Chapter 372: Precision Instruments in the Mythological Period?

All the members of the "Ghost Regiment" fell into the bottomless black hole with the collapse of the floor of the secret room.

This move shocked the people of the "Dead Song Troupe", but they didn't dare to chase it.

Luhr also guessed that Raymond and the others would definitely not kill themselves, and that there must be a deep meaning in doing so.

He also guessed that maybe... There's an escape from this underground.

However, not to mention being impacted by this tide of evil spirits, you can only retreat but not advance. What's more, even if he was really given the opportunity to choose, Luer would never choose to jump into that kind of pit with Raymond and the others.

Swimming among evil spirits?

That's what a madman would choose.

This dungeon has been sealed in the dust for countless years, and the devil knows what monsters are underneath it. Judging from this tide of evil spirits, the density and rank of underground evil spirits are probably higher than anywhere else in the library! Now turn around and flee, there is still a glimmer of life; If you don't escape, you will surely die!

The moment the ground collapsed, countless evil spirits unleashed a [howl of fear] towards everyone in the "Death Song Troupe".

If they also have a stat panel, they can see that their "will" attribute must be a cliff-finding decline.

This kind of stackable negative state can be avoided even by the top-level transcendent.

No, in one face, most of the dozens of people in the "Dead Song Troupe" were hit by [Bad Luck], and one by one their limbs were uncontrolled, swallowing guns and drinking bullets, and attacking each other... In the blink of an eye, at the door of the library's secret room, a large number of corpses fell horizontally.

[Bloody Nun] Martha's reaction was also extremely fast, and she roared angrily: "Don't be stunned, go quickly!" ”

In such a dangerous situation, even she can't care about other people, and the holy light is restricted, so she can only ensure that the three or two people around her are okay for the time being.

Without the slightest hesitation, she grabbed Lul by the collar like a chick and broke through.

Others can die, but this new reserve captain can't! Otherwise, she would be too derelict in her duties, the captain of the dignified [Elephant Emperor] Seventh Team!

"I can run on my own..."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Lull swallowed the second half of the sentence in his mouth and couldn't say it.

But Martha's rude behavior made Lul feel very ashamed!

He is a young master of the revolutionary army, and he is twisted by a fat woman, and he can't struggle... How do you look like a rich woman and a duck are going to do some indescribable thing?

......

The "Dead Song Troupe" is experiencing a crisis of annihilation.

On the other hand, the group of "ghosts" fell sharply in the pit where the floor collapsed.

The aura of Raymond's [Ghost Devourer] skill opened widely, like a harvester, and happily harvested a wave of soul points. In just a few moments, he probably swallowed tens of thousands of evil spirits.

The prompt sound of the system sounded loudly, and Raymond only felt that his mental power had skyrocketed, and he even watched it rise a lot with his senses.

The pit of hundreds of meters was already over in a short time, and Anna's condensed water elemental air cushion allowed them to cushion the ground smoothly.

"Whew... It's dangerous! I didn't expect to meet a captain of the [Elephant Emperor]. ”

"However, those evil spirits are estimated to be enough for them, even if they are top-notch and extraordinary, such a number will definitely not be comfortable."

"Humph! Those guys still want to rob us of the treasure we found, and they deserve it..."

“...”

Getting rid of the killing intent of [Bloody Nun] Martha, everyone only felt refreshed.

There is also a kind of pleasure of slapping the face while it is hot.

But when they came back to their senses, they looked at the surrounding black and oppressive surroundings, and they had doubts.

Anna looked around, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, and said, "Captain, where are we now?" How do I feel that there is no end to the space here? ”

She couldn't see the outline of any building at all, and she was susceptible, and there was nothing around her. It's like it's an extremely empty space, countless times larger than the entire library above.

Obviously, there was something unusual about the size of this space, which made her so surprised.

"Hmm... The space here is indeed a bit quirky. However, let's just follow the direction where the evil spirits gather..."

Raymond is actually very aware that this is an "underground labyrinth".

Although the space is large, it is not the boundless of the phenomenon. Instead, the walls in the labyrinth are coated with special spices that absorb perception, light, and mental power... Let people perceive the past, and they can't "touch" any physical object at all.

The dwarven craftsmen who built this labyrinth in the first place probably wanted to use the labyrinth to trap those who rushed into it and make people lose their way.

But they didn't expect that countless years later, countless resentful spirits would accumulate in this labyrinth.

If this labyrinth is empty, it is estimated that even Raymond will be "blind", completely unable to find the direction, and may not be in danger.

But now the passage of this dungeon is full of fluorescent evil spirits, like a sink filled with water, so that he can easily distinguish the route structure of this labyrinth.

This is a very complicated dungeon, and there is only one way to live.

In the game, after countless attempts and deaths, the player also figured out all the layout of the maze.

This dungeon has many large and small rooms, and you will encounter a large number of monsters along the way. In some large rooms, there will also be silver and gold level boss monsters.

Of course, the deadliest ones are the "dwarven traps" that have no sign at all!

The ancient dwarves are the best race at forging, and the traps they create are also the deadliest existences...

Raymond guessed that the labyrinth was designed to hide some secrets.

In the post-mythological civilization period, it was the era of the coexistence of gods, and the mechanism designed here was absolutely deadly to any human being in the world.

I don't know the layout of the mechanism, and if I rush into here, even the top transcendent will die!

"Let's mark the ground, let's go explore this underground palace..."

Out of caution, Raymond was still not blindly confident in his experience.

He beckoned everyone to make a mark, and cautiously led the big guy all the way to the tentative way.

......

It seems that they were forced into this place by the "Dead Song Troupe", but in fact, Raymond also had plans to come down.

Because, one of the exits of this labyrinth also happens to lead to the third floor of the dungeon.

He now has the [Ghost Devourer] skill, and this route is much safer than the other routes that go to the third floor.

However, he had no plans to leave the dungeon for the time being.

There are countless resentful monsters here, where can I find such a good "upgrade place" in another place? If he doesn't swallow it all, he has no intention of leaving.

What's more, he also wanted to go to the core of the maze and see what was taken away by the Wasteland Player, it was worth the dwarven craftsmen to design such a complex and deadly maze to hide it!

Perhaps, it may also reveal the reason why this library has accumulated so many resentful spirits!

......

Raymond led the group all the way forward, avoiding the "high-risk areas" in the game that had been discovered by the player's life.

Even if he had a clear idea of the layout of this dungeon in his mind, he was also extremely cautious, afraid that if there were any different settings from the game, it would cause their "ghost group" to be wiped out.

Sure enough, "land reclamation" is the time when the benefits are greatest.

Even Raymond never expected that there would be so many evil spirits in this dungeon... It's like breathing, and if you swallow it casually, you can strangle hundreds of monsters.

In this way, Raymond and the others stayed in the dungeon for a few days, and after he devoured hundreds of thousands of evil spirits briskly, the density of monsters in the entire dungeon became sparse.

If it continues to be consumed, the benefits will become smaller and smaller.

Raymond quietly touched the core of the dungeon.

They found a small room and drilled into it.

It was as if he had lost control and entered a special space.

This is the most dangerous area of the map, the "Cross Labyrinth".

......

The layout of this independent space can be seen at a glance, and it is clearly a "cross" shaped space.

This is the last mechanism to enter the core area, and it is also the heaviest one.

Four passages, four gates.

One wrong step will surely lead to death.

"The order of the four doors... Up, up, left, down, right, down... This is the only way to pass without encountering any danger. ”

Raymond has been to this dungeon many times, and he clearly remembers the way this dungeon walked.

There are a total of 4,096 ways to walk through these four gates, and only this "six-step method" is the safest.

If they take the wrong step, a fatal crisis awaits them.

The top transcendent with superior strength, they may have a few more chances of making a few wrong moves, but there are more than 4,000 ways to move, and every time they encounter a killing machine, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to try all the moves alive.

For the sake of caution, Raymond still made a mark, and then led everyone into the top door.

Then the surrounding scene turned, but everyone found that they had entered the same "cross space" as the one just now! Whether it's the layout of the house or the notch lines on the walls, it's exactly the same, like a mirror world.

The only difference is that there is no mark that Raymond placed earlier.

Seeing this strange scene, everyone stopped.

"Captain, we seem to be trapped."

Colin was the first to discover the anomaly, frowned, and said cautiously: "Mirror space, this seems to be the legendary 'Pandora's Endless Labyrinth', a mysterious labyrinth constructed by fantasy and real space. The space we are in should no longer be the dungeon we just stayed in. It's not even a real space in the conventional sense. ”

"Not bad."

Hearing Colin's gap, Nicole also showed unprecedented solemnity, and said: "I once deduced this kind of labyrinth, four doors, at least three thousand ways to move... Its simplest function is to trap people. But I think the dwarven craftsmen will definitely set up deadly traps on some wrong routes. ”

"Hmm..."

Raymond nodded, agreeing. He knew very well that they were on the wrong path, and that it was not only deadly traps that greeted them, but also high-level monsters.

As soon as the two mechanics entered the door, they analyzed the situation of this maze, which was roughly similar to the setting in the game.

Although Colin and the others knew the principle, they couldn't crack it.

This kind of labyrinth belongs to "hard-core decryption", except for the designer himself, outsiders can only try to break in and get out.

However, if someone who really doesn't know breaks in, even if there are a thousand lives, they may not be able to get out alive.

This is where the killing machine designed by the dwarven craftsmen back then.

Go back?

No... From the first moment you step into the "cross labyrinth", there is only advance, and there is no way back.

After the analysis of Colin's two top mechanics, the rest of the "Ghost Group" also had a faint sense of crisis of "being trapped" when they heard it.

Anna on the side thought for a moment, and frowned slightly: "This labyrinth gives me the feeling... It bears some resemblance to the voyage diagram on the 'Theseus shipbuilding drawings'. The design of the labyrinth may not exist in one space, but multiple complex spaces overlap and come together... If you want to get out, it will probably be a hassle. ”

Thor was a little worried: "Then aren't we trapped?" ”

Gigi: "Squeak squeak..." (Captain two fools, you tricked King Gigi!) )

Lulu looked indifferent: "The captain should have a way." ”

Colin also thought of something, and his eyebrows fluttered: "Captain, it's time to show your true prophecy technique!" ”

Everyone looked at Captain Raymond, who looked like usual, and knew that he must have a way to deal with it.

What's more, no matter how you look at this road, it seems that he deliberately guided it.

The worry on Anna Qiao's face immediately dissipated, and she asked with a relaxed smile, "My prophet Captain, which door shall we go through now?" ”

"Probably... Let's go this way..."

Raymond pursed his mouth, but he was also a little helpless in his heart: These guys, they really don't worry about me taking the wrong way to trap them...

He had to be a prophet again, leading the crowd forward.

Up, up, left, bottom, right, down.

After only walking six times, the "ghost group" did not encounter any danger, and when they walked out for the last time, they found that the surrounding situation had changed, and it was no longer the same cross chamber, but had already escaped from the "cross labyrinth".

"Oh my God! We actually came out? ”

"It can't be... Could it be that I was wrong? Isn't this 'Pandora's Endless Labyrinth' at all? ”

"No, this design is definitely one of those legendary endless labyrinths! We were able to walk safely because of the ... The prophetic abilities of the captain? ”

“...”

Although everyone in the "Ghost Regiment" firmly believes in Raymond, after all, the ability of the "Prophet" is not accurate every time.

They were even ready to meet the annihilation of the organ, but they didn't expect that they would come out so easily.

It's just the luck of the "chosen one", and it goes so smoothly that it makes people feel a little dreamy.

The most confused are the two mechanics, Colin and Nicole, the more they know, the more they know how dangerous the "Pandora's endless labyrinth" is.

"It's incredible... Are we really out? ”

For a long time, the shock on their faces did not dissipate.

Nicole looked at Raymond and asked curiously, "The minimum number of times the 'Pandora's Endless Labyrinth' theory of the 'Four-Way Gate' is solved is six times... Captain, how do you choose the right route every time? ”

Every time it's right, every time it's a theoretical shortcut.

Now Raymond's "prophetic" ability is confirmed.

After a moment of shock, Colin showed a natural expression and said, "I'll just say... The captain must have the power of a prophet! ”

This materialist top mechanic is the one who is most convinced of Raymond's "prophet" in the Ghost Regiment.

"The captain is mighty!"

Everyone smiled happily, and the atmosphere instantly became joyful.

"Hehe..."

Raymond laughed dryly twice, and didn't explain much.

At this time, he looked at the room at the heart of the labyrinth.

The room is not large, about sixty or seventy square meters, and the ceiling height is only three meters.

In the game, when he came, this place was also swept by the Wasteland players, leaving nothing of value behind.

But now...

In the same empty room, he saw a strange machine in the center!

It's a bit like a "nutrition pod" in science fiction, but its shape has a strong magical style. The exposed pipes connected to the machine are like blood vessels, red and blue, looking like arterial meridians, with a slightly bloody style.

"It's... Seems like a very advanced machine? ”

Colin felt that he would not be surprised even if he saw an "artifact" or something in this kind of place.

But you just saw a scientific machine with extraordinary precision?

This is a dwarven relic of an ancient mythological civilization... How could such an obtrusive thing appear?

No... In terms of shape and material, it is not too abrupt.

"The material of this pipe seems to be really the blood vessels of the ancient demonic beast in the eyes?"

"Huh... Detection has a biological reaction, and it is indeed a biological proto-organ also. ”

"This capsule too... Not a synthetic product, but the transparent shell of some kind of beetle ...

"Huh... It seems that this thing is missing a part, and there should be some other parts linked to it..."

"This instrument is enchanted with..."God-level runes'? Or is it a special rune that breaks away from the four god pattern systems? Oh my God, this is an 'artifact' in the truest sense of the word! ”

“...”

The two mechanics immediately gathered around, took out the instruments and began to test them.

Eventually, they came to a conclusion that they couldn't even believe.

It's a machine... It seems to be a "precision instrument" composed of organs of ancient creatures, and its function is unknown!

But from a technical point of view, this looks like a product of cutting-edge scientific and technological civilization, rather than a product of a mythical civilization!

Judging from the finished product, it has a "paleontological instrument" that can only be manufactured by mythological civilizations!

"Artifact?"

Raymond didn't expect them to encounter something so strange in this underground labyrinth.

The dwarven craftsmen designed this labyrinth to hide it?

"What are the ancient dwarves forging this thing forged?"

After thinking about it, he lost a "true eye" in the past.
