Chapter 169: New Dark Room, Krees. Tedariel
"My lord, we've found another dark room!"
He was so relieved that he didn't care about anything else, and walked in again, and saw the heroes surrounded in a corner.
Seeing Ji Chen coming, he immediately made a way out of the way, revealing a Hessian cave.
"How did you find this hole?"
"My lord, this hole came out of me when I accidentally touched a place on the stone table." Alice pointed to the bottom of the stone table, crouched down, and could see a place under the stone table that was slightly dented.
Ji Chen nodded, it seems that this is most likely another dark grid set up by the Great Lich Krees.
The entrance to the cave was about a little more than a man high, and the width only allowed two people to walk side by side, and there was no lighting inside, and it was pitch black with no fingers visible.
But this extreme darkness did not extinguish the excitement in his heart at all.
A darkroom hides an even more secret darkroom.
That's enough to make people feel more excited.
Ji Chen really couldn't imagine that things like red and orange skill scrolls, alchemy notes, and four-star treasures that could be regarded as precious things outside were just placed in the dark room outside.
So what kind of treasure will be hidden in this more secret dark room?
Just thinking about it makes people look forward to it even more.
"Put aside the new dark room for the time being, and clean this place thoroughly."
"Examine more closely to see if there are any other hidden compartments and traps that haven't been discovered yet!"
The heroes obeyed the order and searched for it again in full swing.
Just as they were searching with enthusiasm, there was a lot of experimental material in the space outside.
Erin and Tomodo were waiting eagerly, seeing Ji Chen and them not returning, the impatient Tomodo turned around in the small cage, sometimes looking at the direction of the passage.
"Tomodo, don't go around anymore, I'm almost dazzled by it." Erin said with some dissatisfaction, "It's been here for so long, what's the matter if you wait a little longer?" ”
"I know, pointed ears...", Tomodo wanted to refute, but found that he was in no mood to continue scolding, scratched his hair impatiently, and said a little anxiously:
"You also know that the perverted lich is so cunning and perverted, maybe he will leave a back hand here, if that human is caused by any accident by the back hand, then we have hope of getting out of trouble... But there is no more! ”
"He's the first human to come here in thousands of years... Creatures, maybe the last ones in thousands of years! ”
Erin was a little silent, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
But soon she perked up, frowned and said, "I don't think you need to worry so much, you should also sense the difference in that human being, right?" ”
Hearing this, a solemn look appeared on Tomo's face, "You mean that strange aura?" ”
"Yes, it's vague and subtle, but I'm sure it has something to do with it." Erin nodded solemnly, "If this is the case, then this human may have been sheltered and favored by some kind of shelter, and it is impossible for him to die so easily. ”
Tomodo thought about it and felt that it made sense, the higher the strength, the more he would gradually come into contact with the things hidden in the dark side of this world, and the more he understood, the more he would be in awe of those things and existence.
If that human being were really a favored person, the potential would be unimaginable.
After thinking about it, Tomodo suddenly reacted, stared at him and asked loudly: "Then you agreed to that human condition's conditions so readily before, did you just take a fancy to his huge potential!?" ”
Hearing this, Erin looked at Tomodo in some surprise, covered her mouth and laughed, "I thought you wouldn't find out until you went out." ”
"Damn! Cunning pointed ears! If I had told me earlier, I wouldn't have bargained like that! Tomodo said angrily.
"So there's a reason why the dwarves are like this~"
...
After searching here for a long time, Ji Chen and the others couldn't find more things after all, and there were too few things that could withstand the passage of thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
Keep your eyes on the dark hole.
This time it was the same, Ji Chen still let a fish-man swimmer enter first to detect whether there was danger.
As for the All-Seeing Crown, as early as when he entered this laboratory, he was turned white by the special energy that permeated here, and it was completely useless.
Ji Chen could only use this kind of human flesh detection to detect danger.
This time, however, to everyone's astonishment, the pathfinder entered and walked out of the hole in just two or three minutes.
"There's a patio in there that leads to the bottomless underground."
Rushing Erba relayed the meaning of the fish-man swimmer.
After Ji Chen pondered for a while, he decided to take a look for himself.
The group held torches and began to enter in an orderly manner.
In the dark passage, even if there is a firelight, it looks very dark, and the firelight imprints the figures of everyone on the wall, and the figures are longing.
This narrow passage is different from the previous one, it extends slightly downward, and after entering the entrance less than 100 meters, you will come to a circular patio with a diameter of 100 meters, and the spiral steps attached to the wall of the well have been submerged from the top into the darkness that cannot be seen clearly.
Looking at the darkness below from the edge of the steps, Ji Chen always felt that wisps of yin wind were blowing up from the bottom, which made people feel creepy.
Coincidentally, several heroes frowned, as if they were facing a great enemy.
"My lord, there must be something unusual down there, be careful." Alice whispered, but in the quiet surroundings, the voice seemed so loud.
Seeing that all the heroes looked dignified, Ji Chen also nodded solemnly.
"Everybody's on alert and ready to flee here."
"Yes!"
The heroes nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Ji Chen distributed the torches and began to walk down the steps towards the bottom of the patio.
The staircase did not have any gauntlets, it was simply a stone pillar inserted into the wall, all hollowed out in the middle, and some of the stone pillars had even been weathered and broken.
Ji Chen's face was about to tense, and every crunch of the stone pillar was challenging his heart.
After walking down a few tens of meters, the bottom is still not visible, as if this is an abyss capable of swallowing them.
The further down he went, the more Ji Chen's heart was beating, but thinking of the good things that might exist, he gritted his teeth and continued to go down.
When they descended more than 90 meters, they finally saw the bottom of the patio by the light of the fire.
At the bottom of the same circular patio stands an altar engraved with strange and mysterious patterns, on which there is an alchemical device, on which also a crystal ball is suspended.
The device, along with the crystal orb, looks exactly like the one in the book-filled darkroom above.
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, their faces full of confusion and confusion.
Why is there a control center here?
Ji Chen was also a little confused at first, but he quickly reacted.
The control center in the dark room of the book is fake!
And the control center here is the real one
Set up two control centers, one true and one false, this is probably the Great Lich Krees. Tedariel's backhand!
Generally speaking, if an outsider wants to lift the seal and cage, there is a high probability that they will find the dark room of the book in "Luck", and when they see the control center there, they will think that it should be real, and they have not thought about the possibility of being fake.
Then, it was in this line of thought that Kreese deliberately set up a fake control center there.
In this way, once an outsider uses that fake control center to trigger some countermeasures, the consequences can be imagined.
It is believed that the means left behind by a great lich are enough to bury all the intruders here.
However, Ji Chen's arrival this time accidentally jumped over this trap.
He didn't rush to use the fake control center at first, but hurriedly searched the book dark room thoroughly, so that he accidentally discovered the secret grid that opened this patio, so he found that the real control center was hidden here.
After figuring it out, Ji Chen had palpitations, should he say that he was lucky, but he hit it by mistake? Or because of greed, I inadvertently avoided a crisis.
After thinking about it again from beginning to end, Ji Chen was definitely more cautious.
"All of them have searched this patio once again!"
"Watch out for any other hidden grids and mechanisms."
At the sound of the order, the army moved again and searched closely.
Two hours later, after searching several times to make sure that no other secret grids and mechanisms were found, Ji Chen relaxed a little and walked up to the altar to the control center.
The crystal orb floats silently above the device, a flash of lightning between them.
This center is the true core of the entire laboratory, controlling all the cages and seals, as well as the opening and closing of the magic circle.
As long as you control this place, you have control of the entire laboratory.
Seeing that there was nothing else in the patio, although Ji Chen was slightly disappointed in his heart, he did not waste time, and tried to use the control center to lift the seal and cage of Erin and Tomodo.
Touching the crystal ball, I saw that the palm of my hand was ten centimeters away from the ball, blocked by an invisible membrane, and the moment it was touched, Ji Chen's consciousness was thrown into it.
It was as if I had entered a star.
Among the stars there are hundreds of particularly conspicuous dots, arranged in a certain queue and position.
Ji Chen knew that these dots represented hundreds of cages and seals in the room outside.
Some of the white dots are already white, and these are not holding "prisoners", some are red, which means that "prisoners" are being held, some are large, some are small, and these are related to the size of the cage.
Among these white dots, look for Erin and Tomodo.
It's also easy to find, Erin and Tomodo's "seniority" here belongs to the shallowest batch, so the dots that represent them are ranked on the outside, and the cage that holds them is not large, so it is also the smallest batch.
Soon, Ji Chen spotted their dots at the edge.
Just as he was thinking about unlocking their seals and cages.
The stars in front of him suddenly froze, as if the computer interface was stuck, and it was impossible to operate.
Dangerous!
A feeling of extreme danger came to him, and Ji Chen felt a chill in his back.
No, quit now!
He tried to withdraw his consciousness from the control center, but found that he could no longer control it, and the whole "person" was stuck along with the stars.
"Boom, after so many years, there is finally prey baited, thousands of years, but I have waited so hard!"
"And a human being who is so well adapted and has such high physical potential! It's not a trap that I've carefully designed. ”
There were bursts of gloomy and treacherous voices in his ears, which made people instantly think of some evil existence.
And this existence, Ji Chen had already thought of it.
It's the Great Lich Krees. Tedariel! The master of the laboratory here!
Krees's shrill voice sounded slowly among the stars.
"Human, you think you're smart enough to see through the trap and avoid the past, but you certainly don't think that the previous trap was just a foreshadowing of this trap."
"The series of 'bait' I sowed before are all to provoke your greed, make you relax your vigilance, and step into my trap step by step."
"At this time, do you feel remorse and unwillingness?"
Ji Chen was very angry in his heart, and he wanted to say a word about his mother's sale.
But the stars paused, and even his consciousness seemed to freeze, and he couldn't even speak.
This Krees is too sinister and sinister, and anyone who has seen such a precious thing before will let their guard down a little, right?
would never have thought that the control center would hide the consciousness of this old six.
After talking to himself for more than ten minutes, as if he had spit out everything he had to say for thousands of years, Krees stopped.
“... But it will all come to an end now, after getting your body, the great Great Lich Krees. Tedariel will make a comeback and once again spread his prestige into the void! ”
"And you should feel extremely honored and lucky to be able to sacrifice your body to Krees!"
Ji Chen's heart had sunk to the bottom.
It turned out that Krees's idea was this, to return to the world with the help of his body.
Since then, through Krees's self-talk and what happened before and after, he has also understood some things.
It turns out that the Great Lich Krees. In the thousands of years that Tedariel has disappeared, it has not left or abandoned this place.
Probably for some reason, the life and body were irreparably damaged, so that they had to hurriedly return here, transfer their consciousness into the trap prepared in advance, and quietly lie dormant in the control center waiting for the 'prey' to take the bait.
Who knows, no living creature has entered here for thousands of years, until Ji Chen became the first "lucky one".
After figuring it out, Ji Chen didn't know what to say.
At this point he was like a lamb to the slaughter, unable to do anything.
"me, let me take a good look at your body, how far it will restore me... Ahhh What is it!!! ”
