Chapter 1564: Nine Stone Statues
The mausoleum was cold and cold, looking into the unknown darkness, as if there was an ominous weirdness peeking in the dark. Wolffang, Little G, Abz, Alligator, Alice, and Cesaniel enter the tomb in turn. Alice watched everywhere, a few permanent lamps were lit in the nearby tomb, and on the high dome overhead, there were many blue gems shining a little brightly. Then Tyson, Jora, and a few other guards followed.
"Why are you here?" because in the tomb, he didn't seem to dare to speak too loudly, even though he had experienced a battle before, but Abz still couldn't help but lower his voice.
Tyson said: "Didn't you say that the area near the entrance of the cave is safe? Let's go down and take a look here, and if there is a situation, we may be able to help you." β
Alice glanced at Jora, but she didn't expect that she usually looked soft and weak, but she also had the courage to follow.
Abz said, "Then don't wander around here, and if there is any danger, go up immediately." β
Tyson said yes.
Suddenly, Cesaniel added: "By the way, do you have a stone pen with you, and we will mark the road wherever we go, so that when we return the same way, we will not accidentally touch the trap." β
Abz took out two stone pens and gestured: "I have been ready for this for a long time, and when I went out just now, I had already left marks along the road." He pointed to the ground: "Oh, there is one in front, do you see it?" β
Everyone looked at the ground, and sure enough, there was a white circle mark on the ground, and then there was another one in front of them. Cesaniel gave a thumbs up and smiled, "I didn't even notice when you did it." β
Tyson brought some stone pens and told them to be thrown down and distributed among everyone.
The people went the way they had come. The hedron's searchlight swept into the darkness around it, and from time to time it shot two fireballs to explore its path. See if there's any danger farther away. Because it is impossible to observe the hidden mechanisms on the ground and in the air, you can only stop doing it. With everyone's superior abilities, you can dodge sudden trap attacks while also being careful to watch out for monsters in the dark.
From time to time, under the stone pillars, next to the figurines, there would be one or two wooden boxes, which, like those Alice had seen in the tomb of Princess Amber, contained useless things. After walking slowly forward for more than an hour, they came to the corner of the wall, which was the same as the tomb of Princess Amber. It is painted with a pattern that also worships the stars in the sky.
Alice looked at it and said, "The arrangement of the first floor here is basically the same except that it is larger than the tomb of Princess Amber. There must have been some small cubicle room nearby, where the clay jars were stacked, and the monster corpses were soaking in the jars. β
"Then find the entrance to the next floor, there won't be much to gain from this floor. Cesaniel glanced at her and asked, "Alice, in which direction should the entrance be according to your memory?"
Alice thought for a moment and pointed, "It should be in that direction, I don't know if the entrance here is the same as the tomb of Princess Amber." β
Abzi's body suddenly flickered slightly. One turned into two, and one of them said, "I'm scouting ahead, be careful yourselves." As he spoke, the two 'Abz' walked in the direction Alice pointed from a distance of about four meters.
This kind of secrecy related to a person's battle is generally not lightly displayed in front of people. But in this situation, every step is dangerous, and Abz also thought about it for a while before finally deciding next time. He didn't say it explicitly, though. Everyone also knows that the one who walks in front is definitely not really him, if he is a person with a heart. If you look closely at such a distance, you can always tell which one is the puppet. Which is the ontology.
Several people present were people with some knowledge, and the alligator exclaimed: "Demon thief, you puppet is really good, you walk smoothly, at first glance I can't tell which one is really you." β
Speaking of this puppet, Abz was quite proud, and said: "My puppet is called 'Demon Spirit Deep Pupil', which is specially tailored for me, and has been almost invincible for me for all these years, and it is my most important treasure. β
Xiao G asked curiously: "Can you control the puppet, are you a mind mage?" But when I saw you fighting before, it seemed like a knight. β
Speaking of this Abz is quite sad, since it has been seen, he doesn't mind sharing his past with everyone. Abz is indeed a real knight, he was in the desert when he was a teenager, because of the limited conditions, he could only find some knight bookboxes from raiding and was self-taught, these factors made his knighthood progress very slow, from intermediate knight to senior knight he took seven years to complete, and after reaching the stage of real knight, his strength has been stuck in the bottle and difficult to improve.
It wasn't until he left the desert later that he realized that he didn't have the talent to learn knightly skills and imitation elemental abilities, but instead had a lot of ability in mental awareness and energy control. It's just that psychic and spatial magic are different from other elemental magics, even if they are not taught by teachers, they can be learned just by buying books, but spiritual magic requires systematic learning and professional teaching.
At that time, Abz was already very old, and spiritual magic was already difficult to learn, and his progress was very slow, even if he worked hard to study for a while, he could only learn the relatively moderate Cheng DΓΉ now. If he wants to learn in the future, unless he has thirty years to live, it will be difficult to make great achievements, so he will give up and do not make more efforts in this area.
While the few people were fighting and moving forward, they chatted a few words from time to time, and slowly listened to his learning past. At this time, several tall stone statues appeared in front of them. The stone statues are all the images of various monsters, and the same as those in the tomb of Princess Amber, one by one squatting on a stone pedestal almost one person high, the stone statues in the tomb of Princess Amber are all broken, and they are still intact here.
Alice felt at that time that if it was an ordinary stone statue, it would not be possible for someone to be damaged for no reason, and there must be some danger hidden. She told everyone about it, and everyone walked around the stone statue, but there was no reaction.
Xiao G said: "Whether there is a reaction or not, these stone statues must be strange, let's be careful not to disturb them." β
Everyone counted them in turn, and there were nine stone statues in total, which were randomly placed in the tomb. There seems to be no pattern or connection between them. Several people walked safely in front of the stone statue and walked through and through, and passed through again. I couldn't see why, so I continued to walk forward. I also turned on the nearby lights.
More than two hours passed, and several people were exhausted from dismantling the mechanism, and they still did not find the entrance to the lower level.
Although the mechanism inside the tomb is dangerous, there are sharp thorns on the flap stone bricks, flying spears stabbed from the floor tiles, polar flame beams that move horizontally and horizontally, flames that erupt from under the floor tiles, and trigger thunder hidden in the air, as well as devices that rise from the floor tiles and spin in all directions to spray poisonous water, and sharp weapons that spray from the walls. But most of these mechanisms are patterned. As long as you grasp the rules, it is not very difficult to dodge. Of course, this kind of is not very difficult, but for people like them.
However, the mechanism here is really cleverly designed, in addition to the fact that it is difficult to spot the mechanism pivot button from the surface, several simple mechanisms that seem to be seen on a daily basis are also very well designed.
Unable to find the entrance downward, Alice wondered, how could this be?
Everyone has figured out the large position of the wheel corridor in the tomb hall. Of course, there are still many places that have not been explored, but they are all too tired to do it, blow a few square bricks clean, sit on the ground and gasp for breath and rest.
Alligator took a sip of green sprout juice. He took out a bag of buckwheat biscuits and scolded while eating: "I cΔo GLONAS, this is the first layer, and it makes us tired like dogs." Isn't it just a wife's tomb? Do you need to wrap it so tightly? It's really like Alice said that there are three or four layers, and it has to be. β
"The tomb was indeed more difficult to conquer than expected," Cesaniel said. The place is big, and the organs are many and powerful. If it weren't for the powerful magic bomb that killed all the corpses in the tomb, the situation would have been even more difficult to deal with. β
After chatting for a while, Tyson came over with Jola and seven guards around him.
Abz said, "How did you get here?"
Tyson said, "We heard you talk again over there, and there was no other movement, so we followed your markings and looked." β
Now it is almost certain that there are no moving 'living creatures' in the first layer of the tomb, only the unfinished mechanism, and it will be fine to follow the marked route, and Abz and they are not too worried.
A few people complained again, and Cesaniel looked at the large tomb hall and said dejectedly: "Is it possible that we have to search every corner to find the entrance to the next floor?"
Abz said: "If it really doesn't work, let's give up for the time being, there are too many risks in this tomb, and someone has already stolen this tomb, and the most important thing in the tomb may have been stolen." β
"No, I can't. Tyson said firmly: "If you want to give up, not only will I not agree, but Shakhan will not agree either." He knew that Abz cared about his friendship with Shakhan, so he moved out of Shakhan and told him not to back down.
That's exactly what Abz struggled with.
Little G's little man stood up no taller than the wolf's fangs sitting, and he said, "Why give up, can you bear to watch so many of your brother's men die in vain? β
Abz sighed and said, "I'm just talking about it casually. β
Wolf Fang didn't speak, and then suddenly said: "The hidden entrance is not necessarily in the unexplored area, I think it has something to do with the nine stone statues." β
Xiao G held his chin, nodded with locked eyebrows: "I also think that when you say this, although we have not searched many places on the first floor, those stone statues are really suspicious and eye-catching." β
Cesaniel agrees: "It is indeed the most suspicious place, and there must be something going on there compared to the tomb of the Amber Princess." β
"What stone statue?" Jorah interjected, inquiring as she looked at the carvings on the pillars near the stone, and heard them talk about the stone statues.
Xiao G pointed and said, "It's over there, we'll take you to see it later." β
In front of the stone statues, everyone carefully studied them, and Jora looked at the stone statue thoughtfully, and Alice saw this and asked, "Have you thought of anything?"
Ruola frowned and said, "This seems to be 'Luqi'." β
When they heard Jora say an inexplicable term, they were curious and asked, "'Chess kloon', what is that?"
Jora didn't answer: "How many statues did you just say?"
"Nine. Just around here, go, I'll show you them all. Xiao G said and took the lead to see a few stone statues nearby. It's just that although there are ever-bright lamps shining nearby, there are not many of them, and the scope of lighting is also limited.
Looking at the nine stone statues one by one, Joraduan stood in place, carefully recalling the memories in his head.
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Wolf Fang and Alice began to look for clues nearby.
The alligator was a little impatient, interrupted Jora's thoughts, and asked, "You just said 'backgammon', what is it, does it have anything to do with the tomb gate mechanism leading to the next level?"
Xiao G wanted to tell him not to quarrel with the beautiful woman to work, but Jora didn't care, and said: "'Keluqi' and a game popular in the royal palace and folk of the ancient Philippani country, pay attention to the two sides of the battle, each with different chess pieces to put on a different battle formation. The formation is formed in three or five, and a minimum of two chess pieces is required, and the maximum is ...... More than a dozen pieces are required, and each different formation has a corresponding different chess piece, which is arranged in the prescribed order. Oops, I can't remember the specific rules and gameplay. β
Alligator interrupted, "It doesn't matter, it's a game of chess, isn't it?"
"Hmm...... Right. Jora nodded a little uncertainly: "I've seen all of this from the materials that Celeste showed me, and I haven't seen what 'Kluqi' looks like, but the patterns and descriptions in the materials are similar to these stone statues." β
Cesaniel said to her, "In other words, the stone statues here have to be placed in the order of 'backgammon' to be effective." Is that so, Jora-san?"
Jora nodded: "I guess, I think so." β
At this moment, the wolf fang suddenly whistled at them and said, "There is a discovery." β
It turned out that Wolf Fang had found a somewhat different stone brick on the ground. In the tomb, all the stone bricks are stacked so tightly that not only is it difficult to insert a piece of paper into the gaps, but even the height of each brick is as smooth as ever. However, this stone brick is different, it is a third of a centimeter taller than the surrounding stone bricks, and it is almost impossible to see if you don't look closely at it on the ground.
And although the color of this stone brick looks the same as the other stone bricks, when the soles of the wolf's boots stepped on it just now, it was found that the sound of the two stone bricks was different, which meant that their textures were not the same. Such an abrupt stone brick is really a clue that attracts attention.
Later, everyone carefully inspected the vicinity, and several different stone bricks were sent out one after another, and it happened that the base of the nine stone statues and the size of each square brick were completely consistent!
