Chapter 146: Cloud Palace (8)
The jack gate is slowly hoisting.
The eyes of the nine of us all fell on this jack gate at this moment.
When a rumbling sound exploded in the ears of each of us, the jack gate was finally released for us.
There is no longer a stone wall in front of you, only stone foam is flying in front of you.
When these countless stone foams floated down in the air, each of us saw in front of us-
I saw a magnificent palace.
This magnificent palace is like a sleeping prehistoric beast, sleeping quietly in the darkness ahead.
On both sides of this magnificent palace, there are stone statues lined up.
Each of these statues is more than two meters tall.
They hold stone pottery in their hands, have stone plates on their heads, wear stone armor, and step on stone piers with their feet.
It's not lifelike, but it allows each of us to see the contours of their faces.
And the palace that stood directly in front of us was gray all over, as if it were made of large stones.
The body of the palace is finished in the shape of a glyph, and the eaves that hang down from the top of the palace are full of round stone plates.
On the roof of this palace sits an eye, which is carved from a large stone more than ten meters long.
Directly in front of this palace sit two palace beams, and at the top of these two palace beams lie on their stomachs two stone animals.
A toad, a giant salamander.
At this moment, we have already seen the whole picture of this palace, and at this moment, Qin Yue has already stepped on the jack gate and walked into the front of this palace.
The eight of us followed Qin Yue's footsteps and walked in.
At the foot of the foot is a straight stone road, and on both sides of the stone road stands a stone figurine.
The distance between this palace and us is about 200 meters, and the width of this stone road can only accommodate four people walking side by side.
Standing on this stone road, Qin Yue didn't move forward.
The eight of us stood behind Qin Yue, and none of us made a sound to disturb Qin Yue.
Gong Yu is already close in front of us, and we can touch it as long as we walk two hundred meters forward.
And at this moment, Qin Yue suddenly stopped.
I wanted to ask Qin Yue why he didn't leave, but when the words came to my lips, I swallowed them back.
After a pause, Qin Yue suddenly took a step forward.
It was also at the moment when Qin Yue took this step that a low muffled sound suddenly came into my ears.
This low, muffled sound came suddenly, and it went even more quickly.
If it weren't for the fact that I saw Uncle Cheng and each of them showing a panicked look, I would have thought that the muffled sound I had just heard was an illusion.
"What was that sound just now?"
Hearing Old Man Qiu's question, I also showed a puzzled look.
"It's a machine sound!"
Qin Yue's voice sounded softly in front of us.
Hearing Qin Yue's words, my whole person immediately felt bad.
Organ?
It's a mechanism, and it's not going to let people live.
"Mechanism? No one has moved around since we entered here, how could we possibly touch the mechanism here?"
Gou Tang raised her question.
"We didn't activate the mechanism, but the jack gate was opened, and now, I don't know how many mechanisms there are here, what kind of mechanism they are. ”
Hearing Qin Yue's words, I subconsciously looked at the stone figurines on both sides of this stone road.
The facial expression of each of these stone figurines is the same, the expression is the same, the posture is the same, and even the stone pottery in the hand is the same.
Stone pottery?
I unconsciously took a step forward, this step so that I could see the stone pottery in the hands of the stone figurines more clearly.
On closer inspection, I found that the stone figurines and the stone pottery are not one.
Although each of these figurines holds a stone pottery in their hands, the relationship between the two is independent.
"You see, the clay in the hands of these figurines seems to be pluckable. ”
When I said this, Uncle Cheng and the others also came to my side.
"Well, that's true, it seems that the stone pottery in their hands is moving. ”
Gu Yicheng's voice sounded beside me.
However, it was also at the moment when Gu Yicheng's voice sounded in my ears that I saw-
I saw a stone pottery suddenly roll down from the hands of a stone figurine.
The stone pottery rolled out of the figurine's hands, and then stumbled all the way to the very center of the stone path.
And at the moment when the first stone pottery rolled down from the hands of the stone figurines, I saw-
I saw all the stone clay in the hands of the stone figurines stumbling down from their hands.
The place where this rolled down turned out to be the very center of the stone path.
It's-
Isn't that biased? Is it so accurate even to roll down?
At this moment, all nine pairs of our eyes fell on the body of the stone pottery that rolled to the ground one by one.
And under our watchful eye, the stone pottery that rolled to the ground began to crack.
Cracked, cracked, and slammed!
The stone pottery that was still intact just now turned out to be so fragmented.
In the broken pottery of a place, I saw—
See the broken pottery in this place!
No, it's not the broken pottery that is moving, but the pieces of broken pottery seem to be pressed under some living creatures, and it is these living creatures that are crushed under the broken pottery that are moving.
And the next moment, these living creatures, crushed under the crumbs of crumbling, revealed their true colors to me.
Scorpion!
Gray scorpions!
There is a scorpion in the stone pottery in the hands of these stone figurines? And is he a living scorpion?
One by one, the scorpions crawled out of the crumbs of pottery and gathered together.
As they gathered, they faced us and raised their scorpion tails at us.
"Not a mutant variant?"
Staring at the scorpion in this place, I actually came up with this sentence by magic.
"At this point, I think everything has returned to its original form, and it is no longer the appearance but the inside. ”
Weng Ping's voice rang softly in the ears of each of us.
"It's no longer the outside that mutates, it's the inside?"
Looking at these scorpions, chewing on Weng Ping's words, I couldn't help but suddenly shudder.
"The insects that we have encountered along the way that have mutated on the surface of the body should be a failure, and these scorpions are the real finished products. ”
In other words, the fact that they can live in this palace has already proved their identity and status. ”
Weng Ping's voice was calm at this moment, calm and unmixed with any human feelings.
"They're coming. ”
There is no need for Weng Ping to remind me, I have seen it at this moment.
The army of scorpions is approaching us step by step, and we are involuntarily retreating at this moment.
"Go back!"
Qin Yue gave us the first order at this moment.
I know that what Qin Yue said about retreating is to let us retreat outside the jack gate.
And at this moment, this is exactly the direction in which we are retreating.
But when we were all already stepping on the jack gate, a low "zizi" sound suddenly sounded behind us.
Hearing this muffled sizzle, we all turned our heads to look behind us.
Immortal Insect King!
The moment we looked behind us, I saw the Immortal Worm King who drove us into the temple.
The Immortal Insect King flapped its four pairs of wings and was looking at us indifferently.
There is a scorpion colony in front and a fairy insect king in the back.
At this moment, we have no way back.
The divine power of this fairy insect king, I have witnessed it with my own eyes.
Those three behemoths had no power to fight back under the hands of this Immortal Insect King, let alone us.
What to do, what are we going to do now?
Uncle Cheng and the others all looked at Qin Yue at this moment, and Qin Yue's face was also extremely ugly.
has reached a desperate situation of life and death, what can Qin Yue do?
"Now, we're all but have to take the plunge. ”
Under the attention of all of us, Qin Yue said this sentence to us in a calm tone.
"What's the all-or-nothing bet?"
Old Man Qiu asked Qin Yue with an anxious expression.
"Go back and rush into that palace. ”
There are no objections, and for us, this is the last resort.
Let's sprint forward, the short stone road of more than 200 meters is not a problem for me as a sprinter.
