Chapter 755: The Castle
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“What kind of world is this…?” Gao Peng wondered.
“I don’t know. This is the first time I realized that there was such an interesting world.” Fatty Big Sea spat out a bubble.
“This is the Reverse World,” said the King of Robotics.
“Reverse World?”
“Well, it’s a special reverse world of Jiutian Shidi. Everything here is reversed from the world we know.”
“Does that mean the entire Reverse World is as big as Jiutian Shidi?”
“Yes.” The King of Robotics nodded.
Wow, then this reverse world was simply huge. “In such a large world, shouldn’t there be a rich variety species?” Gao Peng was perplexed and wondered if the number of native monsters in this reverse world was supposed to be this small. He wasn’t sure if it was due to the environment or simply because they were rare.
Gao Peng looked up.
The ground was like a jar with its opening turned upside down. The soil in a certain area suddenly became soft, and a few stones floated down from the continent; that must have been how the rocks in the surrounding air came about.
“That’s it!” thought Gao Peng. He opened his eyes wide, and in the broken soil, a small dark red body flashed away. Since its speed was too fast, and only a few of the bodies were exposed, even Gao Peng couldn’t see its attributes.
“Gao Peng, there are monsters on the mountain,” Da Zi whispered in Gao Peng’s ear. It then pointed to a mountain in the distance.
Gao Peng turned around and saw that many caves had opened up in the upside-down mountain, looking just like the holes in a lotus root. In the holes, there were dark red-skinned monsters. Some of them hid in the cave, while others leaned out half their heads to secretly observe. These monsters had curved sheep horns on their heads. They had no hair, dark red skin with wrinkles, sharp ears, and long and thin tails.

[Monster Introduction]: Common monsters living in the reverse world, they feed on stones and minerals. The occasional reverse world turbulence gives them the chance to appeared in the regular world, where they use their Mental Boarding ability to communicate with lifeforms of the regular world and identify their vulnerability to steal power from them.
When they noticed Gao Peng, they hid behind each other in a panic.
“Leave them alone.” Gao Peng stopped looking. “Too weak,” he thought. Gao Peng wasn’t interested in targeting these monsters.
Goldie touched its bald head. Its bad character gave it bad ideas.
“Let’s go,” Gao Peng merged with the Dragon Ant and flew to the front.
Goldie made a sound and followed Gao Peng.
“That’s…” Gao Peng and his party, who had been flying for about half an hour, stopped and looked at a huge castle floating in the dark world ahead of them. Unlike the structures in the Reverse World, the castle stood in the sky.
The castle was similar to an ancient castle from the middle ages, with green vines hanging from its silver-gray outer walls. The only strange thing was that there were no windows at the top of the castle—the whole castle was enclosed, with only one access gate.
On the left and right sides of the gate, there were dark gray angel statues holding sacred swords with lowered heads. They were both gray Saint Binus Angels, Level 75.
If even the gatekeepers were at Level 75, there had to be big players inside, but the Divine Well of Darkness had been pointing towards the castle. Gao Peng had to go unless he wanted to give up the other half of Divine Well of Darkness.
“Let’s rush in together!” Goldie said excitedly. “Let’s invade the monster castle.”
“Why does it feel more like a group of demons rushing into the castle to rob the king instead…” said Flowing Light, ever the honest one.
“Nonsense! Have you ever seen such a handsome demon?” Desolion patted Flowing Light’s head.
A five-foot and two-inch-tall Flowing Light was just the right height for a ten-foot-tall Desolion to pat its head.
Desolion swung its neck, its mane shaking. Soft hair made one more confident than flowing hair. It lifted its left paw, and the frost in its palm condensed into a small mirror.
Desolion’s image was reflected in the mirror. It had blue pupils and a pure white mane, elegant yet majestic. The corner of its mouth couldn’t help but lift up. It was so handsome! Putting away the small mirror, Desolion looked down and saw Flowing Light staring at it.
“Good boy,” Desolion stroked its companion’s shining head.
“You were looking in the mirror,” said Flowing Light.
“Nonsense!” Desolion’s voice grew slightly louder. “Why would I look in the mirror?”
As soon as this sentence was uttered, there was laughter. Desolion had once again looked in the mirror. A typical narcissist, it looked at itself in the mirror a hundred times a day. The lion’s face became red, but its red face was concealed by its thick hair.
When Gao Peng and his party were 300 feet away from the castle, the two gray Saint Binus Angels at the castle gate trembled, and the gray debris shook off from their bodies, revealing blue bodies inside.
Their bodies were shielded by blue wings, and the holy swords in their hands became gold. Blue haloes also expanded from their feet outwards.
How had the gray angels turned blue?! Gao Peng took a closer look at the attributes of the gray Saint Binus Angels and found the reason in the monster profile.
[Monster Introduction]: The Saint Binus Angel is a kind of monster that exists in the Reverse World. They are lazy, and their favorite activity is to stay in a fixed place and sleep.
For some special reason, gray Saint Binus Angels attracted dust ten times faster than normal, which was also the origin of the words “gray angels” in their names.
The Dragon Cultivation Book opened its pages, which faced the two awakening gray angels. The surface of the pages showed a ripple. A dragon claw covered with red scales stretched out from the book, followed by the dragon’s head, neck, and body. The dragon’s mouth spat flames, which transformed into fire dragons that engulfed the two gray angels.
The gray angels were shrouded in the flames and quickly burned into a pile of coal. Only two gold swords with melted surfaces remained in their place.
The fire dragon flew out of the Dragon Cultivation Book and hovered in the sky. Its indifferent eyes showed no feelings. It was a Level-95 legendary Fire Dragon. It was also the weakest among the eight dragons in the book of dragon cultivation that had been formed first.
White Paper had allowed this Fire Dragon to rush to the front, since as long as the soul of the dragon wasn’t destroyed, it could infinitely revive it. Therefore, this dragon with Dumby’s revived soul was the best weapon.
The Fire Dragon’s tail flicked, morphing into a scarlet mirage, and aimed to crash into the castle gate, creating a huge crashing noise.
Just as the fire dragon was about to slam into the castle gate, the gate suddenly opened, and the Fire Dragon rushed straight inside. Immediately after the Fire Dragon flew into the castle, the castle gate closed automatically.
With a deafening bang, a pair of iron fists hit the gate fiercely, and the closing gate was forcefully stopped. “Hur,” Goldie exclaimed and pushed forward. The castle gate was forcefully pushed open by Goldie’s hands.
