Chapter 103: The "Spider" Man of the Death Chamber

"Bach, smash the gate open for me!" Goethe, who was annoyed, glanced at the empty treasure box, turned around and roared, and the executive priest Bach immediately led the priesthood to cast a spell to bombard the gate, but the heavy gate was extremely strong and difficult to destroy for a while.

Rogge, who was watching coldly, glanced into the treasure box and saw a note in the treasure box, he reached out and took out the note from it, and saw a paragraph written on it.

"Dear Mr. Rogge, I believe that when this letter is taken out, it must be in your hands, and you need to know the present situation, this hall will soon be filled with water, and if you do not find your way out, you will surely drown here. ”

"That's great news!" Rogge muttered to himself, continuing to look down.

"There is a door on your left and right, and behind the door there may be a way to live or a way to die, and behind one of the doors is a deadly venom that will surely kill if it melts into the water and touches your body!"

"Finally, I would like to give you a piece of advice, it is best to move quickly, otherwise once the water level is too high, even if you find the birth gate, you will not be able to open it, good luck!"

Before the last word could be read, a hand snatched the note from Rogge's hand, Rogge glanced at the face of the high priest Tie Qing, pointed to the note and said, "William's gift, this time you should understand why he told us the whereabouts of the holy artifact!"

Before he could finish speaking, water began to spray downward from the honeycomb-shaped hole in the top of his head, spraying down on the people's bodies like a torrential rain, and Rog hurriedly stepped back, turned and ran away from the water to the door in the direction of his left.

He came to the door, looked the stone door up and down, and carefully tried to push it with his white gloved hand, the stone door did not move, it seemed that it took a lot of strength to push it open, the stone door did not have any handles on the surface, and the door was very tight, and it could be seen that it had been specially treated.

He turned and walked past the stone table, and walked quickly to the door on the right, which did not look different, and when he looked down at the crack in the door, he saw that some ant carcasses had been washed out by the water on the ground.

Rog squatted down and picked up a handful of water with his hand, stared at the ant corpse floating in the water for a moment, threw the water in his hand away, leaned over to the door, stared at the crack in the door on the ground for a moment, and suddenly got up and ran to the door on the left.

At this time, the water was already up to the ankles, and the high priest and the priesthood were still bombarding the gate with magic endlessly, but with little success, Rogge ignored them, went straight to the stone door on the left, crouched down and stared at the crack and the ground below the door for a moment, then got up and stretched out his hand to the door.

When his hand touched the door, the movement suddenly stopped, he quickly withdrew his hand, took a few steps back and looked up at the two corners above the stone door, the left and right upper corners of the door frame were clean, and there was nothing.

"Lilith, do me a favor. Rogge whispered a few words to the little owl hiding in his hood, and the little one leaped into the air and flew against the wall to the ceiling, and she flew around the four corners of the hall and landed on top of Rogge, whispering a few words in his ear.

"Hmph, I knew it was going to be like this!" Rogge sneered softly, turned away from the stone door and walked to the wall facing the gate, raised his left claw blade and shot five blades at the wall, and the blades formed five step-like bumps on the wall.

Rog relied on the blade to climb upwards, constantly using his mind to control the blade to continue the stairs upward, and finally approached the roof, where he saw many cobwebs at the corners between the ceiling and the wall, and there were small holes in the back of the cobwebs that looked like vents.

"We've found it!" Rogge looked inside the vent and saw a narrow passageway, about two people wide, high enough to fit most of a person's body, and had to be bent over the waist to enter.

He was about to return to the ground when he heard someone on the ground below shouting, "What are you doing?"

Rogge looked back at the anxious and surprised face of the High Priest Goethe, pointed to the wall in front of him and said, "It's useless to bombard the gates, you have to bombard here before we can escape!"

"Didn't you say that one of the two doors would allow us to get out?" asked the high priest, looking at the left and right doors.

"Do you want me to explain to you now why you didn't walk through the door?" Rogge stared at him in annoyance and shouted, "By the time I explain it to you, your priesthood is already fully hydrated!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you once, get out of the way!" the High Priest had no choice but to nod his head in agreement, and Rog quickly climbed down, and when he reached the middle of the wall, he turned back and made a gesture to the High Priest.

The High Priest raised the golden scepter in his hand, the head of the scepter bloomed with a brilliant light, and a dazzling holy light bombarded the wall above Rogge, only to hear a loud bang, a hole burst in the wall, and flying earth and stones flew over Rog's head and scattered in the water around the High Priest.

Shaking off the dust, Rog climbed up to the mouth of the cave and got in, he turned around with difficulty in the narrow hole, and shouted to the high priest, "Let your priest take off his robe and tie it into a rope, so that you can climb up!"

The high priest immediately ordered, and the priests took off their robes and tied them together, and Rog commanded five blades to cut grooves in the stone wall at the same time, and then asked Lilith to bring up the rope made of the robes.

He plunged the silver sword into the stone wall beside him, tied the rope to the hilt of the silver sword, and then let Goethe and the others climb up one by one, and crawled out along the passage behind him, and when the last priest got into the hole, the water in the cave had long since reached half of the walls of the hall.

"I'm sorry, William the Bloody Hand, this time I've disappointed you again!" Rogge stared at the holy weapon treasure box on the stone table soaked in water, sneered softly, turned and pulled out the silver sword and left.

They crawled along the passage for an unknown amount of time, until they reached the other end of the passage, where Goethe shattered the web wall with holy light, revealing a man-wide exit.

"I have to say this, Mr. Rogge," said the high priest, who was waiting at the bottom of the cave, as Rogge jumped last from the mouth of the cave into the stone chamber, "and if it weren't for you, we would all be buried here today." ”

"You're welcome, High Priestess, I owe you a favor for not being caught, and I should pay it back to you!" Rogge smiled and shook his head.

"But I'm curious as to why you knew there was such a passage, and why you didn't choose to open the two side doors, which clearly said that we should choose one of the two doors. Goethe asked, confused.

"Originally, I thought that one of the two doors was the way out," Rogge said as he unwrung out his cloak and wrung it out, "but I found dead ants washed out by the water under the door on the right-hand side." ”

"You mean the ants were poisoned to death?" Goethe asked.

"I thought so at first, but why do ants that have been poisoned and die have mutilated limbs?" Rogge stared at Goethe's face and shook his head, "I wondered about it, and then I found some small scratches on the ground near the crack in the door, do you understand what I mean?"

Goethe shook his head blankly, and Rogge said, "This shows that these ants were deliberately put into the crack of the door with tools, and that they were not poisoned by the venom inside the door, but by the corpses collected to forge clues." ”

"I see, then the door on the left should be the exit!" Goethe suddenly realized.

"It was my first thought, but as I reached out to push the door, it occurred to me that William wouldn't be so stupid, he would not be so stupid as to leave such a clumsy clue for his opponent to find a flaw. Rogge said with a smile and shook his head.

"So I stepped back to see if there were any cobwebs on the two corners of the door frame, and when I first entered the hall, I found that there were a lot of cobwebs at the door and in the corners of the hall, indicating that there were many spiders living in the hall, but there were no cobwebs at the corners of the door and the entire wall, isn't it strange?"

"What does this mean?" asked Rogge as the High Priest took off his robe and handed it to Bach, the Executing Priest beside him, to wring out the water on it.

"Insects are sensitive to dangerous smells, and spiders are no exception, and they avoid poisonous and harmful locations when they weave webs to build their nests, so there are no cobwebs on the entire wall near that door. ”

"I made Lilith fly around the four walls, and found that only the main gate and the two walls facing the gate had spiders, combined with the dead ants and scratches I found on the door on the right, indicating that William deliberately left a flaw to lure me to open the door on the left, but no matter which one we opened, we were faced with poison and death. ”

"What a sinister intention!" Goethe snorted through gritted teeth, and asked, "Then how did you discover this passage?"

"Quite simply, we were in this huge catacomb, and there should have been a lack of oxygen, but we didn't have trouble breathing, indicating that every corridor and burial chamber had ventilation channels. ”

Rog tilted his head, avoiding Lilith, who was standing on his shoulder and throwing droplets of water from his feathers everywhere, and continued to say to the High Priest, "Spiders like to build their webs in ventilated places, so that they can catch their prey. ”

"Lilith told me that the biggest cobwebs in the hall were where I found the hole, and that only the strongest spiders could occupy the best places, just like humans, so I climbed up to make sure there was a vent I wanted, and luckily, I found it. Rogge said with a smile as he put his cloak back on his body.

"The Dark Wizard would never have dreamed that we would escape like this!" Goethe nodded with satisfaction, "The protection of the gods is not something that his dark men can plot!"

"Don't be in a hurry to make up your mind," Rogge's face suddenly became solemn, his eyes fell on the door of the tomb not far away, and he whispered in a deep voice, "We haven't returned to the world from hell yet." ”

(A wise man thinks a thousand times, there must be a mistake, William's carefully crafted trap, but it was defeated in the hands of "Spider-Man", but as Lao Luo said, they are not out of danger, Lao Luo seems to have smelled the coming crisis, what did he find? and listen to the next decomposition!)
