Text Chapter 12 The Underground Palace
As soon as Qin Mu entered the crypt, his eyes were dim and dark, and he could only feel a chill, he could hear the conversation of the elders of the three major families above, if he let the three of them know that they had entered the crypt in advance, they would definitely not give up.
Qin Mu groped his way forward, and he felt as if he had entered a long and narrow passage, and there seemed to be hard stone walls on both sides of him. Qin Mu pressed one hand on the stone wall, his body pressed against the stone wall, and kept walking forward.
It didn't take long to walk, and suddenly Qin Mu's hand on the stone wall was empty, and his whole person lost support in an instant, and he fell headlong, Qin Mu felt that he was falling down very quickly.
"Bang. ”
Qin Mu felt as if he had hit a boulder, and the bones in his body seemed to be about to fall apart, and the piercing pain made it a little difficult for him to breathe. Qin Mu curled up and struggled to open his eyes,
At this time, his eyes were a little used to the darkness. The two monsters carved from boulders more than a zhang high in front of him, this monster was more than a zhang long, with wings on its back, Qin Mu only glanced at it, and felt that the two stone carvings in front of him had an inexplicable majesty.
Qin Mu straightened up, his gaze swept over the two stone beasts, there were two stone doors closed in the middle of the stone beasts, and strange characters were engraved on the stone doors, Qin Mu observed carefully for a while, and found that these characters should have been a long time ago, and he didn't even know any of them.
Qin Mu stretched out his hand and pushed the stone door, the stone door did not move, Qin Mu stepped towards the stone gate with all his strength, the stone gate still did not make a sound, only shook his leg sorely and numb.
Qin Mu couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, he turned his gaze and looked around, all around were smooth stone walls, Qin Mu didn't know where he fell from.
Qin Mu stared at the strange characters on the two stone doors, and thought in his heart: "If you can recognize these characters, you may be able to find a way out." Now he hoped in his heart that the elders of the three major families could also come here, maybe they would be able to recognize the characters here.
Qin Mu stretched out his hand and slowly stroked every character on the stone door, the place where his fingertips crossed was piercing cold, Qin Mu's expression was decadent, he sat on the ground with his back against the giant claws of a stone beast, and the surroundings were quiet, except for the sound of his own breathing, he couldn't hear a sound.
"Click. ”
I don't know how long it took, Qin Mu was suddenly startled by a crisp sound behind him, he turned his head to look, and saw that the giant claw he was leaning on actually cracked a crack, and it was constantly expanding.
"Could it be that the stone beast is going to shatter. Qin Mu thought in his heart, and then his expression changed sharply, and he jumped up in an instant, and fled to a place a few feet away from the stone beast. At this time, the crack in the stone beast's claw broke all the way down the leg. In the blink of an eye, the entire front half of the stone beast's body was covered with cracks.
"Roar. ”
Qin Mu heard a low roar from the mouth of the stone beast, Qin Mu's eyes widened, he looked at the stone beast with a surprised expression, and comforted in his heart: "I must have heard it wrong, how could this stone beast make a roar, unless this beast has come to life." Qin Mu was also frightened by this idea of his own.
But the scene in front of him at this time confirmed his thoughts, huge stones began to fall on the head of the stone beast, and in a moment, the head of a giant beast appeared in front of Qin Mu's eyes, covered with two red eyes under the white hair, and the two fangs were like two sharp blades.
"Roar. ”
The giant beast roared, its entire huge body suddenly appeared in front of the stone gate, the huge roar shook Qin Mu's ears and bled out, he leaned tightly against the stone wall behind him, his eyes looked at the giant beast in a daze, this giant beast was snow-white,
"Roar. ”
The giant beast roared angrily, the wind howled between the swings of its wings, Qin Mu saw that the giant beast had already pounced towards him, he trembled with fright, closed his eyes and hurriedly covered his head with his hands.
With a loud "click", the giant beast suddenly paused when it was one step away from Qin Mu, and the giant beast let out an unwilling roar, Qin Mu could already feel the scorching breath that erupted from the mouth of the giant beast.
Qin Mu slowly opened his eyes, he saw that there was a very thick red gold chain tied to the giant beast's body, and the other end of the chain was tied to the stone gate, and after the giant beast tried it a few times, he found that he couldn't tear off the chain, so he lay down in front of the stone gate, his eyes showed a fierce light, staring at Qin Mu.
Qin Mu looked at the other giant beast in front of the door and said in his heart: "That stone beast must be the same as the one in front of you, but why did this one suddenly come to life?"
Qin Mu straightened up, he walked to the stone beast on the other side of the stone door, he saw that there was also a red gold chain tied to the stone beast, and the other end of the chain was also tied to the stone door. Qin Mu thought about it for a while, and he immediately understood that the stone gate in front of him could only be opened if these two giant beasts pulled at the same time, but when the stone gate was opened by the red gold chains on the giant beasts, he would have nowhere to avoid the attack of the two giant beasts.
At the same time, Qin Mu also figured out one thing, the reason why the previous giant beast was able to be resurrected was all because of himself, it was his own body temperature that made this sleeping giant beast wake up, as long as the same method was used, this second giant beast could definitely be resurrected, but the resurrection of the second giant beast itself was also facing the danger of death.
Qin Mu's expression was solemn, he began to hesitate a little, and he was also a little timid in his heart, but he himself knew better that he was trapped in this underground palace at the moment, taking a risk, there was still a glimmer of life, if he didn't dare to try, he could only wait for others to save him, or die here.
After Qin Mu hesitated for a long time, he still put his hand on the body of this stone beast, and then this stone beast completely awakened like the previous one.
The deafening roar startled the beast from before to its feet, and the stone door was buzzed. Qin Mu hid in the farthest place from the stone gate, allowing the two snow-white giant beasts to roar, and the two red gold chains were torn loudly.
Suddenly, the two giant beasts looked at each other, turned around and ran towards the stone gate, and crashed into the heavy stone door in the blink of an eye, Qin Mu was stunned by the scene in front of him, when the two giant beasts hit the stone gate, the entire stone gate was suddenly covered by a layer of white light curtain, and the door flashed with pieces of silver-white brilliance, and the characters on the door seemed to be alive, and it seemed that someone was writing, and they were highlighted one by one.
After a few moments, the brilliance faded, and the entire stone door disappeared, leaving only a dark doorway. At this moment, Qin Mu suddenly realized in his heart that there are two levels of life and death, life is both death and death.
At this time, Qin Mu's expression was calm, and without the slightest hesitation, he walked straight into the door. As soon as he entered the gate, Qin Mu saw that Wu Si was actually standing not far from him.
"Why are you here?" Wu Si looked at Qin Mu and asked with a surprised expression. "Who is he?" At this time, three old men suddenly appeared beside Wu Si, and Qin Mu guessed that these must be those three elders.
"As soon as I came in, I somehow got here. Qin Mu glanced at a few people, and responded indifferently. Wu Si looked at the three old men beside him, and said with a helpless smile: "It seems that we are a daredevil, we still have to rely on ourselves." ”
Elder Ji turned his eyes and sighed melancholy: "There are nine gates here, I don't know which one to take?" Elder Win suddenly looked at Qin Mu and asked, "How did you get in just now, can you get out?" Qin Mu smiled bitterly and said, "As soon as I came in, I stumbled and fell, and I arrived here." ”
Wu Si glanced at Qin Mu and said to the elders of the Ji family: "Senior, it's better for us to go separately, maybe we can find a way out." Elder Ji turned his head and asked the other two elders, "What do you two think?" Elder Yao seemed to have anger in his heart, and he snorted coldly: "That's it." ”
