Chapter 1205: The Land of Hope (8)
"Impossible, they won't be able to enter the palace without the Dragon King's seal!" Zhu Zhongshi resolutely disbelieved that the people of Pony King and Li Rongfa had entered the palace.
"Are you sure they can't get in?" Meng Zitao asked.
Zhu Zhongshi was slightly stunned: "This ...... At least nine out of nine, they won't be able to get in. ”
"Why are you so sure?" Meng Zitao was very curious.
Zhu Zhongshi asked rhetorically: "Do you know why the palace was built here?"
Meng Zitao shook his head: "You just say it." ”
Zhu Zhongshi said: "Because this was originally a cave leading to the underground, there was a magma pool below, from which poisonous smoke and fire monkeys often came out, and in order to prevent the fire monkeys from coming out and hurting the people, the king of Jingjie at that time built a fortress here. ”
"What are you talking about fire monkeys?" Meng Zitao couldn't help but ask.
Zhu Zhongshi shook his head: "I don't know what it is, the information I got says so, it says that fire monkeys like to eat people, but they can't leave the lava environment for a long time, and the king of Jingjing at that time thought of a way to make some water guns to deal with them, but I didn't expect the effect to be very outstanding, after killing hundreds of fire monkeys, there were no fire monkeys." ”
After that, the old king was worried that the fire monkey would still appear, so he simply converted this place into a royal palace to guard the exit. ”
When Meng Zitao heard this, he said: "Things shouldn't be so simple, it was a feudal system at that time, and I don't believe that King Jingjie would be so kind." ”
Zhu Zhongshi smiled and said: "You are right, in fact, it was the King of Absolute Perfection who discovered a special plant near the magma pool, and eating its fruit can improve energy, and if you take it regularly, you can also prolong your life." The elixir for longevity was developed from this. Therefore, the old king also designed a lot of mechanisms in the palace. In order to protect this secret. ”
Meng Zitao had a guess in his heart: "In other words, the demise of the Elite Kingdom is likely to be related to that kind of fruit?"
Zhu Zhongshi spread his hands: "That's all the information, I don't know how the Elite Kingdom perished, maybe what you said is right." ”
"It's strange to believe you!" Meng Zitao muttered in his heart, and then said: "You said before that Yonghe has a bell, where is that bell?"
Zhu Zhongshi looked around: "It's gone, it should have been taken away by the Pony King." ”
Meng Zitao didn't hold out hope anymore, and said: "Don't talk about this, you just said that they didn't go in, just because the palace gate must be opened with the 'Dragon King Seal', otherwise it will trigger the mechanism?"
Zhu Zhongshi smiled: "I think eight or nine are not far from ten, and few people can resist the temptation of immortality." ”
All this is just speculation, what the truth is, only the parties know, and moreover, Meng Zitao felt that it was unlikely that things would be so simple, so he Tao walked to the stone house and looked carefully.
The stone house looks a bit Western style, about ten meters high, with a dome and no windows. However, in this place, it doesn't really make a difference whether there are windows or not.
Meng Zitao looked around, but did not find a place where the Dragon King Seal could be placed, and asked, "How can the gate be opened?"
Zhu Zhongshi also looked a little puzzled: "I only know that I need to use the Dragon King Seal." ”
"Really?" Meng Zitao glanced back at Zhu Zhongshi.
Zhu Zhongshi said: "It's all this time, how can I lie to you? Maybe the place is hidden." ”
Meng Zitao raised his head and looked at the roof: "Can you go up?" Or maybe the Pony King has already entered from above?"
"This ......" Zhu Zhongshi didn't know how to answer for a while: "I don't think it's very likely, in the information I got, it is clearly stated that you can't enter without the Dragon King Seal." ”
"Then have you gone up to have a look?" Meng Zitao asked.
"How did we have time to go up just now?" Zhu Zhongshi shook his head.
"Your people go up and have a look?" Meng Zitao smiled.
Zhu Zhongshi knew that Meng Zitao was a ruthless character, and he seemed to be discussing, if he didn't agree, he would definitely turn his face. He only hesitated slightly, and then asked his two subordinates to prepare and go upstairs to reconnoitre.
Zhu Zhongshi's subordinates did not hesitate, and walked out of two people, one holding a launcher in his hand, and the flying tiger claw used the power of the launcher to shoot up to the roof and hook it.
The two tugged at the rope, felt firm, and began to climb up the stone wall. They were all trained, and their bodies were as light as swallows, but in a moment, they rose four or five meters.
Seeing that at this time, his subordinates were fine, Zhu Zhongshi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, however, the situation suddenly changed, and one of them suddenly trembled, and then his hands were loosened, and the whole person fell from mid-air and fell heavily to the ground, making a tooth-aching muffled sound.
Suddenly, another person was suspended in mid-air, not knowing whether it was up or down.
Zhu Zhongshi saw something suddenly poking out from the wall, and hurriedly shouted, "Come down quickly!"
Zhu Zhongshi's subordinates were very obedient, and hurriedly slipped down from mid-air, but unfortunately they were still a step slow, and what poked out from the side of the city wall suddenly sent out a rapid arrow down, and the man let out a miserable scream from his mouth, and fell to the ground, and he really turned into a hedgehog, struggled a few times, and then did not move.
Seeing that the person who was alive just now turned into two corpses, there was silence now.
Half-ringing, Zhu Zhongshi's eyes widened angrily, and he said angrily to Meng Zitao: "Now you are satisfied!"
Meng Zitao frowned: "What do you mean by this, it seems that I deliberately wanted to harm them! Besides, it was you who said that as long as you use the Dragon King Seal, you can open the gate, and when you get here, you say that you don't know how to operate it, what other good way is there besides going up and seeing? If so, why don't you say it?"
Zhu Zhongshi was speechless, in the end, there is no one who is right or wrong in this matter, the key is who is strong, who is reasonable, now he has a request for Meng Zitao, no matter how bad Meng Zitao does, as long as he does not let him die, he must endure it.
Meng Zitao's tone softened a little: "Zhu Lao, I can understand your feelings, I don't want to see this accident, the top priority is to find a way to open the door, if you can't even open the door, we can't cooperate." ”
Zhu Zhongshi was also a little big at this time, he went to the door by himself and begged Meng Zitao to cooperate, but now that this situation has been made, even if Meng Zitao regrets it, it is reasonable.
"Wait a minute, I'll see ......"
"Okay. ”
In fact, with his ability, Meng Zitao has already found the key point, and the reason why he just proposed to let Zhu Zhongshi's subordinates go up to inspect it is to let them die. He had already sensed that Zhu Zhongshi's subordinates had a thick bloody aura, and he didn't know how many lives had been stained on his hands, if this kind of person was not sent to hell, would he still be kept for dinner?
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Meng Zitao saw that Zhu Zhongshi was still observing and groping, and he didn't want to wait any longer, but now he was racing against time, no one knew what other monsters existed here, and there were two parties that needed to be guarded against, and he didn't want others to take the lead.
"Zhu Lao, have you found out?"
"I'm not sure if it's this. ”
Zhu Zhongshi was referring to a stone brick in the corner of a wall, which did not seem to be special except for a little protrusion.
Meng Zitao knew that this stone brick was a mechanism, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this stone brick?"
"I don't know, so let's be a dead horse and a live horse doctor. ”
Saying that, Zhu Zhongshi pressed the stone brick inside, but it had no effect, he didn't give up, and used a tool to pry, but he also didn't move.
"No, am my guess wrong?" Zhu Zhongshi was a little puzzled, and did some experiments, but the stone bricks still didn't react at all.
Meng Zitao said: "Zhu Lao, it seems that you should have made a mistake. ”
Zhu Zhongshi sighed: "Hey, I was wrong, but other than this, I don't see anything wrong." ”
Meng Zitao said: "Will you fall into a misunderstanding?"
"What do you mean?"
"Maybe it's not that there's a problem with this stone brick, but that there's a problem with the stone brick next to it?"
While speaking, Meng Zitao tried the stone brick on the left, but there was no result, he tried the stone brick on the right again, and when he pressed it hard, he was slowly pushed in.
