Chapter 671: Chapter 209: Stonewell! The God-level Map Design That Silenced Designers Globally!_5

But between the fence gaps, there were flamethrower devices installed.

About a dozen flamethrowers were controlled by soldiers stationed behind the fences.

In front of the fences, there were also numerous explosive barrels placed.

You should know, to carry so much physical resistance equipment all the way up here, the player’s gear is basically all physical resistance-oriented.

Once the player charged up, they would be greeted with roaring flames and the thunderous explosions of fire!

For those who didn’t have time to switch equipment or apply new buffs, facing this type of elemental magic damage, they were basically in a shatter-on-contact state.

This couldn’t help but make Czcu, standing silently on the drawbridge and overlooking the scene below, draw in a cold breath.

This castle’s design is freaking like it was built strictly according to an ancient military fortress from reality!

Stonewell Castle itself was situated on the peak of a mountain, a natural stronghold, and those who wanted to breach the castle...

Had to follow the main road upwards, passing through the checkpoint ahead.

After getting past the Stone-digging Mountain Demons, then past the Omen.

And then they still had to get through the first, second, and third lines of defense.

Even with today’s advanced technological power, this setup would still cause quite some trouble for those who try to force their way through.

"’Elden’ really seems to have put great effort into construction. These buildings seem to take into consideration their practical use in reality, not just set up for aesthetics or for dominance in the game," Czcu commented.

However, well...

It might be tough to breach the great gate of Stonewell Castle.

But what does that have to do with me?

From where Czcu currently stood...

All of these harsh and dangerous obstacles were not a problem at all!

Because...

All these soldiers were now with their backs to him!

The flames of vengeance blazed fiercely!

The massacre begins!

He leapt from the drawbridge, landing behind the third line of defense.

He began to clear all the guards along the castle road in reverse order.

The soldiers’ attention was all on the castle gate.

Czcu crouched and crept forward slowly, backstabbing them one by one.

A stab and not a peep from them.

The thrill of revenge surged strongly in his heart.

Let you freaking shoot arrows at your daddy just now!

Die! All of you die!

After swiftly clearing the nearby obstacles that took some time...

When Czcu returned to the castle plaza...

He felt refreshed.

But the next moment...

His pupils suddenly shrank.

In the back of the plaza, seemingly leading towards where the BOSS was...

Stood a rather large, chubby big brother, whose appearance had some resemblance to the Omen Czcu had defeated before.

And lying next to him was a large zombie-like hunting dog.

To infiltrate the BOSS’s lair from this direction...

He would have to deal with these two who looked like quite a handful first.

After steadying his nerves...

Czcu gripped the hunting dog’s fang tightly in his hand.

He walked with firm steps towards the chubby big brother.

But after half a minute...

He was sent scrambling and rolling around by the man-dog duo.

In terms of individual combat strength, these two were actually far behind Mr. Furnace.

But the combined attack of the man and dog, acting like two perfectly meshed gears, left no room for the player to do anything but dodge.

To avoid dying to the point of refreshing the guards of the third defense line that he had only just managed to clear...

And to avoid losing the hard-earned 20,000-plus Runes in this perilous place...

Czcu could only shout and roll about frantically.

Eventually, he discovered an arch-shaped cellar entrance on his left-hand side.

Without a second thought, he dived straight in.

But once inside, Czcu’s face turned green.

Good news.

It seemed like he had shaken off the chubby big brother’s aggro outside the door.

Bad news...

What the hell is with all these rats in this room...

This dark little room was indeed a cellar, as could be deduced from the surrounding scenes of barrels for wine-making and racks for curing meat.

But at the moment, three ferocious-looking rats, giving off an evil vibe, deserved more attention.

These rats were almost the size of a medium-sized dog in reality, and their bodies were covered in wounds oozing pus and scabs.

Just looking at them was disgusting.

Czcu swallowed his saliva and glanced at his already less-than-healthy health bar.

The rats wasted no words, immediately squeaking and pouncing on him.

In an instant, one man and several rats were entangled in a fight.

Three Rat Ring King!

After a fierce battle, Czcu lay seriously injured on the ground.

The 20,000-plus Runes he carried were scattered as Gold Coins on the spot.

As this burden was too heavy to bear, Czcu couldn’t just let it go.

After reviving, he marched back to the site of his death, taking a roundabout path.

This time, he didn’t choose to clear the third line of defense, or provoke the chubby big brother.

Instead, he crept along the wall and rushed back into the cellar, picked up the Runes, and ran for it.

If he remembered correctly...

The first time he came here amidst the chaos of fighting with the chubby brother...

He had seen another door on the side which he could enter.

Right next to the cellar’s low door on the left side.

While on the move, Czcu noticed something odd.

"Huh?"

"Why is my money less?"

"I clearly remember having 20,000 Runes."

"How come now there’s only 14,000 left?"

"Was it those damn rats that stole my money?"

Upon hearing this, viewers in the chat couldn’t keep it in anymore.

"Rat: Ah right, right, right, it was all me. Just blame it on me, who else could it be, right? Who could possibly outblame me?"

"It definitely was the rats, I can prove it. Because, you see, I as a rat love money the most—love from Thunderbolt"

"God, the rats stole it... You were warned earlier your money was missing, but you didn’t check the chat."

While the chat roasted him...

No one could blame Czcu for making such a connection.
