Chapter 10: The Mystery of the Treasure
The black corridor resembles an entrance to hell, and the faintly glowing runes in it resemble ghosts wandering in the air. It makes people fear from the bottom of their hearts, but they occupy all the places in the field of vision, and there is nowhere to hide, nowhere to escape. The breeze that came out of nowhere, with the sound of rustling, surrounded it from all directions, like a monster hidden in the darkness, ready to pounce at any moment. Everything around them was the same, but since the strange scene of beating Zhou He, Xiao Chen and Luo Ling had a feeling of being trapped in a nightmare.
However, they are too tired, too tired. All that can be done is to sit there back to back and allow the overdrawn body and nerves to recover.
After a long time, Luo Ling suddenly remembered something, got up and squatted in front of Xiao Chen and asked, "That white light, in fact, has a lot of shining on you, how do you feel?"
Xiao Chen leaned against the fluorescence emitted by the runes on the wall, looked at his hand over and over, and said, "That light was like a needle poking, I remember that my upper body and arms hurt badly at that time, but now I don't seem to have any obvious feelings, maybe it's because my body was on the periphery of light at that time, right?"
"If you're going to be crazy, you'd better let me know in advance. ”
"Let you escape?"
"It's not. She smiled, stood up, walked to the door to the main hall, and looked at the stone statue from afar, "If you're going to turn into a monster too." My best between, I'm afraid, is to pay homage to that stone statue right away, and let it emit another white light, so that I can become like you. ”
"What stupid thing are you talking about, you should just turn around and run. ”
"What if we can't get out? I don't want to starve to death in front of a monster. It might be better to make yourself one of the same kind. Luo Ling turned around and looked at Xiao Chen calmly and said this. Xiao Chen looked directly at her big bright eyes, and suddenly felt an impulse, feeling that if he turned into a monster and couldn't control it to hurt the girl in front of him, it was better to quickly crash to death on the stone wall.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Even if something happens, you can hold on. Moreover, although that power is frightening, it is not necessarily uncontrollable. Xiao Chen pointed to his head, "You go to the school and ask, who doesn't say that I, Xiao Chen, am reliable." ”
"I never had to rely on anyone to survive. Luo Ling smiled slightly, "The only one who can be relied on is herself." ”
This sentence made Xiao Chen vaguely feel a kind of confidence with a slight sadness, and he wanted to say something to make a statement, but suddenly heard a sound of footsteps in the distance.
Rustling...... Rustling......
Both saw each other's faces tense with nervousness.
Rustling...... Rustling...... The footsteps were not fast, but they struck on the hearts of both of them like drumsticks. In this place where strange events have just taken place, voices come from unknowable darkness, whatever it is, and it is terrifying.
"Zhou He?" Luo Ling said in a very light voice in Xiao Chen's ear.
"Definitely not, if it's a teleportation array, there's no need to spread it around in this underground palace, right?" Xiao Chen said in a low voice, "No matter what it is, hide and talk about it." ”
He hurriedly pulled Luo Ling and hid around a corner. He pressed against the wall, his ears discerning distant sounds, and the berserker's throwing axe in his hand. The footsteps were still walking at the same rhythm, getting closer, closer and closer. Gradually, a shadow rose from the stone wall opposite, swaying and swaying back and forth with the sound of footsteps, twisting at various strange angles.
Suddenly, the footsteps stopped, and the shadow stopped there. Then the shadows flickered, as if looking left and right.
Xiao Chen was about to take a look. Suddenly found that his right arm was pulled and it hurt a little, he turned his head to look, only to find that it was Luo Ling who was pinching his arm tightly, and his nails were going to be cut into the flesh. Why is this girl getting more and more timid, he patted her hand gently, Luo Ling came to her senses, looked at him a little embarrassed, and let go of her hand.
At this moment, a young man's voice came from outside: "Is there anyone?" It was quite standard Mandarin, Xiao Chen and Luo Ling looked at each other, and finally let out a sigh of relief.
Xiao Chen quietly took a look at the probe, but immediately gasped, Luo Ling hurriedly poked her head out to look, the scene in front of her made her face suddenly red, and said in an exaggerated tone: "Wow!"
Not far ahead, it was not a demon or a ghost, but a man, a man who was wearing nothing.
———————————————————————
Xiao Chen looked at the young man with his shirt wrapped around his waist and his upper body bare. He is ordinary-looking, and he belongs to the people who are not outstanding. His eyes were small, his skin was dark, and his eyebrows were somewhat sparse, but in all there was nothing striking about him except that the edges and corners were fairly distinct. However, the body is completely different, the medium to tall person is the standard inverted triangle body shape, as if he has been trained to be fit, and every place up and down is strong muscles, not generally strong. Xiao Chen is compared to him like a hemp stalk compared to a tree stump.
"Think about it again?" Xiao Chen looked at the other party seriously, as if he wanted to find out something famous from his godless eyes.
"I forgot. The young man still gave him this answer, he glanced at Xiao Chen a little blankly, and repeated, "I really forgot." ”
"I only remember that my name is Liu Yisheng, my age, my identity, and I don't remember how I came here. He must have really lost his memory, probably hit his head in the earthquake. Luo Ling interjected on the side.
"But he couldn't be better all over his body, and he couldn't see that he had knocked over his head. Xiao Chen said with a frown.
"Maybe it didn't happen, or maybe they were strong enough. ”
"It's sturdy. Xiao Chen was a little jealous when he looked at this figure, and asked helplessly, "Then what do you remember?"
"I remember...... I've been walking and walking, figuring out my way there. ”
"Didn't you meet the Armored Warrior?"
The other party shook his head, obviously not knowing what Xiao Chen was talking about.
"Forget it. And then?"
"I asked, 'Is there anyone?' as I walked, and before anyone could find it, I found a room with a lot of boxes, and then I heard a loud noise, so I walked slowly. ”
"The room where you put your stuff?" the two decided to go and see what was going on.
———————————————————————
Xiao Chen and Luo Ling followed Liu Yisheng to that room. What surprised him was that although Liu Yisheng had amnesia and looked a little chaotic, he remembered the road clearly in the labyrinth-like dungeon, and they walked for a long time in the tunnel with thousands of twists and turns before they came to a stone room.
The three of them stepped on the rubble on the ground and walked to the door of the room, and found that the stone room had a door. The door is made of a whole piece of metal, thick and heavy, the workmanship is very elegant, but only one person is allowed to pass through, in addition to the patterns used for decoration, there are many strange runes flickering, it can be seen that this place is originally tightly protected, but no matter how powerful the protection is not the opponent of nature, the earthquake directly made the gate fall to the ground.
"Right here. Liu Yisheng took the lead and walked in, Xiao Chen and Luo Ling followed cautiously, but when they saw the things in the room behind the door, they exclaimed in unison: "Treasure room?!"
I saw that there were dozens of large and small boxes in this room, placed on the ground and wooden shelves around the room, and several boxes had fallen to the ground and smashed open, and the things that fell out of them reflected the whole room brightly. Gold coins, jewels, and sumptuous utensils tumbled to the ground, competing to glow with a blood-pumping glow. But what is even more strange is that there is a gorgeous sarcophagus in the corner of the room, and there are countless runes on it, but the sarcophagus has fallen to the ground and broken into two pieces, and it can be seen that there are all kinds of gold and silver scattered in it.
There are not many people who can calmly deal with the wealth that falls from the sky, not to mention the maze, secret room, treasure and other plots that can only be found in movies suddenly fall on his head? Xiao Chen felt that his heart was beating faster than when he was chasing Zhou He before. However, the strange sarcophagus made him dare not act rashly. He slowly moved to the edge of the sarcophagus and took a picture of it with his phone, "Whew, no one." ”
"Well, there is no trace of the corpse at all, it is an empty coffin, and it is estimated that the owner has not had time to use it. Luo Ling also came over.
Xiao Chen picked up two gold coins from the ground and checked them, put them in front of him to look at them carefully, and said happily: "Haha, heavy enough, heavy enough." ”
Luo Ling didn't care about him, and picked up a necklace by herself, the sapphire on the necklace stone was the size of a pigeon's egg, and it refracted a crystal light under the rune fluorescence, printing her face a light purple. Then she found a gemstone brooch in the shape of a butterfly, with different gemstones on each wing.
Just when the two of them were picking east and west, looking west, and were excited, Liu Yisheng's curious voice came: "What are these things, what are you happy about?" ”
Xiao Chen turned his head to look at Liu Yisheng in astonishment, pointed to a gold bar in his hand and asked, "You don't even know what this is?"
"I forgot about it...... Liu Yisheng replied aggrievedly, "I came in and saw these, and I always felt that they were useless." But I know I can't eat these, you see I've bitten this piece, and I can't chew it. He picked up a gold bar from the ground with a clear tooth mark on it.
"You're so good, you're not afraid of breaking your teeth!" Xiao Chen looked at the iron-toothed gentleman in front of him, and wondered whether he had amnesia or was completely stupid. I've never heard of people with amnesia who can't even tell what they can eat.
Liu Yisheng frowned and looked at Xiao Chen very seriously, and saw that Luo Ling was busy choosing jewelry everywhere, and suddenly patted his head and said, "I know." There must be a reason why you value these things so much! They can exchange them for food! Isn't it!" He eagerly grabbed Xiao Chen's arms and shook him and asked.
"Uh, don't get excited...... Yes, yes. ”
"Can you really change food?!" Liu Yisheng looked at Xiao Chen in surprise, then snatched the bitten gold bar, stuffed it around his waist, and then announced very seriously: "The one who sees it has a share, I want one-third." ”
"You...... Is there any amnesia?"
Xiao Chen carefully inspected the boxes in the room, and he found that most of the large boxes on the lower floor were full of gold, silver and jewelry, while many smaller boxes and boxes on the shelves contained some well-made and strangely styled weapons, armor, and accessories. And it seems that the higher the box, the more delicate the things that come out.
For example, the short sword he was holding now was taken from the two boxes on the top of the shelf, the blade was only a little more than a foot long, but it was very weighty, and the blade was light red. The door was covered with runes that resembled seal characters.
Xiao Chen played with the short sword, trying to distinguish the runes on it, and suddenly he felt as if his spirit was attracted by the short sword. Then he felt a mysterious power burst out from inside the dagger.
The fire flickered, and the dagger burned.
