barrier.

Then the cracks multiplied and grew larger.

The barrier, which had covered the entire hemispherical shape, shattered with a loud crack in front of everyone.

The vampire castle hidden inside was revealed.

This is a mysterious and majestic castle, situated on the opposite side of a canyon approximately 100 meters wide.

A ten-meter-wide stone bridge spans the middle of the canyon, with steep cliffs on both sides, giving it a thrilling feel.

The castle has a unique architectural style and possesses cultural elements that are distinct from another world.

The castle seemed to have been forgotten by time; its walls had lost their former glory, revealing signs of decay and corruption.

The castle is towering and majestic, bearing the marks of time.

The castle gates were tightly shut, studded with sharp iron nails, as if warning all visitors.

On either side of the gate are two tall bell towers, each with a huge bronze bell, the bells covered with strange runes.

Its walls are made of huge black stones, covered with vines and moss, giving it an ancient and mysterious feel.

The castle windows were small and covered by thick black curtains, so nothing could be seen inside.

However, through the gaps in the curtains, one could vaguely see some flickering red light shining from inside, which reminded one of the legendary vampires who lurked in the darkness, waiting for their prey.

The castle roof is made of black stone slabs, and many strange sculptures stand on it, such as bats and spiders.

These sculptures are so lifelike, they seem ready to come to life at any moment. At the highest point of the castle, there is a huge cross.

The cross also gives off an eerie feeling, as if it is protecting the castle, but also imprisoning something inside.

The entire castle was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, making people afraid to approach.

It's like a monster rising from the darkness, baring its fangs and claws, ready to devour everything. Only the brave can enter this castle and explore its secrets.

Although it is called a castle.

But it's not just a single castle.

The area across the canyon, just by looking at the buildings, is already large enough to be considered a small town.

Although it is much smaller than the previous Kumquat Town.

[Seyit Castle: Although this is the stronghold of vampires, don't assume it's only home to vampires.]

[Hidden message: Be careful, there's an ominous aura emanating from within; it's a being far more powerful than any enemy encountered before.]
