Chapter 17: Tomb Raider
In the dim, narrow passageway, after Galen accidentally stepped on the mechanism on the floor, the entire passage began to shake off the sand and dust, and signs of collapse began to appear. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You said you came all the way and triggered the first few traps!" Carter cursed as he ran.
All she could do was Galen's smirk.
As Carter ran, he took out the map and looked at it.
"Run a little further, and we'll be out of the confines of this mausoleum!" Carter said in a deep voice, and then casually took a step to the side, dodging a boulder falling from the zenith.
"And what about Charles?"
"He's with my sister, he can't die!"
“……”
The two of them, who used the light body exercises, easily escaped from the collapsed passage and came to the outside of this mausoleum.
When the two of them saw the scene outside the mausoleum, they were completely shocked, even the stones behind them, rubbing the corners of their backs, did not move them, because the scenery in front of them was beyond the scope of their cognition, and the jaw-dropping was no longer enough to describe their current mood.
This, this is ...... A vast expanse of the city's ruins!
The yellow sand that should have been stepped on under his feet was now like floating overhead, like a gray yellow sky, and the little sunlight that came through the ground penetrated through the gaps between the fine sands, so that this gray and yellow sky would not be dark.
And under the gray-yellow sky, there is an endless ...... Empty golden complexes!
Regularly arranged long stone pillars can be found everywhere, supporting a variety of buildings.
A variety of whimsical and imaginative architectural styles, many of the walls are carved with frescoed stone walls that are somewhat peeling but still beautiful.
In front of the gates of many huge buildings, stone statues of beastheads and human bodies of various sizes are placed on the left and right!
And the most important thing for Galen and Carter now was the huge round stone block they could see on a high platform in the distance.
A large round stone block collapsed on top of the collapsed arch base, and if you look closely, you will see that the collapsed base looks like a pair of wings.
Those with a rich imagination will recognize it as an 'Ascension Symbol'!
This ruined symbol of ascension reflects the faint sunlight that comes in from the ground, shining on this lost city!
"This ...... That's what it is...... The Lost ...... Paradise! Carter looked at the scene in front of him and said stupidly.
"This ...... It's too big, isn't it? Galen also said dumbfounded.
At this moment, Galen and Carter didn't care about anything else, but just felt the great shock that this ruin brought to them.
After being shocked, the two began to examine this golden country in full view.
Galen first spotted the round boulder, and he pointed to the boulder and said, "Carter, look, what's that thing over there that glows like the sun?" ”
Carter heard Galen's words in shock, and looked in the direction Galen pointed, and she saw the little glowing sun, and she saw the collapsed base, and her wild imagination began to make up for the original appearance of the whole cobblestone, and at the same time, began to draw non-stop on the little notebook she had taken out.
Carter's original appearance was soon revealed on the paper, and Galen, who was on the side, stared at the soon-to-be-finished drawing on the paper and suddenly shouted, "Ascension symbol!" ”
Yes, a perfect ascension symbol jumped on the page.
But Carter was not shocked by the finished ascension symbol, her gaze was like the charcoal pen she had stopped drawing in her hand, and she did not move.
Carter, with his eyes wide open, looked at the buildings in the distance, as if he was trying to see something clearly.
Just when Carter was stunned, there was a loud bang!
A boulder, from the top of the mausoleum that had just escaped, was shaken loose and rolled down.
Galen reacted before Carter, he glanced at Carter, who was unresponsive, and had no choice but to pick up the stunned Carter and jump away in a hurry.
Galen, who had escaped the danger, put down Carter and asked suspiciously, "Carter, what's wrong with you, why can't you even avoid this stone?" ”
Carter ignored him, her eyes staring at a building in the distance, a look of disbelief in her eyes!
"Cover ...... Lun...... That, there's someone there! Carter seemed to finally see clearly.
"People? Who? ”
"The one with the Ascension Talisman!"
"Where!"
"That!"
Galen looked in the direction Carter pointed, and sure enough, between the golden buildings in the distance, he could vaguely see a person shrouded in a black cloak, and if he looked closely, he could vaguely see that he was wearing a golden pendant with a glimmer of light around his neck!
Not only that, but when he was moving goods at the beach, he also developed a pair of good eyes, and Galen, who had excellent eyesight, clearly saw that the man in black was holding a square bag wrapped in black cloth in his hand, and what leaked out of the black cloth bag was a golden corner!
That's his and Charles' goal!
That is, the Golden Sutra of the Sun!
Galen still couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, but unfortunately Charles was not around, otherwise, Galen would definitely be happier.
"Finally found you!"
Carter was different from Galen, but her attention was focused on the man in black walking behind the golden complex, because the man in black was carrying a cross-shaped weapon!
The man in black walked in one direction, as if all the movement had nothing to do with him, and the direction he was traveling was in the same direction as the ruined remains of the Ascension Symbol.
"Galen, are you sure it's this one?" Carter asked in horror when he saw the cross-shaped weapon on the man's back, thinking of a well-known mercenary on the mainland.
"You can't go wrong!" Galen didn't know what a mercenary was, he only knew that the man was holding the Golden Sutra of the Sun they were seeking.
"Then it's troublesome, this person is not a simple character!"
"Not a simple character? How do you know? Galen asked in surprise.
"The weapon behind her, this weapon will be used on the mainland, she should be the only one!" Carter said, staring at the cross weapon.
"Who are you talking about?"
"I'm not sure yet, but I can tell you definitively that if this person is the person I'm talking about, it's not something we can afford to mess with!"
"No matter, chase, you must catch up with him! I finally found him, and I must not lose it! Otherwise, Charles won't let me go! ”
"You don't care about Charles?"
"Didn't you just say that you can't die with your sister!"
“……”
"We quietly followed, waiting for an opportunity to act."
Galen tightened his suit, lowered his body, and quietly leaned over to the man in black under the cover of stones and buildings.
Carter could only shake his head helplessly, put away his little notebook, lowered his body, and followed.
