Chapter 1467: Slipping through the back door

Everyone hurriedly rushed into the entrance under the pedestal of the statue, and saw that there was a circular downward staircase inside.

Zhao Hu cautiously walked in the forefront, walked out of the passage three times and took a look, and was stunned to find that they had come to the lower level of the gimbal.

This floor is also a bluestone paved carved beam, but there is an extra circle of supporting columns.

In the center of the platform, there is a circular stone platform with a diameter of about half a meter, and a piece of white jade is inlaid in the middle of the stone platform, shining with a shining treasure light, and it is difficult not to attract people's attention.

Everyone glanced at each other, cautiously approached the past, gathered in front of the stone platform, and carefully looked at the basin-sized treasure jade.

I saw that this piece of jade was embedded with gold and silver lines, outlining a mysterious pattern.

Zhao Hu looked at it carefully for a long time, and always felt that the lines on this treasure jade were like electronic circuits and magic runes, as if they were both.

"Old Chen, this piece of jade ......?"

"Don't ask me, I've never seen anything like this."

"This thing must be a treasure left behind by the Mogu Clan, maybe it is the one that the Celestial Lord asked us to find that represents power."

Lao Chen frowned for a long time, and directly shook his head and denied: "This thing is definitely not the 'power' we are looking for." ”

"Old Chen, how can you be sure it's not?" Zhuang Bo asked rhetorically.

"Feel!" Old Chen said in a deep voice: "Lord Snow Fury once said that he would understand when he saw the 'power', and it is obvious that this thing is not. ”

The crowd was speechless.

Zhao Hu thought for a while and guessed: "Even if it's not, it must be related to the treasure house, maybe this thing is the 'key' to open the door of the treasure house." ”

"It's very likely." Lao Chen nodded slightly and said, "Then do you know how to fiddle with this thing?" ”

Zhao Hu spread his hands and said, "That's what I said, I don't know how to fiddle with it." ”

Just when everyone was at a loss, suddenly there was a violent wave of magic above their heads.

"It's the trolls!" Everyone immediately drew their blades.

"Don't panic yet!" Zhao Hu stopped: "Let's hide first and see how those trolls open the door to this treasure house." ”

Lao Wang asked, "This place is in full view, where can we hide?" ”

Zhao Hu pointed to the railing, and everyone looked back and swallowed their saliva......

A moment later, several trolls cautiously walked out of the circular passage with their blades in hand, and at a glance they saw the treasure jade on the stone platform.

"Found it! Sure enough, it's here! Go back and inform Lord Soul Binder! ”

"Yes." A troll spun away.

"The others spread out their guards and searched for those panda people hiding there!" The other trolls cautiously scattered around looking for the pandamen, but there was not a single ghost.

A troll came to the railing and looked down, and was immediately frightened by the terrifying height, and quickly shrank back.

"Did you spot those panda people?"

"Nope."

"Not here."

"It's strange, the footprints of those panda people obviously go down to the lower level, why is there no one?"

"Captain, could it be that those panda people entered the treasure house before us?"

"It's possible, you stay here to protect this Titan Compass, and I'll go back to Lord Soul Binder."

Under the gimbal, Lao Chen and the others were tightly attached to the cliff wall with ropes in tandem.

"It turns out that piece of jade is what kind of Titan compass?!" Zhao Hu was secretly surprised in his heart, and hurriedly summoned back the miniature scout hidden in the shadows, so as not to be detected by the spirit binder later.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew through, blowing away the dense fog around them.

It was better to have fog to block it before, but now I intuitively feel the height of the cliff, which immediately makes the few people who stick to the cliff wall numb and weak hands and feet.

"Hurry up!" Lao Chen's voice also trembled slightly.

"Uncle Chen! Uncle Chen! Lili, who was lying on Lao Chen's back, suddenly opened her mouth and moved.

"Lili, don't make trouble!" Lao Chen immediately shouted in a low voice: "Now is not the time to play, if you are afraid, close your eyes!" ”

"No, look down there!" Lili pointed down and reminded.

"What's down there?" Everyone looked down, but there was nothing but the dizzying cliff.

"There! There! Lili pointed to a raised cliff and said sharply, "There seems to be a cave under that raised rock!" ”

"Where?" The crowd looked around, but they couldn't see anything.

"I'll go down and have a look." Zhao Hu took the initiative to ask Ying to climb down cautiously, and when he climbed down more than ten meters, he immediately exclaimed: "Old Chen, come down, there is really a cave down here!" ”

At this time, everyone was immediately overjoyed and climbed down cautiously.

Zhao Hu was the first to climb into the cave, and then quickly tied the rope and took everyone in one by one.

Finally there was a place to stay, and everyone sat on the ground panting.

"Thankfully, Lili found this cave, otherwise we wouldn't know how long the cold wind would have been blowing on the cliff wall."

"Humph!" The little girl is almost with her nose turned to the sky, with an expression of you coming to praise me.

Lao Chen patted the girl's little head with a smile and praised: "Good performance." ”

"Oh, Uncle Chen, don't shoot other people's heads, they are no longer children." Lili slapped away Lao Chen's big paw with an unhappy face.

At this moment, a cold wind blew out from the depths of the cave, making everyone shiver.

"Huh? Is there another way out of this hole? Lao Chen immediately got up and went to the cave, and the others hurriedly got up and followed.

The group circled dozens of meters in the cave, and there was really a bright light in front of them, and everyone immediately quickened their pace, came to the entrance of the cave and took a look, and immediately they all gasped!

The exit at the other end of the cave is still on top of a cliff, but it is facing a floating platform. There are covered bridges on both sides of the gimbal, and the plank road is connected to a gorgeous attic embedded in the cliff wall, and the overall building truss is like a heavenly palace in the mid-air of floating clouds.

Everyone crowded at the entrance of the cave, all looking at each other.

"Old Chen, how many Yuntai attics has this Demon Gu Clan built on this mountain?" Zhao Hu exclaimed.

Lao Chen shook his head and sighed: "I don't need to know this, but this may be our only way to survive." Can Zhuangbo shoot the rope through? ”

Zhuang Bo estimated the distance and said in a deep voice: "The distance is a bit far, but it should be fine if you calculate the wind direction." ”

"Then prepare." Lao Chen untied the rope on his body.

Zhuang Bo, on the other hand, unloaded the bow and wrapped the rope around the crossbow at one end. The group stepped back to give him the place to shoot, and saw him raise his bow and wait for a moment before pulling the trigger.

The bowstring snapped, and the arrow immediately roared away with a long rope, but it bounced off the edge of the gimbal with a bang.

"It's almost strong, do it again!" Zhuang Bo rewound up, and the others quickly pulled the rope back and coiled it.

Soon the second arrow was fired again, and this time Zhuang Bo successfully shot the crossbow arrow to the gimbal, but it failed to hook and fell.

"Can you put a barb on the arrow?" Zhao Hu proposed.

Zhuang Bo nodded slightly: "You can give it a try, but this will increase the weight of the crossbow arrow." ”

Zhao Hu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "I can control the scout to fly to the gimbal with a crossbow bolt, you just need to get the hook out." ”

"Great idea!" Zhuang Bo's eyes lit up, and he immediately bent the entire fine iron crossbow into a round hook with all his strength, and asked, "Is this okay?" ”

Zhao Hu was embarrassed for a moment, and still said with some unease: "Get a few more, so as not to cause decoupling due to too heavy weight." ”

Without saying a word, Zhuang Bo took out five fine iron crossbow arrows and bent them one by one, and then tied them firmly together with ropes.

Next, I watched Zhao Hu's performance, and I saw that he released more than a dozen miniature scouts in one breath, and together they lifted the heavy hook and flew slowly towards the opposite gimbal.

But the wind in the sky did not stop, blowing the claw hook up and down, which also made everyone fearful. Fortunately, the claw hook finally arrived safely at the gimbal with the concerted efforts of more than a dozen miniature scouts, which also made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Lao Chen stepped forward and tugged on the rope to make sure it wouldn't loosen, and asked, "Who will come first?" ”

Zhao Hu stepped forward and said: "I'm the lightest, why don't you let me carry Lili over first?" ”

"I don't want you to carry it!" Lili snorted.

Lao Chen straightened his face and said solemnly: "Lili is not the time to be petty!" ”

Lili pouted, so she had to reluctantly agree to agree to Zhao Hu carrying her.

When everything was ready, Zhao Hu tied Lili firmly to his back, then took a hook and buckled it to the rope, said hello to Lao Chen and the others, and swung out.

For a while, my ears were full of howling winds, and in front of me were layers of clouds and mist, as if I was traveling in the nine skies.

Lili hugged Zhao Hu firmly, closed her eyes and nervously wanted to scream, but she was first poured a mouthful of cold wind and choked and coughed.

After a while, Lili felt that the rope tied to her body was loosened, and then she heard Zhao Hu chuckle and said, "Little girl, we have arrived, you still don't come down?" ”

Lili cautiously opened her eyes, confirmed that she could really be down-to-earth, and immediately jumped off Zhao Hu's back, and snorted: "Hmph, I didn't open my eyes because I was afraid, I just didn't want to scare you." ”

Zhao Hu shook his head and smiled, not arguing with the bear child, turned around and walked to the hook to tie the rope again, and then made a safe gesture to Lao Chen and the others in the cave.

Immediately, Lao Chen and the others flew over one by one.

"Phew, my old Chen has lived most of his life and has not experienced the excitement of today!" Lao Chen wiped the sweat on his forehead and sighed with a smile.

Everyone was already tired, so naturally they were not in the mood to talk.

Zhao Hu circled around the floating gimbal, walked back and said, "Old Chen, I just turned around and found that the attics connected to both sides of this gimbal are sealed, should we go over there?" ”

Lao Chen got up and looked at the two attics embedded in the cliff, one left and one right, one high and one low, and immediately selected the attic on the right half a body lower, and said: "Go to the right, this attic is on the lower side, maybe there is a secret passage down the mountain." ”

Even if there is no secret passage, everyone can only take one step at a time, after all, there is no other way to choose if they are stuck on this cliff.

Everyone along the covered bridge plank road to the attic on the right side, the attic in front of them is also carved beams and paintings, inlaid with gold and inlaid treasures, extremely luxurious, even after thousands of years of baptism, there is still no trace of rust.

Everyone looked at the gate full of treasures and found that the door, which was nearly three feet high, had been changed to another style, although there were also relief frescoes, but in the middle of the gate was a metal compass, and the compass was inlaid with a circle of green gems.

"No matter how obvious this compass is, it should be the key to opening this door!" Zhao Hu said a nonsense with a determined face.

Lao Chen asked, "Then do you know how to open it?" ”

"I don't know." Zhao Hu spread his hands and said, "Maybe turn a few times to try?" ”

"Don't !!" Everyone stopped in unison, for fear that this guy would accidentally touch some mechanism and summon a few statues of the Demon Gu Clan to guard, and then they really had nowhere to escape.

"So we're going to do that and wait for the door to open on its own?" Zhao Hu pointed to the door and said speechlessly.

Suddenly, Lao Chen and the others all stared at the door with stunned expressions......

Zhao Hu's heart jumped, and he hurriedly looked back, and saw that a circle of green gems set on the compass was actually glowing, and it seemed to be cracking some kind of mysterious code.

"What the hell is going on here?"

"We still want to ask you!"

"Could it be that this door is automatically opened by voice recognition?"

"Don't guess, get out of here!"

Everyone hurriedly ran back to the gimbal, but were surprised to find that the gate on the left was also glowing.

"It's over, could it be that the guards in this Demon Ancient Clan's treasure house have discovered us and are going to open the door and come out to encircle us, right?"

"Shut up and get ready to fight!"

"Fight these monsters!"

Everyone drew out all kinds of blades, and they looked at death as if they were at home.

A moment later, I saw that the two gates flashed at the same time, and then they opened automatically with a bang......

There was silence, except for the noisy wind and the nervous gasps of everyone.

"Lao Chen, where's the monster?"

"How do I know?"

"Then how did this door open on its own?"

"I'm asking the hell!" Lao Chen scratched his head frantically, and instructed Zhao Hu: "Xiaohu, let your scouts go in and take a look?" ”

"Good!" Zhao Hu responded, and immediately controlled the two scouts and cautiously flew into the two gates on the left and right to find out.

There was a dark silence inside both gates, but there were surprisingly no traps.

The scout that entered the right side soon came to a palatial hall, and Zhao Hu temporarily let it stand by. Because the scouts that flew into the gate on the left noticed some movement.

Following the sound movement, Zhao Hu controlled the scout and flew forward as close to the dark corner of the roof as possible, and soon came to a large hall.

At this time, the movement became more and more obvious, and it sounded like two groups of people were fighting.

The scout turned a corner and immediately saw a group of trolls fighting with a group of Quiren guards!

"It's a troll! I understand! Zhao Hu exclaimed, "This door should have been opened by the troll using the Titan compass above!" ”

Lao Chen said in a deep voice: "These trolls really have the same purpose as us, it seems that this treasure house of the Demon Gu Clan really hides some big secrets!" ”

"Old Chen, it looks like these guards can't resist for long! Let's get out of here! ”
