Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Underground Treasure Trove
Lin Shuo and Anne walked to the depths of the main hall, went up a few steps, and came to the dragon chair.
If it were to be replaced by such a luxurious dragon chair in normal times, Lin Shuo would probably go up and sit and experience it.
But he's not in the mood right now.
The burrow of the hooked snake was directly below the dragon chair, and the smell of the beast was seeping up from the carpet under the dragon chair.
Lin Shuo didn't rush to open the dragon chair, but held the back of the dragon chair with his hand, took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket with the other hand, and took out one and lit it.
Your own family knows your own affairs.
With this kind of knot, Lin Shuo knew what symptoms he would have, and he had to adjust as soon as possible.
But this time, it seems that Lin Shuo overreacted, and he didn't have any symptoms.
"Mr. Lin, you seem to ...... It's normal. Anne said beside her.
"......" Lin Shuo himself was a little strange.
This symptom has been plaguing Lin Shuo for six years. He knew when he was going to do it and when he was fine.
But this time, it seems that things have improved. I thought I should take a cigarette and take a slow, but I found that I didn't need it.
"Maybe it's because, you know, that was the case that night. Anne guessed.
Anne didn't major in psychology in college, but she knew a little. She knows that the onset of any mental illness is often triggered.
For Lin Shuo, this trigger may consist of two parts.
One is about the memory of the hooked snake, and the other is the confusion about the Kunlun Mountain incident.
Now that the confusion has lessened, the trigger is naturally no longer valid.
"It may or may not be. Lin Shuo himself didn't know, "But anyway, it's not a bad thing." ”
"Hmm. ”
While speaking, Lin Shuo extinguished the cigarette butt, grabbed the armrest of the dragon chair, and tried his strength left and right.
This dragon chair made of pure gold was easily pushed away by Lin Shuo.
Lin Shuo didn't actually put much effort into it, naturally not because the dragon chair itself was very light, but because there were two slide rails under this dragon chair.
Between the two slide rails, directly below where the dragon chair was originally located, there is a carpet with a color that is obviously different from the side side, which is pure gold, unlike the carpet with gold patterns on the bottom next to it.
The carpet is made up of a single stone slab with two pull rings embedded in the slate to keep the surface roughly flat.
Lin Shuo grabbed the pull ring with both hands, and with a slight pull, the entire two-meter-square stone slab was picked up by him.
Behind the stone slabs, a glittering entrance was revealed, and the light inside was much brighter than the oil lamps of this hall.
This is a golden strong light, which makes the two people who have been in a relatively dark environment for a long time unconsciously squint their eyes slightly.
After his eyes adjusted to this brightness, Lin Shuo finally saw clearly, this was an entrance to the deeper underground, with a row of steps leading diagonally to an unknown place.
Lin Shuo entered the passage first, followed by Anne.
Later, the two of them discovered that the light source here was just below the steps, which was a river of magma flowing quietly.
The steps, made of unknown materials, are translucent, insulating and filtering the red glow of the magma into a near-white.
The four walls of this passage are inlaid with golden mineral crystals, so that the underground light source is refracted into gold.
The urban part of this dragon city is either gloomy or royal, but in any case, it is still within the scope of Lin Shuo and Anne's knowledge.
And once you enter this passage, everything around you seems to become magical.
However, for Lin Shuo, he had no intention of appreciating the magical scene here, he just observed the terrain here at the shortest speed and confirmed that it was safe.
Because of the size of this passage, the hooked snake can't get in.
Slowly climbing the stairs, Lin Shuo knew that this kind of security would not last long.
Here, the aura of the hooked snake and the ba-snake is getting stronger and stronger, and the battle is quietly approaching.
After walking for about two or three minutes, the scene ahead changed again.
There is a fork in the road.
One of them was similar to the one used today, with white floors and golden walls, and the direction was straight.
The other intersection was much more brutal, a large, irregularly shaped hole, nearly ten meters in diameter, and surrounded by golden crystal ores.
It looks like it was blown up with *.
"This blown out entrance is probably the source of the first earthquake. Anne observes for a moment and says, "I don't know who did it." ”
Being reminded by Anne like this, Lin Shuo felt the need to go inside.
The other party blew up such a big hole, there must be a picture, go in and see what traces are inside, maybe you can guess the purpose of the other party's trip to Dragon City.
"Let's go, go in and have a look. Lin Shuo said.
The two of them entered the cave and found that there was indeed a lot of space inside.
It's still the interior of the palace, but there's not much inside.
In other words, the original things in this have been moved.
And in the inner corner of the palace buried under the Dragon City, Lin Shuo found another hole.
Compared to the large hole that was blown out before, this hole is much smaller, probably only for one person to climb into, but it is a bit like a robbery hole dug by tomb robbers.
Lin Shuo sniffed carefully at the entrance of this cave, and roughly understood who did this small hole.
"There's the smell of Liu Shunfu here. Lin Shuo said, "It seems that this Dragon King envoy really didn't tell the truth, here, he has already been here." ”
It seems that Mr. Lin was right. This is not only the lair of the Black Water Dragon King, but also the lair of the Dragon King's envoy. Anne said, "His previous actions were actually a strategy to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, so that we can defend this place for him." ”
"It's a pity that after a few games, the opponent is still superior. Lin Shuo shook his head, "The Black Water Dragon King is out of control, and Liu Shunfu is seriously injured. Our progress has also been greatly delayed, and we have not yet rushed over. ”
"Mr. Lin, you see, there are obviously traces of furniture or shelves on these stone bricks. Anne looked around, and finally her gaze fell on the stone bricks on the ground, "The things in here have been emptied. ”
Lin Shuo looked down, and sure enough, it was so.
"This dragon city is either from the Jin Dynasty or from the Yuan Dynasty. Anne judged, "And since the architectural style is the style of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is more likely that the Jin Dynasty is more likely." Here, it is very likely to be the secret treasure house of the Dajin Dynasty, but it has already been accessed by others. ”
"Let's go. Lin Shuo said, "We are not here for this, so there is no need to bother ourselves." ”
Anne nodded, followed Lin Shuo out of the underground treasure house, and muttered, "But if you think about it, this thing is quite scary. These people not only got the zombie oil lamp, but also obtained the treasure house of the Dajin Dynasty, and if they really wanted to do something next, no one could stop them. ”
The two returned to the passage and continued to walk underground, and after a while, a stone door appeared in front of them.
Lin Shuo's nose twitched, and he confirmed that the hooked snake was not far behind this stone door.
Up to two or three kilometers.
"Listen to the structure inside. Lin Shuo said in a deep voice.
"Good. Anne immediately fell to the ground, her ears pressed against the stone door, and closed her eyes.
As the name suggests, this trick of the Liemen Su family is to listen to the mountains with your ears, so as to find the path.
This sounds amazing, but this kind of ability also has certain limitations.
Like Lin Shuo's "Hearing the Wind and Identifying the Position", this stunt must also meet some conditions.
Lin Shuo needs the support of the wind direction when he hears the wind, and at the same time he is afraid of water. Anne's stunt, on the other hand, is afraid of viscous shock absorption, and it must have a sound source.
Through the sound of footsteps, Anne can hear the location of nearby creatures, through the sound of the wind in the mountains and the rustle of leaves, Anne can know the geography of the mountain, and through the slight displacement and friction of the rocks underground, Anne can sense the epicenter of the earthquake.
At this time, Anne needs a voice to help her probe the secrets behind the stone door.
The first thing she had to do was find the voice.
She waited for a while, and it was very quiet behind the stone door, until a minute later, she heard the sound of water dripping.
This drop of water, from a certain dark river underground, slowly leaked through the gap in the stone, slowly condensed on the top of the stone dome in the opposite space, and finally fell, falling into the water directly below.
The ensuing sound of water droplets first spread in all directions, then bounced and scattered by the surrounding stone walls, and finally the energy was gradually exhausted by the air and completely disappeared.
In Anne's mind, a hologram was gradually forming, but this drop of water could only make a draft in her head.
She needs the next drop.
After another minute, a second drop of water goes through the same step and falls to the surface.
"It's an underground lake. Anne closed her eyes and whispered, "There is a ten-meter-wide stone brick floor around it, less than a meter above the water. It is surrounded by stone walls, forty meters high, and this kind of stone wall is the aquatic rock we have just seen, which is not irregular, but the surface is smooth. Mr. Lin, wait a minute, there is another feature in it, which I am not clear yet. ”
The third drop falls.
Anne finally opened her eyes: "In the middle of this lake, there is an altar-like structure, twenty meters high, one hundred meters square, trapezoidal structure, a bit like the Mayan rainforest pyramids, but bigger. ”
"Where is the hooked snake?" Lin Shuo asked.
"Among the features that are currently exposed, there is no one that matches the body of the hooked snake. Anne shook her head, then analyzed, "It's either hiding in the lake or inside the altar. ”
"Good. Lin Shuo nodded with satisfaction, "You stand back." ”
While speaking, Lin Shuo untied the chasing master behind him, clamped the bow under his arm, and then carried the bowstring with one hand.
When Anne walked behind him, Lin Shuo stretched out his hand and slowly moved the stone door open.
