Chapter 69: The Search (I)

"What is this?" At this moment, in front of Romon and Fafer, on the wall covered with stone-colored statues, the light-colored statue of the goddess was still smiling and looking at everyone, looking at Romon .

The lines are soft, the height of ordinary people, and although the facial features are blurred, it still makes people feel that at this moment, she is smiling.

It is a very detailed figure, and at first glance, the viewer may feel that it is not different from the statues around it.

But if you look closely, you will find that in fact, the craftsmen have wasted far more effort on this statue, which is slightly smaller and about the same height as a normal person, than the other statues.

Let's not talk about the body lines of this portrait, the more you look at it, the more soft and natural it will be.

It's its vaguely carved facial features, and at first glance you may think it's a failure, but if you look closely, you'll feel that it turns out that hazy beauty is also suitable for use here.

It is precisely because its appearance is very hazy, making the viewer seem to see flowers in the fog, and it is not clear that it will make people want to look at it more and more.

And the sudden peculiar attraction makes people can't take their eyes off it after looking at it.

Just now, when Romon was talking to Fafer, Romon inadvertently caught a glimpse of its face, and then he was suddenly attracted by that strange feeling.

In the process of making eye contact with the portrait, he actually saw that the goddess carved on the stone wall actually winked at him.

And when he was stunned and looked closely, nothing had changed. The statue of the goddess still smiled at everyone in the stone chamber, nothing changed, nothing changed.

At that time, Luo Meng had to explain to himself with a wry smile, Xiang Zi thought that he had good eyes, and he was also dazzled.

However, when he turned away from the figure, the power that seemed to make him think strongly about the past reappeared. And that time, Romon was sure that the feeling was definitely not an illusion.

As a druid, Romon feels more sensitive than ordinary people, and there is Shennongjiao space constantly transforming his body, although today's Romon can't say that all kinds of physical qualities are already very perfect, but, compared to other druids at the same level as him, his various senses are more sensitive and magical.

Therefore, after discovering the strangeness of this goddess statue, when Captain Haivawi announced the beginning of a carpet inspection of the entire stone room, Romon walked in front of the goddess statue for the first time.

It's just that the key that it once held in its hand miraculously disappeared after being lightly touched by Romon with his fingers.

What appeared on the figure's hand was a small lock that had been opened. The lock was naturally held in the palm of the hand, as if it had existed since the beginning.

And the disappearance of the key was so sudden and strange that if it hadn't been staring at it, Romon would almost think that he was dazzled again. However, even though he kept staring like this, he still didn't realize how the exchange of keys and locks came about.

This almost strange phenomenon made both Romon and Fafer stunned.

Romon even had the illusion that he had seen the statue of the goddess that had been smiling at them change again. Only this time, it was not the eyes of the goddess that changed, but its smile.

Its smile deepened. This was a feeling that Romon had as he looked past.

The corners of the mouth that were originally slightly pulled upwards seemed to be getting bigger and bigger after the key changed into a copper lock. It seems that this goddess statue is smiling very happily, and there is even a little more weirdness in the smile.

Almost at the same time, next to Romon and Fafel, two large stone tiles suddenly moved in both directions. If it weren't for the fact that Romon and Fafer were standing next to them, they wouldn't have been able to detect the movement of the tiles.

Don't look at the two heavy stone tiles, but for some reason, as they kept moving, they didn't even make a sound.

Just as the two large floor tiles moved quickly to the left and right, a huge entrance appeared in front of Romon and Fafer.

At the same time, a cold wind blew up from the entrance. A faint fishy smell soon spread in the stone chamber.

Although they didn't have time to make a sound here, there were still sharp-eyed people who noticed the situation not far away, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to come over.

"What's going on?" said Captain Haivawi, who had also noticed the movement here, and walked over from another corner.

Seeing that the two floor tiles had been moved to the sides, revealing such a deep entrance in the middle, Captain Havawi couldn't help but gasp when he saw it.

And everyone also understood at this time why those bear goblins could quietly enter the stone chamber and attack them.

It turns out that the roots are here. This stone place in the most corner of the place, because it is far away from everyone, so the mechanism that is already moving silently cannot attract everyone's attention after everyone is asleep.

By the time they woke up from their sleep, the bear goblins had come out from below and attacked them. Thinking that it was because of such an oversight that six lives were lost in vain, everyone sighed deeply in their hearts.

"Did you discover the secret passage?" Captain Havawi crouched down, looked carefully at the entrance, and then, puzzled, asked Romon in confusion. "Where's the agency?"

Luo Meng's gaze suddenly turned to the stone wall next to him, and with his gaze, everyone also looked at the figure on the stone wall.

"Is this a figure?" Captain Havawe couldn't help but walk up to the figure and stroke it with his hand in confusion. "Where?"

This figure, which looked no different from the other statues, was so unremarkable that Captain Havawe wouldn't have noticed it if it hadn't been for Romon's gesture.

It was at this time that he looked at the past seriously, because he did not have a keen sense like Romon, and the strange power did not seem to summon it, so Haivawi looked at it for a while, but still did not find the difference in the portrait.

So Romon showed him and the people the lock. "This is it, when I was checking around just now, I accidentally touched this place, it was supposed to be a key, but when I touched it, it turned into an open lock, and then, the entrance to the secret passage appeared. ”

"Really?" because it sounded more mysterious, Captain Havawi couldn't help but touch the lock with his hand, and he couldn't help but wonder. "It's really rare to hear of this kind of mechanism......

As he was talking, he heard an exclamation from the team member next to him, and when he looked back, the entrance that was still open just now had disappeared without a trace.

When I turned my head to look at the figure again, I saw that what it was holding in its hand was no longer the unlocked lock, but a key again.

"It seems that this is the mechanism of the dark passage. Havawi pressed the key with his hand again. So, the entrance reappeared.

At this time, everyone's eyes were looking inside the entrance.

Because the entrance is huge, although the situation inside is not very clear, but in the eyes of everyone, there is a rough impression.

Presumably, under this entrance, there must be a passage that connects to other places, or maybe there is a basement-like existence at the bottom of the stone steps.

The staircase is made of stone, and from the perspective of many people, it is impossible to see where the stairs extend, but as far as the eye can see, they are becoming more and more spacious.

Gusts of cold wind are constantly rolling from the inside to the top, which shows that this is not a sealed space. There is indeed a way to the rest of the world.

"How did the bear goblin come here, the reason has been found, now, what should we do?" Captain Havawi turned around, asking for everyone's opinion.

There was some discussion about what to do next, and some people thought that since the entrance had been found, as long as the place was carefully guarded, the safety of the night was enough to be guaranteed, and there was no need to wonder what was hidden inside the entrance. After all, everyone has gone through a hard battle, and now they have suffered heavy casualties, and they no longer have the physical strength and strength to ask for trouble.

However, there are also a group of people who believe that since the secret passage of the bear goblin has been discovered, it is necessary to find the bear goblin's lair to avenge the death of his teammates. Moreover, instead of defending with offense, it can better ensure the safety of everyone.

There are all kinds of opinions, but they are generally based on these two views. There was a heated argument between the two sides of the two points of view. In the end, it was the captain of the Blue Cassie team, who stepped forward and stopped everyone's dispute.

First of all, he affirmed the former's feelings for the sake of the team, but then, he changed his words, mentioning that it was a pity that the bones of the six teammates were still cold, and the bear goblins had not all been exterminated.

Under the influence of his speech, people who originally intended to maintain the former view gradually stopped talking. In the end, the second view, by an overwhelming margin, became the plan of action to be implemented.

According to Lan Kassi's proposal, except for the team members who were protecting the injured ones who were recovering from their surnames, the rest of the team members who were not injured should go down to the entrance to see what was hidden under this entrance.

If you can find the traces of the bear goblins, you can avenge the dead and let the six people be blinded. And when his proposal was approved by everyone, Captain Lancassie turned his gaze, looked in the direction of Rommon, and said, "Romong, you should also participate." ”
