383. The Barrier of the Thousand Gates
Passing through the deep and dark passages, although there was some trepidation along the way, the expected attacks never came.
After about half an hour of swimming, Morey felt that he must have entered the belly of the mountain, and then the front suddenly became clear.
A huge man-made cavern hall the size of ten temple squares and thousands of feet high appeared before Morey's eyes.
In addition to the wall of the passage behind him, the other three walls are densely covered with large and small entrances, some of them are the size of ordinary doors, some are like large open whale mouths, and the gates of the passage are also various, there are stone doors, wooden doors, metal, bone, and most importantly, there is a gate carved entirely from a huge ruby.
If it weren't for the fear of touching some mechanism, Morey would have thought to directly tear down the gate that was two feet high for himself.
When the [Obstacle of a Thousand Doors] appeared, Morey was not only annoyed, but full of joy.
Only when protecting valuables will you design a combination of magic and machinery such as the [Thousand Gate Barrier], so that unless you know the exact passage, if you choose a passage, you may be greeted at the end of the passage by a hungry dragon imprisoned or simply a river of lava gushing out.
This [Barrier of a Thousand Gates] will change the correct passage at fixed intervals, so unless you follow the team closely, if there is a slight delay, even if there is an inner ghost, you will not be able to find the exact path without the only [Identification Disk].
If Morey had come here when the ruins had just sunk, he would have had no choice but to sigh and retreat.
But now, tens of thousands of years have passed, the [Thousand Gates Barrier] has long ceased to function, and many magic organs have slowly aged and decayed under the erosion of the soaking time of seawater, and those terrifying magical beasts that were imprisoned have either escaped under the crisis of natural change, or have been imprisoned for 10,000 years and turned into a pile of dry bones.
So now all Morey has to do is try them one by one.
[Barrier of a Thousand Gates] is said to be a thousand gates, but that is just the minimum standard of this kind of complicated organ, just like the master here directly doubled the number for safety, two thousand six hundred and twenty-one doors, if it is just by the twenty or so people who probe one by one, it is impossible to find the correct passage without ten days and half a month, and this is still the result of the division of troops to investigate.
Morey naturally doesn't have so much time to waste at the moment, not to mention that the development of Red Leaf City is in full swing, and many things need to be dealt with by himself, just the news of the death of the high priest is transmitted back to the Ocean Temple, maybe someone wants to take Morey's head to exchange for the throne of the high priest!
Fortunately, Morey had a way, just a blink of an eye, the Black Pearl, which was still on the sea, was directly summoned by Morey to the hall here, and the ghosts, resurrected skeletons, skeleton warriors and skeleton spear-throwers each found a passage under the command of Morey and got in, and the number of them was already thousands, and it only took two times to help Morey get out of the correct passage.
......
"Your golem (resurrected skeleton) takes 50 crush damage."
"Resurrection Skeleton Death!"
"Your golem (Skeleton Spearthrower) takes 100 squeeze damage."
"Death to the Skeleton Spearman!"
“......”
In less than ten minutes, a large amount of information about the death and damage of the undead puppet began to swipe through the Blood Moon.
This made Morey have to sigh at the wisdom of the people of Gunetiriel, this trap has been tens of thousands of years and can still work, it is simply a model in the engineering world!
In just half a day, the undead puppets on the Black Pearl used a one-third loss rate for Morey to clear out two thousand six hundred and eighteen gates, leaving only three gates.
It's not that they don't want to go in, it's that they can't open at all.
A bronze metal gate like a broken dragon gate, if you can't find a mechanism to open it, you can't enter it unless Morey flattens the place.
A passage that still emits a faint magical light, the undead puppet is like encountering a tough bubble here, and it can't squeeze into it at all, if it is a little violent, it will directly bounce people away.
The last one is a bit evil.,As long as you enter the blink of an eye, you're teleported away.,And then directly disconnected from the Black Pearl.,I don't know if it's dead.,Or because it's too far away.。
Morey first ruled out the portal that is unprotected and will teleport people away as long as they enter the passage, a very simple truth, if this is the right passage, then there will be no harm to the people who enter, then the undead puppet will not disconnect the link, if this is the right passage, it will not teleport people far away, because then the base is built without meaning.
So the portal passage, PASS!
And the other two passages Morey had no choice but to come to them one by one to confirm.
First of all, there is the bubble-like passage, Morey stretched his hand forward and easily felt a tough bubble, the more he stretched forward, the more elastic it became, it felt like he was pushing a bowstring forward, the more difficult it was to go back, and if he slackened a little, he would be bounced away by the elastic force of the rebound.
Morey didn't dare to use any violent means to break down the door, if this was the only correct entrance, and he was destroyed by himself, where would he cry?
Morey looked around, and thanks to his powerful perception and blood moon-level observation and magnification ability, Morey quickly found the flaw.
There was a shallow palm print on the lower left and upper right of this circular passage, and if it weren't for the help of the Blood Moon, Morey really wouldn't know how to break it.
Under the palm print on the lower left is a press-type mechanism, which tests the brute strength of the opener, and presses down hard while crouching.
And the palm print on the upper right is of course the test of mana, and Morey has to quickly infuse mana into the blank mana crystal under this palm print, which is the most ordinary apprentice-level mana crystal, but the difficulty is by no means apprentice-level.
The mana crystal must be filled at the same time as the lower left palm print mechanism is pressed, emphasizing the instantaneous output and control of mana, because a bad mana output is too large, and the fragile mana crystal will crack directly, and if it is a slow input, it cannot be opened at the same time as the lower left mechanism.
In order to eliminate interference, Morey even deliberately released a [Water Repellent] to drain all the water in this area.
"Master, is it okay?"
Hyde, who was crouching on the ground, looked at Morey and asked.
Morey took a deep breath: "Let's start!" You count! ”
"Okay!"
“3!”
“2!”
“1!”
"Start!"
As soon as the words fell, Hyde's brute force had already pressed his right palm.
A square stone suddenly dented down about 2 inches, and Hyde let out a sigh of relief at the sight of the successful activation of the mechanism, and immediately looked up at Morey.
But he saw that the square under the palm of the other party's hand also lit up, and he was looking back at himself.
The two immediately looked at each other and smiled.
The passage trembled slightly, and the barrier that had blocked the progress suddenly disappeared without a trace.
