Chapter Seventy-Five: The Real Seventy-Two Graves of Doubt
Under the entrance of the cave is an extremely steep downward passage, and this passage seems to be spiraling downward, Shi Di and the others are rotating and sliding along the passage at a very fast speed, after three or four large circles, everyone feels that their brains are messed up like a mess, and they can't help but feel nauseous and want to vomit, but this passage has no sign of ending, and they obviously have to go through a long period of torment.
Shi Dixin's heart is bad, it seems that it was just because he was too worried about Yimiao, unconsciously neglected to investigate the surrounding environment, and stepped on some mechanism, which led everyone to fall into the trap, although there is no danger found in the passage at present, but there is something at the end of the passage that is difficult to say.
What if there's a wooden thorn trap...... Or maybe it's a raging fire...... Or even the bloody maws of some kind of behemoth......
Shi Di had all kinds of terrible pictures in his mind, no, no matter what was below, the top priority was to protect everyone as much as possible, and he must not just sit back and wait, thinking of this, Shi Di opened his mouth and shouted.
"Guci, can you hear me, is your light shield able to cast now?"
I only heard Gu Ci, who didn't know which two people were stuck in the middle, responded.
"It's no problem to cast it, but I'm afraid the effect won't be too good, and now the distance between us is too far, even if the light shield is cast, it can only cover the two people in front of me and behind me, and the others can't take care of it. ”
"It doesn't matter, you release it first, how many people can you take care of, Yimiao, where are you, can you cast a frost shield on everyone right now?"
Yi Miao didn't answer, but directly chanted the incantation, and soon, Shi Di found that there was an extra layer of ice blue halo on his body, and a burst of bright white light came from near the location of Gu Ci above.
Well, it's not streaking, and while these shields aren't necessarily effective against threats from below, it's better to have their protection than to face the trap directly with their bodies.
With the protection of the frost shield, the gravel and sand in the passage are also blocked out, which makes their posture a little better, not too embarrassing, but this passage goes around in circles one after another, and the feeling of nausea and vomiting in their hearts is getting worse and worse, especially the whereabouts will also bring them a deep sense of weightlessness, which will teach them to suffer.
They circled down for about five or six minutes, and they didn't know how deep they had reached, and just when everyone felt that they couldn't bear it for a second, the end of the passage came.
Below is a huge space, and from a distance you can see several wooden plank bridges crisscrossing the bottom, and below the plank bridge is the abyss of the black hole, which can be imagined with your toes, and it will not be a pleasant thing to fall.
Shi Di was third in the team, in front of him were Yi Miao and Ke Meng, and when Shi Di entered this space, the two people in front of him had already quickly reacted to the changes in the environment, one activated the wind armor, the other summoned the broom, and neither of them fell into the abyss, seeing Shi Di come out, Yi Miao broom limped and took him down.
Next is the turtle of Shuwan, Guci, Tamer, Xiaobaize, Yansing, Helen, Ida and Guci, but Meng quickly catches Shuwan, Xiaobaize and Helen have wings, and Helen also grabbed her sister Ida.
The remaining three people and one turtle were not so lucky, they had just come out of the passage that had turned their heads dizzy, and they were about to fall into the abyss, and they fell straight down.
Shi Di was just about to summon Xiao Bai Ze to summon the two-winged evil dragon, but after thinking about it, he didn't speak, but activated the adsorption divine power he had obtained not long ago, he looked at the three people and one turtle who fell down, and said silently in his heart, Let them come to me.
As soon as this thought moved, I saw that the three people and one turtle immediately stopped falling, but flew upwards at an extremely fast speed, and finally suspended beside Yi Miao and Shi Di.
Although it is to avoid falling into the abyss, but this time it is really unbearable!
The crisis was temporarily lifted, and the group waited on the plank bridge closest to them, resting for a while before relieving themselves.
Shi Di finally recovered from the feeling of nausea and vomiting just now, calmed down, and began to observe what kind of space they had fallen into.
Over here...... It was very solemn, although they were now in a simple wooden plank bridge, which was still in a decaying state due to age, but the wonderful patterns carved on the railings around the wooden plank bridge, and the small totemic sculptures that appeared on both sides of the wooden plank bridge every other distance, were all sending a solemn message to the times.
Moreover, there are no other creatures in such a vast space, and the silence around them can only be heard by the sound of their breathing, and looking up at the top of the dome, and then looking down at the abyss that leads to which it leads, such a place will teach people to feel their own insignificance unconsciously.
Those small totem statues should be filled with lamp oil, and their eyes are emitting flickering candlelight at the moment, presumably as permanent lamps are placed on both sides of the wooden plank bridge, because of the existence of these permanent lanterns, this space where there is no light source is reflected transparently, so that Shi Di can maintain a normal line of sight.
Shi Di looked at the end of the plank bridge, trying to find a way out, or maybe the Wuji apricot yellow flag they were looking for was in this position, thinking of this, Shi Di hurriedly took out the four flags he had obtained, and sure enough, they had begun to flash golden light regularly.
It seems that the priority is not to return to the ground, but to find the yellow flag in it.
At this time, Shuwan suddenly spoke, only to see her constantly rubbing the small totem statue beside her, and said thoughtfully.
"These statues ...... I knew them in an autobiography written by an earlier man, in which he mentioned that he had entered the Seventy-Two Tombs, and that the statues had been described, and that since we had entered the Seventy-Two Tombs, what we had seen and heard was very different from what he had described, so I thought he was just talking nonsense, but now it seems that what he wrote is true. ”
Shuwan paused, turned his head to look at Xiang Shidi, and said again.
"Shi Di, I think we didn't enter the real Seventy-two Graves of Doubt until this time. ”
Shuwan's speculation is not wrong, this place is called the Seventy-two Doubtful Tombs, in fact, it is not groundless, the mausoleum group mentioned by Shuwan is indeed in this location, but because the age is too old, the vicissitudes of life, the geological environment here has changed greatly, so that the mausoleum group is hidden in a very deep position below the surface, and the new surface has become the gathering place of the strange beasts they saw.
Hearing this, Shi Di immediately became vigilant, and he started the "Perfect Thief Essential Book" It has been learned that in ancient times, there were often a large number of organs hidden in the tombs, and these organs were set up by the owners of the tombs in order to prevent tomb robbers from entering them, so all of them were ruthless organs that cost people's lives.
"There are probably a lot of traps set up here, everyone must be careful at all times, don't act rashly, everyone follow me closely, and I can continue to move forward until I get out of the seventy-two graves, understand?"
"No problem. ”
Knowing that this was a place where there was a hidden murderous intention, the others did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and they all agreed to Shi Di with serious faces.
Shi Di cautiously leaned towards the front of the plank bridge, walked a distance, and after confirming that there was no problem, he turned back and asked the others to follow, and so on, the speed of progress was very slow, but this kind of thing was not in a hurry, compared with efficiency, in the end, it was more important to live.
In this way, I touched forward for about ten minutes, Shi Di saw two giant statues in the distance of the plank bridge, and I was happy, thinking that I had touched the end, but when I walked in, I found that it was just two large lanterns, and the plank bridge was still extending forward, and I didn't know where it led.
No, I'm afraid there is something strange about these large ever-bright lights.
Before Shi Di walked around those giant statues, he had already found something unusual, there were some subtle traces on the abdomen of those statues, and ordinary people could not find these traces if they did not approach the statues and observe them carefully, but Shi Di recognized them at a glance.
It's a horizontal slasher!
Shi Di's heart moved, and motioned for everyone behind him to stop in place for a while, causing Ke Meng to launch the Wind Armor to circle around in the air, and around to the opposite side of the giant statue, and let Yi Miao use the freezing technique to condense a humanoid ice sculpture, and activated his own adsorption divine power, slowly sucking the ice sculpture in front of him.
Sure enough, as the ice sculpture passed in front of the large lantern, the trap was triggered.
I saw that three large knives about two meters long quickly flew out of the abdomen of the large everlasting lantern on the right, cutting the humanoid ice sculpture horizontally into three pieces, and the broadsword flew impartially to the position where there were corresponding slight traces on the abdomen of the large everlasting lantern on the left, and were bounced back, and the three broadswords flew back and forth between the two large ever-bright lanterns in this way.
It is indeed a clever and ruthless mechanism, not only will it kill the first person, but the person who follows behind will also be dismantled because of being caught off guard, and it can also form an obstacle and block the way of others.
Everyone felt a palpitation when they saw this scene, if it wasn't Shi Di who discovered the mechanism just now, then it would not be this ice sculpture that was cut into three pieces, but one of them......
Seeing that the mechanism had been triggered, Shi Di motioned for everyone to fly over the mechanism with the help of Yi Miao, Ke Meng, and Helen. Not only is this not the end they want to reach, but it is also a place where terrorist organs are hidden, which is indeed a disappointing discovery.
There was no way, so I could only move forward along the plank bridge, but fortunately, the frequency of the golden light emitted from those innate Five Elements Flags seemed to be faster than before, and it seemed that their general direction was still not wrong.
They moved forward for more than ten minutes, and met the second pair of large everlasting lights, drawing gourds in the same way, after triggering the mechanism, they flew over a pair of large everlasting lights, because of the experience of the last time, this time everyone's cooperation was a lot of tacit understanding.
Finally, after passing through six pairs of large lanterns, the end of the boardwalk came into view.
Is that...... The end of a broken bridge?
Easter Egg Theatre:
Shi Di: (Spinning and sliding down the passage at a very fast speed) Huh? Why do you feel wet on your head? Could it rain in the passage? What kind of rain is this, why is it so sour? The environmental pollution of these 72 tombs is too serious, and the pH is less than 4, right?
Gu Ci: (wipes his mouth and burps) I'm sorry, I've had the problem of motion sickness since I was a child, and I was dizzy from everything, and I was ......
