Chapter XXVII
The people who have gone through the hardships seem very puzzled, if they have encountered natural landscapes all the way before, then now they are facing a thorough humanistic architecture. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe palace is completely exotic, the whole building is made of gray boulders, which looks very similar to the Parthenon in Greece, and the entrance is a colonnade with a number of circular columns, which extends to the main entrance of the palace. There are two huge statues standing on both sides of the main entrance, and the protagonists of the statues are the mermaids who have fought with Lu Ming and them. It's just that the mermaids of these two statues appear taller and stronger, and they wear armor and hold weapons in their hands, looking majestic and murderous.
Merfolk guard the hall?! This word suddenly popped up in Lu Ming's mind, and the others seemed to realize something, and Meng Da couldn't wait to say: "Brother Lu, this should be the end of the third stage of the mission, let's finally get there."
Lu Ming ignored him, but looked at his watch, there is still an hour before the time of the task arrives, this third stage task is inevitably too simple, in the second stage of the task, some of them were almost killed!
"Be careful, don't be careless. The same is true for the second phase of the mission just now, the closer you get to the end, the more dangerous it will be, pay attention to any anomalies around. Although the end of the mission was close at hand, Lu Ming still commanded carefully.
"Ayi~~Vera~~Oviyi~~"
"Acelro~~Vera~~Oviyi~~"
As the crowd was about to move on, there was a burst of singing from the depths of the palace. Lu Ming hurriedly stopped the team from moving forward and shouted, "Be careful! Everyone's hearts tensed up at this moment, and they looked around nervously. But after a few minutes, there was still nothing unusual around, and only the heartbeat of everyone could be faintly heard.
There was nothing unusual in the process, so everyone had no choice but to move on, and soon came to the gate of the palace. The door of the hall is composed of two huge stone slabs, carved with simple patterns, one of which is hidden, and Meng Da stepped forward to push it, but failed to push it. Seeing this, the others hurriedly stepped forward to help, after all, as long as they entered, the third stage of the task would be completed, and they would be able to fight for some more precious rest time.
Lu Ming also joined in, and used enough strength to help push up the stone door, and inadvertently, he glanced at the mermaid statue on the side, and he found that the mermaid statue was staring at them with its head down, and there was a strange smile on its face. This vision startled Lu Ming, and he hurriedly took a closer look, but the statue seemed to have noticed something, and immediately returned to its original state and became motionless, but its facial expression always gave people a mysterious feeling.
At this time, with the strength of everyone, the stone gate had been pushed open with a width of about half a meter. Everyone didn't have time to stop or even speak, they poured into the door, and Lu Ming also walked in after glancing at the statue again.
Unexpectedly, the scene in the palace greatly surprised everyone, the whole hall is magnificent, luxurious, the top is a natural crystal chandelier more than ten meters high, the ground is a carpet made of giant polar bear skin, the hall is surrounded by a variety of tables and chairs made of precious wood and all kinds of decorative utensils made of silver, the walls are covered with all kinds of unique works of art, but the most dazzling thing in the whole hall is the giant treasure stacked in the middle!
They are all truly priceless treasures, countless gold coins and gold bricks, goose egg-sized gemstones, and a large number of exquisite armor and weapons, among which there is a sword body that is even made of pure crystal, exuding dazzling light, which is very stylish. Although in this world, money is not so important to everyone, but in the face of such a colorful and diverse peerless treasure, no one will have the ability to resist. Meng Da and Gao Yu were even rolling in the pile of gold coins, and Liang Hansheng also took the opportunity to offer flowers to bring a ruby crown to his daughter-in-law's head, which made Zhu Wenli's face shy. Li Da Fat Man was even more excessive, and he couldn't wait to put on a suit of armor studded with gems, and he still held the most dazzling crystal sword in his hand, looking full of nouveau riche atmosphere. In an instant, everyone seemed to have forgotten what they were here for, and they frantically searched for treasures, constantly equipping themselves with exquisite items one after another.
There was only one person who remained calm at this moment, and that was Lu Ming. Perhaps it was the change in the statue that gave him a sense of vigilance, and he had always maintained a high degree of vigilance since he entered the hall, even in the face of the great temptation of the treasure in front of him, he did not lose his mind with the others, but made him even more worried. This is a strange realm, but it is not a rich man's treasure house, and there must be something strange about the sudden appearance of such a pile of treasures in front of him. And judging from everyone's crazy and infatuated looks, there is also a hint of something wrong.
As the saying goes, what is afraid of something, and the accident happened at this time. Li Fatzi and Liu Ding, who were in the treasure pile, suddenly quarreled, Li Fatzi pointed at Liu Ding with the crystal sword in his hand, and said viciously: "Get away, if you dare to touch my baby again, I will poke you to death!" ā
Liu Ding, who is usually more cowardly, was unusual, not afraid of the murder weapon in front of him, but said loudly: "Let go of your fart!" These are all mine, I saw them first, you dead fat man, if Lao Tzu hadn't saved you before, you would have become bait a long time ago. Your sword is mine too! As he spoke, there was a greedy look in his eyes, and his hands grabbed the crystal sword in front of him.
Li Fatzi was annoyed and angry by what he said, roared, kicked Liu Ding in the stomach, and then poked Liu Ding with his sword. Fortunately, Meng Da was not far from him, and he directly pressed the fat man's arm, snatched the crystal sword in his hand, and then kicked Li Fat Man aside. Seeing that the situation was under control, Lu Ming was also relieved, but Meng Da's next words shocked him into a cold sweat.
"You two guys, you dare to fight over Lao Tzu's treasure, are you tired of it? Hurry up and get out of here, everything here is mine, and the few around you, go away for me, or I'll kill you one by one! It was hard to imagine that these words were actually coming out of Meng Da's mouth, and it didn't seem to be a joke.
However, the next reaction of everyone made Lu Ming feel even more desperate, Gao Yu and the old ghost directly shouted hoarsely at Meng Da: "It's obviously all mine, everything is mine!" I'll kill you. Liang Hansheng touched Meng Da behind him with a golden scepter in his hand, wanting to give Meng Da a "surprise" from behind. Li Fatzi and Liu Ding scuffled together, scolding each other with dry mouths.
The scene became chaotic all of a sudden, Meng Da was smashed in the head by Liang Hansheng, but he also poked Gao Yu who pounced on him with a sword, Li Fatzi rode on Liu Ding's body with the advantage of his body, and smashed Liu Ding's face with a punch, Liu Ding, who was beaten and bruised and swollen, did not beg for mercy, but struggled desperately on the ground, trying to get back the situation.
Suddenly a scream woke up everyone in the fight, only to see the old ghost frantically pick up a crown and put it on his head, and there was a bloody person under his feet, and this person was Zhu Wenli, who was wearing the crown before, but at this time her throat had been pierced by a golden dagger, and she couldn't die anymore.
When Liang Hansheng, who was not far away, saw it, he directly roared and pounced on the old ghost, grabbed the old ghost's neck and scuffled. And Li Fatzi on the other side also gave up Liu Ding, who was smashed to pieces by him. rushed directly to Meng Da, wanting to snatch the crystal sword in Meng Da's hand, and shouted in his mouth: "Give me back my baby." Meng Da smiled cruelly and stabbed him directly with his sword.
The series of changes in front of him suddenly reminded Lu Ming of the weird smile on the statue before, and at this moment he suddenly realized that it was clearly a kind of sarcasm and mockery! They have experienced so many dangers before and have not reduced their personnel, but in just such a short time, Zhu Wenli and Liu Ding died one after another, and according to the current situation, the casualties will be even more serious. But what to do now, he can't stop this meeting alone.
"What are you doing here? Do you want to reap the benefits of the fisherman? You scumbag! ā
The sudden voice interrupted Lu Ming's thoughts, and then he saw Gao Yu rushing towards him with a short sword, Lu Ming hurriedly flashed to the side, and then shouted: "Gao Yu! Be sober! I'm Lu Ming. You are all deceived by these treasures, wake up. As he spoke, he grabbed Gao Yu's hand and wanted to snatch the short sword away, but the hand he stretched out for the short sword was empty.
How so?! Lu Ming was also a little stunned for a while, and then he was punched hard by Gao Yu in the face and fell to the ground. However, the hot feeling on his face gave Lu Ming a hint of enlightenment. The short sword can't be touched, but the fist is sturdy, which shows that the short sword is fake and the person is real. Could it be that everything in front of him now is an illusion, and only these people are real?! But how exactly did they fall into this illusion? There's nothing unusual along the way, isn't it... Is that strange singing?
After having a plan in his heart, Lu Ming hurriedly restrained Gao Yu who rushed up again, and pressed him under him with his knees, and then tore off two rags from his body and stuffed them into his ears.
In an instant, the scene in front of them changed, and they returned to the colonnade in front of the palace, where they heard the strange singing. Meng Da was pinching Li Fatzi's neck at this time, while Liang Hansheng was also rolling and wrestling on the ground with the old ghost, and Zhu Wenli and Liu Ding were lying quietly on the ground, but they were obviously still breathing.
Lu Ming, who touched the truth, didn't dare to slack off, and tore off two strips of cloth from his clothes and stuffed them into Gao Yu's ears under him, slowly Gao Yu stopped struggling and gasped: "Brother Lu, what's wrong, come down, you're going to crush me to death." Lu Ming, who breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly pulled him up, and before he had time to explain more, he rushed to Liang Hansheng and the old ghost who were rolling on the ground.
When the old ghost saw him coming, he hurriedly shouted: "Lu Ming, help, this guy is crazy, everyone is crazy!" ā
Lu Ming repeated his old trick and blocked Liang Hansheng's ears, so that Liang Hansheng also returned to normal, but now is not the time to breathe a sigh of relief, because Li Fatzi on the other side has already rolled his eyes by Meng Da. Lu Ming, who was helpless, only rushed forward again, but he didn't expect Meng Da to react quickly, pinching Li Fatzi with one hand, and reflexively slashing at Lu Ming with the other hand, and shouting in his mouth: "If you want my things, there is no door, let you taste the power of my crystal sword, let me die!" ā
Lu Ming knew that he was still trapped in a hallucination and couldn't extricate himself, thinking that he was killing the Quartet with a crystal sword, so he didn't hide, but drilled into Meng Da's arms, and touched Meng Da's ears with both hands. Meng Da tilted his head back, grabbed Li Fatzi's hand and sent it away, quickly took out a dagger from his arms, and stabbed at Lu Ming. Fortunately, Lu Ming's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly dodged, but he was still shocked into a cold sweat, if he was stabbed to death by Meng Daxia with a real weapon at this time, it would be too unjust. In the end, it was the old ghost and Gao Yu who regained their strength who came to help and brought Meng Da to his senses.
Then, Liang Hansheng checked Zhu Wenli and Liu Ding again, and found that they were only unconscious, so he used some small methods to revive them again.
