Chapter 55: Seeking
Deep underground, deep in the central hall of the pyramid, it was originally dark, illuminated only by the torches in the hands of the sailors. As the battle continued, torches from the hands of some sailors were scattered on the floor of the hall, and the dim light of the fire cast a hazy orange hue over the hall.
When Raphael and the others entered the hall, they were being pursued by pirates, so they didn't have much time to explore the hall. What's more, at a glance from this central hall, except for the stone platform in the middle, the surrounding area is empty, and there are no bronze statues of Anubis in the labyrinth, which is not very eye-catching.
The pharaoh's coffin on the stone platform had sunk into the hidden compartment of the stone platform long before everyone entered, and the diamond-shaped gem that was originally suspended above the coffin was also missing at this time.
The slight vibration from the pyramid made the three hostile parties change color a little, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look around and observe the surrounding situation. This pyramid is really a bit weird, even a powerful third-order transfer person like Thorn would not dare to ignore the arrangement of the mechanism in it, especially since Thorn has no recovery items in his hand.
As the shaking continued, the dust of the surrounding stone walls poured down, and the hall was covered in a layer of gray color, and the whole hall looked even more mysterious and unusual under the light of the torches. In addition to some stone carvings and star symbols, the stone wall of the hall has a small stone trough protruding from the surface of the stone wall at intervals.
At first glance, these small stone troughs look like lampstands, and there are still some powdery things left in the recesses. If you put a wick in a stone trough and add oil to it, it can be used as a lampstand. Because there were not many other abnormalities in the hall, Xu Mo's attention quickly focused on these "lampstands".
Through careful observation, Xu Mo found that these stone troughs should not be used as lampstands. The reason is simple, these stone troughs have small gaps in the edges, and if they are filled with lamp oil, they are afraid that they will flow to the ground.
"Hey, it's windy!" Wood, who had extremely keen perception, suddenly frowned, raised his hand and sensed it carefully.
"Wind?" Xu Mo suddenly realized that he had overlooked a key issue, and immediately looked down at the floor of the hall.
The floor of the central hall is no different from the dark rooms of the underground labyrinth, with high edges and slightly lower middles, and the whole is presented as a concave surface, like a large stone cauldron. In some places, there are small canals that are no more than two fingers wide, just like the corridors outside.
The wind, the notched stone trough, the small ditch, and the ground shaped like a stone pot, Xu Mo seemed to have a bright light flashing in front of him, and his face suddenly turned blue, and he suddenly raised his head and stared at the stone trough on the wall.
"Shen Mo, take everyone out of the way you came, Caesar will show you the way, and this place will soon become a place of death!" Xu Mo tore off the necklace from his neck and threw it to Max, turned his head and ordered, "Extinguish the torch, run, run, now, right away!" ”
“BOSS? Admiral? Alfred? The members of the old K-group, Christina, Raphael and others looked at Xu Mo in a daze, and their reactions were different.
"It's an order!" Xu Mo's eyes erupted with fire, and a green tendon was erect on his neck, and he roared.
"Let's go!" Shen Mo gritted his teeth, threw the torch on the ground, extinguished it with one foot, and took the lead in leading the members of the old K Regiment to the corridor from which the hall came.
"Admiral, if you don't catch up later, whether it's an order or not, I'll be back!" Christina glanced at Xu Mo deeply, shook the red ponytail behind her head, and turned to leave.
"Deputy Commander, they're going to run!" The summoner of the Temple of Gods flashed his eyes and quickly reminded him.
"Hmph, that sea tyrant didn't run, and the others don't matter. What's more, even if they had a map, it would take at least half an hour to get out of the maze! Time is enough for us! Thorn smiled coldly, walked steadily towards Xu Mo, and the figure slowly melted into the surrounding darkness, "You keep an eye on Katarina, don't let her run away, I will deal with the tyrant of the sea!" ”
"Katerina, what are we going to do?" Sando asked, frowning.
Blakeney, take care! Caterina glanced at Blakeney, who was retreating on the other side, silently blessed in her heart, and then gritted her teeth, "Let's take another road, and when we get back to the Ribbel, we will settle accounts with these Venetian bastards!" ”
"If you want to run, you have to agree to it!" The summoner of the Temple of the Gods looked disdainful and followed slowly with the other five people, and as for the thorn, they were not worried.
Thorn is not only a third-order transferor, but also an agile assassin with the strongest attack and action among them. If he loses to his opponent in a heads-up situation, he will not be able to become the deputy head of the Temple of the Gods at all.
What's more, agile class transfers all have one thing in common, that is, once their strength exceeds that of their companions too much, others will not be able to keep up with their attack rhythm at all, and they will not be able to form a tacit understanding with each other, but will hinder each other, just like Xu Mo could not integrate into the team at the beginning.
"You're here?" Xu Mo stood still in place like a stone statue, slowly opened his eyes, and stared at the thin man in a black power suit in front of him.
A hint of surprise flashed in his piercing and sharp eyes, "You're so sure you can defeat me?" ”
“…… From the moment you stay to face me alone, my victory is predestined! Xu Mo showed a weird smile.
"Haha, are you Vikings so arrogant?" Thorn tilted his head and laughed disappreciatively, but his eyes staring at Xu Mo were still calm and cold.
As a third-order transfer who has been through a hundred battles, Thorn has experienced too many bloody battles and death battles, and for him, the verbal provocation and design are simply insignificant. If it weren't for his determination that Xu Mo had neither terrain advantage nor other means of self-help in the hall, he wouldn't even have half a word of nonsense.
"Whether it's hubris or not, you'll find out soon!" Xu Mo chuckled faintly and pinched the short spear in his hand, "Let's start!" ”
"Good! When you die at my hands, I will bury your body and give you the respect you deserve! Thorn pursed his lips and took a few steps sideways, the figure melting into the darkness again.
After Xu Mo hid his body from the thorn, he closed his eyes again, relying on the weak vigilance of perception to guard against the sudden attack of the thorn.
"Left side!" Xu Mo opened his eyes suddenly, and the short spear in his hand poked out like a poisonous dragon, and the sharp spear head hissed in the air.
"Ding!" With the crisp sound of metal colliding, Xu Mo's body was like being struck by lightning, "Teng, Teng, Teng!" He took a few steps back before he regained his footing, the short spear in his hand trembling slightly, and his arm was numb.
"Your strength is not bad, almost as close as I am. However, you must know that sometimes speed is also a type of power! "There was a stinging, shrill metal sound on all sides of the hall.
"Ding, ding, ding......" Xu Mo didn't care about replying, took a deep breath, and the metal short spear bloomed in front of him with a lotus-shaped silver light, intertwined with the oncoming cold light, making a pleasant sound like a chime.
"Whew!" There was a slight tearing sound from Xu Mo's ribs. The young man's face showed a look of pain, and he took a big jump and broke away from the battle circle.
"Hmph, now you understand, the gap between me and you?" The hidden thorn did not chase after him, nor did he show up, but only coldly sarcastic.
Xu Mo stretched out his hand and touched his ribs, bared his teeth in pain, and when he opened his hand, he saw that his palms were already full of blood. However, there was no disappointment on the young man's face, and he lowered his head and muttered, "The time should be almost up!" ”
"It's almost, I've had enough, it's time to send you on your way!" In the void in front of Xu Mo, a little bright light lit up, stabbing at the young admiral like lightning.
In the time just now, the thorn had already tested Xu Mo's general strength, and he didn't plan to delay it any longer. There was a vague doubt in his heart that could not be erased, and the sooner he dealt with this tyrant of the sea, he could free up his hands to catch up with his other companions and deal with other emergencies.
"Hey, hey!" Xu Mo raised his head, looked at the bright silver light, and showed a cruel smile.
The silver light stabbed Xu Mo's body like a drill, like a small stone thrown into a stream, completely shattering the young man's body, as if it had hit an ethereal illusion.
"Phantom? Are you a reincarnation of X-space?! In the next moment, a stinging and angry roar sounded in the hall, and at the same time, there seemed to be a deep doubt in the roar.
In fact, it's no wonder that the reincarnation and the reincarnation are under ordinary circumstances, as long as they fight, both sides can immediately recognize the identity of the enemy. The reason is also very simple, everyone has a real-time battle screen, and in the soul mark, regardless of whether the attack and defense are successful or not, the identity of the reincarnation can be confirmed from the law data.
People who can't confirm their identities with the help of law data are either plot characters, or this kind of reincarnation uses the laws of the world that the two dimensions can't identify. And Xu Mo is precisely the latter kind of person, in the battle just now, he has always used the inheritance martial arts of the Predator, and part of his strength law belongs to the high-end time and space-fairy sword world.
The combination of these two world laws not only makes Y-space inaccurate, but even X-space is equally blurry, so it also leads to the blurring of most of the data from the opponent in the treacherous battle screen, making him always mistakenly think that Xu Mo is a plot character in the era of sea power.
"Hmph, do you think you'll be able to defeat me by stalling for time and waiting for my men to go away?" A hint of anger appeared in the stinging eyes.
"No, your strength is indeed above me, I don't have this idea!" Xu Mo's ethereal voice resounded in the hall.
"You are also an agile assassin, judging from your strength, you must be the best in X-space!" Feeling the movement around him, his pupils shrank into a needle, and the worry in his heart deepened, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" ”
"Hehe, haven't you been looking for me all the time?" After using smoke to dodge the treacherous ultimate move just now, Xu Mo used Ysera's dream and stealth to hide himself. Now the conversation between him and the two people made the empty hall even more weird, "I am the leader of the old K regiment - old K, the chief thinker of your temple of gods, the black-eyed Ruth died in my hands!" ”
