Chapter 190: A wave has just calmed down, and a wave has risen again
Underneath the temple, after the passage of the tomb, outside the door of the Bracelet of Death.
Because Xiao Lan's message was left in place, Eve and the others finally waited for the return of the two with a shocked face.
In fact, Xiao Lan's departure time was very short, and it only added up to nearly half a minute, but this time was a little abusive to Eve.
They first listened in horror to the crackling sound of chopping wood for four or five seconds, and then the dead silence made them relax for a while and then became afraid, and then there was a sound like a large beetle crawling over, which finally magnified the fear in the hearts of human beings to the limit.
Luckily, they came back in time.
"Why are you so nervous? Nothing happened, right? ”
Just looking at these tense emotions with the vision of energy vision, Xiao Lan, who had a playful face, immediately teased after walking out of the passage.
And seeing them appear, Eve immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank God, you guys are finally back......"
In contrast, O'Connor replied angrily with a roll of his eyes, "It's nothing, but if you come back a little later, I guess someone will be uncontrollable and start screaming......"
They wouldn't have made a fuss about it, Eve was the caretaker of the place three thousand years ago, Jonathan slept in a coffin with the mummy, and O'Connor was already scared when he escaped from the Tower of Hamna...... But after a journey of resurrection and hunting for the mummies, without those two awesome characters by their side, they suddenly felt that everything was not safe.
But now that they've returned. Then the problem is no longer a problem.
"The stuff over there has been settled, and the next door can be opened...... There shouldn't be any situation this time, right? ”
Lightly brushing aside the act of cutting down those mummies in less than half a minute, Xiao Lan went straight to the point, and this is also Zheng Zhe and his real wish at the moment-
Although it is not necessary, it is better to determine the characteristics of the Bracelet of Death as soon as possible.
And Eve, though amazed by their efficiency, did not stop her from opening the last door...... She had been standing by the door, which had turned from golden to black by the passage of time, and was looking forward to what would happen to her in the past three thousand years.
Grab the key on the door with the carved scarab on it and pull it out gently. Rotate in the order of "two squares to the right, three squares to the right, and six squares to the left". Then press it inward to return to its original position.
Three thousand years ago, Nafidi did the same action many times, and now the reincarnated Eve is still unfamiliar with it, pressing back to its original place with the polygon key. The ancient combination lock, which had been blocked for three thousand years, snapped open, and the heavy door opened by a force.
There were no surprises, no moving mummies, no resurrected corpses, just a smell of antiquity that had been sealed for thousands of years.
Under the light of the torch in O'Connor's hand, the space inside was instantly unobstructed—
The most striking thing is one of the glyph discs, which, after stroking away the cobwebs, reveals a heraldic scorpion carved with it, and it is still shining golden.
"This is the coat of arms of the Scorpion Emperor, who is considered a fictional character in modern research. No records have been found, no prehistoric artifacts or documents ......" and stroking the carvings on the coat of arms, Eve tells the modern archaeological understanding of the Scorpion King as a scholar.
But as soon as the previous sentence fell, she immediately gave an explanation as an ancient princess: "Of course, the reason is that we don't want him to be found." The act of erasing the traces of his history was presided over by me personally. ”
The intersection of the ancient and the modern feels strange, but no one is paying attention to these details at the moment.
O'Connor looked indifferent to avoid suspicion, Jonathan was drooling over the golden disc, and Xiao Lan had already consciously removed the key from the statue next to him, and was about to open the box placed under the golden disc—inside was the Bracelet of Death.
However, before he could do so, Eve, who was standing on the side, stopped him from making any further moves.
"Wait! There was a curse on the box...... "Block Xiao Lan's outstretched hand." Eve blew away the dust covering the chest and read a mantra from it: "Whoever disturbs the peace of the bracelet will drink the water of the Nile." ”
Then she continued, "This is actually the arrangement that I supervised for the priest to do, and once the chest is opened or moved, it will trigger, and it will be flooded by the Nile in three seconds......"
"John, it's okay for you to open the box, but is there a way to keep us from drowning?"
Regarding this question that everyone raised twelve points of attention, Xiao Lan in the focus position gave a very satisfactory answer.
"Peace of mind, everything is under control." Taking out the Black Sutra of the Undead that he had put away from the spatial ring, he turned the ancient metal book to one of the pages, "There is a "Underwater Breathing" here, and a more advanced "Imperial Thaumaturgy"...... Not to mention being drowned, it's no problem to get out without your clothes getting wet. ”
In this way, Eve, who has no worries, is completely relieved, and Xiao Lan finally got her wish.
According to the action in the movie, he opened this other combination lock with a small key, and he clearly saw a large gold bracelet in the box, on which was a hideous scorpion statue, with rough and simple workmanship and both form and spirit.
"Bracelet of Death......
Whispering the name of the bracelet, Xiao Lan picked it up from the box without the slightest hesitation, and had already determined that he would complete this branch route, so he naturally took the lead.
And as soon as his hand touched the bracelet, the solemn voice of the "Lord God" suddenly came as scheduled.
"Complete the side story in advance to get the story item Death Bracelet. Get 6,000 bonus points, count one B-level side story, and bring a bracelet to trigger subsequent missions. ”
Bringing a bracelet to trigger the follow-up mission is really unscrupulous......
After watching the movie, you know that once you wear the Grim Reaper bracelet, you only have seven days to live, and you can't lift the curse unless you reach the pyramid of Amshei Oasis within this time, in other words, once you wear the bracelet, you have to do it if you don't do it.
Xiao Lan would never refuse a task at his fingertips, but there was really no need to open it directly in this place.
When the flood falls, let's talk about it when it settles down!
Throwing the bracelet directly to Zheng Zhe, who was ready to take over the follow-up task, Xiao Lan directly recited the incantation of "Water Resistance" in Ancient Thebes directly to the Black Sutra of the Undead.
As soon as the bracelet was disturbed, the mechanism had already been activated, and the surrounding earthquake was turbulent, and at the same time as the sand began to fall on the heavenly board, everyone heard a shocking tide like a storm crashing on the shore—
I didn't feel anything when I walked all the way, the water level in this secret room was so low?
The power of water pressure due to height is understood by anyone who has studied modern physics.
At this moment, as soon as the sluice gates of the closed waterway opened, the raging Nile water suddenly poured in like a flood bursting its banks!
However, before the boiling and roaring Nile water arrived, Xiao Lan's water-resisting thaumaturgy had already been completed one step ahead of others-
With a dark light flashing on everyone's body, this spell that extracted the magic power of about two ordinary soul fragments immediately showed its power.
The influx of Nile water was more terrifying than imagined, and the huge force even completely washed away this underground space, Xiao Lan, who was standing in place, naturally could not resist its power, Eve and Jonathan screamed loudly at once.
It's just that their screaming only lasted for a few seconds, and then they realized that something had completely stopped.
"This ...... It's amazing! ”
At this moment, they are drifting in the turbulent river, wrapped in a faint light that is not very conspicuous, like a protective shield described in science fiction -
The icy river water was isolated at a position of about half a centimeter outside the body, and it was indeed as Xiao Lan said, even the clothes were not wet, and it was still miraculous and did not hinder breathing!
In addition, since those mummies have been cut down in advance, there is no thrilling life-and-death sniping along the way.
The only thing you need to be careful about is not to be hit by the river and hit something that shouldn't be bumped, "Water Resistance" can be waterproof, maybe the magic of the water system can also resist some, but it is absolutely impossible to stop the impact of kinetic energy, and under the huge inertia of high-speed movement, if you bump into it, it will definitely break the blood flow.
However, with Xiao Lan and Zheng Zha, two people who can maintain their freedom in such a flowing water, they are under the care of them, and it is difficult for them to have problems......
The raging flood had pushed them all the way to the end, but there was nothing but a thick wall.
Anyone who has watched the movie knows that behind this wall is the hall when the mausoleum enters, and in the original plot, Eve's son should have unintentionally knocked down the hall pillars and smashed the wall like dominoes, but now it's still in the first part, Eve is not married at all, and she doesn't even have a boyfriend, let alone a ten-year-old son.
However, Xiao Lan really didn't need to rely on the help of others.
Carried by the inertia of the river, Zheng Zha and Xiao Lan instantly moved the moment they hit the wall-
Just as they kicked over the door in the tomb together, with the tremendous strength of stepping on the river, the two tacitly joined forces to kick and shatter the wall blocking the way without any suspense.
And under the impact of the Nile River that followed, Xiao Lan and the others rushed out as if they were riding the river, and rushed out of the temple with a bang, and came to the canopy that was still covered by darkness.
But getting out of one danger is often the beginning of falling into another.
Feeling the several breaths that appeared instantly after leaving the isolation of the temple, as well as the undisguised killing intent and the several attacks that were about to arrive, Xiao Lan, who was still holding the Undead Black Sutra in his hand, couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.
“…… With such a warm welcome, did we miss something? (To be continued......)
