Chapter 387 Castle Quest
Kacha~
"The land that binds the soul, it is rumored that there is an undead demon king sleeping here. If you accidentally wake him up, it will cause a terrible disaster!" Vera told the newly formed Sword and Rose adventure team vividly. Hearing his own hearsay rumors.

"Ah..." Sally, the most timid in the team, couldn't help showing a scared expression when she heard the words, and couldn't help leaning towards Catherine's side.

"Tch~" Dina couldn't help snorting disdainfully: "Which bard did you listen to the story? Do you really treat us like children?"

Vera smiled softly and didn't speak, but Cathy on the other side said: "This story is true, probably before the Kuroshio came, there was indeed a demigod-level undead powerhouse who tried to turn the whole world into a world." It is Netherland, but the gods hadn’t left at that time, so the brave men who were blessed by the gods formed an adventure team and sealed the strong undead under this grassland.”

The dark fog shrouded the sky, and the fog made everyone's vision very limited. The dark brown grass was close to the thigh height of a person, and some evil creatures or undead creatures would rush out from time to time.

Annie didn't dare to run too far. Just now she was almost killed by a giant mantis monster that fell from the sky. Fortunately, Vera rescued her in time.

However, the golden-rank mantis monster was very cunning. Seeing that Vera was not easy to mess with, she flapped her wings and flew away. Catherine let Annie and Vera walk in front of the team together, and did not go further. The distance scouted.

"It's a pity that there is still a lack of a spellcaster in the team, even a summoner is good." Vera said with some regret: "It's a pity that those tower witches are too arrogant, and forming a team with those witches is simply a torment."

"It is not difficult to recruit a spellcaster, but the difficulty is to recruit a reliable spellcaster." Catherine held a sword in both hands and walked at the end of the team in a fighting posture, beware of monsters coming from behind the team attack.

The cold magic lamp illuminated the team's way forward, and there were rustling sounds from the grass in the distance. Soon after, a group of zombies roared and appeared in the field of vision.

"There is only one group of zombies, let me do it." Vera said softly, and then her figure jumped out like a gust of wind.

"Cathy, help Vera, everyone else be on the alert!" Catherine narrowed her eyes slightly, looking around with a solemn expression. There are two gold-ranked adventure teams like them, which are already considered the top teams in the sky city. But Vera only joined temporarily.

After registering in the Adventure Guild, the Sword and Rose Adventure Team directly obtained a gold badge, which was in the shape of a shield and engraved with four representative weapons of guns, swords, bows and staffs. The task will also be inlaid with gems.

Badges of different qualities represent the most powerful professionals in the team, while gemstones of different numbers represent the seniority of the adventure.

Generally, adventure teams of the Black Iron rank can only accept simple tasks below level three, adventure teams of the Bronze rank can accept tasks below level six, adventure teams of the Silver rank can accept tasks below level nine, and adventure teams of the Gold rank can accept tasks below level nine. It is to accept tasks below the twelfth level.

As for tasks above level [-], only adventure teams of the legendary level can accept them, and the highest level of tasks of level [-] must even be carried out by all members of the adventure team of the legendary level.

And such missions are all directly related to the safety of Sky City, and even the whole world. Since the arrival of the Kuroshio, Sky City has only released three level [-] missions. level task.

The Sword and Rose adventure team accepted the task of finding out and cleaning up an ancient castle in the Soul-Binding Land this time. An abnormal undead breath gathered.

After the two lurkers investigated, it was confirmed that a large group of undead had indeed gathered here. Based on the information provided by the lurkers, the Adventure Guild made a preliminary assessment that it was a quasi-level ten mission, that is, a group of gold-rank undead monsters might appear.

Of course, such an assessment cannot be completely accurate. If there are no gold-level monsters after cleaning, it means that the actual difficulty is equivalent to level nine. Rewards will continue to be issued for the tenth level of difficulty.

However, if there are indeed gold-rank monsters, the task difficulty will rise to level ten, and if there are more than one gold-rank monsters, the task difficulty will be raised to quasi-level eleven or even level eleven.

If the adventure team can go back alive, even if they don't complete the task, they will get some compensation. Of course, the premise is that they can go back alive.

Vera quickly cleaned up the zombies, and the group followed the road signs left by the previous adventure team, that is, the piles of earth and wood on the field, to match the map purchased from the adventure guild, and continued towards the target castle. go ahead.

"Wow~ Is that the target castle?" Annie stood on a big bare tree, looking towards the distant castle built on the hillside that exudes dim light.

"Well, that's right, it's here." Catherine unfolded the atlas in her hand, and looked at a standing wooden stake beside her. There were numbers engraved on the wooden stake, and Catherine could find the corresponding number on the map.

"Then what should I do, go straight in?" Vera slammed the armor in her hand, her reddish-brown hair was combed into two ponytails, she was dressed in a brown leather battle suit, her fit and graceful figure was vividly displayed, and her appearance was Pretty and cute with a bit of wild beauty, but she is no less beautiful than Catherine.

"Wait for a while, I haven't confirmed how many undead monsters are in the castle, and there may be traps in the castle. If possible, try to see if you can lure all the undead inside." Catherine After putting away the map, he said to Archer Cathy, "Cathy, it's up to you."

"Okay, Captain." Cathy raised her longbow after she finished speaking, and then greeted Sally, who obediently followed Cathy with a large heavy shield in her hand.

They didn't stop until the two girls could see the zombies roaming around the castle carefully. Then Sally put on the steel shield, Cathy put on the feathered arrow, and suddenly bent the bow. This excellent magic longbow came from The magic workshop in Magic Moon Castle has excellent performance, and Cathy can't put it down.

With this magic bow, Cathy, who has eagle-eyed vision, is confident that she can accurately shoot a sparrow from 300 meters away. Unfortunately, the dense fog in the field makes it rare for her to shoot super long-distance.

swoosh~
The magic bow added a thin layer of wind to the feathered arrow, and it hit the eye socket of a zombie almost instantly. The arrow drilled out from the back of the zombie's head, and the wind wrapped around the feathered arrow spread, killing the zombie. The muddy brains became even more muddy.

plop~
The zombie knocked on the top of the city, and then slumped down. The other zombies were still wandering around, earnestly performing their patrol tasks.

Cathy waited for a long time, but no undead came out. She had no choice but to continue to bow and shoot arrows. Five arrows in a row killed six zombies. Finally, the silent castle woke up, and the roar sounded. The dilapidated door was opened with a bang, but it seemed that it could not be closed.
