Volume 1: The Golden Pocket Watch Chapter 148: The Burial Pit
"Let's go, this area is not safe now, and there should be more than one team like the Assassination Mission, we don't have to worry about the new team, but this kind of team has to be careful, they have a lot of combat experience and skills......" Venason frowned slightly, and said slowly.
"I don't know why, this time I always feel different from the past? A team like the Assassination Mission seems to have mission indicators, and I'd like to ask the teacher when it's over. Karl hesitated slightly, then suddenly spoke.
Hearing Carl's words, Lilith and Ron were stunned, and immediately nodded in agreement, perhaps only the archbishop can know the situation this time.
.........
High in the mountains, in the town of Ottoman, in the underground labyrinth!
The darkness was as thick as ink, filling everyone's surroundings, as if they had become the masters of the earth.
After tracking the exploration team of Ottoman Town, just after the black shadow flashed, the three-person team led by Link walked into a huge burial pit.
With the help of the human skin lantern and the glow of the fireball summoned by Barus, Link saw the almost completely collapsed idols on the surrounding stone walls, and saw layers of broken bones under the pit tens of meters deep.
These broken bones, human vertebrae and skulls, as well as the thigh bones and shoulder blades of unknown creatures, were stuck in stabbing spears, all mottled with rust and filled with the dust of time.
Burial pits?
There is a burial pit in the underground labyrinth, who is this for? Could it be that the essence of this underground labyrinth is the mausoleum of a certain great man at the beginning?
Link carefully looked at the huge burial pit with a gray tone, and the spire-shaped buildings that could be seen around it, which were completely different from the mausoleum architecture of the Ethereal City, including the broken stone statues around it, which were also full of symbolism, making it difficult to imagine what they looked like.
"The whole underground labyrinth is like a huge tomb, it reflects everything in the whole town, how civilized it was in the beginning, how bleak the town is, this tomb buries not only the people who have died, but also a civilization that struggled to survive but had to disappear in disgrace."
This is the "Guardian of Order" Carlos has already walked from behind, and he looks around, especially when he looks around one broken idol after another, his face is a little calm, as if he sees the future of the Ethereal City.
He pondered for a moment and said:
"Are you sure that the shadow disappeared after coming here?"
"Yes, Your Excellency the Commander, we just chased in and disappeared in the blink of an eye." Barrus, wearing red gloves, replied respectfully.
"Well, it seems that in this mausoleum, the departed soul specially guided us here, and it should have something to tell us."
"The team behind followed, and the samples were investigated first." After Carlos instructed several figures who came behind him, he immediately said to Link and the others:
"Go down and check, this burial pit is very likely to hide some kind of secret, find it out."
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander."
The exploration team dispersed, but still maintained sufficient order and a relatively safe distance, and they did not let their guard down on their surroundings so that they could come to immediate assistance in case of danger.
Link gestured to Kakashi and Barrus, and after the three of them secretly confirmed, they jumped off the large burial pit dozens of meters deep one after another.
I don't know how long this pit was destroyed, some of the thorn spears in the ground were rusted into iron slag, they carefully bypassed the dry bones and stabbing spears, and walked for about 3 minutes, and a wide high platform made purely by hand appeared in front of them.
On the high platform, there is a half-collapsed idol building, which is very similar to the statues around the burial pit, but it is not the same, the surrounding statues are all huge wings on their backs, holding various weapons, and the statue of the high platform in the middle of the burial pit is dressed in black robes, with 12 thorn wings on its back, and a total of 32 flame-like stone broadswords of all sizes are suspended around it.
"It's strange, this idol always feels a little familiar......"
As soon as Link flashed this thought, the human-skin lantern that Kakashi was holding in his hand and the fireball summoned above Barruth's head were extinguished at the same time!
At the moment of extinguishment, he seemed to see the stone statue's facial expression change faintly.
"Alert, alert."
Huo Ran saw that the light source went out, and the entire exploration team fell into pure darkness, Carlos immediately reminded.
On the high mountains, there must be no place without a light source, because under the pollution of Ganon, once the light source is lost, then there is a high possibility of unpredictable dangers in this area, and even monsters appear in the face out of thin air, which Carlos does not want to see.
The light source disappeared, not only Carlos's expression was tense, but Link's body also tensed instantly, only to feel that something in the darkness seemed to stretch out an evil tentacle, tentatively touching himself, but his burst of spiritual power really told him that everything around him was normal, and nothing actual appeared.
Boom –
The human skin lantern was lit up again, and Barrus summoned a larger fireball to illuminate it.
"There was some kind of power just now, forcibly blocking the release of my spiritual power, but in an instant, that power disappeared again." Barrus approached Link and said suspiciously.
"I'm here too, the oil in the lantern is the corpse oil of the strange face, and it shouldn't be extinguished."
Kakashi said in surprise as she checked the human skin lantern for damage, but she didn't show much fear, after all, the team members were all nearby, including Link and the regimental leader Carlos, which gave her a great sense of security, otherwise, just now, it was enough to make the nerves reach the brink of collapse.
"Everyone, be careful, this area is even weirder than the previous basement."
Link had just finished speaking, when a weak, frightened voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
It was a woman whispering, "Don't come here...... Don't come here......"
Link froze for a moment, not knowing how to react, he glanced at Kakashi and Barrus beside him, and saw that the two of them did not show unusual expressions.
"Did you hear anything?"
"Nope."
No, could it be that I have a problem again?
Link frowned, afraid of his luck, and at the same time, the master sword in his hand began to tremble slightly, which is the unique perception of the exorcist sword, the perception of evil.
"Link, turn back!"
Carlos, the "Guardian of Order", had the voice behind him, and the moment Link turned around, a glimmering amount of dust appeared in front of his eyes.
The dust exploded one after another, like fireworks, lighting up the surrounding area in circles of brilliant light.
In this light, Link saw Kakashi and Barrus, and the two of them were standing beside Carlos with a worried expression, and the head of the regiment was staring at him gloomily at this moment.
He said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?" ”
"What am I doing?"
Link was inexplicably surprised, and when he looked down, he realized that he had raised the Master's Sword at some point, and the blade was aimed at his heart.
"I, Commander, I just now." Link suddenly came to his senses, and drew his master's sword back in horror, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Tell me, what did you just hear? Or do you see something? After Carlos's voice finished speaking, he pulled out the giant sword behind his back and thrust it into the ground fiercely, and the blade of the sword immediately swung out a rather clear and warm light, these rays of light were like ocean waves, layer upon layer, making the darkness around him retreat silently.
