Chapter 147: Dragon Claw
"Ah~" A scream came from the darkness in the distance.
"It's crocodile, let's get over quickly!" A few Nords immediately heard the crocodile's voice, "He needs our help!" ”
"Wait!" Ai stretched his hand to block.
A few Nord men stopped, looked at Ella, and then turned to look at Lin Ze, who didn't look up at all, as if he hadn't heard the scream just now, and still used the long light crystal probe staff to knock on the ground where he thought there might be traps.
"Humans who are timid and afraid of death, we Nords are not afraid of death!" A Nord man saw that Lin Ze didn't react at all, and turned his head with disdain, "The voice of the crocodile is coming from the front, which means that it must be safe here, why do you still use probing for any bullshit traps, let's go!" ”
Ella thought for a moment and didn't stop any longer, just sighed softly.
The team, which was already only six people, shrank further, and two Nords accelerated forward with torches, and only Ella, Javier, and a quiet-looking Nord continued to follow behind Lin Ze.
Lin Ze raised his head and looked at a few people behind him, "Hey~ To tell the truth, not being afraid of death does not mean that you will not die, and the road you have walked may not be safe to walk again", he picked up a stone on the ground, turned around and threw it at a place he had just passed behind him.
"Click~" The stone slab that was hit sank downward, and two spears pierced out of the wall next to the stone slab.
Ella looked at the two triggered trap spears in silence, "Why didn't you just say that." ”
"It's useless, I'm not the captain in the first place", Lin Ze explained, the reason why a few Nords listened to his idea at first was because he was always at the forefront when dealing with vines before, this kind of untested trust is naturally not so solid, instead of stopping them and then quarreling, forcing them to stay and disagree with each other, it is better to go their own way, as an experienced explorer, Lin Ze knows very well how harmful this kind of team with discord is, "Let's try to hurry up, I hope they can hold on." ”
……
After another hour or so, the road ahead became a stone road, and they had already left the beast area of the tomb, which was very large because of the Nord's warlike warfare.
"Crocodile?" Ella whispered as she pointed to the figure leaning against the wall at the corner of the corridor ahead.
"Wait, don't go there!" Lin Ze hurriedly stopped, and then slowly leaned forward.
When you get closer, you can clearly see several blood holes in the crocodile's body, and at this time, a vine is burrowing into one of the blood holes.
"This damn vine," Ella drew her sword to cut the vine.
"He wasn't killed by vines", Lin Ze stopped, "Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many wounds on his body", just now Lin Ze and they came all the way, and they never encountered any attack from the vines.
Lin Ze motioned for Ella to stay still, he cautiously stepped forward and looked at the other side of the corner of the corridor, and sure enough, a spiked fence fixed to the wall on the other side stood there, and several spikes still had blood stains on them.
"Come on, this is a trap that can't be used again after being triggered once", Lin Ze turned around and said, "Crocodile Li stepped on the pressure plate on this side of the road, and then the spiked fence bounced around and hit him, and this vine only came out after feeling the smell of blood." ”
After speaking, Lin Ze stepped forward and cut off the vines with a sword, "Let's keep walking, it should be them who pushed the spiked fence just now", Lin Ze said the two Nords who left the team, "I hope they are okay, let's move on." ”
The corridor is not large, but there are many carved murals on the walls on both sides of the corridor.
"This should be the corridor connecting the Glory Zone", Ella whispered, "We have to be careful, there must be a lot of traps in the corridor, the Glory Zone is the place where the city's magnates and warriors with great achievements are buried, this is the city of the Silodi people, it should be represented by the eagle, that is, the Eagle District, did you bring that Silodi claw?" ”
"Bring, in the bag, you mean it's possible to use it here?"
"That's right, the Dragon's Claw Keystone is usually used to seal important areas, and it is very likely that this is the place in this ruin."
"Look, it's them!" Javier shouted, pointing to the two bodies lying on the ground in front of him.
There were several steel crossbow arrows stuck in the back of the corpse, Lin Ze roughly calculated the direction of the crossbow arrows in his heart, and suddenly turned his head to look at the ceiling behind him, a row of shooting holes looked gloomy under the light crystal.
"Damn, what a sinister trap", Ella also saw the shooting hole, the device that triggered the trap was in front, but the attack was coming from behind, and generally whoever could defend it, the person who probed the trap would be hit if he was not careful.
"The arrows are poisonous, otherwise they wouldn't have died without even making a sound," Lin Ze said, pointing to the crossbow arrows.
After a slight silence, the group carefully bypassed the trigger pressure plate of the poisoned arrow, this kind of trap is not a one-time trap like falling rocks.
"Look, it's here, this is the Sealed Gate", Ella said, pointing to the stone wall at the end of the corridor, "When the Sealing Gate was built, the surrounding stone walls should be divided into many confined areas, and then the highly toxic Moaqui liquid was injected into these areas, so as to prevent outsiders from digging through the surrounding areas of the Sealed Gate and bypassing the gate to enter the interior. ”
On the walls around the Sealing Gate, Lin Ze found many shooting holes, all aimed at the position in front of the door, it was obvious that there were poisonous crossbow arrows inside, if the door was opened in the wrong way, it would also be attacked.
"There are three rings on the door that can be turned, and each ring is engraved with a number of animal motifs, and this pattern has to be the same as the one carved on the dragon's claw keystone to put the dragon's claw in and rotate it, otherwise it will trigger the trap, which has always been the way we Nords open the door," Ella explained.
Lin Ze took out the dragon claw in the bag, the pattern on it was an eagle, a bear and a wolf from the outside to the inside, he stepped forward to turn the ring himself, and asked Ella and them to retreat, "Click~"
"Boom~" A huge sound came from the sealing door, accompanied by a large amount of dust falling, Lin Ze immediately retreated quickly after turning the dragon claw, but there was no poisonous arrow shot, it seems that the way to open it is right.
As the gate fell little by little, Lin Ze remembered something, they didn't fork the road all the way just now, but they didn't see the few Nords who were captured before, "Those vines won't open the door, right?" ”
Ella immediately understood what Lin Ze meant, "Ventilation tunnels, when we built the city in the belly of the mountain, we would dig the kind of ventilation tunnels that can probably accommodate a person to climb through, it should be ventilation tunnels, and these vines enter and exit through this ventilation tunnel. ”
Lin Ze nodded, and suddenly, his ears moved, and a "Boom" sound came from behind the Sealing Door, "Be careful, those vines are right behind the door!" ”
