The dirt in the stone chamber continued to fall from the head, and then beat on the ground as the entire hall shook. A flickering light appeared in the dust, gradually illuminating the center of the hall where they were. The one they had discovered before
The joints between the stone platform and the edge of the surrounding ground began to emit a strange green light as the cave vibrated.
When the vibration stabilized, the people present slowly saw the true appearance of the place surrounded by stone pillars. However, after a few people carefully observed it for a long time, the stone platform still maintained its appearance, as if it was not intended to
There have been no other changes.
"Is it over?" After a while, Duan Qing asked with some uncertainty: "Is it over?"
"seems like it......"
"It can't be the teleportation circle, right? Who is that? Go up and give it a try."
"Hey, why don't you go by yourself?"
"I'm the captain! You should be the ones to go first!"
"Maybe it's some kind of summoning circle or something..."
"Yes, yes, what if some strange monster or something suddenly appears?"
"It's okay, we will protect you, go ahead..."
Several people pushed and pushed for a while, and finally Duan Qing slowly approached on his own. According to others, this was compensation for the switch he broke earlier.
"It seems..." After walking to that place and studying it for a long time, Duan Qing finally stood up under the gaze of others: "Nothing happened."
"Ah?" After seeing that there was indeed no danger, the others slowly came closer: "Is it really gone?"
The big man in black armor asked the other people around him with some distress. At the same time, he slapped the black floor of the square platform surrounded by light: "What on earth is this thing? What is it used for? Who can help me?"
Tell me..."
"Is there a malfunction?" The woman in black whispered, "Or have we missed something?"
"What else? We have searched almost all of this hall. Even the broken wooden pole was found after wiping our eyes several times..."
"Didn't we find many strange statues before?" Duan Qing, who circled the black area, finally came back: "Don't you find anything worth noting?"
"Isn't that girl? It's just rubble..." Nan Tieshan stood up impatiently: "Is there a mechanism inside? And it's damaged?"
"If that's the case, this is indeed the worst case scenario." The woman lowered her head and pondered: "But since the phenomenon here does depend on a switch, it shouldn't end like this."
"So there must be something we haven't found yet, or maybe we haven't started it yet."
"I agree, at least... it's much better than malfunctioning." Duan Qing nodded, then looked around at other places: "Unfortunately, the lighting range of the torch is really limited, and this place is too dark.
Otherwise, when there was a sudden change here, there must have been some change somewhere, but we didn’t notice it... Huh?"
His eyes suddenly turned to the hesitant young man from the Norse tribe aside: "Art, do you have anything on your mind?"
"That, that..." the young man hesitated: "Although I have never seen it, but in the descriptions of other tribesmen, when the sacred shadow reacts, some strange things often appear.
The light..."
"According to reports, the light of those 'miracles' is green." He stared closely at the scene around the platform, speaking his words completely with some uncertainty.
Several people looked at the square of light around the platform in unison, and the Snow Spirit Huanbing among them suddenly said: "Get up..."
"Have we seen this green light somewhere before?"
"You want...that cave we walked through before?"
"Yes." An arm under the black cloak raised up and pointed to where they were: "Remember those shiny green stones we found there? Maybe...this thing is different from those
It’s about the stone.”
"Maybe there is a cave connected to this place?" Duan Qing also looked at his feet: "If nothing happens, we may have climbed up along the huge pit, and the top of the huge pit...
..”
"Maybe it's here."
In the light, several people fell into a brief silence, and finally Nan Tieshan made the conclusion: "According to what you mean, this thing... is actually the elevator, right?"
"Maybe it can take us down." Duan Qing pointed to the bottom of the black platform, and then pointed again: "Or up."
"Wait, wait, wait." Looking at the top of the dark hall for a while, the big man in black armor suddenly raised his hand: "Isn't our current location not as high as the previous cave?"
"If my estimate is correct, the current position should be higher." Duan Qing said: "But I don't rule out the possibility of my eldest brother..."
"What does it matter if it's up or down?"
Xue Ling Huan Bing picked up her long sword and started poking around on the ground around it, searching around the platform: "As long as this thing can be activated, the answer will naturally be known."
Nan Tieshan looked at the woman walking further and further with helpless eyes, and then looked at Duan Qing, who had his arms folded across his chest. The latter also shook his head helplessly, saying that there was nothing he could do: "I want to
Not that I knew her situation, but I thought she was more anxious than you, brother."
"I don't care about what's going on between you two." The big man laughed and said, "I just want to know how to start this thing."
"We don't understand magic." Looking at the green light on the ground, Duan Qing also felt a little helpless: "Otherwise, maybe we can see something, although I don't know how they saw it...
....”
"Of course it can be seen through magic." Nan Tieshan waved his hands and explained: "Magic induction, magic detection, or magic resonance... Anyway, I am also a mage from the club.
From what I heard from my mouth, if the mechanisms in the ruins have magical properties, even if they are elements of different phases, they will be more or less responsive..."
"is that so?"
Duan Qing closed his eyes, and then slowly opened them again after a while: "Maybe it's over here..."
"Hey, where are you going?"
"Look elsewhere." Duan Qing raised the torch again and walked further and further: "And I have already checked the area around that platform. If you don't believe it... you can check it again."
"Just like Xue Ling Huan Bing is doing."
"Hey, I really don't understand you two." The big man in black armor shouted twice more. After finding that there was really no response from the other party, he and Art stared at each other helplessly: "Son, I heard you want to take a risk.
Adventurer? Hahaha, although courage is commendable, but listen to me, adventurer is a very dangerous profession..."
"be quiet!"
The woman from before finally walked around this place and walked to the original place with some resentment: "Where is the green mountain on Moshang?"
"He went over there." Nan Tieshan pointed in another direction: "What are you listening to?"
"At your feet." The woman stood quietly for a while, as if she was trying hard to distinguish something: "It's not a cry, it's not a natural sound, is it a mechanism? No, no, it's not... and there are no traces of magic.
......hateful!"
She stamped her feet bitterly: "Why didn't you find this kind of thing when you came here before? Why didn't you notice those stones before?"
"What are you yelling at, baby girl?" Nan Tieshan asked with some confusion: "Before? Stone?"
"I have been to this place once more than you, but at that time we...didn't find those light-emitting stones." Xueling Huanbing explained impatiently: "And there are stones all over the ground!
If I had known better, I should have picked up a piece and studied it..."
"As for that thing, I do have a piece."
The big man in black armor said as he took out a black stone from his waist: "You can study it now."
"You actually picked up a piece?" The woman took it in surprise: "Why is it black? And there is no light?"
"This is not the stone on the ground that we saw in the cave before." Nan Tieshan scratched his head: "But... the one I bought from the pile of rocks at the bottom of the mountain."
"What? That piece?"
"Yeah, I didn't throw it away, hahaha..."
"What's the use of this! This kind of stone looks like a useless ordinary stone. How could it be..."
The woman stopped talking.
"No matter what, it's a stone I bought with money. Even if it's a fake, I'll keep it as a souvenir, so I'm not willing to throw it away, hahahaha... Anyway, if it's really like you think, it's someone else's
If it was picked out from that cave and sold to others, then this stone is at least a stone produced in that cave. If you want to study the stone in that cave, I only have this..."
The big man in black armor was still explaining to the woman. After a long time, he realized that the woman did not listen to him at all, but stared at the stone in his hand: "It... is in the light."
"What?" The big man jumped up: "Where are you?"
Xueling Huanbing glanced at each other, and then led them to a place far away from the light platform: "Look."
In the darkness, the stone glowed faintly green in the arms of the woman's black cloak.
"This..." After a long while, Nan Tieshan said in a trembling voice: "This thing can actually emit light?"
"What does this mean?" the woman asked in a low voice, as if she was asking herself: "This light is obviously different from the green stones below. On the contrary, it is..."
She turned her head and looked in the direction of the platform: "It looks very similar to that black stone."
Several people all set their eyes on the light platform. The next moment, Duan Qing's voice sounded from their side: "Hey! Wherever you are, come here!"
"What happened?"
This time, several people ran faster than usual in the direction of Duan Qing, and saw him standing in front of one of the two rows of stone pillars they had passed when they walked over, using a
He held his chin in his hand and stared there: "Have you noticed..."
"What is the difference between this stone pillar and other stone pillars?"
"It seems to be light too?"
Nan Tieshan and Xue Ling Huan Bing looked at it carefully for a while, and sure enough, the same green light that emitted from the platform not far away appeared around the stone pillar: "Is this thing the other switch?"
"I don't know." Duan Qing spread his hands: "I followed...the light and found this thing, but I don't know how to use it..."
"Perhaps..." Xueling Huanbing looked at the stone still in his hand: "It has something to do with the material used to make this stone pillar."
Duan Qing glanced at the stone in her hand, and then nodded in realization: "Sure enough..."
He walked to the side of the stone pillar and patted the end of the stone pillar hard: "I guess I won't guess wrong this time."
"Drink!"
He held the end of the stone pillar, and then pulled it upwards with force - with Duan Qing's strength, the stone pillar was neatly lifted upward partially. And the green light that had been surrounding the stone pillar followed
This movement slowly disappeared - just like the fading tide, the light faded downwards along the body of the stone pillar, and then... flowed further ahead.
Behind that stone pillar, another stone pillar lit up, then the next one, and the next after that... With some inexplicable effect, more stone pillars were like burning torches.
, the same light emitted in rows. The side-by-side fire spread the green light to more places. After that, the entire hall lit up with this orderly spread, and was illuminated blue and green.
color.
"Wow......"
"It's so beautiful..."
"The sacred shadow, all, all..."
"I knew...ah!"
As Duan Qing shouted, several people followed his gaze and looked back, only to see the black shadow that had slowly risen into the sky.
"Hello--"
They ran back in a hurry, but it seemed that it was too late - several people looked up and watched the black platform rise to a very high height, and then disappeared into the darkness.
"Damn it, why did this thing run away by itself?" The big man in black armor stamped his feet angrily: "Moshang Qingshan! How did you let that thing come down?"
"How do I know! There must be something else controlling that thing..."
boom!
Just when they were about to continue looking for a possible new switch, where the black platform had just left, an airflow mixed with debris and dust suddenly spurted out from the square tunnel, knocking out several people who were still standing.
The people next to him were blown away.
"Hoo, ho, ouch ouch..." Nan Tieshan staggered up from the ground: "What happened this time?"
"Hey, I remember you just now... we were above the entrance of the cave, right?"
Duan Qing's voice suddenly sounded to his right, but when the big man looked over, he realized that he was asking about the woman on the other side of him.
"Well...accurately, that's the conclusion we came to together: maybe the two places are connected."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Duan Qing shook his head and stood up, looking in the direction of the tunnel that had erupted like a crater, rubbing his forehead in pain - countless dust and debris were like boiling water, rising from the
The square hole left by the platform overflowed around it.
"Now...it's really troublesome."
