Chapter 1790 The Echo Stone in front of the Dark Palace
Bing Zhixie said: "The fact that rainwater can flow in shows that it is not completely isolated from the outside world. This should be a very strange project, maybe virtual and real coexist. "He is proficient in the principles of magic, so he can see some clues.
There are some diamond-shaped square holes on the sloping walls on both sides. The holes are not very big, one or two meters square. The number is not many, but not too small. Kun was wondering what these square holes were for, when he suddenly saw a small purple head peeking out from inside.
“Ah, it’s...the dragon ephemera you’re talking about?”
Bing Zhixie nodded: “Keep your voice down, these dragon ephemera have poor eyesight, but they can’t see the light in the air. They are very sensitive, so don’t disturb them. These holes are connected to the ground. If you make a big noise, all the mayflies in the ground will fly out.”
Kun looked at the dragon ephemera that kept popping up on the left and right sides. Most of them were purple, with a small amount of dragon ephemera mixed in with other colors. When she was at the bottom of the cave, she was in a controlled state. Only now did she really see these guys, and she couldn't help but ask: "Will they attack us?"
"As far as I know they won't, but I didn't I can't guarantee it absolutely." Bing Zhixie saw more and more dragon mayflies emerging, and wondered how these guys came out of the ground. Could it be that these ignorant mayfly creatures could still detect if someone was coming in? He thought for a while and suddenly understood: "It turned out to be rain. The rainwater flowed down the drainage holes, making a noise and frightening the mayflies underground."
These mayflies did not want to see the light. , squatting at the entrance of the cave one by one, spitting out red, white, and green flames from time to time, quite like a dragon. However, they did not attack anyone who appeared in the aisle, as if there were many sparrows standing on both sides.
At the end of the corridor is an almost vertical mountain wall, under which a gable-roofed stone house is built. The stone of the stone house is sandy gold, about 20 meters high and the same width. Only a small part of the entire stone house is exposed outside, and most of it is buried in the mountains.
This sandy golden stone is very different from what I have seen before. It is simple and unpretentious. There are no redundant painted patterns on it. There are only a few rough vertical and horizontal chisel marks and red stains painted in the chisel marks. paint.
The two came to the stone house. The wide stone door was not much smaller than the front of the stone house. The stone door opened from left to right and looked very thick. There is a stone beast that may be three or four meters high placed seven meters away in front of the stone gate. The stone beast has been damaged and broken into many pieces, and its original appearance cannot be seen.
When I got here, I didn’t encounter any mechanisms, which is the most reassuring thing.
The stone door was bare and a bit abrupt. Bing Zhixie stood in front of the door and looked through the crack in the middle, but could not see anything. He tried pushing the thick stone door, but it didn't trigger any magic trap, it was just an ordinary stone door.
Suddenly I heard the shouts of the dragons on the long path behind me. I turned around and saw those dragons glaring at each other angrily.
Bing Zhixie felt strange that this was not caused by him touching the stone door. He saw Kun standing next to the pile of broken stone statues and asked, "What's wrong?"
Kun said: "I touched these stone statues, and they suddenly became like this."
Bing Zhixie went over to observe the broken stone statues. The material of the stone statues was very loose, with many pores, much like an ant nest. . The stone statue is gray-black on the outside and beige and orange on the inside. He tried tapping a stone with his finger, and the dragon ephemera immediately became nervous and turned towards this side angrily.
He quickly said to Kun: "Don't touch these stones, these are echo stones. The sound of the trembling echo stones is difficult for humans to hear, but it will stimulate the dragon mayflies here." He took a few steps back to look. After looking at the arrangement of the stone statue, I guessed that there should be some potential connection between the stone statue and the stone door. When someone tried to open the stone door, the stone statue would vibrate and echo, stimulating the dragon mayflies in the ground to come out and attack the intruders.
This is a very clever mechanism that can control dragon mayflies that do not actively attack humans to attack. It's just that for some unknown reason, the stone statue was destroyed, and even the mechanism was destroyed.
Arrived at the stone door again, Bing Zhixie saw that the stone door could be pushed open directly. He asked Kun to stand together and used magic in his hands. A large number of vines grew out and surged forward against the stone door. move.
With a rumbling sound, the stone door was pushed open a crack. Kun nervously observed the dragon ephemera and saw that the dragon ephemera did not fly over. Instead, they were licking their lips, sharpening their claws, and playing in the long path. "They don't seem to be sensitive to low sounds." Bing Zhixie noticed this. He took a deep breath. Just casting such a spell made him feel a little strenuous.
Kun couldn't understand this, she was more concerned about the situation inside the door.
There was a sense of bad luck inside the door, and there was a ball of fire on Bing Zhixie's palm. The flame could drive away the gloom. The space behind the door is very large, larger than what can be seen from the outside. It is far more than 20 meters wide vertically and horizontally. It seems that all that can be seen is just a stone door.
It was quiet in the stone room, and the noise of mayflies outside the door gradually faded away. Bing Zhixie tried to direct the firelight farther away, but easily stopped.
"What's wrong with you?" Kun saw him suddenly stop.
Bing Zhixie said to her: "Did you hear any sounds?"
Kun listened carefully and said, "No."
"No? "That's the sound you heard before you fell into coma." Bing Zhixie briefly heard the ghost-like low voice again, but when he said these words, it faded away again.
"No." Kun was sure he didn't hear it: "It's too quiet here, there is no sound. Did you hear that sound again?"
Bing Zhixie ignored it and continued to explore forward. At this time, there was a roaring sound behind him.
“Door!”
The two of them turned around and rushed toward the door behind them, only to find that the door was suddenly closed. The mechanism on the back of the door rotated, causing the thick stone slabs on the nearby wall to join together. , completely lock and seal the entire door!
Bing Zhixie was extremely careful. He only thought that the layers of protection here were to prevent outsiders from coming in, but he ignored that he would be trapped after entering.
"Damn it!" He punched the stone door in frustration. The headaches and injuries he had suffered in the past few days had made him a little confused and unable to maintain a clear mind. He should have been more cautious.
Kun kicked the stone door hard several times. The force was like an ant hitting a wall, unable to shake it at all. Instead, it made his legs numb. Bingzhixie used magic to hit the stone door, but it also had no effect.
Kun held on to the wall and gasped: "Ice!?"
The stone wall glowed with a faint layer of clear light. Every stone bar and every stone that had been moved just now The stone surfaces fit together perfectly, without a single gap. In the central area, there is a shield-sized, silver-brown disk. The disc is slightly convex outward, and in the center is a bright purple gem the size of an egg, like a purple eye.
