There are too many specimens collected in this cave. Almost all the biological races that can be imagined are displayed here. The heart is full of shock, surprise, and a little bit of anger and sadness. I was stunned, and just subconsciously walked down one row after another.
In addition to the dragons, in the back, Char also saw the elves, dwarves, and even the legendary giants, as well as many strange creatures that Char had never even heard of before.
I don't know the ancient goblins, those powerful and intelligent races, what kind of ability they have, to actually preserve so many and all the specimens so well, so long years, but they have never been corrupted at all, that transparent cover, Apparently it has some kind of miraculous effect.
With mixed emotions, time passed quickly, but in this huge crypt, Xia Ya and others only saw less than one-third of the exhibits.
Finally, when Xia Ya was still blind, the witch doctor suddenly spoke in a deep voice.
"enough!!"
"??" Xia turned her head and looked at the witch doctor.
The witch doctor of the Zaku tribe was clearly still awake, her eyes flashing coldly behind the grimace: "I said, enough, don't look any further."
Then she snorted: "Time! We have no time, an hour is almost here."
As soon as he said this, he immediately reminded Xia Ya. He immediately remembered the most important things. He immediately summoned the other Zaku warriors. Obviously, the emotions of these Zaku warriors were also a little out of tune, but under the majesty of Zaku, these Zaku warriors soon gathered together. .
The witch doctor asked around for a while, then shook her head at Xi Ya: "They found nothing else."
"Okay, let's forget about these things here, the most important thing is, where did Galin and the others go." Xiaya looked at Dodo Luohe and said, "If Galin and the others have also been to this place, maybe they …”
After a while, he shook his head firmly: "Galin has never been here before."
"How can you be sure?"
The witch doctor's tone was cold: "I know him, he will leave a mark, he will definitely."
Xiaya thought about it for a while, that Galin seems to be a very shrewd guy. If he gets lost with everyone, as the witch doctor said, he will definitely find a way to return to meet everyone. If he can't meet, He will also leave a mark.
But in this cave, everyone has been looking at it for so long, but they haven't found any marks, so...
"Moreover, if they have been here, I think anyone who sees these things here will be shocked and will waste more time here." This is the opinion put forward by Dodoro.
This detail reminded Xiaya that Galin and the others disappeared in that strange small room, but it only took a moment, and his group soon chased in. Under normal circumstances, if Galin and the others also came to this place where so many specimens were stored, their normal reactions would definitely be the same as theirs just now.
"The time doesn't match." Xia Ya sighed, he hesitated for a while, and made a decision: "Let's leave a mark at this door, and then continue to walk in to see if there are other exits here. From now on At the beginning, we left marks along the way, this ghost place is too weird, if they can see our marks, it would be better."
But Xia Ya was disappointed. This underground cave obviously has only one entrance and exit, the one they came in just now. It took everyone a long time to go around here, and finally returned to the high platform where everyone came in.
"There is no other entrance and exit, go back." Xia Ya's expression became more and more solemn.
Galin and the others obviously came in from the scale of "Red Moon", but why didn't they meet him
The door on the table was closed, and there was no control knob or the like that would open the door. Obviously, this peculiar door cannot be opened from the inside. So everyone can only wait here for a while. Because according to the agreement, the two Zaku warriors left behind will open the door from the outside when the time is up.
Everyone patiently stood at the door and waited, and the time passed little by little. At this time, everyone's mood seems to be a little weird. There are so many "corpses" placed under this table, and various creatures, as if alive, stay in those strange transparent covers in various shapes.
"I feel like I'm in a big tomb." Dodoro tried to ease the atmosphere, but his joke was really bad, and he said this, but it only attracted a blank eye from Xia Ya.
Everyone waited and waited, but the door was not opened for a long time, and Xia Ya's expression became more and more ugly.
"How long has it been?" He looked at the witch doctor.
The witch doctor's tone was still calm, but what she said made Xia Ya's heart sink.
"I don't know... But, for sure, it's been more than an hour."
"Why don't the people outside open the door yet?" Xia Ya was a little anxious.
I didn't answer his question, just looked at Xia coldly. Xiaya smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you such a boring question. It's just... "
He fumbled around the door for a while, but he was soon disappointed. Obviously, the texture of this door is the same as the one outside, and it is also an extremely hard "iron essence", and it is impossible to open it violently.
The longer you wait, the more restless everyone becomes!
This ghost place has no exits around, if this door can't be opened... Then wouldn't everyone be trapped here? !
Thinking of being trapped here and being in the company of the "specimen" who were locked in the hood below, everyone's expressions were a little ugly.
Just when Xia Ya was impatient, "Master..." Duodoro hesitated for a while, he looked at Xia Ya, hesitant to say: "I..."
"What's wrong?"
"Can I..." Dodo Luo sighed: "Can I take some of these 'specimens'? Many things here are valuable materials for research, especially those dragon specimens, which are any magic Teachers will dream of it... Anyway, we are here waiting for people outside to open the door, and we are idle here. Why don't we do something, I will go and see if I can open those hoods, and then... "
Xia Ya immediately dispelled Dodo Luo's idea coldly: "You have seen how big those dragon specimens are, and you think that with a few of us, you can move out... Ah! No!!"
As soon as he said this, Xia Ya's face suddenly changed, and she suddenly became agitated, as if she had remembered something, she stared at Dodo Luo with wide eyes, full of surprise, and even pressed Dodo Luo's shoulder hard and shook it a few times: " God! Todoro, you are a genius! You reminded me of an important thing!!"
Xiaya's expression was excited, he looked at the witch doctor next to him: "Look, the room we entered just now, how big is the entrance? But it's only three or four meters high, and the door is so small! Just let people of our size come in and out. So... You see, there are so many giant specimens here, those huge dragons, and giants... How did these things come in? Obviously, it can't be from us The door that goes in and out! So, there must be other entrances and exits here!"
As soon as these words were said, the witch doctor's eyes also lit up obviously. Before Xia Ya could speak again, the witch doctor suddenly jumped off the platform. The platform that was more than two meters high floated away with a single jump. Going down, the posture is light and vigorous, it is obvious that this witch doctor is not only good at witchcraft.
She moved very fast, jumping several meters away in a few steps, and coldly threw a sentence: "Follow me!"
This time Xia Ya didn't hesitate, he immediately chased after him.
Following this, the group ran back into the cave, and ran deep into the rows of display specimens.
The overall terrain of this cave is a circle, and right in the middle of the cave, there is an open space. This open space is about 50 meters wide, and the size is similar to a martial arts field.
This place is not empty, but along a circular area with a diameter of about 50 meters, there is a stone tower on the surrounding ground, but if you touch it carefully, you will find that these things are not ordinary Stone, but some kind of unknown spar.
"I have a few questions, but I didn't figure it out just now." She quickly ran to this place and stopped, she turned to look at Xiaya, she explained: "This place, we have seen it just now, I think , this is a hub controlled by magic, but I was wrong just now, I thought it was a magic circle that maintains lighting and ventilation."
Her Byzantine language is too bad, but with the gestures, it took a lot of effort for Xiaya to finally understand the meaning of the other party. Then he nodded: "I think so too... We don't have a problem with breathing here, obviously there must be some kind of ventilation here, and these things with lights on the top of the head, it's not as simple as ordinary gems. , I heard that although some stones naturally emit light, they have long lost their effect after 10,000 years. If this place is always lit, then there must be some magic circle at work."
He looked at the circular area in front of him. If there is a magic circle in this cave, then only the place in front of him seems to be the only possibility.
And... if there must be another way in and out, this is the only suspicious place!
However, the witch doctor said something that frustrates Xi Ya: "The magic circle, I don't understand."
Xia Ya immediately looked back at Dotara, but the half-toned magician spread his hands and made a helpless expression.
Fortunately, Char has a helper who can be counted on—Dora's voice came from her mind, "Char, go to the middle of this circle and let me take a closer look."
Xia Ya saved a little bit of hope, and according to Dora's instructions, a person ran to the middle of the circle, and then walked around to look around, circled twice, and stopped from time to time to grope around.
The people outside looked curious. Duo Luo wanted to come over several times, but he was sternly stopped by Xia Ya: "Don't enter the circle! Stay outside!"
After a while, Xia Ya stopped and whispered, "How is it?"
"See a little way." Dora's answer in his mind made Xi Ya's heart suddenly relax, "This magic circle seems to have some traces of elf magic culture, it seems that these ancient goblins are really not good at magic, but they do know. Learning, they learned the magic culture of the elves. However, I am not very sure about unlocking this magic circle. Well, there is another problem, that is, the problem of motivation. This magic circle has been around for a long time, and it takes a long time to open it. A lot of magic…”
Xia frowned: "I don't think the magic power of this magic circle should be a problem, right? Look at the lighting here, those glowing places on the top of your head... "
"The magic power of any magic circle is not infinite!" Dora mocked Xi Ya coldly: "In my opinion, the reason why this magic circle has existed until now is not because it has infinite magic power, but It's... Hmph, dull fellow, didn't you realize that the light here has been weakening little by little after so long since we walked in here!"
After listening to Dora's reminder, Xiaya really noticed this detail.
Indeed, since walking in, until now, it seems that the brightness of the light here is indeed dimmer than it was at the earliest.
It turned out that he didn't notice this detail, because the degree of light attenuation was not much, and, in such a secluded place, he only regarded it as a psychological effect, and didn't care too much.
"So, this magic circle is not infinite, but... Maybe the ancient goblins have superb technology, and they have a way to save magic power, that is to say, the lighting here will only automatically light up when someone enters, and Usually it is dormant. So... When we came in, we actually used the 'survival' magic power. Even if the ancient goblins had the most superb technology to preserve magic power, after so long, the magic power itself It will also pass. So, I guess the magic power storage in this magic circle is probably very weak, I am worried... "
"There's nothing to worry about, if you don't try, everyone will be trapped here." Xi Ya frowned: "Also, if your guess is correct, the operation of this place relies on the remaining magic power to maintain the lighting... Then I am afraid that when the magic power is exhausted, we will not even have the light to illuminate! The most terrifying thing is that if the ventilation channels here are also maintained by the magic circle... Then once the magic circle fails, we will even have problems breathing."
Char decided to give it a try.
According to Dora's instructions, the operation of these magic circles should not be complicated. Because you must know that the ancient goblins are a race that does not know magic. The goblins themselves have learned magical culture and magic skills, and can even create terrifying weapons like magic cannons, but the goblins themselves do not have magic. Ability, no magician exists.
Then the advantage is that the goblin's magic circle does not necessarily need a magician to control it. The magic circle created by goblins can be completely controlled by ordinary people.
"They draw on the natural magic of the elves, which is a fusion of the magic seeds in nature and the magic that is attached to various magic ores. It sounds complicated, but the specific operation is extremely simple... "
At this moment, people outside the circle didn't know what Xia Ya was tinkering with inside, and they saw Xia Ya running around, constantly groping back and forth on those stone dunes, and even pushed a few stone dunes to move their positions in the end. .
It was confirmed after Xia Ya pushed it. These spar stones seem to be inlaid on the ground and connected to the floor, but in fact, the floor in this place is movable. After a push, the whole floor will be like a building block. activity.
Dotolo's eyes widened, watching Xia busy back and forth inside, and finally changed the positions of those spar many times...
Suddenly, everyone heard a slight shaking from the ground under their feet, and then they heard the sound of the slate turning. With this circle as the center, the floor on the ground suddenly moved automatically, piece by piece, some Folded up, some moved, and the spar on the top also swayed slowly, after a few laps along some specific trajectories...
On the ceiling above, the brightness of those glowing gems quickly diminished, but in this circular magic circle, a gap suddenly cracked on the floor! More and more floors retreated to both sides, and the stones below floated little by little, just like the tide, retreating back layer by layer...
Finally, the zone of this circle, the ground completely disappeared! A huge underground entrance dozens of meters wide appeared in front of everyone!
This is a tens of meters wide steps appearing in front of everyone, all the way down, the bottom is dark, and I don't know where it leads...
"Obviously, this should be the transportation port." Xi Ya stood on the periphery of the circle, but frowned: "The goblins who built this place must have brought in those large specimens through such a large transportation port, but... why? Is this passage going all the way down?"
"Master..." Duoduo stammered, "I think it's pitch-black underneath, it seems that something is wrong!"
"Shut up, if you yell again, I'll let you go first." Xia snorted, but after all, he jumped down the steps first and walked in front of everyone.
※※※
This giant step is wide enough, let alone people pass from here, even two dragons are parallel enough. It's just that this time he went all the way down, but he walked for a long time. According to Xiaya's feeling, he went deeper into the ground for at least tens of meters, and the steps finally came to an end, and the terrain became flat again.
There was a sound of Kaka coming from the top behind him, and the magic circle at the entrance of the stairs apparently finally exhausted its magic power and slowly closed.
"These ancient goblins really know how to punch holes." Xia Ya smiled bitterly.
After a word of silence, she lit up the light on her staff, illuminating the way forward for everyone.
When the steps come to an end, there is a wide road in front of you, such a passage tens of meters wide. Walking in it, everyone gathers and looks around... One huge pillar stands here, each one The pillars are two or three meters in diameter, supporting the underground passage. Those pillars have passed thousands of years, many of them have been rotten and weathered, and some have collapsed. Walking all the way, even if people accidentally make some noise when they walk by, they will make the pillars next to them poof. Pu Shuosuo dropped a lot of weathered and rotten stone chips!
"Damn, these pillars are probably all rotten! We'd better get through here quickly... If this place collapses, everyone is ready to be buried alive in this ghost place!"
Xia Ya looked at the crumbling guys around, and felt a little chill in her heart.
Everyone was also nervous, and stepped forward to hurry forward.
Fortunately, this huge passage is not too long, only more than 200 meters. When it came to the end, everyone was stunned.
Because at the end, there is another huge door!
When he saw the outline of the door, Xia Ya's heart almost lit up, but when he saw it clearly, he suddenly let out a "Yi", his face full of surprise.
This is indeed a door, and from the color and texture, the texture of this door is obviously something like "iron essence"! If it is closed, then it goes without saying that everyone has absolutely no ability to open the door! If that's the case... I'm afraid everyone really has to wait here to die.
But the problem is, when I walked to the door... the door was actually open!
To be precise, it opened a gap!
The gap opened is not large, but it is just enough for a person to drill into it!
The scene in front of me is: I don't know why, after the door was opened, probably before the door closed automatically, someone stuck something in the gap of the door! !
An oval-shaped thing got stuck in the gap of the door and pushed the door open! Xiaya recognized it immediately, it seemed to be a shield!
The color is dark, and at the same time it has a strange luster. The shape of the shield is a very plopped oval, but the face of a roaring beast is carved on it.
The texture of this shield is not unfamiliar to Xiaya. At a glance, it can be seen that this is a shield made of "iron essence"! Then you can be sure that this shield is definitely not a contemporary thing! Because these days, iron essence is extremely rare, and there is no warrior strongman on the mainland who can luxuriously use iron essence to make a shield!
But fortunately, this iron shield is hard enough to get stuck in the crack of the door.
Everyone stayed for a while, but Xia Ya was the first to react. He first ordered everyone to turn over through the gap and carefully not to touch the shield.
After everyone entered the door, Xia Ya thought seriously.
"Here... someone has been here." Xia took a deep breath: "Otherwise, this shield wouldn't have come to this place by itself."
