Chapter 7 Triggering Tasks
Ding dong!
A hint sounded in the minds of the three of them.
γTrigger Side Quest Phase 1 - Catacombsγ
[Goal: Find the Hun Blood Jade in the Tomb]
[Reward: Performance Value 1 point]
[Note: Once this task is accepted, it cannot be terminated until this stage is completed, and the task reward can be accumulated and increased with the value of the completed stage.] γ
"What is this? We seem to have triggered the mission, but accept it, it's dark under this tomb, and there will be any danger. Yue Ruxue couldn't make up her mind in her heart, so she could only say what she thought.
Don't look at Wang Erzhuang's big shoulders and round waist, in fact, he also muttered in his heart, after all, he was the only one who had been chased and killed by the spirit guard, that feeling of despair Wang Erzhuang didn't want to experience a second time, and was more inclined to give up the task in his heart, but he was not in a hurry, in comparison, Wang Erzhuang wanted to hear Cao Xuan's opinion, so he looked at Cao Xuan.
"Why don't you pick it up?" Cao Xuan asked rhetorically, took the task in his mind, and continued: "This is simply a task to give rewards for nothing, from the literal meaning of the task, the first stage is mainly to search for items, there must be dangers, but it will not be now, at least it will not appear in the first stage, if there is a risk later, we can give up the follow-up task and directly settle the reward, isn't this a vain?" β
"Another point, judging from the fact that it can trigger side quests here, I guess it should have a lot to do with the main story, and I have a hunch that maybe this place will become a breakthrough for this mission."
After hearing this, Wang Erzhuang immediately took over the task, patted Cao Xuan's shoulder and said with a smile: "It has to be a top student who has studied in you, that is, smart!" The head of this analysis is the Tao. β
Seeing that both of them took over the task, Yue Ruxue naturally had no objection, after all, she had no opinions.
Taking the light in Wang Erzhuang's hand, Cao Xuan was the first to walk down, the opening of the tomb was not complicated, there was only a diagonal downward passage, because of the deep burial in the soil, the temperature was relatively cold and damp, resulting in a small amount of water on the ground, and this became a good environment for the growth of moss, and the walls of the tomb were covered in patches, and the dripping water continued to slide down from them, splashing on the scattered stones, and there was a ticking sound from time to time.
In the process of going deeper, Cao Xuan asked about Yue Ruxue's talent.
"What are your natural abilities? This is a privacy question, and I won't force you to answer me. β
"It doesn't matter if I tell you, my talent is called [Emergency Healing], and I can recover minor injuries."
Cao Xuan nodded: "This is a good talent, to put it bluntly, she is a wet nurse, and it is of great use." β
"Nurse?" Yue Ruxue muttered, as if she had thought of something, and her face was slightly red.
As we continued to go deeper into the tomb, the passage gradually became wider, from the distance of barely two people at the beginning, to now it can accommodate about four people at the same time, and Cao Xuan continued to observe the changes around him with a lamp.
The space here seems to be much larger than imagined, after walking for so long, the depth here is already very far from the ground, and the direct face of the scene is constantly expanding, in the depth, I am afraid that only by the mapping range of the lighting can no longer see the whole picture of the vicinity, what is the purpose of the tomb that took a lot of manpower to excavate, is it simply a burial, or is there another picture? I think only the owner of the mausoleum group, Park Guyeol Shan Yu, can have such treatment, but if Park Gulie Shan Yu is buried at the end of this tomb, then who was buried in the middle of the tomb group at the beginning, is it a fake tomb? It was only set up to hide people's eyes.
Knock knock knock~!
The rhythmic percussion sounded again, this time closer, and in the ears of Cao Xuan and the others, the timbre was even deeper and more intriguing, as if it was catering to the beating of the heart, making people feel inexplicably flustered, and it lasted longer than the last time, as if it was welcoming the arrival of several visitors.
The footsteps of Cao Xuan and the others were also blocked, and the lights were raised, in front of them were two huge stone doors, with a small number of gaps in the middle, which had obviously been opened, the top of the door was full of skulls, and the hollow eyes were facing Cao Xuan and a few people, as if to warn outsiders not to step in, and the characters engraved on the stone door were crooked, which was the same rock inscription as the tombstone before.
"It's horrible! There are so many skulls, let's not go in. The sight in front of her made Yue Ruxue retreat.
Looking at the darkness in the gap in the stone gate, Wang Erzhuang's footsteps also retreated slightly, as if he was afraid that some monster would suddenly appear behind him, and dodged in advance.
Ignoring the small movements of the two, Cao Xuan said to himself: "This skull should be a ritual, I remember it seems to be called a headhunting, a symbol of pride for the Huns." β
Wang Erzhuang took a sip: "This Hun is too inhuman, it is really cruel to cut off people's heads and hang them here as glory." β
"There's something even more cruel." Cao Xuan approached the stone gate and said as he walked: "After the Xiongnu killed the enemy, they cut off the human heads, dried their skin and flesh, and opened the skulls to make drinking vessels, this kind of finished product is also an important sacrifice for the Huns, especially in the alliance with other tribes to swear This thing is an indispensable existence, note that most of the enemies of the Huns are Han Chinese." β
"And so much more? This is simply a bunch of brutes, no, I will go out and find my shovel back, and dig up all the graves on it for him, as if I was helping my ancestors vent their anger. Wang Erzhuang said indignantly.
Illuminating the rock text on the door, Cao Xuan reached out and touched it, and a line of information appeared in his mind.
The rock inscription on the door on the left reads: "The wicked will never be saved." γ
The rock inscription on the door on the right is [Whoever opens this door will be the enemy of the Pugu tribe.] γ
It seems that this is not the mausoleum of Park Goo-yeol, the man of sin? Does it mean the enemy? Is it necessary to go to great lengths to build a tomb of this magnitude for the sake of the enemy? In ancient times, it was undoubtedly very difficult to build this place by manpower, and I think there must be some reason for this, and the answer may lie in it.
Trying to push open the stone door, Cao Xuan found that he couldn't shake it with his own strength alone, and the gap in the middle was a little too small.
"Second Uncle Zhuang, please try to push the stone gate, here you have the greatest strength and talent."
Shaking his arms and moving his muscles and bones, Wang Erzhuang signaled Cao Xuan to step back a little, his calloused big hand pressed against the stone gate, stepped on his feet, sank his shoulders hard, and shouted: "Ahhh β
Yue Ruxue looked at Wang Erzhuang, who was bursting with green muscles, and encouraged him in the back: "Come on!" Second Uncle Zhuang, the door is about to move. β
Looking at Wang Erzhuang, who was trying his best to push the door, Cao Xuan thought to himself.
The strength is really amazing, his basic strength attribute must be very high, this mysterious infernal college is really full of infinite possibilities, and now we belong to the assessment of newcomers can appear this kind of inhuman strength, it is hard to imagine what kind of power the old students who have already enrolled in the school will have.
"Uncle Erzhuang, it's okay, it's enough distance for one person to pass." Cao Xuan motioned to stop.
Retracting his strength, Wang Erzhuang sat directly on the ground panting, unable to speak for a while.
Carrying the lamp, Cao Xuan squeezed through the gap and came to the darkness behind the stone gate, and when he saw the scene around him clearly, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"It's !!!!"
