085 The quest is not easy
An illumination orb floated in front of it, moving in unison with Roland's advance.
He was able to move about twenty meters away from Roland, so he could fully capture the scene ahead.
Don't underestimate this distance, many times, this distance can eliminate some ambushes or dangers.
The cave is not too wide, but it can be walked with three people, so it does not look crowded.
A musty smell of earth rushed into everyone's nostrils, but they didn't pay much attention. They walked slowly, trying not to make loud noises, while watching their surroundings warily.
Looking at the shape of the cave wall, it should have been dug by man. Hawke walked with his shield in his hand, and after a while, he suddenly stopped.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then put on a fighting posture.
Hawke didn't speak, just shook his head. Then he grabbed a handful of dirt on the cave wall, sniffed it, and tasted it with the tip of his tongue.
This action made the four people next to him feel a little unlovable, as if they were all eating mud.
Then Hawke threw away the dirt in the puzzled eyes of the four of them, and whispered: "I was surprised just now, the taste of this cave is a bit 'fresh', so I tasted the soil, this passage was dug recently, less than three years. ”
Jett's eyes widened: "I'll go, are you a Captain Touching Gold in real life?" ”
", I'm a civil engineering graduate." Hawke said angrily.
Jett nodded: "It's all the same, it's all digging holes." ”
"It's far from it, okay?" Hawke stood up and said helplessly: "One builds up, the other digs down, how can it be mixed up." ”
Then Jett noticed something strange: "Civil engineering students, do they have to learn now how long the mud and sand are unearthed with their tongues?"
"No, it's just a school feature." Hawke explains: "Every university's civil engineering department has different instructors, so different skills. For example, the talents who graduated from the civil engineering department of a certain university in the Qing Dynasty have exaggerated personnel command level and terrible time limit control. They are the best at building large-scale projects in a short period of time and using scientific crowd tactics. It is a representative of the aesthetics of violence in civil engineering. ”
"The tutor in our school is not so good, he used to be from the archaeology department. So he is very good at using simple tools and building materials to create a unique style of architecture, and because he once majored in archaeology, he is used to tasting building materials with his mouth to see if the building materials are qualified. ”
Jett said speechlessly: ", I suddenly feel that I am wasting my life if I have only been admitted to the tutor with mediocre ability and no unique second academy." ”
Roland thinks it's normal, his mentor is quite powerful in the field of artificial intelligence, and now that he has been 'missing', he generally knows what is going on.
The two of them chatted softly, and then walked slowly forward.
It stands to reason that in such a situation where you don't know if there is danger ahead, you should keep quiet.
But it's too quiet, it's not good.
As they walked more and more inside, the sound of the wind in nature and the chirping of insects and birds had been cut off from the outside. And in the passage, if they don't speak, only the sound of their heartbeat, the sound of walking softly, and the sound of bones rubbing together echoes.
Lacking the reverberation of nature, such silence will drive people to be upset and irritable, and if people with poor psychological resilience can even be driven crazy.
So they kept talking softly, and Roland interjected occasionally.
Before entering the dungeon, they thought they would run into enemies halfway through. For example, ghosts, or monsters or something.
But as a result, they walked through the entire passage and came to a huge rock cavern, and did not encounter any enemies.
In front of the entrance of the passage, there is a stone field, and in the distance there seems to be a faint streamer of light and darkness.
Roland drove the two illumination balls to continue flying, and the five of them saw the situation in the space clearly.
A large square space, the floor is paved with gray unknown rocks, and about 100 black sarcophagi are in a semicircle to guard a staircase at the far end.
The staircase is about a meter high, and above it is a large white sarcophagus, which stands out against the gray tones.
Behind the white sarcophagus is a tall white monument. Light blue, glowing lines slowly emerge on the stele, and then slowly disappear, and so on.
The place was quiet, as if it were in a void space, and it was cold.
Hawke let out a long breath, and a white mist spat out of his mouth: "This situation is a little familiar, let's walk over, will those glowing lines turn into streamers and submerge into our bodies?" And then a ghoul will stand up from the white sarcophagus with a frost sword and roar at us? ”
"You've had too many girly scrolls." Jett joked with a smile, "And most of them are running a lab." ”
Roland, Hawke, and Link all smiled at the same time.
Beta was curious and asked, "What is a maiden scroll?" ”
Roland was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "Go out and search the Internet yourself, I can't explain." ”
The other three let out a chuckle.
While laughing, the five walked out of the passage and cautiously walked into the prescription-shaped empty underground space.
A ball of light flew into the air, and above it was a columnar rock mass, and there was no danger in sight for the time being.
Among the more than a hundred coffins, there is a passage that divides the coffin group into two sides.
The five of them walked over, just stepped on the end of the passage, but suddenly stopped, because the many coffins had blocked some of the view, and when they walked here, they found that at the end of the road, there were four corpses lying in the corner of the steps below the white coffin.
"Be careful, the presence of corpses means danger." Hawke held his shield diagonally in front of him and walked slowly forward.
At this time, Roland's expression was very strange, he looked left and right a few times, and suddenly said: "Wait, I feel a little wrong, not very comfortable." ”
As soon as the four men heard this, they immediately retreated, and guarded Roland in the middle.
Hawke looked left and right, trying to find the enemy.
Jett began to give himself status magic, what brute force enhancement, agility enhancement, agility body, and so on.
The atmosphere was tense for a while.
Roland whispered, "Let's step back a little bit." ”
The crowd retreated.
Retreating to the vicinity of the passage, the other four relaxed their nervousness.
In their puzzled eyes, Roland said, "I am a magician, and I can sense the fluctuations of other people's mental power within a certain range. When I walked down the aisle just now, I suddenly found that the surrounding coffins also exuded spiritual power fluctuations, which may have been blocked by the sarcophagus, which was very weak, and I only reacted when I got closer. ”
Everyone felt a little numb in their scalps, and subconsciously looked at the sarcophagus group in front of them.
Jett asked, "How many are there?" ”
"Pretty much all of them."
Now the other four didn't want to talk anymore, no wonder Roland's reaction just now was so strange.
Hawke was stunned for a long time, and then took a breath of cold air: "I knew that the quest was not that simple. ”
