The corridor is about three meters wide and five meters high, leading deep into the mountain with no end in sight. There are oil bowls placed on the alcoves, and bean-like flames burn quietly.
Xiahou Aotian stood in front of the door, sniffed his nose, and said:
"The oxygen content is very high, the rancid smell is very light, and the oil lamp is still burning, which means that the air circulation system in the belly of the mountain is functioning normally, and there should be no poisonous gas or anything, and it can enter."
He looked back at his teammates:
"Which of you is going to be cannon fodder? I am a bachelor and I am responsible for strategizing."
Madoka suddenly said:
"Since it is a government city, there must be a government agency in the corridor. We need a scout to conduct on-site investigation."
Everyone looked at Guan Ya, she was the only scout present.
Guan Ya said coldly: "Just ask me to take the lead."
Xiao Yuan nodded slightly: "Then it will be hard work."
Guan Ya: "Heh~"
While the two were talking, Xiahou Aotian silently sent the piston earphones to Sun Miaomiao and others.
[Xiahou Aotian: Will these two women do bad things? I often see this kind of mentally retarded character in movies, TV series, and novels who are jealous and then act as a stumbling block at critical moments. You must know that this is an S-level dungeon and cannot be tolerated.
There are two supporting characters who are mentally retarded.]
[Zhao Chenghuang: If they can become saints, they cannot be brainless people. Don’t worry about it. But since Yuanshi Tianzun has a girlfriend, he shouldn’t bring a woman with whom he has an unclear relationship. It’s really unwise.]
[Sun Miaomiao: This guy Yuanshi Tianzun is very smart when he is smart, and he is also mentally retarded when he is mentally retarded, especially when dealing with emotional issues. 】
[The world returns to fire: I guess he has little experience in love. Hehe, no matter how smart a college student is, he has only been eating for twenty years. It is impossible to do everything. He is far worse than a veteran.]
[Xiahou Aotian: Although he is young, he is quite playful. Yuanshi Tianzun looks like a scumbag at first glance, but some girls just like moths to the flames. They are really mentally ill. 】
[Sun Miaomiao: What you said is too much. I don’t like Yuanshi Tianzun at all. Don’t be weird. 】
[Zhao Chenghuang: Miaomiao, he is not talking about you]
Zhang Yuanqing dragged his tired body over and stared at their ears, "What are you whispering behind your back?"
"Nothing!" Everyone took off their headphones and put them in their pockets tacitly.
At this time, Guan Ya held a Han Bafang bronze sword and took the lead in stepping into the corridor with long legs.
Zhang Yuanqing was afraid that she would make a mistake, so he quickly followed her in.
Why did Xiao Yuan smell so strong today? He followed Guan Ya and whispered:
"Daughter-in-law, don't be angry with her."
Guan Ya said calmly: "I'm not a Cancer, and I don't know how to fall in love. Don't worry, I won't argue with her. As for you, I'll settle the score after I publish the copy."
With a cold face, she moved forward between the piled corpses, sometimes kicking this one, sometimes kicking away that one, and then carefully examined the wall.
A few minutes later, Guan Ya looked at the team members who came in and said:
"Most of the dead at the door were with their backs facing up. They were killed while escaping. Judging from the flat cut marks on the bones and the sword marks on the wall, the enemies were swordsmen, and there were more than two in number.
"All these people died at the entrance of the corridor, which means that once you enter the city, the stone gate will be closed. This corridor is a one-way passage, either you pass or die."
Pass the level or die. Everyone frowned, inevitably feeling heavy.
Xiahou Aotian said:
"Don't be scared by S-level dungeons. Before I came here, I read the papers in the family database. There is an upper limit to the strength of the dungeon. There are four levels among us, some five levels, but only Yuanshi Tianzun is level six.
"Theoretically speaking, the dangers in the city are weak master level at most, and they are definitely bosses. Before encountering the boss, Yuanshi Tianzun can handle most of the levels."
After everyone heard this, they felt a little relieved.
"No!" Sun Miaomiao said softly:
"I just looked at everyone's faces. Except for Yuanshi Tianzun, everyone is suffering from a bloody disaster.
"Yuanshi Tianzun is also shrouded in clouds, accompanied by bloody light. This means that we will die at any time, and Yuanshi Tianzun may be seriously injured or die."
Asano Ryo clenched his fists and whispered something in Japanese, as if to cheer himself up.
Princess Yinyao raised the trumpet: "We cannot take it lightly. After all, Yuanshi Tianzun is just a night wandering god with a single ability. He can withstand many dangers, but he may not be able to save us."
Zhang Yuanqing led the team forward, and everyone kept a distance of ten meters from him.
After walking through the dark corridor for more than ten minutes, Zhang Yuanqing suddenly stopped. In front of him stood two swordsmen wearing raincoats and bamboo hats.
They stood like sculptures, facing the crowd, with their heads lowered, and the brim of their hats covering their faces.
"Yinyao, go try them." Zhang Yuanqing said.
Princess Yinyao immediately stepped forward. When she walked to Guan Ya, she reached out and snatched the Han Bafang Ancient Sword from her hand and said:
"Borrow the sword and use it."
She slowly walked up to the two swordsmen, and there was a "sizzling" sound from her pocket. Soon, Qingyue's song echoed:
"Eating frost and drinking snow, forging a sword for ten years and sharpening it, just wait and see how I can stand up to the challenge with just one ride, how dare I tell ten thousand men to be indifferent~"
Yin Yao slapped her with her backhand, and the Elvis Presley speaker immediately became obedient.
At this time, the two swordsmen in bamboo hats suddenly raised their heads. Under the hats were two faces covered with black iron masks, and two pairs of eyes flashing red.
"Eye of Bewitchment." Princess Yinyao said, she raised her hand and pressed her eyebrows.
The two swordsmen in bamboo hats pulled out their swords with a "clang" sound, and with a whistling sound, the sword energy cut through the air and made a shrill whistle.
Princess Yinyao slowly raised her bronze sword and pulled out a sword flower, which jingled and sparks flew everywhere.
She swung her sword across to open up the two swordsmen's attacks. She squatted, wandered at night, and silently swept in front of the swordsmen. She pressed her palms on the chests of the two swordsmen and exerted force.
Bang!
The two swordsmen flew backwards.
"Come back!" Zhang Yuanqing looked at his teammates behind him, "Which one of you is going to be at the peak level of Level 4?"
When the dungeon is settled, rewards are settled based on each person's contribution.
Even if it's S-level, if you lie flat all the way, you won't gain much experience.
As the words fell, two fireballs shot out at the same time, exploding to the ground. Brother Red Rooster and Tianxia Guihuo were the first to go out.
Immediately there were two gunshots, and Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang provided long-range shooting support - the corridor was too narrow to accommodate multiple people fighting in a melee.
Seeing this, Guan Ya calmly took out his gun and shot him.
The five of them joined forces and quickly defeated the two swordsmen.
Xiahou Aotian hurriedly stepped forward and removed his coir raincoat and bamboo hat, revealing his severely damaged body. The swordsman's body was made of cast iron and wood.
These are two puppets.
Xiahou Aotian pried open the slightly dented iron plate on the puppet's chest and clicked his tongue:
"Wonderful, wonderful, the manufacturing process of these two puppets is a bit old, but they can maintain operation for thousands of years. The wisdom of the ancients is really amazing. Yuanshi, collect them, I will take them back and study them carefully."
In addition to the ancient craftsmanship, the materials on the puppet are also of high value.
Zhang Yuanqing took out Little Red Riding Hood, took away the puppet swordsman, and reminded:
"It has lasted for thousands of years. It is most likely that the spiritual realm has endowed it with magic, rather than how awesome the puppet's craftsmanship is. Also, will this thing be useful to you? You are just an alchemist, not a weapon refiner."
Xiahou Aotian raised his handsome face and said disdainfully:
"Don't you understand? The mechanism technique is a branch of the weapon refining technique. You don't need to reach the master stage to learn it. The mechanism technique passed down from ancient times is divided into two major schools, Mohism and Luban.
"Luban's mechanism technique was later integrated with the curse spells of psychics and the spirit urn of the night wandering god, which was called the overwhelming technique by later generations. The Mohist mechanism technique slowly disappeared in history.
"When the ancient practitioners became extinct, the art of victory was also lost. A few years ago, the government and the three bachelor's schools jointly set up a fund to 'promote the ancient art', but in the end nothing happened."
Sun Miaomiao asked with great interest: "Why?"
"Time is one thing. Any technology relies on accumulation. The art of machine learning has been lost long ago. Without the guidance of a master, it would take more than ten years to get started by just relying on your own research. The history is only a few hundred years. The spiritual realm family has only reached scale in the past five years.
It took ten years." Xiahou Aotian said with emotion:
"On the other hand, the mechanism technique is a branch of the weapon refining technique. For the master, with the materials and time, wouldn't it be better for me to directly refine the items? Therefore, the mechanism technique has not been carried forward so far. A small number of the three great bachelors' families are obsessed with it.
People in this field are still doing research, and they have indeed created a lot of good things, but they are too niche."
Tian Xia Gui Huo thought for a while and said: "There may be secrets of mechanism skills here. When the time comes, the secrets will be yours and you will provide the gang with mechanism weapons."
"As long as you give me money, it's fine." Xiahou Aotian's wallet has always been tight.
The group continued to move forward, encountering "poisonous arrow" attacks, stone ball attacks, poisonous smoke attacks, and evil spirits attacks along the way, and survived many difficulties without any danger.
Finally walked out of the long corridor and came to a huge grotto.
At the entrance of the grotto there is a stone tablet with the words "Minggui" and "Jieyong" written on it.
The entire grotto is about sixty square meters, with only two passages, one is the entrance, and the other is the exit opposite everyone.
On the floor of the grotto is a huge Bagua diagram, and at the exit is a three-meter-tall statue of a green-faced and fanged evil ghost.
The straight-line distance between the two passages is only sixty meters. For everyone, it can pass in the blink of an eye.
But the ground where the Bagua was engraved was covered with corpses and broken bones.
It foreshadows the murderous intent inside the grotto.
"What does Minggui and Jieyong mean?" Brother Hongji asked.
"Frugality means frugality, I don't know." Sun Miaomiao looked like she was not very well educated.
Xiahou Aotian, as the most knowledgeable person present, said:
"Minggui and frugality are the ideas of Mohism. Frugality means opposing extravagance and waste, saving money and improving productivity. Minggui is more controversial. The most recognized statement is: Believe in ghosts and gods. Ghosts and gods can distinguish between good and evil, so we must
Be fearful and avoid doing bad things.”
Tianxiaguihuo listened silently, examined the situation in the grotto, and said:
"More people have died here than outside. It's very dangerous. The old rule is to use the Inferi to find the way."
Zhao Chenghuang immediately took out the bronze box, used his spiritual servant to control the terracotta warriors, and entered the grotto.
"Boom!"
As soon as the terracotta warriors entered the grotto, the yin-yang fish in the center of the Bagua diagram began to rotate slowly, while the green-faced and fanged evil spirit at the exit turned its head and stared at the terracotta warriors with dark eyes.
Boom! Boom!
When the terracotta warriors took their third step, the yin-yang fish just completed a circle.
The next second, the evil ghost with a blue face and fangs shot out two white lights from its pupils.
Bang!
The terracotta warriors exploded into pieces instantly and scattered all over the ground.
The scattered stones trembled slightly, quickly gathered together, and re-condensed into terracotta warriors.
Zhang Yuanqing suddenly said: "Take a step forward!"
Zhao Chenghuang's spiritual servant reconnected with the terracotta warriors and controlled it to take a step.
The yin-yang fish in the center of the Bagua diagram rotates again. When it completes a circle, two white lights shoot out from the eyes of the green-faced and fanged evil spirit.
The terracotta warriors exploded to pieces again.
After condensing again, Zhang Yuanqing said: "Get back!"
The soldiers retreated, this time without being attacked.
Zhang Yuanqing looked at the scout’s girlfriend:
"How to say?"
Guan Ya has already seen the pattern and said:
"As long as something enters the grotto, it will trigger the attack of the evil ghost sculpture. Before the Yin-Yang Fish completes a circle, it must pass through the grotto and reach the exit."
Brother Hongji immediately said: "This is easy to handle, I will be there in a flash."
"It's not that simple." Guan Ya looked at the broken bones in the grotto, "Mo Sect is an immortal sect. If the Jin people dare to come, they must have summoned a large number of ancient practitioners. Are there no fire masters among these people? Escape
It definitely won’t work, Yuanshi, why don’t you try using a spirit servant?”
Zhang Yuanqing breathed out a breath of yin, and a young spiritual servant with the image of a disemboweled body roared away towards the exit at an extremely fast speed.
I saw the Taichi fish in the center of the Bagua diagram complete a circle in an instant, and the eyes of the evil ghost sculpture shot out two jet-black beams of light, shining on the spiritual servant.
The spirit servant let out a sharp, silent scream, which dissipated into a ball of black smoke.
"My soul is gone." Zhang Yuanqing frowned.
Guan Ya nodded:
"The white light is directed at physical objects, and the black light is directed at negative objects. The faster the speed, the faster the Yin-Yang fish rotates, and the escape technique will not work."
She suddenly took out a large-caliber pistol and pulled the trigger at the devil sculpture.
"boom!"
As soon as the bullet left the barrel of the gun, the Taichi Fish completed a circle at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, followed by a flash of white light and the warhead exploded into powder.
"As long as you pass through the grotto, no matter what you are, you will suffer a devastating attack." Guan Ya shook his head.
"The attack strength can directly kill level 5 warriors. My terracotta warriors have good defense, and even level 4 saints cannot easily destroy them." Zhao Chenghuang said solemnly.
Brother Red Chicken's eyes widened: "Isn't this unsolvable?"
"No," Tianxia Guihuo said: "Look at the Skeleton Branch, there are several corpses approaching the exit. In other words, they have resisted several attacks from evil spirits and were just one step away from succeeding. How did they succeed?
?”
Sun Miaomiao thought: "Human sea tactics."
Tianxia Guihuo nodded: "That's it, use the Inferi and mercenaries as cannon fodder and we rush over."
He thought for a while and said: "Zhao Chenghuang's terracotta warriors have the ability to 'self-heal', so don't use the Yin Corpse yet."
After speaking, he looked at Zhao Chenghuang.
The latter understood it, and the servant's fingers stretched out dark lines and penetrated into the bronze box.
One after another, the pitch-black mercenaries emerged, twelve in total.
These military mercenaries were transformed from the terracotta warriors in the underground palace.
Although Zhao Chenghuang does not have that many Inferi, his military mercenaries are stronger than the average Level 4 Inferi.
"Dong dong dong"
Twelve warriors rushed into the grotto in neat steps.
The Taichi fish rotated wildly, and the evil ghost sculpture's eyeballs shot out beams of light one after another, as fast as lasers.
The world returns to fire, pinches the fireball, and throws it out with all its strength.
Sun Miaomiao used the star escape technique.
Fire surged from the surface of Tianxiaguihuo's body, and starlight enveloped Sun Miaomiao.
The fire went out, the starlight dissipated, and the two people remained in place without moving.
Before the starlight and firelight enveloped them, the terracotta warriors in the grotto had already been defeated by the "laser".
"Skills cannot be used." Tianxia Guihuo's face changed slightly. He seemed to have remembered something and looked at the stone tablet suddenly, "Effectively. You cannot use skills in the grotto."
"The twelve Yin corpses lasted less than two seconds." Zhao Chenghuang's tone was unprecedentedly solemn.
The team fell into silence for a while.
However, something worse happened. Brother Red Chicken pointed at the corridor behind him and shouted:
"Toxic fog!"
Everyone looked back and saw a large plume of yellow-green smoke coming in like a thick fog.
For a time, the team was attacked from both sides.
