Chapter 219: The Copper Box Opens
With the countdown to the cold moon coming to an end. I gritted my teeth and pressed the longan hard with two fingers.
There was indeed a mechanism after the dragon's eye. After I pressed hard. Falling backwards into the depth of half a finger. And then it was as if something was holding it up. I can't press it any further.
No wonder Leng Yue asked me to help him. On his own, he simply couldn't press a mechanism at the same time so far apart.
An answer to a doubt. It was also the beginning of another doubt.
I couldn't help frowning and thinking: the previous mural didn't mention how to open the copper box. There is no explanation of how the mechanism in this place is opened. How did Leng Yue know?
As the traps on both sides were touched by me and the cold moon. The large stone screen, along with the stone platform below, began to tremble slightly. And the amplitude of the tremor gradually intensified. It's starting to look bumpy. And it was accompanied by the sound of "Gragra".
I turned my head to look at the cold moon on the other side. It was found that he always maintained the posture of holding the dragon's eye and did not move. So I didn't move. Desperately grabbed the screen. Prevent being thrown into the endless abyss behind.
Next. An astonishing picture appeared before our eyes.
Screens and relief dragons on the ground. Except for the two that Leng Yue and I held down. The rest of them all moved. It was as if the divine beast that had been sleeping for thousands of years was slowly waking up. When you move, you shake and dust scatters everywhere.
I watched intently for a moment. It was found that the eight relief dragons were not moving randomly without discipline. It's faintly like a queue. Get rid of entanglements with each other. Connected in the first place. It's like queuing. One by one, they wandered towards the stone platform in the center.
The stone platform has also changed. Begins to rise upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye. It's like mushrooms after rain.
When the stone platform is raised by about half a meter. Stopped "growing". But the stone dragon claw in the center of it is still rising. It rose nearly half a meter before stopping.
When the stone dragon claws stop. The eight relief dragons have all been squeezed under the stone platform. Everything here also stopped shaking. The sound was silenced.
I breathed a sigh of relief. I was about to let go and get up. But I heard Leng Yue shouting at me on the other side: "Don't move." ”
His sudden voice startled me. Immediately nervous. The two fingers that were about to be released pressed harder. But fortunately, it didn't make a difference.
Cold Moon also maintains her current position. Shen Dali shouted at Shen Dali: "Put the box in your hand." ”
I don't know if Shen Dali was stunned by the scene just now, and he didn't come back to his senses. I still really didn't understand the meaning of the cold moon. He actually raised the copper box with both hands. Ask aloud: "That's it." ”
Because I kept the same position all the time. My legs and outstretched arms were a little numb. I couldn't help but shout: "Vigorously." What are you doing with the box? Put the box in that stone hand. ”
Shen Dali suddenly realized. Said angrily: "Damn." He doesn't explain it. ”
He said. Step forward quickly. Place the copper box on the stone dragon's claw.
The moment the copper box came into contact with the stone dragon claw. I heard a crunch "click". and Shen Dali's exclamation.
I hurriedly asked what was going on. Shen Dali told me loudly. The dragon's claws suddenly moved. Hold the copper box firmly in the palm of your hand.
Leng Yue shouted: "Stand back." ”
Shen Dali hurriedly retreated when he heard this. Just as he had just taken two steps back. Suddenly, a dark compartment opened on the side of the stone platform.
At the same time as the dark grid opened. Several spikes stabbed out in a hurry. Fortunately, Shen Dali had already stepped back in time after hearing Leng Yue's reminder. Otherwise, his legs would definitely not be saved.
The spikes are more than a meter long. There are dozens. It makes my scalp tingle.
They stab fast. But it was slow to retract. It took almost a minute. It was completely recycled into the dark grid of the stone platform.
Shen Dali seemed to think it was okay. He was about to return to the stone platform. But he was stopped loudly by Leng Yue.
The dragon's claws on the stone platform have already grasped the copper box. Suddenly it was as if he was alive. It actually moved.
I saw the stone dragon claw spinning. Elongation. Shrink......
I don't know how. All I heard was a "click". Stone Dragonclaw replied again. And the copper box, which didn't seem to have a single gap, was opened from the middle. The lid popped up, too.
After two or three seconds. Suddenly there was a strange business under the stone platform. Immediately afterward, countless small snakes the thickness of fingers rushed out from under the stone platform.
I'm on it. See, really. It was found that those little snakes were frighteningly surging towards Shen Dali. Immediately anxious.
Shen Dali was also frightened. Turn around and run. But I heard Leng Yue shouting loudly: "Don't move." Don't look. ”
Shen Dali hurriedly said, "Fuck." If you change it, you will try. ”
Although he said so unconvincingly. But still listen to Leng Yue's arrangement. Close your eyes tightly. Nervously standing there. Motionless.
The group of snakes quickly reached Shen Dali's approach. But he didn't seem to have any interest in Shen Dali. Anxiously continued to swim forward. only "drowned" Shen Dali's feet.
There are just too many snakes. Preliminary estimates put it in the hundreds.
They were used for a long time. Passed by Shen Dali. Far away in the darkness. I don't know where to run.
Wait until all the snakes are gone. Shen Dali slowly opened his eyes. Make sure you're okay. I put my mind at ease.
But. This time he stayed where he was. He didn't try to get close to the stone platform again.
It turns out. He was right to do so. Because it's not much. Another snake swam out from under the stone platform.
Say it's a snake. Actually, it's because the main body of the thing is like a snake. But there are feet. The middle of the back has vertical wings. There is a tumor on the head that looks like a cockscomb.
The thing is over two meters long. The whole body is covered with green and black watermelon patterns. A pair of eyes dripping and rolling. When walking, the limbs can be retracted to the side and hidden.
It wanders unhurriedly. It's like taking a walk. But he also soon reached Shen Dali's vicinity.
This time. No need for cold moon reminders. Shen Dali also knew what to do.
His eyes were closed. Don't dare to move. But it is estimated that he has already greeted Leng Yue's ancestor in his heart at this time.
The monster didn't walk straight past like the other snakes. The ear chamber was wrapped around Shen Dali's leg. Move slowly upward. Come to Shen Dali's shoulder. Tilt your head and stick it out. had a "face-to-face" with Shen Dali.
This lasted for more than a minute. The monster just came down from Shen Dali's body. Keep moving forward. And it's sped up. Soon it disappeared into the darkness.
"Alright. Get the ball out. Leng Yue shouted loudly.
Shen Dali was crying when he spoke at this time. While walking towards the stone platform. While pointing at the cold moon burst, he said foully. And Leng Yue turned a deaf ear. A pair of green eyes only stared at the copper box on the stone dragon's claws.
"Huh."
When Shen Dali carefully took out the contents of the copper box. He looked very confused.
"Vigorously. What's wrong. I hurriedly asked.
Shen vigorously raised the relief ball in his hand. Asked aloud, "Is this thing only half?" ”
