Chapter 126: A Little Gain
It was so clean, I thought there were bottles and jars, nothing but a coffin."
Ignoring Enzo's grumbling, Colley approached the coffin, touching and searching for hidden lines.
Sure enough, between the slate and the coffin, there was a thin layer of gold inlaid in the gap.
[A lonely graveyard that is coming to an end: When some gods fall, the extraordinary characteristics they occupy will be returned to the laws of the world, causing extraordinary changes in the world. And when some gods fall, the extraordinary origin of their own creation will also dissipate, and the life born from it will wither, losing all extraordinary characteristics and powers. 】
[Hidden Curse: Curse the abominable grave robbers, causing their skin to appear fish-scaled, cracked wounds, and these unhealable wounds will fall off from the outside to the inside, sharing this god-given despair with the dead.] 】
Ke Li pretended to be very knowledgeable, and after groping for a while, he immediately said:
"There is a curse, and the owner of the tomb may be a dragonman who has lost his scales due to a curse, and before he dies, he has a negative feeling of resentment, and he keeps this curse, and prepares to punish the tomb robbers who disturb their peace."
"It's hard to imagine what a dragonman would be like without dragon scales, but the token in Flanders' hand is scales, right? Would you like to consider offering it a scale or something to see if you can let the tomb owner rest in peace, which may anger the tomb owner."
Flanders hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "Scaleless dragonman, this curse does appear in the records, if the tomb owner knows that he will not escape death, there should be scales falling off in this sarcophagus, so I don't think the offering is invalid."
"If we can't break the curse, we'd better just leave."
Colley clapped his hands, "Alright then, you guys stand back a bit, I'm going to start working."
As he spoke, the legendary gem that he secretly operated in Inception was mixed in the wrapping of the Wall of Inspiration, and used this special power to encompass the entire coffin, slamming it against the "wall" of Inception.
The next moment, golden tears fell from the edge of the coffin gap.
Colley tossed a card and manipulated the inspiration to squeeze all the liquid into the card.
So he got a gold-wrapped card, and the gold thread on it also proved it.
[Curse - Dragonscale Twisting: When used on mortals, it is like cutting a mango with a cross knife, and when used on a dragon or dragonman, it breaks and damages their extraordinary immunity, causing them to rapidly age and petrify. 】
"I'll put this thing away, it's no joke to get cut by it."
Colley put a thin sheet of gold on both ends of the card and put it in a blank book.
The sarcophagus was opened, and it did contain the corpses of the Dragonmen.
However, this dried corpse looked very strange, like a person who knew that he was about to die, so he deliberately curled up and hugged himself, so that the shriveled withered limbs became like tumbleweeds, and the self-hugging and entangled together.
[Antique - Dragonman Mummy: Bloodless, scaleless and fleshless dragonman dry corpses, only entangled in a clump, unable to find the end of the limb cycle, if the carrier's mental sanity is too low, it will continue to absorb the other party's reason, and temporarily resurrect in the fog of history as an undead. 】
Colley asked, "Yo, do you want to take the corpse with you?" This tomb owner doesn't look like a normal burial, if the dragons ask, we say that the mummy has escaped from the tomb, and we beat him back to his original state, but because he doesn't know how to bury him, we bring it back and return it to them?"
Enzo and Flanders looked at Colley together, "Can you make up a more fake story?" You can say it!"
Enzo: "Ahem, but this thing does have some research value. If you don't mind, you can let me take it with you, and I'll give it to the Dragons after I study the records."
"Take it, you can share some information with me if it's convenient, I won't tell anyone else." Ke Li was not really interested, he had already figured it out when he touched the golden thread.
Enzo took a leather plate from his backpack and unfolded it into a handy
box, and then put the mummy inside.
This should be some kind of extraordinary ability to compress and store space, although it is not as good as Inception, but it can also play a role in easy carrying.
"There is no sign of struggle, the strength of the box has not decreased, it should be safe."
"We are the good ones who lifted the curse and brought you home, don't be weird, or a fire will burn you."
Ke Li was a little speechless, "Then you at least say it in the language of the dragonmen, right?" Ancient creatures thousands of years ago, who can understand the international lingua franca of your modern world, the communication between us, in the dragon race, sounds like encrypted communication."
Enzo pretended to ignore what was happening, and when the three of them left, the yellow sand near the mausoleum began to crumble.
As the mausoleum continued to sink, the whole area gradually formed a whirlpool of quicksand, and finally it was buried into a slope by the yellow sand.
The scene just vanished, as if it had been specially shown for them to investigate.
However, there was no accident with Ke Li to deal with the curse, and the owner of the box was also in a calm mood, and there was no abnormal incident of the theory of angry corpses after the box was opened.
The lizard didn't feel anything unusual about the three of them, and regained its previous calm and swiftness.
All the way to the first marked point, these guys arrived at the station without any hesitation, diving into the sea of sand and disappearing.
"By now, these ancient cities are almost in ruins, and I don't know if it's the erosion of the sand or the loss of extraordinary properties, or it won't be long before they collapse completely, and we'd better investigate them before the sand buries everything."
After confirming that there was no curse, the six went to the bare stone slab and camped against the half-collapsed walls.
Flanders looked at the moon, took out the gem dice and threw it away, and put it away: "The divination results are not good or bad, I'm afraid there is no prey here that we want, will we get here first today, or will someone have the energy to continue?"
"Of course, if the sudden dawn happens again, and you can't sleep all the time, your state will decline, I suggest that those who are not physically fit enough should rest first, and then have to rotate the vigil for a while."
Enzo: "I'll use the Holy Grail to find water, and I'll soon find the place where it is."
Enzo raised his cup to the moon, staggered and knocked again, poured a drop of water into it, and said:
"I've found the entrance to the water channel, and with the size of the dragonmen, we'll be able to get through it."
"Well, besides, I may have blown some sand into my boots while I was walking, I need to find a place to deal with it, don't come along, I'm fine."
Enzo is still shy about this guy, and a big man is still afraid that others will see his feet and socks? Incomprehensible cans.
Mary: "Then let's investigate the ruins on the surface first, delineate the scope first, then record the exploration efficiency, estimate the number of days to explore, and then decide whether to explore the main area or explore the secondary area."
Colley: "Okay, I'm going to study how to use the stone codex, remember to draw the map, I'll check it later."
As he spoke, Colly tapped on the stone book and began to grope for the patterns on it.
Generally speaking, the information provided by the Golden Thread is reliable and effective.
But for some reason, the weight of this thing reminds him of a smartphone, and the shape and feel are very similar.
It's just that because the dragon's hands are larger, the design size is larger, and it doesn't feel at first glance.
"Did I recycle a scrapped ancient dragon rune phone? The Fog of History expedition has really picked up the rags?"
Colly fiddled with it for a while, then simply probed the inspiration into it and studied it simply and roughly.
