Chapter 159: Tomb Mechanism
"Gold!"
Such a tacit understanding made Xiao Lan and Chu Xuan turn their heads together in a weird way.
Because of the collision of eyes from each other, the eyes inexplicably intersected, and after being silent for a few seconds, Chu Xuan took the first step to explain: "In the movie, we can see that when O'Connor and the others arrived at the statue of the sun god that hid the golden scripture of the sun, they first passed by the room containing the treasures accumulated by generations of Egyptian pharaohs, and ninety percent of the treasures in the ancient Egyptian style were gold. ”
And when Chu Xuan finished speaking and changed his tone, Xiao Lan, who had a tugging of the corners of his mouth, immediately picked up the following details: "The simple brains of the scarab beetles cannot understand the abstract existence of the 'sun god', but they have their instinctive ability to discriminate, as well as basic logic, such as "same", "mass", "location", ......"
"So it's gold! Just show it a piece of gold and ask it to go to a location with a lot of the same item, and it will take us to an area with a lot of gold. ”
"And there's only one place that meets the criteria here - and that's the destination we're looking for!"
The problem was solved, but there was still something minor with the Demons when it came to the source of the gold.
Xiao Lan had some spare main god version of gold on his body, but it was inexplicably not recognized by the scarab, but a gold pocket watch contributed by Richard, a sniper, was responded to once.
Having comprehended the exact orders of the Druid François, the black beetle, which had been commanded by the "animal companion", immediately began to move, leading the group towards the area where there was a lot of gold.
It's just such an anomaly. Both the pseudo-priest and Chu Xuan couldn't help but sound a message buried in their memories.
"Strange, is that really ......"
Again, the same doubts arose, but this time no one noticed, including themselves.
The Demon Troopers, who were even more ignorant, did not dwell on this trivial matter, and followed the correct path shown by the scarab beetle, and they avoided several forks in the road that would lead to trouble if they chose the wrong one.
And the closer he got to his destination, the more Zheng Zha couldn't suppress his feelings. Xiao Lan, who was walking at the end of the line, was a little afraid that he would suddenly go berserk at this time......
But maybe he was too worried this time.
Although Zheng Zhe's emotions are becoming more and more excited, he is also becoming more and more calm...... Calm enough to almost accept the fact that defeat is about to come.
The team continued to grope their way forward, but this time it was completely different.
learned the profound lesson of being pitted once by the plot of the movie and losing the name of the creator. The preoccupied Demon Team still ran into some trouble, but they did not fall into that almost irreparable danger again.
The underground of the Hamna Tower is huge, very large......
Although the plot of the movie describes that it seems that it can be easily completed in a few steps. But that's when you somehow find the shortest path.
The capital of the dead looks like an iceberg floating on the surface of the sea compared to what is below the ground, and only a tiny part of it can be seen.
Before entering the underground, Amya had confirmed it with a mental scan, and the entire ground part of the Hamna Tower was a square structure nearly two hundred meters long, and the underground area that could not be scanned inside was like an inverted pyramid, slightly larger than the largest pyramid of Khufu (146.5 meters high), and the height alone was comparable to a skyscraper of sixty or seventy floors.
In this inverted pyramid, they don't have to worry about the distance to Benny exceeding the safety limit of 5,000 meters, but in the same way that the coffin of the pharaoh is placed at the top closest to the sun in the Pyramid of Khufu, the altar of death connecting to the underworld should be at the apex of the inverted pyramid closest to the earth. The targeted treasure room and the statue of the sun god are nearby...... And in this huge building, which is comparable to a labyrinth inside, it is not easy to walk nearly 200 meters underground.
That's it-
"Be careful! We...... Forget it, just run! ”
With a feeble scream, the demon team led by Zheng Qi and Xiao Lan rushed through a passage at an accelerated pace, and almost behind them were more than a dozen rows of guillotines that shook like a pendulum. The blade that still glows with cold light after 3,000 years shows that once it is cut, it will definitely be cut in half cleanly, and in this ancient tomb with supernatural powers, God knows if there will be some effect on the blade to break armor and demons.
And this pendulum guillotine is not the first time......
Although there are scarabs leading the way, they are obviously not the direct passage that Immorton walked in the movie, it is estimated that it is a special back door that needs to be activated to open a certain mechanism, and there is no reason why the noble priest has to walk through the maze so hard to reach.
But Xiao Lan, who didn't know the shortcut, and under the leadership of the scarab beetle, they probably took the passage left by the designer of the ruins to the "tomb robber". Along the way, it's like going through a live-action version of Tomb Raider, with all kinds of bizarre but effective traps.
Installed on the wall, triggered by pressure or unscientific heat sensation, it will shoot out of the crack a poisonous needle that has not failed for 3,000 years;
It is triggered when it accumulates to a certain value by gravity, causing the ground to partially collapse, allowing the person who steps into it to fall into the knife mountain or strong acid below;
The guillotine, which hangs like a pendulum and cuts back and forth on the heavenly board, is usually triggered halfway through, so that it is not a way to live until the end;
The passage that will pierce spears from the walls and heavenly boards will also be triggered in the middle of the process, making it impossible for people to survive if they move backwards;
The most disgusting one is the guillotine door, which is activated when the person's front foot steps over, and the three knives that cut the waist vertically and the shoulder and leg obliquely will cut the person into five neat pieces;
……
At this moment, it will definitely leave all kinds of tomb robbers from the fruit to the present day without a place to bury...... The real traps are not the same as in the games and early adventure movies, where people are left with ways to crack, and those that can't force people to the point of nowhere are not good traps.
However, the designers of this inverted pyramid 3,000 years ago do not seem to have set up advanced traps similar to magic. Those trap weapons also didn't have the effect of destroying the body's protective qi, perhaps because they thought that priests and god-warriors with power could never become thieves?
It is likely that this is the case, and it is fortunate that the demon team who acted as tomb robbers did not die here.
It is also a trap for ordinary people and even professionals, but for these people who are not ordinary people, it is just a trouble.
The difficulty of nine people is really no longer a problem when Xiao Lan and Zheng Zha, a few veterans who occupy the main strength assessment, make a move.
The wall where the needle was shot was destroyed, the collapsed ground jumped directly from above, and the sling knife accelerated before it fell, destroying the main body. The spear was kicked and bent after being stabbed out, so that it could not be retracted, and after the guillotine cut Zheng Zhe, he never wanted to cut anyone else......
With the strength of Xiao Lan and Zheng Zhe at this time, it is not difficult to temporarily serve as a demolition and relocation office.
Rather, it is a series of deadly traps that are forced through in a cheating way. The nine members of the demon team, who were almost unscathed, finally barely reached the finish line after entering the ground for more than an hour.
The scarab beetle stopped, and signaled François to complete the mission.
(Arrived?) )
Indeed it is.
With the eyes that can see clearly in the dark, Zheng Zhe, who is walking in the front, has seen something that is enough to make people scream.
"We're ......"
So spit out this sentence. Stepping out of the narrow triangular door, he threw a random stone in front of him.
A crisp collision sounded, and the eyes of the others who followed immediately widened.
"It's amazing~~~!"
Ancient Egyptian optical tricks, like non-failing mechanisms, were used to illuminate mirrors even after 3,000 years.
Just like O'Connor did in the movie, Zheng Zhe's stone was just the right angle to adjust the mirror he saw, and the sunlight from a hundred meters above suddenly illuminated the entire space after several reflections.
Then, an instant flash of gold.
Gold, lots and lots of gold, lots and lots of gold.
After the light appeared, the only sight left in the eyes of the demon team was this only sight.
Statue of gold. Vessels of gold, jewellery of gold, and even bases of gold...... The treasure in the twenty-meter-wide treasure room is simply piled up with treasures collected by successive pharaohs!
However, the gold in the main god space was really cheap to death, and several people from the demon team only expressed surprise for a moment, and then walked towards the sun god statue next door under the leadership of Zheng Zhe, who was completely absent-minded. It's just-
"It's all real gold with a history of more than 3,000 years, Chu Xuan...... How much more can you fit in that space bag? ”
From the back of the team, Xiao Lan's question suddenly came, and Chu Xuan actually gave a reply in a timely manner.
"A third of the reserve is available, and I have ten tons of Octotojin warheads without thrusters in addition to other necessary items...... I can spare some if necessary. ”
His C-level side plot was exchanged for a space bag, purely consuming only the number of side plots. It doesn't cost bonus points and has no other purpose, but it can hold a 30-cubic-meter non-living body in your pocket, fold it and put it in your arms to take it away.
For this three-no-man who can produce his own works, this equipment is really just right, although the things are a little speechless...... There are already several lightweight nuclear bombs, and there are actually ten tons of Octo, and the charge of a high-explosive grenade is less than 50 grams of ordinary charge, what are so many high-energy explosives without thrusters for?
However, the crux of the matter does not seem to be this.
"What are you muttering?" Zheng Zha, who was walking at the forefront, stopped, looked at Xiao Lan and Chu Xuan who had come together, and couldn't help frowning, "Gold is cheaper than cabbage in the main god space, why do you look like you want all of this back?" ”
The inexplicable atmosphere escaped, and the newcomers who turned their heads also expressed their curiosity, while Xiao Lan and Chu Xuan, who were the main protagonists of the incident, glanced at each other again.
"There are actually two kinds of gold that can be exchanged for gold from the Lord God...... Don't you notice? ”
Such an inexplicable question, naturally, all shook their heads in unison, and Zheng Zhe, who was in a hurry to get the Sun Golden Sutra, became even more impatient.
"Two is two, does that make any sense?"
Of course it makes sense......
Chu Xuan and Xiao Lan, who said this at the same time in their hearts, opened their mouths, and were stunned for a few seconds before sighing helplessly, saying the details that seemed to be known only to them.
"There are generally two kinds of precious metals in the exchange of the main god, one is the super cheap goods exchanged in the entertainment area, and the other is ......"
"It's a high-priced item of magical legends."
