Volume 1 The Land of the Dead Chapter 172 History is a little girl who can be dressed up
There wasn't much light in the cavern, only the crystal lilac glow barely provided a little illumination, and Linda and Roger were standing on the high platform at this time, not daring to let out even the atmosphere, for fear of 'waking up' the sleeping killing machines under their feet.
Beneath the high platform, there is a deep cavern that is too vast to see, and the light of the crystal cannot reach the deep darkness, dense mechanical dragons are sleeping in the darkness, you can only see a few rows in the near distance, and only vague outlines are left in the depths.
But even this is enough to make Roger scared, a mechanical dragon needs to use his own means to defeat, the dragons in front of him alone are more than ten fingers, if they wake up one after another, Roger might as well simply report to his own boss.
Roger held his breath and motioned for Linda to retreat to the crystal corridor first, and the latter's soaked leather boots stepped on the ground with a "poof, poof" sound, which Roger had never felt so harsh.
In this process, Roger stared closely at the movement under the high platform, and after adapting to the dark environment of the cave, he was vaguely able to catch the faint red light like fireflies in the darkness, as well as the 'ticking' sound of the system self-examination sounding out of nowhere.
Time seemed like a long time at this moment, but Roger didn't have to worry so much, those mechanical dragons had obviously been sleeping here for thousands of years, and if no one had ridden on them to set off their cannons, they would undoubtedly continue to sleep here for thousands of years.
But if there's a little mouse going to shoot a cannon over their heads, it's hard to say.
The footsteps were grinding, Linda hadn't retreated, her eyes glanced to the side, and her already trembling heart was hit hard, she pointed to the wall on the left side of the cave, and said in a trembling voice: "Luo....... Roger, look over there!"
Looking in the direction she was pointing, without having time to think, Roger didn't hesitate to jump off the high platform, and rushed towards the bottom of the pit with the strength of his feet.
In his sight, Jimmy Jimmy, who had disappeared not long ago, was holding a crystal in his hand that was disproportionate to his stature, and went down the stairs of the cave wall to those mechanical dragons, because Roger's attention was attracted by the dragon legion, and he didn't notice Jimmy under his nose, and at this time, looking at Jimmy's posture, he looked like he was trying to use the crystal to destroy the mechanical dragon!
"Sting~"
The crystals dragged on the metal floor, making a crisp grinding sound, but it fell on Linda's ears like the call of death, those sleeping mechanical dragons remained stiff and upright, the armor of the whole body was not yet bionic camouflage, the cold steel plate made them more powerful, as for the result of their collision with the equally hard and unreasonable crystal? Linda didn't want to know.
"Jimmy, calm down, calm down!"
Fortunately, Linda found out in time, Roger rushed down the high platform and hurried to intercept Jimmy, who was almost making a big mistake, while shouting, Roger clamped Jimmy's shoulders and stared at the latter's bloodshot eyes, Roger knew that this girl had lost her mind, and extreme emotions such as anger drove her to act irrationally.
Jimmy writhed, and Roger could feel the anger and unwillingness contained in his petite body, and Roger's arms clamped around his body like iron hoops.
"Divine Word, Tranquility"
The crystal in Jimmy's hand was held high and could not be put down for a long time, the spiritual anger gradually subsided with the help of divine magic, Jimmy, who was occupied by anger, sobered up, his expression was a little confused, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes, and he put down the crystal and whimpered in Roger's arms.
"What the hell is going on? Didn't you go to Uto Village to help the villagers evacuate? Why did you suddenly appear here?"
"It was the village chief who asked me to come, and when I returned to the village, everyone had already started evacuating, and I met a large army of evacuees on the way, and the village chief was among them. ”
"The village chief said that he had known that there would be such a day, and that it was my father...... My father deceived everyone, he and the dragon are in the same gang......"
Jimmy choked up, the huge blow to his heart made him anxious to find someone to talk to, although the two men hugged each other and talked to each other seemed full of affection in Linda's eyes.
In Jimmy's staccato narration, Roger finally became clear about the situation, the village chief of Utop, who knew about the situation, the map that had been passed down from generation to generation, and a word of mouth.
The man who originally mapped the map did enter this space as Roger had assumed and used it as a base point to travel to other dimensions, but he called it the Dragon's Lair because he was a wandering dragon when he came here, and he only saw it as a dangerous site.
And after the death of that man, no one in the village can enter it, and the legend has also been passed on to the deviation, the focus of the story has become the dragons of the dragon's den, the experience of that person and the legend of the dragon cannibal left in the early years combined, so that this story has become a source of panic among the people, the successive village chiefs have deliberately forbidden the transmission of this knowledge, and the mountain of experience has also been changed from here to the main peak of the Wolf's Tooth Mountains.
Countless years have passed, the situation here has been constantly evolving, small kingdoms, lords, villages have alternated, and the existence of the dragon has been constantly weakened, knowing that until now no one except the village chief knows about it, and the appearance of the dragon has never confirmed the rumors that the mappers have sealed the dragon's lair, and for generations they have been guarding against outsiders breaking the so-called seal and leading to the end of the world.
The days went on so leisurely, but I didn't expect to appear inside.
"When the location of the dragon's guard was mentioned, the man who drew the map didn't say what it was. ”
Jimmy cried and pointed behind him, the position that had been under the platform where the two of them were, and didn't notice.
Those are dense jars, just like the kind that often appears in biochemical experiments, some have been broken, and the fracture surface can be seen to be obvious traces of weapons such as axes, the liquid inside has long dried up, most of them are empty, only a few jars have some bones, human bones, the closure of space can not stop the decay of corpses, only human beings can be seen from the skeleton, and they are without exception, there are no heads.
Most of the ones that were destroyed were in the first few columns, and there was a pale green liquid in the back, which was still functioning after being closed for so long, and they faintly had a kind of spatial fluctuation, Roger had some kind of realization in his heart, and took out the spatial core in the ring, and the spatial fluctuations between them were very similar, so that is to say.
There are all kinds of creatures soaked in the culture tank, most of which are humans, but through Roger's observation, many of them have no signs of life, or the culture liquid is just supplying the most basic activity of these flesh, just a mess of rotten meat that is in physiological metabolism, not to mention that there are only a few like this, most of them don't even have such signs of life, this system doesn't know when it has stopped, many people may have stayed in it for thousands of years, they have any identity, farmers, hunters, Merchants, warriors, officials and even kings.
Roger smashed one of the cultivation tanks, this is very easy, it is just a simple glass, and it does not contain any technical content, pad his feet to avoid the dripping culture liquid, Roger does not want to have any contact with the liquid that has been soaked for so many years, it has not been replaced, it is already very turbid, inside is a pale corpse, looking at the clothes should be a middle-aged woman, I can't see the occupation, the original flesh melts in the air at a speed visible to the naked eye as the culture liquid dries, and there is not even a trace of bone residue left.
Roger hesitated twice without commenting, and after searching for a long time, he finally stopped in front of a culture tank, and the liquid soaked in it was Jimmy's cousin sweet potato.
With his previous experience, knowing that there was no physical link, it would be easy to rescue him, Roger found a place on the glass, and the jar broke in response, and the sweet potatoes flowed out of the clear culture fluid.
Rolling open the sweet potato's eyelids and confirming that he had just fainted, Roger was relieved.
Turning around, he stood in the open space of the crystal core again, staring at the large round ball slowly spinning above his head, Roger was full of emotion.
This is the control core designed by a brainless guy, floating in the sky, is it possible that those guys who are called the crystal clan have wings.
"That's not the way, but their race uses a special 'telekinesis' power, so they can fly, which also makes their understanding of the plane and themselves different, such a crystal nucleus brain is really not a joke to say that it is an antique, if you convert it to the time of your plane, this is already a creation at least 3000 years ago. ”
Abu's voice came out lazily, and in order to distinguish it from the main Andrea, Roger proposed it, and Abu didn't mind.
"Why is the eldest sister free. ”
Roger circled around, actually talking to Abu in his mind, "Aren't you still napping in the library of the gods?" ”
"Since you've been called up by this guy, it's better to watch you, a rookie, perform a mission, and it can be regarded as a reminiscence of youth. ”
Abu communicated with Roger with a pair, and Roger asked meaningfully, ""
"Hehe, don't try to get out of me, the hierarchical authority set by the Pantheon makes sense, and there is no benefit in getting in touch with those distorted knowledge too early. ”
Roger could imagine the cat licking its paws and raising its eyebrows, "But I'm being detained here by you anyway, and I can't resist if you have to force me to say it." ”
