It sounded like it was just a short distance of a few steps.
The twenty or so youths could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
But Ye Qing Luo who had seen the map was very clear that this wasn't just a simple left turn up the stairs.
The entire Death God Castle was as big as the entire palace.
Perhaps it was even bigger than the Imperial Palace.
Furthermore, there were all sorts of mechanisms and formations hidden in every corner of the room.
It could be said that every step he took was equivalent to a choice between life and death.
The interior of Death God Castle was not as strict as the outside.
Ye Qing Luo led twenty over brothers and walked out of the canteen first.
He extended his head and scanned the area with his perception.
"As there are too many mechanisms and formations in Death God Castle, there are only two teams of internal guards. They will search the surroundings every two hours and each round will take at least an hour."
"In other words, as long as we react quickly enough, these guards won't pose any threat to us."
After Ye Qing Luo finished her words, she swept a glance behind her, at those youngsters who were concentrating on listening to her.
She saw that after hearing her words, they all revealed expressions of relief.
Ye Qing Luo's lips curled upwards as she sneered, "Do you know the reason why there are only two teams of guards in Death God Castle and every round of search takes such a long time?"
The hearts of the youths that had just relaxed immediately tensed up.
Ye Qing Luo's smile was simply too terrifying.
Especially in this kind of atmosphere, it made them feel an inexplicable heavy pressure on their shoulders.
An unknown fear grew and spread from the bottom of their hearts.
"The scariest thing about Death God Castle is the mechanisms and formations that are everywhere. After leaving the canteen, every step you take could possibly trigger a certain mechanism or step into a certain formation. Once you touch these formations and mechanisms, you will die."
Ye Qing Luo suppressed her voice to a very low and deep level.
In this strange atmosphere, it seemed extremely eerie.
Among the twenty or so youths, the oldest was only eighteen years old and had yet to truly experience life and death.
Upon hearing about these formations and mechanisms, they were all shocked. Their bodies stiffened, and they felt their hands and feet go cold.
Scared, very scared.
But under such a fearful situation, these youths actually felt an extremely unfamiliar pleasure.
Yes, pleasure.
The blood in his body was constantly boiling.
The fear in his heart and the burning excitement in his blood fused together, forming an unfamiliar pleasure.
Their hands and feet were itching, and they had the urge to flex their muscles.
These youths did not forget their purpose of coming here.
They wanted to become stronger and gain more battle experience!
At this moment, this fear of the unknown meant that every step they took represented a dangerous place.
It made them afraid, but at the same time, it gave them the thrill of a challenge.
What Ye Qing Luo wanted was to provoke this feeling in them.
Everything needed passion in order to be completed perfectly.
What these youths wanted was a passion to become stronger.
The cold smile on Ye Qing Luo's lips gradually turned into a gratified smile, "From now onwards, watch my every step and don't touch anything in the surroundings."
"All of you just have to remember, our target is the Exquisite Pagoda. As for other things, no matter how much you like them, do not touch them easily."
There were many things here. Once touched, they would become mechanisms.
The youths' faces were filled with determination, and they replied calmly, "Yes!"
Ye Qing Luo's gaze scanned the surroundings vigilantly and upon realising that there weren't any traces of guards, she then left the canteen in a flash.
