Chapter 309 Haunted Corridor

Everything started to dim when they stepped into the corridor!

The dull walls started to decay, and their paint began to peel at a rate visible to the naked eye More andto dust in the air Once the surface of the wall had peeled off, it revealed a rusty,out in everyone's ears

"This appears to be some form of illusion!" Kerr co to counter illusions?" Will's voice was treh his belt for a while before taking out a black jar He asked in a soft voice, "I have some Psychedelic Grass Does anyone need it?"

"Me," the other three apprentices replied simultaneously

They were overjoyed

Psychedelic Grass was a type of herb with sawblade-tipped leaves They were one of the funda hallucinatory potions If the Psychedelic Grass was ground to paste and smeared on the tip of the nose, it could refresh the spirit and increase the body's resistance to illusions

The four apprentices did precisely this They turned around and were about to ask Alice if she needed the Grass as well, only to find her holding a brilliantly glowing gees around thee and calht!

The muscles of their faces started to twitch They were utterly speechless for a eh invisibility and illusions and was extremely expensive The lowest listed ic crystals The few of theer funds They htly htlessly take out a gem like this one

Wasn't this the difference between apprentices a little too large?!

Alice shook the Ge and decaying sight instantly dispersed The walls went back to their dark broooden pattern It had returned to hoas before

As expected, it was an illusion!

The apprentices were finally able to relax when they saw this

Will frowned and slowly inched forward

If they th of the castle, it shouldn't have been any longer than a hundred h for the was terrible Oddly enough, their vision couldn't extend ht meters from where they stood

The scenery in the distance looked as if the darkness had devoured it The group couldn't see anything at all

It seemed this was another illusory effect!

Will slowlypast his surroundings and his feet He stopped walking every ti or different, and Will only continued when he was sure it was safe

The darkness before their eyes slowly faded away

The candlelight on both sides of the wall flickered with a diht projected their shadows onto the walls One moment they would extend and the other they would shrink One ht, and the next they would be on the left It was al monster lived in their shadows The wooden boards beneath their feet were old and rotten Every step they took caused the floor to creak noisily

A fifty-centi to the wall on the left side The shadows had obscured it, causing the party tountil no that they were finally close enough, Will was able to discern its contents

The painting was of countryside fields There were mountains in the distance, rivers by the crops, and a small hill was in the middle of the picture A faint silhouette stood on the hill and was facing forward

The technique of the artist was excellent That said, who knehat the artist thought when he drew this? The artist had painted the entire painting with black and white only What should have been a picture of a beautiful countryside scene had been turned into a sinister and ghostly ie

Will shook his head and turned his attention back to the ground he was stepping on

The creaking noises continued as he walked He couldn't focus and pay attention to the other changes around him He finally stopped to listen for oddnoises continued to couys walk more soft…" Will couldn't help but turn around to scold his companions, but what he saw shocked him

His companions indeed followed behind him, but…their faces were pale white, their facial features distorted Two streaks of bloody tears dripped down their cheeks

"What happened to you? " Will asked with a tre smiles appeared on their faces as sharp claws extended froers They howled and wailed as they surrounded Will

Will stuer able to endure the terror of the sight He turned around and quickly started running

Will ran across the river and past the fields He was out of breath and had no choice but to stop on a small hill to catch his breath

Imonsters, haven't I?

Will looked about fearfully, only to find himself in a wholly different place

This…this wasn't the dim corridor he had been in

Will looked at the sinister ray fields he had run past, and the black river before hi wooden frame in the distant air It was like ato the outside world Through it, Will saw a pale silhouette leading Kerr, Warren, and the others as they sloalked down the corridor

Judging on his position and angle, Will was shocked to find hiure in the drawing had already replaced him!

Dammit! Was this illusion or reality?
