Scepter of Truth

Chapter 5: remains

Views:

Aunt Maria and Penny were safely escorted to the garrison camp outside Carter City by Uncle Leo, who was not a simple identity, but Victor, who knew nothing about this, fell into a life-and-death crisis in the secret tunnel.

Turning a corner at a ninety-degree angle, a faint fluorescent light suddenly appeared in Victor's field of vision.

Looking intently, there is a layer of strange moss-like plants on the walls and ground of this underpass, and the faint fluorescence is emitted from the surface of these plants.

In this deadly silent environment, Victor's heart was inexplicably tight, and his instinct was telling him that this place is not a fun place! But when Victor wanted to turn around and retreat, he was horrified to find that the road when he came had turned into a stone wall...

Victor, who had no retreat, could only gritted his teeth, bit his scalp, and walked forward tremblingly.

I stepped on the moss, and I felt greasy.

Suppressing this very disgusting feeling in his heart, Victor continued to move forward.

After turning a few turns, Victor's footsteps stopped, because in front of him was an artificially built stone passage, and in the middle of this passage, four or five heavily armed men lay all over the place. Corpse of soldier.

"Knife wall trap, flying spear trap, sickle trap..."

Victor squinted his eyes and observed carefully for a long time. He distinguished from previous game experience that these soldiers had died under concentrated traps.

For Victor, during the expedition, the most terrifying sound was not the howling of the banshee, the roar of the troll, or the flapping of the dragon's wings... It was a "click" in the silence.

Victor, who was once a high-level professional, could face a group of monsters and was unscathed, but such strength would not allow him to smoothly pass through a corridor full of traps.

According to experience, not all traps have to kill intruders... because such traps are often expensive to build, and they are not necessarily triggered. Therefore, the deadly trap displayed in front of Victor at this time means that a secret entrance is not far ahead.

"The question now is, how can I avoid or destroy these traps hidden in the dark tunnels?"

Victor, who was still an ordinary civilian, couldn't help but feel a headache.

Just when Victor was hesitant to move forward, there was a loud noise in the passage behind him!

"Damn it! This is a rolling stone!!"

Victor's complexion tightened, with traps in front and rolling stones behind. This Nima is trying to play his rhythm! !

At this juncture of life and death, Victor didn't care too much, he took a deep breath, cats on his waist, tiptoe, and swiftly jumped back and forth in this trap-filled tunnel.

Victor, who played for a long time, passed through the location of the dead soldier's body without any risk, and passed the first half of the dark tunnel relatively smoothly.

"Next... it's time to fight for luck!!"

At this time, the rumbling of the Rolling Stone Trap was getting closer, leaving Victor with little time left!

Victor gritted his teeth and sprinted towards the end of the tunnel.

"Crack!"

"despair!"

The sounds of several traps being triggered sounded one after another, and Victor's eyes flashed with cold light!

"Dart trap!"

Before the idea, the body first!

Victor's body instinctively lowered, and the cluster of darts flew past his scalp.

At the same time, a great axe swung down from the ceiling of the passage with a howling sound.

"Axe trap!"

With the momentum, Victor rolled on the spot, barely avoiding the beheading of this great axe, only leaving a long wound on his back waist.

"It's almost..."

After touching the hot wound, Victor, who was covered with blood, didn't stop for a moment, and continued to rush forward.

"Quick! It's almost at the end of the passage..."

Just when Victor's face showed a trace of joy after the rest of his life, his feet were suddenly empty!

"Prickly pit!"

Victor struggled to stretch his arms forward, and when his body was about to fall into a pit full of sharp spears, he grabbed the edge of the pit in front of the trap.

After a lot of effort, Victor panted out of the trap that almost killed him.

"Hey! If you don't die in a catastrophe, there must be a blessing!"

Victor wiped the sweat from his face, and the blood on his hands made his face look particularly hideous.

Victor, who came to the end of the passage, quickly fumbled for the hidden switch on the wall. If he hadn't found it before the rolling stone came, it would be a good thing to turn into a meatloaf.

"Huh? I found it!!"

Victor pressed down somewhere on the wall, and the inside of the wall rang the sound of mechanical operation.

"Hurry up, hurry up..."

Victor's mouth kept muttering, and when he looked back sideways, he could already see the huge rolling stone.

Finally, before the rolling stone came, a wide gap was cracked in the wall at the end of the passage, and Victor slipped into it.

"Boom!!"

The rolling stone collided violently with the wall, and the airflow that came made Victor ashamed when he entered the secret door.

After little effort, the dusty Victor coughed and staggered out from the other end of the secret door.

"It's really irritating... cough cough..."

Victor slapped the dust on his body, raised his head and looked around, but the scene reflected in his vision made him open his mouth and stood still.

"This... This is an underground ruin, there is actually an'Inheritance Altar'..."

In the center of the underground ruins behind the hidden door, stands a three-story altar similar to a Mayan pyramid.

In his previous life, Victor used this "inheritance altar" to advance his mage career to the legendary "Tianyun Mage". Therefore, he was very impressed with this pyramid-shaped building and took it at a glance. Recognized it.

"I didn't expect it..."

Victor curbed his mind and walked carefully toward the location of the "Inheritance Altar".

After repeatedly confirming the safety, Victor stepped up the steps and came to the top of the "Inheritance Altar", where the core facility of the entire building-the "Inheritance Array".

In this large array with a full radius of three meters, the complex, cumbersome, pattern-like lines were flowing with a dark blue magic halo, which made Victor dazzled and happy.

"Well, the preservation of this magic circle is very complete! As long as you are ready, you can activate it directly, and then get the inheritance..."

Victor thought excitedly: "Apart from the temple, only the legendary mage has such a great hand! I just don't know what kind of advanced profession information is contained in this circle? Will it be Master Tianyun?"

Just as Victor was thinking about it, the other two teams with clear goals were quickly marching towards this hidden underground ruin.
