Chapter 26: Accidents
The sudden explosion of news made me instantly unsure of how to react to the news, and the impact of this news was so much greater than when Pandora told me that the broken metal plate was an "ethereal beacon", so much so that I couldn't help but wonder if the author knew what Lu Dao was writing about...... Mouth beard! Slip of the tongue......
I looked around and saw that there was no light source in this underground space, but it was as bright as day, and we could see everything in the hall clearly.
The whole hall was about the size of a football field, made entirely of huge stone blocks, the ashlar tiles on the floor were carved with strange patterns and patterns, and the wall next to us was covered with reliefs of unknown meaning, which looked like some kind of sacrificial scene, and in the hall there was a thick square stone pillar supporting the roof every 20 meters or so, and these stone pillars were also covered with traces of what appeared to be hieroglyphs.
Except for the entrance we entered, there was a similarly sized entrance and exit on the walls of each direction of the hall, plus there were four passages connected to the hall on our side.
As an ancient ruin, the architectural standard of this hall is already very high, but it has nothing in common with the futuristic Xiling buildings I have seen.
"Pandora, are you sure this is the graveyard of the Warriors of Hiling? There is not a single advanced equipment in this place. ”
"This place is indeed full of the atmosphere of ancient carbon-based civilization, but this architectural pattern is exactly the same as the resting place of the Xiling warriors, and although the reliefs and texts all over here have been arbitrarily modified by carbon-based beings according to their understanding, there is still a trace of the prototype of Xiling's characters...... What's more, there's also a working Chilling device......"
"What?!" I was startled, and was about to ask in detail, but I heard Lin Xue shout in surprise: "Everyone close your eyes!" ”
Although we didn't know what Lin Xue meant, we still didn't doubt him and closed our eyes together.
"Ahh
"What's going on......"
"How could it be ......"
"I can still see ......"
“…… Don't make up the word count...... Hmmm......"
All sorts of exclamations rang out one after another.
We were amazed to find that even with our eyes closed, the scene in the hall was still clearly visible to us.
Almost at the same time, we all raised our hands and touched our faces to see if our eyelids were still there.
"The mental imaging system can directly cut the image into the thinking circuit of the creatures that enter the range of action, and the degree of restoration can reach more than 99.99 percent......
"In other words, everything here is an illusion?!" As soon as my heart is in the ring, I want to remind everyone.
"No...... It seems that the psychic imaging system installed here is only to allow those who enter to see the scene in the hall smoothly, and the transmitted images are exactly the same as the real situation in the hall. ”
At this time, Lin Xue also discovered this through her own ability, waved her hand to quiet her somewhat uneasy companions, and said: "Don't worry, this is not an illusion, it seems that some kind of device of this ruin allows us to see the scene in the hall without going through conventional means." ”
“…… Is this really an ancient ruin? Lin Feng spoke the minds of most of the people present.
The strangeness of the ruins made everyone more cautious, Lin Xue turned on her perception to the maximum, Zheng Yiming walked to the front of the team to deal with the danger that might arise at any time, Lin Feng's right hand surrounded a faint cyan wind blade, and Sicaro carefully held his package full of pirated disks in his arms......
…… This uncle, aren't you really an undercover agent sent by the hostile forces to make trouble? Or is your real purpose here to expand your pirated user base to the Tomb Zombies?
"Wait a minute......" Qianqian, who hadn't spoken much from the beginning and was just following everyone carefully, suddenly reminded us, and we turned around to see that the hexagonal metal plate that Qianqian was holding all the way was trembling slightly, and one of the sides also emitted a faint red light.
"All of a sudden...... it's like this"
We looked at each other, and then I proposed, "You can turn this thing around." ”
Asa Shun turned the metal plate around, and we saw that the edge that emitted red light also changed, like a compass.
"Follow the direction indicated by the red light."
Lin Xue glanced at me quite unexpectedly and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite smart in addition to being destructive." ”
…… If you have an "ethereal beacon" living instruction manual like Little Pandora's, you can easily make this suggestion.
Following Lin Xue, we came to the exit on the side of the hall, and a dark corridor appeared in front of us.
I complained to Pandora through the spiritual connection: "This is the place where the door-slamming apostle of Hiling set up, installing a few more 'psychic imaging systems' will die, but it's really not okay to install a light bulb......"
"If my brother is unhappy with this, we will find a way to find the builder of this catacomb and punish him accordingly."
"Uh...... Don't you hear I'm joking? ”
"Wait a minute!" Just as we turned on the cold light tube we carried with us and were about to enter this dark and dreary corridor, Lin Xue suddenly shouted.
"What's the matter, sis? It's going to scare the hell! Lin Feng was almost startled, and said a little dissatisfied.
Lin Xue looked at the dark and gloomy Yongdao in front of her with an uneasy look, and said in a low voice: "I suddenly have a rather uneasy feeling......
I was shocked, and immediately raised my vigilance - I didn't have the slightest doubt about Lin Xue's words, it was a powerful skill that even Pandora called powerful!
"Everyone, be careful!" Zheng Yiming let out a low sigh, and then a translucent protective layer quickly protected everyone, and almost at the same time, hundreds of dark red beams of light shot out from between the ashlar bricks on the floor of the hall, moving towards us along the brick cracks on the ground.
"Quick, everyone get back into the passage! I can't block all the attacks! Zheng Yiming saw that his defense layer was a little shaky after blocking the first few rays of light, and hurriedly shouted.
"No...... Can't get in! Shallow tried to hide in the corridor behind him, but found that he was blocked by an invisible barrier, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Pandora," I immediately asked with a psychic connection, "what's going on?!" ”
"Parsing - Identifying the attacker - EL-305 automated defense and counterattack system, requesting connection - Request denied - Submit high privilege flag - Opponent refuses to accept permission identification...... Brother, this is a blocking type defense and counterattack system commonly used in the Xiling Empire, and it seems that it has malfunctioned due to too much time, and I can't terminate it by normal means. ”
"Is there anything you can do?" Seeing that Zheng Yiming's defensive barrier had obvious cracks, I began to feel a little anxious.
"It is impossible to accurately locate the location of the main engine of this defensive counterattack system, and there are two countermeasures: the defender chariot of the Sicaro Legion can completely defend against this energy attack, and my reshaped photon floating cannon array can terminate the attack by completely destroying this relic, both of the above options will produce huge energy fluctuations and obvious observable phenomena, and the chance of being observed by carbon-based life on this planet is 99.915%."
“…… Is there a more subtle solution? ”
Although the situation was already critical, Pandora's voice remained calm: "There is an alternative, but it may have unpredictable consequences - use the ethereal beacon I am carrying, and teleport everyone out of this place, but I can't be sure if there is a spatial interference system here, so the teleportation may not be completed." ”
"Try first, and if teleportation fails, use your superweapon."
Pandora nodded, then closed her eyes to hide her soon-to-be-colored pupils.
At this moment, I saw that the ethereal beacon that had been basically scrapped from Gu Zhengfeng in Qianqian's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling red light!
