In less than half a minute, Ling Hao had already killed seven or eight dragon king salamanders with his sword. However, he could not relax at all and continued to protect the "Pippi Shrimp" towards the gate of the palace.
Retreat.
The battle here has completely attracted the attention of the creatures on the other side of the "fish wall". Almost all the dragon king salamanders swooped down. Seeing the dragon king salamanders rushing towards the palace, the group of spotted snakeheads immediately went crazy. The huge "fish wall"
"It collapsed instantly like a sandcastle. All the snakeheads swung their tails desperately and chased downwards. Their slender spindle-shaped bodies were like an arrow that was detached from the string, making the people below look as if they were in the middle of nowhere.
The hail of bullets is like the end of the world, and the scene is so majestic that it makes people even more afraid of death.
At this moment, Ling Hao and the others had approached the gate of the palace. Ling Hao shouted into the headset in his mask: "Don't hesitate, just run in!"
Shi Si shouted hoarsely: "No, we haven't figured out what the door is made of yet. If the propeller at the tail of the 'Pipi Shrimp' is damaged, we will all be suffocated here! And there is no door."
Block it, if we rush in, they will follow, and we will still have to be chased like dogs!" As she said that, she flicked the joystick again, and the "Pippi Shrimp" flicked its tail, turned around again, and headed towards
An arrow was fired at the palace gate, and there was a loud explosion. Unexpectedly, the wooden gate only shook twice, and some accumulated sand fell, but there was not much damage.
"Jesus! Don't blow up. That door is made of 'gloomy wood' and is a priceless treasure!" Stevenson howled, and Shi Si was dumbfounded.
"I'll do it, you cover me!" Ling Hao appeared next to the door and started to push the door hard. Shi Si had no choice but to turn around again and shoot wildly at the Dragon King Salamanders rushing behind him, including two titanium alloys.
The mechanical arm of Thorn Ball has also turned on the hydraulic system, ready to attack at any time.
Ling Hao pushed the door hard, and he immediately figured it out. Not only was there a latch in the middle behind the door, but there should also be a stone ball underneath. The latch was easy to handle. The "dragon arc" was inserted along the crack of the door and upwards.
As soon as he picked it up, it was opened. However, the door stone ball was a little more troublesome to deal with. The principle was not complicated. It was to put a heavy stone ball on an inclined slide. As soon as the door was closed, the stone ball would be released.
It will roll along the slide into a semicircular pit under the door. It fits perfectly and just holds the door up. No matter how hard you try from the outside, you can't push the door open. Many people think that this kind of design can only be found in ancient tombs.
Yes, in fact it is used in many city gates and even palace gates. As a kind of anti-locking device, it is very useful in dealing with enemy attacks.
But this is not a problem for Ling Hao. Although he is not an archaeological expert, he liked to read tomb robbery novels when he was in school. Although many of the contents in them are fabricated, there are still some useful and real things. How to deal with this stone ball.
There is.
The dragon arc in my hand happened to have a special shape, good curvature and hardness. As long as the stone ball was not too heavy, it was still possible to pry it out of the pit.
Just do it. Ling Hao didn't care about the thick fish oil and minced meat all over the floor. He just used his feet to pull it out. Then he lay on the ground and stretched the "Dragon Arc" from under the door and moved it sideways. He found
After removing the stone ball, tilt the blade of the knife, insert the tip of the knife downward into the gap between the stone ball and the pit, and start to pry it bit by bit. When it feels loose, you can use force to pry it out of the pit.
Shi Si's eyes were red, roaring and firing wildly. At this moment, she had adjusted the firing rate of the two fish cannons to the fastest. At this speed, the fish arrows in her arrowhead could not last for more than a few minutes. Xueting anxiously
Looking through the porthole, he looked at Ling Hao, who was lying on the ground with his butt sticking out in an extremely inelegant posture, and shouted through the communicator: "Boss, are you okay? We can't hold on any longer!"
"Okay, give me another 5 seconds!" Ling Hao shouted and began to exert force on his hands. The "Dragon Arc" was pressed by the weight of the stone ball until it was almost a crescent moon. He did not dare to exert too much force.
I was afraid that I would use too much force and break the only treasured sword left by my ancestors.
There was a "bang", and the sound of rolling stone balls sounded inside the door. It was obviously being pried up. Ling Hao pushed his shoulder, and the palace door was pushed open through a one-foot-wide crack. He just held the door open like this.
He slowly stood up straight. Although the stone ball had been pried out of the pit, it was still pressing against the door panel on the inclined slide rail, but now the door could be pushed. Ling Hao used all his strength to push the door.
, pushed the door forward step by step, and finally pushed it open slowly.
"Come in quickly!" Ling Hao shouted. Out of trust in him, Shi Si pulled the joystick back without even looking. The "Pippi Shrimp" just fired and retreated into the palace hall. Ling Hao
Hao ducked in almost at the same time. There was another "bang", and the stone ball once again relied on its weight to close the palace door, and it also returned to the pit where it had been for thousands of years and locked the door again.
, Ling Hao was still uneasy and picked up the door latch on the ground and re-inserted it. Although there were many Dragon King Salamanders banging against each other outside, he believed that they would not be able to break through this solid "Gloomy Wood" door for a while. Ling Hao
Then he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
At this time, except for Shi Si, everyone came out of the "Pippi Shrimp". Everyone did not scream with excitement because they had just escaped, but their attention was attracted by the scene in the main hall.
This palace is still grand, but it is still far behind the palaces in the Central Plains. However, for a small country like Qiemo, it can be said that it has devoted all its efforts to build it. The length and width of the main hall are seventeen or eighty meters, and the height is about
Eight meters high, there are six stone pillars supporting the two stone beams on the top of the hall. There is a throne deep in the hall. It is made of unknown metal and has been severely rusted. There are rotten armors, weapons and shields everywhere on the ground. It is obvious that here
There had been a fierce and fierce battle, but other than that, there was nothing else in the hall.
Everyone swam along the wide corridor to the back hall, and even the "Pippi Shrimp" could easily pass through it. The back hall was smaller than the front hall, and there were many decayed furniture remains. One side had a rather exotic style.
The huge glazed screen fell to the ground and broke into countless pieces, which made people feel regretful. Behind the screen was a secret door that had been opened, and a figure was standing there holding a huge scimitar, which scared everyone.
I jumped. After taking a closer look, I realized that it was a pair of metal full-body armor, much like the heavy armor of the European Middle Ages. The whole body was covered, and even the face and fingers could not be seen. It was not even possible to determine whether it was just a piece of armor or something inside.
Pretending to be a dead man.
Tian Yong was curious and stabbed the armor with the spear gun in his hand. Under Stevenson and Natasha's shouts, the armor still collapsed suddenly, and many bones scattered from it.
It shattered into powder and smoke.
Tian Yong shrugged indifferently and said: "What are you shouting for? Even if you touch them, they will fall apart. Is it possible that we can move them back together?"
The two archaeologists were about to say something, but Ling Hao waved his hands and said: "This warrior is guarding in front of this secret door, and his dead body has not even fallen down. This shows that he is probably the number one warrior in Qiemo."
, then could it be that what he is guarding behind is..."
At this point, everyone understood what he meant. Zuo Pengfei was the first to rush over and enter the secret door. Others followed closely, but the situation inside the secret door was shocking.
They were greatly disappointed. This was indeed a warehouse. There were many rotten wooden boxes on the ground, but there were no other items.
"It seems that it was looted during the war. Maybe the so-called 'Lolan Gold' no longer exists. Let's go to other parts of the palace to have a look. It would be good to find some cultural relics with historical research value.
" Stevenson didn't seem to be too shocked. Ling Hao frowned slightly. Didn't the British come here for the gold?
"No, this palace is not that big. We have seen both the main hall and the back hall. The palace at the back is very small, and the rest is the garden. It is not a place where a lot of items can be hidden at all. Those spotted snakeheads and Dragon King
What are the salamanders fighting for?" Zhu Xin asked doubtfully.
Ling Hao smiled: "They are animals, they don't like gold, right? These are two completely unrelated things."
Zhuxin continued: "Then I also think there is something strange. In ancient times, Qiemo was just an oasis in the desert. The flat terrain was impossible to be attacked by the enemy army, right? If there were a lot of treasures and gold, there should be time to destroy them.
Hidden in a place that is harder to find, and just piled up in a warehouse. There will be no more than 300 corpses in the entire palace. The defense is really empty. Can you imagine that for such a large batch of treasures, the only effective security
Is the solution just that secret door and a so-called first warrior? Isn’t this too childish?”
Ling Hao was also silent. What Zhu Xin said made sense to him. Zhu Xin had already begun to look back and forth in the warehouse, and from time to time he would knock the wall tiles or floor tiles with the handle of the spear gun. Less than ten
Minutes later, she really discovered something strange. In the corner, a wall tile was knocked off by Zhu Xin, and a handle was exposed inside. She immediately stretched out her hand and pulled it excitedly. The handle was connected to an iron chain, and was suddenly pulled.
Pulling, there was a "rumbling" sound of gears turning under the floor, and the two floor tiles were slowly moved away. Halfway through, the iron chain was severely broken due to corrosion, and only a hole was exposed on the ground that could allow one person to enter.
, it’s so dark down there, I don’t know where it is.
Ling Hao took out a fluorescent stick from his carrying bag, broke it, and threw it in. Judging from the brightness, it was only four to five meters deep at most.
"Go down and have a look." Ling Hao jumped in first, followed by Zhu Xin, Zuo Pengfei, Tian Yong and Xueting.
The space below should be about the same size as the warehouse above. There are stone slabs nearly one meter thick between each other, so the warehouse above cannot hear anything abnormal below by knocking on the floor.
Several more cold fireworks were lit, and everyone was stunned. If the scene in front of them could be described in one word, it could only be "Golden Mountain".
This hidden underground warehouse stores mountains of gold, including stacks of gold bricks, mountains of gold leaves and gold utensils, and gold beans packed in wooden boxes all over the floor.
The box is rotten, and these golden beans are scattered everywhere. The amount of gold here is more than ten times what Ling Hao and the others saw in the mermaid treasure house of Mu continent. No matter what era, this is definitely an unimaginable sum.
Everyone was immersed in shock at the huge wealth.
Suddenly, Ling Hao said "Hey": "Where are Stevenson and Natasha? Where have they gone?"
