Du Yuqi said:
"Can the mind shield you used with all your strength withstand the previous bombardment?"
Xi had already mastered the sixth-order secret of the Qigong Master, the Ultimate Mind Shield, which could also absorb astonishing damage to protect teammates. After hearing Du Yuqi's question, he shook his head and said:
"At most, it can only withstand two giant pupil cannons."
Du Yuqi took a deep look at the fortress of the Zero Organization, and then said simply:
"This road is an absolute road to death."
At this time, the Holy Temple had already started urgent consultations with the Violent Hunting Group. After the two sides had a meeting, they began to summon all the magic scholars to participate in the war! After hearing this news, everyone with a discerning eye could see that this should be to use the powerful alchemical mechanical abilities of the magic scholars to participate in the war.
There are four types of iconic alchemical machines for magic scholars, which respectively represent the attributes of the four major elements.
An explosive heating furnace representing the fire system.
The Frost Drill represents the water system.
The electric eel collider represents the light system,
There is also an anti-gravity device that represents the attributelessness.
As for the current situation, the only things that can break the deadlock are the frost drilling vehicle and the anti-gravity device. After a slight modification, the former can dig tunnels underground and directly enter the interior of the underground fortress to launch a raid.
After the anti-gravity device has been modified, it can act as an elevator at any time and place. When people want to attack the underground castle, they don’t have to go through the main entrance, but can go directly to the top of the underground fortress from the side and then attack downwards.
Of course, doing so would certainly involve great risks, but at least it was much better than having to take the extremely dangerous mountain path straight to the main gate.
At this time, the people above were making plans, and Du Yuqi didn't want to be the first to stand out. In this extremely dangerous battlefield, the fastest to die are those who stand out! Who knows what other tricks that woman Mixia has not used yet?
But at this moment, Du Yuqi suddenly felt something strange inside the dimensional ring, so he immediately went to check it out. When he took a look, he suddenly discovered something: there was something inside that was shining with a faint light.
What is this thing? It is the strange magic map that Du Yuqi got from the clown's dimensional ring when he first entered the Arad continent. It is now emitting a strange red light.
When Du Yuqi got it, the map was very sloppy, with some old words written on it:
"The sound of the giant insect breaking through the ground was like a mournful wail, mixed in with the damp soil. The evil aura was ejected everywhere like a dying mosquito larva, but the power of the apostle was deeply buried in it, with its roots intertwined. Hundreds of years have turned the cave into ruins, buried deep underground..."
The words were vague, and there was a scribbled route map on the map. It seemed blurry, but it moved on its own. Although the movement was very limited and slight, after a while it was completely different from what it was an hour ago.
Du Yuqi asked someone to investigate and was told that this thing was imbued with powerful lost magic, so it was able to achieve such a "real-time change" effect. However, because the visual effects on the map were vague, sometimes certain specific routes could not be seen clearly, so it was actually quite useless.
Even before entering the Wailing Cave, Du Yuqi still had some hope for this map, but when he looked up the existing route maps explored in the Wailing Cave, he found that the features and routes did not match those presented on this map at all, so he was completely disappointed. He did not expect that this thing would actually react when he went deeper into this underground world.
Holding the mysterious map, Du Yuqi began to walk in circles, and found that the closer he got to the direction of the ancient kingdom's mausoleum, the brighter the light became. Du Yuqi suddenly had a bold guess in his mind, that is, did this mysterious map come from this mausoleum? He pondered for a while, then called Xi and Duize to walk towards the mausoleum.
When you arrive at the gate of this ancient mausoleum, you will find that although it looks rather sloppy and simple from a distance, it is actually magnificent. The ten-meter-high mausoleum gate alone is already imposing, but a large hole has been smashed in the heavy gate, and you can vaguely see huge stairs that are at least half a meter high, extending downwards one step at a time and sinking into the darkness.
A large group of people gathered in front of the gate, mostly members of the Violent Search Team, and they seemed to be waiting for news from inside. However, they did not prohibit others from entering or leaving. They obviously thought that it was very dangerous down there, and it would be best if there were some voluntary mice going in to explore the way.
Du Yuqi walked to the hole in the gate. He was very careful and noticed one thing immediately. That is, the hole in the gate was an old mark. He walked forward to take a look and touched it with his hands. There were obvious signs of weathering! From this point, it can be seen that this gate has been broken for at least hundreds of years. It can be seen that someone has visited here a long time ago. It is unknown whether these people came here based on historical clues or were directly driven here by the evil thoughts of the magic sword Apophis.
After going down the stairs and entering the mausoleum, they found that the internal structure was still extremely spacious, but it was pitch black everywhere, so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. Fortunately, they had been prepared for this situation. Xi flicked her finger and a light source the size of a ping-pong ball flew out, illuminating the surrounding hundreds of square meters. It hung above the heads of the three people and followed their movements. This alchemical lighting device was provided by the Holy Temple and was of great use at this time.
Looking at the mottled murals in the mausoleum, one can vaguely see that the alchemical puppet civilization in this ancient kingdom was very developed: gentle and sturdy clay puppets were responsible for construction in daily life, and huge war puppets and flame stone puppets charged in the battle. Even when boasting about the great achievements of the tomb owner, one can see his agile figure riding on a huge alchemical flying machine, holding a fluttering flag.
After walking further down, Du Yuqi and his companions saw a large number of corpses. Most of these corpses were already white bones, and they looked like prisoners who were captured and buried alive. There were even more than a dozen burial pits filled with corpses. This was also the place where ghosts and spirits appeared, but the people who had come down before had already cleared it out in advance.
At this time, Du Yuqi took out the map again and found that the text and patterns on it were all mixed up and disordered. Instead, there was a small red bead spinning around. After Du Yuqi stopped, the small bead rolled in one direction and fixed, just like a compass. In addition, there was a warmth coming from the map, indicating that the destination was not far away.
Du Yuqi thought about it, and then followed the direction indicated by the small bead. The group of people were like headless flies, bumping around in the deep and dark tomb. During this period, they encountered several groups of people, but after revealing their identities, they found that they were all friendly forces and did not fight.
However, just as the map started to heat up, Du Yuqi and his group discovered something very terrible, that is, there was a stone wall blocking the way ahead, and there was no way forward at all. The stone wall was made of huge stones over three meters long, and the gaps were filled with mortar, so that not even a needle could be inserted. It looked unbreakable at first glance, but the small red bead pointed firmly at the position of the stone wall.
If this happens, there are only three possibilities:
The stone wall itself is a mechanism, and there is another world behind it.
There is the correct passage above where Du Yuqi and the others are.
There is the correct passage below where Du Yuqi and the others are.
If it were someone else, they might still be worried about this kind of thing, but Du Yuqi now possessed the power of the first apostle Kahn, and his control over power had reached an astonishing level. He walked to the front of the stone wall, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then punched out!
This punch was made with Yin force. After the fist hit the stone wall, it went straight into the wrist, leaving only a few cracks around it, as if this was not an extremely hard stone wall, but moist soil.
All of Du Yuqi's strength had been completely injected into the stone wall, while sensing the power fed back from all directions. The principle of this detection behavior was similar to "underground airspace sound wave detection", the difference being that Du Yuqi used his own strength, while the latter used sound waves.
A few seconds later, Du Yuqi opened his eyes and pointed diagonally downwards:
“There was a distinct hollow sound there.”
After the location was selected, it was Duize's turn to take the stage. Although he was a roaming gunner, he also had some common sense about explosives, such as the common skills of sharpshooters: RX-78 self-destruct pursuer, and G-14 grenade were both very well-trained.
A few minutes later, Duize had already dug the pit and asked everyone to step back a few dozen meters to avoid it. Then there was a muffled "boom". Although the explosion was not loud, it was quite powerful. The tomb wall trembled and stone chips and dust fell from above, making people worry that the place was about to collapse.
隔了几秒钟,就听到旁边有密集的“沙沙”声,乃是之前被炸飞起来到空中的泥土尘埃落下。再进去看的时候,便见到此地赫然已经被他炸出来了一个大坑,恰好就在石壁的正前方,足足有三米多深,坑底的泥土犹自发烫,还冒着袅袅青烟。
杜瑜琦跳入坑底,发觉下方虽然有横七竖八的石块堵住,但依稀却能见到空隙孔洞,有幽冷的风从中吹来,顿时心中一喜,知道自己之前的判断并没有错误。
下方堆叠坍塌的石块体积颇大,至少一块也是五六百斤,在地球上面的话,非得需要挖掘机或者十几个力工才能对付。不过此时杜瑜琦的力量惊人,用手抱住一抽就将之轻轻松松的拽了起来,三下五除二便将坑底堵塞的石块重新弄开,露出了下方一条通道来。
此时看这条通道,发觉两旁的墙壁都是土石结构,连基本的打磨都没有,有的地方甚至直接用条石支撑顶部避免塌方,与陵墓里面的庄严精致形成了鲜明的对照。
于是就不难判定出来,这条通道要么就是后来的盗墓者所挖掘的,要么就是修筑陵墓的工匠为了避免被封死在陵墓里面殉葬,所以在修筑的时候就开挖的逃生通道。
杜瑜琦跳下了这条通道,弯弯绕绕的走出了几十米,发觉前方一空,出现了一道天然的岩石缝隙,走过去以后就发现那里原来是一道石坎,在石坎下方五六米处,便有一道地下河发出潺潺水声流淌而去。
在发觉地下世界动植物颇为繁茂之后,杜瑜琦便断定这里的水脉众多,否则的话,地底世界本来常年难见阳光,再没有水气滋润,断然不会出现这样生机勃勃的景象。所以此处遇到了一条地下河也不以为意。
而就在石坎上,则是倒卧了一具白骨,这白骨也不知道已经在这里死去了多少岁月,连骨头都已经朽烂了,轻轻一碰便化成了粉末,白骨身上的衣袍都已经被风化,只有一些金属配饰抹去上面的灰尘以后依然闪闪发光。
不过这些金属配饰的风格与此时迥然不同,比如有一条手链竟是用金属獠牙串起来的,又比如一只戒指的黑宝石戒面竟雕刻成了一张扭曲鬼面……杜瑜琦不是本世界的就不说了。兑泽和夕两人却也算是见过世面的人,但也从未见过如此风格的装饰品。
同时,这白骨的脖子上面挂着一条项链,项链上面有两颗赤红色的珠子周围正氤氲着燃烧也似的光芒,与杜瑜琦手中的这张地图相呼应。二者看起来有着很紧密的联系。
原来这白骨的身份,乃是数千年之前佩鲁斯帝国的一位贵族,叫做兰造爵士。而此时的德洛斯帝国,就在佩鲁斯帝国的废墟之上建立起来的。这位贵族喜欢剑术,自身资质平平,却硬生生的依靠家族的大量资源将自己的实力堆了起来。
不过政坛上面的事情都是风云突变,这位贵族的家族却在一次政治斗争当中站错了队伍,而且参与的是废立帝王的这种高风险政治事件,结果不用说,家族惨遭血洗灭门,不过兰造爵士却是依靠自己的实力逃了出来,自此便想要咬牙复仇。
不过,一个人想要与一个偌大的帝国对抗,那也真是寸步难行。兰造爵士在绝望之下,便想起来了这悲鸣洞穴(当时还不叫这个名字)当中,传说有一把强大无比的武器阿波菲斯。便将这个传说当成是自己的救命稻草,所以一咬牙便进入了这里进行寻找。
兰造爵士的家族也是流传了整整三百多年,当时虽然被灭门,但这样的大家族的势力盘根错节,也不是一下子就能扫清的,兰造爵士破釜沉舟,调集了所有的实力进入到悲鸣洞穴当中探险,又想尽办法弄到了一张探险专用的特制炼金地图。
这炼金地图十分珍贵,乃是要活捉一头夜叉王,然后将其活体炼金,最后剩余下来的夜叉皮则是被炼制成地图,而两只夜叉眼则是被炼制成了两颗枢纽,这两颗枢纽平时单独放置的时候,就能自动徐徐吸收天地之间游离的灵气,一旦被镶嵌到了地图上,则会将吸收到的灵气反哺入地图当中。
有着充足的灵气供应,这炼金地图就能不停朝着周围发出轻微的夜叉咆哮,然后周围的地形又将咆哮产生的波动反射回来接收,原理和蝙蝠利用超声波探路是一样的,而夜叉王咆哮波动的穿透力远远强于超声波。这样的话,就能成功将周围的地形完美探测出来,并且连密道也能显示。
夜叉王只生活在天帷巨兽的背部,虽然不算稀少,但是这炼金地图炼制的成功率却低得令人发指,若不是兰造爵士家族当中有着三百多年的累积,也没有办法入手。
有着手下的舍生忘死,外加这张强大的炼金地图,而且此时戮蛊虫还没有进入其中繁殖,所以竟然让他成功进入到了这祭陵的内部。
不过那时候上古王国布置的封印虽然有所松动,里面的机关和防护还是极其厉害,兰造爵士一行人虽然绞尽脑汁进入其中,最后也是陆续被杀。兰造爵士最后拿着地图一路跌跌撞撞的外逃,来到了这里终于支持不住,伤发死在了这里。
而他手中的这张特制的炼金地图落入水中被冲走,却也没有被冲太远就被旁边的石头卡住。几百年后零组织的先遣部队来到这里,寻找希洛克的变异泰拉石,无意当中找到了这张奇特的地图,便交给了小丑。
不过因为这张炼金地图实际上能量已经消耗殆尽,所以只能重复显示之前记录下来的路线,并且还不停变幻,所以显得杂乱无章,毫无规律可言。小丑便觉得这完全是鸡肋,并没有放在心上,没想到最后却落入到了杜瑜琦的手中发挥出了用处。
杜瑜琦将挂在兰造爵士脖子上的项链拿起来了以后,只是将之靠近炼金地图,二者本是一体,便若磁铁一样的吸附在了一起,便见到那两枚炼制过后的夜叉王眼球贴在地图的一左一右,源源不断的将吸收来的能量注入到地图内部。
很快的,这张炼金地图就开始闪亮了起来,然后上面的各种字迹也是随之清晰,不仅仅如此,便开始发出夜叉王独特的高频咆哮声来对附近进行探测,进而将周围的地形完美勾勒出来,以持有者为圆心,方圆一百五十米内的地质状况都能探索到,精度甚至能达一个拳头的大小。
不仅仅是这样,杜瑜琦试着操作了一下,竟然发觉还有放大,缩小,旋转等等功能,与地球上面的3D地图可以说是能相提并论了。甚至还能调阅出当时兰造爵士进入陵墓的路线图,还有兰造爵士事先调查收集到的相关陵墓地形图,这样的炼金水准真的是令人惊叹,可惜佩鲁斯帝国覆灭的时候,也是兵灾连绵,不少精妙无比的炼金技术就此失传……
拿到了这张地图以后,杜瑜琦立即就觉得事情大有可为。但就在这时候,忽然觉得周围都在震动,还隐隐有轰鸣之声,顶洞穴部甚至出现裂纹,石屑簌簌而落。三人对望一看,立即果断跃下了旁边暗河的河滩当中,然后依靠在一块巨石旁边。
跃下暗河是因为这里的地势相对空旷,危险性较小,并且即便塌方堵路的话,依然能在暗河当中找到水源求生。
依靠巨石的目的也很简单,塌方的时候最危险的就是从上方滚动的石块。依靠巨石而立以后,上方落下来的石头会有一部分先砸到巨石,然后再弹落下来,这样可以大幅度降低石头的杀伤力。
因为之前知道是要进入悲鸣洞穴当中战斗,所以杜瑜琦早就将这一系列注意事项记得滚瓜烂熟。因为这玩意儿有可能永远都派不上用场,然而一旦派上了用场,却在关键时刻就可能救你一命。
震动大概持续了半分钟才停歇,杜瑜琦和夕一干人乃是“身在此山中”,不知道外面发生了什么事情,却不知道外面一干人已经是眉头紧皱。
原来他们进入陵墓当中的这三个小时内,盟军想出来的好几项谋划都纷纷受挫被迫停止。但在这个时候,拉米斯之子这个组织当中,却有好几个人在陵墓当中找到了一个密室,密室当中的石壁上镌刻了一张地图,拓印下来以后就发觉上面标记得很清楚,那就是陵墓与旁边神庙其实是有暗道连接的,顺着陵墓当中的暗道,可以悄然潜入到旁边的神庙当中,而零组织此时的地下堡垒,就是在陵墓神庙的基础上改建的。
In this situation, everyone felt that it seemed like a trick, but it might also be true, so they sent fifty people in first. As a result, these fifty people quickly sent back news that they encountered fierce resistance from the Zero Organization, so they sent another two hundred people in.
As a result, after the two hundred people went in, they saw some commotion in the underground fortress, and there was smoke rising. So they sent another five hundred people in. As a result, as soon as these five hundred people went in, an explosion occurred immediately. The mausoleum had already been equipped with mechanisms by the Zero Organization, and a large amount of rocks poured down, trapping all these people inside.
Strictly speaking, these losses were all in bits and pieces, and when added together, they were not too big for the Allied Forces, and were roughly equivalent to less than one-tenth of their overall strength. However, these people in the Alliance were not soldiers, but only gathered together to fight for the interests of their superiors. To put it bluntly, they had little knowledge of each other.
The successive setbacks here and there were a heavy blow to morale, because after the Allied forces arrived here, almost every step they took fell into the opponent's calculations. This feeling of being led by the nose was undoubtedly very bad, and it even made people vaguely feel that the IQ of the big guys on their side was completely crushed!
The situation was quite bad for a while, but at this moment, something unexpected happened, because a figure suddenly walked out from the violent search team and slowly walked towards the gate of the underground fortress!
A man carrying a sword!
He seemed to be walking alone, drunk.
Xilan, he actually stood up at this time!
