Chapter 4: In the Hall

"Bang!"

Xiao Chen opened his eyes and found that the fist was close to his face, smashing a shallow pit on the ground, stirring up small gravel, smashing his cheeks with pain. As long as that punch is a little higher, he will be incurable. Xiao Chen struggled to avoid the second punch, but felt that the armored warrior stopped moving after the punch, pressing on his back like a fallen sculpture.

Could it be that the tin can is out of order?

"Xiao Chen, are you okay?" came Luo Ling's voice in his ears.

"Danger! you ......"

"It's not going to move anymore. Oh, are you alright? I'm scared to death! If we hadn't pushed it, it would have punched you in the head. Zhou He said incoherently.

"Stop talking nonsense, work hard together and bring it down. Luo Ling shouted. The two girls pushed the paralyzed armored warrior hard, and Xiao Chen also pushed hard, and finally threw the heavy guy to the side.

"Luckily, this product is in disrepair and out of repair, otherwise...... Gee. Xiao Chen wiped his sweat, grabbed his backpack, and saw that the armored warriors chasing behind him were only about twenty meters away from them, "Let's go! More tin cans are coming." ”

"What kind of luck is it, it's because Sister Luo Ling found its switch. Zhou He said as he ran.

"Where's the switch?"

"Behind the helmet. Luo Ling opened her hand, and there was a light blue stone in her hand, the size of her thumb, "I always feel that such a machine will design a switch no matter what, but fortunately, I was lucky enough to find it." Once broken, it won't move. ”

Xiao Chen gave her a thumbs up and said, "Awesome! Thank you for the life-saving grace of the two heroines!"

After the three of them continued to run for a while, they found that they had run into a dead end. At the end of the road was a metal gate, tightly sealed, but there was a crack in the stone wall on one side of the door that was more than a foot wide.

At this time, the pursuers had blocked the back road tightly, and they could only throw themselves into the net when they walked back. It's the crack...... , Xiao Chen estimated that he should be able to get into it just right, but the armored warrior couldn't.

He leaned over the crack and saw that the stone wall was more than two feet thick, and behind the door there was a stone staircase that went down, about twenty steps, and under the steps was a huge hall, in which there seemed to be some pillars and a stone statue. He didn't have time to distinguish carefully, so he pulled Zhou He over and said urgently: "Go! Get in!"

Zhou He got in first, followed by Luo Ling, the two of them, one petite and the other slender, stepped over the wall with little effort.

But when it was Xiao Chen's turn, it was more difficult. The crack became thinner and thinner the higher he went, and he was tall, and he couldn't get past it when he stood up straight, so he could only move slowly inside with a half-squat. A moment later, the chasing warriors in armor also arrived here, and the first one, squeezing into the crack twice without success, picked up his sword and poked it inside.

This scared Xiao Chen out of a cold sweat. The sword came straight at his waist, and he was stuck in the crack in the stone and couldn't dodge, as long as he was stabbed, it was certain death. He squeezed it in with all his suffocating strength, and struggled to block the sword with his backpack. I only heard a "poof", and the long sword plunged into the schoolbag.

Xiao Chen was horrified in his heart, and hurriedly put his other hand on his waist, hoping to resist it.

However, the sword did not penetrate the backpack and seemed to be blocked by something in the bag. Xiao Chen felt a strong force attack on his backpack, pushing him out of the stone crack at once, stumbling onto the stone steps, and being held up by Luo Ling and Zhou He.

Xiao Chen stood firmly, touched up and down, and found that his arm was cut by a stone and some oily skin, he wiped the blood on his fingers on his pants, bared his teeth and scolded: "Damn, I almost confessed, the tin cans are out of line now, right?"

"Look there. Luo Ling pointed to the crack.

Xiao Chen looked back and saw that the armored warrior was stuck in the crack of the stone because of his excessive force, and now only the hand holding the sword could still move, like a puppet doll that had been suspended. Perhaps trying to open the way with its sword, it slashed the stone a few times, but with a click, the sword snapped. It then smashed the stone wall with its fist, making a thumping sound, but to no avail.

"Smash it, smash it, you can only come in in the year of the monkey. Zhou He clenched his fists and said hatefully to the armored warrior. She took Luo Ling's arm and asked, "They can't catch up, can they?"

"Well, the walls are so thick, don't worry, I just hope there aren't any new tin cans in this room. ”

"Oh, no. ”

"Don't worry, there's such a big commotion here, if there was anything in the hall, they would have surrounded it a long time ago!" Xiao Chen let out a breath, picked up his backpack and saw that a three-inch-long crack had been poked in the middle of the backpack. Digging open the crack and looking inside, it turned out that the laptop had saved his life, and the tip of the sword pierced the entire computer, but it was also stuck there.

"It's good that we don't need an ultra-thin book, otherwise we would have just explained. ”

The three of them didn't bother to rest and began to inspect the hall.

"There's no road! We're trapped. Zhou He slammed the package on the ground, leaned against a pillar, and collapsed like a ball of mud.

"I think at least half of the people who are in trouble are trapped by themselves. Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back, walked to Zhou He's side, and patted her on the shoulder.

"Why do you have such a good mentality. Zhou He replied weakly.

"Because a bad mindset doesn't make anything better. Xiao Chen shrugged and said, "Let's go, let's see what we find." ”

Luo Ling looked at the two of them, smiled slightly, and continued to look around.

Although this hall is large, except for the two rows of columns, there is only one stone statue left, and the three of them turned around and came to the stone statue in unison.

The stone statue is located on a stone platform in the center of two rows of columns, the stone platform is more than one meter high, and the statue is carved in white marble, slightly larger than a real person, and looks like it is more than two meters high. It was a rugged ancient warrior with a fur waistcoat, leather boots, bearded, and muscular. He carried on his shoulder a small, one-sided axe, made of a black metal that, despite its age, looked extremely sharp. The warrior stepped on the head of a severed monster and threw his head up to the sky as if to roar.

This warrior sculpture is clearly textured and lifelike, with a touch of original exoticism. Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at first glance. He was also well-informed, but in his memory, he had never seen a statue of this style.

"Do you think we're still on Earth?" Luo Ling asked abruptly.

"I'd love to say 'yes'. But, what strange things have happened to us?" Xiao Chen tilted his brows, a little distracted. The dungeon, the runes, the monsters, the statues, all of this was wrong, there could be no place like this under the school, "Have you seen the Chronicles of Narnia? ”

Seeing that both of them shook their heads. He smiled and said, "Ha, maybe there is another world under the school." Our saga is about to begin. ”

"You're still smiling! It's only you boys who don't grow up to think about things that are not practical all day long. I don't want to go anywhere, I want to go home!" Zhou He said with some annoyance, "Have you read too many fantasy novels and want to travel to the other world to ask for a dozen or twenty wives." ”

"So you're so good! Shake hands with you! But ah, you think too highly of me. At my level, I can't deal with it alone. Where can you afford to eat so much. ”

Zhou He's face turned red and he said, "I will only make money cheaply." What else can a student like you do with a person like you who can't lift his hands and can't resist his shoulders except for flowers on his lips?"

"Hey, I can do ......"

"Don't make a fuss! Luo Ling had already walked up the steps to the stone statue, she squatted at the foot of the stone statue, and pointed to the stone statue's pedestal, "There is a word engraved here." ”

"Spanish!" Xiao Chen leaned over and said in surprise.

Luo Ling glanced back at Xiao Chen, who grinned smugly and said, "My mother is a Spanish translator." I learned a little bit from an early age. ”

Luo Ling curled the corners of her mouth and said, "Then take a closer look, what's the difference?"

"It's true that a lot of words are spelled a little differently. Hey, you know Spanish too?"

Luo Ling ignored his nonsense, and after reading the inscription a few times, he said: "Some grammars are different, the conjugation of verbs is different, and there are also problems with the spelling of several words. For example, the word Lai prueboa, the correct spelling should be la prueba, I guess. Both the preceding article and the following noun spelling have been mutated. And the word Bazercer, I've never seen before. But even guess the meaning of this passage is: the spirit of vastness harnesses the body of madness, and in the name of Merlot Arias, bestows it on you...... of trials. ”

Xiao Chen looked at the tall statue: muscles strong enough to explode, and the posture of crushing the enemy under his feet...... A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind: "That word should be a variant of Berserker." A trial for the Berserker. ”

"Berserker, isn't that another name for Viking warriors in ancient Europe?" Luo Ling asked.

"Not only that, but there are also characters like this in many games and novels. Xiao Chen pulled Luo Ling far to the side of the statue, and he could see the whole picture of the statue. "You see, this warrior is holding a weapon, but he is not wearing any armor. There are also a lot of scars on the body. It shows that his fighting style is exactly the kind of fighting style that does not care about life and death. Isn't this typical berserker style? ”

"Berserker's Trial. Luo Ling silently recited this short sentence, figuring out the meaning of the words.

Zhou He suddenly clapped his hands and said, "What kind of trial is this, could it be that it refers to those iron cans outside?"

Xiao Chen touched his chin and said, "Hmm, Xiao Zhouhe, you are still clever." I think it's really possible, maybe we stumbled into a place like 'Shaolin Woodman Alley'?"

"Go, you're young. And then, have we completed the trial?" Zhou He didn't like to see others say she was small, even though she was only as tall as Xiao Chen's shoulders.

"If this is some kind of trial, I guess we'll have to knock down all the tin cans out there. Xiao Chen could still hear the jammed armored warrior banging on the stone wall, the only background sound in the quiet hall.

"What are you kidding, it took the three of us a lot of effort to deal with one. Now there are at least dozens of them blocked outside the stone crack, how can it be done to knock them all down?" Zhou He's eyes widened.

"I'll just guess. But what about ......" Xiao Chen pointed to the statue, "We can't do it, it doesn't mean that this one can't do it either." This trial is likely to be prepared for such a macho man. Judging from our body, it is naturally a little harder. But for him, it's a piece of cake. ”

"That's right, I think one can deal with ten of you......" Zhou He said as he looked at the statue.

"I didn't expect you to think so highly of me, thank you for the compliment!" Xiao Chen smiled.
