Volume 3 Adventure in the Neutral Zone Chapter 19: The Bronze Gate (1)

"That, Xiaoyang. Ling Haoyun said in a hoarse voice, there is a fat uncle who naturally can't call his real name.

"What's wrong?" Yang Haohui asked.

"Can you please stop touching my ass, we're both men, and I feel a little dangerous when you do this....... in every sense. ”

"I'm sorry senior, it's too dark to see the road. After saying this, Yang Haohui took two steps back slightly, keeping a distance of about three steps from Ling Haoyun.

Accidentally touching Ling Haoyun was indeed not Yang Haohui's intention, it was really this place narrow and dark enough, and Ling Haoyun happened to be carried in front of him by Feng Haogeng.

When everyone arrived at the mouth of this amethyst cave with great difficulty, they were surprised to find that there was no other cave here, but only a narrow tunnel.

The four walls of the tunnel are a kind of amethyst-like mineral, which is transparent and smooth, and the surface seems to be coated with a layer of glaze. The fat uncle was greedy for money and wanted to cut a few pieces from the wall and sell them for money, but found that the carving knife could only scratch sparks on it, and he couldn't even leave traces. The tunnel is very deep, and the icy air currents blow out from the depths from time to time, as if leading to the Nine Shadows Yellow Spring, and the light of the shaking lamp cannot shine through.

After a short rest, the group groped their way through the tunnel. The tunnel was very narrow, only enough for one person to pass, and everyone had no choice but to line up in a long line. The shaking lamp was handed over to Han Shihao at the front, and the fat uncle in the center took out the "Night Pearl", Feng Haogeng was the third from the bottom with Ling Haoyun on his back, Yang Haohui was the second from the bottom, and Mo Meng was at the end of the team.

"Senior, ignore him. Feng Haogen lowered his voice and snorted, and lifted Ling Haoyun on his back, "I have been touched by this cold-blooded animal, and I am panicked for you." ”

Mo Meng frowned and wanted to draw the knife, but was stopped by Yang Haohui with a wave of his hand. She was very quiet all the way, it wasn't that she didn't want to vent her evil anger for Yang Haohui, if Yang Haohui hadn't stopped her, she would have proposed to fight with Feng Haogeng a long time ago.

The tunnel was far longer than expected, and thankfully there were no forks in the road, and Nightshade didn't give you a map of the inside of the Amethyst Cave, but any fork in the road would be a nuisance.

Scratches gradually appeared on the four walls, which became clearer under the reflection of the light. It doesn't seem to be the result of weathering, the notches are arranged in some kind of esoteric pattern, with more sides and less tops, much like artificially written on amethyst walls. Yang Haohui glanced at it slightly, whether it was the original world or the Tianyuan realm, there seemed to be no similar "words".

After nearly half a minute of progress, the voice of Han Shihao suddenly came from the front of the team, and the sound reflected a clear echo in the tunnel.

"Stop, there's a wall. ”

The end of the tunnel suddenly became empty, and Amethyst constructed a semi-spherical space at the end of the tunnel. Everyone gathered together, and sure enough, there was a boxy stone wall in front of them. The walls are so bright that they can clearly show everyone's faces, and it is more like a door than a boulder blocking the exit of the tunnel.

"Ahla, is there no way?" Ye Ruohua just wanted to step forward and knock, but was immediately slapped off by the fat uncle.

"You don't want to live, do you?" the fat uncle snorted, "There are many hidden caves with mechanisms, don't catch us if you want to fucking die." ”

"Xiao Wang, stay away, Xiao Han, you go. The fat uncle twisted his head at Han Shihao.

Han Shihao nodded, he had the best defense in the team, and he was the captain of the ghost class, so he was responsible for this situation. To be safe, Han Shihao summoned Nioh, raised his shield and stepped forward cautiously, knocking lightly on the stone wall a few times.

Nothing out of the ordinary happened.

"Bump. The fat uncle said as he took a few steps back.

Han Shihao raised his shield and struck as he said, the dull sound echoed in the tunnel, the stone wall was as quiet as ever, and there was no mechanism to trigger. Han Shihao then tried again, and also used Nioh Zhen, except for a greater reverberation, the stone wall did not move at all.

"It's hard. Han Shihao pondered for a while and said, "It shouldn't be forcibly destroyed, but there is no mechanism either." ”

"Didn't you say this stubble in the commission you accepted?" the fat uncle looked displeased, in front of him, these melons were still "novice explorers".

"Nope. Han Shihao shook his head awkwardly.

"Grandma, you have a leg, your employer has less brains. The fat uncle scolded angrily.

These words really touched the hearts of the ghost class, and at the same time, they remembered the voice and appearance of Yeyin, the "employer", in their minds, and they all nodded with deep understanding.

"What now, it's stuck here. Ye Ruohua patted the stone wall and said depressedly.

"It's supposed to be a mechanism. Wang Shun, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "We all felt it when we first came in, right? This tunnel has wind flow, but how can there be air flow in a tunnel blocked at the end?"

"Is there a crack in the stone door?" asked the fat uncle.

"It should be. Wang Shun coughed twice, "After the Great Holy War, many powerful people in ancient times would hide their treasures in the deep mountains and old forests, supplemented by machine-like checkpoints to protect the mausoleum. The situation is very similar. ”

As he spoke, he took out a packet of fluorite powder from the travel ring and sprinkled it on his palm, the palm of his hand that had been drenched in the rain still had moisture remaining, and he rubbed his palms together, and the fine and broken fluorescence emitted.

"Do an experiment. He picked up the powder and blew it with his mouth, and a bright glow like phosphorus fire covered the stone door. Soon everyone understood his intentions, and the stone dust stirred slightly where the edge of the wall came into contact with the tunnel, pouring into the crack as if it had been sucked in.

"Here it is. Wang Shun took out a slender iron wire, this senior who graduated from the Yuanwu Preparation Department seemed to have countless gadgets hidden in the ring, he went deep into the gap between the "door" and the tunnel wall, the slight sound of gear clinking, the stone door actually began to slowly rotate on the left side as the axis open.

There was no need to shake the lamp at all, the torches were lit in rows, and the huge space behind the door was visible to everyone.

"Oh my God. This exclamation resounded in everyone's hearts the moment the stone gate cave opened, and even a veteran explorer like Uncle Fat, who had been in countless caves through a hundred battles, was shocked by the magnificent and beautiful scene in front of him at this moment.

The space dozens of times wider than the doorway came into view. At the real end of the tunnel, there is such a wide cavern. The ground, the walls, the cave tops, everything was made of tons of amethyst. Dozens of stout stalactites hang from the dome, each six meters away, but the ends are still nearly ten meters away from the ground. In the end, the space in this cave is too large, and every inch of amethyst in the space is reflecting the firelight, colorful like a starry sky.

Everyone walked into the cave cautiously and slowly, and the fat uncle reminded that this kind of hiding cave has a high probability of hiding a mechanism, and the previous mechanism door also proves this possibility very well. But until everyone has fully entered, this Amethyst Cave Mansion still stands in absolute silence, magnificent and majestic.

Yang Haohui looked back immediately after entering, and the expected 'after entering a certain place, the gate was immediately closed' did not happen, and sure enough, the expedition was not a TV plot, and the door was open unless someone closed it again.

"Like....... It's safe. Ye Ruohua looked left and right.

"It's pretty clean. Lan Borou on the side lightly touched the amethyst rock wall near the entrance, and there was no trace of dust.

"What is your commission this time?" the fat uncle asked suddenly.

"Exploding Yuan Dan, a blood-red pill with a frosted surface, the size of a general pill. Han Shihao repeated Yeyin's words.

"That's weird. The fat uncle frowned and pointed ahead, "It's too clean here." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, looked in the direction of the fat uncle's finger, and understood the meaning.

When they first entered the cave, they were all shocked by the grandeur of tens of thousands of tons of amethyst, and it was not until they came back to their senses that they suddenly found that there was nothing in this magnificent cave. In the past few days, they have been popularized with the knowledge of exploration, and the general way of storing treasures in caves is roughly divided into two types.

The first is to store treasures in treasure chests, which are mostly small earthen caves, and most of them are gold or precious stones. The most famous explorer in the Western Metaverse, Belorgal, is one of the most famous explorers of the "Treasure Chest Stream", who once excavated a treasure chest that looked like a hill in a deep mountain in the southern part of the Forest of the End, and when he smashed the treasure chest with his meta-technique, gold and sapphires rained down, and this "Rain of Gold and Stone" once became a proud legend of the Forest of the End.

The other type is stored in clever secret doors, and this type is mostly mausoleum mounds. When he was dying, the lord of the cave set up a mechanism to prevent tomb robbers and explorers from entering, and guarded the peace of the mausoleum with a mechanism made of special minerals. This kind of "guard" is not corrupt for thousands of years and is loyal.

But most of the caves in this "tomb stream" will have coffins or burial places, but there is nothing here. In the direction pointed by Uncle Fat, except for amethyst or amethyst, the huge space was empty and spotless, and the only guard was the stone gate at the door. This kind of rudimentary defense is not at all like the rejection of outsiders thousands of miles away, and it is even a little ....... The feeling of waiting for someone to arrive.

A mausoleum waiting for others to enter? Everyone thought it was a little strange just thinking about it. What is the purpose of this? If this amethyst cave is someone's grave, then where is the coffin? What does the owner of this cave want to protect? What kind of person will build this huge, empty space made up entirely of amethyst after death?

Where is the Explosion Yuan Dan?

The group walked slowly in a circle to the other end of the cavern, trying to find out if there was a secret door that was not easy to detect, but this idea was quickly dispelled. Because in the direction directly opposite the entrance, another door appeared.

It's not that they don't have a good eye to see it now, but that this cave is too big. This amethyst geode resembles an inverted hemisphere of space, with a second door at the farthest end of the entrance. From such a distance, they looked through the light of the torches around them, and at first thought it was just a mural.

As they got closer, they could understand that it was undoubtedly a door, a gigantic door made of bronze. The whole body of the door is carved with a snake or vine-like pattern, and from the low end of the door upwards, the pattern becomes more and more scattered, like a vein stretching, and like a ....... that is spreading branches and leaves Tree.

The possibility of a secret door has been removed, the owner of the mausoleum is very understanding, this bronze door is the only place here that is not made of amethyst, and you can see that there is definitely a problem.

"it. The fat uncle wiped his face fiercely, "Why is it a door again?" Lao Tzu has been in the neutral zone for thirteen years, and it is the first time he has seen such a strange hole. ”

"We're weird, too. Han Shihao smiled bitterly, "The 'client' didn't tell us anything, after all, there are few brains and tendons......."

"Knock away!" the fat uncle ordered impatiently, "This hole looks like it should be quite safe, and it should be resolved quickly." ”

"I want to ....... too," Han Shihao looked up at the bronze door, which was much higher than the previous stone gate, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "This doesn't look like it can be knocked open." ”

"Use Yuan Technique to blast?" Ye Ruohua looked at Wang Shun again, "Or will you come and find the mechanism again?"

"Xiao Ye, don't tease me. Wang Shun was very embarrassed, "If you want to push this huge door, you need a lot more gears than the one at the door, and I am not omnipotent, and I don't know much about such a complex structure." And the fluorite powder can't float on it, what if the mechanism is on top?"

"Then just smash it, it doesn't look like there is any mechanism in this place. "Ye Ruohua's big proposal.

"Don't fuck me, okay? You just taught me a few days ago to be careful, are you hooked in your head?" said the fat uncle angrily.

"Your brain has just been thickened, you don't even have long hair!" "There is no danger for the time being, Ye Ruohua doesn't have to keep quiet and say it boldly, the fat uncle has been drinking and annoying her in the past few days.

"What........ Your fat grandfather, I have a trendy hairstyle! It's all popular in neutral areas!" The fat uncle was poked in the soft underbelly at once, he touched his Mediterranean, obviously quite concerned, but it was still a dead duck with a hard mouth.

The quiet cave suddenly became lively, and everyone couldn't reach a consensus on how to open this second door, and there was a lot of noise, and it seemed that the more noisy it was, the more off-topic, and the "quiet faction" such as Lan Bo Rou and Yang Haohui were silently watching the battle. If the owner of the mausoleum saw this scene, he probably wanted to sigh, damn the door is placed here for you, you can't open it?

"Brother Yang?!" When everyone was arguing happily, Mo Meng's exclamation suddenly came from the back of the line.

Everyone immediately looked back, only to see Yang Haohui actually walking slowly thinking about the bronze gate. He didn't blink at all, his expression was dull, and he was surrounded by torches for lighting, but there was not the slightest highlight in his eyes. He walked step by step, slowly and solemnly, as if he was about to worship some god.

"Stop him!" the fat uncle's face changed, "Be careful, this kid has fallen into evil!"

Quarrel after quarrel, but no one really let their guard down. Feng Haogeng was carrying Ling Haoyun on his back and it was inconvenient to do anything, so he could only yell. Han Shihao stepped forward to push Yang Haohui down, Mo Meng and Lan Borou also launched at the same time, trying to pull him from behind Yang Haohui, and the three of them surrounded Yang Haohui in a bag. But at this moment, a dull sonic boom sounded from Yang Haohui's body, and the three of them only felt a huge force attack, and they flew out upside down at the same time.

Yang Haohui still didn't react, just walked forward like a pilgrimage. He couldn't hear anything, he couldn't see anything but the bronze door. The body is soft and comfortable like it has never been, as if it is in the clouds.

Chaotic fragments began to flicker in my mind, the blazing fire that crossed the sky, the seven-colored light that filled the sky, the deep forests and mountains, and the wasteland and sea. It seems that someone is using his mind as a medium to tell the vicissitudes of life and the turn of the sun and the moon, and at this moment he has become a child who loves stories, and his ears are ringing with a silent and melodious hymn like the wind and the moon. The last fragment is actually frozen back to this huge bronze door, which is the beginning and the end of everything. The tree-like patterns, which were not obvious at all, became clear, and they were plated with a layer of pure golden yellow, like a real lush golden giant tree rising from the ground in front of you!

Yang Haohui finally walked to the bronze door, and no one could stop him. Again and again, the man who was able to move was bounced away by the unknown might, and he gently slit his palm, imprinting his bloodied hand on the door. Not a drop fell, and the blood was rapidly absorbed by the door, and the scarlet blood was carried upwards along the pattern of the bronze door, getting higher and higher, until the end of the treetops at the end was also filled with blood........ The tree on the door seems to have come to life, and it is growing with the blood of Yang Haohui as nourishment, until it has truly become a giant tree imprinted on the door, supported by blood!

A deep voice came to his mind at the last moment of Yang Haohui's fall, like an oracle descending from the Supreme Heavenly Dome.

"Welcome, God's Domain. ”

To be continued......
