Chapter 266: Mysterious Gate
Suddenly, the floor beneath our feet parted, and there was no fulcrum, and Aaron and I fell straight down.
"Oops, it hurts me!"
I fell on all fours and felt very painful in my body.
When I opened my eyes, I found Aaron lying on top of me, our mouths, less than five centimeters apart.
His turquoise pupils looked particularly bright in the faint light, and his long blond hair was so silky to the touch.
"You ...... Get out of me!"
Modi shouted underneath him, obviously the unluckiest one, alive and as a meat pad.
If it weren't for him, I'm afraid my body would have broken my bones.
Aaron and I quickly got up from him and found that the kid was wearing armor and had fallen from it without much damage.
Aaron helped him up.
When we got up, we cleaned the dust off our bodies and began to look around.
It was surrounded by thick walls, above which hung several torches, the flames of a faint dark blue, and a few skulls could be seen from time to time at their feet.
"What the hell was going on, we stepped on the trap?" Aaron's voice.
I shook my head and said, "No, someone deliberately let us down, I just saw someone down here!"
"What happened to the woman who attacked me just now?" Modi asked.
"If I knew, I'd still be here?" I asked rhetorically.
Modi closed his mouth and fell silent for a while.
The upper exit was locked because of the trap, so we decided to go inside and explore.
The deeper you go, the more open you become, and gradually, an underground labyrinth begins to take shape.
It was eerily quiet, and you could only hear your own footsteps.
And there is an echo when we step on it, so we always feel like someone is following us behind us.
"Wait, there's wind!"
Aaron stopped and raised his hand.
I clearly felt a cool breeze blowing, and I vaguely smelled a smell of oil.
"What a sound!" Modi's face changed slightly.
I saw the ground shake, and the pebbles at my feet were beating more and more violently.
"Ahhhh
Modi screamed and pointed to the corridor ahead.
A huge ball of fire, rolling towards us.
There were two passages around, and we either had to back off or slip into the other one.
Aaron took the lead in choosing the latter.
The fireball was so fast that I almost ran over it, dodging in the passage and passing by it.
Unlike before, the passage was very crowded, and the three of them were just too crowded to make it forward.
Aaron and I were next to each other, almost face to face.
I was going to turn back and explore what was going on in the direction the fireball was rolling from.
As a result, the labyrinth began to work, and the road behind it was blocked by a slowly rising stone wall, and we had to follow this crowded and narrow passageway.
"What does it smell like?" I smelled an aroma, similar to shampoo.
Aaron coughed and said, "I got it with great difficulty by applying oil to my hair."
"I think it's sesame oil, it smells so good!"
I rubbed my nose in his hair as I walked.
He turned his head, looked at me, blushed, and said, "What are you doing, it's so strange!"
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and felt like I was facing a beautiful woman, and I kept reminding me that this guy was a man, with chest hair and a beard.
"It's nothing, it just smells good." My voice.
Modi said at this time, "You two should not be good people with Longyang, what are you called...... Key?"
"Shut up!"
Aaron and I both knocked a chestnut at Modi.
Fortunately, this narrow passage is not very long, and it takes a few minutes to walk to an open field.
Turning into the entrance, I found a secret room in front of me, with a faint glow of fire in the open door.
"Shhhhhh Aaron made a silencing motion.
I heard the voice of a stranger coming from inside the secret room.
"Hehehe, this is really a good place, I have long heard that this desert used to be a sea, the territory of the mermaid clan, and there are countless treasures in it, and now it seems that this is indeed the case."
"I've heard that this seems to be the territory of a special merfolk."
"Special, merfolk are still special?"
"Of course, legend has it that Mimuel, the ancestor of the merfolk, was a genderless creature who created the first male merfolk and then used his divine powers to create more.
But all are only males, not females.
In order to continue the offspring of the race more easily, without having to bother to use divine power to create, Mimuel simply turned himself into a female mermaid and reproduced with the people he created.
This is the birth of female mermaids, and they are all too beautiful to say, charming and enchanting, often at sea *** fishermen, while they are not paying attention, drag them into the water and eat them.
I saw the merfolk mark outside, so I decided there should be a merfolk treasure here!"
I peered through the crack in the door and saw two men in black robes, one an archer and the other a magician, with a long staff in their hands.
Beside them, a magic circle slowly rotated, and several corpses lay inside, which were the previous shield hand Akers and his team members.
"Damn, they ...... Kill those two guys from before!" Modi's face was full of anger, and he couldn't help but pull out the iron sword behind him, looking ready to rush in at any moment.
Aaron held his hand and shook his head to signal him not to be impulsive.
We quietly touched in, using the dim light to hide, intending to quietly solve these two people, so that we could continue to explore the secrets here.
Shortly after we entered the chamber, I turned around and saw the door slamming shut.
A man in red, dressed like Spider-Man, hung upside down from the ceiling, looking at us.
"Brothers, the sacrifice is automatically delivered to the door, with them we can open that door and take the treasure inside!"
We were discovered.
The archers and magicians, as well as the man in red, surrounded us, and the atmosphere was tense.
"Hahaha, good luck is coming, we can't stop it, we are worried that there are not enough sacrifices to keep the circle running, so you will send it to the door!"
The magician laughed, very proud, and his eyes glowed coldly.
The archer moved his limbs and kicked a head.
I looked at the head, and saw that it was a newly dead head, and the expression on its face was very frightened, and it was ruddy with blood.
"Ah...... Alimu!"
I was so shocked that I couldn't help but pronounce the name of the owner of this head.
"Hey, this guy is your friend?"
The magician let out a soft sigh, then grinned, "It's a pity that he's dead, and he's a circus juggler, and his team was wiped out by monsters in the desert, and he's the only one left, and I'll take care of him."
Alimu is the one who helped me, when I was dying of starvation in the desert, it was Alimu who rescued us with the circus, gave us food, and took us out of the desert.
Unexpectedly, in two years, he was already dead.
I thought about meeting him one day in the future, and I would thank him in person, but I didn't expect it......
"Bastard!"
I was furious and clenched my fists.
The man in red suddenly said loudly: "Don't talk nonsense with them, kill them quickly, besides, don't be in a hurry to kill that blonde chick first, I want to *** her personally!"
"Hehe, I've had this idea for a long time!"
The archer smiled crookedly and began to shoot arrows with his bow.
Just at Aaron they were ready to do it
, I was one step ahead of everyone and released dark energy.
"Ahh
In a terrible scream, the three of them were swallowed by the black energy, as if they had touched extremely corrosive sulfuric acid, they instantly dissolved, and the skin and flesh fell to the ground and melted, and finally only three skeletons remained.
I retracted my energy and found Aaron and Modi staring at me dumbfounded.
It seems that it took me less than ten seconds to shoot until now.
"You ......," Aaron stopped before giving me a thumbs up.
I regained my steady, looked down at Alimu's head and sighed deeply.
"Is he you, Daddy?" Modi's voice.
I shook my head and said, "I am a lifesaver, and I will repay my kindness, but it's a pity......
Modi patted me on the shoulder and said, "You're amazing, I didn't even react just now, and these guys died!"
With a sinister expression, I joked, "If you dare to mess with me, I'll make you like them in minutes!"
Modi shuddered and hid behind Aaron's back, "You...... You perverted black magician!"
Aaron said bitterly, "Don't joke, he's just a child, it's hard to make him believe it!"
"Hahaha......" I laughed.
I went to the location of the magic circle and found that the light was coming from it.
In front of him was a bronze gate with unfamiliar words engraved on it.
"What's written on this?" Modi asked.
Aaron narrowed his eyes and stepped forward, thinking with some difficulty, "Great...... Sublime Mimuel, primordial power, transcendent yin and yang?"
"You can understand it, amazing!" Modi exclaimed.
Aaron said, "I used to spend a lot in the reading room of O, so I know a little bit about the words!"
"This is the script of the merfolk clan, it looks very old, and some places are rusty, and it is not easy to read.
It seems that the ancestor of the merfolk is called Mimuel."
I said, "One of those three was a dark mage!"
"How did you know for sure?" Aaron asked.
I pointed to the magic circle on the ground and said, "Because this magic circle exudes the aura of dark power, it is obvious that they want to open this door through the dark power!"
"What's behind this door?" Modi asked.
I shook my head and said, "I don't know."
"Then open it and take a look, I just heard from those guys that there is a treasure in it, and it's here for this!" Modi said.
I rolled my eyes, "So you've tricked us into a pit!"
Modi touched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly.
