Section 107 The Emperor's Capital 12
Thomas put down his precious camera, took two steps forward, and picked up the gem.
It was a square gemstone with symmetrical equilateral angles on all sides, a wide surface, and a staggered V-shaped groove at the bottom. As I said earlier, the sky should be slightly dark, but the sparkle of the gemstone has not faded in the slightest, as if it were not reflecting the brilliance of the outside, but of its own light. The beautiful brilliance and the unique shape of the angular make it appear luxurious and delicate, brilliant and crystalline. Even Thomas can barely be regarded as a wealthy family, and he has seen some jewelry since he was a child. But he had to admit that at this moment he was also attracted to this gem.
And more than that, if you look closely, you will notice that there seems to be a liquid in this gemstone...... Something like clouds or flowing water. I can't tell exactly what it is, but the fluid is spinning and flowing, forming a beautiful little vortex that can barely be distinguished by the naked eye.
I don't know what it is, but first of all, this flawless, in line with the edges and corners of human aesthetics, the shape fully shows that he is inevitable, and can only be an artifact. In other words, it is a product that has been artificially carved and polished.
But how could there be such a thing in this place?
Then again, with the advancement of technology, it is true that it is now possible to make something that looks beautiful but is actually worthless. Among other things, modern glass can definitely make very beautiful products. Even more beautiful than those jewels that have been handed down from the Middle Ages. But in fact, glass is very worthless.
Thomas placed the gemstone on the ground and hammered it with other stones he picked up a few times to confirm that the gem was very hard and not a deceptive product such as glass plastic. Its edges and corners can easily crumble through hard rock, but it does not have any visible wear and tear on its own.
This is supposed to be a real gem, right?
Thomas subconsciously wanted to ask others what was going on, wasn't this a no-man's land, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that he was the only one here.
Lu Wu and Amber are gone. Lu Wu was okay, he said that he wanted to go to the side to have a look before leaving the camp, but Amber disappeared directly for some reason.
Thomas was still terrified before, looking around for amber. But the next cliff slide and avalanche attracted his full attention. Driven by the flaming gossip spirit, he completely forgot about Lu Wu and Amber.
Could it be ...... What did they do?
Although this thought just jumped into Thomas's mind for no reason. However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth.
Why would Master Lu Wu make such a seemingly meaningless trip? Of course, for ordinary people, it can be said that this is just to satisfy their adventurous nature. But for a master who lives in seclusion in society and has supernatural abilities, it certainly can't be explained so casually.
From the very beginning, Thomas believed that Lu Wu must have a purpose. That's why he is dead and dead-faced, as a piece of kraft candy and a big light bulb, he must be mixed up. Touching those mysterious powers is Thomas's dream in this life!
And this gem in my hand seems to prove a lot of things. Could it be that there is a mysterious treasure here?
As he spoke, the sky became even darker. It is only then that the beauty of this gem can be further understood—an indescribable pure white light flowing from its surface, making it appear holy and mysterious.
Even the most discerning and arrogant connoisseur in the world will stare at it at this moment.
And most importantly, the surface of the gemstone is very smooth, and there are no traces of time such as dust. Does this show that it was just left here, perhaps after the cliff collapsed? Was it not a natural event? Or was it a natural event, or was there some kind of man-made element involved?
But...... Where did Lu Wu and Amber go?
It shouldn't be ...... Entered the area of the natural disaster just now...... Engulfed by mountains or avalanches, right?
However, although Thomas had this faint guess, he could tell from his walking speed just now that it should not be enough. Although there is no way to measure accurately, it can be estimated by impression, and from the time Lu Wu left, even the speed of running in a normal person would not have time to enter the disaster area.
On the one hand, it was indeed dark, and on the other hand, Thomas was anxious to know the answer from Lu Wu. So Thomas hurriedly put away the gems and returned to the camp to wait for Lu Wu.
……
The rumbling sounds around finally calmed down.
Lu Wu opened his eyes and leaned back, feeling the hard stone behind him.
I don't know why, Lu Wu remembered the ancient city of Pompeii, which was engulfed in volcanic magma. It is said that in the excavated ruins of Pompeii, some of the unfortunate were found hidden behind an arch made of thick marble. When disaster strikes, they want to rely on the rock to withstand the magma - and of course the end result speaks for itself.
It's not so much that the ancient fugitives were wrong, but that it's human nature. In fact, what Lu Wu did was no different. The only difference was that the avalanche failed to deform the stone, so it naturally formed a space where Lu Wu could survive.
It was pitch black in his field of vision. Although the snow was white, it was pitch black as far as Lu Wu's eyes could see. It was really pitch black, and even if he used the power of the magic ring to strengthen his eyesight, he still couldn't see anything.
"Master?" Lu Wu asked tentatively.
"Partner, the avalanche has stopped. The master sighed with his headphones. "But the surrounding conditions are not good, the snow is very unstable, and there is a possibility that it will collapse again at any time. ”
Lu Wu took out his mobile phone, which was the place where the master lived, and turned on the flashlight. Now he can be sure that the position he is in is a not very big empty **. The ground was still under his feet, but there was snow on all sides, including overhead.
"How thick is the snow?" Lu Wu asked. After all, he has a magic ring on his body, and it can be said that he has superhuman physical strength, maybe he can try to drill out?
"It's thick, it's thicker than you think. There was obviously some frustration in the master's voice. "It should be more than ten meters or twenty meters. Partner, it's not me who said, it's impossible to get out now, the situation is too complicated, it is estimated that it will be directly buried halfway, and there is no way to retreat. ”
The master is telling the truth. Even if Lu Wu had superhuman strength because of the magic ring, it was useless at this time. Because there is no place to borrow at all. It's like the travelers who used to set foot in the wilderness were swallowed up by quicksand or swamps. No matter how strong you are and how good your climbing skills are, you can only wait to die when you have no way to borrow your strength.
"But, it won't work here!" Lu Wu said that he was also a person who had taught himself to survive in the wild. So knowing that being covered in snow is far from as easy as it seems. In fact, the real danger doesn't come from the cold – the snow looks icy, but in fact it is fluffy and insulating. The real danger is the air. The danger of suffocation is much greater when pressed by such a thick layer of snow. Although the snowflakes are very gentle, no matter how soft the quilt is, it can't stand it if it's covered with twenty or thirty layers.
In fact, Lu Wu was already a little breathless at the moment.
"Amber doesn't know what's going on......" Although he knew that Amber had a great chance of winning after hearing the conversation between the two Stygian Warlocks, it was still a matter of trepidation. "Is it in time?"
It takes time to rescue, even for warlocks. When Amber came back, he noticed Lu Wu's whereabouts, and then found Lu Wu's location all the way, and it was estimated that Lu Wu would have suffocated to death by that time.
"Partner, there is no choice but to leave immediately...... Hey, down left, drill over there, there's a big space over there. The master reminded. "The structure here is also relatively strong, so it should be fine if you dig a hole in it. ”
Masters possess high-dimensional, even high-dimensional, senses that are not affected by obstacles. In some cases, it is much better than human sight and hearing.
Lu Wu immediately tried to dig in that direction. I have to say that magic is really a supernatural ability that is too easy to use, and the ring on the hand is simply an artifact, which can make people exercise at high intensity without increasing oxygen consumption.
If there were no avalanches, it would have been a normal downhill ride. Maybe there are a few steep slopes that don't get in the way. But with such a thick layer of snow, I don't know how much more difficult it is to get out. After a long time, Lu Wu felt that the front was empty.
He was weightless, fell from the air, and landed into a sizable space.
A space with light.
Of course, this would have been absolutely impossible - if there was a large cavity under the snow, it would have been possible. After all, fluid mechanics or a variety of special terrain can allow such structures to form beneath the snow layer. But light is completely impossible.
Lu Wu stood up in horror, and then he saw that there was another person here that he hadn't expected.
No, it should be said that he should have expected it.
In the corner of this underground cavity, the female ranger was sitting. There seemed to be a device beside her, glowing faintly blue. In this light, being able to see the surroundings is not so much a void as an igloo.
The female ranger raised her head, such a big movement was obviously impossible to hide. She recognized Lu Wu at a glance.
In this light, the eyes of the Lunacer are black and bright, more beautiful than polished gemstones. But Lu Wu couldn't find the slightest taste of friendship in it.
"So, mate," the master coughed as he seemed to be in his headphones. "I said, there's no choice. ”
At least the Stygian Warlock can still talk about it, at least there is a theoretical possibility of peaceful coexistence after communication, and suffocation from oxygen is not waiting for anyone.
Lu Wu knew very well that he couldn't compete with the other party at all. Don't look at it in another world, he was attacked by others with the magic power of the second law but he was still safe, but that was because in that world, his existence was very weak, and he had anti-magic metal to help (Lu Wu now regrets why he didn't bring the anti-magic metal with him, but then again, he didn't expect that the Moon Warlock had chased him to Earth). But this is the earth, and on the earth, the other party can kill him with a random word.
He'd already seen the civil war between the two Stygian Warlocks just now. It can be said that the low-level warlock came prepared and prepared such a special move. But in the face of the absolute gap in strength, she still lost without any suspense.
Although it does not mean that high-level warlocks are necessarily powerful. But there is an unshakable truth, and that is that every increase in mana power can give you a great advantage in battle.
The Stygian Moonmancer raised a hand and aimed it at Lu Wu. Lu Wu had seen this move many times, and whenever the Second Lawyer wanted to attack with words, they always habitually did so. Although, in fact, according to the masters, this action is not necessary.
At this moment, Lu Wu suddenly came to his senses. It turned out that this was the one who was destined to kill him, no wonder that the chaotic aggregate of the power of fate (Lu Wu's own name) was tired of creating all kinds of accidents and accidents to kill him. After all, with such an agent, that person can indeed let go of everything and just sit back and wait for the good news.
Zhu Hua let out a violent cough, and her outstretched hand quickly retracted and covered her mouth. Rao was like this, and the red still oozed from between his fingers.
