Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
The leaves of the trees in the forest have fallen more and are spread all over the ground, making the autumn colors a little more intense.
During this process, many materials and items promised in the transaction between Wang Zigro and Richard were delivered. After Richard solved a series of tedious details, he officially started to open the mountain.
So for the next ten days or so, on the hilltop where the castle was located, one could often hear constant explosions coming from the mountains in the distance.
"Boom! Boom!"
"Da da da", the giant dragon Gregory in human form walked out of the cave and looked up at the sky. The sun had just risen not long ago. The light was mild and golden. It was a good weather. But his expression was a bit gloomy, as if he had been disturbed from sleeping in, and as if he was worried about something important.
Turning his head and glancing in the direction of the mountains in the distance, Gregory couldn't help but shake his head and said in a low voice: "Damn boy!"
Turn around and prepare to leave.
The next moment, a purple shadow flashed past.
Um
Gregory turned around and saw Pandora standing behind him.
"Um, good daughter, it's good to get up so early today..." Gregory's expression immediately changed and he became full of smile, turning his eyes to find a topic to talk about. But to be honest, he was really not good at this, so he was chatting to death on the spot, "But I got up earlier, well, I just didn't come out."
Pandora glared and did not answer Gregory's words, but said: "What are you doing?"
Gregory scratched his head and said: "Well, I didn't do anything. I just went out for a walk. Well, it's not because of that damn boy named Richard. I couldn't sleep at home every day, so I had to go out for a walk." change."
"Scared!" Pandora replied in a serious voice - she didn't believe it at all.
Gregory said with a bit of helplessness: "My dear daughter, everything I said is true. Besides, although I have been out these few days, with that Richard playing with you, you should not be too bored. Well. By the way, when I caught him before, I thought that if you played with him for a few days, you would wear him out, and I would catch a new one for you. Unexpectedly, he is quite playable, so you can look for him more. Are you having fun? Okay, no more words, I’m leaving first.”
Gregory said, as if he was in a hurry. The next moment, his body twisted and turned into the form of a giant dragon, swinging its wings to fly into the air. But after a long time of effort, he found that he couldn't fly. When he turned around, he saw that Pandora was grabbing his tail with her hands.
Um, this...
"Good daughter, you..." Gregory had a black line on his head and a very helpless expression. The next moment, his eyes flashed and he looked behind Pandora, "Hey, Richard?"
Um
Pandora immediately looked behind her and loosened her grip subconsciously.
Gregory quickly flapped his wings and flew up.
By the time Pandora realized she had been deceived and turned around to look at Gregory again, Gregory had already flown more than 100 meters into the air. Even if Pandora jumped up, she couldn't knock him down.
Pandora was very angry and the consequences were serious. Grigory was holding a pair of pink fists and staring at the sky.
According to his past habits, Gregory had to hover around for a while and say nice words, so as not to get really punched when he got home.
But this time, Gregory seemed to be really anxious and completely forgot about it. He flapped his wings and flew away quickly.
Pandora was stunned, then slowly lowered her clenched fist, frowning as she watched Gregory's figure quickly turn into a black dot and disappear into the horizon.
Gregory seems to be acting weird lately.
Pandora thought, turning her head for a moment to look in the direction of the mountains in the distance, the sound of explosions continued to come.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
…
Mountain.
A tunnel about two meters wide and high suddenly appeared on a rock wall on the mountainside. There were many reinforcement brackets in the tunnel. At the deepest point, Richard was completing the final blasting preparations.
Looking at the honeycomb-like rock with many holes drilled in front of him, Richard backed away, retreated to a safe distance, and uttered a spell in his mouth. With a wave of his hand, a "fire blast" was released, igniting a fuse on the rock. The fuse branched and spread towards all the boreholes, eventually igniting the liquid oxygen explosives loaded in many boreholes almost simultaneously.
"boom!"
The whole mountain seemed to be shaken violently, the corridor shook violently, and a large amount of stone debris fell "rustling" from the walls. The drilled rock was shattered as if it had been hit by a 10,000-pound hammer. A large amount of gravel was shot out in all directions like bullets, followed by dust.
Richard used an air wall to block the rubble, and waited patiently for the dust to settle. He looked up and saw that the tunnel had been successfully opened, and a secret room with a radius of several meters was right in front of him. In the center of the secret room stood an altar, with a crystal skull placed on the altar, which was exactly the same as what was seen with the conscious body.
Taking a slow breath, Richard stepped towards the secret room and glanced around. He observed the secret room for the second time and for the first time with his physical eyes.
The secret room is in the shape of a cube, with a length, width and height of about six meters. The four walls are covered with scratches. When you get closer, you will find that they are not scratches, but magic patterns with a certain pattern.
Magic pattern!
Richard looked at the four walls of the entire secret room, looked at the integrated magic patterns, and realized that this was a huge magic circle. Its function is probably to absorb free energy from the outside world and then transfer it to the crystal skull on the altar.
Because of this, the Crystal Skull will receive enough energy every other month to burst out and trigger a beast tide.
After figuring it out, Richard walked towards the altar in the center of the secret room with twinkling eyes.
Then Richard discovered that the surface of the altar was also engraved with magic patterns. Compared with the four walls of the secret room, it was more complex and delicate, and it probably had a control effect.
Taking a deep breath, Richard strode up to the altar and reached out to touch the crystal skull with some caution.
Fifty centimeters, forty centimeters, thirty centimeters...
Twenty centimeters, fifteen centimeters, ten centimeters...
As the finger approached, the crystal skull showed no reaction. But just when the distance between the fingers and the surface of the crystal skull shortened to less than ten centimeters, the crystal skull suddenly began to vibrate as if it was aware of some danger. Richard could feel a huge amount of energy surging inside the crystal skull, ready to be released in advance.
With a raised eyebrow, Richard made a quick decision and picked up the crystal skull from the altar.
In an instant, as if the power supply of an electrical appliance was cut off, the surge of energy in the crystal skull disappeared directly, and the crystal skull directly turned into a dead object without any reaction.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Richard carefully looked at the crystal skull in his hand.
It can be seen with the naked eye that the workmanship is extremely fine. Except for the size, it is almost 100% replica of a person's head, or a woman's head. If you look at it for a long time, you will feel that a living woman is looking at you and talking to you.
"Put... put me back... put me back..."
Richard was in a daze for a moment, and the next moment he was suddenly alert, realizing that the crystal skull and the secret chamber were still playing some role together. If we continue to study here, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen, so I'd better leave and return to the castle first.
Thinking like this, Richard turned around without hesitation with the crystal skull in hand, walked out of the secret room, walked out of the corridor, and walked down the mountain.
There was a strange fluctuation in the secret room, which was released with some delay, preparing to affect Richard's mind and asking Richard to stay in the secret room with the crystal skull and not leave, but it was obviously too late. The strange fluctuations are silent, waiting for the next opportunity.
