Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Stone Statue
Within the three-meter range of night vision, Tarrant could only see rocks, layers of earth, and broken brackets, which only supported the conclusion that the room had collapsed, and the mud and rocks that fell from the top had completely buried the entire room, and even if it had been an exit, it was impossible to take the team out now, and it would take at least a few days to get through it.
"Damn!" Tarrant fell to the bottom of the valley, risking his life to break in, and got this ending, he raised his foot and kicked hard next to the door frame, and let out a loud "bang!" he turned his head to look at a stone statue.
The carving seems to be a strange bird, it is a little strange to place this kind of sculpture at the door, Tarrant leaned over curiously, carefully distinguished, the beak of the sculpture is different from the long beak of ordinary birds, but it is somewhat similar to the flat beak of a carnivorous beast, its wings have no feathers, Tarrant's right hand is put up and gently glided over, it is very flat, it seems that its original image has no feathers, similar to the wings of a bat, its feet are strong and powerful, tightly hooked to the base, which is the characteristic of an eagle.
Tarrant looked around the statue again, and finally determined that the creature was beyond his common sense, the beast face, bat wings, and eagle talons, which combined to make it neither a beast nor a bird, and that he had seen too many things in the temple that were beyond common sense, and that he didn't mind the more one Tarrant, he guessed that it might be a creature with some kind of spiritual worship 10,000 years ago.
He gave up his study of the stone statues, walked over to the soil and reached out and grabbed a handful, and it was impossible to tell the exact time when the room had collapsed, perhaps hundreds of years, perhaps longer.
A broken and erected bracket attracted Tarrant's attention, he pushed away the dirt, revealing more broken parts underneath, buried very deeply, it should have been buried by Yan zhòng when the mud and stone were sinking, it is speculated from the height of the current room that this bracket can hold more than two meters of utensils, Tarrant broke off a part, put it in front of his nose and sniffed, ironware, with dents, seems to be ...... If the ancient technique was not much different from today's, this indentation is suitable for placing the hilt of a weapon.
Tarrant took two steps back, looking at the few square meters left in the room, a nondescript statue of an eagle beast, which might have symbolized authority or leader at the time, the iron-clad bricks reinforced in the corners, the buried iron racks for placing weapons, and the dense death traps outside the door, all of which combined to remind him of one word, arsenal.
Ten thousand years ago, during the reign of the elves, they might have taken some measures to limit the combat effectiveness of other lower races in order to strengthen their position, such as storing weapons in a room where only night vision creatures could communicate safely, and it made sense for Tarrant to knock on his head, and now he was a step too late.
There's no value here, it's time to go back, Tarrant left the room and returned to the corner, where his teammates in the distance were looking closely, and Tarrant loudly informed them of the findings: "There is no exit!"
Rex heard the cry and shouted, "You can find your way back by holding on to the bones on the ground!"
Tarrant took two steps and stopped in front of the Flame Ball Trap, he would not forget that this trap that almost killed him was from the third row, his vision was gradually blurred, the effect of night vision was almost exhausted, he didn't want to wait until he reached the middle of the aisle and then lose his vision, he shouted to Rex for help: "Torch throw! Night vision effect is over!"
Rex picked up the torch in the corner of the wall and threw it in two sprints, and the white bones bent into a row in the light of the fire fell straight beside Tarrant.
"Accurate, at least the level of knife proficiency," Tarrant bent over to pick up the torch.
"Be careful!" exclaimed Kitty.
Tarrant subconsciously took a step back and looked down at his feet, there was no trap, there was a dead end behind him, and there could be no enemies, he didn't understand what Kitty was panicking.
"Run!" Rex gestured in the distance, motioning for Tarrant to leave.
"Please, what are you doing?" Tarrant looked at them at a loss, his teammates looking anxious, not like a joke.
"You-back-back-——!" Kitty poked with her index finger and put down Katrina in her arms in a fighting stance.
The situation was not good, Tarrant understood what his teammates were trying to say, he swallowed the saliva in his mouth, quickly turned sideways, and an artifact blocked his full vision, "Wow!" Tarrant covered his mouth and shouted, the stone statue in the room just now was hanging upside down at the top of the passage, and the beast's face was close to the tip of Tarrant's nose!
"Oh my God!" Tarrant took a quick step back and drew his katana.
The corners of the statue's mouth opened slightly, two short, sharp teeth were exposed, and its wing bones slowly stretched out, like a giant bat, and its shadow was so large that it covered the entire end of the aisle.
"Let's go!" Rex reminded loudly behind him.
Tarrant stopped in front of the trap and stared face to face with the stone statue, he couldn't retreat, once the trap was triggered, the consequences were unpredictable, and he had to kill the monster in front of him in the space of these two floors.
The statue's wings began to wave, and the air flow suddenly intensified, and a large cloud of dust was sucked up in a white patch.
Tarrant's left hand blocked in front of him, lowered his vision, held his breath, the katana swayed left and right in the airflow, and he almost escaped from the control of his right hand when he was gasped, the opponent's wings were very powerful, fortunately, the space here did not allow it to play, Tarrant secretly rejoiced.
The stone statue's claws let go of the top, its body fell sharply, its wings "poofed", and its entire body hung in the air, with less than a second of space, it had adjusted the direction of its track and stopped in front of Tarrant, staring at Tarrant with murderous eyes.
It looks like it's ...... To impact!
Before Tarrant could dodge, a strong impact was already on his chest, and the sound of "whirring" wind blew in his ears, and the two walls quickly slashed in front of him, and he was pushed against the head of the stone statue and rushed into the trap aisle!
The soles of his feet kept rubbing the floor, the flame bombs burst behind the stone statue, several rows of thin arrows shot into the wall, when the lightning chain was formed, the stone statue had already flown out of the three meters with Tarrant, the flying axe, the guillotine knife, the frost, the ground subsidence, and the energy bombs were activated one by one, the speed of the stone statue swept through these traps, and the strong air flow actually blew out the torch in Tarrant's hand, Tarrant hugged the stone statue's head tightly, and reluctantly turned his head, finding that he was approaching his teammates at high speed, "Dodge!" He screamed loudly.
The moment Rex leaned over, the stone statue flew over his head with the knight, and Kitty howled violently, turning into a golden wolf and chasing after him.
The stone statue continued to rush forward, and Tarrant slowly got used to the oncoming air current, clasped his hands around the stone statue's neck, twisted his posture, and lifted his feet to lock the wing bones, but the strength of the stone statue was beyond his imagination, and he dragged Tarrant's weight to sprint forcibly.
The golden wolf leapt to its feet, its claws tearing at the wings of the statue, and its hind limbs rushed forward to try to withstand the impact of the statue.
Ignoring the squad's efforts, the powerful ancient monster blinked an eye as it dragged Tarrant and the golden wolf out of the passage and into the hall, where the stone statue began to fly upwards.
"Damn!" Tarrant was clinging to the stone statue all over his body, and when he opened his eyes and looked down, they were dozens of meters above the ground......
