Chapter 8: The First Victory
Razor, who caught up, had completely lost his previous high-spirited appearance, his clothes were ragged and unkempt, and even the close-fitting protective clothing had been cut out a few times, and the flesh inside was not spared, and he was still bleeding. After all, he doesn't have the ability of a Persian cat, and he can't predict the mechanism, so he can only rely on danger warning and agile skills to dodge. However, the passage along the way is narrow, the mechanism is heavy, and the weakening of the cold ice and poison path is so easy to dodge. And the damage of the plot force to the adventurer will not be reduced, this guy with an agile specialty and a small body is really embarrassed.
The Persian cat was choked by the neck and struggled, but the strength was no match for Razor, and under the damage reduction rules, those fists and embroidered legs were only enough to tickle people. Lei Ze looked at her and snorted coldly: "You kid, most of you have seen the fame of this ancient site...... I guess you recognize the words on the mural, right? ”
The Persian cat laboriously explained, "How is it possible...... It's a fictional world, fictional words, how can I ......"
"Still trying to lie to me?!" Razor increased the force in his hand and said, "If you don't know anything about this place, how can you hide all the way to get here?" You probably know the whereabouts of the proof of victory, tell me! ”
The Persian cat casually glanced at the door of the word, and then begged for mercy: "I admit it, I admit it, you let me go...... In fact, the key to getting the proof of victory is in that sarcophagus! ”
Lei Ze looked at the sarcophagus, then at the gorgeous door, and sneered: "It's all at this time, you still want to lie to me?" Hmph, I saw it when I came in, you're going to walk towards that gate, aren't you? ”
The Persian cat had a shocked look in its eyes, but did not speak. Razor sneered, and the afterburner in his hand was about to kill her, but he felt that the resistance increased significantly, obviously because the damage reduction rules were in effect, and it was difficult to cause substantial damage. He snorted coldly, threw the Persian cat on the ground, took out an iron chain from the space, and threw it at her, only to see a faint black light emitting from the chain, which automatically wrapped around the Persian cat and tied her up in a strong knot.
Sure that the imp was no longer a threat, Razor strode towards the gate, but halfway through, he turned back and looked at the Persian cat suspiciously, then walked to the sarcophagus and pushed the lid open.
The sarcophagus was empty, not even a piece of patterned text, just an ordinary stone box. After confirming this, Razor sneered and walked to the door again.
Unlike the rough stone texture of other places, this gate is made of a strange metal, and the carved patterns on it are colorful and colorful. Although the picture has a strong ancient style, you can still see the main body, which is the spider! That's right, if the proof of victory is really guarded by the spider monster, then it must be behind this gate!
It's just that this door is not so easy to open. The door seemed to be locked by some kind of mechanism, and the main door had a large rotating disc with three circles on the inside and outside, apparently requiring a three-digit code to open the door. Twelve patterns are drawn on the edge of each circle, depending on the full alignment of Meng, and the probability is only 1 in 1728.
After fiddling with it for a long time, he didn't come up with a reason, and in desperation, Razor returned to the Persian cat: "Boy, do you know the password?" ”
The Persian cat tilted his head and said, "It's just tied up like this, how do you tell me to open a password?" ”
Razor was helpless, withdrew the chain, and the Persian cat moved his wrist, glanced up at the 36 patterns on the huge roulette wheel, and said, "Try moths, grasshoppers, and dragonflies!" ”
Razor returned to the gate, tried as the Persian cat said, and as soon as he put the last lap on the line, the roulette wheel flashed with a strange light, and then began to tremble slightly, and there was a rumbling sound in the stone walls on both sides of the door, and the gate slowly parted to both sides, making way for a passage.
"It really worked!" Razor excitedly set up his dagger, red flames rose from his body, ready to fight at any time, and walked through the gate......
Seeing that Razor had entered, the Persian cat did not follow, but immediately ran to the sarcophagus, covered the coffin and lay down. But nothing happened, the Persian cat frowned and thought about it for a moment, quickly opened the storage space, and took out a few heavy objects from it and put it on its body. This time, there was finally a Karala silence from under the sarcophagus, and the sarcophagus began to sink slowly.
At the same time, from behind the gate came Razor's screams, accompanied by a strange hissing and gnawing sound, and the sound was getting closer and closer, towards the sarcophagus.
The Persian cat is in the sarcophagus and cannot see what is going on outside, but the adventurers in front of the big screen can see it clearly. The room that Razor entered was actually a huge spider's nest, inhabited by a giant spider that was more than ten meters long! Razor didn't hold on for even ten seconds before he became the monster's snack.
The spider troll slowly walked out of the door, half of Razor's head still hanging from its fangs. The movement of the sarcophagus attracted it, and the monster came to the top of the sarcophagus and struck it violently with its thick and sharp forelimbs, but the sarcophagus seemed to be made of special materials, not only unscathed, but also undisturbed by the slow pace of sinking, and so it slowly sank to the ground under the nose of the giant spider.
After sinking into the ground, a small door opened at the bottom of the sarcophagus, and the Persian cat jumped from the door, and there was another hall underneath, but not as spacious as above. The whole hall was empty, only a small stone tablet stood in the center, and a round golden medal was placed in the recess above the stone tablet.
The Persian cat holds the proof of victory in her hand, and the system immediately prompts her to keep the item for more than a minute. In this way, in the environment where the spiders above kept going berserk, making the roof of this small basement tremble, and dust falling from time to time, the Persian cat spent this last minute, completed the challenge, and returned to the intercity arena space. The Miracle City side won the first victory, and at the same time, the Persian Cat also received a victory reward, with 10,000 credit points, 10 attribute points freely, 30 skill points, and 20 honor points! That's definitely a lot at the ordinary level!
The return of the Persian cat, the people of Miracle City immediately surrounded it, and everyone didn't expect this unattractive little ghost to actually play the powerful Razor around, and they all stepped forward to congratulate and express their admiration, and they saw that the Dark City side gritted their teeth.
"Little ghost, what the hell is going on, isn't that proof of victory supposed to be behind the door, how did it become a basement under the sarcophagus?" Ma Le was happy, but also raised his own questions. This is also the question of everyone in Miracle City, that Razor is really a little unclear about his death.
The Persian cat shrugged his shoulders and said with a natural expression: "The sarcophagus should have been used to open the secret door, isn't that what the mural in the first room suggests?" ”
Everyone frowned when they heard this: "No, isn't that relief hint, don't you have to defeat the spider monster to get the treasure?" ”
"That's my!" The Persian cat laughed: "That mural should not be looked from left to right, but from right to left!" ”
"What?" The crowd was amazed, so the first one should be a crowd surrounding a spider, the second one should be a battle all the way, the third one is a scuffle, the fourth one is lying in a coffin, and the fifth one is a proof of victory...... "Could it be that the mural records the process by which you obtained the proof of victory?" Snowy Owl speculated.
"That's right!" The Persian cat nodded, "The one in the center of the first picture is not actually a spider, but the shape of the underground ruins, and the eight legs are the eight entrances to the ruins. As far as I can suppose, the creators of this ruin should be a spider-worshipping people, and this ruin should be an arena or something, and they will pick eight warriors to enter through the eight entrances of the arena, and go through the long tunnel full of monsters, that is, the spider's legs, to the spider's chest, which is the hall, and do the final big melee. And the ultimate victor can lie in that sarcophagus, trigger the mechanism, and come to the hidden compartment to get proof of victory. As for the big spider, it should be their divine beast or something, and it was placed in the arena to worship! ”
"......I see," the crowd nodded in agreement, but another adventurer asked, "But how do you tell the order in which the murals are read?" ”
The Persian cat smiled contemptuously and said: "A group of stupid people, just look at the text, even if you don't know it, you can always see the typography, the right side of the text is neat, the left side is uneven, obviously read from right to left, the text is like this, then the mural should naturally be read from right to left!" ”
This little ghost got a little carried away, and for a while the old problem of arrogance and poisonous tongue was committed again. After all, not everyone is like Ma Le, you can let her be stupid and stupid, hearing the arrogant tone of this little ghost, everyone is a little uncomfortable, the stingy ones simply don't have a good face, turn their heads and leave, and the more generous ones can laugh and take it, but they don't want to continue talking.
Coincidentally, the host lady began to shake the next game, and everyone's attention immediately shifted from the Persian cat to the turntable, and this little ghost was also happy to sit next to Ma Le and watch the play.
"By the way, everything else is easy to explain, how the hell did you know the password to that gate?" As for the interpretation of the Persian cat, Ma Le still has doubts.
"It's written on the wall!" The Persian replied.
Ma Le frowned and said strangely: "Didn't you say that the words on it are fictitious, don't you know them?" ”
The Persian cat shrugged his shoulders and said: "I really don't know, but the ancient characters, it seems complicated, in fact, they are all hieroglyphs, I have studied oracle bone inscriptions, ancient Egyptians, Sumerians, Mayans and many other ancient scripts, although the style and structure of these characters are different, but there are always some rules in summary." Although I have never seen the ancient characters before, based on my years of experience, coupled with a little imagination, I can guess the general meaning...... Hawkers, but such a profound thing, you idiot must not be able to understand it! ”
Ma Le nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "You've never been in love, have you?" ”
The Persian cat was stunned by this sudden question, blushed slightly, frowned and replied, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
Ma Le made an expression that was indeed so, and said with a smile: "You are only sixteen years old, and you have studied these obscure and obscure knowledge so deeply, although I admire your knowledge very much...... But you deserve to not find a girlfriend! ”
Only then did the Persian cat hear that Ma Le was sarcastic about her, and wrinkled her nose and said, "Hmph, I want you to take care of my business!" I'm not going to find a girlfriend in my life! ”
