Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 96 The Countdown Begins

Hearing Suo Hun Ding Lingzhu repeat these words so excitedly, Xiao Ran felt even more anxious and desperate, and was very puzzled about his attitude and what he said.

"Suozi, what are you so excited about? Why are you buried with me? Why don't you have time?"

The Soul Locking Lingzhu was silent for a while, it seems that his own spirit also needs to be fixed, and then he said in a calm tone: "According to the laws set by Queen Jingjue, as long as anyone who enters the city without permission, They will be her slaves by default. Work hard to bring all the property on your body, and it must also become the property of the Queen of Essence."

Xiao Ran thought of the vague words he heard when he first stepped into the city, and couldn't help shivering. It seemed that it was not a hallucination.

But after thinking about it, the ancient city of Jingjue has been turned into ruins, so why are slaves not slaves, and laws not laws?
He asked Suohun Dinglingzhu: "The queen doesn't know where she is now, and there is no army in the city. How can she do anything to us?"

Suohun Dinglingzhu sighed and said: "Even if there is no army, she has other ways. If you can't solve her before sunset, the sandstorm will bury the entire ancient city again, including you."

Xiao Ran wondered: "Get rid of her? Wasn't she poisoned by Prince Gumo? She's been dead for thousands of years."

If he remembers correctly, the exquisite queen can only rely on the corpse-scented konjac next to the coffin to confuse people, can she still get out of the coffin?

Locking Soul Ding Lingzhu said: "Queen Jingjue is not an ordinary person, she was not conquered by death, and she cursed me...Prince Gumo."

Hearing this, Xiao Ran quickly stopped: "Stop it, what a mess. Didn't you lock the soul and fix the Lingzhu? Why did you become Prince Gumo again?"

"Before Queen Jingjue died, she knew that it was Prince Gumo who poisoned Prince Gumo, so she cast a poisonous curse on Prince Gumo. Before the prince died, he locked the last trace of memory with me. You can also understand it as the last ray of soul, just to completely The queen of the end spirit. Now he is me, and I am him. I don't remember the other things clearly, but I remember that I must come to complete the mission..."

Xiao Ran asked: "Then what do you mean, Queen Jingjue is not completely dead?"

Locking Soul Ding Lingzhu said: "I can only feel that her curse and power still exist, we must find her as soon as possible! There is only one day left!"

What a mess!Xiao Ran looked out the window, only to see the breeze blowing outside, with yellow sand rolling up into the sky from time to time.It was clearly still morning, but there was a sliver of yellow in the sky.

According to what Zhu Zi said, the top priority right now is to find the queen's tomb first, and then get rid of the snake queen completely.

"Then do you know the location of her mausoleum?" Xiao Ran asked anxiously.

Locking Soul Locking Lingzhu, or Prince Gumo said with some embarrassment: "My perception is different from that of human beings, and I am easily affected by the power of the Queen Jingjue. Her curse spreads all over the city, and even the entire Black Desert. I only remember When I went to see her back then, I saw this black tower in the northeast of the castle..."

"Okay! That's enough!"

Lie down in front of the window, Xiao Ran looked to the southwest of the Blackstone Tower, and he saw the ruins with the largest area.Like the other houses, there are ruins, but judging from the thickness of the remaining walls, it must have been a very tall building.

Professor Chen and others were still talking about the stone statue of Queen Jingjue.

"This woman doesn't even dare to show her face, she's probably an ugly monster..."

The fat man rolled his eyes on the stone statue of the queen, and kept spitting out bits and pieces, but Hu Bayi stopped him.

Xiao Ran wanted to come over to remind everyone to look at the palace ruins outside the window, but Professor Chen stopped him and said, "Xiao Ran also said before that this pagoda is related to the belief of the Jingjue Kingdom. Let me add that this belief is actually a spiritual one. Classification. From the top to the bottom of the stone tower, the ranks are also from noble to humble."

"The fifth floor, the empty one, what should it be?" the fat man asked.

Xiao Ran hurriedly said: "The imaginary space! In the tomb of Prince Gumo, Ms. Yang mentioned it before. So the fifth floor is not empty, but represents that huge space. The eyes on the top of the tower represent the ghost cave The highest belief of civilization is also the source of the Queen's strength, and even the high-ranking Queen must submit to this source of power."

The professor smiled and nodded again and again: "Xiao Ran is right. It's a pity that the Ghost Cave Clan is too mysterious. Except for this exquisite ancient city with the Ghost Cave Clan as the main body, there are no other similar relics found, let alone the ghost cave clan. The remains of the Dong tribe. If we can find more evidence related to the ghost cave tribe here, it will play a vital role in studying the lost part of the culture of the Western Regions..."

Having said that, Xiao Ran hurriedly dragged Professor Chen to the window, pointed to the large ruins not far away, and said, "Look, is that the palace ruins of Queen Jingjue? The entire ancient city of Jingjue, as far as the area covered there is Max, let's hurry up..."

Professor Chen widened his eyes, scanned the entire ancient city, and exclaimed: "Even the layout of this city is in the shape of a huge eye. It seems that our previous deduction is correct."

Sa Dipeng, who had passed the strength of Wushi Sanyao, felt a little weak again, and asked cautiously: "So, the imaginary space really exists, and does the queen really have the ability to make people disappear...?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the stone statue of the queen, and moved to the back of the stone statue calmly, for fear that the eyes of the queen of the stone statue would also see him.

Seeing everyone's worried expressions, Professor Chen explained: "Everyone, don't be nervous. Think about our emperor, who doesn't say that he is the real dragon emperor, who is ordered by the sky? But in fact, he is all flesh and blood. This is the ancient feudal ruler's method of fooling the people, creating a mysterious fear and making the people submit."

As Professor Chen said, he left the window, leaving behind an anxious Xiao Ran who didn't know what to say.

If I had known earlier, it would be better not to bring so much water, anyone suffering from dehydration would make them a little more anxious, and hurry up to find the Queen's Underground Palace near the water source.

Shirley Yang saw Xiao Ran's anxious face, and walked to the window to take a closer look, and then took a look through the binoculars, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Professor Chen was still pulling Hu Bayi to overlook the entire Jingjue ancient city, Shirley Yang walked up to them and interrupted: "Professor Chen, you said before that the ghost cave people come from underground, so they will build the most important buildings in the It is underground, and Queen Jingjue will definitely make her residence as close as possible to the underground water source. Just now Xiao Ran found a door half buried in the sand, which may be the entrance to the queen's palace."

Hearing what Shirley Yang said, Professor Chen withdrew from his own world, took a telescope and looked in the direction Xiao Ran pointed, and indeed saw a black stone door half sunk in the sand.

"Hey! I'm an old nerd, I lost my mind when I saw this. Mr. Hao, write this down, let's go to that door to see."

Xiao Ran hastily snatched the notebook from Sa Dipeng, and quickly recorded the findings in the stone pagoda. Shirley Yang also snapped photos, asking everyone to make a rough record first, and then go back and compare the photos before sorting them out in detail.

The group finally left the stone tower and headed towards the largest ruin.
