35: Mythology
The soldiers were divided into two routes, each doing their own thing. Cheng Li, led by the soldering iron, walked to the southwest corner of the cave and jumped to the entrance of the tunnel, which was more than three meters high from the ground. Then he stepped on the torch and slipped into the dark tunnel.
In the depths of the earth, there is no external light source, and in the tunnel, it is natural to reach out and not see the five fingers. But as a robber who has mastered the third awakening, Cheng Li's five senses are keen, and they have reached a level unimaginable to ordinary people. The absence of light does not prevent him from moving freely in the tunnels. On the contrary, in such an environment, the light is particularly easy to attract attention, and if you are not careful, it will startle the snake. So it's better to turn off the torch.
The four walls of the tunnel are smooth, and they are also artificially repaired. Inside it zigzags, up and down. There are also quite a few forks and secret doors in the middle.
Cheng Li could sense that among these forks and secret doors, there was a freshly baked breath of death. Obviously, it was the snakes that came to explore the path that strayed into it, so much so that they triggered a trap and died in it on the spot. If there were no such pioneers, I would have simply used human lives to fill in, and I don't know how much would be enough. When you think about it, it really makes people shudder.
After walking for about a pillar of incense, the tunnel suddenly closed, and there were no more forks, but instead spiraled upwards like a staircase. The soldering iron hissed and signaled to Cheng Li that the road was coming to an end.
Cheng Li didn't hesitate, three steps were sandwiched into two steps, and the speed was accelerated. Turning a corner again, my eyes suddenly lit up. I saw a stone wall erected in front of me, which seemed to be a secret door. On the left and right sides of the secret door of the stone wall, each inlaid with a round pearl the size of a baby's fist, is emitting a hazy blue light. Although the brightness is not too strong, it is enough to make Cheng Li see things like day.
However, above this secret door, it is flat and neat, there is no handle pull ring, and there is no mechanism button. Although a shallow pit has been dug out of the junction of the secret door and the floor in the lower right. The tip of the soldering iron can be drilled through this shallow pit. But Cheng Li is not a snake. The path that this snake can walk, he can't go through no matter what.
The soldering iron head stood tall and hissed a few times at Cheng Li. After signaling the secret door, there is no cave. Cheng Li frowned and groaned for a long time, stepped forward and reached out to hold down the secret door, and pushed hard.
The secret door is as if it were welded to the floor, and the silk lines do not move. But the feeling that came from Cheng Li's hand let him know that the weight of this secret door was at least more than fifty tons!
To be honest, if you purely talk about the strength of the physical body, even the top masters such as Chu Maniac, Xiao Canghai, and Li Yanzhou will never have the strength of fifty tons.
Of course, this means that they don't use their housekeeping skills. What innate body-breaking formless sword qi, what forgetful sword canon, and what Tiangang Qiankun change, can absorb the endless energy of the outside world, and make one's own strength jump sharply in a short period of time, skyrocketing to tenfold, or even dozens of times. Once these peerless skills are used, it will naturally be no problem to be a mere stubborn stone.
But at the moment, in this tunnel, the surrounding space is narrow, and it is difficult to stretch your hands and feet. What's more, because deep underground, it is much more difficult to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth than the outside world. So the conclusion is that even if Li Yanzhou, Chu Maniac Xiao Canghai and other top masters come here, if they can't break the mystery of the mechanism, they can only look at the door and sigh, and they can't enter.
Cheng Li and Li Yanzhou are different. As a robber, absorbing the power of robbery is entirely a spontaneous instinct of one's own body. Compared with martial arts masters, it is a hundred times easier to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth. Even if you don't absorb the power of robbery, as long as you equip the Dark Combat Body, the strength of the physical body can also increase by dozens of times. It's also easy to break the secret door.
However, whether it is absorbing the power of robbery to strengthen it, or equipping the dark battle body, the movement is too great. Now Cheng Li is not attacking and breaking through, but to sneak in secretly and investigate the secret. So, of course, try to keep the movement as small as possible.
Cheng Li thought about it, shook his hand casually, the silver light in his palm flashed, and he had already grasped a Merlin revolver. Immediately afterwards, black gas emerged, entangled in wisps of ****. A moment later, the black gas dissipated, but the Mahrin Revolver had transformed into the sublimated state of the "Adjudicator".
Cheng Li took two steps back, held the gun in both hands, aimed the muzzle of the gun at the secret door of the stone wall, and then shot out. The light flickered, and a silver glow in the shape of a six-pointed star spun rapidly and hit the secret door, but it was fleeting. After the light dissipated, I saw that a hole had been opened in the secret door, and its size was just enough for Cheng Li to enter and exit.
The power of the "adjudicator" is annihilation. It can erase matter from the atomic level. If you fire at full power, you can even collapse this underground cavern completely. However, the extent of its power depends on how much power Cheng Li inputs. So at the moment, Cheng Li only entered the minimum limit of the robbery power, and deliberately reduced the destructive power. In this way, when you open the secret door, you are not afraid of alarming someone behind the door.
The secret door has been opened, and there is no way forward. Cheng Li put away the "adjudicator" and bowed into the door. But he walked six or seven steps before he walked out of the door. In fact, this so-called secret door is not so much a door as a large rectangular stone.
I thought it weighed tens of tons, but it was really underestimated. Now it seems that the weight of this big stone, a hundred tons, or even two hundred tons, cannot be stopped. If it weren't for the sharp weapon of "adjudicator" in his hand, Cheng Li really couldn't imagine how he could open this secret door?
Behind the stone "gate", there is another rectangular passage. At the end of the passage, there was a faint rippling light. Cheng Li walked briskly, and after a while, he got out of the passage. Bursts of humid heat and smoke immediately hit the face. Between the hot smoke and smoke, it's like ......
Half-human, half-snake patron saint!?
No, the Patronus is not here. Or strictly speaking, the patron saint that Cheng Li once fought with is not here. Cheng Li waved his hand to dispel the heat, looked around intently, and saw that where he was located, it was an underground palace. The radius is about the size of half a basketball court. The walls, floors, and vaulted ceilings are carved with reliefs.
In the middle of the underground palace is a pool. Under the pool, there are also many such night pearls. The light of the beads is thrown into the water, and it shakes as the water ripples back and forth. Then, the light reflected back to the walls around the dungeon. After a long time, it is very easy to have the illusion that "the entire underground palace is vibrating back and forth endlessly".
The patron saint that Cheng Li saw was at the bottom of the pool. It was a delicate relief larger than the average person. I don't know which famous artist wrote it, but he carved the patron saint vividly and vividly.
But what is even more surprising is the content of the relief.
The reliefs at the bottom of the pool are not only patron saints. There was also a man. Different from the patron saint who is half human and half snake. The man's form was perfect, a normal human being. Merely...... Whether it is from the figure, physique, and childishness between the eyebrows, it is easy to distinguish. It was not an adult man, but a teenager who was only about thirteen or fourteen years old at most.
But the young man on the relief was hugging each other with the patron saint at the moment. The head sank into the Patronus's chest, revealing only half of his face. Correspondingly, the lower body of the guardian spirit was also wrapped around the boy's body, and the slender snake tail even poked between the boy's legs. As for what exactly is being done, it is not enough to say.
The patron saint's cheeks were red, and the corners of his mouth and cheeks were all coquettish. The eye waves are flowing, and there is an indescribable alluring style. Up and down, all over the body, are significantly delicate and satisfied. But staring at the posture of the young man in his arms, there is a trace of love. On the whole, it is both holy and wicked. It is the combination of angels and demons, saints and **.
Even if you know it's just a relief. But after looking at this relief, unexpectedly, Cheng Li still instinctively noticed that there was a hot air surging from under the dantian. In an instant, he walked all over his body, limbs, and hundreds of corpses. It's burning hot, and it's not uncomfortable.
Cheng Li frowned and suppressed this strange fire. Look back at the reliefs on the walls around you. After watching it for a long time, I finally figured it out. It turns out that these reliefs are not independent, but have a continuity. A story is systematically described. A mythical story that took place in ancient times, when the world was still in chaos and desolation.
The very beginning of the story is located at the entrance and exit of the underground palace, to the left of the entrance and exit where Cheng Li walked out. The relief presents a scene of a desolate world. The land is full of all kinds of wild beasts. Although there are human beings in the middle of the room, they all drink blood and use stone spears and stone axes, which is completely a primitive savage posture.
But then, above the next relief, a cloud of light appeared. It wasn't the sun, because there was clearly another sun in the frame. Those primitive people may have thought that this was the descending of the gods, so they all bowed to the light top.
In the third relief, in the light of the sky, a figure walked out. The figure was half-human, half-snake, charming and charming, with fiery red snake hair. In his hand, he held two weapons, one long and one short. Some are like knives, and some are like swords. There is a brilliant jewel floating on his forehead. Cheng Li didn't need to take a second look to know that this was the guardian saint holding the glazed treasure knife and the glazed crystal bead.
The fourth relief. The glazed crystal pearl is brilliant, sprinkled like raindrops in all directions. Some are sprinkled on humans, while others are sprinkled on plants and animals. There are many that are sprinkled on the land, or in the rivers.
The next relief. The whole world has changed dramatically. Humans quickly got rid of the previous situation of drinking blood, and learned how to use metals such as copper and iron to make weapons. The land and rivers have become more fertile and fertile, producing more food and feeding more people.
But the plants and animals have changed even more. Not only did he grow rapidly in size and become as tall as a mountain, but he also seemed to have opened his mind. Some plants that are harmless actually know how to hunt animals actively. As for the animals, they have become all kinds of strange beasts.
There is a giant gorilla that is taller than an adult man with a single finger, a giant flying insect that flutters its wings and shines like a goddess in the clouds, a fierce turtle with a mouth full of fangs that can spin and fly in the sky, and a giant bird that lives in a volcano and can destroy a city with a flap of its wings. There are giant octopuses that swim in the sea and feed on whales. There's even a giant scary lizard full of thorn fins, amphibious, and capable of spewing fire from its mouth!
The whole world, because of the half-human, half-snake patron saint, has become more dangerous than ever! The world seems to be occupied by these terrible beasts, and the human race, who claims to be the spirit of all things, can only tremble and survive at the feet of these terrible beasts.
