No.9 The staggered arrows are the greeters of the ruins

This ruin is surprisingly large. Xiao Ye walked casually with this leisurely idea - there was only one way, so she didn't have to worry about getting lost in the dim underground.

There are candles on the wall, so you don't have to worry about the most troublesome lighting, at least you can see the ground under your feet vaguely. The content of the mural is very rich, and it seems that the theme is some kind of ancient ritual, and the text next to the picture records a lot of content, but unfortunately Xiao Ya has just mastered modern writing, and he doesn't know ancient writing at all.

The so-called pain of illiteracy.

I don't know how Ash and the others, who were full of worries at this time, would have felt if they knew that Xiao Ye was admiring the mural so happily.

Along the way, Saya saw a lot of supersonic bats hanging upside down on the top of the ruins. Most of them just opened their eyes and looked curious when they saw themselves, and a few of them were afraid that the world would not rush down and wanted to bite and try, but unfortunately, the target of the attack was not selected.

As a result, each of them received a hand knife that was neither light nor heavy, and they did not dare to approach with teary eyes. After all, Sayo-kun is a creature that can fight against the ironclad tyrannosaurus.

As for the trap of one of the well-known specialties inside the ruins, I have also encountered many of them.

When you take a step, the ground beneath your feet is slightly sunken downward. The magnitude of the sag is very small, and if it weren't for the fact that Xiao Ya's senses were sensitive enough, he would not have been able to detect it.

Not again. Xiao Ye was not surprised at all, and skillfully leaned back.

"Ding. "The sound of metal colliding with masonry.

This is the most common type of mechanism in this ruin - the floor tiles will sink when loaded, causing the crossbow machine in the wall to fire metal arrows at the sunken floor tiles.

After at least a hundred years, the crossbow machine has not been damaged, and I have to admire the fineness of the mechanism.

The speed of the sharp arrows is quite fast, and if you change to a well-trained Pokémon, you may be able to dodge it, and it will be a little dangerous for humans. However, this level of attack is easy for Saya to dodge. Judging the direction of the arrow's flight through the sound of the wind, and then making the right dodge, has almost become a physical instinct for Sayra, and it is not difficult to lose the power of nature.

And the biggest impact of the disappearance of the force of nature is the loss of most of the attack power. Dodging can also be compensated for by experience and reflexes, but with the power of the human body, it really can't cause much damage. If the force of nature is still there, even with his bare hands, Xiao Ye can easily shatter the stone gate at the entrance.

In this way, he walked uneventfully until a heavy stone wall appeared in front of him.

Impasse?

Puzzled, Saya stepped forward. Then, the floor tiles under his feet fell again.

This time, the familiar sound of the wind did not appear, replaced by the tremor of the earth and the heavy roar of the earth.

Behind him, a stone wall slowly descended from above, and it seemed that it was about to block the way back. However, Xiao Ye didn't make any moves—although he had time to escape before the stone wall fell, there was no way out, so he might as well explore how to move forward.

By the candlelight of the wall lamp behind him before the stone wall fell, Xiao Ye saw clearly the stone wall in front of him blocking the way.

In the center of the wall, there is a picture divided into sixteen panels. The one in the lower right corner is blank, and the other fifteen panels are painted with complex ancient characters.

Then, the stone wall fell. A misty darkness fell in the slit between the two walls.

Saya blinked. Is the one you just saw ......

Tentatively stepped forward, touched the part with the picture engraved, and sure enough, I felt the gap between the lattices and a slight shaking.

This kind of puzzle-like game is actually not uncommon. Moving the slate and arranging the words on it in the correct order is probably the way to open the door.

So, the trickiest problem came: Xiao Ye didn't know ancient words at all, let alone use his sense of touch to recognize the content of the text in such a dark place.

It is still the pain of illiteracy.

Standing stunned for three seconds, Xiao Ye decisively gave up reasoning - he didn't know a word and really couldn't push - and casually pushed the stone slab above the gap to the next floor.

Then he slammed sideways, and the arrows that flew out from under the stone slab flew past the tip of his nose.

Sure enough, the indiscriminate movement of the slate was punished. Saya shrugged. It seems that the slate not only needs to be moved to the correct position, but also needs to follow a specific order. This information should be mentioned in the text next to the mural or on the stone slab, but Xiao Ye can't read it at all.

So, the existence of a wounding trap may be a good thing. With this error prompt, Saya can instead use this to determine whether the slate is moving in the correct order. There is only one vacant slot, and a little attempt will work. Otherwise, you're probably going to be stuck here forever.

Hopefully there are enough arrows in the trap. Xiao Ye sighed silently and began to try to paint in a weird style.

"This is it!" the cloud pointed to a mottled stone door behind the foliage.

Xiao Tian nodded slightly, his gaze swept over every detail of the stone door, and then stopped at a small depression on the right hand side.

The three of them watched as the silver-haired boy stepped forward and inlaid a small stone-like object into the groove of the stone door. Then, the stone gate, which had been unshakable no matter what, shook, and gradually rose in the dust.

"Awesome...... How did you do that?!" Xiaoyun said in amazement. Could it be that by sticking a stone in the crack of the door, you can open the door?

Ash looked at the bottomless darkness inside the ruins, "Where are you, can you hear—"

Ash's shouts echoed through the cave, but no one answered.

"After all this time, I must have gone quite deep. Xiao Mao frowned and looked at his watch. Damn, I knew that I would have stopped her from going deeper......

Xiao Tian was silent for a moment and spoke, "You go and tell Dr. Oki about the situation, don't come near here again." ”

Then, step into the ruins without hesitation.

"Hey, Xiaotian, what are you doing!" Ash's shout was drowned out by the roar of the stone gate descending.

Xiao Mao grabbed Xiao Zhi who wanted to rush in, "If you go, you can only add to the chaos." I don't even have Pokémon, what can I do?"

Ash gritted his teeth unwillingly. Xiao Mao is right, an unarmed child can go in and do nothing but drag his feet.

"It's okay, Xiao Tian has such a powerful partner, he will definitely be able to bring Xiao Ye back safely!" It's not a scene, but I sincerely believe in the abilities of Xiao Tian and that Pokémon.

"Let's go back. Xiao Mao glanced back at the stone door that had been closed again, and turned to leave.

If you become a trainer, you won't be so powerless when it comes to this kind of thing. A hint of eagerness rose in the hearts of the three of them.

In fact, the key in Xiao Tian's hand can only open the door of the ruins once - that is, there is no way back after entering. This is completely contrary to the original plan, which is to go back the way you came and open the door with a key.

But Xiaotian still made such a choice without hesitation. For one, there is theoretically another exit at the other end of the ruins - if not damaged. Although the two did not know each other, Xiao Tian could not let a person who should not have been involved in this matter be in danger in the ruins.

There is only one path, and as long as you go straight, you will definitely find him. The child named "Little Night" who strayed into the ruins.
