Chapter 43 The Secret Collection of the Underground Palace
That's a bit excessive, right?
I watched as the skeleton crawled rapidly across the wall, its scalp bursting with hairs.
But when I looked closer, I saw that there was a fluffy arm sticking out of the wall, dragging the skeleton to move.
What monsters?
Before I could take a closer look, my hairy arm swished, dragging the skeleton into the wall.
Because of the dim light of the fire, I noticed that there was a very thick and long crack in the wall, but it was a bit difficult for that arm to come through, and I thought it would be difficult to squeeze in.
I can't get in when I'm so thin, and I shouldn't be able to get through that hairy body.
After waiting in place for a while, the hairy arm did not appear again.
I breathed a sigh of relief and turned my attention back to the treasure.
When the whole person calmed down, he remembered a big, big problem......
How can I take so much gold and silver alone?
Can't take it at all.
Why don't you keep it and come back later?
How dare I come back, if nothing else, first of all, my long-haired sister will have to tear me up.
I had no choice but to take two random ingots of gold and stuff them into my baggage.
Two ingots of gold, worth at least a few thousand taels of silver, are enough for my expenses.
So far, all eight passages have been completed.
Don't forget the shadow wall behind the throne, though.
The so-called shadow wall, which is similar to the function of a screen, is used to block the line of sight, and is usually used in the place where you have just entered the door; Like this shadow wall, which is erected at the head of the main hall hall, also known as the light wall, there are usually passages on both sides of the wall that lead to the apse or courtyard.
If there is a way out of this dungeon, then it is most likely behind the shadow wall.
I ran back to the hall tremblingly, feeling like something was following me along the way.
Will that hairy arm monster pop out of nowhere?
Not really.
Returning to the hall of the temple safely, I approached the throne, and it was then that I noticed that on the side of the throne, there were two different skeletons.
A corpse with its back to the throne stone steps is in the form of a sitting.
A corpse was crucified to the wall of shadows by something.
Judging from the position of these two skeletons, I guess that it was this stumbling brother who crucified the guy on the shadow wall.
And they are different, not because of their wear or appearance.
In the entire underground palace, there are hundreds of corpses, but only these two ......
There are incense and candle offerings in front of you!
Of course, the incense and candle offerings are also very old, and only a few residues remain.
It is clear that after the tragedy, someone came to this place before, perhaps a relative or friend of the two skeleton brothers, or a survivor at the time.
For some reason, the visitor did not change everything at the scene, but just worshipped and left.
Weird, so weird.
But no matter how weird it is, it has nothing to do with me.
Leaving directly and taking a look around the shadow wall, I couldn't help but be happy.
Sure enough, there is still a passage.
But a few more steps forward, my heart sank again.
That passage was blocked by rocks!
Why am I so unlucky?
Weakly walking back to the hall, I sat on the throne with my ass and spread my hands and feet.
It's boring.
The stone door when I came in couldn't be opened, and the way out was blocked, so do I have to starve to death here, with these hundreds of skeletons?
Don't wow......
By the way, there is a glimmer of hope that the long-haired sister will realize that I am missing and will use her key to open the door to save me.
Thinking of this, I rushed to the stone gate.
But halfway through the run, the footsteps stopped.
No, wait for someone to come to the rescue, it's not my style.
Is there really no other way?
I closed my eyes, tapped my knuckles, and everything I had experienced in the dungeon flashed through my mind.
Stop.
Rewind.
Stop again.
I snapped my eyes open.
Pregnant!
I turned and ran to the third passage on the right side of the hall.
The storehouses connected by this passage stored many strange things, including several siege ballistae.
Of course, the ballista has long since fallen apart, and there is no hope at all.
I rummaged through them, and finally carefully dragged out two lumps of iron between the large piles of broken copper and iron.
There are actually quite a few more of the same things, but these two are the most intact.
These two things, if they're 'that kind of thing', are enough to help me make a way through the clogged passage.
Assuming it's not broken, of course.
Remove a few wheels from the ballista and make a simple trailer, load the iron lumps upwards, and crunch them towards the hall.
The first time I knew about this kind of iron pimple was in a book called "Fighting the Landlord": Iron pimple, whose real name is landmine, also known as ground fire mine, nicknamed bomb, was used to break barbarians hundreds of years ago, and its lethality is amazing.
With a lot of incense, I placed two mines next to the pile of rocks, twisted two leads, and made one.
I took a deep breath and pulled out the fire fold......
Click and run!
I'm not sure how powerful this mine is, and how far it goes.
Boom!
The earth shook and the mountains shook, and dust and smoke rose everywhere.
I was covered in the falling mud and my face was held for breath, and I waited a long time before I dared to open my eyes.
Fortunately, the cave was not blown up.
The power of these two mines is really beyond words, but it is not enough to successfully blow the passage open.
The result?
Worried, I walked all the way, and as I passed the Shadow Wall, I found that the two skeletons on the side of the throne had been blown away by the explosion.
Blow it up, but a piece of black rusty iron nailed to the shadow wall caught my eye.
This piece of black rusty iron was the murder weapon that nailed the skeleton brother, and I originally thought it was a sword or something, but now I look at it, it is actually a simple scabbard.
After a hundred years of erosion, other weapons have long been rotten to the point that they are not in shape, although this scabbard is also rusty, but only the surface is rusted, and with a flick of the hand, there is a sound.
It is also recorded in "Fighting the Landlord": There is a famous sword in the world called "Yitian", the sharpness of the sword is "Yitian", and the sword is not out of the sheath, and the blade can be broken......
Although this scabbard is bladeless, it can nail a man!
Is it because the martial arts of the person who shot it are too high, or is this scabbard the armor of the Excalibur, which is indestructible in itself?
Baby, baby.
I pulled out the scabbard and tried to put it in the baggage, only to find that it was full.
(It's finally filled, and this burden is really not simple.) )
There was no choice but to stick the scabbard diagonally into the belt.
Walk around the shadow wall and crane your neck to look.
Good!
The passage was littered with rubble, but it finally opened a hole for me to pass through.
Oh, I'm not dazzled, am I?
Rubbing his eyes, he was indeed right.
In the depths of the passage, a ray of sunlight can be seen shining from above, illuminating the steps leading up.
It turned out that it was already dawn.
It also says one thing - I can get out!
I happily wiped my nose, lifted my leg and left.
But the leg was only halfway raised, and there was a rumble in front of him, and the rocks were flying.
I was confused.
The passage has collapsed again!
