Chapter 172: The Fourth Stone Chamber
Chen Tian and Han Xiang, who had survived the catastrophe, were extremely excited in their hearts at this time, thinking that they would confess in this forbidden land, but they didn't expect that the ball of light that was generated somehow saved them.
This made the two of them a little confused, and at the same time wondered what this red ball of light was.
Chen Tian was slightly embarrassed to let go of Hanxiang in his arms, but his eyes moved elsewhere, not daring to look directly at the peerless beauty in front of him.
Han Xiang lowered her head, her face was red, and her beautiful eyes were staring at Chen Tian's handsome face, tender as water.
A beauty like her, anyone who sees it will be moved, let alone under such an ambiguous move.
But Chen Tian only has Lin Wanqing in his heart, even if Lin Wanqing is not as good as Han Xiang in all aspects, he will not change his original intention because of this.
In order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere, Chen Tian hurriedly came to the machine monster and observed it carefully.
He marveled at the wisdom of the ancients who were able to create something that would be considered high-tech in modern times.
But why is there no record of these robots in history? Chen Tian couldn't figure this out.
Moreover, the robot imprisoned on Tianlong Island actually existed more than a thousand years ago after research and identification.
What's even more shocking is that this thing has not been scrapped yet, and it will attack the humans in front of it at any time.
Due to the sheer size of this machine monster, Chen Tian burrowed into its body from its detached head.
Han Xiang, who was standing on the side, shouted anxiously: "Chen Tian, don't go in, be careful." β
She was really afraid that this monster would "come back from the dead", so wouldn't Chen Tian be in danger.
However, Chen Tian looked indifferent, he knew very well that this machine monster would never stand up again, because he had already seen that the chip in the monster's head had been torn apart by the previous ball of light.
He shouted loudly inside the robot monster: "Don't worry, this thing is already cold, I'll check it out and come out." β
Although she heard Chen Tian say this, Han Xiang was still a little uneasy in her heart, standing alone in front of the machine monster and staring intently at the situation inside.
Chen Tian examined the monster's body, but found no valuable information, just some intricate lines and parts that allowed it to move.
Of course, there are also some unknown liquids that can provide a source of ignition, which is the same as the fuel for the lanterns in the stone chamber, according to Chen Tian's estimation, it should be oil refined from some kind of sea creature.
The ignition point of this oil is quite low, as long as the mechanism is turned on, the two flints and steels will ignite when they rub together.
Obviously, after the machine monster's chip was destroyed, the container containing the fuel stopped working, causing the fire on its body to gradually extinguish.
After Chen Tian turned around and found nothing new, he felt that there was no need to stay any longer, so he planned to leave the body of the machine monster.
Just as he was about to drill out of the monster's neck, Chen Tian caught a glimpse of a palm-sized black metal box scattered next to him, and his curiosity aroused curiosity, so he picked up the metal box and left the monster's body.
"What is this?" Han Xiang stared at the black metal box in Chen Tian's hand with her beautiful eyes, and said in a daze.
Chen Tian shook his head and said, "I don't know, this box shouldn't be a part of this machine monster, just open it and take a look." β
Hanka immediately stopped: "Wait, don't open it yet, in case... What if it's some... It's weird again, but it's bad. β
She now has a shadow in her mind about these robots, robot dogs, and robot monsters that appear in the forbidden land, because they are too difficult to deal with.
If something unknown comes out to attack them, they really want to die.
At the same time, Han Xiang was also guessing what kind of existence this Miao family ancestor who built the forbidden land was back then, not to mention that so many mechanisms were arranged here, but also to integrate the technology that should be regarded as god-like at that time, could it be that this Miao family ancestor traveled back from modern times?
In the next second, she denied this conclusion, because it was impossible.
Chen Tian looked at Han Xiang's nervous appearance and was very funny, he said: "Such a big monster has been put down by the two of us, are you still afraid of this little thing the size of a palm? Don't worry, you are hiding behind me." β
Han Xiang knew very well that Chen Tian would not give up opening the box, so he ran behind him with a smoke, and leaned out a black metal box that was secretly aimed at the front, afraid that an unknown monster would emerge again to attack them.
Chen Tian was not sure if there would be any danger hidden in this metal box, so he carefully opened the lid, and when he saw the contents clearly, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
I saw that there was only one folded paper in the metal box, and due to the age, some parts of the paper were spotted and slightly yellow.
At this time, Hanka came over and took a look.
Chen Tian opened the paper, and there was actually a map drawn on the paper, and after careful scrutiny, this map was the whole picture of the forbidden land of the Miao family.
Not only that, but it also clearly marks all the secret doors and all the passages in the forbidden area, and even the mechanism layout of the secret doors and secret passages can be seen at a glance.
After Chen Tian browsed intently, he was overjoyed and said: "Hanxiang, we have a way to get out, this is the map of the forbidden land, great." β
Han Xiang was naturally very excited, and immediately said: "Then let's quickly find the exit in the direction pointed by the map and leave this ghost place." β
Chen Tian nodded, and continued to observe every place on the map, and he found that there were four stone chambers marked on the map, but they had only visited three before, which piqued his curiosity.
Moreover, this corridor is just as he imagined, when he enters from the entrance of the forbidden land, he will trigger the mechanism, separate the corridor at the entrance, and thus connect to another section, changing the entire corridor into a ring, which leads to returning to the original point no matter how you go.
According to the map, Chen Tian already knew where the mechanism that changed the corridor to its original shape was located, and the passage to the fourth stone chamber was in this section of the corridor that had been separated.
Chen Tian secretly sighed that the construction of this forbidden land was really ingenious, and he didn't know how the craftsmen of that era built it.
With the map, Chen Tian easily found the location of the exit with Hanxiang.
According to the location of the mechanism marked on the map, it was easy to find it, and after touching the mechanism, the tunnel changed its original direction.
Then the two saw a glimmer of light in front of them shining into the corridor, and Hanxiang shouted, "Ah, we can finally go out, the air outside makes people feel too comfortable." β
Chen Tian smiled and said, "Well, you can go out, but I still have to go to another stone room, or you go out first to report safety." β
Han Xiang was surprised: "Chen Tian, it's not easy to leave the forbidden land, and the purple blood grass you want has also been obtained, what kind of danger are you going to explore, you don't know that this ghost place is full of dangers, so forget it." β
Chen Tian said: "Since I am here, I want to go and see what mysteries are in this last stone room, you bring two packets of herbs to Chu Xuan, and I will come out later." β
Hanxiang said anxiously: "But, I'm really not at ease, then I have to accompany you." β
Chen Tian refused: "Don't worry, now I have the map of the forbidden land in my hand, and I won't be trapped inside, besides, Chu Xuan and they must be waiting outside in a hurry, you go out to meet them first." β
To be honest, Chen Tian himself didn't know if he would encounter danger again when he got to this fourth stone chamber, but he had the map in hand, at least he wouldn't be trapped here.
And he didn't want Han Xiang to be in danger again, the matter of coming to the forbidden land of the Miao family had nothing to do with Han Xiang, in case something happened to her, her conscience would be uneasy.
Moreover, Han Xiang protected Chen Tian without hesitation, which made Chen Tian have an indescribable subtle feeling towards her.
In the final analysis, Chen Tian just wanted to watch Han Xiang leave the forbidden land safely.
So as soon as he finished speaking, he handed the two packets of herbs to Hanxiang and gave her a determined look.
Han Xiang couldn't be stubborn, so she had to leave the forbidden place with the herbs first, she threw herself into Chen Tian's arms again, and said softly: "Then be careful yourself, we will wait for you outside." β
This time, Chen Tian did not refuse Hanxiang's hug, but just hung his hands in the air and did not touch Hanxiang's back.
After a long time, the two separated.
Chen Tian comforted: "Don't worry, I'm just going to investigate the stone room, and it'll be fine." β
Han Xiang nodded slightly, reluctantly said goodbye to Chen Tian, and walked towards the exit with two packets of herbs.
Chen Tian studied the map and found the mechanism that opened the passage to the fourth stone chamber, and after pressing the mechanism, a stone door on the stone wall of the corridor slowly rose.
Then the whole person walked inside, he lifted the lantern and looked at the map while walking slowly, and after a while he came to the door of the stone room.
The door of this stone chamber is different from the others, the material of the door is made of bronze, and due to its age, the two doors that can be opened and closed have become patina.
At first glance, there is nothing special about it, except that the faΓ§ade is covered with neat rows of rivets, which stand out.
Chen Tian couldn't find the mechanism to open the two bronze doors on this forbidden map, which made him a little troubled.
Could it be that this bronze door doesn't need to be opened with a mechanism?
While thinking about it, Chen Tian stretched out his hand and prepared to try to push the door open.
To his surprise, as soon as his hand touched one of the bronze doors, a "boom" sounded, and both doors automatically moved in at the same time.
As soon as he stepped through the door, the lamps in the entire stone chamber lit on their own, illuminating every corner of the room.
This design is simply more modern than modern, could it be that even the oil lamp has its own induction? Chen Tian thought to himself.
He looked around the stone chamber, which was not too big, but the walls, floor, and coffin in the center were all made of gold.
However, there was nothing inside except for the golden coffin.
This piqued Chen Tian's interest.
He walked slowly to the golden coffin in the center of the stone chamber, and after circling around it and finding nothing unusual, he planned to open the coffin to find out.
Chen Tian knew very well that this golden coffin must contain the rare treasures of the Miao family's ancestors.
Then he pressed his hands on the lid of the coffin and slowly pushed it away with the strength of his upper body.
Since the lid was made of gold, its weight was so extraordinary that an ordinary person would not be able to open it alone.
But for Chen Tian, it was a piece of cake.
When the lid of the coffin was opened, a white skeleton was lying inside, and a sword was placed beside it, and on the other side of the sword was a delicate brocade box made of ebony.
Chen Tian thought that the owner of this white bone should be the ancestor of the Miao family, and at the same time sighed that no matter how capable a person is and how beautiful he is when he is alive, in the end it is just a passing cloud, and there is only a pile of white bones after death.
He made a gesture to the white bones and said, "Senior, I don't mean to offend your old man, I will leave here if I take something, I hope you don't be surprised." β
If this white bone had thoughts, hearing this, he would definitely be stunned by Chen Tian.
After Chen Tian finished speaking, he unceremoniously took away the sword and the brocade box, and then forcefully closed the lid of the coffin.
He pulled out his sword, and a red light flashed away, only to see that the seven-foot long sword was red all over, and the word "Chixiao" was engraved on the sword.
Chen Tian muttered to himself: "I'll go, this... This turned out to be the legendary Chixiao Sword, he must like it when it was given to Chu Xuan, this Miao family ancestor really has a lot of treasures. β
After sighing, he opened the brocade box in his hand again, and suddenly a dazzling light came out of the box.
Chen Tianxia subconsciously used his hand to cover his eyes.
