The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 1236 Secret Road (4)

On the other side, Lin Tianci looked at the ceiling in fear, and there was a muffled bang bang in his ears. The movement seemed to shake the ceiling down at any time, and the dust kept falling down.

This is definitely not an earthquake caused by natural factors, because the sound is too regular, it will come every few seconds, and judging from the direction of sound propagation, it feels more like a vibration from the surface.

Fortunately, the ceiling was very strong and did not completely collapse, and the muffled sound of the tom also disappeared completely after about 5 minutes.

This made Lin Tianci feel very relieved. He managed to get around the disgusting area made up of echinoderms and centipedes. He was about to reach the exit of the secret passage. If the ceiling falls, all previous efforts will be wasted. Otherwise, he will still need to take a test Only by escaping from the vulgar talisman can we go out.

Petra didn't panic. Once the girl reached the stage of exploration and adventure, she was unexpectedly foolish and bold. She also said with great interest:

"Listen to the sound, it should be Xia Ni's lava element, that bean sprouts (Listia) can't sit still at last."

It's as if Listia knows Petra very well, and it's the same in reverse. No matter how you think about it, it's impossible to be Professor Aaron who has studied history all his life.

"Then let's hold on tight, I'm afraid I'll be buried in it if I do it again."

"Don't worry, although the bean sprouts are underdeveloped, she still has enough brains. She shouldn't continue to make such a big commotion in the ruins."

Having said that, Lin Tianci still felt that it would be safer to go out through the secret passage first, because the inside was too narrow, and there was no place to hide if it collapsed.

"Speaking of which, the purpose of that bean sprouts suddenly coming to the territory directly instead of nestling in its own territory is a bit strange. I don't think she is some kind of guy who likes to join in the fun."

While walking towards the exit, Petra said again:
"Since graduating, she has returned to her hometown to become a countess. There are a lot of things waiting to be dealt with in the territory. If it is to satisfy her interest... it is not worth traveling so far."

As a manager of a territory, of course, it is impossible to do everything according to one's temper. This is the difference between having a family and a job and being alone.

Saying so...

"Are there still many treasures buried in King Quan?"

The subject of having babies caught Sally's attention:

"Of course, according to the records of our blue goblin, the tyrant Nemesis looted a lot of treasures, including purely symbolic holy objects, famous works of art, and powerful magic items .”

Everything else is fine, the manufacture of magic items is closely related to the development of magic technology.During the period of the tyrant Nemesis, although the magic technology of the Lost Land was not bad, it was still not as good as it is now, and it was impossible to artificially create high-level magic items.

Therefore, what the tyrant Nemesis plundered was the same natural product as the source water sword on Brother Lin's wrist, which is roughly equivalent to the innate spiritual treasure that monks often say.

"I didn't see many magic items in Nemesis's treasure last time. Those items were very valuable, and they disappeared without a trace after the destruction of the old empire. Since they were not used as funeral objects, it is indeed possible. Stay on King Quan."

Like Brother Lin's luck, his treasure hunting luck is also quite awesome, and being able to bring back fragments every time is also a manifestation of good treasure hunting luck.

While talking, they walked through the last secret passage and came to the exit.

The exit was sealed by a stone slab. Lin Tianci tried several times but failed to push it open, so he had to smash it with force.

The light ball of the Dancing Light Technique drilled out of the hole first, and followed along the narrow stairs, followed by Lin Tianci and Petra.

Petra glanced around and muttered:

"That's not great..."

Because Quan Wang Xing is a huge building complex, secret passages can be used to shuttle between many buildings, so the road north between buildings can be buried by sand.

But the place where Lin Tianci and the others came out felt almost like a dead end.

What appeared in front of them was a room of about [-] square meters. It originally looked like a restaurant or a meeting room. .

The wall on the left side has collapsed, and a large amount of sand has occupied more than half of the room, and there is no way to see the exit just by visual inspection.

"Turn back and look for other secret passages?"

When Lin Tianci heard this, he remembered the place full of centipedes they passed through when they came. The feeling of standing on tiptoes for fear of stepping on them and fearing that centipedes would crawl onto him was really ridiculous.

But for now, there is no other way.

"Wait, godsend you, there is an exit buried under the sand dunes in front of you, and it shouldn't be buried too deep by the sand."

Compared with observing with the naked eye, spell detection is more reliable.

Lin Tianci's divine sense and detection talisman are mechanisms similar to echolocation. It cannot be said that it is not good enough, but this kind of spell still has certain limitations.

And Saili can use a variety of exploration spells that enhance vision, and she can even see through.

According to Sally's guidance, Lin Tianci walked over on the soft sand and used his hands to push away the sand layer near the wall. After a while, a door frame with obvious artificial traces was revealed, and as Sally said, the sand was not The exit was not blocked too tightly, and a few diggings revealed a hole that could be drilled through.

Lin Tianci first threw one of the light balls of the Dancing Light Technique over, and then followed suit.

Behind the door, a corridor stretching for an unknown distance appeared in front of them, but compared to the part they walked through, the preservation of this corridor was hard to say even if it was a compliment.

The walls fell off and collapsed more seriously. The originally nearly three-meter-wide corridor has now become uneven due to the invasion of sand, and there are large and small sand piles everywhere.

"Pull...Pull me, I'm stuck!"

Lin Tianci turned his head and saw that Petra was not too big, but it was obviously large enough to compact the sand below the hole, making it impossible to get out.

After trying several times, she couldn't advance or retreat. Petra simply gave up and waited for Lin Tianci to dig out the sand below to expand some holes.

Even she was very leisurely complaining:
"If it was replaced by the bean sprouts, it would definitely come through without any problems."

Lin Tianci estimated that Listia should be sneezing wildly at this time.

But what Petra said was also true.

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

It took a few more minutes to dig out the sand before finally pulling Petra out, but during this process, Petra chatted to Lin Tianci a lot of things when they went to school together, which was equivalent to letting Lin Tianci I heard a lot about the dark history of Listia...

Let's not talk about this first, let's move on.

The preservation of this corridor is not as good as before. It feels that after a while, the corridor is likely to be unable to support the sand layer above and be completely buried.

Just because it looked too precarious, Lin Tianci didn't dare to stay here for long, and walked forward as fast as he could while scanning the front for traps and the like with scouting talismans and divine thoughts.

During the period, they found a well-preserved wooden gate. They thought they would be able to see a vault after opening it as before, but it turned out that there were a bunch of dead people inside.

To be precise, there are only a bunch of skeletons left now. When they died, they should still be sitting on chairs, with many rotting wood fragments under their bodies, surrounding the central table, and it is not known whether they were in a meeting or a dinner party.

Along the way, Lin Tianci and the others have seen many traces of skeletons. These people seem to have died in an instant, and they didn't even know that they were dead, and they still maintained the posture they had before they were alive.

Lin Tianci only heard about the destruction of the sphere, but this time he saw with his own eyes the weapon-making ability of the ancient elves. It would instantly kill all life within its range, and even the land would be killed, turning it into a piece of land. barren desert.

And because of the negative energy, when the two living people Lin Tianci and Petra opened the door, the eyes of the skeletons on the ground lit up with blue and white undead flames, and they crawled from the ground with a chilling crackling sound. stand up……

Then it was completely purified by the Fire Spirit Curse.

After all, it is a bone with no combat power, so there is no need to use any big moves.

In addition to cleaning up a group of skeletons, Lin Tianci and Petra also encountered many traps, some of which were only half activated because of the collapse of the corridor, and some were not affected by it.

But generally speaking, Lin Tianci can detect all these mechanical traps with scouting talismans, and Saili can also detect the few that cannot be found.

So the trouble that the trap brought to them was only seriously slowing down the speed of travel, far from being a threat.

He tapped the trigger mechanism not far away with his cane, and seeing that no more poisonous nails were shot out, Lin Tianci called Petra, who was studying the murals on the wall, to move on.

"Is it sick during the old empire? Why did you set up so many institutions?"

According to Saili and Petra, Quan Wangxing was a national-level research institution for the study of astrology and magic at that time, roughly equal to the level of the National Academy of Sciences.

This is not an ancient tomb of dignitaries, with so many traps set up, what if the staff inside are recruited?
"This is not a special case of Quan Wangxing. The ancient buildings left over from the old empire period also retain many traps and secret passages. As for the reasons, there are different opinions, and some believe that it is a unique custom in the period of the tyrant Nemesis It is said that assassinations became so frequent in his time that a large number of traps were required to deal with outsiders, and some scholars believe that this custom is equivalent to a tactic of the tyrant Nemesis, who would throw erring servants into traps As a punishment, it was also shown to others as a warning, and the nobles at that time also learned it well over time, but there is no definite evidence to support either statement."

I almost forgot that Petra, like Sally, once said her field of interest, it would be endless.

Just as he was talking, Lin Tianci tapped a floor tile not far in front of him with his cane, and the latter immediately fell off and fell down, leaving a big black hole on the floor...
