The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 834 Magical Mercury

The words are divided into two parts, one for each table.

Lin Tianci and Petra got into the cave one after the other. As they went deeper, the concentration of the surrounding ghost energy also increased, and soon exceeded the warning line that was harmful to living people. Feeling the danger, Fu Jue operated on its own, making Lin Tianci look like a human-shaped light bulb emitting a bright light, and with the dancing light technique surrounded by two people, it was not too dim.

The cave itself was not particularly deep. When the two of them advanced about ten meters, there was a turning point ahead.

After crossing this bend, a small circular space came into view. In terms of depth, it felt that this cave was similar to the caves occupied by wild beasts such as bears and wolves.

But it may be that they triggered some mechanisms when they came in, and the floor in front of them collapsed and sank neatly and regularly, forming a spiral downward staircase.

Lin Tianci walked over to take a photo with the dancing light technique, and then scanned both sides with the divine sense technique and the scouting talisman. After confirming that there was no danger, he took the lead and went down first.

From the perspective of the concentration of ghost gas, and Petra said that this may be the real tomb of the tyrant Nemesis, there is probably a very powerful ghost in the depths of the cave, at least about the fifth rank.

If it was before crossing the catastrophe, Lin Tianci really wasn't sure about the one-on-one duel. After all, the surrounding environment made it impossible to use the big move of the red lotus robbery at will, and Petra is a player who is good at defending but not good at attacking, so he can't help at all.

However, Lin Tianci is already in the fifth rank of the human rank. With his ability, even the ghosts up to the third rank of the human rank will have a fight.

This is good news, but the bad news is that the girl Petra always stops when she is walking, studying the stone carvings or patterns near the stairs.

After all, I am a historian by profession, and every scratch here can be preserved as a cultural relic, and Petra inevitably has some occupational diseases.

So Brother Lin had to use spells to explore the front to ensure safety, and at the same time look at Petra like Erha, lest the girl run away by herself.

Fortunately, the stairs are not too long, and of course, they are not too short either.

The two remained vigilant and walked cautiously all the way for about 3 minutes before the stairs came to the end.

Let the Dancing Light technique go to the front to illuminate. This time, what appeared in front of us was a square hall, about [-] square meters. The floor was full of exquisite but decayed stone carvings over time.

When the light ball of the dancing light technique hung in the center of the hall, a layer of green phosphorescence suddenly lit up on the walls around the hall, illuminating the surroundings with greenery, and at the same time adding a weird atmosphere to the underground cave.

"That's Phosphorous Fire, a small spell with extremely low consumption and easy to enchant, but the lighting effect is not good."

Sai Li's explanation was as timely as ever, but compared to these small details, the most troublesome thing for Brother Lin is the connection to the square hall. There are nine roads leading to different directions, three from the left, three from the right, and three from the front. way to arrange.

Observing from his current position, he can't see where these roads lead, because without exception, these nine roads all turn around shortly after entering.

So Lin Tianci looked at Petra who was lying on the ground studying the stone carvings on the floor:

"Where are you going now?"

"Did you see the stone carving on the floor! This is the life of the tyrant Nemesis!"

Petra didn't answer any questions at all, and took out a small brush from her bag to brush off the dust:

"Wait, let me make a rubbing first."

"Sister, do you still remember that there is a time limit for us to come in!"

The treasure will only be opened when the red moon rises. Conversely, when the red moon disappears, the entrance to the treasure will be blocked again.

In that case, you can only try the Flying Escape Talisman, because there is no guarantee that the space beacon jointly produced by Duobaozong and Xuanyunzong will be useful. Zhang Baixi gave Brother Lin two extra Flying Escape Talismans as insurance this time. , It’s okay to want to go out, but it’s better not to use it.

Only then did Petra wake up, and it was a pity to look at the stone carving on the ground again and said:

"In the culture of the old empire, the square represents the sky, the circle represents the earth, and the triangle represents the mountains. The first formal room after entering is a square, which is to pay homage to the god of the sky..."

"You'd better get to the point."

Petra is indeed very similar to Celie, for example, when popularizing science, I always forget to mention the key points.

"Simply put, it doesn't matter if you take any of these nine roads. Nemesis thinks highly of himself. He thinks he is the absolute overlord of the mortal world. No matter which road he takes, he will eventually kneel before him. If If this place is really his mausoleum, it will definitely be set up like this."

Since any road is optional, there is no need for Lin Tianci to write ink at the door. He scanned a few openings with divine thoughts, randomly picked one that was pleasing to the eye, and dragged Petra into it.

Pulling is very necessary, because this girl doesn't want to leave...

Compared with the previous natural caves, this time the passage has obvious traces of man-made repairs. Although the surrounding stone bricks or decorative stone carvings have fallen off, the tunnel itself is still strong, and there is no fucking landslide.

However, when they walked into the doorway less than ten meters away, Lin Tianci heard the sound of stones rubbing against each other from behind, and when he turned his head, he saw the thick stone slabs fall down, knocking them into the doorway with a bang. It's blocked.

Originally, little brother Lin planned to make a mark or something, so that if he went the wrong way, he could go back the same way. This is great, don't think about going back the same way.

He knocked on the fallen stone slab, and judging from the feel of it, it was a whole piece of black rock after more than a foot.

Sally said:
"Go ahead, that's obsidian, even if you use a powerful spell bombardment, it's impossible to blow it up, unless your physical strength is strong enough."

Obsidian is generally used by mages as a target for practicing spells. Because it has strong resistance to magic, it is durable enough to be a target.

"This is like a treasure hunt, we are trapped!"

I don't know what happened to this girl Petra, but she is a little... happy to be blocked?

The maze is the setting with the highest appearance rate in all kinds of adventure works, and it is also the favorite setting of the ancient elves.

But this is not just a problem with the ancient elves, but the maze is the most practical. Even the monks' caves in Eastern China have many mazes, especially when used in combination with the ecstasy array, the effect is doubled.

However, compared to the relatively high-end mazes of the ancient elves and monks, the one that Brother Lin and the others came in is very low.

The route can only be said to be simple and complicated, even though there are traps, it can't pose any threat to Lin Tianci at all.

After all, the builders of this labyrinth were not ancient elves, but humans.

During the period of the old empire, they did research the skill of magic, but it was far from being comparable to the ancient elves. There were very few parts applied to the maze, and the traps were basically pure mechanical traps.

At least 3000 years have passed, and it is conceivable how much a purely mechanical trap without magic protection can still be used. It should be considered a miracle that the stairs they encountered when they came down can still be used.

The maze itself is relatively low, and Lin Tianci, as a monk, has a much better sense of direction and memory than ordinary people. They basically didn't spend much effort and walked out of it in less than half an hour.

But this time, they came to a rather wide place.

With the dancing light technique, it can be seen that this is a circular underground space, or called an underground palace.

The ceiling is about 20 meters from the ground, and is supported by thick stone pillars. The entire palace is circular, with an area of ​​nearly a thousand square meters.

But compared to pure stone buildings, the liquid placed in the center of the palace should be the most concerned.

It was a kind of silver, similar to mercury, because it was completely opaque, and it was impossible to see how deep the liquid was, but the area was indeed very large. It was like a large irregularly shaped pond, covering the entire palace. Divided into two, there is a square hole less than one meter high on the left and right side respectively, like a water outlet and a water inlet. This kind of mercury-like liquid flows in and out through these two holes.

It's still the old rule, ask Celie if you don't understand something.

The latter glanced at it and said:
"That's magic mercury. It's different from ordinary mercury. It's an extremely important medium in alchemy. It responds to magic power. Some alchemists can generate gold through magic mercury and iron. Of course, this method is extremely wasteful. Because the value of magic mercury is much more valuable than gold."

In short, the value of the constantly flowing magic mercury in front of him is already incomparably rich. Normally, magic mercury is sold by the milliliter.

Petra tapped her temple and said:

"According to the ancient records I found in the university, the tomb of the tyrant Nemesis has a magical ocean of mercury and a mountain of pure gold, which is literally a sea of ​​gold and silver."

Brother Lin complained as soon as he heard it:
"Where did this come from another world, Qin Shihuang? Are there tens of thousands of 1:1 figures?"

"Who is Qin Shihuang?"

"What is a figure?"

Petra cared about which era Emperor Qin Shihuang was, but Saili had never heard of the word "figure"...

Damn, it feels so troublesome to explain.

So he said:

"do not mind the details."

Petra really didn't care about these details. As for Saili, she would probably record the word "handy" in a small book and ask when she had time.

"Is this magic mercury poisonous?"

"It's not poisonous, but they will react with magic power. You should be more careful when you think about it."

Sally said again:

"The volume of magic mercury here is too large, they obscured my exploration."

Whether there is any danger, there is really no way to find out too clearly, because even if Lin Tianci uses divine thoughts and scouting talismans, something will come, but how to get there is indeed a problem.

From the place where Lin Tianci and the others were standing, there was a door opening on the other side of the pond where the magic mercury could be seen, but the narrowest part of the pond was more than ten meters wide. Brother Lin could cross it with one lift, but Pate It won't work if you pull it.
