"Looks like the palace isn't here anymore, let's look for it somewhere else."

Although in Luo Zihang's impression, there was no danger in this black tower, but firstly, it was just in case, and secondly, he had a salted fish attribute attack, and he didn't want to waste his strength to climb the tower, so he suggested it as soon as possible.

However, unfortunately, in the absence of danger, neither Professor Tian nor Monica listened to his advice, and both of them became interested in this black tower that was obviously of special significance.

Luo Zihang persuaded again without giving up, "Aren't we in a hurry to find a water source?" You can wait until you find it and come back and study it slowly. ”

"I'm not in a hurry at this time," Professor Tian retorted without looking back as he walked towards the Black Tower, "And there is a saying that 'sharpening knives do not mistake woodcutters', maybe there will be any clues in the tower?" We can also search from the tower condescendingly, maybe it will be more efficient. ”

Having said that, Luo Zihang couldn't find a better reason to refute, so he could only reluctantly follow them into the Black Tower.

After entering the Black Tower, Luo Zihang gradually remembered what this thing was for, here is something similar to an altar, there are six floors in total, each layer represents a different class or existence of a peerless country, the higher the floor, the higher the status.

The topmost layer is naturally the statue of the Absolute Queen, in addition to her statue, there are two layers of things that represent something special, one is the fifth layer of nothingness, which represents the superpower of the imaginary space of the Absolute Queen, and the other is the fourth layer, where there is a half-human, half-snake monster statue, and there is also a black ball in the shape of an eye on the head, which should be the guardian spirit created by the Absolute Kingdom according to that kind of strange snake.

Luo Zihang casually walked at the back of the line, and Professor Tian in front also deduced clues such as the eye worship of the Elite Kingdom that were not of much help in finding the palace through the statues and murals on each floor.

In fact, this clue is still very important in the original book, because it involves things related to the curse of the ghost cave, but it has no meaning for Luo Zihang and their current situation.

Finally, the group came to the top of the tower and looked down on the whole city, but they could not find a trace of the palace.

Because the entire city is mixed with the yellow sand of the desert, there is no special building to be found.

However, there are other special clues, that is, the outline of the entire Elite City is also the shape of an eye, but this is just another proof of the eye worship of the Elite Kingdom, and it doesn't make much sense.

"It seems that the palace of the Exquisite Kingdom is indeed built on the ground......" Professor Tian smacked his lips and sighed.

Luo Zihang glanced at him, since he had already guessed that it was the underground palace, the so-called climbing the tower to look for clues before was obviously an excuse to explore the Black Tower......

These academic fanatics are really hopeless!

Then the group returned to the surface and continued to search the neighborhood aimlessly.

After some searching, I finally found a building that was higher than the other houses, because it was the same as other buildings, it was covered by yellow sand, and it was really not easy to find if you didn't look closely.

Several people wielded shovels to dig up the yellow sand piled up at the doorway, and then put on gas masks and walked inside.

The stone hall is very grand, there are 2816 giant stone pillars, but the front of the door is blocked by yellow sand, and there is no sand inside.

There is a jade eyeball enshrined on the ground in the deepest part of the hall, and there are naturally formed red silk and blue child holes in the jade, which are clearly layered and can be almost chaotic.

Monica and Professor Tian, and even Ah Cheng all leaned in to study the eyeball with great interest, only Luo Zihang looked up......

According to the records, there will be "snake eggs" that hatch the strange snake above, but the current ceiling is empty.

Luo Zihang silently withdrew his gaze and looked at the people who were still studying the jade eyeballs, but his main attention was still on the top.

"Huh? The groove in the center of the eye looks a little familiar to me. ”

After a while, Ah Cheng suddenly spoke, and then took out a strangely shaped jade pendant from his collar, which just matched the groove in the jade eye.

Then, under the urging of Professor Tian and others, he pressed the jade pendant handed down by his ancestors into the groove.

With a soft sound of "card", the jade pendant was perfectly stuck, and the jade eyeballs, which everyone couldn't move before, rolled to the side like this, and the light below was so bare that it couldn't be seen what mechanism had fixed it on the ground before.

Just when the others were amazed, Luo Zihang looked up again.

This time, the ceiling is no longer empty, and an "eyeball" covered with red silk is slowly emerging from the void.

"Leave that stone alone, come back! There is a case at the top of the head! Luo Zihang reminded loudly.

When the others heard this, they immediately looked up, and also saw the strange "eyeball", Monica, who was holding the jade eyeball, was so frightened that she screamed, and subconsciously threw the jade eyeball in her hand and fell to the ground and shattered into several petals.

Luo Zihang pursed his lips, it seemed that this jade eyeball had not escaped the fate of being broken.

"Oops! You...... You, you, you ......" Professor Tian pointed at Monica, trembling with anger, and even forgot the strange scene above his head.

It was still Senior Brother Zhang who knew the importance and dragged him and the others back to Luo Zihang's side.

"Brother Jie, what is this?" Ah Cheng took out the assault rifle that was given to him earlier and aimed it at the "eyeball" above, "Do you want to shoot?" ”

"Don't wait and see." Luo Zihang stopped his reckless behavior.

Half of this "snake egg" is in that so-called imaginary space at this time, and God knows what will happen after the shot, or wait until it falls off completely.

"Speaking of which, how did this thing come about? I don't think the ceiling is cracking. Ah Cheng stared nervously at the top, and said habitually in fragments: "Could it be that there really is some imaginary space?" Isn't the Absolute Queen dead? ”

"Not necessarily," Monica analyzed, "that imaginary space may not be the ability of the Absolute Queen herself, but she has mastered how to use it. ”

"Whatever the hell is going on, should we get out of here now?" Senior Brother Zhang, who has the worst psychological quality, said with a shudder.

Luo Zihang immediately raised his hands and feet in agreement, but unfortunately Professor Monica and Tian, who are the most capable of making decisions, still disagreed.

"Alas......"

Luo Zihang sighed helplessly again, to be honest, he was already a little impatient with these two diehards who did not listen to persuasion.

At this moment, the "eyeball" above was completely revealed from the imaginary space, and then fell to the ground with a "snap".

Only then did everyone see that this thing was not an eyeball at all, it was a translucent ball of flesh, all blue and white on the outside, and a large black mass of things in the middle.

The next moment, the giant eye-like ball of flesh suddenly cracked open, and hundreds of entangled black strange snakes flowed out of it, these strange snakes were the same as they had seen in Zagrama Mountain before, all of them were black scales, no more than dozens of centimeters long, and a black sarcoma grew on the top of their heads.

Piles of strange snakes wriggled together, their bodies were covered with sticky transparent liquid, as if they had just hatched from the eggs, indescribably disgusting, and everyone saw that their scalps were numb, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back.

And Luo Zihang lit the self-made Molotov cocktail that he had held in his hand a long time ago and threw it into the group of strange snakes.

Because the strange snakes were entangled together, so one incendiary bomb went down, and they were basically all ignited, for the sake of safety, Luo Zihang lost two more past, and now the strange snakes were all engulfed in flames, and before they could attack, they were all burned into a pile of charcoal.

"Are you going to continue?" Luo Zihang asked again.

Monica and Professor Tian nodded firmly, and Senior Brother Zhang also nodded after hesitating for a moment.

"Okay."

Luo Zihang didn't persuade again, but also nodded his head, and secretly made a decision in his heart.

After that, he no longer paddled the water, but took the initiative to use his knowledge of feng shui to unlock the mechanism of the temple for the team and open the way to the underground palace.

The crowd descended the black stone steps, and after a while they came to a long road, on both sides of the road, painted with murals related to the exquisite people, including the black picture of them sacrificing the living people, just like the steps they had taken to summon the black snake.

However, before this, Professor Tian had already deduced from his own experience that there was an altar used for sacrifice above, so this only increased everyone's admiration for Professor Tian.

Passing through this not too long road, everyone encountered the same stone pillar mechanism at the end, but the number and scale were much smaller, and then Luo Zihang took the initiative to make a move, and the brick wall at the end was opened, Luo Zihang walked in first, and the others followed.

Everyone came outside, looked around with a flashlight, although it was an underground building, the surrounding space was grand, although the withered beams and pillars had peeled off, but they could still see the gorgeous atmosphere of the year, and they were really in the underground palace.

They seemed to be in the main hall of the underground palace, because directly in front of them came out, there was a throne made of jade.

The top of the jade seat is engraved with a red jade eye, the whole body of the seat is inlaid with gold and silver, engraved with the fairy mountain clouds, flowers, birds, fish and beasts and other things, the base is a large piece of white jade like goat's milk, in the main hall with black tones, it is particularly eye-catching.

The air in the underground palace is very sufficient, indicating that most of the places are connected to the underground water veins, but it is precisely because of the air circulation that the antiquities in the underground palace are seriously damaged.

Except for this throne, which is still relatively intact due to its material, the rest of the pottery, wood, iron, bronze, silk and other items have been severely eroded by the air.

Professor Tian looked at this dilapidated scene, his face full of distress and pity, but he still quickly took out the archaeological tools and began to collect materials.

And Luo Zihang walked to a weapon rack that had collapsed, picked up a strange-looking arc-shaped sword, and wanted to see if it could be used, but the blade slipped directly from the hilt, and the hilt in his hand shattered into a pile of sawdust with just a slight pinch.

"Tsk!"

Luo Zihang patted the sawdust in his hand and smacked his lips regretfully, it seemed that he didn't have a chance to show off his swordsmanship.

The group looked around again, and found a blown gap in the front hall, which should have been done by tomb robbers a long time ago, and maybe even the owner of the diary in Monica's hand.

Then they went round to the apse, and found a cave near it, from which the sound of gurgling water could be heard.

Everyone who finally found a new water source was very excited, and hurried to the direction where the sound of water came from, Luo Zihang was no exception, after all, recently, their distribution of water was relatively limited, and everyone was already thirsty......

It's just that Luo Zihang always felt as if he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it after thinking about it for a long time, so he didn't pay attention to it anymore.

After all, this kind of thing that he didn't deliberately remember was mostly not dangerous.

Soon, they found a small underground lake in the cave, and a convex ground bulged out of the lake, like a small island in the middle of the lake, only ten square meters in size, and the flat lake was like a mirror, surrounded by it.

After seeing several colorful fish swimming in the lake and confirming that the lake water is non-toxic living water, everyone no longer hesitated, and came to the lake one after another, drinking to their heart's content, Ah Cheng even plunged his head directly into the lake.

Only Luo Zihang was holding the water and was about to put it to his mouth, when he suddenly had a bad feeling, so that he finally failed to drink the lake water in his hand, but this premonition didn't seem like there was any danger, so he hesitated for a moment and didn't stop the others.

Everyone else was busy drinking water, and they didn't notice Luo Zihang's side, they only knew to drink hard.

Luo Zihang looked at their full appearance, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, almost didn't withstand the temptation, no matter what strange premonitions, he also stepped forward to drink.

Fortunately, he remembered that he still carried some water on his body, so he quickly took it out and drank all the water in the kettle, which quenched his thirst.

On the other side, the four Monica drank until their stomachs were full and they couldn't drink anymore, so they refused to stop, and because they drank too much water, they couldn't move now, so they could only rest on the spot.

"Oops...... Finally alive," Ah Cheng sat down on the ground and patted his bulging stomach with a satisfied face, "It's the first time I've found that water can be so delicious." ”

Everyone else nodded approvingly, and Luo Zihang licked his chapped lips while pretending to nod his head......

The small half pot of water before was just to moisten his throat, but it couldn't meet Luo Zihang's drinking needs at all.

After resting for a while, everyone's stomachs finally didn't swell so much, and they all got up to fill their water bottles.

However, at this moment, Monica suddenly pointed to the convex ground in the middle of the lake and shouted in surprise: "Look! ”

On the convex ground in the lake, I don't know when, it has been crawled with a dense layer of cyan mayflies, they did not spin silk to make cocoons, but directly turned gray-white, and then directly molted out, turning into a shiny flying insect.

Ah Cheng, who had insect PTSD, was suddenly nervous, and the others were not much better, after all, they had heard about Luo Zihang's previous experience, and had encountered terrifying marching ants.

It's just that they haven't taken action, countless big rats have rushed into the cave from all directions, these rats are not afraid of humans at all, they turn a blind eye to Luo Zihang and others, jump into the lake without hesitation, go away in the water, compete to climb the convex ground in the middle of the lake, greedily grab the insects that have just withdrawn from the shell, and keep sending them into the mouth to eat.

Obviously, this is not the first time that these rats have come here to "have dinner".

"Boom——!"

Monica couldn't help it at first, bent over, held her knees, and threw up.

The sound of her vomiting was like flipping a switch, followed by several other people who also vomited.

The corners of Luo Zihang's mouth twitched wildly......

Isn't it rude for me to laugh out loud at this time?
