The real scene in the small palace is a little scary.

It was also like a mountain of bones.

And looking at the different deaths of those people, it doesn't seem like they were frightened to death before they died, but it looks like a euthanasia method, which is very weird and bizarre.

But the bones all had one thing in common, and that was that they were all facing the statue of the goddess in the center, which resembled the queen by seven or eight points.

From the robot's point of view, the jade statue is made of an extremely rare kind of mutton fat white jade, with a round color and no impurities, which can be described as priceless.

Under the jade statue, there are some offerings, such as gold and jade.

There are even two human heads in the center, which looks very hideous and terrifying.

However, this is completely different from what outsiders see.

The illusion that people outside see is the gold, jewelry, and jade everywhere here, and the statue also exudes a smart brilliance, as if it is a living person, which makes people fascinated when they see it, whether it is for beauty, or for those wealth, it can hook people's hearts and souls.

These scenes are not the most terrifying.

The strange thing was the mercenary who had come running earlier.

The man entered, and stood in the corner of an altar under the idol, and stood there, looking very excited and happy.

But when the man was happy, he grabbed a knife on the altar and was playing with self-harm, and cut his body several times, and the blood kept flowing down, and he seemed very happy, as if he did not feel pain.

He stood there, letting the blood slowly flow into a blood groove below, which would make the statue in the center of the altar even more eerie and ghostly, and release a hallucinogenic aura.

The robot walked into the small palace and did not trigger the mechanism on the floor, but after a circle, it recorded the results of the scan.

After coming out, Ye Wudao and Professor Chen checked the content recorded by the robot, and the two couldn't help frowning.

Professor Chen pondered for a long time before he realized that the bleeding altar was also a very delicate and rare mechanism, which seemed to achieve some kind of equilibrium through liquid.

However, after the liquid flows into the blood tank, it triggers a certain chemical reaction, which will create a hallucinogenic aura, so that people fall into some kind of illusion and cannot get out.

But Ye Wudao looked at the other side.

He found in the robotic records that underneath the altar was a movable mechanism arranged in the shape of a nine-square lattice.

According to his guess, there should be two ways to open the mechanism in the small palace, one is the most primitive and cruel sacrifice method, such as the two human heads on the altar.

And another estimate is the way to solve the puzzle, which is the following nine-square grid, which is to test wisdom.

Ye Wudao felt that it was best to use the second method, because for this kind of nine-square grid puzzle, they often saw more archaeology, and they also knew more and were easy to master.

Another huge advantage is that they carry robots with them.

The robot has strong computing power, and the calculation of the nine-square grid can be simulated by the robot to calculate the best solution.

After making such a plan, Ye Wudao and Professor Chen began to calculate.

With the assistance of the robot, it took about half an hour for the two to calculate a result with an accuracy of about 80.

After the settlement was calculated, the robot was sent out again.

After the robot entered the small palace, it went to the nine-square grid below the altar, and then began to move those plates according to the instructions given by Ye Wudao.

Soon, according to the previous calculation, after the robot moved all the plates to the correct position, it only heard a ding, which seemed to be the sound of the mechanism being opened.

After the mechanism was activated, there was no apparent change.

However, after the nine-square grid was unraveled, a pattern appeared on it, and in the middle of the pattern there was a gem that seemed to drip blood, and there was a groove connecting the grooves on the pattern.

Ye Wudao estimated that the method of opening the mechanism was on this last step.

When he was ready to go in, the mercenary captain said that he would save their companions and would send two of them with him.

In fact, the mercenary captain had already seen the picture taken by the robot, and his team member had cut himself a few times to stop bleeding, and it was estimated that he had already lost too much blood and was about to die.

Ye Wudao guessed that this mercenary captain was greedy because of the treasure inside, and even after the mechanism was opened, except for those that had an effect on the target of this exploration, the other gold and jewels in the small palace belonged to them.

Hearing Ye Wudao say this, the mercenary captain was satisfied, and said that he would fully support them in exploring the ultimate goal.

Ye Wudao shook his head, he didn't pay attention to these mercenaries anymore, so he brought a gas helmet and put it on his head, and entered the small palace under the guidance of the robot.

After entering the small palace, although he had already seen it through the pictures taken by the robot, when he experienced it in person, Ye Wudao still felt a little terrifying.

There are too many dead corpses inside, a considerable number of them are dried corpses, and they are all from the ancient countries of the Western Regions, and there are at least nearly a hundred people lying in this small palace.

Without daring to be distracted, Ye Wudao went directly to the altar and carefully looked at the situation of the mechanism that had been successfully unlocked.

After thinking about it, he took out a small vessel, then walked over to the mercenary who had bled profusely and fainted on the altar, and took some blood from the man.

After taking the blood, Ye Wudao came to the nine-square grid again, and slowly poured the blood onto the gem, allowing the blood to flow along the blood trough.

After the blood slowly flowed and filled the entire pattern, suddenly the nine-square pattern fell into it.

Click!

Immediately, the sound of the mechanism rattling again was heard, and it was obvious that the jade statue on the altar was slightly downward and sunk a few centimeters.

Rumble!

After the jade statue sank in, a very hidden stone door slowly opened at the wall next to the edge.

After the stone door opened, Ye Wudao felt a gust of wind blowing in, causing the hallucinogenic aura in this small palace to begin to dissipate.

Then, after a minute, after detecting the change in air quality through the instrument, Ye Wudao motioned to Professor Chen that they could come in.

But the mercenary captain was the first to come, and when he saw a lot of gold, silver and jewels on the altar, his eyes lit up.

Rich, rich.

When the other mercenaries who came in saw so much treasure, everyone had an excited expression on their faces, and they wanted to pounce on them and take all the treasures with them.

Ye Wudao motioned to him not to take those treasures first, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble, but the mercenary captain didn't care.

As soon as one of the soldiers went up, he grabbed a golden cup and kicked it directly into his pocket.

Not to be outdone, the others began to take the gold, silver and jewels and stuff them into their pockets and backpacks, looking very excited, and their eyes were red.

It's just that no one noticed that while these mercenaries were frantically collecting the treasures there, a few dried corpses moved in the corner of the small palace.

……

After Professor Chen entered, he observed the layout of the small palace, and when he looked around for useful clues, he found a scroll of silk books in a small hidden compartment under the base of the jade statue.

No one knew how Professor Chen found the little dark grid, Ye Wudao observed the jade statue several times and never found it, but he didn't expect Professor Chen to find it easily, and he couldn't help but admire Jiang for being old and spicy.

He wondered what was written on the silk.

But Professor Chen didn't dare to open it directly, he could see that there was something wrong with the gold thread on the silk book, and after he carefully placed the silk book and sealed it, he saw those mercenaries frantically robbing the treasure inside.

He tried to stop it, but he could see that those people were red-eyed, as if they were crazy.

Ye Wudao didn't stop those mercenaries from robbing the treasure, because these people had no way to persuade them at all, and they had guns, so they would attack them if they didn't get it.

I just saw that the mercenary captain touched the jade statue of the goddess, as if he was thinking about how to take down the statue of the goddess, it seems that they don't even plan to let go of the statue.

These people were going to the statue of the goddess, which made Ye Wudao feel a little uncomfortable.

Professor Chen looked at the behavior of these people, and he also frowned and looked a little unhappy.

I wanted to say something, but at this time, the person in charge of the Xingjia expedition suddenly grabbed Professor Chen, and secretly motioned to Professor Chen and Ye Wudao to wink.

Professor Chen understood, and didn't pay attention to those mercenaries, so he and Ye Wudao and a few people first released the robot to pass through the open stone gate.

After the people of the Xing family passed, the mercenary captain turned around and was about to ask, but when he saw that several people had already entered the stone gate, the mercenary captain suddenly noticed that the dried corpses in the hall were moving, and he couldn't help but have a pupil in his eyes.

Realizing that something bad was going to happen, the mercenary captain waved to several of his henchmen, and then took the lead in rushing towards the stone gate.

Whoa!

At this time, a few black shadows suddenly rushed out of the small hall, and I saw that it was a kind of snake with a bright red color and a very small body, and its body was as dark red as blood.

The red snake emerged from the corpse and rushed to one of the mercenaries with lightning speed, biting him on the neck.

Ahh

The bitten mercenary didn't have time to let out a loud scream, only to fall to the ground and die after only half of the shout.

At the same time, people were bitten by the little red snake one after another, and they fell to the ground and died.

The other mercenaries who were a little farther away saw that many dried corpses were moving, and after a small red snake came out of the dried corpses, they were frightened and did not dare to snatch those treasures again, and after giving up smartly, they quickly fled with the mercenary captain to Shimen.

And those mercenaries who were slow to react, and who didn't even react, fell to blood mold, and they were bitten by a dozen little red snakes that burst out in just one breath, and then fell to the ground and died.

The remaining few mercenaries didn't have time to run to Shimen and them, and they also took a lot of treasures, but they wanted to return from the same way.

However, when they ran outside the small palace, they did not know that the mechanism here had changed after it was opened, and the original staircase had disappeared, and instead a stone wall blocked them in the small palace.

At this time, the little red snakes swam towards them.

When they saw this, they were all frightened, and even if they wanted to go back and chase the mercenary captain, it would be too late.

Seeing that they were surrounded by little red snakes, in desperation, they took out their pistols and began to shoot desperately, some of them wielding daggers wildly.

Click!

At this time, after Professor Chen and the Xing family's team, who were the first to pass, passed, the stone gate seemed to be closing.

The mercenary captains in the back shouted frantically, and they almost rushed to the stone gate.

At this time, the stone door began to close slowly.

It wasn't until the mercenary captain and the three of his men got through, and the remaining two were only halfway there, that suddenly the stone door fell down and pressed the two men underneath.

The two men were almost cut in half, and kept wailing for help, and after a while they were silent, and died miserably.

As for the few who were surrounded by the little red snakes, they were already dead and had no movement.

After the door was closed, Ye Wudao and the others who came in first all had a feeling of the rest of their lives.

And at this time, they saw an empty small square of about 100 square meters in the darkness.

This small square is lined with large stone sculptures, and a walkway in the middle looks like it is completely paved with boulders, leading to a staircase in front of it.

And right above the staircase, there stands a majestic temple.

After seeing this temple, the expressions of Professor Chen and the others were a little excited.

When they finally found the temple, they were not far from finding the entrance to the ruins of the Shigan River.

With a bit of excitement and a bit of apprehension, a few people began to climb up the stairs.

There were nearly fifteen people in the team before, but now seven mercenaries have died, and there are only eight people left in the team, which can be said to be half dead and wounded.

It took such a big price to find the temple, but the next entrance is even more dangerous, according to the description on the mural, there will be ghosts when the entrance appears, and that is the more difficult existence to deal with.

After a while, everyone and the robot went up to the top of the stairs and arrived at the gate of the temple.

The door of the temple is completely closed, only the two stone statues at the entrance do not seem to have a normal orientation, and it is clear that there are also mechanisms here.

This one was relatively simple, and several people worked together to circle around the stone statue and adjust the position of the stone statue to the normal direction.

Ye Wudao walked to the door, took a deep breath, and then slowly exerted a lot of strength, and the door of the temple slowly opened with a ghostly sound.

Then there was a strange sound from the temple, and at the same time, a cold aura rushed in, making people shudder, and it felt like the gates of hell had been opened.
