Chapter 16: Nine Links
A few seconds later, a minotaur about the size of a lion rolled down from the side.
Sun Licheng approached and found that the brute cow was dead, the hard skin like armor was blackened by electricity, a cow's mouth was exaggeratedly open, and the boiling heat carried the smell of barbecue from it.
Sun Licheng now understands a little, as long as he enters that magic array, he will be electrocuted by the powerful lightning, and then the corpse will be thrown into this big pit and eaten by the two-headed wolf.
"Damn, it's too environmentally friendly! ”
Sun Licheng sighed.
The real situation is very different from what Sun Licheng imagined.
In order to completely eliminate the intruders, the makers of the magic circle not only set up powerful magic in the magic array, but also specially connected this cave to a hellish two-headed wolf lair.
As one of the most dangerous species in the Underworld, the Hellwolf is not only extremely powerful, but also has sharp teeth that can tear everything apart, and can eat the intruders who fall into the cave.
The few bones scattered in the cave were thrown here because the texture was too hard for the two-headed wolf to gnaw. You know, these are good things, and they are the raw materials for making artifacts.
It is said that ordinary poisons have no effect on the poisonous stomach of the two-headed wolf of hell, but they didn't expect to encounter a bug-like existence like Sun Licheng. They are also unable to resist the backlash of divine power.
As a result, the ban on the magic array was broken, and a powerful two-headed wolf family of hell perished.
But Sun Licheng, who has thick nerves, doesn't know this. At this time, he was holding a beef leg and nibbling on it, looking like a heartless foodie.
............
The flesh of the demonic beast is nourishing, and the energy in it has accelerated the healing of Sun Licheng's body, and the stump and various wounds are recovering at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
Even if the meat of the two-headed wolf in hell was not delicious, Sun Licheng forced himself to eat the corpse in this place. Of course, because of the dark nature of the two-headed wolf in hell, Sun Licheng's body had an adverse reaction. But he couldn't stand Sun Licheng's two big killers, broadcast gymnastics and tai chi, especially tai chi, which connected the yin and yang of the body, turned dryness and heat into invisibility, and quickly resolved the discomfort of the body.
After eating the two-headed wolf of hell and playing tai chi, Sun Licheng vaguely felt that his endurance had been strengthened.
Sun Licheng was very satisfied with this result, and grinned: "Regardless of the rest, endurance, it is definitely an artifact for running away." If you can't beat it, you can't run away. ”
Well, after too many blows, this thing is now full of thoughts of running away.
After cleaning up the corpses in the tunnel, Sun Licheng found that there was a small black hole at the bottom of the cave, and he didn't know where it led. He walked to the entrance of the cave and looked inside, and immediately a smell of fishy smell and death came to his face, and the cold emanation from the cave made Sun Licheng shudder.
Sun Licheng looked back, picked up a hell two-headed wolf head from the ground, weighed it in his hand, felt that it was okay, walked to the entrance of the cave, picked it up and threw it vigorously.
A scream came from the hole, startling Sun Licheng, and he hurriedly ran to the back. When they ran to the other side of the big cave, a terrifying monster's head protruded from the small hole.
The head resembled a lizard, but was much uglier than a lizard, with disgusting saliva dripping from its large mouth and a long letter sticking out of the distance. The monster was obviously enraged, and its yellow eyes like copper bells had a gloomy gaze, staring at Sun Licheng deadly.
But then, it saw the bones of the two-headed wolf and the broken head all over the ground.
Because of Sun Licheng, the entire Hell Two-Headed Wolf Family was swept away.
After this monster entered the wolf's den, it wanted to fight Qiu Feng, but it didn't expect to be hit on the head by something thrown by Sun Licheng, and the fierce it suddenly became angry, and rushed over to take revenge. Unexpectedly, the fierce Hell Two-Headed Wolf Family would all suffer from this.
"What a terrible existence this guy is!"
The monster's heart was filled with fear.
When it looks at Sun Licheng again, the latter has become a sinister creature pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
Sun Licheng watched the monster's big eyes quickly change from fierce to frightened, and then his head suddenly shrank back, and then the black hole in front of him disappeared with a snap.
This series of unexpected situations made Sun Licheng a little sluggish, "Is this okay?"
This is really okay, the crisis in front of me has actually relieved the horror of the bones in one place.
After the crisis was resolved, Sun Licheng finally confirmed that the slope overhead was the only way out of the big pit.
Sun Licheng touched the stone wall with his hand and found that the stone wall was unusually smooth, as if it had been coated with a layer of glaze. Tapping with your hand, there is a faint sound of metal.
After some thought, Sun Licheng took a lot of effort to break off a rib from the lion's body.
He flattened the bone and slammed it into the wall of the hole, clacking the tip of the rib with a click.
"Damn, how can this be?"
Facing the ribs that had been broken, Sun Licheng was speechless for a while.
"Can't you get out?"
Sun Licheng was a little discouraged.
A series of noises suddenly woke him up, and it turned out to be a kick to a dry bone. When I looked closely, I saw two marks on the hard ground.
Sun Licheng, who suddenly woke up, hurriedly picked up the dry bone, and when he saw that one end was sharper, he thrust it into the cave wall.
Sun Licheng only felt a blow in his hand, and the bones sank in. He was pleasantly surprised to pull the bone out and see that the tip was not damaged in the slightest. Flicked with his fingers, and the bones made a crisp metallic sound.
"That's a good thing!"
Sun Licheng couldn't help but praise in his heart.
In normal times, it would be impossible for Sun Licheng to leave without searching for the good things in this tunnel. But now that we're in danger, getting out of here is the priority.
He found another suitable bone, inserted two bones alternately on the slope as a support point, and slowly climbed upwards.
The hole was very deep, and Sun Licheng climbed more than 200 meters before finding the exit.
Fortunately, his stamina had just improved, otherwise this pull-up would have exhausted him to death.
............
When Sun Licheng climbed up to the exit, he found that the two stone doors that had swallowed him were less than two meters away from him.
Sun Licheng just wanted to take a closer look, and suddenly, a light appeared in front of him. Immediately after, as if the timing power was turned on, from Sun Licheng's location to the distance, the rows of stones above his head emitted bright light in turn, and after a while, the entire cave was as bright as day.
"Holy, you say this is the wizarding world? Why do I look so much like the Matrix? ”
The picture illuminated by the stones in turn can't help but give Sun Licheng the illusion of being on a space station.
Sun Licheng realized that he was in a hall at this time.
This rectangular hall is three or four hundred square meters, and the floor is paved with large stone slabs, which is smooth and clean. Overhead, there is a Gothic dome made of large gray square bricks, which is very spectacular.
After this period of adventure, Sun Licheng is no longer so excited about the emergence of man-made buildings. But when Sun Licheng looked around and saw the simple and majestic, full of power, temple-like hall, he couldn't help but be amazed.
At one end of the hall, two large iron doors were tightly closed, very conspicuous. The iron gate is thick and mysterious against the orange-red glow of the braziers on both sides.
"Miracles, treasures, and treasures?"
Seeing the scene in front of him, these three words flashed in Sun Licheng's mind.
At this moment, a voice sounded in Sun Licheng's head.
Sun Licheng must have never heard such language before, but he was clear in his heart, and he remembered a lot of consciousness transmission described in the book.
"Chosen One, you can get here as fate would have come. However, you also need to solve the problem of separating the ring. If you fail to complete your task before a candle is burned out, you will be punished by the gods and confess to the great gods in the flames. ”
There was coldness and disdain in his voice.
"Hey, what's the ring problem?"
Sun Licheng was dizzy when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.
But he didn't wait for an explanation, but a very thin candle appeared in front of him. The candle hung in mid-air and had already begun to burn.
"I'm dizzy!"
Sun Licheng couldn't help but let out a miserable scream. This is obviously the rhythm of letting him die.
It was only then that a ball of light appeared in front of his eyes. The light cluster slowly became transparent, revealing what was inside.
It was made of metal and bones of an unknown beast, with nine rings and a handle. Now the nine rings are set all over the handle. Although the handle and ring are completely in the Western magic style, seeing this thing, Sun Licheng couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Nine Rings!"
Nine rings is an ancient intellectual toy of the flower family, which has a history of at least several hundred years, and has been widely popular among the people after the Song Dynasty. It is made of iron wire and iron sheets, and has a total of nine rings and a shank. The way to play is to put the nine rings into the handle one by one, and then remove them one by one. It's quite a test of human intelligence to play.
In his previous life, Sun Licheng deliberately bought nine consecutive rings to play with the children in the family, and the level was quite good.
Because of the urgency of time, he didn't wait for the light cluster to disappear completely, so he picked up the Nine Links and untied them.
Sun Licheng's movements were skillful, and soon the first ring was removed.
"Huh?"
The voice was a little taken aback.
Without waiting for Sun Licheng to react, the temperature in the hall suddenly rose.
A large magic array appeared on the ground, and scorching waves of qi continued to pour out from the magic array. Sun Licheng even noticed that the candle seemed to burn a little faster.
"I'm going to go, don't bring such a temporary increase in difficulty!"
Sun Licheng couldn't help screaming loudly. Then he desperately sped up the speed of cracking the Nine Rings.
He only felt that the temperature around him was getting higher and higher, his hair was curled a little, and the sweat on his body fell to the ground like raindrops.
Faced with life and death, Sun Licheng burst out of his greatest potential, and now he has completely entered an ethereal state, his hands are flying up and down, and rings are taken off one by one.
The candles were burning rapidly, and only the sound of Sun Licheng operating the Nine Rings and the whirring pant could be heard in the hall.
Finally, when the candle was about to burn out, Sun Licheng let out a loud shout, and he took off the last ring.
"See! You bastard. I'm done!"
After succeeding, Sun Licheng held the untied Nine Links and shouted into the air, venting his anger.
Maybe it's a loss, maybe it's disdain, and no sound comes from again.
The magic circle on the ground disappeared, the temperature in the hall also dropped, and the two iron doors slowly opened with the sound of tooth-aching friction.
