Body 153 Blue skull

The faint blue light in front of him meant that the direction led by Wu Changkong was correct. There are no more forks in the labyrinth passage that is about a kilometer long, and the skeleton walls on both sides are like countless skeleton soldiers standing in formation, giving people much more oppression than before.

The three of them didn't calculate how long they walked, and Wu Changkong said that once the time was calculated, it would be affected. It didn't take long, but it felt like a long time.

Although I didn't count the time and tried to eat as many times as possible, I guessed that there would be a day and a night. Anyway, I slept halfway through.

What's going to be behind the exit?

That's right, in the center of the square with a side length of more than a kilometer is a stepped altar, in fact, the whole square is an altar, but you can only understand it when you look at it from the air.

The square is divided into nine steps, each of which is estimated to be about 100 meters less than the side below, and the platform at the top is 100 meters wide. The height of the staircase is half a meter high.

Starting from the plaza, there are ten pedestal columns on the sides of each floor, with a skull emitting a blue light on the pillars. The faint blue light is not dazzling, but it makes people feel far away.

The three of them looked around and found no one else. The surroundings were quiet, and I didn't know where the people who came in first were, or if they were still in the maze.

When I walked to the nearest pillar, I found that the one-person-high pillar was full of ancient texts and magic arrays. Looking at the ground beneath your feet, it seems to be covered with a layer of blue light. The blue light reflects the magic circles and spells carved into the ground.

Engraved full. The entire ground is full of magic arrays and spells, and if you don't look closely, you think it's a decorative pattern.

Big deals, Wenette and Wallaire lamented.

Wu Changkong looked at the blue skull in a trance, and others didn't know what he was thinking. Then, Wenette and Volaire saw Wu Changkong, who was in deep thought, suddenly reach out and touch the blue skull.

The two of them didn't dare to scream, for fear that something would happen.

"A cold feeling. Wu Changkong said, and then resolutely picked up the blue skull.

It was easy to pick it up, as Wenette and Wallaire could see. I thought it wouldn't be picked up or something would happen, but it didn't, nothing happened.

"Well, it's alright?" said Volaire softly.

Wennette looked around cooperatively: "I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything." ”

The blue skull was tossed in Wu Chang's empty hand, and he looked at the skull rolling in the air and asked, "Do you want to touch it?"

The two of them shook their heads, and then they couldn't help but stretch out their hands.

"Is it a real skull?" asked Wallaire.

"It should be true. Wu Changkong replied.

"It's so cool. Wenette said what she felt, and a burst of coldness seeped into her body through her skin, and she couldn't help but shiver.

"It's really cold. Voraire shuddered, too.

"Borrow your magic robes, and they'll rot anyway. Wu Changkong said and motioned to the two of them.

The two of them inexplicably untied their magic robes and handed them to Wu Changkong. After seeing Wu Changkong take the magic robe, he used his big sword to cut it into a long rope. Cut from one side to the other, then not cut. Then start from one end and go to the other side, and finally it will not be cut. Eventually, a magic robe was cut into a long rope.

What is this for? I saw the answer right away. I saw Wu Changkong put the rope through the skull and lifted it. Then he turned and walked towards another pillar.

Wouldn't it? Do you want to put all the skulls up?

It turned out that the two of them were right, and Wu Changkong led them along the first floor and returned to their original place. The two followed, looking at the string of skulls that glowed blue as they dragged on the ground.

In the meantime, Volaire asks the old monster why he took the skull, isn't he afraid of causing unnecessary changes?

As a result, Wu Changkong's answer left him speechless.

Isn't the reward for the quest just these blue skulls?

As for the changes that may be triggered, how do you know what will happen if you don't try it? Since you have to try it sooner or later, what is the difference between trying it early and taking it late? The difference is that one is to take it from the bottom up, and the other is to take it from the top down. But if there is a need for these skulls in the upper part of the area, wouldn't it be an extra trip if you don't take them now?

Besides, if you don't take a look around, you really can't rest assured.

I walked four kilometers. Not to mention whether you are tired or not, just looking at the skulls bouncing all the way on the ground is indescribably weird. Sometimes the two almost thought the skull was jumping, and looked back at the two of them laughing. Sometimes you can even hear the skull shouting for help, or pain, pain, pain, slow, slow.

Occasionally, when the two look at each other, they will find doubts in the eyes of both parties, and these questions prove that they are not hallucinations of one person. Or it's not an illusion at all, the two of them can't help but think like this in their hearts.

This level is forty skulls, is the rope enough?

The rope is from the hole in the eye from the past, and a skull occupies 0.2 meters. 360 skulls are 72 meters, and a magic robe needs to be cut out of 36 meters. The magic robe is 1.5 meters long, which means that a magic robe must be cut out of at least 24 pieces. If each rope is 0.02 meters long, it only needs to be 0.48 meters wide. That's more than enough for a 1.5-meter-wide magic robe.

Walaire did the math. It's hard to imagine how you can really cut such a long cloth rope?

But how does this look a little familiar? Wallaire thought when he heard a voice whispering in his ear.

"Why do you think the teacher always likes to drag strings on the ground? Last time, he dragged a bunch of weapons. ”

Wennet's words let Wallaire know why there was a precedent for déjà vu.

"Why else would you call it an old monster?" said Wallaire, remembering that the children of poor families had no toys to play with, so they liked to drag things around the streets.

"Nobody, it's fine. After Wu Changkong finished speaking, he looked around again, and after confirmation, he walked towards the inner floor.

At a distance of a hundred meters, the sound of the skull dragging and bouncing on the ground also sounded again. Like a strange drum beat, but not a clanging sound, it echoed around the empty surroundings. The uninformed will surely be frightened when they hear it.

But those who don't know it may find it amusing or beautiful to see from afar forty balls with a blue glow dragging in a string on the ground, constantly bouncing and dancing.

Yes, from afar, who would have thought that these were actually skulls?

Walking down this circle, except for Wu Changkong, the two of them were tired and thirsty, but they could only drink some water to moisten their throats.

"Take a break. Wu Changkong took care of the physical strength of the two of them, and observed the altar on the last floor in the center by himself.

There doesn't look anything special on the altar, except for the remaining blue skulls and four crosses standing in four directions in the morning.

After a good rest, Wennette and Wallaire walked to the final level with trepidation. For mysterious and strange things, everyone has the most primitive fear in their hearts.

Although Wu Changkong is powerful, this is the existence of a strange place for tens of thousands of years. Just talking about this labyrinth and altar, how many people can do such a big deal. And it's underground, and there are so many dead skeletons.

Those skeletons always feel like they're not dead. How can you become a skeleton if you don't die, but for a necromancer, a skeleton is a living thing, a soldier who obeys the command.

If all these skeletons were to become skeleton soldiers, how many troops would there be?

What is the purpose of the mission? Just for this blue skull? I haven't seen any reaction to getting the Blue Skull now, and the quest doesn't say how many Blue Skulls are needed. Those who saw the quest must have thought that there was only one blue skull, and no one had ever seen a blue skull, and they didn't know what it was for.

Unless the task itself is a trap.

There was once a labyrinth trap. It is said that a large labyrinth was found somewhere, and a fog was always shrouded above that labyrinth. The mission release is a kind of magical beast in the labyrinth, and almost no one in the adventure group and mercenary group who entered the maze can come out.

Later, because a candidate who might be the heir of a large family disappeared inside, a great sword mentor of a big family went in to find out the truth.

It turned out to be a wizard who discovered the labyrinth and then issued a quest to get people into the labyrinth. The sorcerer hunts the people who enter the labyrinth, and uses them and their blood to perform some kind of secret sorcery and sorcery. Because the wizard had already laid many traps in the labyrinth, no one was able to escape.

In the center, there was a circle-based magic circle on the ground. Four magic threads stretched out and connected to four crosses, on which not only spell magic arrays, but also handcuffs and leg cuffs.

"No magic books?" Wu Changkong looked around, but didn't find any mechanism.

"There's an explanation for that. Vannette spun around and found an ancient inscription carved into the ground in a corner.

"It's strange, why haven't you seen too much dust? It is said that such a long history should be covered with a thick layer of dust. Wallaire questioned.

Wennette didn't care so much, the instructions were written in four corners, and Wennette read them all before telling Wu Changkong and Volaire.

The above says that if four people are handcuffed to the cross and voluntarily give their blood and soul to the dead, then the spirit will bestow great power on the designated person.

At the time of the sacrifice, all four of them were to recite the designated incantation.

"No, without treasure, this mission doesn't make sense?" said Wallaire first.

"Could it be that because there is no treasure, the person who issued the task would dare to release such a task?" Wennette considered the possibility.

"Will the people who issue the quest actually care most about this sacrifice? Want to be powerful? But although not many people know about these ancient texts, there are still people who know them?" said Volaire.

"It's also possible. This kind of writing is very biased, and few people know it. I also choose this kind of study occasionally, and it just so happens that I am in a hurry. However, if it is a mercenary group, you may not know it, but if it is an adventure group, there should still be people you know, after all, they eat this bowl of rice. Wennette knew that these words were not too biased, otherwise they would not be included in the language subjects of the magic school.

"I'm thinking about the blue skulls, if they're related to sacrifice. If so, then who would be able to launch the ceremony if I took them away? Or if so, I shouldn't have taken them so easily. If it doesn't matter, is it just decoration, or lighting?" said Wu Changkong, shaking the string of blue skulls in his hand.

There was a chord, and a series of sounds rang out. It was the sound of skulls colliding with each other and hitting the ground.
