Inside the underground passage, although it is relatively dark, it becomes wider and wider as you go.
From darkness at the beginning to barely being able to see the environment clearly, the old demon and the half-awake Sunshine gradually adapted to the darkness, but they were still cautious, because no one knew whether there would be anything in the underground passage of such a ruins.
There will be some traps and the like.
However, after going a certain distance, Lao Yao and the others found that they didn't seem to have to worry about this problem... because on the route ahead, a straight corridor appeared in front of them, and there were actually a large number of arrows scattered in this corridor.
These arrows seemed to be shot from both sides of the wall, hitting each other on the opposite wall, and then scattered along the walls on both sides.
"Could it be that the old hunter's daughter did it?" The old demon thought about it for a moment and said to the half-awake Yang Guang, "But that's fine. If we keep chasing, we should be able to find her!"
The half-awake Yang Yang nodded, and had to admire the old demon. When he couldn't find the mission target in the ruins above the ruins, he still thought that it would be near the ruins, but Brother Yao said
, there may be an underground passage, but I didn’t expect that I actually found it. Is this considered to be a prediction of something unexpected?
What he didn't know was that this was actually because the old demon had encountered such an underground map before, so he guessed this... As he continued to walk forward, there were more and more traps on the road, but they all seemed to be blocked.
People have cracked it!
The sharp wooden stakes erected and the rows of sharp axes hanging from the ceiling all indicate that before the arrival of the old demon and the others, someone passed through this corridor and triggered and eliminated these traps one by one.
, because the old demon and the others have not seen any corpses so far, so at least it proves that the person walking in front of the old demon and the others is still alive.
The corridor slowly reached the end, and what finally appeared in front of the old demon and the others was a huge stone door. There seemed to be something carved on the stone door, but due to the dim light, the two of them could not see clearly, so they could only step forward and try to touch it.
.
System: "Do you want to enter the underground hall?"
The prompt sound came, which shocked the old demon and the half-awake Yang Yang. Is there no mechanism on this door? Can you go in directly?
After thinking for a while, the old demon directly chose to confirm.
Squeak~~!
A harsh sound suddenly spread throughout the corridor, and the stone door suddenly opened slowly. And as the door opened, a ray of light slowly appeared, making the two people who were accustomed to the darkness couldn't help but squint.
Opened eyes.
And it was at this time that the old demon followed the light and saw clearly the carvings on the door... The door was opened, but in fact the light inside was still dim. What appeared in front of the old demon and the others was a huge room.
, on the walls inside the room, there are several strange magic lamps, which are made of a kind of crystal inlaid on the top of the torch. Those crystals still exude a faint light, which the old demon and the others saw when they opened the door.
The light is emitted by these crystals, but although it is a bit bright, it is actually only slightly brighter than in the corridor outside.
"You entered the underground shelter!"
The system beeped again... The two of them carefully walked into this huge room. The room was empty except for a stone pillar desk at the front, which seemed to have a fallen book on it.
Dusty parchment book.
Out of curiosity, Yang Yang, who was half awake, wanted to step forward and pick up the book to read. At this time, the old demon was looking at the surrounding environment. When he saw his movements, he quickly said: "Be careful!
Don't……"
Before he finished speaking, a crack suddenly opened at the feet of the half-awake Sunshine, and he fell in!
In a trap!
The old demon rushed over, lay on the edge of the trap and looked down, and found that the half-awake Sunshine had really fallen. Although the light was dim and it was difficult to see clearly, it could still be seen that he seemed to be trapped.
In a square deep pit.
Although there was nothing wrong with Yang Guang, who was half awake, he was very upset when he encountered such a thing. This was entirely caused by his impulsiveness.
"Are you okay?" The old demon asked him from above: "Let's see if there is any way to get up!"
After half-awake Yang Yang said it was okay, he groped along the four walls of the pit, only to find that the surrounding walls were extremely smooth. Even though the system gave the player a certain amount of jumping and climbing abilities, it was still not enough for him to do so.
climb out!
Just as the half-awake Sunshine continued to grope unwillingly, a voice suddenly came from the darkness: "Don't waste your efforts, it's useless."
The two of them were startled, and then they discovered that there was a figure squatting there in the corner of the pit.
"Who are you?" The old demon's heart moved and he quickly asked.
"I am Meili Bwenster, from Elbabu Village. Who are you?" the voice replied. At this time, the old demon and the half-awake Yang Yang also heard clearly that it was a woman's voice.
Moreover, from her last name, the old demon also understood that he had found his mission goal.
However, it seems that it is very difficult to get the two of them out... So the old demon replied: "We are adventurers, and your father entrusted us to find you!"
"Really!" Meili smiled bitterly and said, "But it seems that you can't protect yourself either..."
"There should be a way to get out, right?" Sunshine, who was half awake, said.
"I don't know!" Meili shook her head and said, "I've searched all over the deep pit, and there's no way out. But there might be some way out. Fortunately, only one of you two fell down, otherwise
if……"
Yang Guang, who was half awake, was embarrassed by what he said. He raised his head and said to the old demon: "Brother Yao, look for it in the hall!"
The old demon nodded and said, "Please wait a moment."
Then, the old demon began to search around to see if there was any mechanism or the like. After finally looking around, the old demon turned his attention to the parchment book on the stone pillar platform.
After turning around for a while, the old demon came to the stone pillar and reached out to touch the book.
System: "You have obtained the diary of High Priest Annali."
This is a book bound by sheepskin, covered with thick dust. In the game, there is no such thing as paper. It is usually a sheepskin scroll, and this book is no exception. When the old demon picked up this book
At the back of the book, I also saw its attributes.
[Diary of High Priest Annali: The effect is unknown.]
Then the system sent a prompt: "Do you want to check it?"
The old demon clicked to confirm, and the book was slowly opened... First page: This is the first day of entering the underground shelter. The temple above has been destroyed, and the monsters are raging above us.
, but we can only choose to live in humiliation, losing the sacred objects given to us by the goddess of nature, and we have lost the power to fight back... Page 2: I thought we could stay here until the monsters leave, but
I don’t know why, but some of them actually stayed. The priest Sharna who went out to explore the road disappeared into the corridor. We don’t know how many there are, but we know that they have already arrived... The third
Page: One clan member after another has disappeared, but we have nothing to do. The traps we set have never been triggered. I don’t know why, and I don’t know how long we can hold on... Page 4:
I saw it, that ugly demon! It was a ghost. It shuttled through the walls and took away and killed my people one by one while we were sleeping. Now we no longer dare to sleep.
I really can't hold on anymore, so I have to rest when someone is keeping watch, but now there are only three of us here... Page 5: My power cannot cause harm to it, it can only temporarily seal it,
In order to seal it, we lost the last man's hand, and I myself was seriously injured. Maybe one day, maybe a few hours, I will return to the embrace of the goddess of nature, but I will record it all.
, if anyone sees it later, please convey everything here, find my tribe, and tell them to let them find the sacred objects of the tribe... Of course, this is on the premise that they can go out, because...
...It's still in this underground shelter. We can't get out. Likewise...it can't get out either... The content of the diary is very short, but after reading it, the old demon also understood what happened, and suddenly felt a wave of pain.
Creepy.
Is there some kind of monster in this damn place!?
Thinking of this, the old demon didn't dare to delay any longer. After putting the diary in his backpack, he turned his attention to the stone pillar desk... As expected, as the old demon guessed, there was indeed a strange place on the desk.
, its entire surface is not flat, but carved with some patterns. With his sight, the old demon can find that these patterns are slightly protruding and seem to be able to be pressed down.
When he got closer and observed carefully, the old demon finally saw clearly that it was composed of nine small grids. On each small grid, some fonts were engraved. This is a relatively beautiful font, just like
The artistic words are ordinary, no wonder the old demon thought they were patterns when he first saw them.
However, Lao Yao did not recognize these fonts, but after careful observation, three of the words in the nine small grids have the same shape. In other words, in fact, the text written on these small grids is only
There are three meanings, and there are three of each meaning, mixed together and distributed on the entire plane.
The old demon scratched his head a little. Judging from the shape of the ruins outside, it seemed to be a building of the elves. In other words, these words were probably written by the elves. The problem was that knowing what language it was in did not mean that the old demon
The demon understands this language... This is most likely a mechanism to break the trap, which can allow the half-awake Sunshine and NPC Meili to come up, but the question is how to break this mechanism?
Suddenly, a pattern appeared in the old demon's mind, which he had seen on the gate with the faint light before, so he understood what was going on in an instant!
Quickly rushing to the edge of the deep pit again, the old demon shouted downwards: "Meili! How do you write the three words of sun, moon and star in your elves?"
Meili below was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Why do you ask this?"
"Don't worry so much, just tell me!" the old demon shouted: "This is the way to save you!"
It turned out that the pattern the old demon saw on the gate was actually the pattern of the sun, moon, and stars. These three patterns were distributed in a triangular pattern. The sun had an arrow pointing to the moon, and the moon had an arrow pointing to the stars.
, the star has another arrow pointing to the sun, thus forming a cycle.
The old demon just guessed that maybe the three meanings represented by the Chinese characters in the nine grids refer to the sun, moon and stars. In this case, just follow the order shown on the pattern on the door and read the characters in the nine grids in order.
Pressing it may be the mechanism to unlock the trap.
Of course, such an idea was just the old demon's sudden idea, and he couldn't guarantee whether it was really the case, so he came to ask Meili for confirmation, because she was the only elf here, and she was also a system NPC.
She will definitely know how to write the elven language.
After understanding what the old demon meant, Meili did not dare to neglect. She stood up, walked to a place where the old demon could see her clearly, and began to gesture to the old demon.
"The initial letters of these three words are all different, so I might as well tell you the initial letters alone!" Meili started to make gestures with her hands as she spoke: "This is the initial letter of the sun, and this is the initial letter of the moon.
letter……"
In fact, when Meili started to make gestures according to the old demon's request, the old demon knew that his guess was absolutely correct. Otherwise, the system would not be able to arrange for Meili, the NPC, to make such gestures.
It’s definitely programmed!
After firmly memorizing the writing trajectory of the three initials, the old demon returned to the stone pillar desk and found the corresponding correspondences, and then a clear pattern was formed in the old demon's mind.
Although he found the key to cracking the trap, the old demon did not dare to do it rashly, because there is a sequence. Start with the sun first, then the moon, and then the stars. But if you start from the moon first,
Then there are the stars next, and finally the sun. Different moves have different routes, but only one order can press down all nine grids!
After simulating it in his mind, the old demon finally decided on the route, starting from the stars... In fact, it is not difficult to crack this mechanism. As long as you figure it out, it is still very simple. When the old demon successfully solves all the problems,
After all the grids were pressed down, a rumbling sound suddenly came from below. When I walked to the edge of the pit, I saw that the pit below was rising little by little, as if it was an elevator. Slowly
The two of them were slowly brought up.
After the half-awake Yangguang and NPC Meili came out, the half-awake Yangguang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Brother Yao, you are so good, you actually found the mechanism and let us come up!"
Meili also smiled at the old demon and said: "Fortunately, if you stay a little later, the ground above the pit will close again. By then, even if I want to tell you how to write the letters, you won't be able to do anything about it.
Saw it."
The old demon was also very grateful. Fortunately, he understood it in time. Otherwise, the half-awake Yang Yang would probably have died inside waiting to return to the city, and he would not have been able to complete the task... Just when the three of them were sighing,
A strange sound suddenly came... It was a sound that sounded very eerie, just like the "gusts of wind" that often appear in horror movies. When the half-awake Sunshine heard it, his hair stood up.
!
The old demon frowned, because he had already obtained the diary, and naturally knew that this was probably the monster recorded in the diary, which was sealed in the underground shelter by the high priest Annali... "
Let’s go quickly!” the old demon urged, wanting to take the two of them back from the original route.
The door they came in from earlier had been quietly closed at some point. When the old demon and the others were about to push the door open, a huge head suddenly appeared on the door!
It was a very terrifying head, with no mouth or nose, and only three pairs of eyes on the entire face, which were arranged in sequence from top to bottom. When they saw the old demon and the others, the three pairs of eyes blinked in unison.
, the three eyelids opened neatly, and then closed, but all three of them were shocked.
It was only then that the three of them saw it clearly. It was a ghost-like creature. It passed through the wall from outside the door and appeared in front of everyone. When they saw the old demon and the others retreating, it also
Clicking the body through the door, its rag-like floating body was displayed in front of everyone.
Its two claws are extremely long and slender, and very sharp. There is a faint green light on the nails. On the wrists of both hands, a pair of huge shackles lock its hands. If it moves a little, it will clang.
Clanging sound.
[Poisonous Ghost: Level 48 undead BOSS creature, non-entity. 】
This was the first attribute they saw, which made the old demon and the half-awake Yang Yang feel their hearts sink.
Unexpectedly, the old demon just came to find someone to do a task, and he would encounter a level 48 BOSS here. It would be okay to say that the old demon brought a team of people, but at present, there are only two of them. If you want to kill
This BOSS may be a little difficult... Moreover, the attribute of this BOSS reads, non-entity. This is the most troublesome attribute for physics professions, because it means that the attacks of physics professions will have
80% chance of failure... The old demon is an assassin, while the half-awakened Sunshine is a hunter. Even the NPC Meili is also a hunter. There is not even a mage or priest present. How can they fight!?
Just when the old demon and the half-awake Yang Yang were hesitating about what to do, a low voice suddenly came from outside the door...
