Chapter 353 The Terrifying Castle Owner (13)
Chen Yuan turned around quickly, raised the flashlight and shone it in the direction of Jing Siyu.
"ah!"
Jing Siyu covered her face and screamed, pointing at her ankle with trembling hands.
"Yuanyuan... There's a snake! There's a snake!"
Moving the flashlight downward, he saw a dead vine wrapped around Jing Siyu's ankle.
Maybe it was because it had just rained, the surface of the vine was covered with a layer of water droplets and was very moist. No wonder Jing Siyu mistook it for a snake.
"Shut up."
Chen Yuan reached out to cover Jing Siyu's mouth, and with a flash of the knife in his hand, he cut the vines neatly.
Jing Siyu fell to the ground, patting her heaving chest with lingering fear, her face pale with fright.
“I was so scared…”
Chen Yuan put away the dagger and looked around, but found no trace of bats or other creatures.
As soon as she came in, she discovered that the smell of this forest was very different from that outside.
The forest outside the castle was filled with an indescribable stench, like a mixture of rot and blood, which made people dizzy just by smelling it.
The smell here is more like a mixture of roses and wild roses, which is refreshing and makes people yearn for it unconsciously.
Chen Yuan guessed that there should be no blood bats here.
But is the butler's task really that simple?
It's so simple that it's a little abnormal.
"Keep your voice down. Besides the two of us, the other seven players should have already entered the forest. If the paper man finds us, we'll both be doomed."
Fu Qi’s identity is too mysterious. He can raise so many man-eating blood bats, so he is definitely not a normal person.
The paper figure he chose was definitely not something her ordinary dagger could deal with.
Fortunately, the trees in the forest are tall and strong, with lush branches and leaves, stacked together in layers, forming a good protective shield.
Not to mention five hundred meters, even if they were only ten meters away, it would be difficult to spot them as long as they didn't make any sound.
Jing Siyu obviously realized this, covered her mouth obediently, and nodded.
She got up from the ground, not even having time to wipe the mud off her skirt. She followed Shen Yuan fearfully, holding a stick and staring around vigilantly.
Chen Yuan was afraid that she would hit him on the head with a stick, so he silently distanced himself from her. The next second, Jing Siyu followed him eagerly.
"Yuanyuan, let me tell you, I suspect Wang Jianguo is the paper man appointed by the housekeeper."
Perhaps to ease her fear, Jing Siyu spoke tremblingly, her palms holding the stick covered in cold sweat.
Shen Yuan glanced at her: "How did you know that?"
Jing Siyu said seriously, "Think about it. The first time I asked him to run away with me, he agreed without hesitation. But now I asked him to form an alliance, but he refused me. If he is not a paper man, why doesn't he go with us?"
"Maybe he has a better idea."
Chen Yuan thought of Wang Jianguo on the bus, surrounded by dense swarms of man-eating blood bats, and the strength and courage he showed in smashing the window with his hands. The expression on his face deepened.
He was definitely not just an ordinary temporary worker on a construction site. Although he had a dark complexion and looked simple and honest, Shen Yuan had observed his hands before.
The base of his thumb and the left end of his index finger are covered in thick calluses, suggesting he's been handling guns and knives for years.
"What better ideas could a grown man like him have? We girls are more sensitive. If he doesn't go with us, there must be something wrong."
Jing Siyu was still chattering when Chen Yuan's expression suddenly changed. He pressed down on her shoulders and quickly squatted down.
"Shh!"
The sound of rustling branches reached my ears, and then two handsome young men emerged from the bushes.
"Strange, I clearly heard a sound here just now, why did it suddenly disappear?"
The boy walking in front asked in confusion.
"Since there's no one here, let's continue on our way. We're still two hundred meters away from Isa Castle."
The boy following behind him spoke slowly. Shen Yuan was nestled in the bushes, observing the expressions of the two men through the gaps between the branches.
She remembered these two people, one was called Tan Qing and the other was called Tan Che.
Tan Che called Tan Qing brother, but Chen Yuan couldn't see that the two looked similar at all.
My elder brother Tan Qing has a gentle and soft appearance, like a modest gentleman, and he has a good temper towards everyone.
My younger brother Tan Che has a handsome and sharp appearance, and looks like someone who is not someone to be messed with.
The two of them were also the last two of the nine tourists.
Jing Siyu was interested in Tan Qing, and when they were on the bus, she flirted with him intentionally or unintentionally and talked to him.
But Tan Qing's attitude towards her was not very warm.
Tan Che searched the area again but did not find Chen Yuan and Jing Siyu.
"Looks like I heard wrongly, brother, let's go before anyone else gets there first."
When Tan Qing left, there was a profound expression on his face. His deep gaze fell on a bush where there was an obvious footprint.
Finally, the two figures disappeared from sight and Jing Siyu breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned his head and glanced at Shen Yuan, only to see that she was frowning with a serious expression.
"Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Yuan pursed her lips and did not answer.
When she felt Tan Qing leave, his gaze seemed to fall on where she and Jing Siyu were hiding.
Hopefully it was just her illusion.
Chen Yuan didn't dare to delay any longer and took Jing Siyu to rush to Isa Castle, regardless of whether they would encounter blood bats.
Compared to blood bats, the most dangerous existence at this moment is humans.
Finally, a beautiful and solemn castle appeared before their eyes. The outer walls of the castle were planted with red roses, so dense that the entire castle was completely covered.
The scene was somewhat eerie and scary, as if countless blood bats were crawling on the wall, which was chilling.
The map shows that the building in front of us is Isa Castle.
The castle gate was open and it was dark inside. It was obvious that someone had already gotten in.
"Yuanyuan, let's go in quickly!"
Jing Siyu couldn't hide her excitement at the moment, and rushed inside with her head down. Chen Yuan reached out to pull her, but unfortunately she failed to hold her.
"Wait a minute..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Siyu rushed in.
Chen Yuan had no choice but to follow. The moment he stepped into the castle, a strong scent of roses hit his face.
Jing Siyu's figure disappeared in the dark corridor, and only her excited footsteps could be heard, without any concealment.
Da da da.
The high-heeled leather shoes stepped on the mossy stone slabs and walked further and further away.
Shen Yuan followed behind, holding a flashlight as he walked through the darkness. The corridor was like a maze, and one could easily bump into something if they were not careful.
"Jing Siyu!"
She called out Jing Siyu's name, but unfortunately no one responded.
Tick-tock.
In the heavy air, you can faintly hear the sound of water dripping onto the ground.
Suddenly, Shen Yuan felt a chill on her forehead, and she subconsciously reached out and touched it.
It feels cool and a little sticky.
She rubbed her wet fingertips and carefully brought it close to her nose.
This is...blood...
Shen Yuan felt creepy and cold sweat broke out uncontrollably all over his body.
She didn't dare to breathe and shone the flashlight above her head.
A bloody and hideous face came into view, with swollen and white eyeballs that seemed about to burst.
It’s actually Gordon Lam!
His body was folded into an incredible shape, tightly pressed against the wall above his head. His bloodless limbs were tightly bound by emerald green vines, and he had lost all vital signs.
