Chapter 298 The Second Victim
Seeing those weird eyes in the passage getting brighter and brighter, tens of thousands of sharp light beams are about to sweep across every corner of the passage, cutting all intruders into pieces.
Even Karl has no countermeasures and can only put pressure on the stone gate desperately, hoping to break the stone gate before the light beam erupts.
However, Lynch immediately stopped his futile attempt. It was definitely too late to break the goal. If he wanted to survive, he had to find another way.
Everything is interdependent. This principle applies not only to my hometown, but also to this world. Although these defensive traps are deadly, they are not without their weaknesses.
Its weakness is that it is in an ancient tomb. It is impossible to destroy all the facilities in the tomb every time it is activated. Especially here is the central structure that controls the defense system of the tomb. Once destroyed, the entire tomb will be destroyed. They will all become undefended, and designers will not tolerate this happening.
By the way, sarcophagi, these sarcophagi are most likely strong enough to withstand the erosion of light.
Lynch didn't even have time to speak. He pushed Karl and rushed towards the open sarcophagus first.
In order to allow the connecting rod gear to rotate, there was a lot of space in the sarcophagus, especially under the lid. The two reluctantly stuffed themselves into the coffin and closed the lid with force.
Before the lid closed, the field of vision was filled with light, and countless beams of light fell from the sky, sweeping the entire passage in an instant.
Hi, with the sound of cold water being poured into the boiling oil, the surrounding temperature suddenly increased, and even the surrounding stones became hot to the touch. The two of them hid in the dark coffin and did not dare to move. Listening to the constant chissing outside, the coffin became increasingly stuffy.
You won’t be roasted to death, right? Lynch is being roasted in a suffocating oven, and the evil god next door will be crying with greed.
Just as he was amusing himself with his thoughts, there was a sudden sound beside him, and Carl Jones had already opened the lid.
Lin Qi then realized that he had not heard the chi chi sound for several seconds, and immediately raised the lantern.
The dense Eyes of Glaaki have disappeared into the wall, and darkness has returned to the passage, leaving only an unusually hot environment, and the surroundings are filled with the smell of burnt air.
"Let's go."
Not knowing if there would be another second blow, Karl directly carried the coffin lid, which was as tall as a person, and rushed towards the entrance where he came from.
King of the Yark Dynasty, the coffin boards of your ancestors can no longer hold up.
Holding a lantern and following closely behind Carl Jones, the two rushed back to the door. The thick stone doors were still tightly sealed. Even with the powerful power of Level 4, they could not penetrate these ancient stone doors in a short time.
But now there was time. Karl punched the stone door and remained motionless in this position.
Crack, crackle.
A small cracking sound sounded from inside the stone door, and then cracks appeared on the surface of the stone door.
Karl acted like he was relieved, but under the yellow light of the lantern, Lynch could still see that his face was livid and his expression was gloomy.
Lynch can understand that no matter what his identity or purpose is, at this moment, he is the victim of a conspiracy.
According to him, someone had activated the defense system in the previous tomb. The only person who could do this was one of the four people who stayed on the opposite side. But unless the four people have joined forces, this kind of thing cannot be done openly and openly. In fact, even Lynch has some doubts. Could it be that the other four people have joined forces for unknown reasons and want to deal with the trap first? Lynch and Carl Jones.
Crack, crackle. There are more and more cracks on the stone door, and you can even see tiny buds growing out of the cracks. As there were more and more buds, there was a loud noise in the stone door, and then it cracked on the spot, and large chunks of stone were wrapped in flexible vines and flew outward.
Carl used force and threw the coffin board behind him like a shield, and then Lynch rushed out with him, following the coffin board that opened the way.
The imagined sneak attack did not come. It was safe behind the door, and no one was even guarding the door. The two quickly looked around and realized that the place was quite messy, and a fight seemed to have broken out just now.
At this time, the three of them were gathered around the coffin where Dr. Jenna was lying. When they saw Lynch and the others coming in, it was the bearded Jack who waved to them.
"What did you do?" Carl Jones walked over with a stern face, "You actually activated the defense measures inside, and before we could crack it..."
"Mr. Carl." Rooney suddenly raised his head, " Come here first, Dr. Jenna...it’s not good.”
“Huh?”
Karl, who was asking for help, was interrupted, and Lynch felt nervous. Rooney's expression was solemn, maybe he still couldn't be saved.
The two victims looked at each other and then hurried up. As soon as they got closer, Lynch realized that something was wrong.
Dr. Jenna was still lying weakly on the coffin. The big hole in her chest was filled with black air. But at this time, with the big hole as the center, countless black lines spread out and spread all over her body, letting her see It looks like a porcelain doll that was broken and put back together again, which makes people feel chilled at the sight.
"Originally, the treatment went very smoothly, and she was already awake."
Jack Adams on the side took a sip from the wine bottle, shook his head and said:
"But just now, suddenly something happened. An accident. The power of death suddenly burst out from her body, just like a seed that had been dormant for a long time and suddenly started to grow. None of us expected that the power of death had completely exploded before we could suppress it. "
"So... the defensive trap was triggered?"
"I don't know the situation on your side, but it must be it." Rooney sighed softly, "The impact is huge, look around you The situation can also be seen. The three of us worked together to barely suppress the explosion of death, but the doctor's body..."
Karl stood beside the sarcophagus, lowering his head silently, always overflowing with emotion. The smiling face finally took on a sad look at this time. He stretched out his hand and gently held the doctor's strange, cracked palm. He didn't know what he was thinking when he lowered his head, but he suddenly put the doctor's hand on his face and whispered softly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
With a slight movement of his palm, the doctor slowly opened his eyes, saw the people around him, and then looked at Carl Jones in front of him. The doctor touched his face and said in a weak voice: "Don't be sad, little Carl, you have set foot in the mysterious realm. We all have this day, this is our fate, we can’t blame anyone, we can only blame ourselves.”
Karl sighed deeply and pressed the doctor’s hand that was touching his cheek. Dr. Jenna smiled comfortingly and waved to Lynch again.
Lin Qi has been thinking about whether there is a way to save her, and even considered using the temptation of blood to expose her identity. But the injury on the doctor's body was too weird. Lynch tried his best, but was unable to do anything. He could only watch the doctor become weak step by step.
Seeing the doctor calling him, although it was the first time he had experienced such a scene, he felt depressed, but Lin Qi still took a few steps forward. The doctor pulled him to his side with difficulty, put the backpack strap into his hand, and Lin Qi Qi whispered in his ear: "I can't hold on anymore, you two be careful, the three of them are unreliable. I have no regrets. The only pity I feel is that I couldn't help my little Louise. If there is a chance, Help me give my bag to Louise and tell her that her mother has taken the first step. If she has a choice in the future, she must never come into contact with the mysterious world again."
Lin Qi took a deep breath. , nodded vigorously, a relieved smile appeared on the doctor's face, and finally slowly closed his eyes.
The cracks all over the body suddenly became more dense, and the dirty and oppressive black air overflowed from all the cracks in large groups. The people around him subconsciously took a few steps back, and saw that the doctor looked like It disintegrated into pieces like a porcelain doll, and was then completely swallowed by the black energy escaping from his body.
The ceremony continued, and the second victim finally appeared. The remaining number was five.
