Chapter 35: The Millennium
The fact that I sold the 'Blind Flash' rune for profit has been known to Nether!
Not only did Nether find out, but he also sent his dogleg Scourge Courier to beat me!
Cai Junyan secretly rejoiced, fortunately, she had turned into a black shadow and had no entity, otherwise the cold sweat and heartbeat alone would be enough to expose her weak side.
Just when she was feeling uneasy, the Scourge Messenger did not continue to speak, and directly let everyone enter the projection curtain, ready to come.
Entering a state of solitude, Cai Junyan quickly breathed a sigh of relief, and even had a thought in her heart: Could it be that she betrayed the intelligence of the Nether Society, and that was it...... Never mind?
No way!
If Nether really didn't care, why did she let the Scourge Courier deliberately mention such a sentence to beat herself?
Although the voice of the 'Scourge Courier' is very gentle, and it seems that she is really praising her behavior, but when you think about it, this logic simply does not make sense: Nether is not against the limit, how can he still support her?
Just like if you find a mouse in the rice bowl at home, you may not care about that bit of rice and treat it as a pet, but will you praise the mouse for eating a lot, eating well, and eating croaking?
So, there is only one truth -
The phrase 'Scourge Messenger' is a sarcasm for her, a reminder of her!
Moreover, the Scourge Messenger is a paralyzed face that does not smile, and showing a smile is a danger signal!
But the mission has not been suspended, and I am still eligible to participate in the mission and even receive mission rewards.
The warner is the Scourge Courier......
Obviously, I'm in a state of guilt now. Whether or not I will be held accountable depends on my performance in the mission!
Cai Junyan secretly made up her mind to perform well later.
……
I brag about the captain's awesomeness, and the captain knows everything?
You Zhuxiao was surprised and embarrassed, just like saying bad things about people behind his back and being caught by the person concerned.
But no, I only told my mother about the Scourge Courier, how could the captain know?
Could it be that the captain put a spell on his name similar to Voldemort's? As long as someone mentions his name, he will know?
But the captain doesn't look like a wizard......
You Zhuxiao quickly thought of another possibility: the captain was actually praising her for getting the third rune so quickly!
Hmph, you deliberately snubbed me just now, and you can't help but praise me!
The captain must have discovered that my talent is so remarkable, and I must be a once-in-a-millennium destiny girl!
She followed the advice in the prompt and carefully chose the deconstructed items—
Mobile terminal with independent operating system!
That is, smartphones.
When it comes to the most useful and necessary props of this era, it is, of course, the mobile phone!
You Zhuxiao couldn't imagine how he would spend an empty life if he didn't have a mobile phone one day.
And after completing the 'deconstruction' rune, You Zhuxiao really got the ability she dreamed of - controlling the phone!
No matter what time it is, no matter where it is, no matter what state it is, as long as You Zhuxiao moves her heart, the mobile phone will fly to her hand!
She is no longer afraid that her phone will be lost!
And now she can lie comfortably on the bed, watch her mobile phone with her head held high, watch videos, watch anime, and water groups, without using her hands at all.
However, You Zhuxiao is actually a little weak-hearted, because she doesn't know if deconstructing the mobile phone is a good choice, and the captain didn't give an example.
Now that the captain approves of her choice, it shows that she spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a mobile phone to destroy it, and it was not in vain!
You Zhuxiao secretly made up his mind to behave well later.
……
Five minutes later, four figures suddenly appeared in the dark passage.
The passage was pitch black, but there were night vision goggles in the projection gear, so the view was unobstructed.
Cha Xiu immediately observed the surrounding situation, they were probably in an artificial masonry passage 2 meters wide and 3 meters high, the wind flow in the passage was weak, and there was no light source equipment.
He saw Zhuxian suddenly cover his mouth, and his face pointed to a corner in horror.
Following the gesture of the bamboo fairy, Cha Xiu saw that there was a large pile of corpses piled up in the passage in front of him, which was stuffed into the entire passage, extending all the way to the depths, like a road of white bones.
Cha Xiu held up a finger and signaled everyone to be quiet, but in fact, no one dared to speak—compared to the majestic and wonderful stalactite cave, it was too oppressive, and the air was dreary, and the air seemed to be squeezed with dust that had been left over for hundreds of years, and the narrow passages swallowed them like a stomach tract.
Not to mention You Zhuxiao and Cai Junyan, two novices, even Xiluda felt a little sick to his stomach.
Cha Xiu approached the corpses to observe, these corpses all have clothes, although they have been worn out by the years, as if they will be scattered into ashes when touched, but Cha Xiu can still see some clues from the style of clothes - after all, he has been playing on the earth in the lower nine streams.
He looked at the marks on the wall again, and he already had a judgment in his mind.
"It's a craftsman."
Cha Xiu said lightly: "These are the craftsmen who were starved to death, and we are in the tomb. ”
You Zhu smiled and asked, "Why?" ”
Although it is not known whether Zhuxian is asking about the 'craftsman' or the 'tomb', Cha Xiu explained it all: "The clothes they wear are the style of Tang Dynasty craftsmen who deliberately modified their sleeves and trouser legs to facilitate movement. In the past, very few buildings were built underground, where the air flow was blocked, the passages were narrow and difficult to navigate, there was no light source setting, there was no practical value, and it was only decorative...... This is the tomb road, and the owner of the tomb is likely to be a great nobleman. ”
"In the past, with the exception of the royal cemeteries, which were guarded by guards, most of the tombs were too weak to defend themselves against tomb robbers. Therefore, many nobles chose to build tombs in the deep mountains and old forests, keeping them secret to ensure the safety of the tombs. ”
"But there is a group of people who know all the gold and silver treasures in the tomb and the routes in and out of the tomb, and they are natural helpers for tomb robbers, and they will even become one of the tomb robbers."
"The craftsman who built the tomb." Cai Junyan said the answer softly, as if she was afraid of disturbing the resentful spirits in the dark.
Cha Xiu nodded:
"Therefore, after the burial of the tomb owner, the artisan is often buried. Be merciful, and kill directly; And if you are cruel, you will be like this tomb owner, starving and trapping them in this path. The scratches on the walls, not naturally formed, were made by them with their fingernails. ”
Compared with direct slaughter, starvation and trapping are naturally more cruel.
Death is a momentary death, but starvation and death are a cycle of despair that lasts for days.
Cai Junyan and You Zhuxiao thought of these people in this narrow passage, with no way to go to heaven and no door to enter the ground, hysterically smashing the wall with their fingers, just seeking a glimmer of life.
This ancient cruelty made them shudder.
Cha Xiu stood up at this time and suddenly asked them:
"Report a change in equipment."
Xiluda shook her head, Cai Junyan looked at herself, and said with some surprise: "My leather equipment has been changed to ...... Steel is equipped, round shields become kite shields, and short knives become long knives. ”
Cai Junyan waved the shield knife and found that it was unexpectedly easy, and the armor on her body did not hinder her movement. If she was a novice adventurer last time, she is at least a veteran operator now.
You Zhuxiao raised the pistol and said, "I still have a pistol and ten magazines, but the model of the pistol has changed...... It's powerful. ”
Cai Junyan and Xi Luda observed You Zhuxiao, and suddenly found that this girl seemed to be ...... It's getting prettier.
Although they are all Yan Leshi's faces, if last week's face was 720P ordinary picture quality, then now she is a star face with 4K ultra-high-definition quality.
This bamboo fairy, shouldn't it be to project more beautifully, specifically to remember all the details of the star's face?
Cha Xiu snorted: "As before, I opened the way with the ghost, the bamboo fairy covered, and the catwoman hunted." ”
With that, he took the initiative to walk to the other side of the tomb, and Catwoman followed directly, and the ghost thought for a moment and followed.
You Zhu smiled and blinked and asked, "Why did you go over there?" This is the escape route of the craftsmen, we should not be ......"
Cha Xiu didn't reply: "Because we're not running away." ”
"The direction in which the bones spread is the ground, and the Heavenly Demon we want to exterminate is in the tomb. The place where we projected was this tombway, so if you go down the tomb, you will inevitably encounter enemies. ”
Although he was a little scared, firstly, this was a projection, and secondly, there were three teammates around him, so You Zhuxiao also mustered up the courage to open the pistol safety and follow the team.
Cai Junyan took the lead, raising her shield and walking in the forefront, her whole body muscles tensed, ready to fight at any time.
Because she didn't see her teammates, Cai Junyan's 'Reflex' and 'Blind Flash' runes took effect at the same time, and she could clearly sense the situation of her teammates: Bamboo Fairy was nervous, Catwoman was disgusted, but the Scourge Messenger was as calm as stagnant water.
It was as if he had become accustomed to walking through the tombs.
At this time, Cai Junyan suddenly realized a detail: when talking about the Tang Dynasty, the natural disaster messenger was not talking about 'ancient', but 'before'.
For the average person, the terms 'ancient', 'modern', and '70s' all refer to the past before they were born, while 'before' refers to the time they have experienced.
She originally thought that the natural disaster messenger was a native of the Ming Dynasty five hundred years ago, but now the insight and language habits shown by the natural disaster messenger show that he is at least an old Tang Dynasty antique who has lived for thousands of years.
At such an age, they are still shining for the Nether Society, and even working with newcomers like them to catch up with business on the front line.
It can be seen how heavy the squeeze of the members of the Nether Society is, which can be called a thousand years of endlessly!
What is the wolf spirit of the current society, the natural disaster messenger is simply a turtle spirit, live to be old!
Cai Junyan's fear of the Nether Society deepened, but she became more serious in her actions.
Cha Xiu, who was in the center of the team, could naturally observe that the spirit of the two new team members far exceeded the last action, and they became extremely serious and focused.
Could it be that the 'Fragrance' rune is really so useful? He encouraged them a little, and they were as energetic as chickens?
Wait a minute......
Soon, they reached the end of the tomb, where an iron door was embedded in the rock wall.
Tea Xiu had already expected this, since the tomb owner trapped the craftsmen in the tomb, he naturally had to prevent the craftsmen from entering the tomb to make trouble.
However, over the millennium, the strata have changed several times, causing the rock walls to separate to both sides. The heavy iron gate was helpless under the power of heaven and earth, and it cracked through the middle.
The Light Squad effortlessly crossed the iron gate and entered the real burial chamber.
'This Tang Dynasty landlord doesn't seem to be rich......
Cai Junyan looked around and found that although the tomb was large, it was empty and there was nothing missing, and she couldn't help but slander in her heart.
At that moment, they suddenly heard a movement on the ground in the middle of the tomb!
Suddenly, the floor tiles twisted and coalesced like dirt, and the earth bulged upwards like a fountain of water.
In the dark burial chamber, a humanoid monster rose silently from the ground, and soon formed legs, hands, torso, head, and even scarlet eyes......
Rumble!
A huge gunshot rang out through the tomb, and the three of them felt like they had exploded in their ears!
The three of them turned their heads and saw You Zhuxiao raise his gun and aim at the humanoid monster, and the monster's body was blown up with one shot!
You Zhuxiao noticed their eyes and blinked:
"Shouldn't you have shot them up when they transformed? That's how anime plays. ”
