Volume 2 Sand Sea Dragon's Lair Chapter 131 There is no way out
The three of them ran to the opposite side along the right corner again, and by the time the row of stone statues on the left had attacked, they had already run to the opposite corner and slipped through the still open doorway.
Standing on the small steps outside the room, looking at the large deep pool at their feet, several people's hearts were extremely heavy.
Chen Xiaopang smiled at Ding Lingling, and was about to jump into the water, Ding Lingling couldn't help but call "Senior Brother", took the initiative to reach out and hug Chen Xiaopang, and said: "Senior Brother, you must be careful, we will wait for you to come back!"
Chen Xiaopang's heart was hot, nodded at Ding Lingling, and jumped directly into the water with his head held high.
Ding Lingling and the others waited on the shore, watching Chen Xiaopang dive into the water, but soon showed his head again, and said: "There is indeed a waterway under this room, don't worry, the distance of twenty or thirty meters is not difficult for me, you wait patiently for me!"
Ding Lingling shouted again: "Senior brother, be careful!"
Chen Xiaopang nodded and smiled, took a deep breath, and dived into the water again.
A few people waited patiently for a while, and naturally every minute and every second was extremely difficult.
Ding Lingling couldn't help but stand up and said, "Should we rush to the opposite side of this room, lest Senior Brother Chen go over and shout that we can't hear us?"
"Why don't I rush over first, and you two stay here first, just in case!" Ma Bingxiao stood up.
Ding Lingling knew what he meant by "just in case", and couldn't help but tighten her heart more and more, and was nodding her head, but she heard the sound of "bang", and hurriedly turned around, only to see Chen Xiaopang coming out of the water on the right side.
He had been coming in from under the room on the left, but now he was coming out of the water on the right, and he looked confused and said, "What's the matter? Why did I turn back again? I kept swimming forward, why did I turn back?"
Ding Lingling breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Senior brother, you come up first, it seems that you can't get through from below, let's find another way!"
As she spoke, she quickly bent over and stretched out her hand.
Ma Bingxiao also squatted down by the water, stretching out his hand to pull Chen Xiaopang up.
Chen Xiaopang dived for dozens of meters in one breath, and his physical energy consumption was very huge, so he could only come up from the water first, and sit on the steps drenched in water to breathe.
Several people were silent for a while, and Hong Xing asked in a low voice, "Sister Lingling, you just said ...... Let's find another way, what else can we think of?"
Ding Lingling stood up, stood at the doorway in the wall, stretched out her hand and pointed in, and said: "Look at this house, the width is only three meters, so there must be another mezzanine on both sides of the room, as long as we find a way to enter the mezzanine room, maybe we can find a way out!"
"We've thought about this before!" Chen Xiaopang also stood up, "But the problem is that there are such movable stone statues on both sides of this room standing against the wall, so I estimate that the openings of the mezzanine rooms on both sides should also be in the room with green haired poisonous crabs." ”
"But those green-haired poisonous crabs are so scary, we don't have time to look for mechanisms inside!"
"Then let's lure the green-haired poisonous crab out of that room!" Ding Lingling said, pointing towards the pool, "We can stay behind the doorway of this wall and drive all the green-haired poisonous crabs that crawl over into the pool." ”
"But Lao Bai and Tie Niu don't know where they were swept up by the whirlpool, let's drive the green-haired poisonous crab into the water, won't the whole pool of water be poisoned?
"Don't worry about this!" Ding Lingling felt uncomfortable, but on the surface she seemed calm, "The green-haired poisonous crab is not born, but a normal crab is generated by some kind of evil magic. It is said that once in the water, the evil magic is naturally dissolved, so it does not pollute the water. Moreover, the water in this pool is so deep and wide, even if the green-haired poisonous crab is still poisonous when it enters the water, its toxicity will be diluted by the water to an insignificant degree. ”
"Lingling is right!" Chen Xiaopang nodded immediately, "This pool of water is not only wide, but also must be connected to the groundwater, so no matter how much toxins enter the water, they will be diluted in a short time." Besides, there is no other way to go now, so we can only try Lingling's method!"
Hongxing and Ma Bingxiao had no objection, and several people immediately took action.
First of all, Ding Lingling and Chen Xiaopang clinged to the wall that the stone statue turned on, and moved to the opposite side as slightly as possible, while carefully inspecting and groping the wall to make sure that there was no mechanism on the wall.
After that, the two of them opened the secret door on the opposite wall, and found that the green-haired poisonous crabs were still on the ground.
Ding Lingling and Chen Xiaopang deliberately made a lot of noise at the door, causing the green-haired poisonous crab to immediately chase the two of them through the doorway.
Ding Lingling and Chen Xiaopang hurriedly ran out along the corner of the wall where the stone statue had turned over, and Chen Xiaopang ran behind, for fear of falling the poisonous crab too far, so he could only deliberately run slower.
As a result, he had just run halfway through when the stone statue on the other side had already attacked.
Fortunately, Chen Xiaopang already had experience, dodged and dodged the stone statue attack, led the poisonous crabs all over the ground, and ran safely to the opposite side and drilled out of the wall hole.
On the contrary, the green-haired poisonous crabs crawling all over the ground were trampled to death by the activated stone statues.
More green-haired poisonous crabs followed Chen Xiaopang and crawled through the doorway.
Hongxing and Ma Bingxiao, who were guarding on both sides of the doorway, immediately made a move, one brandished a long sword, and the other waved a shovel, driving all the green-haired poisonous crabs that crawled over into the pool.
Chen Xiaopang was used to using a shovel, and always felt that Ma Bingxiao's speed with the shovel was not fast enough, and he was about to snatch the shovel from Ma Bingxiao's hand, but the spectacle that followed made several people stunned.
It turned out that Ma Bingxiao and Hongxing drove the one or twenty green-haired poisonous crabs led by them into the water, and with the loud splashing sound, the poisonous crabs behind them didn't know what was going on, so they no longer attacked the four people, but climbed close to the waterhole and jumped into the water one after another.
"How can this be? Why is this happening?" Ma Bingxiao was surprised and delighted.
Ding Lingling thought about it for a while, and then said: "I think crabs are aquatic animals, and the attraction of water is likely to far exceed the control of evil magic over them!"
She said as she thought that the poisonous crab was so poisonous that she quickly projected the light on her head into the water.
Sure enough, as the legend goes, as soon as those poisonous crabs touched the pool water, the green hairs on their bodies disappeared immediately, and the pool water was still clear and transparent, and there was no trace of dyeing green.
"It seems that Sister Lingling is right, these green-haired poisonous crabs have become normal crabs as soon as they get out of the water, and the pool water doesn't seem to be polluted!" Hongxing said, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Ding Lingling nodded and said, "Then let's go to that room quickly and find out if there are any other mechanisms!"
Several people agreed in unison, and ran along the corner of the wall on one side, through the doorway on the opposite wall, and entered the room that had just been crawling with green-haired poisonous crabs.
There were no more poisonous crabs in the house, only the huge sarcophagus still parked in the middle of the house.
"There should be a mezzanine on both sides, where should we go?" asked Hongxing.
"Look for the right side, I always feel that the left side must be a dead end, and the right side is the way out!" Ding Lingling said, already approaching the right wall to investigate.
Chen Xiaopang and Hongxing also walked over, because the wall was very wide, so it took more than ten minutes, but Hongxing found the switch first, so that a doorway in the wall was exposed.
A few people didn't dare to go in immediately, but Chen Xiaopang and Ding Lingling poked their heads into the left and right to look around.
Ding Lingling first said "ah", and turned her face to look at Chen Xiaopang next to her.
Chen Xiaopang looked intently at the door.
There is a large stone monument inside the door, which is facing the doorway without being crooked or slanted.
It is only more than two meters away from the stele to the doorway, so when this doorway is opened, the first thing people see is this stele
The stele is full of inscriptions, and like the stele outside, the font used in the inscription is also Qin Li.
The translation of the inscription means that in order to build this crystal palace, the superintendent specially invited the powerful Celestial Elephant Country Grand Master Ao Jian, and many magical facilities in the Crystal Palace were designed and built by the Great Master Ao Jian.
When Ding Lingling saw the "Grand Master of the Celestial Elephant Country", her heart couldn't help but move slightly, remembering that Ma Daocheng had mentioned the "Celestial Elephant Country in the Black Desert" before.
But this was not the time to discuss this, so she just thought about it for a moment in her mind and continued to look down.
The inscription on the back says that Archmage Ao Jian was merciful and unwilling to kill all the people, so when he designed the traps in the Crystal Palace, he deliberately left a way for the tomb robbers to survive.
If the tomb robbers enter this house and see this stone tablet, as long as they stop in time according to the stone tablet, they can leave the Crystal Palace safely.
If you don't heed the advice and continue to search the Crystal Palace, you will surely die without a place to be buried.
Ding Lingling looked at the last warning, and her heart couldn't help but clench.
Chen Xiaopang could understand her thoughts, and hurriedly pretended to smile lightly: "It seems that this is indeed a way to live, there should only be an organ for going out in this house, and there will be no more harmful organs!"
Hongxing can also understand Qin Li, but she can see it more slowly. Thinking that Tie Niu and Bai Yang don't know whether they are dead or alive now, she is also as sad and sad as Ding Lingling, and has nothing to say.
Only Ma Bingxiao didn't know Qin Li, so he chased and asked Chen Xiaopang what the inscription on the stele meant.
Chen Xiaopang translated with him as concisely as possible, and said: "Although the inscription does not directly indicate how to get out, it is definitely not difficult to find the mechanism to go out! But let's be careful, you stand outside for a while, and I'll go first." ”
As he spoke, he had cautiously walked into the doorway, clutching the shovel in both hands and pounding on the wall.
A few people waited at the doorway, seeing Chen Xiaopang turn the stone stele, Ding Lingling couldn't help but shout: "Senior brother, be careful!"
Chen Xiaopang shouted: "There is indeed no harm in this house, you all come in!"
The remaining three people went in just now, and when they bypassed the big stone tablet, they saw Chen Xiaopang opening his feet and slowly walking from the left corner to the right corner of the wall at a very even pace.
