Bury pointed to a map with fresh handwriting and whispered: "Look, everyone, this is the place we have explored in the past six days. I have used charcoal to outline the general situation based on the original map. Outlined.”
Ryan and others nodded. In the past six days, the six arrow mercenary groups encountered at least more than twenty gargoyles, and Daphne and Tedain also disarmed more than fifty traps. But the place that the Six Arrows Mercenary Group had already explored was just a corner of the entire tomb on the map drawn by Berry. Everyone was secretly worried. If each stone chamber had multiple exits like those that had been explored before, then it would take quite a long time to explore the entire tomb.
In the past six days, Ryan has shown great strength. Although he has kept a low profile, the gap in strength has still made Burry and others change their previous impression of him. The current Six Arrows Mercenary Group, although Burry Although he is still the nominal leader of this team, Ryan has unknowingly become the core figure of the entire mercenary group.
Sometimes, Ryan's casual words are enough to make the regiment leader Bury change the planned plan. For example, three days ago, the Six Arrows mercenary regiment encountered five gargoyles in a stone room. Bury Worried about being outnumbered, he gave the order to retreat. His original plan was to attract the gargoyles one by one and kill them. This was originally a sound plan, but Ryan casually said: "Don't have to go to so much trouble, right?"
So, under the surprised eyes of others, Ryan and Allen took more action. Allendo lured the enemy in front, attracting the five gargoyles together, and then Ryan greeted them with a scorching fireball. With Allendo's agile skills and Ryan's exquisite magic control, in just a few breaths, the five gargoyles turned into five piles of lifeless rubble, while he was unscathed.
In Tedain's words: "This is a great victory." At a young age, he finally understood why magicians have countless privileges and why hiring a magician costs a lot. Daphne, who was initially biased against Ryan, fell into a deep silence. She never said a word except for a brief conversation with Tedion when dealing with the trap.
Of course, Bury knew that Daphne regretted deeply and should not have offended a powerful magician, but now it was too late to regret. However, Bury had been observing Ryan for several days, and he found that Ryan did not seem to take that matter to heart. , so the well-informed Bury admired Ryan even more, not only Ryan's superior strength, but also Ryan's good cultivation, which is the most rare thing.
In order to win over Ryan, and at the same time for better exploration, from that incident on, Berry would ask Ryan's opinion in advance no matter what he did or what kind of order he issued.
"Mage Ryan, most of our time is now spent on searching for traps. At this rate, it will take at least twenty days to complete the main passage here."
Ryan nodded again. This is all true. There is nothing to say.
"But," Berry helplessly pointed to everyone's backpacks and said to Ryan, "our supplies are not enough. We underestimated the size of the tomb this time and only prepared food for ten days. Today is the seventh day God, if we cannot find a passage to the main tomb in these false tombs within three days, we must leave. For safety reasons, we must set aside at least one day of food, otherwise we will be in a dilemma... "
"Found another one!" Tedion's voice came from the front. It should be that Daphne found a new trap.
Everyone immediately stopped talking and focused on Daphne and Tedain in front.
I saw Daphne whispering a few words in Tedain's ear. The latter immediately took off his backpack, rummaged through it for a while, and took out a circle of dark chains about the thickness of a finger.
Judging from Tedion's difficulty in holding it, Ryan estimated that the dark chain was probably made of pure iron. Since the iron chain was in a circle, Ryan didn't know its approximate length, but he estimated that it was made of pure iron. It also looks like ten meters.
Tedain placed the circle of iron chains on the ground and slowly opened them. Only then did Ryan discover that one end of the circle of iron chains was a triangular handle, and the other end was an iron ball the size of an adult's fist.
Daphne saw Tedion take out this thing, pointed forward, and then whispered to Tedion the approximate location of the traps. After doing all this, Daphne immediately retreated quickly and came to Berry and others behind. Standing position.
After Tedion waited for Daphne to leave, he slowly picked up the iron ball with the chain. Tedion first slowly turned the iron ball, and then gradually accelerated it. The iron ball turned faster and faster, making a whistling sound that spread far in the empty corridor.
When the speed of the hammer was almost spinning, Tedion suddenly released his fingers holding the hammer. The hammer lost the restraint of Tedion and drew an arc in the air, driving the dark iron chain towards the front. Rushed out.
"Bang!" The hammer hit the ground with a harsh impact, then bounced up and hit a place not far ahead. It slid for about half a meter before stopping.
Along with the sound of the iron hammer hitting the ground, the walls on both sides of the corridor made a sound of mechanical rotation. Before everyone could react, the walls on both sides of the corridor suddenly shot out dense arrows like a heavy rain. The legend of "seize, seize, seize" Into everyone's ears, the place where the hammer landed was immediately covered with dense bows and arrows, forming a "forest of feathers and arrows".
This incident caused Tedion, who was closest to the iron ball, to break out in a cold sweat. This was the first time for the Six Arrows mercenary group to encounter such a large mechanical trap during this exploration. In comparison, the small traps they had disarmed before, which could be set by one person, were insignificant.
Tedion took a few deep breaths, and the humid and rotten air in the corridor became so beautiful. If Daphne hadn't detected this large mechanical trap in advance, she would have turned into a hedgehog as soon as she stepped on it. With such a short distance, such a fast launch speed, and such a dense coverage, Tedion believed that almost no one would be able to react and dodge in time, and they would definitely die.
