For archaeologists, it is normal to explore dangerous places in the world, and their goals in life are only two things: to explore, to keep exploring, and to face the deadly traps that are everywhere. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Brian Copperbeard, one of the best explorers of Azeroth, spent the first 200 years of his life like a never-ending, passionate chariot that left his footprints in various places of interest in Azeroth, he once fished in the ruins of the trolls of Gulabash in the Valley of Thorns, dug for antiquities in the windy sands of Silisus, studied the ancient knowledge of Thorville in the sands of Ordam, was the first to be allowed to enter the Hall of Origins, and even brought out the "Origin Stone" of explorers, not to mention his recent adventures in Northrend.

With his disciple Harrison Jones and his trusted teammates, he wanders through the ancient city of Eldraine Nirub, a spider-like dungeon that Brian loves to die of.

But just as he was about to continue digging deep into the ruins of the ancient kingdom to pan for gold, a letter from Dick summoned him to the cold Storm Cliffs, not to capture the battlefield to kill the enemy, or anything else, but because there was a legacy from the Titans hundreds of thousands of years ago.

The outermost Earth Sacred Palace, the Rock Hall, the Furnace of Will and the Lightning Hall where the Titans gave the Iron Legion elemental powers, and the deepest Titan City Ulduar, the mythical Ancient Kingdom of Creatures, is an irresistible temptation for Brian, and for this, he is even willing to leave everything behind.

"Hey, Copperbeard, I think you'd better not touch that!"

A low voice sounded in Brian's ears, causing the old dwarf to cool his heart from the moment he entered this Earth Sacred Palace, and then he realized that he had subconsciously approached a steel hub in this hall, this reckless move made him afraid, and the ghost knew what deadly things the Titans had left here.

And whatever is here, it is absolutely fatal for a mortal like him.

So he immediately stepped back, stroked the engineering eyes on his face, and thanked his fellow travelers, "Thank you for reminding me, You Scholar!" I'm just a little too excited. ”

Zhou Zhuo, the chubby pandaman, came to the Storm Cairns last night through the portal inside the Narak Brake Engine in Pandaria's Kunlai Mountain, and he was still in the Splendid Valley to study the newly cleared Demon Ancient Palaces, and he was also dispatched by Dick to come here as Brian Copperbeard's deputy to explore the strange rock hall.

Although the panda people have not been around in Azeroth for a long time, they are far ahead of their civilized counterparts when it comes to ancient secrets, and the reason for this is that the panda people are very close to knowledge and history, and they have even given birth to organizations such as the Traveling Scholars that specialize in the preservation of historical documents and knowledge.

Zhou Zhuo is the best among the traveling scholars, so in terms of exploring the secrets of the Titans, his insight will not be much worse than Brian's, after all, the Titan ruins are the most well preserved in Pandaria.

The chubby panda man was still wearing the robe full of words written before, the difference was that he also wore a pair of precision engineering glasses on his face, Zhou Zhuo was not very used to this kind of heavy equipment, but with this kind of thing that could detect most of the traps, their safety in this adventure was greatly increased.

At this time, 2 hours had passed since Brian and Zhou Zhuo entered the Rock Hall, and they had successfully explored the first half of the Rock Hall, with an Earth Spirit Elite who could sneak in the earth following behind them to protect their safety.

Only when they really entered this hall that had been sealed in dust for tens of thousands of years, did Brian and Zhou Zhuo realize that what Dick said before was correct, the overall road of the rock hall was complicated, and in tens of thousands of years, the steel dwarves had dug a lot of secret passages here, similar to the Hidden Soldier Cave, and it was definitely not a good idea to let the army enter here without knowing what risks existed on the road ahead, and this place was full of mysterious facilities left by the Titans, and if you were not careful, it would cause a catastrophe.

"I think this is where the Titans infused the bodies of those Iron Dwarves!"

Zhou Zhuo picked up a piece of iron engraved with steel magic patterns from the dusty ground, examined it carefully, and then said to Brian, who was studying the stone gate in front of him, "Look at these patterns, I feel the breath of life from above, and these magic patterns, I have seen them in the storage room of the traveling scholar, yes, I remember very clearly, this is a technique about life and steel, and it is very similar to the technique of life and rock in the Naraksha engine." ”

Zhou Zhuo's voice did not interrupt Brian's observation, attentiveness and concentration are good qualities that determine how far an explorer can go, the old dwarf does not lack this quality, his left hand is wearing an enchanted glove, and he is carefully rubbing on the stone gate in front of him that is more than 10 meters high, looking for a way to open the gate, he said casually,

"I have a feeling that there is a secret behind this door, and I believe it will be a big discovery! Yes, I'm sure, it's around here! It can't hide from old Brian's eyes, so let's find out. ”

As he spoke, Brian adjusted the resolution of his engineering eyes, and the pattern of the gate became clearer, and the lines formed by time were clearly visible on it, and Brian's fingers followed those cracked lines all the way up, and he had a hunch that he could only find them by following these lines...

"Click, click, click"

Brian's finger had just moved up three inches when the door in front of him suddenly made a sound of gear collision, and the gate that had been sealed in dust for tens of thousands of years opened, and the dust mixed with the mechanism was flying, like a small dust storm.

"Ahem, cough, cough..."

Brian took a few steps back, dodging the flying dust, and then looked at Zhou Zhuo with a confused face, the panda man's left hand had just been removed from a stone brick on the wall, and the plain stone brick, under the accidental touch of the panda man, was collapsing inward, obviously, Zhou Zhuo inadvertently touched the mechanism that opened the door.

"What did you touch? Scholar, in this kind of place, you can't just press anything! I've said it before!"

The old dwarf pointed at Zhou Zhuo with a thunderous face, and the latter spread his hand innocently and helped the black engineering glasses on his eyes,

"Uh... I just, I just touched it casually, I swear I didn't press it randomly, it just turned on... It's none of my business!"

The old dwarf's eyes widened, but then, looking closely at the slowly opening stone gate, he waved his hand,

"Forget it, this might just be an accident, there are too many mechanisms here, well... This is a door that has been opened by nature, and there should be no danger, let old Brian go in and take a look, and I think I will surely find the ancient court that Dick was talking about. ”

The old dwarf chattered while taking off his digging pickaxe from behind his back, and pressed it on his glasses, two rays of light lit up, dispelling the darkness in front of him, and Zhou Zhuo also cautiously took out a traveling scholar scroll from his waist bag behind him, pinched it in his hand, and followed Brian into the hall shrouded in darkness.

"Hmm... Brian, do you feel... Something isn't quite right here... It's too quiet, isn't it?"

The light emitted by Brian's engineering glasses could only illuminate a small part of the darkness in front of him, but it seemed that the darkness around him was getting thicker and thicker, Zhou Zhuo followed him and walked a few steps in the dark, his heart suddenly beat rapidly, he felt that something was not good, so he touched the old dwarf's shoulder, and the latter also said with some doubts,

"yes, if it's really the mysterious ancient court, it should at least have some lighting equipment, wait, I remember I brought magic fireworks!"

Brian handed the digging pick in his hand to Zhou Zhuo, then rummaged through the leather bag behind his back, and finally took out a black wooden stick, twisted it casually, and a purple light lit up, illuminating everything in front of the two people.

After 2 seconds.

"Uh... In your opinion, is this stone statue suitable to be placed here?"

"Well, according to our records, there are often stone statues like this in the ruins of the Titans, usually to commemorate something, so it's normal... Wait, she's got a weapon in her hand... I don't think it's good, Brian, we'd better hurry..."

"Intruders! How dare you break into this sacred hall, leaving your filthy lives behind!"

Under the reflection of purple light, the female stone statue more than 10 meters high in front of the two people suddenly opened her eyes, which shone with angry flames, she raised the war hammer in her hand, darker than the darkness, surging energy like flowing water all over the space of the hall, just like the dark wings of the giantess, this action also made the dust in the hall fly, looking like the end of the world.

Brian and Zhou Zhuo glanced at each other, and let out a miserable scream at the same time,

"Run!"

Zhou Zhuo subconsciously threw the scroll in his hand, and the wandering scholar scroll burst into a red flame, slowing down the giantess's pursuit for a moment, allowing the two explorers to escape from the dark hall, Brian ran to the mechanism of the wall just now, and smashed it with a hard punch, and the embedded masonry returned to its original position under the heavy blow, and the stone gate of the gate slowly closed again.

Blocked the angry giantess inside the hall.

"Whew, whew. ”

Zhou Zhuo lay on the ground, panting and panting, the experience just now was too exciting, while Brian sat on the stone next to him, he wiped the sweat on his face, and said to Zhou Zhuo, "See, You Scholar, this is the end of messing around with the ruins, next time! Don't!

Zhou Zhuo waved his hand weakly, signaling that he knew.

The two unlucky fellows rested for a few minutes and then returned in the direction they came, this branch had already been explored, and there was only danger here, so they were going to look at another branch.

"I think this should be the passage to the Ancient Court, I have a hunch, it's here!"

Brian stood around the large disc in the rock hall, holding his digging pickaxe with an eager expression, he looked at the large snow-covered platform on the left, there seemed to be traces of the iron dwarf's movement in it, he turned his head and said to Zhou Zhuo who was looking in the other direction, "Do you want to come with me to have a look?"

Zhou Zhuo thought for a moment, then nodded,

"Well, this side is full of elemental creatures, and if there really was a tribunal to judge the Titans' creations, it would certainly not be there. ”

Brian grinned, he sniffled and exclaimed,

"Okay, then over here, I smell the big guy, come with me, brave earth spirit, let's rush over and find that ancient court!"
