Steven and Kate carefully observed the body of the python for a while, discussed their opinions, and then decided to continue exploring the hall. After dragging the body of the python to the corner, they continued towards the hall along the row of stone pillars in the middle.
Go deep.
The length of the hall was more than 50 meters. Soon the two came to the end of the hall. There was a doorway here. After entering the doorway, they walked into a walkway. This walkway was the same as the previous walkway, except that there was no vent. The two estimated that now
The location is already in the middle of the mountain on the north side, and even the hall just now may be in the middle of the mountain.
After they walked dozens of meters along the aisle, another closed stone door appeared on the wall at the end. The two came to the stone door. Steven stood in front of the stone door for a while, and then he said to Kate: "
Kate, I feel like there might be something behind this stone door. It's getting late today, let's go back and have a good rest, and come back tomorrow."
Kate nodded and said: "If there is anything in here, it is probably at least something like the corpse python just now. Come back tomorrow. Now go back and have a rest and prepare for tomorrow."
So the two of them did not push open the stone door, turned around and walked back. Soon they came to the ventilation opening of the second floor walkway and exited the pyramid through the ventilation opening.
As usual, the two of them came to the river. They first washed their blood-stained scales, armor and clothes in the river water, and then lay down in the shallow water and let the cool water relax their bodies and take away their nervous emotions.
After returning to the camp, Kate pulled out the tallest cassava from the ground and began to process cassava flour. The yield of cassava in the tropics is very high. More than ten pounds of cassava cubes can be harvested from the root of a tree.
Kate washed the cassava cubes and peeled off the skin, then chopped it into small pieces with a machete, and then soaked it in a wooden bucket filled with water to dissolve the starch, while Steven went into the house, picked up the hunting bow, and walked out of the camp to the mountains.
Went hunting in the plains.
When the sun was about to set, Steven pushed open the fence gate of the small courtyard with a pheasant. After he came in, he started to deal with the pheasant in his hand. Kate had already cut the young leaves of the purple banana into thin strips and was working on it.
After preparing the staple food for the night, the two of them enjoyed a delicious barbecue and dinner next to the bonfire in the small courtyard. At this time, the orange curved moon Elise was rising in the sky.
It was already December, and a month had passed since they had cleaned up the corpses on the first floor. The two estimated that the exploration of the pyramid was coming to an end. As for whether they would carefully explore and study the ruins again in the future, the two
They decided to wait until they returned to Grant Continent to be fully prepared. Before that, they decided to copy the magic circle and runes on the 6th floor, and then bring the data back to Grant.
The two of them took an early rest after eating. The next day they arrived at the vent of the pyramid ruins under the rising sun. Soon they entered the vent and followed the last route through the 6th floor hall to escape.
After the entanglement of the guards, they entered the corridor leading to the corpse python hall.
Entering the doorway of the hall, the body of the corpse python killed yesterday was still in the corner, but the permeating gray fog had not dissipated. It seemed that the fog had nothing to do with the corpse python.
Soon the two walked through the hall and entered the corridor. The ground of this corridor was still filled with a layer of fog. At the end of the corridor was the stone door they did not push open yesterday. Standing in front of the stone door, Steven said to Kate: "Kate
, I felt that there might be something behind the stone door when I was here yesterday. I still feel this way when I am standing here. If there is anything abnormal after entering later, you must exit this stone door first. Also, you can put your earplugs in later.
Take it out and put it on."
Kate nodded and said: "You don't have to care too much about my reaction, Steven! No one in the world knows your strength better than me. If there is something behind the door that threatens my life, then I will immediately
Exit this door! I know that in extreme situations, you will be able to show your true strength without me distracting you."
"Then it's settled, Kate! Don't leave the door after we enter. I will send a signal if there is any danger. At that time, don't hesitate to exit immediately."
The two discussed the plans and some details for various situations at the door. Then they came to the stone door and pushed the stone door open to create a gap. When the gap expanded enough to allow one person to pass through, they stopped and stopped.
Then Steven turned sideways and slowly poked his head out of the stone door to take a closer look. The end of the short walkway behind the stone door was indeed a hall. The size of this hall was at least the same as the one behind them, but there was no row of stone pillars in the middle of the hall. On the floor of the hall
There was still a layer of gray fog shrouding the hall, and the hall was completely dark and extremely quiet. Fortunately, Steven's night vision ability allowed him to see scenes dozens of meters away.
Steven carefully sensed the stone door for a while and found nothing unusual. He gestured to Kate behind him, and then he slowly entered the short walkway behind the stone door. This walkway was several meters long. He would come later.
Go to the entrance of the corridor and wait there. After a while, Kate also enters the stone door with a torch on his back and earplugs in his ears.
According to the previously discussed plan, Kate stopped in the short corridor behind the stone door. He had to wait for Steven to search the entire hall before entering. If Steven encountered any monster while exploring the hall, he would have to wait for Steven to search the entire hall before entering.
Responsible for assessing the degree of danger in the hall. If he feels that Kate's life is in danger if she stays in the hall, according to the previous agreement, Steven will send a signal to notify Kate to exit the hall immediately. If there is no danger, Steven will also notify with gestures
Kate.
All this evaluation process will be completed by Steven alone, and Kate needs to fully trust Steven's judgment and execute it immediately.
Steven waited until Kate entered the short walkway, stayed at the entrance of the walkway for a while, and felt it carefully again. There was nothing unusual. Then he gestured to Kate, and then he leaned against the wall on the right and slowly headed to the right.
After walking away, Kate still stayed in front of the stone door without moving.
Soon Steven came to the corner of the two walls. Steven could estimate that the width of the hall was about 50 meters. Steven turned along the corner to the long wall and continued to move along the wall.
, and at the same time let go of your senses and pay attention to the surrounding situation. At this time, in the darkness, only the light of torches was swaying in the short walkway through the doorway.
Steven walked along the wall. After walking a few dozen meters, he saw the corner of two walls not far ahead. His line of sight extended to the middle along the opposite wall after the turn, and then he
There seemed to be an object in the middle of the hall on the opposite wall. The object was at the edge of Steven's night vision range, and he couldn't see it very clearly.
