When the cockroach completely picked out the necklace from the corpse's neck, Xue Hua discovered that it was not a magic necklace made of precious metal.
This is just an ordinary decoration made of an iron necklace that has been treated with simple anti-rust treatment.
At the bottom of the chain, there is a small brass-colored metal plate hanging.
Xue Hua picked up the metal plate and saw a line of small words engraved on it.
"Whoever sees this sign will never know our family's secrets! - Elizabeth Bathory"
"Elizabeth? Isn't that the countess? It seems that this place was indeed arranged by her... But why... why did she leave a metal plate here to remind me that her family has a 'secret'?"
Xue Hua frowned, puzzled.
Logically speaking, this is completely unnecessary.
If it is just to mock explorers, it seems too shallow.
With the Bathory family's stubbornness, shouldn't it be normal to silence all outsiders who might know the family secrets?
Just like the Countess did at the foot of her tower.
Is it because there is no energy and the back hand cannot be activated?
It is possible.
But why hang the chain on his brother's clone?
Logically speaking, if other explorers come, the only way they can see this chain is to kill Alessandro Bathory's clone.
This is definitely a pretty daunting task.
You know, even the walls in this basement are made of flames, and for the Bathory eldest son who seems to completely ignore flames, this is his home field.
In this environment, even if the opponent is ten levels higher than it, it can still make the opponent suffer severely.
And when the intruders successfully killed this guy after a hard fight, they were able to get this seemingly meaningless iron necklace.
If the backhand trap hidden somewhere here is activated at this time.
These explorers might not have been able to see the metal plate at all, and they would have been blown up into the sky along with the remains of the castle.
In this case, the existence of this metal plate is still meaningless?
"Forget it, never mind, this kind of puzzle is really painful to think about."
"Zagara! Bring the swarm of insects to me and dig this place into the ground! I want to see what shameful things they hide!"
Xue Hua shook his head, threw the metal plate into the inventory, and then ordered Zagara directly in the main nest mind.
He didn't bother to follow these perverted brain circuits, so he just used force to overcome cleverness and dig this place to the ground!
Under Xue Hua's order, the insect swarm quickly began to take action.
Since this underground space is really large, the number of insects that Xue Hua can bring in is also very large.
They soon covered the entire basement, and they began to search the basement inch by inch.
This search was very effective. In less than ten minutes, Zagara told him that the insect swarm found a huge metal hidden door in the northeast corner of the basement.
However, Zagara also brought bad news.
That is, the insect swarm cannot open that door at all.
"We tried all methods, including the strong acid of cockroaches, the claws of springtails, the spines of hydralisks, and even the acid-corroding spores of toadstools and the burning bile of saboteurs, but none of them could stay on that metal door.
Leave no trace..."
As Zagara walked over there with the statue of Xue Hua, he shook his huge head in frustration.
"...So stubborn? Where are the poisonous banelings? Is there any result from Isa's analysis? Also, why not try to bypass the door?"
Xue Hua sounds a bit miraculous. Is there a door that the Zerg cannot chew through?
Even General Warfield's fortress gate couldn't stop the swarm's attack. How could this secret metal door from a certain noble family resist?
"We have also tried poisonous banelings, Lord, and we even reinforced the surrounding load-bearing structures! But after the door withstood the self-destruction of dozens of poisonous banelings, it only sunk inward, and the poisonous
As soon as the baneling attacks stopped, the door reopened!"
"The adjutant is still analyzing and determining the material of this door. Isa seems to think that this is not a metal door! Also, Master, you said to let the insect swarm bypass the door. We have also tried this method, but the door
In the back room, it seems that even the walls are made of this strange material, and cockroaches have no way to deal with them!"
Zagara detailed the swarm's efforts to open the damn door, but became more and more frustrated.
After hearing its words, Xue Hua's expression gradually became serious.
He suddenly felt that this so-called Bathory family might have been hiding a shocking secret!
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why they would build such a secret room with fortress-level protection in a secret shelter.
...
Zagara and Xue Hua quickly arrived near the "metal" door, and Xue Hua also used the king insect's vision to see this door that was so awesome that even the insect swarm couldn't do anything to it.
This is a silver-white double door.
Its surface is as smooth as a mirror, and even under the king insect's night vision perspective, one can see the faint cold light reflected in the eyes of the springtails on the side.
There is no decoration on this door, not even a handle. The entire door is about four meters high, and the top is just flush with the basement ceiling.
This door...how to say?
It was very similar to the car-style elevator door that Xue Hua had seen many times in his previous life.
But as an elevator door, it seems a bit too big.
Xue Hua touched his chin and waved his hand gently behind him. Suddenly, a hissing sound sounded from the darkness, and large thorny needles flew out from the group of hydralisks behind him, directly hitting the silver-white door.
.
However, these sharp needles that could tear steel apart in the past only created circles of ripples on the door, like drops of water falling into calm water.
This reaction doesn't look like it was blocked...
And the explosive ratchet didn't explode at all...
It looks more like the attack has been absorbed...
"Isa, do you have any information you can provide?"
"Master, based on observation and verification, it is known that this is not a metal door at all, this is a high-density inert energy door."
There was a rare trace of solemnity in Isa's words.
"High-density...inert energy gate? Explain it, Isa."
Xue Hua frowned and finished reading the term, but he couldn't understand what it meant.
"You need to ask Abathur to know the specific principle. What is known now is that this kind of door is formed by compressing high-density inert energy. It is useless to launch any attack against it. It is only in
Just recharge it."
"Charging?"
"Yes, Master, if you want to open this kind of door, it is actually very simple. You only need to input a sufficient amount of spiritual energy into it to activate the inert energy, and the door will open automatically."
"A sufficient amount of... spiritual energy?!" Xue Hua raised his eyebrows, suddenly slapped his forehead, and shouted.
"I understand! I understand why the words on the bronze medal are so strange!"
"The words on the bronze medal are not reserved for those explorers who normally defeat his brother's clone! Those explorers will probably be blown away by the secret hand hidden here the moment they defeat Alessandro!"
"That bronze medal is specially reserved for those who discover underground psychic energy transmission pipelines no matter where they are and destroy the psychic energy collection end!"
"The Countess is provoking those people! Because except for the psychic energy transmission channel that can supply enough psychic energy to open this door, no individual or small team has the ability to open this door!"
