Chapter 56: The Road of the Dead

Adesberg walked up to the statue, and somehow pressed it, took the scripture from the statue's hand, took out a flat object with a pattern on it, and handed it to the crowd to circulate. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"This is the true entrance to the path of the dead." Adesbay gestured to the dark moire wall behind her, "The place we are about to enter is extremely dangerous, and we must find the right route before we can move on. ”

It appeared to be a fragment of some kind of beast bone, irregular shape, with an extremely smooth surface, drawing an incomplete set of patterns.

Liu Minghao looked carefully for a while, and handed the fragment to Jiang Jie beside him, although he didn't have any research on runes, but according to the color and texture on the bone fragment, he could still distinguish the pattern on it, which was very similar to the murals on the four walls.

"You should all see that the pattern on it is actually a certain part of the mural." Adesbay took the bone fragment from Eve's hand and raised his hand to point to the four walls, "According to records, in this hall, there is a map of the path of the dead, but because of the age, it is impossible to determine where the map is stored, and there is a formation covering outside, and the map can only be found if the formation eye is found to disarm the formation." And this bone fragment is the key to open the formation. ”

"It's not a jigsaw puzzle." Jiang Jie lowered his voice and swiped his gaze over the patterns on the four walls, "There are no hints yet, and this is a little more difficult." ”

Liu Minghao nodded slightly, in such a complex pattern, it is not easy to find the location of the missing bone fragment.

However, at this point, they have no choice, and now the path of the dead is their only hope of entering the Tower of Hamna, and the mission time is less than 9 hours, and every second must be counted.

Adesbay explained the situation, and although the group wondered why the map was hidden in such a strange way, they didn't ask much, but immediately dispersed, carefully searching the wall for the eyes of the same pattern as the bone fragments.

Liu Minghao's gaze swept inch by inch over the mural in front of him, while comparing the pattern on the bone fragment, which is a pattern that describes the process of ancient Egyptian sacrificial activities, on which are painted with various sacrificial utensils and portraits wearing intricate clothes, he soon found several patterns similar to bone fragments, but a careful comparison is completely different.

Jiang Jie and the others also continued to discover, but after taking the bone fragments and comparing them, they would immediately find all kinds of differences, and even once Eve found an almost identical pattern and placed the bone fragments on it, but there was no reaction at all, and even Adesbay began to wonder if the formation had become invalid.

At this moment, Jonathan, who had not made a sound, suddenly shouted, pointed to the mural in front of him and said, "I found out, this is the place, it will definitely not be wrong." ”

The crowd followed his fingers, and there was a picture of the sun god receiving worship, and under the hem of the sun god's garment, there were lines that symbolized fire and light, but they had no resemblance to the pattern on the bone shard.

"These two patterns are completely different." Eve frowned at a smug Jonathan.

"You don't understand what I said." Jonathan didn't care about Eve's questioning gaze, reached out and grabbed the bone fragment in Jiang Jie's hand, and raised his hand to approach the pattern, "This is it, listen to me for sure." ”

"Smack." The bone fragment touched the wall, making a soft sound, but there was no vision, the smile on Jonathan's face froze, and he muttered in a low voice that it was impossible, and was about to withdraw his hand, when suddenly his body shook, and an invisible wave of energy suddenly appeared.

Jonathan screamed, his arm bounced up as if he had been electrocuted, and involuntarily staggered backwards, nearly knocking out Eve behind him.

A faint white light immediately appeared on the bone fragment, and in the surprised gaze of everyone, it gradually merged into the wall, and at the moment when the bone fragment completely disappeared, the golden sun wheel above the sun god's head rotated, radiating a dazzling light.

The light expanded rapidly, enveloping the entire hall in an instant.

Liu Minghao only felt that there seemed to be a silent roar in his ears, and there was a slight tremor under his feet, and the whole person seemed to be suspended in the air, and the wind was whistling beside him, and when the light receded, he was already in a huge cave.

The outside of the cave was pitch black, as if it were an endless abyss, and a ray of light shot down from the top of the cave, casting a dark image of mountains and rivers on the ground, and at the bottom of the image, there was a faint white point of light.

"What is this place?" Jonathan was the first to cry out, looked around the cave, and found that the walls around him were inlaid with countless red jade stones the size of a fist, and his eyes immediately lit up, and he was about to pounce, "Haha, I'm going to get rich now." ”

"Don't go over." Adesbay was the first to react, grabbed Jonathan's arm, dragged the person back, and said with an extremely serious expression, "We have entered the range of the entrance to the underworld, if I didn't guess, those things are not jade, they are not worth anything at all." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Jonathan again, and deliberately emphasized, "Everything in the cave, it is best not to touch it at will, no one can predict what will happen." ”

Eve knew Jonathan's temperament very well, although she had always been very bold, but at this time in this dark and gloomy cave, she couldn't help but feel nervous, lest Jonathan be greedy for money and cause more trouble, so she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve to prevent him from moving around at will.

Jonathan seemed to be intimidated by Adesbay's seriousness, but this time he did not resist, and looked at the huge red gems on the wall unwillingly, and followed Eve honestly.

Except for Jonathan, everyone's attention was focused on the projection in the center of the cave, and seeing the scene in front of him, Liu Minghao understood the meaning of Adesbay to find the right route before he could move forward.

The Road of the Dead is not actually a road, but a kind of synonym, and the space in front of you is very vast, with mountains and no bounds.

"This is only a partial projection of the path of the dead." Adesbay pointed to the white dot of light above, "This is where we are now. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the black area above the image, "This large area belongs to the entrance to the underworld, which is extremely dangerous, we must stay away, and we must not approach." ”

At this time, Liu Minghao noticed that in the image, almost all areas were covered with black, and only a very small part near the lower right corner was glowing with a faint red light.

"This is the fork in the road to the Tower of Hamna." Adesbay noticed Liu Minghao's gaze and drew a line with his finger in the red area.

Liu Minghao frowned slightly, indicating that the point of light in the cave was in the black area, and if they wanted to go to the Hamna Tower, they had to pass through the black area.

It would obviously take a lot of time to pass through the edge of the black zone according to the route pointed out by Adesbay, and it was obviously not feasible for them to have only eight hours left after the system was fully timed.

The shortest route is to cross the dark area and go directly into the Hamna Tower, which is at least two-thirds shorter and saves a lot of time.

"That's too far away." Liu Minghao shook his head and drew a straight line from the white point of light representing the cave to the red area representing the Hamna Tower, "Let's go from here, directly over this mountain, and we can enter the range of the Hamna Tower." ”

"It's too dangerous." Adesbay shook his head and frowned, "Maybe you haven't understood what the entrance to the underworld means, the closer you get to the entrance, the richer the necromantic qi becomes, there will be many powerful necromantic monsters, even the weakest of them is several times stronger than the sand monsters, and we can't handle it at all." ”

"Even if it's dangerous, we have to break through." Liu Minghao and Jiang Jie glanced at each other, turned their heads to look at Adesbay, and raised their hands to draw along the edge of the image, "If you follow this route, it will take at least a day to reach Hamna Tower." Now that Immorton has obtained the Black Sutra of the Undead, and can also use the resurrection pool to attract the power of the Netherworld to block Hamnata, it is obvious that his strength has been greatly improved, and the longer it drags on, the stronger his strength will be, and it will be even more impossible to kill him when the time comes. ”

"We have been delayed for a long time, and we must get to Hamna Tower as soon as possible to stop Immorton and resurrect Ansuna to gain the Nether Power." Jiang Jie also echoed, "With the bone talisman that covers the breath, as long as you are careful, it should not cause the attack of the undead, if you really encounter danger, with the holy weapon in your hand to restrain the power of the undead, we can escape even if we don't have the power to fight, although it is a bit risky, but it is worth a try." ”

The time limit of the system is like a bomb hanging over the heads of the two people at all times, and the situation is unknown at the moment, and the white-haired man will definitely assist Immorton in preparing for the response, waiting for them to fall into the net, so he must leave as much time as possible to deal with it, and naturally the less time delayed on the road, the better.

Adesbay was also concerned about Immorton, and couldn't help but show hesitation, and his wandering gaze inadvertently swept over Jonathan who was circling around.

Several people gathered in front of the projection, discussing the plan of action, and no one noticed, Johnason took advantage of their lack of attention to secretly pry off a fist-sized gem and hide it on his body, and then walked back as if nothing happened.

Receiving Adesbell's gaze, Jonathan was a thief, fearing that his small movements would be noticed, so he walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "As the saying goes, wealth is in danger, and I think they are right, it is always better to arrive early than late." ”

"I'm also in favor of shortening." O'Connaya, who had been silent, interjected, although he didn't know about Liu Minghao and Jiang Jie's concerns, but the fact that Eve was chosen as a sacrifice and could be in danger of her life at any time made him rush to Hamna Tower to remove the threat.

Seeing that both of them agreed with Liu Minghao's opinion, Adesbay no longer insisted on what he had seen, and everyone quickly agreed on a specific plan of action, and left the cave and entered the vast mountains shrouded in darkness.
