Chapter 442: The Gate of Sacrifice, Another Tombstone
The Void Boundary
300 floors of the Pillar of the Underworld!
After some hard work, Chen Peng's team and the two demon bosses finally reached this level.
There were no infections on this level, and even the surrounding walls were gone, except for four large black pillars supporting the level, and in the center of the level, a large stone door stood there, with no stairs, nothing to climb, and no connection points between the levels except this door.
"Open Sesame~"
"Little White Rabbit, open the door~"
"Bai Xue, are you there~Come and eat apples~"
Tang Hao stood in front of the stone gate and shouted for a long time, during which he continued to attack, but unfortunately the stone gate was not opened, not moving at all, and not even a stone slag was dropped.
Chen Peng, Sarya, Nock, and Buck also made various attempts, but the stone gate still did not move, as if it was not a stone gate, but a stone wall, and it was not a road to the upper floor at all.
Hum ~ More than a dozen drones suddenly appeared, because Chen Peng had already gained control of part of the defense system, so the drone did not lose power again, but there was no place to drill, and finally in desperation, Chen Peng had to control the drone to fly outside the tower, wanting to see if there were windows on the upper floor.
The result is naturally no, except for the 300 floors, the entire pillar of the underworld is very well closed, including the top layer, there is no hole to drill at all.
The only good news is that everyone is not far from the top floor, according to the height calculation, the top floor should be about 500 floors, and there are 200 floors to reach, the problem is that they don't even know how to get to the next floor now.
Sariya suddenly spoke, "This door...... There's weirdness, it seems to be a kind of trigger-like magic gate"
"Trigger a magical door?"
Everyone looked at Saria, if there was anyone present who could unlock the secret of the stone gate, then Saria, the heir of the Void Ancestor, was the best choice.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Sariya nodded a little hesitantly and said, "Actually...... I'm not sure, it's been around for too long, and it's not recorded in the Book of Ethereal Spirits, so I can see some clues because of the words on it. ”
"This TM is text? I thought the ghost drew talismans," Tang Hao complained on the side.
Everyone nodded noncommittally, Tang Hao was right, they all thought that the ghost drew the symbol, there was a text like this, there was no repetition of the strokes, and all kinds of irregular lines were outlined extremely casually, if this was a text, how many people would use this kind of text......
Sariya shook her head slightly and said, "I know you don't believe it, but you must know that any haphazard outline of the line will appear more or less repetitive, like this situation without a single repetition, just to show the peculiarity of this kind of writing, recorded in the Book of Void Spirits, this kind of writing comes from a certain ancient demon race with superior intelligence, but it is extinct." ”
"A demon race with superior intelligence?" Everyone glanced at Buck.
Buck suddenly became angry: "Look at TM, what am I doing?" General Ben is a normal demon, with normal intelligence and normal everything! ”
"Oh"
Buck "......"
Since Sariya knew this kind of writing, there should be a way to open the stone door, but it will take time.
Next, Sariya began to parse these words, and at the same time used her own terminal to assist, the parsing speed is still quite fast, at least in Chen Peng's opinion, she should be able to read the words on the stone door soon.
Merely...... At first, the parsing speed was very fast, but I don't know what went wrong, Saria's parsing speed dropped suddenly, and there was a very tangled expression on her face, and everyone thought that it was a problem after reading it, and they didn't ask more.
And this wait is a day! Even the two demon bosses, Nock and Barker, couldn't bear it anymore and found two female death knights to play......
cough cough~ Chen Peng originally wanted to complain that the demon was not picky, but was stopped by Salia's glare.
When Nock and Buck left everyone's sight, Salia quietly beckoned to Chen Peng and the others.
"What? Is there something wrong? Too difficult to parse? ”
Until this time, everyone still thought that the text analysis was too difficult, only Chen Peng seemed to understand the meaning of Saliya because of the glance just now, and it should not be as simple as being unable to parse.
"Say, Saria, those two can't be heard now." Chen Peng said.
The red dots on the holographic map representing the two demon bosses have already left far away, and there are no magic or devices left nearby that can eavesdrop, Chen Peng is sure that it is safe.
At this time, Sariya suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally walked away, I didn't dare to breathe just now!" ”
"What do you mean?" Tang Hao said with a confused face.
Saria glanced at Tang Hao, "The demon can tell if the speaker is lying anytime and anywhere, so I didn't dare to speak at all just now"
Qin Lan suddenly said, "Have you made it possible to understand these words?" ”
Everyone was stunned and looked at Saria.
Saria shook her head and said, "I really didn't know at first, I didn't lie about this, otherwise I would have been seen by those two demons, and I also understood it after watching it for a while, and then I found out that there was a problem, so I quickly pretended to encounter difficulties and didn't squeak, and then I got over." ”
"What did you find?" Chen Peng's eyes narrowed slightly, and Sally was so cautious, indicating that those words said that the things described should be very troublesome.
"The name of this door...... The Gate of Sacrifice! ”
"Sacrifice?"
Everyone was shocked, in the pillar of the underworld...... No~ As long as you are in the dead world, it will definitely be no good to encounter the word sacrifice!
"Sacrifice what?" Chen Peng frowned, he seemed to have guessed something, and his intuition told him that he must be inseparable from the demon.
Sure enough, just as Chen Peng thought, Saria's next words proved his guess.
"Demons, everything of super S-level demons, life, body, soul, only by sacrificing these can you open this stone door and enter the world inside!"
Hiss......
Everything about super S-class demons? Isn't this the 'one or the other' between Nock and Buck!?
Chen Peng waved his hand to stop everyone's amazement, frowned, and said, "What does the world inside represent?" Is it the way into the 301st floor? ”
Saria shook her head slightly and said, "Not sure, because the world on the other side of this sacrificial door is determined by the builder, it can be a paradise, it can be a specific space, in short, it can be used as a portal, a portal that can go anywhere, as long as you know the spatial coordinates, but this portal is more troublesome to open, but it is extremely stable." ”
After a pause, Saria continued, "But I think that since it is built in this pillar of the underworld, and judging from its state, it should have been here from the beginning, it is not a conspiracy of the Wraith Skull, it should be the upper layer behind it, maybe it can directly reach the 500th floor!" ”
Chen Peng nodded thoughtfully, if he said that there was no problem with leading to the upper floor, but if it was like Salia said that it would be a bit ridiculous to go straight to the 500th floor, the wisdom of the resentful spirit skull is no worse than that of humans, it is impossible to leave such a big bug without fixing it, and the probability of leading to the 301st floor behind this door is as high as ninety percent.
But...... Why install a door like this in this particular number of layers? Don't talk about the trouble, such a large piece still occupies space, and there is a fight with the tombstone~
Wait a minute...... Tombstone!?
"it, the second tombstone?!" Chen Peng suddenly exclaimed, and everyone came over.
"This is a tombstone?" Tang Hao was the first to ask.
Chen Peng nodded slightly and said, "It's possible, there are a total of six tombstones, and we can only find one at present, and this should be the second one!" ”
After a pause, Chen Peng immediately looked at Salia and said, "Salia, take a look, there is no text on the other side of the stone gate, analyze it." ”
"Good!"
Saria didn't ink, and turned directly to the back of the stone door, which was facing away from the entrance to the 300th floor, and Saria didn't look closely, focusing on the front.
Of course, there are words behind the stone gate, and there are a lot, I didn't look carefully before, but now I look carefully and find that the back is not a stone door, because there is no gap, but it looks very similar to the tombstone.
"It's time to be!" Chen Peng said with some excitement.
From the moment he entered the Pillar of the Underworld to the present, he has not found the tombstone, he is about to give up, and he is even ready to complete the impossible task, but now it seems that he is still impatient enough, and he must come after all.
In fact, Salia has already understood the writing system of this civilization, and has the experience of deciphering the front, and it is much easier to decipher the text behind the analysis, and the two demons have not come back yet, and Salia has already deciphered it.
However, what left Sariya speechless was that although the text was deciphered, it was written without logic, and only the title was reasonable.
"I can't understand it, there is no logic, only the name of civilization is more normal - the demon of the earth"
"The Demon of the Earth's Evil?"
Everyone looked at Saria and waited for Sariya to explain, only Salia had this knowledge in the audience, after all, they had the Book of Ethereal Spirits by their side.
"Demon ...... of the Devil of Earth"
While chattering, Saria began to check the Book of Ethereal Spirits, and soon~ she found the information she wanted, and after a pause, read it out.
"The Demon of the Earth, one of the four major races of the Origin Demon, the transcendent race of Chile, and one of the most important races in the history of the underworld, Yu ...... Extinct before 10 epochs"
“…… Gone? ”
Chen Peng and the others looked confused, this description is too TM refined, right? I didn't even mention the extinction......
Tang Hao raised his hand at this time and said, "What's that...... How long is 10 epochs? ”
Saria compared Earth years and said, "Hmm...... It should be 1 billion years in Earth years~"
The crowd "O_O! ”
A billion years!
This span is a bit too TM, isn't it?!
Salia spread her hands and said, "It's because it's too long, so there is no information in my ancestor's book, and there is no logic in these words, I really can't figure out what to say."
Chen Peng nodded slightly and did not continue to ask, the reason why Salia can't read these words actually knows it, because this is a task item of the system task, if Salia cracks it at this time, then what about the task?
He must scrape together six tombstones and kill the Wraith's Skull to get the secret!
"So...... Let's talk about how to trap Buck, shall we? ”
"Okay~"
