"Something is wrong!"

Looking at the body found, Alan suddenly had a sense of foreboding. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"What's wrong?"

Elvis asked.

"I can't tell. ”

Alan shook his head, he just felt that the corpse wasn't supposed to be here, because it wasn't the end yet.

"Didn't they send the tribute to the top of the mountain, how could the corpse be here?"

Harvey had the same doubt.

"Could it be that they died here before they even reached the top of the mountain?"

"No, there is no trace of tribute around. ”

"It may have been someone else who brought it to the top of the mountain. ”

"Then it is impossible to suddenly kill six people, and looking at the posture of the six people, they should have been sitting here before they died, and how can they explain the dry bones over there?"

"Could it be that they reached the top of the mountain, then encountered the dragon, fled all the way, and ended up trapped here, starved to death here, without supplies?"

Everyone discussed it with a lot of gossip, but they couldn't come to a definite conclusion.

"Forget it, don't think nonsense, for more than three hundred years, I don't know how many people have died in this mountain, any way of death is possible, it is not strange to have a few corpses, let's go up and take a look and naturally understand. ”

In the end, it was Alan who opened his mouth to end the discussion, because the accidental discovery of the corpse cast a shadow on everyone's hearts, making them all feel a little stressed, hurriedly ate something, slept for a while, and woke up without knowing what time it was, so they continued to climb the steps. When arriving at a new cave, Bloom directly led the people to inspect the surrounding area of the cave, as before, they found some corpses, judging from the appearance of the corpses, the time of death varied, but this time everyone did not argue too much, but the mood became heavier, knowing that it would be a moment to die, and it was another thing to see dead people and a lot of dead people. They continued to repeat the steps of climbing, inspecting the cave, finding more corpses, resting, and then they were too lazy to look for them, as they had come to realize that the team escorting the tribute should have been buried in the mountain for hundreds of years, not at the top of the mountain, as Alan had originally envisioned, which made their sense of foreboding even stronger, as they might as well be one of them.

"We're climbing so high now that I'm worried I'm going to die of exhaustion before we get to the finish line. ”

I don't know how many days have passed, the steps have climbed higher and higher, and it seems that there is no end, Elvis really can't stand it anymore, he stopped, stepped on the last step of the passage with one leg, held his knee with his hand, gasped, and complained.

"We climbed a total of 34 passages, a total of more than 30,000 steps, almost 7,000 steps. ”

The little girl lying on Stanny's back said, she was in charge of counting along the way.

"How high is this mountain, it feels like there is no end?"

Elvis simply sat down, wiped a handful of sweat, and said after taking a few more sips of water.

"There will be an end, you don't notice that the further we go up, the smaller the space becomes, which means that we are getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain. ”

Alan pointed to the top of his head and said, the cave in front of them was indeed much smaller than the one below, less than fifty steps in diameter.

"Let's rest here tonight, and try to reach the top tomorrow night. These magic arrays have been replenished with energy, and you can use them to keep warm. ”

Based on the change in the size of the cave, Alan predicted that in one day at most, they would be able to reach the top of the mountain.

As the height of the climb is getting higher and higher, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and a thick layer of frost can be seen on the walls of both the passage and the space, the three swordsmen feel okay, the three magicians and the two elves are obviously a little uncomfortable, fortunately, Alan has been prepared for a long time, and takes out a few magic array disks to distribute to everyone, and the heating magic array on the array disk will slowly convert the fire element on the magic crystal into heat and dissipate it, so that they can sleep comfortably in the cold environment.

As soon as they woke up and had eaten enough, everyone's morale increased a lot, and they continued the last part of the journey, as the cave shrunk, the passages became shorter and shorter, and everyone soon climbed a dozen passages, and finally they came to a cave, which was a little different from all the previous caves.

First of all, its volume did not continue to shrink according to the law, but suddenly increased a lot, especially in height, almost higher than the space at the bottom, and Alan and the others soon discovered the reason why the cave was higher, because this was the last cave, and there was no passage to its face to continue to lead to the top.

Secondly, the caves below are all in the form of stone chambers, only this one is an ice chamber, whether it is the ground, the surrounding walls, and even the high ceiling are covered with a thick layer of ice, and there is no real appearance at all. Even the corpses that appeared in the cave ** no longer appeared in the form of decay, but remained frozen, and many corpses that had been dead for many years even remained lifelike, which made everyone feel terrified, and they felt more and more that what they had entered was definitely not a dragon's lair, but a tomb where tens of thousands of souls were buried.

What made Allen feel that this cave was extraordinary was that in the middle of the cave, there were two huge icicles leading straight to the roof of the chamber, connecting with the ice layer above, which seemed to support the weight of the stone chamber.

"There's something in the middle. ”

Looking around, Bloom pointed to the middle of the two icicles, where a reflection did appear in the middle of the ground.

"Let's go, go over and have a look. ”

Alan waved his hand, and everyone followed, and when they got closer, they found that there was a rectangular groove in the ground in the middle of the pillar, and the corners of the groove were ice edges, reflecting the light.

"This groove seems to be the place where the tributes are placed. ”

Alan circled around the groove, he knew that such a groove would not appear here for no reason, there must be some use, when he turned to the opposite side of the groove, he happened to see the box dragged behind Harvey, and he couldn't help but say in his heart.

"That's right, the size of this groove is very close to the size of the box. ”

Elvis looked at the grooves, then at the box, and nodded.

"I hope you're all wrong!"

Bloom said in a bitter tone, it would have been a happy thing to arrive at the destination of the tribute, but if this is the destination, it means that the destination is not at the top of the mountain at all as Alan predicted before, which means that there is no way to the top of the mountain at all, and they are destined to be trapped here like the previous mercenaries.
