Chapter 484: Gong Jing
"It's easy to say." How can it be so easy to implement?
No. 1 looked gloomy and glanced at Song Qingxiao, who was playing with a petrified conch in her hand, which should have been picked up on the way to the stone house.
Unexpectedly, she didn't lose such a small thing, but put it in her pocket.
Beside the fire in the stone house, several men with bows whispered in the ears of the man at the head, as if to say something.
Their voices are low and their pronunciations are very strange, and the tip of their tongues trembles at high frequencies in their mouths to make a sound similar to a chirp as a way of communication.
So even if a few trialists could hear their voices clearly, they couldn't understand what they were saying.
No. 1 looked up, and through the tall and dilapidated eaves of the ancient building, he could faintly see the blue starry sky.
Tonight is full of stars, and there are no dark clouds covering the roof, so it can be seen that tomorrow will be a sunny day again.
The 'gate' connecting the two dimensional walls is the wind and waves that attract adventurers, and in such an environment, there is no rain, so how can there be strong winds and waves?
No. 1 was in a heavy mood, and Song Qing played with the snail stone he picked up from the dungeon, and he was also thinking about the only clue he had in this mission scene.
According to the bow-wielding man at the head, the city has been awakened by adventurers who have been searching for the lost city for generations, and has emerged from the bottom of the sea, where it has become a nightmare for those who think they are lucky.
So the goal of this mission is to eliminate the source of the 'curse' in this mission scene and finally escape from this 'cage', or to calm things down and return this lost city to the depths of the sea?
Either way, it wasn't easy for the trialists, and the difficulty of the mission was obviously much higher than the last time they escaped from the horror camp.
If you can't complete the task, I'm afraid everyone will be trapped in this scene!
Song Qing supported her thighs with her elbows and narrowed her eyes.
But based on her previous knowledge of God's trial rules, there may be more than one rule for such a game.
Assuming that one of the parties to the mission is on the run, then it is very likely that there is another party that needs to be stopped.
If she is desperate and finds herself unable to escape the lost city, she will eventually have a way out - kill several other trialists to prevent them from escaping.
She hid her killing intent under her smile and gently stroked the wolf's head.
"So what now?"
Several people were silent for a long time, and No. 1 turned his head to look in again before he whispered.
He looked at Song Qingxiao when he spoke, obviously this question was aimed at her.
Whether it's because her powerful Silver Wolf adds to her stacks, or because of her extraordinary calmness in analyzing tasks, Number One values her more than Number Two.
No. 2 squinted his eyes and smiled, as if he didn't care about this attitude of being ignored by No. 1, but with No. 1's question, he also turned his head to look at Song Qingxiao, showing a posture led by her, waiting for her to answer.
"What else can I do? Since they wanted to take us there, it just saved us a detour. ”
These people have something in common with the giant spider, and they may all be parasitized by the same kind of curse, forming a special state of 'symbiosis', and they should have something to do with the source of the 'curse'.
They tried both hard and soft to bring people back to the base camp, but it is conceivable that there is nothing kind to be safe.
Anyway, if the trialist has to do the task, it is better to follow the vine and touch the melon, saving everyone from taking the wrong road again.
"Didn't you notice?" Song Qing smiled and looked up, "Since following them on the road, we haven't encountered that kind of human-faced spider again." ”
Number One nodded, and after everyone made up their minds, they stopped talking about it.
When they stopped whispering, the bow-bearers in the room stopped their strange pronunciation.
The dungeon was so quiet that you could hear the wind blowing through the ancient city, and the starlight shone on the ruined city, casting a desolate blue, and the mottled marks on it seemed to tell the grandeur of the ancient city.
Although these cities have been buried in the sea for many years and have been eroded by time, you can still see the majesty of their heyday.
"The size of the buildings in these cities is much larger than that of ordinary houses."
Song Qing's little feet rubbed against the sand, and after rubbing the sand away, the whole instep was buried in it, and the sand didn't reach her ankles, but it still made her feel like she couldn't explore the end.
The surface of the sand outcrop of the house is at least five meters high, and with the burial section, it is estimated that the height of the house should be more than six meters.
If it were a few special buildings, all the buildings in this dungeon were about the same height.
And when you enter the stone house, the door frame and the structure of the house are extremely large, far more than half the size of the ordinary house.
The sad faces of No. 1 and No. 2 didn't expect her to change her words and mention the size of the Lost City, and couldn't help but be stunned, and before she could reply, there were footsteps behind her.
"Not bad." A male voice sounded, and the two turned their heads, and saw that the bow-wielding man at the head seemed to be fully awake, and walked over to the few people gathered at the door, and said with a smile:
"The size of the houses here is generally about twice the size of the houses we perceive."
After staying by the fire for a while, he seemed to be in a good mood, and he was willing to take the initiative to answer Song Qingxiao's question:
"We did some research after we came here, and we were lucky enough to collect some artifact residues, and after piecing them together, we confirmed that the dimensions were not the same as the things we used."
Speaking of this kind of problem, he seems to have forgotten all the previous unhappiness and the misfortune he encountered after entering here:
"An old friend of mine once speculated that judging from the size of the utensils used by these people on a daily basis, it is very likely that when the Lost City was not sunk into the sea, the 'people' who lived there were really like the legends, and not ordinary humans."
"Oh?" Song Qingxiao withdrew the hand rubbing the wolf with interest and held his chin, "How do you say this?" ”
She seemed to be really immersed in the identity of the character that Number One had made up for her, as if she was extremely curious and fascinated by such a thing.
"They should not belong to any of the races currently known to humans, and the average height is at least two meters or more......"
Before the man finished speaking, No. 2 seemed to be unable to suppress his curiosity:
"Two meters?" He chuckled, "Isn't that a giant anymore?" ”
may have talked about a topic that he was interested in, and the man at the head didn't mind his words being truncated by No. 2, but smiled:
"In our opinion, it would be right to say that they are giants." He continued, "They have had their own civilization and creed, they are tall and brave, and at that time they may have belonged to an invincible and terrible race. ”
One is not a scholar, and he is not very interested in this kind of fantasy legend.
He was overwhelmed by the heavy task, and he didn't have the heart to listen to this man's ancient story.
"Then why was such a terrible and invincible race exterminated, and there is not even a single word of record in future generations?"
Just as No. 1 was about to turn around and leave, he heard Song Qingxiao ask questions again.
The atmosphere of the gentle conversation was ruined at once, and the man who was still smiling before was like a June day, and his expression became gloomy as soon as he said it.
He stared at the girl who seemed to him to be raising the bar with him almost unabashedly, and said with a solemn expression:
"No matter how brave the race is, when the catastrophe comes, it will be helpless."
Song Qingxiao didn't seem to hear his gritted teeth, and then asked:
"What do you mean by the catastrophe of destruction?"
"What do you think it is?" The man asked coldly, Song Qingxiao didn't care about his attitude, and replied with a smile:
"It could be a curse," she paused for a moment, "or it could be a dangerous thing that the Lord God is going to imprison, you say?" ”
The moment she said this, the atmosphere instantly tensed, the man's pupils constricted, and this scene clearly fell into the eyes of Song Qingxiao and No. 2.
Even No. 1, who was about to turn around, caught the stagnation of his breath at this moment, as if he had been told the most fearful thing in his heart, and his heart forgot to stop beating.
After a second or two of silence, the man's heart pounded like a war drum, and the sound was so loud that everyone in the room could hear it clearly.
His face turned cold, and his eyes were gloomy:
"I don't know what you're talking about." He added, "They perished because of the earthquake, as I said!" ”
He spoke coldly, completely losing interest in talking:
"It's already late at night, and I have to hurry tomorrow, I hope you don't waste any more time." He said threateningly, his gaze stayed on No. 1 and No. 2 for a moment, and finally fell on Song Qingxiao, reached out to hook the quiver on the side of his waist, and commanded in a dark voice:
"Come in!"
Obviously, Song Qingxiao's questioning poked at his soft spot several times, which made him unbearable, and he was not ready to maintain that gentle mask anymore.
Several of the other bow-bearers in the room raised their bows and looked at the trialists with diskind looks.
Number Four sat by the fire and sneered, the light of the fire turning his face red, and the hideous scars ruined his countenance, making him look horrible.
Approaching the flames and disgusted with Song Qingxiao, he did not participate in the previous conversation, and only the number one of his alliance came to communicate.
At this time, seeing that Song Qing was angry with these bow-wielding people, he smiled a little gloatingly:
"A sharp-toothed girl."
Song Qingxiao was pointed at by more than a dozen arrows that were pulled apart, calmed the irascible silver wolf, and slowly returned to the stone house, as if he hadn't heard No. 4's ridicule.
No. 2 also came in, chose a corner near her and sat down, and the voice sent her to ask:
"Do you really think they have anything to do with those human-faced spiders?"
No. 2 was affected by her words at first, and there were some speculations about the suspicions he discovered.
However, the leader of the man does not look like a monster, he shows all kinds of human substances, he is not afraid of fire, eats normal food, and even the heartbeat and breathing sound are no different from ordinary humans, except for the human-faced spiders with a human-like face and limbs that are quite similar to fingers, and the two feel that there is nothing in common between the two.
All of this caused Number Two to begin to waver.
It's about his own life, especially since the mission hasn't started yet, which makes No. 2 even more uneasy, and he is afraid that something will go wrong.
