Chapter 87: Ladies First
ยท
Yuan Huang stood a few meters away from the bridge, wondering what to do now.
Behind him, Miao Se glanced at Di Zhixue incomprehensibly, who nodded immediately. When the time came, carrying several metal staffs and metal prosthetic legs, he pushed Yuan Huang down from behind and burned to death and sank to the bottom of the water.
Yesterday, the temple snake found some wall inscriptions here, proving that the original function of this moat-like hot spring was to kill people, close to the temperature of boiling water and bottomless. Although it has weakened after a long time, drowning the source phoenix is not a problem.
Di Zhixue confirmed that Hongyang Minbo, who was acting as a guard, was looking away, so he tiptoed to approach Yuanhuang from behind.
Suddenly, there is a force under your feet!
Push your hands to the source phoenix!
He was the heaviest person in the room, and he was completely capable of knocking Genhuang off the hot spring.
Hold your heavy metal treasures and bury them underwater! Ha ha!
Di Zhixue was very happy, and he saw his hands.
Suddenly, Yuan Huang squatted down.
Di Zhixue pounced in the air.
Tripped.
"it!" Di Zhixue rushed too violently, kicked the squatting Yuanhuang, and the whole person flew out horizontally, heading straight to the hot spring!
Suddenly, when Yuan Huang looked up, he only saw a familiar short man who was using himself as a siege stone.
"Danger!" Falling into the extremely hot water is not fun, Yuan Huang immediately reached out and grabbed Di Zhixue's ankle!
It is then dragged to the edge.
The other party's body was very heavy and full of momentum, Yuan Huang couldn't completely hold it, but was dragged to the ground, half of his body leaned out of the shore, and grabbed Di Zhixue's ankle who was hanging upside down.
Seeing this, everyone also pounced, grabbed the source phoenix who was about to fall, and pulled the two of them up together.
There is no danger.
At that time, Yuan Huang was very worried that he actually didn't have gold mana, how could he pass the test of the magic organ. Standing stupidly all the time will be suspected, helplessly squatting down and pretending to tie his shoelaces and then thinking about it in the long run. This squat can make Di Zhixue bitter.
Everyone gasped and stayed on the shore, staring at each other speechless.
Yuan Huang scratched his head and asked, "What are you doing?" Why did it fly out all of a sudden? โ
"I ...... I like hot springs so much, my joints are not good when I am old......" Di Zhixue's face darkened when he heard it, and he would not believe the excuse when he moved out.
But Yuan Huang believed it. He thought in his heart that the other party was stupid, so stupid that he didn't know that this hot spring would burn people to death.
Why it doesn't matter, the key is that everyone is now standing between a pair of magic traps, among which are Hongyang Minbo and Xun Rin, two guys who have not learned the golden mana, but the bridge does not continue to collapse.
As long as there is a gold caster among the people being tested, all members can pass safely. In fact, if you only think about it, you will understand what will happen to the large number of ordinary workers, stonemasons, and other personnel if only the gold casters are allowed to enter the underground altar. It makes more sense to be able to enter under the guidance of a gold caster.
Temple snake thinks too much.
The mechanism of this stone bridge was only designed to avoid a large-scale alien siege, mainly to quickly dismantle the bridge, and scalding the enemy to death with high heat was secondary.
Hongyang Minbo jumped over the broken bridge with Yuanhuang in his arms and walked to the huge door.
There are two members of the Temple Snake who are trying to pick the lock, and it seems that they have been working on it for a long time. After inquiry, I found out that they had been stumbling with this damn door since the day today, and so far they have not succeeded.
"How much longer?"
"It's coming, Commander...... It's almost there. โ
Since the afternoon, I have said "soon", and now it seems that there is still a long way to go before the door is opened.
In the center of the door is a huge metal disc made of twelve rings, more than three meters in diameter. Judging from the above lines, it should be a rotating puzzle, and it is necessary to turn all the ancient characters between the rings to match. The additional mana is still abundant, and it is a very complex magic lock. Only half lifted.
In addition to this, there are three waist-thick crosspost deadbolts, two of which have been pried open.
The two members of the Temple Serpent who were in charge of opening the door, one of them were thieves and the other was an enchantment mage, and they had worked very hard. However, the ancient civilizations of the Starfall Continent were all elemental magic, with the gold system being the most prosperous, and the current magical civilization was born after the demise of the "Hundred Years of Prosperity". Both ancient texts and magical principles are far apart, and it is very difficult to decipher.
Yuan Huang asked, "Are we just waiting stupidly?" โ
"Why don't you pick the lock?" Miao Se snorted unhappily, "Let's talk about it first, this gate is a cultural heritage and cannot be destroyed." Archaeology is a time-consuming job, and it is not a tomb robbery, smashing the wall all the way in. โ
Forehead.
Yuan Huang really wanted to shoot at the gate and try it.
He wondered, thousands of years ago, when everyone passed through here, they had to fiddle with the magic lock for half a day. If the guards outside the door are in a hurry to enter the door and, won't they be suffocated?
โฆโฆ It doesn't seem to make sense.
He walked around the gate and found a small round hole the size of a palm, very shallow.
"Hey, what's this?"
"It's probably also a kind of mechanism, the kind that opens with the right gems."
Isn't that a secret door?
Yuan Huang touched his body, and the only thing that resembled a gem was an artifact fragment.
Stuff it in and try it.
Cluck-click...... A small door appeared on the stone wall next to it.
Retrieve artifact shards.
Yuan Huang saluted elegantly: "Ladies first." "Then let the better Hongyang Minbo go in first, in other words, step on the trap. Then he followed.
โฆโฆ Untidy.
A few people in the temple snake froze in front of the gate stupidly, and still maintained the posture of trying to unlock the lock, quite a bleak feeling of "it has been in vain for so long".
"No, it's okay, keep unlocking." "Sooner or later, the gate needs to be opened, otherwise how can the treasures inside be transported out." We are not working in vain. "Sounds unconfident.
Yuan Huang and Hongyang Minbo walked into the secret door, and what greeted them was a solemn passage. There were several small doors on either side of the way, several openings, and most of them were the same inside - a large number of metal golems neatly arranged.
Wipe the thick layer of dust on it.
It is completely different from the inside of the spaceship, there is no precise mechanical structure, just a heavy humanoid metal block, and the mouth, nose, eyes, and hands are made of lifelike fingers. All burly men, all bald, sitting on a metal platform.
Let it stand.
"Guards?"
"It's a bit similar to the current mainstream puppet warriors of the Jin Clan."
Hongyang Minbo replied. To this day, the Elemental Continent is still at war among the various races, and she has seen the puppets of the Jin Clan.
Yuan Huang touched his chin and pondered. Obviously they are all metal puppets, and there is no resemblance between them here and those inside the spaceship. That's right, after all, one is magic and the other is science, and the principles of manufacturing are different. The former is close to the bronze statue, while the latter is extremely complex and seems to be made up of many small pieces.
"You say...... Will this thing suddenly get up? โ
"Lack of mana." Hongyang Minbo took a closer look at the metal golems, "They are all in good condition, but they don't have mana to activate. After all, thousands of years. โ
Even so, Yuan Huang was still a little uneasy. Hurriedly left here.
Walk out of the passage full of guards, and you will see the entrance to the labyrinth. It is wide enough for four people to walk side by side, more than five meters from the roof, and the walls are carved with heavy metal plates carved in relief.
Yuanhuang probe looked at it, it was similar to a huge hollow-shaped structure, it was not a complex labyrinth, at least it was not built to make people get lost.
It is said that the structure of the labyrinth is too simple, it can neither store nor gather people, and it is built in the position of a door, what is it for?
"My lord, maybe there are traps."
Yuan Huang didn't think so, and strode over. Hongyang Minbo couldn't be dissuaded, so he followed.
โฆโฆ Nothing happened.
Although it was a bit of a detour, it finally passed safely.
Yuan Huang scratched his head and couldn't figure it out...... This won't be a cloister built by rich people in the courtyard, I'll ......
He looked back, "Huh? It's so grinding, what about the temple snake gang? โ
Suddenly, a mournful sound came from the direction of the entrance.
