Leo, Jason, Nelson, and Catherine were all dazed when they heard the name, and they didn't understand what it meant.

On the contrary, Sean showed a surprised expression, took a belt that was about to fall apart from the hand of High Priest Denis, looked at it carefully, and questioned slightly: "You mean to say that these corpses are the non-existent First Army?"

Leo and Catherine didn't know much about the First Army in the mouth of High Priest Denis, but Sean had studied the materials of the Lancy slave revolt for this underground trip.

Although most of the qualifications related to the slave uprising were destroyed by the French royal family, the English royal family, which has always liked to work against the French royal family, is very willing to keep some secondary information that can disgrace the French royal family and not stimulate the other party too much, and about the qualifications of the first army, Sean also saw it there.

None of the scholars who study the slave revolt have a clear opinion as to whether King Yasin founded the First Army, because from any of the campaign materials that can be collected now, there is no existence of the First Army, and everyone's knowledge of the First Army comes from the diary of a slave.

It's just that because the slave himself had just learned to write when he wrote that diary, and his handwriting was very sloppy, and he often wrote the wrong words, most people thought that the First Army was just caused by the slave's miswritten words.

"The First Army is real. High Priest Denis said with great certainty: "The people who make up the First Army are all the best gladiators in the gladiatorial arena, so some people at that time also called the First Army the Guards of King Yasin. Saying that, he looked at the belt in his hand, then at the corpses on the ground, and said, "I didn't expect that the First Army would all die here before they had time to make a name for themselves in this world." ”

"Is it the best?" Leo walked into the corpses, casually looked through the bones, found some traces of battle, and then analyzed: "What they encountered was not a surprise attack, everyone was ready to attack, all of them were killed from the front by the attacker, and the attacker's weapon was very sharp and powerful, and the combat power of the two was not at the same level at all." ”

Leo analyzes the clues found in the corpses, and the auxiliary brain system gathers these clues, the location of the corpses, the circumstances of death, and other data at the same time, and analyzes them, and soon forms a battle reenactment image, recreating the scene of these people when they died in front of his eyes.

After seeing the analyzed footage, Leo stood up from the pile of corpses and said to the group, "The thing that killed them has at least eight arms. ”

Everyone felt a little ridiculous about Leo's conclusion, but when they thought of the gargoyle they had seen before, they felt that the eight-armed attacker Leo was talking about was not necessarily impossible.

While everyone was still immersed in the fact that King Yassin's First Army had been wiped out by the eight-armed attackers, Leo suddenly stood up and quickly exited the gate, and at the same time let Catherine and them withdraw from the door.

"What's going on?" asked Sean, who had retreated outside the gate, with a puzzled expression.

Leo stared ahead, tucked the king back into his waist, drew two battle axes, and said, "The sound of gears is approaching." ”

As soon as Leo's words fell, the others could also hear the faint sound of gears in the passage inside the gate in front of them, and it became louder and louder, as if something was approaching.

However, when the sound was very clear, and the High Priest Denis became extremely nervous, and took out their weapons and was ready to fight, Leo, who had reminded everyone at the beginning, relaxed and looked up at the top of the passage ahead.

When the sound of the gears made everyone feel that the enemy was not far ahead, all the sound of the gears stopped, and then a fire suddenly rose overhead, and the light of the fire reflected off the smooth stone wall overhead, completely illuminating the entire passage behind the door.

At this time, you can see that the maker of the previous gear sound is the brazier hanging at the top of the passage, and the sound of the gear just now should be the sound caused by the metal basin falling from the top.

The fires were all burning violently in these metal pots hung in chains, and the number of braziers was innumerable, but they stretched to the depths of the passage, as far as the eye could see.

When the firelight illuminated the entire passage, everyone except Leo, who had already learned about the situation in the passage through the spiritual network, was shocked by what they saw, because the corpses they found were not only the doorway, but the entire passage.

In addition to the corpses of the soldiers of the First Army, there are more than a dozen gargoyle-like remains, which are very strangely shaped, all of them are humanoid lower bodies and four humanoid upper bodies to form a nondescript conjoined gargoyle, and the appearance of this gargoyle is exactly the same as the eight-armed attacker that Leo mentioned earlier.

Compared to the narrow and low passage on the other side of the Ground Rift Abyss, the passage in front of him was obviously much wider and taller, more than eight meters high and six meters wide, but even so, it was still too narrow for the large number of First Army.

It is conceivable that the scene at that time, the people of the First Army were piled up in this passage, more than a dozen conjoined stone statues wielded eight sharp blades, not afraid of knives and guns rushing into the pile, any slash can kill and injure a large number of soldiers, and the only thing the First Army can do is to use human lives to pile up these dozen stone statues and monsters.

"It's really tragic!" even a person like Sean, who puts interests first, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene in front of him.

"Let's go! I hope there aren't any of these gargoyles ahead. Leo, who had seen the more tragic battlefields, did not rush out much, and when the crowd had recovered from the shock a little, he stepped forward.

Seeing this, the others didn't think much about anything else, and quickly followed.

At first, everyone was careful to avoid these corpses when walking because of some concerns, but after Leo sped up his pace, everyone couldn't care about the worries in their hearts, and walked directly on these corpses.

Therefore, the clatter of broken bones kept sounding in the passage, which made people feel very mad after listening to it, and they couldn't help but shiver.

Just when everyone's attention was attracted by the corpses everywhere in front of them, Leo, who was leading the way, shifted his attention to the brazier above his head.

Just now, Leo smelled a unique smell, and this unique smell he had only smelled after the monster's body was still evaporated when he burned the monster to death, which was the unique smell produced during the burning of the body fluids.

Through the spiritual network, he found that the substances burning in the brazier were a special grease, even after so many years, these greases still did not rot or evaporate, and these greases were also very flammable, and they were completely ignited when they were stained with a little spark, which was consistent with the monster's bodily fluids.

Leo felt that if the grease was made from the bodily fluids of those monsters, as he had guessed, then it would be not difficult to guess what the grease was made of, and it made him think that these Nilgardians were not as innocent and pitiful as Catherine and the others said.

Although the passage was long, it took much less time to reach the end of the passage than the one on the other side of the abyss, as the path was straight and there were no detours.

I don't know if it's because the battle here hundreds of years ago has destroyed all the means of defense here, and the group didn't encounter any attacks along the way.

On the contrary, there are as many as forty broken conjoined stone statues of all kinds, and all the stone statues without exception have been completely destroyed by ancient wizards, which also makes everyone wonder if these stone statues may be all the defense forces here.

At the end of the passage is a small artificially excavated cavern, the size of a normal inn hall, and the interior is very empty, with nothing superfluous except for another bronze gate opposite the exit of the passage and a stone platform in the middle of the cave that is quite eye-catching.

But the most puzzling thing is that there is no corpse in this cave, as if there is an invisible force at the exit of the cave that blocks all the corpses in the passage.

Unlike the previous bronze gate, this one has no rust, and the surface is shining with a golden yellow light under the light from the brazier, which looks very solemn.

Compared to the expensive bronze gate, the stone platform in the center of the cave is so insignificant.

There is no mysterious and luxurious pattern on the surface of the stone platform, and the overall shape has not been carefully carved, it looks like the person who dug the cave made a stone pier for resting, but forgot to erase the stone platform when he left.

However, it was such an ordinary stone platform, but in Leo's eyes, it was more valuable than the well-preserved bronze gate, because Leo found that his spiritual net could not penetrate the stone platform, and was rejected just like the high-energy force field before.

In this way, while the group walked to the bronze gate, studied the Nilgardian text and patterns on it, and considered how to open it, Leo walked to the stone platform in the center of the cave and put his hand on the stone platform.

"Unknown psionic props, unknown functions, unabsorbable. ”

Leo looked at the analysis results that appeared in front of him, and had some doubts in his heart, although the parabrain system had analyzed the results, Leo still thought that the results were not right, or not comprehensive.

Because the moment he touched the stone platform, he had an inexplicable feeling that this stone platform should be the source of the high-energy force field that disappeared just now.

"Is this stone platform special?" Jason was not interested in the words and patterns on the side of the bronze door, and followed Leo's side, seeing that Leo was very focused on studying this stone platform that seemed too ordinary to him, he couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"It's not special anywhere else, but don't you think it's special here?" Leo smiled, asked Jason rhetorically, and said to Catherine, who was trying to push the door again, but the gate was unresponsive, "Catherine, can you come and touch this stone platform? ”

"What is this?" Catherine walked over when she heard this, and looked at the stone platform that made her feel very ordinary in confusion, although she was a little puzzled in her heart, but she still touched the stone platform according to Leo's request.

When Catherine touched the stone platform, Leo was also prepared for emergencies, and the others were also very vigilant, but surprisingly, after Catherine touched it, there was no reaction or change, just like when Leo touched it just now.

Puzzled, Leo asked Catherine to touch different parts of the platform a few more times, but the result was the same.

Sean, who was next to him, saw that Catherine, the only one who could open the bronze door, was called to do something useless, and couldn't help but shout: "Instead of touching the useless stone platform, think about how to open this door!"

"How do you know it's useless?" Jason, who didn't like Sean very much, immediately replied, and said with some nonsense: "You're not this stone." ”

Sean didn't bother to argue with a rough man like Jason, and said directly to Leo: "This stone is obviously a prop deliberately arranged by the Nirgardian people to confuse people, think about it, people outside will see a stone platform here at first glance when they come from the passage, and they will definitely be curious about why this seemingly ordinary stone platform is here, and think that there must be some device on this stone platform, so they will pay all their attention to the stone platform, forgetting that this door is the focus of the whole cave." ”

The high priest of Denis next to him obviously disagreed with Sean's words, and retorted: "When this place was built, the Nirgardians still controlled the entire underground city-state, so the people who came in and out of here must be Nirgardians, do you think the Nirgardians would specially arrange such a stone platform, just to let themselves suffer this kind of deception that they will not be fooled at all?"

Sean asked rhetorically, "Then what do you think of this stone platform?"

"I don't know, I just think it'......" High Priest Denis touched the stone platform with his hands, and his face showed a solemn expression, "This stone platform is dangerous. ”

Although High Priest Denis could not be as sensitive to the energy force field as Leo's spirit network, and he could immediately discover the spiritual power field on this stone platform after entering this cave, after touching it with his own hands, he could clearly feel the strength of the force field contained in the stone platform, which made him feel terrified.

At this moment, Nelson, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke: "Could it be the altar?"

When he said this, everyone immediately wanted to refute it, but soon they realized that there didn't seem to be anything wrong with Nelson's words.

Almost everyone, including Leo, will involuntarily think of images in their minds when they hear about the altar, such as the high platform with religious decorations, such as the solemn religious buildings around it, and so on.

However, these ideas are not true, and if there can be an altar with a strong religious atmosphere, why can't there be such an ordinary-looking altar?
