Volume 1 Dark Rising Chapter 21 Ancient Ruins

Angelina climbed to the entrance of the cave and suddenly stopped, and said to Zhou Chang, who was following behind, "They found a passage below that leads to the outside." ”

As he spoke, the man suddenly disappeared, but soon there was the sound of landing.

Zhou Chang knew that Angeli jumped into the bucket room below, and Zhou Chang also climbed over, because he heard that he had found the passage to the outside, he was too excited, and he didn't stop in a hurry when his hands were empty, and he screamed, and the whole person fell.

With a 'bang', Zhou Chang fell into a posture of gnawing.

Seeing this, the fat man on one side burst out laughing.

"You're laughing at a fart!" Zhou Chang said as he got up from the ground and glared fiercely at the gloating fat man.

Zhou Chang stood up and looked around, but he didn't find the passage that Angelina was talking about, but he found that Tamar was fainting by the stone bed, and Kana was taking care of her.

Because of the light in the bucket, Zhou Chang finally saw Tamar's face clearly. She had typical Inca brown skin and wore a yellowish leather coat, though it was tattered and badly peeled. The appearance is very ordinary, but it is very pleasing to the eye.

"How did Miss Tamar faint. Zhou Chang couldn't help but ask curiously.

However, Taizhang, who knew the truth, usually looked like he ignored people, and of course he would not answer Zhou Chang. Kana, the other who knows why, usually says little. The words 'rejecting people thousands of miles away' seem to be written on the face. Expecting the two of them to answer, it is better to go to the sky and pluck the moon.

Therefore, no one answered him after a long time, and Zhou Chang could only laugh awkwardly twice.

However, the fat man saw Zhou Chang's embarrassing situation and replied to him, "When I came down, Miss Tamar was touching the skeleton. It wasn't long before I heard her say that there was a passage to the outside. However, before she could finish her sentence, she foamed at the mouth and fainted. So, I'll call Miss Angelina to call you, and when she wakes up, we'll find the passage and we'll go together." ”

At this time, Taizhang suddenly interjected coldly, "If there is no passage, how can we go up again?"

Taizhang's words were like thunder under his feet, which made other people's heads buzz.

The fat man slapped himself, "Damn, why didn't you think of this." Thinking of something wrong, he suddenly pointed at Taizhang and said angrily: "Damn, you kid obviously knows that after Zhou Chang came down, there was no one to answer above, why didn't you stop me?"

Taizhang glanced at the fat man coldly, "I'm doing things, and it's not your turn to point fingers." ”

Hearing Taizhang say this, the fat man's lungs exploded, if he could beat Taizhang, I'm afraid he would have pounced on him and beaten his face into a bun.

At this moment, Tamar suddenly coughed.

Everyone's attention was drawn to Tamar's coughing, and Tamar's eyelids twitched twice, and he seemed to have a hard time opening his eyes.

At this time, everyone's eyes lit up. They were all eager to learn the location of the passage from Tamar's mouth.

When Tamar woke up, his eyes were scattered, and his eyes fell on the skeleton, and his eyes suddenly became extremely frightened. She leapt up from Kana's side and took several steps back before she steadied herself.

Everyone was taken aback by Tamar's inexplicable behavior and asked her what had happened.

Tamar swallowed a mouthful of saliva to relieve his extreme panic, and after a while, suddenly said, "I use telepathy to peek into the memories that happened on this corpse. But this corpse actually passed on to me another incomprehensible visionβ€”the end of the world. ”

"Doomsday?" Taizhang asked.

Tamar continued, "The whole land is filled with the smell of corruption and stench, and there are corpses of humans, demons, witches, and elves, and the sky is full of vultures pecking at the rotting corpses, and countless meteors in the sky are constantly hitting the ground. The earth could not withstand the violent impact, the mountains and seas were razed, and the continents were shattered. The magma from the ground gushes out like a spring, burning all the creatures on the ground to ashes. ”

After listening to Tamar's story, Zhou Chang thought that this apocalyptic scene sounded very scary, let alone witnessed it with his own eyes, no wonder Tamar fainted in fright.

"Miss Tamar, do you know the way out, we can't get there, there is no way back. ”

The fat man didn't care about the end of the world, that was something that the authorities should be worried about, and he just wanted to know if Tamar knew the way out.

Tamar smiled reluctantly, and suddenly said to Zhou Chang, "Give me the bracelet." ”

"What bracelet?" Zhou Chang was stunned for a moment, then remembered the bracelet he took off the corpse.

Zhou Changzheng was about to take it and give it to Tamar, when he suddenly heard Tamar laugh and say, "Don't worry, I won't preempt you to find something first, just leave here, you must use that bracelet." ”

At this time, Zhou Chang had already taken off the bracelet, and when he heard Tamar say this, he could only smile awkwardly and reach out and hand the bracelet to Tamar.

Tamar took the bracelet, and she habitually wanted to sense the origin of the bracelet.

When Tamar tried to enter the bracelet's past memories, a powerful spiritual power suddenly burst out from the bracelet. Like an invisible sledgehammer, that powerful spiritual power slammed into Tamar's chest.

Tamar couldn't bear such a huge impact, only to feel a sweet throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. As soon as his body went limp, he fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Angelina saw the opportunity quickly, rushed to Tamar's side, and held her with both hands.

Tamar smiled bitterly, "Damn, everything here is full of evil, I tried to enter the memory of this bracelet, I want to see the origin of the bracelet." I didn't expect this bracelet to have such a powerful backlash that it almost killed me. ”

After receiving two blows in a row, Tamar scolded her mother regardless of her image.

"Is it because the bracelet has been enchanted or sealed, so you can't enter?"

Sealed and forbidden things are countered by explorers when they snoop because they have mana attached. And when the explorer is sensing, he is like a child who is powerless, even if the mana attached to it is weak, it may cause fatal damage to the exploration.

Tamar shook his head, "How could I joke with my life, as long as I sense the faint power of the seal, I won't sense it again." However, this bracelet has no seals or forbidden spells, so that's why I call it evil. ”

The fat man also felt that this place was very evil, and when he saw that Tamar seemed to be fine, he urged her to open the passage.

Tamar didn't want to stay here any longer, so she walked to the edge of the stone bed, crouched down, and scratched her right hand against the wall of the bed, dusting off most of the dust from the wall of the bed, revealing a circular groove. On closer inspection, it was exactly the same size as the bracelet that Zhou Chang took from the corpse.

Tamar put the bracelet into the groove and turned it slightly, only to hear a click, and a tunnel was revealed on one side of the bed. The skeleton, lying on the stone bed, fell into the tunnel.

At this time, the fat man hurriedly ran to the side of the stone bed and looked towards the entrance of the tunnel. I saw that there were dozens of steps under the stone bed, and then it was pitch black.

The fat man took two steps back, he didn't dare to go down first, and he was afraid that others would make fun of him, he glanced at the oil lamp on the wall, and diverted the topic: "This oil lamp should have been lit for hundreds of years, why can't this lamp oil run out?"

Angelina explained to the fat man: "Look at the clay pot with the wick attached, it contains fire Gu oil, even if it is burned for another 10,000 years, the oil lamp will not be extinguished." ”

The fat man was just talking casually to divert the attention of others, but he didn't expect to ask casually, and he asked something strange, so he asked Angelina about the origin of this fire Gu oil.

Angelina told the fat man that this fire Gu oil was an oil boiled by Gu worms called fire Gu, and this oil was very resistant to burning, and a drop of oil could burn for three or four days. However, this kind of fire Gu is extremely rare, and it is even more difficult to raise, and only the Wu clan who is proficient in the secret art of Gu poison has the ability to make fire Gu oil. As for why there is fire Gu oil in this demon clan's place, and there are such two large clay pots, it is unknown.

Without waiting for An Lina to finish explaining the origin of the fire Gu oil, Taizhang had already walked to the stone bed and went down to the tunnel. Tamar took off the bracelet in the groove and returned it to Zhou Chang, regardless of whether Zhou Chang wanted it or not, he forced it into his hand, turned around and walked quickly down to the tunnel.

Then Kana also walked quickly down to the tunnel, and Zhou Chang put the bracelet on his wrist when he saw this, and followed down. In the end, Angelina and the fat man also hurriedly followed.

There are about 200 stone steps in this tunnel, and it quickly descends to the ground.

There is a long corridor underground, and there is no light, so you can only hold on to the wall and grope your way forward step by step.

I don't know how long I walked, but suddenly there was a flash of light in front of me, which shone obliquely on the walls of the corridor on both sides.

There is a bright light may mean that there is an outlet, and everyone is happy, and they don't feel much faster under their feet.

Soon, they walked to the place where the light was shining. It was already the end of the corridor, and in front of it was a very open underground chamber, and the buildings in it resembled a magnificent palace. The oil lamps on the walls are covered with glass lampshades, and the crockpots filled with oil are also made of jadeite, which is very luxurious.

In the middle of the chamber were three large white stone pillars carved with dense bone writing, very similar to the bone writing they had seen beneath the walls of Night City.

"Fire Gu oil again, could it be that this was once the place of the Wu Clan?" Kana frowned and whispered as she looked at the crockpot made of jade.

Tamar walked under the white pillar and looked at the bone writing on the pillar.

Soon Tamar walked to another stone pillar, and when she looked at the bone writing on the three stone pillars, she suddenly said to the people, "This should be an ancient ruin." ”

Ancient times are 30,000 years earlier than ancient times, and legend has it that the continent gave birth to gods during the flood period, and the gods did not begin to create all living beings until the middle of ancient times, so Tamar said that this is an ancient ruin, and there is some truth.

The fat man heard Tamar say this, and saw that this underground palace was very magnificent, and it should have been inhabited by ancient gods here, and perhaps there was some treasure left. The fat man has long heard that antiques are the most valuable, and if he finds a desolate or ancient artifact, he will not be able to spend it in his ten fucking lives.

Immediately, the fat man began to rummage along the wall for four years.

Taizhang seemed to see the fat man's thoughts, sneered, and ignored the fat man, he also walked to the white stone pillar and looked at the bone words.

Angelina didn't seem interested in any of this, so she found a relatively clean place to sit and rest.

Kana was still staring at the fire Gu oil lamps, not knowing what she was thinking.

Zhou Chang was also going to see the stone pillar, but the fat man was looking for some ancient artifact together.

The two of them searched for a long time, but the artifact was not found, but they found several murals on a corner wall.

So, Zhou Chang hurriedly called the others over to see, originally the fat man wanted to see if he could find the location of any artifact from the mural, but he didn't expect Zhou Chang's mouth to be too fast, and he would invite others after a while.

At that moment, the fat man jumped angrily and glared at Zhou Chang fiercely, "Damn, I can't find an artifact, Lao Tzu wants the bracelet you are looking for, maybe it is also an artifact." ”

As they spoke, the others were attracted by Zhou Chang's words, and they carefully looked at the murals on the walls.

There are a total of five frescoes on the walls, and although they are old and blurred in some places, the general outline can still be discerned.

The first mural depicts a group of men in white robes, all pointing at a shirtless man with an angry expression on their faces, just as people accuse them of committing crimes.

The second mural depicts the same group of men in white robes, but this time with weapons in their hands. The mural also shows the shirtless man, this time the topless man is also holding a sword in his hand, and behind the man, there is a group of very strange-looking people. Looking at the scene in this mural, it seems that they are going to go to war.

When they saw the third mural, all of them suddenly widened their eyes, as if they had seen something terrible.
