Chapter 78 Salman (III)

Chapter 78 Salman (III)

Based on the clues in Claire's diary, Feng Yan found her hiding place, which was a small village within the territory. She concealed her beauty, dressed up as a village girl, and hid in the most inconspicuous hut.

The villagers of this village are actually her subordinates, covering her tracks, and even Count Gaivo is unaware of the existence of this village and these people.

Although this father and daughter had a good relationship in their early years, in the past two years, as their power gradually grew, they were constantly in conflict. The family affection of the past had long been worn out, and they were on the verge of falling apart.

It is for this reason that Count Gaivo wants to use Claire's marriage as bait to lure the Salmans from the line of Marquis Carols to his base camp, seize their power, and unify the Salmans.

At this time, Gaivo had no affection for his own daughter anymore, and even wanted to offer Claire as a sacrifice to the infant spirit of Salman. Claire was far less powerful than him, so she could only flee in a panic to avoid Count Gaivo's pursuit, but in her hurry she left her diary in the bedroom, and was eventually found and killed by Feng Yan.

"I see... In other words, Count Gaivo's eagerness to find Claire wasn't just a disguise."

After listening to the Grim Reaper's story, Shi Zishu curled his lips, and a hint of coldness appeared in his smile: "He is afraid that Claire will do something at the critical moment, so he is eager to find her."

"That's right." The expression of the God of Death was a little complicated. He originally thought that the souls of humans after death were terrible, but some living people were more terrifying than the dead. In order to satisfy their own greed, they would even sacrifice their own flesh and blood and so many lives.

"What happened next? You met my captain. Where is he now?"

"In addition to the topographic map of the secret passage, Claire also has the specific locations of some evil ritual arrays they set up throughout the castle. These arrays can help Gaivo absorb the souls of the dead and enhance his strength. Captain Feng Yan is destroying these arrays and asked me to come to you through the secret passage..."

Death said this, following the directions given by the topographic map, leading them layer by layer into the deeper parts of the secret passage.

The secret passage was shaking violently, with dust and small debris falling continuously, and it seemed that it was in danger of collapsing at any time. Countless black tentacles stretched out from all directions, blocking their way and capturing the escaping undead.

Under the purification of Xia Bingying's power, these tentacles were constantly being eliminated and killed. However, the secret passage was too narrow, and the space that the holy light could illuminate was extremely limited. Moreover, there were many concerns when using the power, and the secret passage could not be collapsed. Therefore, more undead were dragged into the depths by the tentacles and were all swallowed up by the dark power below.

“Ku, ku, ku…”

The laughter of the infant spirit became more and more shrill. Xia Bingying frowned slightly, and suddenly pointed his cane. Pure and dazzling rays of light flew into the depths like meteors, and then there was a loud bang. The huge light that burst out illuminated the secret passage as if it were daytime, and instantly turned a large number of undead souls and tentacles into ashes. The laughter of the infant spirit also stopped abruptly, and the vibration of the secret passage also stopped temporarily.

But as a price, a huge hole several tens of meters wide suddenly appeared in front of them. They could vaguely see the secret passages below collapsed layer by layer, revealing the deep part below. A hazy blood light was pouring out from the deep pit, and the bloody smell was pungent. In the middle, it seemed that there were thousands of undead with twisted faces of resentment entangled.
