Conquest

Chapter 251: Hourglass timer?

Views:

Xia Ya just put on a stance of headless flies.

In this huge underground creation area, there are twists and turns, and Xiaya doesn't know the way anyway, so she just doesn't guess, she just closes her eyes and rushes in. The previous one, if you encounter a situation where there is no road, turn around and turn around again.

At the moment, his mentality is very good - anyway, I don't know the way, so I just walk around like this, it is God's blessing to be able to walk out of the way, even if I can't find a way out for a while, at least it is better than falling into the hands of that big snake Bar.

He rushes all the way, turns when he sees a fork in the road, and burrows in when he sees a passage. Even he himself is confused and doesn't know where he got into.

This underground cave is too huge - it took hundreds of years for the ancient goblins to build this god-creation area, and it is conceivable what a huge underground project this is. Although most of the passages have been closed, Xiaya has walked through many caves in such a random way, but most of the caves he walked through were abandoned, and nothing was found. The only thing that made him unsatisfied was that all the roads he passed, from the perspective of the terrain, went all the way down... Going like this, the distance from the ground was getting farther and farther.

After all, it is an ancient ruin, many passages have collapsed and damaged, and some gates have collapsed. On Xia Ya's road, he also encountered two gates with knobs. With the scales on them, he didn't know where they were going anyway, so he just turned around and ran in as soon as the gates opened. As for where to go— It's not something he can control.

However, after walking for a long time, I thought that the big snake should be getting farther and farther away, which made Xia Ya feel more at ease.

"Dora, you said, this place is so huge, there are many structures inside, and those gates are thick and strong. Those ancient goblins defended this place, but they were still broken..."

Dora sneered when she heard the words: "You have also read that diary. In the end, the goblin was blasted through the gate by the magic cannon made by himself. You have also seen the power of this magic cannon with your own eyes. What's so strange? It is the gate of the iron essence, and it cannot withstand the bombardment of the magic cannon."

Xia Ya shook his head: "It's not this question that I'm worried about, but... The purpose of this god creation area, you and I both understand, the diary clearly states that in the end, the goblins' god creation plan was successful... But that goblin Where is the God of Maker? Where is it? It's not still here, is it?"

Dora was silent for a while, as if she had thought about it, she did not agree with Xia Ya's guess: "This place has become Damandras's lair, if the god created by the goblin is still here, where is Damandra? What is Dras doing here? In this way, the god created by the ancient goblins seems to be no longer here."

Xia Ya listened, walked forward for a while, and suddenly said, "Dora, we seem to have been ignoring a problem."

"What did you think of again?"

Xia Ya sighed and said slowly, "This place is the God Creation Zone, right?"

"It should be right, the words on that sign are right."

"Well." Xia Ya nodded: "This God Creation Area, according to the records in that diary, is the place where the last force of the ancient goblins was guarded, right?"

"good."

"Then, it was also written in the diary. In the end, this place was broken by other races... isn't it?"

After Dora heard this, she was silent for a while: "What do you want to say?"

There was a strange light in Xia Ya's eyes: "Since this place was finally breached by other races, don't you think it's strange? Those places we saw before, those caves where specimens were stored, There are also forgings... and other caves... but they are so well preserved? This is the creation area of goblins! After other races broke through and occupied this place, they didn't demolish or loot this place? The warehouse is piled up like a mountain. Magic crystals, aren't they worth anything? There are also those magic cannons, weapons made of iron essence... If I were the racial coalition that broke through this place, I would definitely order all the things in this place to be swept away, and then put here Destroy it directly!"

Having said this, Xi Ya smiled, and his smile was even more eccentric: "Also, the most strange thing to me is the cave where the 'specimen' is stored. The human specimens I saw made me so emotional. Could it be that after the coalition forces of other races broke through this place, would they still be indifferent when they saw their 'similars' being made into specimens and placed there? Would they let those specimens continue to be placed there intact?"

Dora was quiet for a longer time this time, and after a while: "What do you want to say?"

Xia Ya said solemnly: "All the way, I don't feel like this place has been captured by other races at all!"

After Xia Ya said these words, the two of them were quiet for a while, and for a while, neither of them said a word. It seems that the atmosphere has become a little weird. As Xia Ya continued to walk forward, what he was walking on at the moment was a passage. Just now, when he passed a corner, there was a fork in the road. It was narrow, and the air gradually became cloudy, making it difficult to breathe.

Fortunately, there is still some light here. On the wall of this passage, there are several radiant gems inlaid every dozens of steps. After entering Dora's identification, these gems have the lighting magic of the magic circle. It will not be extinguished for thousands of years.

When the passage came to an end, a gate appeared in front of him again. This time, there was still a knob on the gate, and the scales such as "Red Moon, Queyue, Huoyue..." were on it.

Xiaya stood beside the knob and hesitated for a while: "How do we go this time?"

Dora did not answer immediately, but instead said in a hesitant tone: "Hey, Char, I suddenly remembered a possibility. There are so many magic circles here... Obviously, for those ancient goblins, magic circles are already very important. Popular and commonly used things. At least we have seen a lot of use of magic circles here. So, is there such a possibility: the entrances and exits to the outside world are not just those passages. Maybe there will be some teleportation Does a similar magic circle exist?"

Xia Ya thought about it seriously: "I have to say that this possibility is very high, but even if we encounter a teleportation magic circle, do you know how to open it? Let's wait until we find it."

Saying that, Xiaya reached out to the knob on the wall, closed his eyes and turned around randomly. After a clack of movement, the door in front of him slowly opened, and Xiaya walked in. As the door closed, the kind of The strong feeling of weightlessness and shaking came again. When the movement was over and the door reopened, a new cave appeared in front of him.

After Xia walked out the door, the door behind her closed quickly.

The area of this cave is still so huge, with a width of 100 meters. Originally, it was pitch black, but when Xi Ya walked in, there were several places above his head that radiated light in an instant, and dozens of gems on the ceiling began to emit soft light, illuminating the cave.

The furnishings in this cave are even more bizarre.

In the 100-meter-wide cave, there are more than ten rows of things like water tanks arranged vertically and horizontally. These sinks are all rectangular, neatly stacked in rows in the cave. Each sink is at least two meters wide, and the countertop is more than one meter high from the ground, but if you stand by the sink, you will find that the depth of these sinks is far more than one meter, but dug straight down.

Now these sinks have all dried up, but Char noticed that between each sink, there are several round metal pipes on the ground connecting each other.

These strange sinks intrigued Char, he walked along several sinks, and finally focused on the only striking thing in the cave other than these sinks: this thing was tightly attached to the Next to the wall in the corner of the cave, it is four or five meters high, and it looks like a huge upside-down bowl.

This thing is obviously sealed, and just under this huge container, there is a row of pipes with those sinks.

Xia Ya pulled out the dagger and scratched it lightly on the thing. With a creaking sound, a thin layer of iron filings suddenly appeared on the dagger.

After Xia took a closer look, he tapped the huge container twice with a dagger, shook off the iron filings on the dagger, turned around and was about to walk away... But something weird happened.

Just when Xia Ya turned around, the huge container behind him suddenly heard a few muffled sounds of "bang bang bang bang"!

The cave was originally silent, so the sudden movement was naturally very obvious. When Xia Ya heard it, her whole body instinctively tightened, and Huo Ran turned her head and stared at the thing behind her.

The huge container was quiet for a while, and just when Xia Ya thought that he had had an illusion just now, there were two "bang bang" sounds inside again!

It seemed that something was smashing the wall of the container, and in addition to the smashing sound, there were also some strange sounds, the sound of the urn.

Xia Ya was so shocked that almost all the hairs on her whole body stood up!

Could it be that there are some monsters in this huge container

Thinking that this is the place where ancient goblins created gods - this possibility does not seem to exist!

Xia Ya immediately took two steps back lightly, held the fire fork in his hand gently, and kept his eyes fixed on this thing... There was a ping-pong in the container, and the sound of beating inside was getting faster and faster, as if inside Something is anxious to break through this container and run out!

Xia Ya's hand holding the fire fork has been squeezed in, and the joints are cracking. After taking a deep breath, he is fully prepared!

At this moment, the container finally made a cracking sound, and the metal wall cracked with a long gap, and then the gap expanded rapidly. A huge hole is coming!

With this loud bang, iron filings were flying, and dust was blowing from the sky!

And in this piece of gray-yellow dust, I heard a dull roar inside, hula, and two strengths suddenly shot out from it!

Xia Ya's eyes widened. At this moment, all his energy was concentrated, and his vision suddenly turned into a crimson color, and he saw two black energy shot out of the hole! He immediately raised his head and turned back, and with two swipes, the two black lights almost wiped past him! The fire fork in his hand immediately waved over, and he heard two "chacha" sounds, as if the fire fork had cut off something.

After Xia turned over and stood up, he saw what was on the ground, and couldn't help being stunned!

There are two spears that have been cut off on the ground!

Moreover, from the perspective of style and texture, it is the kind of spear used by the Zaku native warriors! !

How could the spears of the Zaku natives shoot out of this strange container built by the ancient goblins? !

Xia Ya shouted loudly, turned over, and swung the fire fork over. There was a muffled groan from the hole immediately. The fire fork seemed to have encountered some obstacle. After a crisp knocking sound, it seemed that something was broken. , and then there was a muffled groan with pain inside...

Xia Ya originally wanted to stab the fire fork in, but when he heard the sound, he suddenly retracted his arm and took a few steps back! Although the voice sounded a little vague just now, at least Xia confirmed one thing: it was a human voice!

"What! It's a human being or a ghost! Get out of here! Otherwise, I'll be stabbed!"

Xia Ya shouted while holding the fire fork.

When he roared like this, the container was buzzing, and he heard a scream coming from inside. The scream was crisp and delicate, and it was the voice of a young woman. After a cheer, there was a cheering shout: "Ah! Don't do it, don't do it! It's Char! It's Char!!"

There was a chaotic mess inside, and then a figure hurriedly emerged from the hole. The small half of the body protruded out, covered with dust and iron filings, and half of the head was dusty, as if from the soil. It was the same as the one that came out, and I couldn't see the original face at all, but the pair of eyes were bright and full of spiritual energy. His eyes turned twice on Xia Ya's body, and his eyes quickly filled with a smile, and those eyes were full of energy. Bends with laughter.

With a cheer, this small body jumped out, like a milk swallow returning to its nest, and rushed in front of Xia Ya with a hula, and threw herself into Xia Ya's arms without a word.

Xia Ya had already seen and heard clearly, but his expression was full of surprise, his eyes widened, and his mouth widened, but he just stared at the person who bumped into his arms in surprise.

Finally, he managed to squeeze a few words out of his throat.

"Su, Su Ling? How did you come here, you little girl?!"

Su Ling didn't answer, but just struggled to get into Xia Ya's arms, laughing and screaming like a swallow.

But then, a figure emerged from the hole in the container, still so dismal, but Xia Ya recognized it carefully and immediately recognized it.

It's that Zaku boy, A Cai.

"You?" After Xia was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly sank: "What the hell! How did you come here! Didn't I tell you to bring this chick back quickly! How did you all run in!"

A Cai wiped his face hard. His face was the same as Su Ling's, and he didn't know which mound he got out of. His face was ashen. After such a smear, he suddenly turned into a big face, with a frowning look on his face. At Xiaya's question, A Cai smiled bitterly and swallowed: "I, I..."

"What are you!" Xia Ya shouted sarcastically, "Didn't I tell you to escort this little girl back!"

Saying that, he pushed Su Ling in his arms away.

A Cai looked at Su Ling and then at Xia Ya, and finally said helplessly: "Yes, I promised you to send her back, but... I forgot something very important."

"What's the matter?" Xia Ya put away the fire fork in dissatisfaction.

"I..." A Cai looked embarrassed, but finally gave the answer: "I can't beat her... In fact, she forced me to come in with you to find you."

Xia Ya was stunned, looked at Su Ling, and then at A Cai: "You... can't beat... her?!"

A Cai bit her lip, unable to speak. However, Su Ling raised her plump breasts and smiled proudly, but her face was full of dust, but she covered her beauty, and her tone was smug: "Of course! You can think that I am that kind of delicate and powerless woman! I am a big The chief's daughter, the best warriors in the tribe have been my teachers since childhood."

Xiaya stayed for a while: "But... that night, you were caught... "

Su Ling's eyes were a little embarrassed: "That night... I was suddenly attacked and caught off guard, so I was restrained by those guys, but..." She raised her chest: "I'm usually very good!"

"Bullshit!" Xia Ya was furious, and suddenly roared: "What are you kidding! This ghost place is simply a bottomless pit! Do you think this is a game!!"

He was so angry that he cursed. After scolding for a while, the two young people remained silent. A Cai was full of embarrassment. As for Su Ling, it was an indifferent expression. Take a look at Char.

Finally, when Xia Ya's scolding stopped for a while, A Cai said, "Sir, I know we were wrong, but..."

"Stop talking about that." Xia Ya lowered her face, pointed to the container and said, "What's going on here? How did you get in here?"

"Ah!" Su Ling screamed: "There's a hole in here! We got up from below! The bottom is dirty! We drilled in a dark cave for a long time before we finally got out! Thinking of running into such a big black guy... we..."

"Shut up." Xia Ya drank angrily, then pointed at A Cai: "Tell me, what's going on!"

A Cai glanced at Su Ling cautiously, and then slowly said: "Sir, after you entered, Su Ling forced me to come down too. But we have not found you since we entered. After entering a hole , I walked through a lot of forks along the way... It's like a big maze. There are still many passages blocked. But when we were crossing a bridge, it collapsed and both of us fell off. We entered an underground river, but fortunately we survived and were not drowned, but were swept into another cave by the undercurrent..."

"That's right! There's a lot in that cave..." Su Ling immediately shouted impatiently.

"Shut up!" Xia Ya glared at Su Ling again, and then at A Cai: "Speak! Speak carefully."

"Yes." A Cai took a breath: "The cave is a big open space, there is nothing in it, it is empty, like a plaza for sacrifice in our tribe's stockade, there are a lot of stones on the ground, just wondering what it is. The same array. We wandered there for a long time and couldn't find a way out, and then... later..."

"What happened after that?"

A Cai seemed to be a little hesitant, but after Xi Ya stared at him, he sighed honestly: "Later, Su Ling unexpectedly bumped into a stone platform, and we found out that those stones look very big, but there are many They are actually hollow. After moving them, I found that they are very light. There are many deep grooves on the ground of that square. We pushed the stones around in the grooves... Well, there are many grooves on the ground in that place. , seems to be some very regular patterns, I don't know anything, just listen to Su Ling's instructions, push those stones in the groove several times, and set up a strange array... A hole appeared on the ground, we just Run down the hole and enter..."

"Wait." Xia Ya immediately turned to look at Su Ling, but the girl had already wiped the dust on her face with her sleeves. Xia Ya looked at her: "How do you know how to move those stones?"

"It's very simple." Su Ling raised her head, her eyes seemed relaxed, and she said casually, "I recognize those patterns on the ground."

"Do you recognize it?" Xia Ya immediately stared at Su Ling: "What pattern is that? How can you recognize it?"

Su Ling blinked his eyes, as if stunned, but then shook his head: "I don't know how to say it, I just recognize it. I have seen those patterns since I was a child, on many ancient sacred artifacts in our tribe. There are carvings of this pattern. The sacred artifacts of those tribes are stacked in my father's tent. There are many, many, and no one is allowed to touch them on weekdays, and no one usually touches them. But I liked to sneak in and play since I was a child. I was just playing with those things. I just saw that there were so many deep grooves on the floor of the cave, which seemed to be a pattern I had seen before, so... "

As soon as Xia Ya waved his hand, he looked at A Cai again: "Go ahead!"

"Ah? Ah, yes..." A Cai opened her mouth: "We walked down from the hole that appeared on the ground, only to find that there is another layer under the hole, with a large transparent pipe on the side, and a door below it. , after we walked in the door, people suddenly sank in the pipe! I don't know how long it has been sinking, and the pipe bottomed out. When we came out, we saw a pile of strange iron tables with It's something that turns, like a roulette wheel and a compass."

A Cai thought for a while, then added: "Ah, by the way, the place full of iron tables looks like a room, and there is a picture on the wall. That pattern looks like a map!"

Xia's eyes suddenly lit up: "Map?! Are you sure?!"

A Cai nodded seriously: "I think I can be sure. Because at the beginning, I didn't recognize it, but later I saw a familiar route on the pattern, and there were exactly two. Judging from the direction and position, it was just right. It was the transparent tube that automatically descended when we passed by, and at the center of the room seemed to be the room with the iron table…”

His eyes suddenly dodged: "The picture is carved on the wall, and it seems to still glow. I touched it, and it seemed to be a stone, um... It's like a kind of gem I've seen, but it's that big a whole. Blocks, I've never seen them. And... and..."

"What else, say it quickly!" Xia Ya's face was full of anxiety.

"Also, Su Ling..." A Cai swallowed, "There's one more thing, I'm a little uneasy, I always feel a little weird..."

"eccentric?"

"Yes, it's weird." A Cai said cautiously: "In that place, Su Ling was fiddling around, I told her not to touch things, but she didn't listen to me. There were so many roulettes and roulettes on the iron table. The compass, she turned a few times at will, and she didn't know what it was turning... Then, then... Then suddenly there was movement, and a transparent hourglass fell from the wall! I see the sand in the hourglass. After that, it was all pure gold sand. The hourglass suddenly turned over from the wall, and the sand inside began to fall... Then, I also found that the map on the wall suddenly changed! One route suddenly turned into a red light, distinguishing it from the other routes."

When Xia Ya heard this, she felt a little weird in her heart.

"I felt something was wrong, so I pulled Su Ling to go, but I found out that the door we came in had been closed, and even the transparent pipe that would automatically rise and fall did not move. Fortunately... I looked at the wall. on the map, the route turned red, but there is an exit that can still be used. I followed the red route on the map on the wall and found a secret door in that room, a vertical pipe, we We just got in, there was so much dust in it that we almost choked to death, we just crawled and crawled so hard, and finally we came here..."

Hourglass? start the timer? A map on the wall? Suddenly a red separate route is automatically marked

As soon as Xia Ya thought of this, suddenly, she heard a loud bang!

This huge roar seems to be coming from under your feet! Then the whole cave shook violently, and the roaring sound lasted for a few breaths. Under the violent shaking, the stones on the top of the cave fell off one after another, causing the three of them to stand unsteadily, and Su Ling even slammed into it. In Xia's arms!

This change came suddenly and went quickly. After the loud noise, the shaking of the cave soon stopped, but deep underground, a faint roar was still faintly heard intermittently...

The sound seemed to be getting deeper and deeper, from the depths of the underground that I don't know how deep...

It seems... is something wrong? !
