Chapter 15: The Shroud of Haynes
After the garbage heap in the corner of the temple was burned clean by Cole, a deep crack in the black stone appeared in front of the five people, Zhu Peng took the lead and walked in one by one, and the other five people walked in turn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The entrance is very narrow, but the inside is a unique cave, and the sky is getting wider and wider. Liu Yidao's dark strength was through his head and face, his five senses were much more sensitive than ordinary martial artists, and after listening for a while, the old swordsman whispered: "There is the sound of water, there should be an underground dark river here." ”
"It should be the abyss's flowing earth phenomenon that distorts the entire frozen snow mountain, and the internal power has squeezed through the stone wall of the Black Stone Temple and opened up this secret passage, and I don't know where it leads. ”
(leads to the Catacombs...... Completing the 'Abyssal Cultists' quest before completing the Exploration of the Catacombs will at least double the difficulty of completing the quest. Zhu Peng didn't speak, but just led the people behind him to walk forward, until he saw a stone room that was crushed by rocks, and in an instant, except for Zhu Peng and Dong Xue, almost everyone's eyes lit up.
"Is this the catacombs?The kinetic energy of the abyssal flowing earth squeezes the mountain, connecting the black stone temple on the top of the frozen earth and snow with the catacombs in the belly of the mountain?" Old Cole's eyes burned with intense excitement, of course, this was more of the wizard's excitement that his knowledge had been confirmed.
Zhu Peng pressed the shoulder of Cole, who was rushing forward, and fixed the old wizard apprentice there. "If this path is any easier, those cubs of the Abyssal Demons won't risk raiding us, the Catacombs quest rating is far higher than that of the Abyss Believers, and the devil knows what's inside. ”
"Dong Xue, you go back and put an eye in front of the main gate of the Black Stone Temple, and wait for us to come back while monitoring, if there is an accident...... Improvise. "Dong Xue is not a combat power, of course you can't take her with you to explore the catacombs. After Dong Xue retreated, Zhu Peng took the lead and guarded the palace with a knife, these two people can be said to be the two people with the strongest adaptability, survivability and even comprehensive strength, and Ke Er is strong, but after all, he is old.
With the skills of Zhu Peng and Liu Yidao, even if there are traps in the ancient tomb in front of them, whether they can hit the two of them, even if they can hit them, whether they can kill them directly, these are two words.
The ancient tomb is spacious and exquisite, and there are even rough stone patterns on the stone walls on both sides......
"The owner of the tomb here also specially designed the lighting for the tomb robbers, it's too intimate, right?" extinguishing the torch in his hand, looking at the scene in front of him, Zhu Peng's heart sank, and as soon as he stopped, the other four people behind him also stood in place and did not dare to move.
"Many civilizations that have mastered the first and second order necromancy regard death as a way back to life, and some of these customs are very wonderful, you Chinese regard death as a rebirth to the underworld, so after death you carry a lot of treasures that you loved in life, and you have to be ruthless to bury the people you liked when you were alive, but not all civilizations are like this. As he spoke, Cole Sr. made his way to a corner of the tomb, where the stone walls had been crushed by the rock, and several rough handmade ceramic jars rolled down the ground, some of which were broken, revealing rolls of dull yellow coarse cloth inside.
Old Cole walked up and put on his leather gloves first, he picked up the coarse cloth roll and slowly extended it, and after watching for a while, the old wizard showed Zhu Peng some scattered patterns on the coarse cloth:
Although vague and abstract, Zhu Peng still sees scenes of war, sacrifice, celebration, death and so on from these patterns, of which the scenes of death occupy more than half of the patterns.
"You have studied identification, you should know something about the history of the Heavenly Civilization, what period of creation is this?"
"Looking at the pattern style, this should be a product of the Haynes civilization, if I remember correctly, this second-order civilization is known for its crazy fighting enthusiasm and strange beliefs and customs, most of the old people of the Haynes civilization died in the gladiatorial arena fighting wild beasts, they worship battle, death, glory, and despise those who lie in bed and die...... It was just a weak civilization, and although there were still some hynes hybrids in the wizarding world now, their civilization inheritance should have long been cut off. ”
"You can remember a second-order civilization in such detail, which shows that Zhu Peng, your foundation is very solid. Now many wizard apprentices only remember the fifth-order and above heterogeneous civilizations, and then they die in the ruins of civilizations they don't bother to know about. Old Cole said with a sneer: "The civilizations that can leave traces in the heavens have all bloomed with brilliant and great splendor......"
After this somewhat strange conversation, Zhu Peng and Old Cole seemed to relax.
"If this is the remnants of the Blenor civilization, the lights are on and it means 'I found you, get out of here' If you continue to keep going, as long as the entire catacomb's mechanism is still functioning, you will find a massive collapse, and we are now in the belly of the mountain. Cole said as he put the roll of coarse cloth in his bag.
"But since they are Hainesians who worship battle, death, and glory, then don't worry, they regard life as a glorious battle, and death is also a continuation of this battle, the lights are on, which means that the defense mechanism of the entire tomb has been activated, rushing through obstacles like a warrior, the owner of the tomb should be a Haynes nobleman, he will prepare a rich treasure for the warrior in the tomb, provided you are not hacked to death by it...... The Haynes civilization is known for its berserk and necromancy, and their tombs are often accompanied by a large number of shrouds, which they consider to be the currency of the underworld. ”
Cole and Zhu Peng's explanation made Liu Yidao, who had heard that the tomb would collapse and his face was pale, to regain his composure, and the old man glanced at the silver-haired female elf with a look of "I am illiterate but I worship knowledge", and said with some anger: "Yiwen, aren't you the same tutor as Peng'er, and have learned the same identification technique?
(Of course she didn't recognize it, when she was learning appraisal techniques, this girl was addicted to palace fighting dramas and couldn't extricate herself, as for the history of the Heavenly Civilization...... "Alright, let's go inside, the master has already set up a position, and it will be disappointing to arrive for a long time." ”
Consciously interrupting each other's mouth cannons that were about to happen, Zhu Peng turned his head sideways and said to the young thief at the same time: "Yu Sen, collect a few parcels of corpse cloth, the quality of the Haynes Shroud is well-known among wizard apprentices and even low-level wizards, and many apprentices who learn necromancy will buy a few volumes of collection even if they don't use it." ”
...... The nobles of Haynes, who will make themselves and their cronies into mummy-like dried corpses to welcome the arrival of the challengers......
Inside the tomb, there are many stepped up and down stone beds, a slightly shriveled but unusually complete corpse lying on it, after Zhu Peng and the five people walked by casually, these deceased who had received special secret methods suddenly opened their empty eyes with dark green light, they staggered off the stone bed, and finally wrapped the five people in groups of three or five in the center.
"You see, what am I saying, the Haynes civilization is known for its berserk and necromancy. Looking at the undead warriors who had quickly regained their agility and were armed with rusty weapons, Old Cole spread his hands and spoke to everyone excitedly...... No matter how much you read a book, you can't fully understand all the situations, and even if you know all the situations, the result is not the same.
At the same time, Dong Xue stared at the amber-like eye stone by the bonfire, she condensed her spirit in front of the Black Stone Temple according to Zhu Peng's request and "inserted" a Netherworld Eye, unless there is nothing to do to put a detection spell, or the martial arts are sensitive enough to be observed to be alert, otherwise this Netherworld Eye is hidden in the void, and ordinary people cannot detect it. Just when Dong Xue was biting on the slightly salty compressed biscuit and staring at the eye stone and feeling a little bored, a group of seven people broke into the observation range of the Nether Eye, and the point was: they were obviously coming in the direction of the Black Stone Temple.
The biscuit in the little mouth fell little by little: "Isn't it, what are you afraid of?"
Dong Xue hurriedly stood up and looked around, she glanced at the image displayed in the eye stone again, and felt that it must be too late to pack up and dodge now. At last the little girl stomped her foot, and no longer bothered with the salutes, but ran to one side of the wall and barely tore off a piece of the hide, and then hid in the crevice of the stone that led to the catacomb.
