Chapter Seventy-Four: The Six Underground Palaces
There was an indescribably disgusting air in the bottomless dungeon, and little Patula began to express his displeasure as soon as she entered the dungeon, but it was not long before she fell asleep on her mother's back. Fortunately, the smell was unpleasant, at least not poisoning. A long staircase winds its way down the stone wall until it is completely submerged in darkness.
"It looks like you're going to hell." Senas said this with bad intentions. The reason for this judgment is that Senas is the only one in the group who has night vision, and he can undoubtedly see the farthest distance in the absence of sufficiently lit torches, but he wants to say such things in such an environment, which makes one have to question his motives.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm afraid you'll knock the ladder down." Li Tianhao said coldly.
"What a word! Agobar is heavier than me. Cernas grumbled unhappily.
"Not necessarily, your face weighs about twice as much as your weight." Alam interjected, causing everyone to laugh.
Xenas stopped, turned to Aram and said, "I said you little guy is getting more and more disagreeable, and it seems that it is time to teach you a lesson." ”
"I can't ask for it, I have a 100% advantage in this narrow space, don't regret it, uncle." Alam didn't back down.
"Enough! If you have too much energy, when you are tired, you should save some energy now. Nisinis, who was leading the way, said coldly. Her shriveled voice seemed to emerge from a crack in the stone, and it was so eerie that everyone couldn't help but shut up.
Since Nisinis said that something was going to happen after that. Then it was bound to happen, and everyone's nerves began to tense. Only Xenas looked indifferent. He touched the giant sword behind his back and said, "Great." It's been too boring all the way, and it's best if something happens. ”
"It seems that in addition to Li Tianhao, there is also a person who likes to find trouble." Nisinis shook her head.
"I'm afraid there's more than one." Brooks added.
"I don't need you to remind you, Alam is already a scourge, please don't have to make another incident." "If it weren't for his constant troublemaking, things would have gone much more smoothly," Nisinis said. ”
When Alam heard this, he immediately jumped out: "Mother-in-law, it's not right for you to say that, aren't you able to predict the prophet?" You know I'm going to make trouble, why don't you stop me? ”
"Because you're still useful, at least more than you get into trouble." Nisinis replied coldly.
As he spoke, he had unconsciously reached the bottom of the stairs. Nisinis suddenly waved for everyone to stop: "Attention! Follow in my footsteps. Can't go wrong! Those who are behind follow in the footsteps of those in front of them, and don't fall behind. If anyone steps on the wrong step, they will have to ask for more blessings. ”
With that, Nisinis began to take her first step towards the ground, and then stepped on a tile in front of her.
Since she had warned so, everyone cautiously followed her footsteps and slowly walked forward, and after about sixty or so floor tiles, Nisinis relaxed. He turned around and said, "Okay, by the time I'm here, the first line of defense has passed." ”
Xenas jumped up to Nisinis and said, "It's boring. It's so easy, I really want to try to see what happens if you step on the wrong step. ”
"I advise you not to cause further trouble, if you still want to go back the way you came. After everyone leaves the dungeon, you can go and test it. Li Tianhao said.
Nisinis didn't care about the quarrel between them. Searching for something in the surrounding walls with her torches, she stopped and said, "Here it is." Statue of the god of wind. ”
Everyone followed her voice, and sure enough, there was a huge relief of the wind god Xiu on the wall. Nisinis took out the piece of metal engraved with Hugh from under his robe, handed it to Brooks, and said, "You put it in that hole in the Anemo God's chest, and twist it in half a circle." ”
Brooks took the piece of metal, looked at the towering statue, sighed, and said, "It's really hard to climb." ”
Despite his complaints, Brooks put the piece of metal in his arms, then jumped onto the statue, climbed up the shoulders of the god of wind with his hands and feet, and then put the piece of metal into the hole in its chest, and twisted it hard.
Suddenly there was a loud noise throughout the wall, and a crack cracked in the wall, which grew larger and larger until it was large enough for a man to pass through.
Nisinis looked up at Brooks and said, "I'm going to ask you to keep this position and guard this door until we get back." ”
"What do you say! Mother-in-law, you can't do this, how long are you going to let me stay here? ”
"It won't be long, please." With that, Nisinis walked through the stone door, and everyone watched with sympathy as poor Brooks followed him.
Upon entering the stone gate, there is a much smaller corridor, flanked by statues of soldiers, each holding a rusty metal weapon.
"Everyone, pay attention, as soon as we take a step, these stone statues will wave these weapons indiscriminately to protect Her Royal Highness and Her Majesty the Queen through here, Xenas, it's time for you to do a little more."
"Willing to serve, these stone statues are not enough for me to warm up." Xenas said, pulling out his greatsword and stepping into the corridor first.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the corridor, the stone statues began to swing their weapons and slash horizontally, and Xenas used his greatsword to fend off their attacks, and even took half a step back!
Xenas's strength is undoubtedly the first among everyone, but even he is still a little struggling, and the attack power of these stone statues can be seen! However, these people who came were all masters, and they soon discovered that the attack line of the stone statue was very simple, and it was not too difficult to dodge, but it was not so simple to let Her Majesty and Princess Patula pass.
"Xenas, don't just resist, try cutting off the arm joints of those stone statues!" Li Tianhao shouted after looking at it for a while.
"Great idea!" When Xenas heard Li Tianhao's attention, he immediately slammed his backhand sword into the arm and shoulder joint of a stone statue, only to hear a loud bang, and the shoulder was smashed into pieces of rubble along with the arm! The stone statue only had one hand left, and its attack power was immediately greatly reduced, and Xenas did not hesitate to immediately shatter its other arm, and the movements of these stone statues completely lost their attack ability.
Seeing that it worked, Agobar stepped forward and joined the warband with his tomahawk.
"Everyone, with the two of them opening the way, everyone can pass safely." Li Tianhao said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
