CHAPTER XV
Following the gimmick, after passing through a winding dark passage hundreds of meters long, what appeared in front of Luo Ling's eyes was a stone chamber that looked huge and square. Luo Ling visually measured that the side of the stone chamber was about two hundred meters long, made of cyan boulders that were square to a meter, tightly seamed, the wall surface was rough, and the exits on all sides were suspended on the side walls, and below was a pool of silver bright liquid, with its own light, smooth as a mirror, illuminating this space full of silver white. In the white light, there are wisps of steamy stronger light, as if in the next inverted drizzle.
Picking up a small handful of silver viscous liquid in the air, Luo Ling observed it carefully for a moment and asked Agnes, "What is this?" What's going on here? ”
"Tribute silver, steaming corpse room." Agnes explained, "The Nightsong have a special fighting class, the Puppeteer. It can be roughly classified as a spell system, except that the puppeteer does not summon the Otherworld, but manipulates the dead people to fight......"
Luo Ling stretched out his hand to stop Agnes' explanation, "In the future, when I have free time, I can consider hearing the story about the Night Song Puppeteer, and now I will talk about the main point." ”
"Yes, Your Highness." Agnis swallowed slightly embarrassed, and continued, "Tribute silver infusion, a procedure for making a secret puppet is carried out here. The bridge was damaged due to a long period of lack of maintenance. The other road leading to the control room has collapsed and is impassable, so it can only be passed from here. ”
Luo Ling said: "I only need a few ups and downs to pass, what about you?" ”
"Thank you for your care, I opened the flame shield, and before the shield energy is exhausted, I should be able to pass through this area."
Luo Ling nodded, "Let's go!" With that, a faint green light flashed on the surface of the body, and when one of them crossed into the corpse room, the countless steaming silver rays were blocked by the green light, as if a translucent cover was passing through the rain curtain.
Agnis uttered several strange incantation words from his mouth, and a ball of fire burst from its body, before an oval, translucent flame shield enveloped its body. Agnes almost followed Luo Ling into the corpse steaming room, but its movements looked more clumsy, and it was not as calm and easy as Luo Ling's when it stepped over, and the distance was not as far as Luo Ling's.
Tribute silver is a high-density substance, viscous almost similar to hot asphalt, Luo Ling and Agnis are dragonflies like a little water to step on the tribute silver, the difference is that every time Luo Ling stepped, the tribute silver under his feet will be frozen and condensed, and under Agnes's feet, there are pieces of lava fire.
The two of them had just jumped over the center of the room one after the other, only to hear a loud bang, and the passages on all sides in the distance had been sealed by the falling gates. Luo Ling saw that the gate stone was the same width as the passage and the thickness was not more than 10 meters, and this fall was several points stronger than the broken dragon stone that sealed the entrance to the emperor's tomb.
Luo Ling stopped, stepped on a newly condensed ice lump with a radius of a meter, and said lightly: "Can you open the gate from the inside?" ”
Agnis couldn't condense enough buoyancy like Luo Ling, like a monkey with a burned tail jumping around Luo Ling, panicking and saying, "No! This gate stone has been necrotic for many years, how can it be suddenly activated!? What can I do? It's over, it's over, it's over......"
At the same time as Agnis spoke, the pool of tribute silver under his feet had begun to change, as if it was a pot of water that was boiling rapidly, and the undercurrent began to surge, and with the sound of snorting, the steaming light became denser and brighter, and it was developing denser and brighter at a geometric speed.
"Sealed! Closed! The entrance and exit are ventilation ducts...... "Agnes jumped around, wailing like a crow, no longer the appearance of the old god all the way."
Tribute silver is a very special substance, it is constantly 'devouring' all kinds of free energy and air, and then releasing negative energy, just like plants absorb sunlight, water and carbon dioxide and convert them into air. If you don't eat, you will become unstable, you will explode, you will change from static to extremely active, and you will become raging, like a beast that has risen up from hunger.
Luo Ling suddenly turned into a disemboweled cannonball, putting aside the skill blood shadow, which was already his limit speed. With a punch, the sluice stone at the end of the front turned the kinetic energy and the energy released in an instant into a tangible cone-shaped ripple impact, and then quickly spread outward from the contact point in a ring wave, and then dissipated at a very fast speed.
Like igniting a handful of gunpowder in a closed can, the expansion effect of the energy is bound to be repeated for a considerable period of time before it subsides, even if it cannot blow the can out.
Of course, these are not the point, the point is that Luo Ling's powerful punch just smashed a shallow pit the size of a melon at the center of the bombardment, and then the entire wall was flooded with a layer of ripple-like water, and then it returned to silence.
"It's a nice trap." Luo Ling returned, with a calm face.
Agnis cried and explained: "Your Highness, the old slave doesn't know either...... There's a hidden ...... here. The magic array that devours energy, please Your Highness, with no power...... Break the trap as soon as possible, the old slave won't last long! ”
"Find the heart of the circle." Luo Ling said and began to search every part of the room carefully.
"Yes!" Agnis answered, and began the search from another direction.
Similar to the magic array that can be effective for a long time in front of you, there is a complete set of measures to protect the integrity of the magic circle and the sufficient activation energy. Generally speaking, a high-quality spar is used as the core, which provides the activation energy of the magic circle, and also has the role of controlling the center. Moreover, as the most important part of the magic array, it could not be too far away from the magic array. Therefore, finding and destroying the core of the magic array is indeed a way.
The problem is that the cube about two hundred meters long, about one-third of which is tribute silver, and the other two-thirds is whitened by the brighter and denser silver brilliance, it is not easy to find a well-hidden spar, perhaps only the size of a pigeon's egg.
Finding a needle in the sea is already considered to be difficult, and what is even more difficult is to add a time limit to it. Whether it was the liquid tribute silver or the transpiring tribute silver filament, they were constantly eating away at the shield energy of Luo Ling and Agnes. Moreover, this is a process of acceleration, that is to say, the loss of energy will become more and more serious, and when the energy of the two bodies is exhausted, the end is to become a 'fresh corpse', and the death will not be fast, but the process is absolutely painful. Luo Ling had reason to believe that with the characteristics of tribute silver, even if his soul fire had been completed and he was different, it would still be exhausted in the long years.
"Your Highness, I'm worried that the core is at the bottom of the Tribute Silver Pool. Do you bombard the stone walls at the exit and around indiscriminately, I believe that you can always destroy some of the veins of the magic array, and then you will be able to break through the gate stones. Agnes seemed to endure and endure before he uttered this suggestion.
Hearing Agnes's words, Luo Ling stopped searching, and he calmly walked in front of Agnes. He looked at Agnes with a look in his eyes that was not cold, but only indifferent. "Thanks for your advice, I decided to give it a try, but before that happens, you'll have to pay for your mistakes."
As Luo Ling spoke, the ice-blue dust blew around Agnes like a gust of dust and sand in the desert between his hands, and the flame shield only lasted for less than 2 seconds under an ice-blue flash before it completely shattered, and the dust that came later attached to Agnes' body like iron powder met a magnet.
"Your Highness, you can't do this to me, I ......" The words that followed were no longer spoken, and the ice-blue dust made Agnis quickly freeze, and then it sank like a boulder to the bottom of the tribute silver pool.
"Drink!" Luo Ling roared, and his body lit up with unprecedented light, rushing towards the sluice stone he had attacked before, and then, a thunderous bombardment resounded through the room, and the entire corpse steaming room seemed to tremble......
More than five hours later......
Luo Ling appeared in an underground hall of nearly 1,000 square meters.
The main material that makes up this hall is the blue icicles, like neatly arranged giant crystals, under the background of the magic light, crystal clear, shining, giving people and its hard texture.
Knocked on it, poof! Burst! The voice was muffled. Luo Ling pursed his lips, with his strength, even an inch thick of steel would be dented or even pierced, but this icicle only smashed out a few white spots and some small cracks appeared around it, obviously, this solid ice is really the same on the outside. Compared to the exaggerated hardness of icicles, which is comparable to that of diamonds, the room temperature in the temple is more than -90 degrees Celsius.
After only a slight hesitation, Luo Ling stepped on the ice-frozen floor as smooth as a mirror, and strode towards the center of the hall. In the center of the temple, a soft golden light the size of a football floated in the air, and that was the goal of his trip - the golden core.
The five-meter-high altar was tightly wrapped in ice, and the steep steps were slippery, but this was not enough to create any obstacles for Luo Ling, and with a slight vertical leap, Luo Ling had already landed close to the golden core. With a swipe of his right hand, he easily collected the ball of light.
However, Luo Ling's action seemed to have extracted the keel of a huge ship, and the next second the golden core disappeared from the altar, circles of dark blue light waves spread from the altar in all directions, and the rumbling sound was like rolling thunder from far and near, more and more, the entire hall began to shake and collapse, as if the overturning was just around the corner.
Kerra! Kerra! The crunch of icicles gradually became more frequent, and large cracks appeared in it and gradually spread and densely spread, and large and small fragments of ice fell in a row, playing a collapsing movement. And the originally bright and smooth ice surface quickly lost its luster, turning into dirty, foul-smelling water, glowing with water, making the entire hall appear a kind of wet and greasy decay, as if in a ruined shackle deep in the swamp.
Luo Ling never moved, he even took his hands and observed everything in front of him with great interest, as if he didn't care about the crisis buried in front of him.
Cluck...... The eerie laughter resounded in the rumbling sound of the building collapsing, so clear that it felt eerie, as if the laughter was coming from the ears.
"Congratulations, Your Highness, for finally obtaining the 'Nibinje' Golden Core of the Noodle Ship."
This tone, tone, and tone are very familiar to Luo Ling, and it is the Baro Demon who died not long ago.
Luo Ling didn't show the slightest surprise, as if it was normal to hear Agnes' voice at this moment.
"Agnes, I've seen through your tricks. You still have a little chance now, and you may be able to escape my punishment as far as you can. ”
As soon as Luo Ling said this sentence with confidence, the person turned into a streamer comparable to a falling meteorite, and the gate of the palace that he had always come from escaped.
"Hahahaha...... Hehe......" In a series of deafening laughter, Agnis said: "How can a young abyss, with his apparent calmness, deceive the eyes of a Barlow Demon who has lived for nearly 10,000 years? No matter how good you are, you can't hide the fact that you have fallen into the trap I have set and consumed a lot of Demon Yuan. How could the trick of trying to scold me with words and taking the opportunity to escape succeeded? ”
Sure enough, Luo Ling came back in a huff, the entrance to the hall seemed to have changed at first glance, but the passage behind it had been completely sealed. Luo Ling tried to punch twice, although the hardness was not as perverted as the wall of the steaming corpse room with a magic array, it was not something that could be chiseled open in a moment and a half.
At the same time, the interior of the temple is changing at a geometric rate. Those huge icicles toppled over, revealing the dark rock wall behind them. The ice on the dome and the ground had completely melted, and the foul-smelling water vapor was increasing, gradually forming a blue-black fog that floated on the surface like dry ice from the stage.
The room temperature changes dramatically, rising from minus 90 degrees to minus 30 degrees in a matter of minutes, and is soaring at an accelerated rate. Apparently, this was not a refrigerated cabinet, but a sealed furnace, and now, the seal had been lifted.
"I'm sorry I didn't give you the opportunity to prepare a choice. You can only dissolve in my stomach. Your power, your possessions, I will take it, young abyss......" Agnes' tone of complacency was revealed.
