Chapter 933: Swarming
This temple was built in the 10th century A.D., the square is symmetrical, the bottom is 55.3 meters long, the height is 24 meters, the four sides are angular, the whole tower is in the shape of a step, there are 9 floors, Xiangshang shrinks layer by layer, the shape is extremely beautiful. At the top of the pyramid is a square temple six meters high. On the steps of the pyramid facing north, a snake with feathers is carefully carved, the head of the snake opens its mouth and sticks out its tongue, the image is realistic, but the snake body is hidden in the section of the staircase, only on the afternoon of the spring and autumn equinox every year, the sun is falling, the illuminated part of the north wall, the edges and corners are gradually distinct, and those straight lines are also from top to bottom, intersecting into a wave, as if a flying python swoops down from the sky.
These materials are recorded in detail in the collection of the Book Demon, but when everyone ascends the temple, they find that it is empty. The inside of the temple was not large, and outside of a stone altar, the walls were empty. It's exactly the same as on the tourist attraction of Shijie in real life. It is difficult for everyone to go through all the hardships just to travel here.
The pirates selected were all masters of treasure hunting, and some had the experience of exploring with Spanish expeditions. For the search for secrets, visiting the secret entrance of the dark room, etc., there are some unique skills in hand. After some careful investigation, Caterina can pat her chest and pack the ticket, there is absolutely no secret passage here.
The book demon said to Zhang Fan Akon: "According to the Mayan documents I have consulted, as well as the 'Qipu' obtained and deciphered in the Inca temple. This temple is only on the afternoon of the spring and autumn equinoxes, when the statue of Quetzalcoatl appears, and the Mayan priest is able to open the secret altar that leads to communication with Quetzalcoatl through some kind of ritual......" Speaking of this, the book demon shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "I have mastered some of the rituals of the Mayan priests, and I can pretend to be a priest." But now the season is not right, and there is nothing I can do...... But those goblins are probably another way for us to find the secret altar......"
Akon nodded and snapped his fingers, and Yoda jumped over, "Now it's time for your men to show their hands......"
Yoda called a goblin chief who was following him, and inquired in detail about the situation in the area, and quickly received an accurate answer. Underneath the ruins of this ancient Mayan city, there are some artificial ruins connected to underground caves. But these ruins are protected by a mysterious liliang, and the goblins can't break through that defensive barrier......
"It's not hard for us to break these sealed barriers, but they have a constant supply of spiritual power that can be repaired quickly. It's so fast that we can't break through ......," said the goblin, who was familiar with the underground conditions in the area, and whose tribe had tried to dig up the ruins.
"Is it just a tribe?" Akon glanced at Yoda, "Let's try to concentrate all the goblins' liliang ......" You know, since the goblins in this area can produce a goblin king, then its group is very large, not to mention there are more than fifty large and small tribes, nearly a thousand goblins. Liliang, who gathers all the goblins, can break through even the absolute defensive barrier of a giant dragon! The next task is to find a suitable entrance.
As night fell, the goblins who followed the expedition team scattered and lurked, gathering reinforcements from the tribe while splitting up to find the entrance to the ruins. In the second half of the night, the good news came that at least five dried Mayan sacred pools had been found near the Mayan ruins. Two of them are connected to underground caves. It even leads all the way to other Mayan crystal pools in the jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula!
The Mayan Crystal Pools of the Yucatan Peninsula are lime pits formed by rainwater eroding limestone over time. Because the rainwater is filtered through sponge-like limestone, the water appears so clear and transparent that it looks like it was made of crystal. These crystal pools were sacred pools for the Mayans, who threw gold, silver and jewelry into them for sacrifices. They form a mysterious groundwater shijie. It has long been said that in the mysterious underground Shijie, there are mountains of bones and gold.
Akon took Willis and Dornier and flew out of the temple on a wooden kite, causing a lot of movement behind the Maya people surrounding the temple, attracting the Mayan natives to the past. The expedition team took advantage of the cover of night to sneak near a relatively large holy pool. There's already a goblin here to pick it up.
The contents of this sacred pool have long been looted by the Spanish expeditions that arrived first. However, the underground cave connected to the holy pool has not been discovered because of the secret passage. The underground cave leads to another site, a small Mayan pyramid buried by jungle vines, which has been very dilapidated due to the long period of abandonment and plant roots.
This small pyramid is a shaft that leads down from a vine-covered shaft to a secret man-made tunnel that leads to an underground cave. There are three such secret passages in this shaft, leading to three different sacred pools. One of them is where the expedition came from the Mayan ruins.
The Mayan treasures in the other two sacred pools have been swept back to their mine lair by a goblin chief in a territory close to them. As the newly appointed Goblin King Yoda, it is naturally difficult to rob his courtiers of their property. However, it also ordered that all the property obtained in the enchantment in the future belong to itself and its master, but it will pay all the goblins who participate in the excavation of the ruins.
The expedition made a long circle underground, and finally passed through an underground fissure and reached the ruins of the Mayan city of Chichen Itza again. This time, though, it's a hundred feet underground. This is the edge of the Seal Barrier that the Goblin Chief spoke of, where their clan last tried to dig into. At that time, more than thirty strong goblins in its tribe had been fighting here for a month, and the sealing barrier of this underground ruin was still unscathed.
The barrier is a huge underground wall 100 meters long and more than 30 meters high, made of earth and stone, which is covered with ancient Mayan characters and drawings. Yoda asked more than 30 goblins to dig forward, and after an hour, they found that this huge wall of earth and stone could not be destroyed at all, not only was it harder than granite, but the damaged place would soon be repaired automatically! This is true even on the ground and the walls of the cave in front of the wall. It is not possible to dig a tunnel to bypass the giant wall from any direction.
With a wave of his hand, hundreds of goblins poured out of the underground rift and pounced on the massive wall. The red light on Yoda's body shone, and within a hundred meters of it, all the goblins were given an aura of destructive ability-boosting. This is the 'Swarming' skill that Goblin King has. This skill isn't just for creature enemies, it's also effective against buildings and enchantments.
