Chapter 523: The Difference Between the Two Lingzi Tombs(2/2)
As soon as Xu Cheng finished speaking, everyone heard a subtle clicking sound, like the sound of some kind of metal hitting stone.
Xu Cheng threw the flame in his hand forward, forming a long flame and dispelling the darkness in front of him.
The other three people turned around and looked around, using the firelight to see the source of the sound.
This is a skeleton wearing armor, but it is probably not human because it is over three meters tall. It may be some kind of giant humanoid creature.
This skeleton wearing armor and holding a giant axe, with green eyes, noticed Xu Cheng's several living creatures, and immediately rushed toward them at a speed comparable to a high-speed car.
The rotten giant ax was dragged to the ground, emitting a series of sparks and harsh sounds.
With such speed and strength alone, he has already reached the third level of ability user.
Before the skeleton could wait, a sharp shadow flashed past its face as it approached.
The skeleton that was split in half ran forward a few steps before falling to the ground and turning into broken bones.
Devana's heart instantly relaxed, and she secretly laughed at herself for being too nervous. With a strong person like Xu Cheng present, this place was as safe as a kindergarten.
Compared with her, Bai Yuelin and Ringo were much calmer and had no intention of taking action at all.
Everyone continued to move forward, and soon discovered that there were a lot of forks in the tunnel, and you would get lost if you were not careful. Moreover, there were a large number of undead monsters wandering around in the darkness, including not only skeletons, but also zombies, ghosts, and some kind of snot.
A disgusting insect-like monster.
The skeleton is the weakest among them, and the strongest monster is even equivalent to a fourth-level esper.
However, although these monsters are numerous in number, they are no different from Xu Cheng's soldiers. His thunder chaotic energy naturally restrains these dark things.
Along the way, Devana was frightened. There were so many monsters, and even if she gathered a group of people with abilities to explore, she might still be hated on the spot.
At the same time, I was extremely happy to have hugged Xu Cheng's thigh. My only dissatisfaction was that he was too over the top, making him not have any adventure experience at all, but instead seemed like he was just on an outing.
After passing through the network of underground tunnels, darkness blocked the way, making it impossible to see what was inside.
Xu Cheng directly released a huge flame, flying over the hollow to form a fireball, emitting powerful light like the sun, dispelling the surrounding darkness.
A huge underground cavity appeared in the eyes of the four people. It was at least as big as half a football field and had a shape similar to that of a basin, showing a terrain that was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.
Under the light of the fire, you can see a large amount of debris piled underneath the cavity, almost like a mass grave or a battlefield somewhere.
"Look there!"
Divana's excited voice sounded, and the three of them looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a stone door at the bottom of the cave.
The door is almost seven meters high. It looks like stone. The two door leaves are carved with complex reliefs, resembling some kind of snake-like creature.
There are two slightly shorter statues standing on both sides of the door - Xu Cheng, who has already had experience, knows that they are two giant corpses with hand-held weapons and full body armor.
At first glance, the environment here is almost exactly the same as the Reiko Tomb discovered in Japan. The only difference is that the corpse remains at the bottom of the cavity should be inside the Reiko Tomb.
An open space was cleared in front of the stone gate, and several tents were set up. Many rotting corpses were lying around, which should be Yekashenko's expedition team.
According to the records left by Yekashenko in the research materials, they stayed in this place for a long time and conducted various research and inspections. At first, everything was fine. Later, when they tried to open the stone door, they found these debris piled up at the door.
Suddenly he came to life and started killing the expedition team.
Yekashenko, the only one who escaped, was very regretful. If he had not insisted on opening the stone gate, maybe these people would not have died.
This is why he insisted on making these secrets public, because he did not want the sacrifices of the expedition team to be buried.
Everyone came to the stone door. Xu Cheng and Bai Yuelin looked at each other. Sure enough, the stone door was not open, and no spirit wind blew out from it. It was completely different from the spirit tomb in Japan.
Divana looked at the hundreds of words on the stone door excitedly, as if she were seeing the most perfect work of art, and she was deeply attracted in an instant.
A woman like her is full of "tough guy" style from the inside out. Unexpectedly, her hobby is an unpopular major like archeology.
Xu Cheng asked: "How long will it take to decipher these words?"
Devana said without looking back: "Just give me three hours."
She had already seen the photos of the Shimen. The work of deciphering the mysterious words on the Shimen had started a long time ago, but the last part had not yet been deciphered.
This is why Devana dared to assert that the method of opening the door was recorded on the stone door, because she had already understood most of it.
Xu Cheng felt that there was a big difference between the two tombs of Lingzi. The door of the Japanese Lingzi Tomb was engraved with a warning and a curse, but the second Lingzi Tomb had the method of opening the door engraved on the door. It was simply like
It's like welcoming everyone to rob a tomb.
Is it a trap?
Divana stood in front of the stone gate and began to decipher the code. Xu Cheng called Bai Yuelin and Lin Yu, and together they disposed of all the corpses nearby, dug a hole and buried them.
Although these people came together to explore because of Yekashenko's high salary, they are also pioneers in a sense.
Without their sacrifices, this hero's tomb may never see the light of day.
In order to express his gratitude, Xu Cheng did not cremate them, but buried them in peace, although I don't know if they paid attention to this.
Next came the waiting time. Bai Yuelin even participated in Divana's deciphering work. I don't know how she understood it. Only two students, Xu Cheng and Lin Ju, joined the group to keep warm.
Xu Cheng quietly asked Ringo: "When are you going to go back?"
Ringo shook his head: "I don't know, it depends on whether Rin can find all her kin and unlock the seal on her body."
"Then you won't be too bored on the road?"
Ringo is a quiet person and doesn't like to move around, but in the past few months, he has been dragged around by Bai Yuelin.
Ringo knew what Xu Cheng was worried about: "It's not boring. It's good to look around and see the scenery. Besides, Lin is so weak, so I have to protect her."
Xu Cheng touched her head: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Don't touch my head, my hair will be messed up."
Ringo slapped his hand away complainingly.
Bai Yuelin listened to the low-pitched conversation between the two closest people, with a smile on her lips.
Two hours passed in a blink of an eye, and Divana's deciphering work had come to an end, with only a few words left to be discerned.
"Well, why is it snowing?"
Ringo, who was doing nothing, suddenly noticed a snowflake falling next to him.
She raised her head and found that it was snowing in this underground hollow, and there were snowflakes everywhere.
But this is simply impossible. Not to mention that there is no snow in this area. Even if it snows, it cannot fall into this underground cavity hundreds of meters above the ground.
But the snowflakes do exist in front of us and are not an illusion.
Xu Cheng turned back and looked towards the way he came.
"Because we have guests coming, Xue Xue is just saying hello."
