Chapter Seventy-Four: In and Out of the Place

Alan asked Harvey and Stanny to dig a few large pits in the rock mass with their own swords, and then embedded the flotation magic array removed from the spaceship, not only that, but even the magic array used by each of them was also installed, and after making sure that it was secure, Eren activated all the floating magic arrays.

"Squeak!"

A strange sound came from the place where the giant stone and the fulcrum touched, which showed that Allen's method was effective, and the boulder was moving, but this movement was very small, more like a release of pressure.

"It looks like the strength is not enough. ”

Elvis watched as the boulder just moved for a moment and then came to rest again, without any intention of lifting.

"Yes, but that's all for the Levitation Magic Array, and it's already at its limit. ”

Alan also felt a little helpless, it looked like they had to wait here for a few more days, and when the water level rose a little more, maybe they could succeed.

"Allen, can your Qi Elemental Golem Magic Array still work?"

Elvis asked.

"yes, how did I forget it. ”

Alan hurriedly took out the magic array disk, and the magic crystal on it still had half of the energy, which should be able to create another air element puppet.

Alan held the magic array disk in his hand, his expression was solemn, and his mouth was full of words, and soon a bloated Qi Elemental Puppet was summoned.

"Everyone, get ready, I won't have much time, and as soon as the boulder rises, we'll be ready to enter the back passage. ”

Bloom shouted loudly, knowing that the time might only be a moment, and it was definitely not to be missed.

"Alan, it's time to do it. ”

When everyone was in place, Bloom nodded to Alan.

Eren drove the air golem to fly underneath the striped boulder, and then he began to chant a magic spell with an intriguing expression, and the air golem flew upwards with the striped boulder on its back.

"Boom!"

A muffled sound echoed in the underground space, and after a violent vibration, the outward end of the boulder began to descend and the inward end began to rise slowly under the balance of the fulcrum. When one end of the boulder broke away from the rock it was holding, a passage appeared in front of everyone, and from the outside, it seemed that the inside of the passage was dark and I don't know how deep it was.

"Hurry up, get into the aisle. ”

Seeing that Allen's face was flushed and sweat was dripping from his forehead, Bloom knew that he was working very hard to maintain the balance of the boulder, and hurriedly urged everyone to act. Several people listened to his orders and acted immediately, Harvey carrying the box, and Stanny carrying Miranda, entered the passage one after another.

"That's right, the passage extends upwards. ”

Harvey was the first to enter the passage, he looked through the light of the illumination magic, and then turned to Bloom and Alan outside and shouted to prove that Allen's speculation was completely correct.

"Alan, be careful, we'll go in first. ”

Bloom and Elvis were the last to enter the passage, and when they entered, Eren changed the spell, and the golem emerged from under the stone, flew towards the nearest levitation magic circle, and quickly took the magic circle in his hands, and then flew to another magic circle.

The bar boulder, which had lost the support of the air golem and the levitation magic array, stopped its upward momentum at one end, and turned around and reinserted it into the entrance of the passage.

"Boom!"

The bar boulder fell back again, although the speed of the fall was not fast, but because of the huge weight, the entire mountain shook violently, Alan rushed into the passage at the last moment under the protection of the air golem, the air golem was touched a little by the falling boulder, and the huge momentum immediately made the air golem collapse, throwing Alan and several levitation magic arrays into the passage.

"Be careful, it's all water. ”

Bloom and Fresnel stepped forward to lift Alan up from the water, relieving to see that Alan was safe.

"Well, now that we've completely cut off the way back, we can only keep going. ”

Alan patted the water trail on his body and said with a wry smile, they had absolutely no way to open the stone from inside the passage.

"As the water rises, the boulder should be raised again, right?"

Elvis asked, puzzled.

"It's impossible, when the boulder was lifted just now, most of the water in the pool had already flowed out, and if you want to open it again, it will probably have to wait until next year's snowfall. ”

"Damn, I finally understand why the brothers who used to send tribute have gone and never returned, and here's why, this mechanism is a one-time thing. ”

Bloom said angrily as he slammed his fist into the stone wall next to the passage.

"That's right, the key to going and not returning should be here, unless the people who come in can hold on for a year, they will be hungry and cold here, and they will definitely die. ”

"However, the time for the passage to open just now is too short, and the previous team may not have time to react, and it may be closed again. ”

Elvis was still a little confused.

"If the boulder is slowly lifted by the water of the pool, then the process of opening the passage will also be slow, with enough time for the previous team to enter. ”

Alan further explained that the water in the pool was rising slowly, but it was impossible for him to slow down the speed when he used magic just now, because the energy on the magic array was simply not enough to support the long-term operation.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, the water here is very cold, we have to get out as soon as possible. ”

Sergei proposed that they were all now treading in the water, and the water temperature was very low, as if it had just melted ice and snow, and they had not felt it for a short time, and after a long time, they would immediately feel cold and biting, and Fresnel was even shivering with cold.

"Yes, don't worry about what is going on here, let's go up and see how it goes. ”

Alan nodded and said.

The passage stretched upwards, and as the people advanced, the water under their feet became shallower and shallower, and finally there was no water on the ground, and everyone felt more comfortable. Along the way, they used the light of the illuminated magic array to find that water was constantly seeping into the cracks in the rock walls on both sides, and the water gathered together to form the pool outside.

"This water seems to be melting snow from the mountains outside?"

Elvis guessed the source of the water from its temperature.

"Every spring and summer, when the snow melts, the pond rises, and the passage opens, which is why this time is chosen to pay tribute. Alas!"

Bloom's palm gently swiped across the stone wall, and he sighed for the countless mercenary brothers who had died here over the centuries.

"This mission is completed, and I'll try to find a way to see if I can design a magic array to crack this mechanism with entry and exit, so that the mercenary brothers who escort the tribute in the future can enter and exit, and will not be trapped inside. ”

Alan knew that Bloom was distressed that the mercenary team escorting the tribute would be trapped here, so he was not in a high mood, so he spoke, but his words were not just comforting, if he could design a large enough levitation magic array, it was not impossible to solve the problem of entering and leaving.
