At this time, Kate took out her pocket watch and looked at it. It was already getting late, and they had almost completed exploring the fifth floor. So the two of them left the ruins and went to the river to bathe and relax as usual, and then returned to the camp to eat and rest.
In a blink of an eye, the next day arrived. In the early morning, the two of them entered the pyramid and came to the stairwell at the corner of the south and east sides of the fifth floor. According to their plan yesterday, they would speed up today and try to explore a few more floors. They would no longer be confused.
It was so detailed before, but after discussing it the night before, they felt that there was basically nothing valuable left on the explorable surface of the ruins, such as murals, carvings, etc. The pyramid itself and the guardians that could be left behind could not bring out the darkness.
Rainforest.
They estimated that the upper floors would be in similar condition, so they planned to walk through the entire pyramid roughly first, and then explore the key points in detail later.
The two of them paused at the doorway of the stairwell for a while. Steven took the lead into the stairwell and headed toward the 6th floor. As soon as they reached the first turning, Steven heard some voices on the 6th floor.
The sound, it was a very slight buzzing sound, accompanied by a breeze. He concentrated on describing the situation softly to Kate. Then the two of them took out their weapons and were on alert. Steven slowed down.
, slowly walk up the stairs.
This stairway turned many times, and the further up it went, the clearer Steven could hear it. When approaching the last two stairways, Steven also noticed that there was some light shining through the doorway of the stairwell. The two then climbed the last step.
At one section, the staircase faces a door opening, and the sounds and lights are coming from outside the door opening.
Steven probed into the doorway and felt it. There was a walkway outside the doorway. On the right side of the walkway outside the doorway was a rock wall on the east side. The only way to go was to the left. There was a ceiling dozens of meters in front of the walkway on the inside of the pyramid.
There is a hole, and those sounds and lights come out of that hole.
At this time, Kate also entered the corridor. They discussed in a low voice and felt that the sound was continuous and did not seem to be made by some kind of monster. Soon they came to the hole where the sound and light came out. The hole was very small and smaller than the sound.
The vent through which they entered the pyramid was much smaller, and a human body could not pass through it. Steven felt that this should also be a vent.
Following the walkway, a second hole soon appeared under the ceiling in front. The two continued to walk forward, and then they found a doorway not far after passing the second ventilation hole. This doorway was recessed into the wall about 1 meter.
There was a stone door at the location, which was tightly closed. They discussed it at the doorway and decided not to go in yet, but to explore the corridor before coming back, so the two of them continued to walk forward along the corridor.
After passing two more vents, they came to the end. On the left side of the corridor was a doorway, inside was another staircase, and in front was a rock wall.
So the two of them returned to the doorway in the middle of the corridor, and they were about to push the stone door open and go in. After being prepared, the two of them pushed the stone door hard.
This stone door was different from the stone door in the room where the straight knife was placed. The two of them pushed it open without much effort. There was an almost 2-meter-long walkway behind the stone door. At this time, the light in front was very bright. They walked through the stone door and saw
Ahead is a hall.
Not far from the hall was a rock platform, which was higher than their sight. They saw that the light source seemed to be generated in the center of the hall, like a light pillar, from above to the middle of the rock platform, and then they heard heavy footsteps.
There was a sound, and then a guard appeared at the exit of the corridor and blocked them.
Steven looked over the defender's shoulder and saw that there seemed to be a spire in the center of the stone platform, with a beam of light connected to the spire, but before he could take a closer look, the defender attacked him, and the two had to temporarily retreat into the corridor.
Behind the stone door, the guard entered the corridor and closed the stone door, then turned and returned to the hall.
Steven said to Kate: "Kate, it seems that this place is completely different from down there. There are actually some devices running! But those guards are more troublesome. We have to find a way. I can hear that there are more than one in the hall.
Guardians, it may be dangerous if you fight them head-on."
Kate looked at the stone platform in the hall outside the corridor and said to Steven: "Steven, the stone platform in the middle of the hall is about 2 meters high. Later, you can use your speed to jump to it before the guards can intercept it.
On that stone platform, first observe the situation there and in the entire hall. Don't fight with the guards. If they can't get on the platform, just inform me and I'll come up too. If they can get up or on the platform,
If there are guards, please come back immediately and we will discuss other plans."
Steven said: "This is a good idea, Kate! Let's wait in the aisle for a while, and I will rush over after the guard relaxes his vigilance."
They discussed the details again, and then the two of them waited quietly in the corridor for more than 20 minutes, then quietly entered the corridor and pushed the stone door halfway open. Steven listened carefully to the sounds in the hall and confirmed the guard just now.
The reporter was no longer near the entrance, so he gestured to Kate and rushed out of the aisle towards the stone platform in the hall.
The edge of the stone platform was only ten meters away from the entrance of the walkway. Steven reached the edge of the stone platform in a few steps. He jumped up and grabbed the edge of the stone platform with both hands, and then used both hands to push his head out of the stone platform.
, after confirming that there was no danger on the stone platform, he turned his hands down again and jumped onto the stone platform. At this time, the guard just now had reached the position below where Steven had climbed up. It kept making a sound and looked at it.
He looked at Steven above, but took no further action.
Steven saw that the guard had no intention of coming up, so he turned around and observed carefully. There was a black pyramid in the center of the stone platform he was standing on. This pyramid was like a pocket version of the ruins pyramid, except that it was
The spire is about seven or eight meters high, and the side width is almost two heights. The light beam extends upward from the spire of this small pyramid to the ceiling of the hall. The range of the light beam is slightly smaller than that of the pyramid. The light beam is very soft and does not
It was dazzling, but it illuminated the entire hall. It was not all white light in the middle, but there were some light groups of other colors, which were slowly falling from above in the white light pillar, and disappeared after falling on the pyramid.
The weak and low buzzing sound was emanated from the small pyramid, and at the same time, there was a wind surrounding the light column and blowing down from the ceiling.
Steven looked up along the light beam and saw the source of the light beam on the ceiling dozens of meters high. It was an upside-down pyramid exactly like the pyramid below! The light beam was hanging upside down from there.
Photographed by the pyramid, the colorful light groups in the middle slowly float down from the pyramid hanging upside down from the ceiling.
