Chapter 060: Earthfire Molten City (28)
In the dark dungeon, the stone figurines standing on either side of the central axis of the hall moved slowly, and the dust on their bodies fell with the movement.
"Bell!"
The first strike was strong, and Wei Zede slashed at the nearest stone figurine with a horizontal sword, making a sound of metal clashing.
"Click".
The stone figurines broke in response!
Depending on the situation, these "stone people" have existed for too long, so this scene will happen in front of everyone's eyes.
Seeing this situation, Wei Zede and Li Daoyi no longer hesitated, and they quickly cut all these strange stone figurines into pieces.
Seeing that the crisis seemed to have subsided, Wei Zede quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still full of questions: "Is it really safe?" ”
A few steps forward, Wei Zede squatted next to the broken stone figurines, picked up a stone chip, and examined it.
"Huh? Strange! How is this stone chip sticky? ”
Wei Zede used the "wolf's eye" illumination, turned the stone in his hand and looked at it upside down.
At this time, a transparent silk thread appeared in Wei Zede's field of vision under the illumination of the flashlight, so he glanced up along the silk thread......
"Oh my God! This...... So many spiders?? ”
I saw that under the high dome, it was crowded with dense and huge spiders!
"Run!"
With Wei Zede's loud roar, countless small "rustling" sounds resounded throughout the hall, and the tide of giant spiders climbed down from the dome along the stone pillars that stood in the hall of the underground palace.
Wei Zede, who was holding a long sword, opened the way in front of him, and Li Daoyi, who was dressed in Taoist robes, guarded Liu Kai'an, Liu Ru's father and daughter, and a group of four people spread their legs and ran forward quickly along the central axis of the underground palace hall.
"Quick! There is a gate in front!! ”
Wei Zede, who was at the front of the line, shouted loudly as he swept away several giant spiders in his way with his long sword.
Fortunately, the crowd moved quickly, and before the spiders could close in, they rushed into the gate in front of them without danger.
"Look!"
Liu Ru, who was palpitating, patted her towering chest, and she said in surprise: "Those spiders didn't follow!" ”
When Wei Zede and the others looked back, they saw that the hideous giant spiders had all stopped in front of the gate, and after a few spiders were occasionally squeezed out, they crawled back desperately.
"What's going on?" Several people looked at each other.
The back road was blocked by spiders, leaving everyone with a choice, and there was only one way to move forward.
Behind the gate of the dungeon was a huge void space, and in front of the rescue team, there was only a downward winding ramp with an extremely steep angle.
Calming down, Wei Zede beckoned to the crowd and led them slowly down the steep ramp.
……
Time was ticking, and Weizel and the others had been walking along this seemingly endless ramp.
Gradually, except for the road beneath your feet, only darkness remained.
"Strange!"
Professor Liu Kai'an suddenly whispered, "I don't know if you have noticed...... The direction of this slope seems to be the direction in which we came? ”
“…… According to my estimates, we are now in a position that is out of the confines of the ruins of the Lost City......"
"That is, the top of our heads...... It should be that valley! ”
Hearing Professor Liu Kai'an's speculation, Liu Ru also said out loud: "Yes! And it's all the way down......"
"This way...... Where does it lead? ”
Since there was no other path, the doubtful people could only bite the bullet and continue to walk.
I don't know how long it took, but the rescue team, who had already rested two or three times on the way, finally reached the end of this ramp.
A jade-shaped, glowing green platform appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Wei Zede and the others took a closer look, and there were dozens of stone pillars of different heights erected on this jade platform, one of which was connected to the ramp, and the edges of the other three sides were steep mountain walls that went straight down.
“…… It's a dead end! ”
Li Daoyi's face was not very good-looking, and he whispered to Wei Zede: "It's a big problem!" If we can't find the 'core' of the Lost City and complete the mission, we may be trapped in this mission scenario forever......"
Wei Zede nodded, he took a deep breath and said, "It stands to reason that the system will not issue a 'no-solution task'!" I'm sure there's something hidden here......"
"Look for it again, don't have any sloppiness!"
After a brief exchange, Wei Zede and Li Daoyi continued their search separately.
……
"Wizard! Come here!! ”
Just as Wei Zede was looking at the stone pillar erected on the jade platform, Li Daoyi heard a voice of surprise.
Wei Zede and the others immediately rushed over and looked in the direction of his finger.
I saw that there was a larger platform under the jade platform, but there was a vertical drop of more than seven or eight meters between the two platforms, so everyone did not find it in the first place.
By the light, Wei Zede and the others could clearly see that on the platform below were all kinds of gold and silver utensils, pearls and gems, and diamond chalcedony.
"We've come to the right place!"
There was a hint of excitement in Weized's voice: "This is the treasure of the Lost City......"
The rescue team took out several bundles of climbing ropes from their respective backpacks, braided them into a simple rope ladder, and then wrote down a section of the rope ladder on the two stone pillars of the jade platform, and then Wei Zede and others climbed down one by one.
"Here ......"
After looking at his surroundings, Professor Liu muttered, "This place looks a lot like the scene on the mural of that corridor!" ”
At this time, Liu Ru on the side didn't know what he had touched, and several bonfires burned on this platform one after another, illuminating the surrounding space.
Everyone was startled at first, and then calmed down, Professor Liu Kaian angrily reprimanded: "You girl! It's all such an adult, how can you still be sloppy! ”
"Accident! It's just an accident,......" Liu Ru stuck out her tongue.
"Look! The surrounding environment ...... That bottomless cavern? ”
Li Daoyi's voice rang out again.
In the light of the campfire, they saw a narrow path stretching out from the platform they were on......
Wei Zede looked intently, and saw that this huge cave was surrounded by black rocks, and the platform on which everyone was standing at this time was nothing more than a small cliff, and under the cliff was a round, bottomless giant cave with a radius of about a kilometer, which was exactly the same as the scene painted on the Yongdao murals.
Through the light, everyone can clearly see that the winding path that spirals downward around the bottomless giant cave is like a pattern carved into the mountain wall, extending downward in a circle until it reaches the depths of the giant cave.
Looking at the bottomless giant hole, a powerful and dark sense of oppression rushed towards me! This made everyone feel like they were in a trance......
"Do you mean ......?"
Professor Liu Kai'an said in a suspicious tone: "This will be the bottom of the 'Great Xianbei Mountain'?" ”
