Chapter 82
Under the flickering light of the fire, the huge and deep crypt is almost like the hideous maw of an ancient giant beast, ready to devour all creatures who dare to challenge. ~Top Novel,
No one knows when this huge project was built. But this grandeur and shock cannot be questioned.
For it was as if the whole belly of the mountain was about to be hollowed out, and the underground palaces were made of huge stones, and the huge, hideous statues that stood on both sides, and occasionally you could see on both sides of the hewn rock wall a platform like a stretcher, on which lay a dried corpse tightly wrapped in a shroud.
Looking closely, according to this density and scale, it is estimated that there are at least tens of thousands of dried corpses in the entire Hanluo Temple, but this should not be a burial, but a common cemetery for the ancient Nords, as long as a person dies, it will be made into a dried corpse and sent in.
But it is precisely because of this that in the crypt in the belly of this mountain, the abundance of burial goods is unimaginable, just open a funeral urn, you can find a few gold coins, if you are lucky, you can also find some good quality white weapons, or some gems, the most precious, is the soul stone.
Lin Yuan, Old Jack, and Barrel Myne all searched carefully while walking, and they didn't let go of every corner, so they also gained a lot along the way, only the white gray man and the shield man were nervous, because since they heard that this was the Cold Fall Temple, they knew that they might have taken the wrong path, and they really shouldn't be greedy for digging that hidden task, but who would have thought that in the past, they could wantonly dig out the hidden mission. A way to gain world development and finally win more rewards for clearing the level. Now it's a trap!
Undoubtedly, the best thing they should do now is either to get out quickly. Return to the Blackwater fork from the same road, and then take a detour back to the novice village of Ximu, where they may be able to find a way to break the curse of the Queen of the Wolfheart, but the road has little chance.
And the other way is to speed up, catch up, and kill the crow ghost woman, naturally there is a great chance to lift this curse, but. The two of them alone will definitely not be able to do it.
But Lin Yuan and the three seemed to be delaying time as much as possible.
"Hey, three, why don't we speed things up? The underground area of this Coldfall Temple is extremely huge, and those people are running in front of it, if they join their companions, or seal the passage in front, or lay traps or something, wouldn't we be very passive? ”
The white gray man finally couldn't help but speak.
"Isn't it dangerous to go faster? Youngster. Calm down! Old Jack squinted his eyes and glanced at the white gray man with bad intentions, because the three of them were in different positions with the white gray man, so they looked at the problem from different angles.
Right now. The three of them can already be sure that they are all Guardians, so correspondingly, there will be three Destroyers. That is, lame Dawa, a sword man. and the Qiusha who came back from the dead.
But is it just the six of them?
Not necessarily. You know, the six of them were originally assigned to the side of the Destruction Camp, so at least in Ximu Town, there may be three Guardians, as well as three Destroyers who hide their identities.
So you can know how difficult the endless pursuit mission is this time.
And the most troublesome thing is that since the destruction camp has a 51% advantage in the chaos base, there may be any guardian who chooses to join the destruction camp, such as the dragon knight in the city of hope, which is an unavoidable variable.
Therefore, even at this moment, Lin Yuan, Old Jack, and Barrel Myne are all on guard against each other, and it is absolutely impossible to really believe in each other.
"Well, don't worry too much, I'm just like you, I've endured 20% of the curse of the Queen of Wolfheart, but I can guarantee that in addition to the dragon Alduin and the crow ghost woman, there is still one person who can help us lift this curse for the time being, and that is the proprietress of the Sleeping Giant Hotel in Ximu Town, and we are waiting for the main plot to open, believe me, this ghostly place, it won't be long before it becomes very lively! At that time, perhaps you will have many opportunities to make amends for your mistakes. ”
Lin Yuan explained lightly, the white gray man and the shield man are still very valuable at this moment, and they can't be let go.
Next, the five of them searched all the way forward, but the underground building of the Hanluo Temple was too big, as if it had hollowed out the entire mountainside, and from time to time a fork in the road would pop up, and various traps were also endless, and occasionally there would be alienated ghouls drilled out, although these were all F-class ghouls, but they couldn't stand it, this atmosphere was too eerie and weird, making people's hairs stand on end.
Lin Yuan, Old Jack, and Barrel Myne no longer had any communication, everyone seemed to be thinking about something, and they looked absent-minded, while the lame Dawa who retreated before, the sword man, the Qiu Sha who came back from the dead, and the forensic man who was suspected of being a crow ghost woman pretending to be a ghost woman, were completely nowhere to be seen, and they didn't know which way they went, and they couldn't see any traces.
After at least ten kilometers of advancement, another magnificent and huge underground palace appeared in front of Lin Yuan and others, but at the end of this palace, it was blocked by a huge iron door, and on the iron door, there was a semicircular arch pattern, and in the middle of the pattern was a keyhole, which presented five holes, just like the five claws of something.
"Tsk, this should be the famous Golden Dragon Claw level, without the Golden Dragon Claw, no one can get through." Old Jack smiled at this time, as if intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Lin Yuan. This old guy didn't know why, and from the very beginning, he had been observing and paying attention to Lin Yuan.
"Golden Dragonclaw? Yes, we have heard of it in the chaotic space, but it is said that the golden dragon claw is only unique, and it has never been obtained by the protagonist dragonborn, but the strange thing is that one hundred and twenty years ago, I don't know what happened, the golden dragon claw was completely lost, and the result is that in the world of the Elder Scrolls, the main plot about the dragonborn has been hovering between Ximu Town and Snow Man City, and the protagonist dragonborn can't enter the secret room of the Cold Fall Temple because he can't get the golden dragon claw, and he can't get the dragon stone, If you can't absorb the power runes, you won't be able to become a real dragonborn, you won't be summoned by Graybeard, and you won't be noticed by the blade warriors, so as long as you get to Snow City, you will be killed, and then, in the next endless pursuit mission, the protagonist Dragonborn will be resurrected and revisit the plot of Helgen and Ximu Town. ”
The white gray man said at this time, and it could be seen that when he was in the Chaos Base, he had collected a lot of information about the Elder Scrolls mission world.
And the shield man also looked at Lin Yuan and the three of them with a look of surprise at this time, and said tentatively: "I have also heard about this, it is said that the truth is that a few very mysterious and powerful teams have monopolized the high-end tasks of the Elder Scrolls world, so they continue to intercept and kill the protagonist Dragonborn, and prevent the Dragonborn protagonist from growing up, just to monopolize this world space, and at the same time, it is also to cultivate and copy their own Dragonborn, compared to them, we are really too vegetable." ”
Hearing the words of the white and gray men, Old Jack and Barrel Myne were expressionless, but Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I don't know about others, anyway, I'm just a small character, and I have nothing to do with those mysterious and powerful teams, so now, what should we do next?" ”
Lin Yuan's last sentence was to ask Old Jack and the barrel Myne.
"Of course, it's to return to Ximu Town, unless you have the Golden Dragon's Claw, there's no point in staying here." The barrel Myne shook his red nose and said lightly.
"What? Why return to Creekwood? Three gentlemen, what are you playing dumb puzzles? The shield man asked in surprise.
"Of course it's back to Brookwood Town, haven't you noticed? It's a shortcut, if we don't take the underground palace of the Coldfall Temple, we will have to climb an entire mountain and have to take a long detour to reach Ximu Town, but now it will take us less than half a day to reach Ximu Town. Barrel Myne replied coldly.
"But, but, in that case, isn't what we did before meaningless, we, we're just taking a shortcut, it's as simple as that?" The shield man obviously couldn't accept it for a while, but he didn't expect them to go around in a big circle, and finally they had to return to Ximu Town.
But at this time, no one paid any attention to him, because around this huge palace, there were at least a dozen forks in the road, and there were dense footsteps, and chirping ghoul cries, and the number of them was very large.
"Looks like our old adversary is finally holding it back, Mr. Aveda, have you forgotten something, or are you still hiding something from us?" The old Jack asked Lin Yuan again.
"Is there one? I hope so! ”
Lin Yuan smiled, still pretending to be confused, he did have the golden dragon claw in his hand, which was the only key to open the most important main quest in the Elder Scrolls quest world, but how could he simply take it out?
I don't know if this old Jack guessed something, or saw something, and he always knocked on the side.
"Retreat, we must rush back to Ximu Town as soon as possible, this cold falling temple, it won't be long before it will turn into a sea of ghouls."
Lin Yuan said loudly again, now it is obvious that those few destroyers have played their old ways again, the virus has invaded, and all the corpses of countless ancient Nords in the Hanluo Temple have become ghouls, and finally gathered into an army of ghouls, which will not only soon be able to block the entire Hanluo Temple, but also may impact the novice village Ximu Town.
A few people didn't dare to stay at this time, but fortunately, although there were many forks in the Hanluo Temple, the most important fork in the road, that is, the one that led to Ximu Town, was the most obvious one that was taken by the protagonist of the plot, Dragonborn, and there was no need to worry about getting lost.
And the three destroyers, the lame Dawa, the stabbing sword man, and the Qiusha, obviously had no intention of entanglement, because they should be busy cooperating with the crow ghost woman at the moment to create a ghoul army.
So this is also the real reason why they retreated in a hurry before. (To be continued......)
