Jiang Feng pushed forward with all his strength, and with the creaking sound coming from the door shafts, the two doors slowly opened inward, revealing a deep and dim corridor in front of everyone.
Goofy's remote-controlled "floating ball" flew into the corridor, and the accumulated dust was disturbed by the airflow, soared into the air, and rolled around the ball of light, like a looming phantom. The eerie atmosphere made people feel hairy.
"Maybe it's my misunderstanding..."
Sister Eve stood at the gate, her brows furrowed and her face solemn.
"This corridor seems to have gathered particularly strong negative energy. In such an environment, it is easy for undead creatures to breed."
After a slight pause, she added.
"There is another possibility. There are undead lurking at the end of the corridor, so it emits cold and dark negative energy."
"Undead? Very good. I like to fight the undead the most."
Jiang Feng geared up and raised the corners of his lips.
This is really not bragging, Yang Yanzong’s martial arts skills can defeat undead creatures. In fact, this monk school was created from the beginning to deal with undead creatures.
"Be careful anyway."
Gao Fei gave instructions and led the team to follow Jiang Feng into the dark corridor leading to the first floor of the Dragon Bone Tower.
The floor of the corridor is smooth and flat, with a slight downward slope, giving people the feeling of going down stairs.
Large murals are carved on the stone walls on both sides of the corridor, as well as on the three-meter-high ceiling overhead.
Due to age, moisture erosion, and improper storage, the mural has faded, but based on the remaining lines and composition, it is not difficult to see that the mural depicts a scene of a knight fighting a dragon.
The straight corridor is about 40 meters long. When we walked to the center, everyone felt a cold air blowing above their heads.
Gao Fei stopped and used the remote control "Floating Ball" to fly up to where the wind was blowing. He discovered that a large circular hole was cut in the ceiling above his head, with a diameter of nearly 3 meters.
"It looks like a ventilated skylight, but it's a bit too big for a skylight."
Gao Fei looked up at the dome and fell into thought.
Eve and Jiang Feng also came over and watched eagerly.
"It's more like a chimney than a skylight," Eve guessed.
"I don't understand architecture. Based on common sense, if you climb up this big hole, can you bypass the stairs and climb directly to the upper floors of the tower?" Jiang Feng suggested another possibility.
"If this is the case, this is a shortcut that allows us to avoid many traps and reach the top directly."
Gao Fei thought for a while and then said: "But we cannot rule out another possibility: the dome itself is a trap, disguised as a shortcut, luring explorers to climb up and die."
"I can use the 'Flying Eaves Step' to climb the wall. How about I go up and investigate first?" Jiang Feng looked eager to try.
"It's better not to be impulsive." Girl Eve has a conservative personality. "We should continue to explore deeper into the corridor. If we encounter obstacles that are difficult to solve and cannot go on, it is not too late to come back and try this passage."
Gao Fei discussed it with Jiang Feng through private chat, and finally reached a consensus to accept Eve's point of view and take the right path first. If the right path doesn't work, then come back and find another way.
Soon we came to the end of the corridor, and there was another closed bronze door blocking the way.
"I can now confirm that the high concentration of negative energy seeped out from the crack in this door!" Eve said sternly.
Druids are "sons of nature" and "daughters of the earth" and have a strong affinity with nature. On the contrary, they are particularly sensitive to and extremely repulsive to the negative energy that breeds undead and is in sharp opposition to nature and the origin of life.
Jiang Feng was about to pick the lock. After hearing what she said, he decided not to open the door in a hurry and let Gao Fei spend 1 ray of astrolabe energy to detect whether there were really undead creatures behind the door.
Gao Fei switches to God's perspective, extracts the energy of the astrolabe, and dispels the dark fog behind the door.
What came into view was a wide hall. In the center of the hall, there was an indoor flower bed-like facility. The dry soil in the garden had cracked countless gaps, and no grass had grown there for a long time.
A bronze statue of a giant dragon was erected in the center of the flower bed, with its head lowered and wings spread, as if it was about to take off.
Behind the flower bed, there was a dull and rhythmic tapping sound.
Gao Fei moved his perspective and looked towards where the sound came from.
I was surprised to find a dragon-shaped skeleton with all its bones exposed, pacing back and forth in the dark hall!
The knocking sound just heard was the footsteps of the Bone Dragon.
This bone dragon is about three meters tall, with pale soul fire shining in its sunken eye sockets.
Gao Fei quickly switched his perspective and told his companions about the situation he had just detected in the hall.
"Is there a bone dragon patrolling the hall?" Jiang Nuxia became more energetic, "How powerful is this guy?"
"Judging from the monster illustration provided by Astrolabe, the challenge level of the Bone Dragon is level 7. If we enter the hall to fight it, it will inevitably take a lot of effort to win."
"Listening to what you said, is there a way to win by trickery?"
Jiang Nuxia knew her partner well now, and when she saw Gao Fei's eyes rolling around, she knew that this guy must have a bad idea.
"The bone dragon is very large and can barely go in and out of the corridor, but its sides are close to the wall and there is almost no room to move and dodge." Gao Fei said with a smirk on his face, "If I use taunts to lure it into the corridor,
, you and Eve take the opportunity to release the 'Scorching Glory' and 'Acid Ray', and this guy can only stand there stupidly and get beaten, unable to escape at all!"
This wave is called "The Big Body and the Weak Gate".
"Your idea is really bad, but I like it! Anyway, break the door first!"
To pick the door lock, you need to pass a DC12 "Sleight of Hand" test, which is not very difficult. With the cooperation of thieves' tools, the test will have an advantage.
However, Jiang Feng stopped halfway through picking the lock and took two cautious steps back with a strange look on his face.
"What's wrong? Is the door lock locked?" Gao Fei asked in a low voice.
Jiang Feng nodded.
"What exactly is the trap?"
"It's a chain mechanism. I still need to confirm one thing."
Jiang Feng turned around and went back. He didn't stop until he was in the middle of the corridor. He stood under the big hole in the ceiling and looked up.
Gao Fei followed and was about to ask her what happened when Jiang Feng had already used the "Flying Eaves Step" to climb up the smooth stone wall like a spider and crawled into the dome above.
"Sure enough, as I guessed, there is a tunnel parallel to the ground inside the dome."
Her voice came from the entrance of the cave, echoing in the closed space.
Jiang Feng crawled sideways and nimbly got into the dome tunnel. After two minutes, he returned the same way and jumped down.
"It's completely clear now." Facing the confused looks of Gao Fei and Eve, Jiang Feng replied with a smile: "The big hole above our heads is not a shortcut, but a trap linked to the door at the end of the corridor - a very
An insidious trap!"
