0174 Chapter 4 The End of the Ordinary (Section 45)
Speaking of which, Zhen Cheng and his party were able to avoid everyone's sight during the chaos. It may be puzzling to find this entrance that happened to be blown open. Isn't this great luck?
In fact, how could something like good luck have anything to do with Miss Thirteen? Look at her head, which was hit by falling rocks three times in a row and bleeding profusely; and her head, which was not targeted at all and was simply hit by a stray bullet.
You can see it on the left arm.
Not to mention Fatty Shengbian, whose life or death was uncertain, even the two black trench coats caught in the middle of the hybrid battle were not injured as seriously as Zhen Cheng at this moment.
And in fact, since they left the bunker and started looking for a way to the underground, they couldn't hide it from the eyes of the defenders at all.
It's just that the battle situation was too intense, the battlefield was in chaos, and the Scarry garrison lost the on-the-spot command of the Elder Council and was in chaos.
The huge mecha that fell from the sky with a mysterious identity; the Severant Corps of Cyborgs who were teleported and started killing without explanation; more than ten kilometers away, the Zhen's Undead Corps were ready to go and were sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers;
A large group of angels who once appeared in the metropolis and showed incredible combat power; the candidates of the Lamarck game who were hiding in the dark and waiting for opportunities; the oracle cult who made a desperate move and massacred the city and drove a large number of black eyes to attack;
The Equality Front spies who were first discovered by secret sentries in the forest, but never bothered to clean up; and the most deadly, Anbis, who took over the Presbyterian Church from within...
With all the heroes vying for the throne, internal and external troubles, Zhen Cheng and his team are the most harmless force in the scene. Therefore, as long as they don't commit suicide and get into trouble, no one will take the time to deal with them.
Well, maybe except for the black eyes of the Oracle Order. If they were discovered, those guys would most likely choose to abandon any original target and target Zhen Cheng at all costs.
In fact, not only the defenders noticed the figure of Zhen Cheng and his entourage, but even the giant mecha that was busy swatting flies clearly locked onto Zhen Cheng's position immediately.
But what's interesting is that not only did the guy not just kill a few ants in the ruins with a laser shot, but he also seemed to have intentionally changed the direction of the attack, helping Zhen Cheng and others to provide cover.
Another half hour later.
Due to the paralysis of the command system of the Scarry garrison, the regular armies of various countries have stopped sending additional air support to the battlefield. The castle defense is also in chaos.
The Severnite army, which was aggressively attacking, was fighting one after another as if Scarry had dug out their ancestral graves. The large number of black eyes that suddenly attacked from the rear became the straw that broke the camel's back.
Now the Scarry defenders have retreated to the main building of the castle. With a large number of enemy troops rushing into the castle to engage in close combat, the elite linked list warriors who entangled the huge mechas in the air boldly withdrew half of them and returned to the defense, barely restoring the defeated situation.
But anyone can see that it is only a matter of time before the castle falls. In other words, there is not much time left for Zhen Cheng and his party to explore without interference.
In the ancient passage, three people were walking cautiously.
"Miss Zhen, is it okay if I apply to withdraw now? Let's go back... You see, I have helped a lot along the way, right? After deducting the breach of contract, can you pay me half of the remuneration?"
Navis, who was at the end of the team, asked nervously. If others who didn't know the truth saw her fake and real panic, they might think that she was an innocent woman abducted by two villains.
"If you have the ability to leave by yourself, you can turn around and go back. I guarantee that no one will shoot you in the back."
Zhen Cheng, who was walking in the middle, didn't look back and focused on using his mobile phone to illuminate the ancient stone bricks around him so that the leading figure, Ai Luogensi, could identify potential traps.
Navis really regretted how crazy she was to get on board such a pirate ship leading to the core of the battlefield. But as Zhen Cheng said, her only way to survive now is to follow the two of them all the way to the end.
Facing the too terrifying traps in the ancient passages, you may have a narrow escape, but being involved in a chaotic battle on the ground will definitely lead to death.
Navis, who was the first to discover the sealed entrance to the ancient secret passage, gave up after only half an hour because he was frightened by the danger in this passage.
Navis had a degree in architecture, and his main focus at that time was ancient European castles and tomb structures. Before he became famous, he even participated in field archeology on Mr. Epiron's adventure team.
When she thought about it, based on the architectural style of the passage, she could tell that this was a building from at least a thousand years ago. Even if there were any dangerous traps in it, most of them had already failed.
She can avoid the beacon missiles above her head, browse the ancient ruins comfortably, and is protected by experts. If she really encounters an ancient mechanism that has not yet expired, she also believes that she has the ability to crack it. After all, she was responsible for this in the Epiron team.
Partially working.
Navis had a beautiful idea. But in fact, the first trap they encountered made them fall into a big trap.
The mechanism technology in the underground secret passage of Scarry Castle is indeed an antique from thousands of years ago. But what is outrageous is that what they encountered was not flying arrows, rolling stones, collapsed ground, and poisonous gas steaming with mercury...
Yes, Navis is pretty sure to crack all these gadgets. But the trap they encountered turned out to be a curse!
[Medusa's Gaze], an ancient alchemical trap inherited from Scarry from ancient times. This thing is completely beyond Navis' knowledge of ancient tomb engineering, and even Zhen Cheng only vaguely remembers it in family intelligence.
Just seen it.
As the name suggests, the person who triggers this curse will gradually become stiff all over, and finally lose the ability to move completely within three hours, and turn into a stone statue after three days.
On the contrary, if you have the blood of the Scarry family, you will not be affected by the curse at all. This kind of design that will last for tens of millions of years can only be praised for the foresight and ingenuity of Scarry's ancestors.
It's just that this thing is not the weird thing like [Original Image] that can ignore any rules. Tens of millions of years can't destroy the operation of the curse, but it has almost exhausted the energy to maintain operation.
As a result, Zhen Cheng, who was cursed, only felt a slight numbness at the ends of her fingers and toes ten minutes after being cursed.
According to this trend, she felt that even if she had to spend three months in this ruined ruin, she should be able to save it again.
So compared to the seemingly terrifying curse effect, Zhen Cheng was more concerned about the pursuers on the ground at the moment.
Navis, on the other hand, did not have the optimism to plan in an orderly manner in any desperate situation, so she could only follow behind with confusion. This chapter has been completed!
