Chapter 1571 Nine Stone Statues
The inside of the mausoleum is filled with coldness, looking into the unknown darkness, as if there is something ominous and strange peeping in the dark. Langya, Little G, Abzi, Alligator, Alice, and Cesanil entered the tomb in sequence. Alice looked everywhere, and the nearby lamps in the tomb were on. On the high dome above her head, there were many gems as blue as stars shining with a little bit of light. Then Tyson, Ruola and several guards also came in.
"Why are you here?" Because in the tomb, it seemed that he did not dare to speak too loudly. Even though he had just experienced a battle before, Abzi still lowered his voice involuntarily.
Tyson said: "Didn't you say that the area near the entrance of the cave is safe? Let's take a look here when we come down. If there is any situation, we may be able to help you."
Ai Li Si took a look at Ruola, but she didn't expect that she would have the courage to follow her even though she usually looked soft and frail.
Abzi said: "Then don't wander around here. If there is danger, go up immediately."
Tyson nodded and agreed.
Cessanil suddenly said again: "By the way, do you have any slate pens with you? Wherever we go, we will leave marks along the way so that we will not accidentally hit the trap when we return the same way."< br>
Abzi took out two stone pens and gestured: " I have prepared this for a long time. When I went out just now, I left marks along the road. "Here, there is one in front of you. Do you see it?"
Everyone looked at the ground. Sure enough, there was a white circle mark, and there was another one further ahead. Cesanil gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "I didn't even notice when you did it."
Tyson brought some stone pens and asked people to throw them down and distribute them to everyone.
Everyone walked along the same path as before. The crystal's searchlight swept into the surrounding darkness, shooting two fireballs from time to time to explore the path to see if there was any danger further away. Because it is impossible to observe the hidden mechanisms on the ground and in the air, we can only stay on the sidelines and rely on everyone's superb abilities to avoid sudden attacks from the mechanisms. At the same time, we must be careful to see if there are monsters appearing in the darkness.
Under the stone pillars and next to the figurines, one or two wooden boxes will be placed from time to time. These boxes are the same as what Alice saw in the Tomb of Princess Amber. They contain some useless things. After slowly walking forward for more than an hour, they arrived at the corner of the wall. The wall was painted with the same pattern of worshiping the stars in the sky as the tomb of Princess Amber.
Alice looked at it and said: "The layout on the first floor here is basically the same except that it is larger than Princess Amber's tomb. There should be some small grid rooms nearby where pottery jars are stacked. , those monster corpses are soaking in the tank "
"Then look for the entrance to the next level. There won't be much gain on this level." Cesaniel glanced at her and asked, "Alice, follow your instructions. In which direction should the memory entrance be? ”
Alice thought for a while and pointed: "It should be in that direction. I don't know if the entrance here is the same as the tomb of Princess Amber."
Abuz suddenly shimmered, and a It turned into two, and one of them said: "I'm scouting the way ahead, you should be careful." As he said that, the two 'Abzis' walked towards the direction pointed by Alice with a distance of about four meters. .
This kind of secret related to a person in battle is usually not easily revealed in front of others, but in this situation, every step is dangerous, and Abzi also considered it for a while before making the next decision. Decide. Although he didn't say it outright, everyone knew that the person walking in front was definitely not him. If you were careful, you could always tell which one was the puppet and which one was the real person if you observed carefully from such a distance.
The few people present were all knowledgeable people. Alligator praised: "Devil thief, you are really good at making this puppet. Your walking movements are smooth. I can't tell which one is which at first glance." It’s really you.”
Speaking of this puppet, Abzi was quite proud and said: "My puppet is called 'Demon Spirit Deep Eyes'. It was specially made for me. After following me for these years, it is almost invincible. It's me." The most important treasure ”
Little G asked curiously: "You can control puppets. Are you a mind mage? But when I saw you fighting before, you seemed to be a knight."
It's a bit sad to talk about this Abzi, since he has been I see it, and I don’t mind sharing my past with everyone. Abzi is indeed a real knight. He lived in the desert when he was a boy. Due to limited conditions, he could only find some knight book boxes from looting and teach himself. These factors made his progress on the road to knighthood very slow. It took him seven years to complete the transition from an intermediate knight to a high-level knight. After reaching the stage of a true knight, his strength has been stuck at a bottleneck and it is difficult to improve.
It was not until he left the desert that he realized that he did not have the talent to learn knight skills and imitate elemental abilities. Instead, he was quite capable in mental awareness and energy control. It's just that spiritual magic and space magic are different from other elemental magic. Even if there is no teacher to teach elemental magic, you can learn it just by buying books, but spiritual magic requires systematic study and professional teaching.
At that time, Abzi was already very old. Mental magic was already difficult to learn and progress was very slow. Even though he studied very hard for a period of time, he could only learn it to a relatively intermediate level now. . If he wanted to learn in the future, unless he still had thirty years to live, it would be difficult to make any big achievements, so he gave up and didn't make any more efforts in this area.
While the group of people were fighting and moving forward, they chatted a few words from time to time, and slowly got an overview of his academic past. At this time, several taller stone statues appeared in front. The stone statues are all images of various monsters, just like those in Princess Amber's Tomb. They are squatting on a stone platform that is almost as tall as a person. All the stone statues in Princess Amber's Tomb were smashed, but the ones here are still intact.
Alice felt at that time that if it was an ordinary stone statue, it would not be damaged by someone for no reason, and there must be some danger hidden there. She told everyone about this matter, and everyone walked around the stone statues one by one, but saw no reaction.
Little G said: "Whether there is any reaction or not, there must be something weird about these stone statues. We should be careful not to disturb them."
Everyone counted them in turn, there were nine in total. The stone statues are placed randomly in the tomb chamber, and there seems to be no order or connection between them. A few people walked safely in front of the stone statue, then passed through it, and then passed through it again. Unable to see why, they continued to walk forward, and casually lit up the nearby lamps.
More than two hours have passed. Several people were exhausted from dismantling the mechanism, but they still could not find the entrance to the lower level.
Although the mechanisms inside the tomb are dangerous, there are sharp thorns on the stone tiles, flying spears pierced on the floor tiles, polar star flame beams moving vertically and horizontally, flames ejected from under the floor tiles, and hidden In addition to the triggering mines in the air, there are also devices that rise from the floor tiles and spray poisonous water in all directions, as well as sharp weapons that spray out of the walls. But most of these institutions have rules to be found. As long as you master the rules, it is not difficult to avoid them. Of course, this is not difficult, just for people of their level.
However, the design of the mechanisms here is really clever. In addition to the mechanism hinges that are difficult to find from the surface, several simple mechanisms that seem to be seen in ordinary times are also very powerfully designed.
Can't find the downward entrance, Alice thought to herself, how could this happen?
Everyone has figured out the outline of the main location in the tomb hall. Of course, there are still many places that have not been explored, but they are all exhausted. They blow clean a few square bricks and sit on the ground to catch their breath and rest. .
The alligator took a sip of green sprout juice, took out a bag of buckwheat biscuits that he brought with him and ate it while cursing: "I fucked Glonas' anus. This is only the first level. Let him We are as tired as dogs. Isn’t it just a wife’s grave? It needs to be wrapped up so tightly. It’s just like what Alice said. If there are three or four floors, it would be okay."
Cessanil said: "This tomb is indeed harder to conquer than expected. It is a large place and has many and powerful mechanisms. If it weren't for the extremely powerful demon. If the bomb can kill all the corpse soldiers in the tomb, the situation may be even more difficult to deal with.”
After chatting for a while, Tyson came over with Ruola and seven guards around him. Abzi said: "Why are you here?"
Tyson said: "We heard you talking again over there, and there was no other movement, so we just walked along. Come and take a look at your marks.”
Now it is basically confirmed that there are no moving ‘living things’ in the first floor of the tomb, only the mechanisms that have not been eliminated. You will be fine if you follow the marked route. Abzi and the others are not too worried.
A few people complained again. Cesaniel looked at the large tomb and said dejectedly: "Do we have to search every corner to find the entrance to the next floor?"
Abzi said: "If it really doesn't work, let's give up for the time being. There are too many risks in this tomb, and someone has already robbed this tomb. The most important things in the tomb may have been stolen."< br>
"No." Tyson said firmly: "Not only will I not agree to giving up, but Shakhan will not agree either." He knew that Abzi cared about his friendship with Shakhan, so he moved out of Shakhan Come on, let him not give in.
This is exactly what is difficult for Abzi.
Little G stood up and was not as tall as Lang Ya when he was sitting. He said: "Why are you giving up? Can you bear to watch so many of your brothers' men die in vain? Even if the most valuable thing is There are other things stolen. They are all valuable."
Abuz sighed and said, "I was just talking casually."
Lang Ya had been silent, and now he suddenly said: "The hidden entrance is not necessarily in the unexplored area. I think it has something to do with the nine stone statues."
Little G held his chin, frowning and nodded. : "You said that, and I think that although we didn't search many places on the first floor, those stone statues are really suspicious. Eye-catching."
Cesarniel also agreed with this point: "That is indeed the most suspicious place. Compared with the tomb of Princess Amber, something should happen there."
" What kind of stone statue is that?" Ruola had been paying attention to the carvings on the stone pillars near the stone. He heard them talking about the stone statue and interrupted to ask.
Little G pointed and said: "It's over there. We'll take you to see it later."
In front of the stone statues, everyone studied them carefully. Ruola looked at the stone statues thoughtfully. Seeing this, Alice asked, "Did you think of anything?"
Ruola Ning Eyebrow said: "This seems to be 'Ke Lu Qi'."
Everyone heard Ruola mention an inexplicable term , was very curious and asked: "'Keluqi', what is that?"
Ruola did not answer and responded: "How many stone statues did you just say there were?"
"Nine. They are all around here. Come on, I will show you them all." Little G said and took the lead to see several stone statues placed nearby. It's just that although there are long-bright lamps shining nearby, there are not many of them, and the range of illumination is also limited. To see the stone statue in the dark clearly, you have to walk in with a spar lamp.
Looking at the nine stone statues one by one, Ruola stood there and carefully recalled the memories in his mind.
When everyone saw that she had not spoken for a long time, Lang Ya and Alice began to look for clues nearby again.
The alligator was a little impatient, interrupted Ruola's thinking, and asked: "You just said 'Kluqi', what is that, and is it related to the tomb door mechanism leading to the next floor? ?”
Little G wanted to tell him not to disturb the beautiful woman while she was working, but Ruola didn’t care and said: “‘Kulu chess’ is a game that was popular in the royal palace of the ancient Phoenician Kingdom and among the people. What's more, the two sides are facing each other, each with different The same chess pieces are used to create different battle formations. The formation is formed in three or five steps. At least two chess pieces are needed, and at most... more than a dozen are needed. Each different formation has corresponding different chess pieces, according to the prescribed order. Arrange it. Oops, I can’t remember the specific rules and gameplay.”
The alligator interrupted: “It’s not important, after all, it’s a chess game, right?”
"Hmm... right." Ruola nodded a little uncertainly: "I have seen these from the materials Celeste showed me, and I have never seen 'Kluqi' It doesn't look like it, but the patterns and descriptions in the information are similar to these stone statues."
Cesanil said to her: "In other words, the stone statues here have to be compared with 'Kelu'. The arrangement in chess is effective, right?”
Ruola nodded: “That’s right, I think so.”
That’s right. Lang Ya suddenly whistled to them and said, "I found something."
It turned out that Lang Ya found a slightly different stone brick on the ground. In the tomb hall, all the stone bricks were arranged so tightly and neatly that not only was it difficult to insert a piece of paper into the gaps, but the height of each brick was also even. But this stone brick is different. It is one-third of a centimeter higher than the surrounding stone bricks. If you don't stick it to the ground and look carefully, it is almost difficult to see.
And although the color of this stone brick looks the same as other stone bricks, when Langya stepped on it just now, he found that the sounds made by the two stone bricks were different, which meant that their textures were different. Such an unexpected stone brick is really an eye-catching clue.
Then everyone carefully checked nearby, and several different stone bricks were sent out one after another, and it happened that the bases of the nine stone statues were exactly the same size as each square brick!
