Chapter 110: The Main Burial Chamber
Everyone stopped in this burial chamber for the time being to rest and regain their strength and magic.
After two battles in a row, everyone was a little tired, Michelle unscrewed the bottle of the magic potion and drank two bottles with a gurgling face, like a little grass that had been in nectar for a long time.
"Whew! It's alive! "After a lot of magic, drinking a few bottles of energy-replenishing drinks, it feels great, but I can't drink too much, and my stomach is swollen after drinking too much.
Shihua walked around the tomb at random, rummaging through the ancient funerary goods, originally thinking that there would be some treasures, but it turned out to be some mummification tools, blood-stained shrouds, pliers, etc., and many terrible things should have happened here, such as the burial of the living, digging up the internal organs and pouring mercury, and creating ghouls that are not human or ghost.
Bai Yan said: "Even if there is a treasure, it has already been stolen by the invading tomb robbers, so how can it be our turn?" β
"Well, that's right."
This ancient tomb has a history of thousands of years, during which many tomb robbers must have come in to take care of it, and they were basically cleaned, although the environment here is gloomy and dangerous, but for the sake of money, there are many people who are not afraid of death.
From Aweil's corpse, Bai Yan not only found Lukan's golden dragon claw, but also found a diary, which Bai Yan was quite surprised.
"I can't imagine that this guy still has the habit of writing a diary, what does he write?" Bai Yan asked Michelle to read it to him, he didn't understand the words of this planet, and it was no problem to communicate.
Through Michelle's translation, Avel's diary is simply incoherent, and he repeatedly mentions some mysterious power hidden in the depths of the cold mountain, an ancient hidden door, and a golden dragon claw, but the words are unknown, and everyone who is confused has to carry the dragon claw, with a stomach full of questions, and continue to move forward.
This ancient tomb is not ordinarily large, and everyone has been walking for a long time, constantly killing the ghouls who stood up from the tomb along the way, and looking for money among the burial goods by the way.
After walking for a long time, everyone was finally stumped by a thick iron door, and they couldn't push it still, but they looked at it carefully, and there were three rotating rings on it, which were engraved with various animal patterns, and there was a small disc on the door, leaving four small holes.
Look at this door, and then look at the dragon claw, Shihua's heart moved, inserted the golden dragon claw into the big disc, the four claws were just able to insert the small hole, tried to turn the dragon claw, the disc also rotated, but the door did not move, and the disc turned 30 degrees and stuck, just like the password of the safe is wrong, and the door cannot be opened.
This should be the ancient hidden language door mentioned in Aweil's diary, the thoughtful Avel must have gone through a thorough investigation since he heard the rumors of the treasure of the Hanluo Mountain Peak, and then did everything possible to get the dragon's claws, but he didn't know that there was a corpse change here, so that he killed the hands of the ghouls.
This dragon claw must be the key to opening this door, but why is it useless?
Suddenly remembering the scene when the iron gate was opened not long ago, everyone guessed something, and focused their eyes on the animal pattern carved by the three rings, and their hearts burst with joy.
"It seems that the patterns have to be arranged in the proper order to open this door with dragon claws, and there are three animals on each ring, so how should they be combined?"
Shihua has tried several combinations and still can't open the door.,Try all kinds of combinations without prompts at all.,So when will you try? Shihua fell into irritability.
At this time, Bai Yan reminded: "Look at the claw heart of the golden dragon claw. β
After being reminded by Bai Yan, Shihua suddenly found that there was also a pattern on the palm of the dragon's claw, and he was shocked, it turned out that the craftsman who cast the dragon's claw had already told future generations the secret words of opening this door, but he didn't see it.
"Why don't you say it if you find it early? Are you looking at my jokes? Shihua was speechless.
"Because you're a little cute when you study the mechanism carefully, I won't say anything." Bai Yan teased.
β..... A sucker. Shihua's face was slightly red, she was not used to being praised for being 'cute', and it was very different from this word, after all, she was no longer a little girl, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she heard Bai Yan say this.
Then, Shika shifted the pattern of the disc to correspond to the dragon claw pattern, and then inserted the dragon claw into the empty slot, and as Shihua gently turned the golden dragon claw, the heavy gate made a sound, which was the sound of the mechanism operating.
"It worked!"
Everyone was overjoyed, watching the gate retract from top to bottom to the ground, and a large cave appeared in front of them, and the cold wind blew in front of them.
Two streams of mountain spring water poured down from the top of the cave, hitting the rocks on the ground, merging into a stream on the ground, and in the unknown direction, there was a stone bridge leading to a high platform in the distance, and a swarthy sarcophagus was faintly seen on the high platform.
"It's spectacularβ"
Everyone was amazed, according to the scale of this place, almost all the peaks of the cold mountain were hollowed out, and they were now inside the mountain.
Bai Yan sighed with emotion: "This should be the main tomb, I don't know who the owner of the tomb is, I don't think it is a general and incompetent person, it should be a hegemon in ancient times, otherwise it is impossible to have such a large-scale tomb." β
Shihua was a little nervous: "The main tomb must be the most dangerous place, I hope the owner of the tomb will not come out to ask for his life." β
Bai Yan smiled: "Are you afraid?" β
"Come on, it's not funny at all, haven't we encountered any weird things along the way?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
I don't know how many years no one has been here, and the air is very fresh, which means that there is an exit nearby.
The sound of everyone's footsteps startled a group of bats, and they flew around noisily, and Michelle grabbed Shihua's cloak, feeling very frightened, always thinking that a monster would suddenly appear nearby.
"The deceased rest in peace, no offense."
Stepping on the long stone bridge, everyone came to the wide high platform, did not dare to open the coffin of the tomb owner, kept a distance, that thing better not to move, just enter the tomb owner's room, and open the coffin where it was sleeping? Isn't this death?
Attention was drawn to a wall on the high platform, which was carved out of a single mountain stone, with a dragon carved on the top, and it was hard to imagine how much labor and material resources the ancients would have spent to complete such a project.
"This stone wall is truly magnificent."
"What does the text say? It can't be a curse, right? β
"This may be a very old script, rub it down and take it back for Farenga to see, he should know what it is."
"Sorry, no pen and paper."
Bai Yan and Shihua studied the stone wall, but they didn't find anything strange about Michelle.
Michelle saw some strange symbols engraved on the wall, one of which was glowing blue, as if calling for her own approach, and she ghostly walked uncontrollably, these symbols, they were long or short, folded or apostrophe, circled or dotted, but they were neatly spaced, and the strokes were rounded and unusually clear.
What puzzled Michelle was that the blue light emitted by the symbol was getting brighter and brighter, and she was so dazzled that she had to close her eyes, and for no reason, she only felt trembling all over, as if she had been struck by a lightning spell, and something invisible in her head was spinning, and it was getting faster and faster, as if it was trying to evoke some memories hidden in Michelle's soul but never discovered, and this feeling became stronger and stronger, as if it was forcing her to say something.
Before she knew it, Michelle was already sweating profusely, and suddenly opened her eyes and spit out the pronunciation of this symbol: "Vos!" β
