The Great Knife advised me to cut off the beast's head and dig up the ruby.

I didn't hesitate to reject its suggestion: "Dirt, have we experienced less along the way since we went down the graveyard?" Now you're encouraging me to cut off the head of the beast and get the gem, isn't it too much trouble? ”

The big knife expressed disdain for my worries, it felt that I was too worried, even if this beast head could cause trouble, it would not be a big trouble, at most the opening mechanism of the stone door in front of me was invalidated, anyway, it had its own killing intent, how could a stone door block the way?

Even if the inside of this stone door is poured with pure gold, it will not be too much to slash twice.

Despite all the bewitchment of the Great Taidao, I decided to stick to my opinion and walk around the stone gate, fumbling for the switch to open the stone gate.

However, after searching the entire tomb, I didn't find a single mechanism that could trigger the stone gate, but I activated three other hidden traps and harvested dozens of Mithril steel needles.

I leaned back against the coffin, and with a sad face wondered where there was no corner that had not been explored.

Da Taidao prompted: "Could it be that the opening mechanism of the stone door is not in this tomb, but on the inside of the stone door?" ”

This made me suddenly enlightened, not to mention, there is really such a possibility!

In order to prevent craftsmen from returning to the main burial chamber and destroying the coffin and body of the tomb owner in retaliation, the mechanism that opens the door to the tomb is sealed inside the door.

On the other side of the stone gate, there must have been attendants who were absolutely loyal to the owner of the tomb, who closed the stone door in the main burial chamber and sacrificed their lives to defend the coffin and remains of the tomb owner.

Dataidao also agreed with my conjecture, and it believed that since there was no way to open the door, it was better to choose the most direct and effective means to break in.

I agreed to Dataidao's suggestion and planned to launch a destructive operation against Shimen, but was stopped by Dataidao halfway, saying, "Anyway, we have to destroy Shimen, so it is better to cut off the beast's head first and take the ruby." ”

I said in my heart that you are really persistent enough, and you haven't even given up this idea!

I couldn't resist the chatter of the big knife, I condensed my killing intent, raised my hand and cut off the beast's head.

At the same time as the beast's head fell, a muffled sound sounded on the other side of the gate at the same time, like the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Da Taidao's tone suddenly became relaxed, and he said, "Okay, you can open the door." ”

With doubts, I destroyed the stone gate.

After the stone door broke, I chose to sit down and rest away from the hole.

One is to restore strength, the other is to observe the situation, and the third is to avoid the poisonous and turbid gases that have accumulated in the tomb for many years.

The burial chamber behind the stone wall was the same as the one I was in now, and as soon as oxygen entered, it was lit up with fire, illuminating the dark burial chamber.

After ten minutes of smelling, I slowly got up, stepped through the hole, and went into the tomb to see what was going on.

Before I could see the full extent of the tomb, I was startled by a huge stone statue in front of the hole.

This stone statue is also realistic, and if its limbs didn't crack, I must have thought it was a living thing.

The huge stone statue was lying down, but even if it fell to the ground, its body was already more than a meter wide and more than five meters long.

Huge body, strong limbs, sharp claws, but no head can be found...... Could it be that its head was the same stone beast head that I had cut off before I entered the door?

"That's right," Da Taidao said, "The beast skull you are holding in your hand is the head of this giant beast." ”

I was heartbroken, "Didn't I destroy a valuable stone statue?" ”

"Heh" Da Taidao chuckled: "If you don't destroy it, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for you to enter this tomb." ”

"A mere stone statue can stop me from moving forward?" I didn't believe it, "Do you think it's alive?" ”

"Don't believe it, it's really alive" Da Taidao said: "When I looked at the beast head, I felt that it had unusual magic fluctuations, this kind of magic fluctuations I encountered when I first came to this world, the effect is to make stone statues and other dead things act like living things, and the dead things governed by this magic fluctuation are not weak, if you just rush in, you will definitely suffer a big loss, but I want to tell you that this stone statue is a living thing, you will definitely not believe it, so I deceived you by saying that its eyes can hallucinate, I wanted to take advantage of your fear of illusion to cut off this beast head, but I didn't think about it, you didn't eat this set, which made me very helpless, so I made this decision, and forced you to obey in the way of nagging you, but fortunately you were obedient. ”

Da Taidao's explanation is very mysterious, so I naturally don't want to believe it.

Seeing that I didn't believe it, Da Taidao said again: "That's good, you put the beast's head close to its broken neck, but remember, don't fit it, otherwise it will live again." ”

I still didn't believe in the words of the Great Taidao, but it was always possible to give it a try, so with the idea of trying, I put the head of the beast close to the broken neck of the stone statue.

Just when the two were still about a centimeter apart, the body of the stone beast suddenly shook, and then it waved its limbs like crazy, rubbing forward vigorously, trying to connect the broken neck with the head.

This sudden turn of events frightened me, and I raised my hand and threw the beast's head out.

The beast's head fell heavily to the ground, and some of the extremely delicate-looking beard hair was broken and shattered, and even a sharp tooth was thrown off.

Da Taidao said with a smile: "Now I know that I didn't lie to you, fortunately, you lost it quickly, and lost it far, if you let the two merge again, you kid will wait to be abused." ”

I was frightened, and I didn't care whether what the big sword said was true or not, but I didn't dare to put the beast's head close to the monster again.

Da Taidao said: "Actually, you don't need to be so nervous, as long as you gouge out a pair of ruby eyes, this magic will be invalid." ”

Without hesitation, I aimed the tip of my knife at the beast's head and eyes, and with a fierce slash, dug out both rubies.

"That's right," Da Taidao said: "Okay, now you can rest assured, without the ruby, it is equivalent to losing the medium, even if the magic fluctuation is strong, it will not be able to activate this stone beast." ”

At the end, it added, "If you don't believe it, you can put the head back on the beast." ”

With a curious heart, I trembled and put the beast's head back on the severed neck.

The originally broken stone statue grew and recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in just over half a minute, the stone statue was restored to its lifelike state.

It's just that it lacks a pair of rubies that can be used as eyes, and it loses its previous prestige and becomes a blind beast.

And it's a stone-blind beast that doesn't move.

"I hope that no one will be troubled, and for the sake of beauty, take two rubies and make eyes and set them, it will be a tragedy."

Da Taidao said disdainfully: "Do you really think that the two rubies in your palm are big road goods?" They're enchanted materials that have been specially carved and enchanted with magic! ”
