I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

Page 149

"The door has been opened."

The scouts below reported back.

"door?"

Lu Jian was puzzled.

He followed Iron Fist into the passage, which was a narrow passage dug with unknown tools, it could accommodate three people side by side, and it was very spacious.

In front of the passage is a more spacious underground hall, where many supplies have been placed. On one side of the hall, there is a door that has been blown to pieces.

"I don't know what blasted the door?"

Lu Jian thought to himself that there were explosions in the ruins of the city before, but obviously these people did not have gunpowder and the like, so it is extraordinary ability?

Curious as to whose power it was, he casually glanced into the gate.

There is another passageway inside, it has not been lit yet, it is pitch black, and it smells of decay.

Iron Fist took out a piece of paper made of animal leather. On it, there was an intricate topographical structure map, which seemed to be the route of a certain maze or dungeon.

"This is the map here?"

Lu Jian asked curiously.

Iron Fist didn't answer him, but looked at the others.

"You must not mess with the things here. The mechanism used to trap that guy is very ingenious. Any deviation may cause the seal to loosen."

He said so.

"Seal? Is it the remains of a saint?"

Lu Jian glanced at Xi Ya, the female mage in armor snapped her fingers, and spoke after a while.

"The complexity below is beyond imagination, and I haven't even explored a third of the terrain."

The huge underground labyrinth, which may exceed 300 meters, reminded Lu Jian of the emperor's tomb in those tomb robbers.

He saw that the guy in white wandered around the food and weapon supplies curiously, then walked into the gate and disappeared into the darkness.

"It went in."

Lu Jian pointed to the door.

===185.Underground Labyrinth===

The cold and dry underground passage was already depressing, but Lu Jian's words added a sense of urgency to these people.

Among them, the one who feels the most impatient is probably Iron Fist.

He knew very well that if what Lu Jian saw was really the remains of a saint, it meant that the secrets here might have surpassed his original imagination, and it was unimaginable that something could be guarded by a remains of a saint.

"The remains of the saint here are Achilles. He disappeared from people's eyes 130 years ago. That is to say, after his death, he has been active for at least 130 years."

Iron Fist made it clear that it was not only for Lu Jian and the others, but also for his subordinates.

"Achilles possesses such power that even the strongest wilderness hunter cannot confront him head-on. He is proficient in all weapons known to man. While alive, his city-state launched a war in just a few decades. fought hundreds of battles without losing a single one.”

"What about his city-state now?"

Lu Jian asked curiously.

"After his death, his body left the city-state. Afterwards, the city was attacked by countless enemies and finally disappeared from the map."

Iron Fist said sarcastically.

"So that's how it is. When we were alive, we had too many vengeances. After we die, we all have grievances and grievances."

Lu Bian nodded again and again.

A country that feeds war with war, when its combat power is weakened, is the common enemy of those countries it once conquered.

"It can be said that Achilles is almost invincible in close combat. We should try to avoid confrontation with him. However, the condition of the saint's remains may change now, and we must be more cautious."

Iron Fist glanced at Lu Trip.

"Shining, you go ahead, after you stop the echo, I'm in the second, you two follow me."

he commanded.

Glitter is a young man with crystallized eyes, his jewel-like eyes can emit a strong light, illuminating the passage.

And the echo seems to be able to make some kind of sound, and it can be detected through the echo.

"Ultrasound?"

Lu Jian quietly manifested [last words] to enhance his hearing, and heard the voice coming from the boy's crystallized mouth and throat.

There were only indistinguishable words on the broken door. Lu Jian glanced at it, and it seemed that the quiet place had no intention of translating for him, so he could only give up.

The aisle became narrow, and could only accommodate two people side by side. There seemed to be paintings on the walls, but they had peeled off and faded with time.

With a crowbar in his hand, Lu Jian looked over the shoulders of the people in front of him. He could see the dark road illuminated by flames. Perhaps, hundreds of years ago, the priests of the lost civilization walked on this road like this, toward Go to the deepest part of the altar, where rituals are performed, and life is dedicated to the gods.

"Wait, this is an altar."

Lu Jian suddenly spoke.

"You don't need to remind me."

Faceless behind him replied.

"No, what I mean is that this is an altar, it is used in rituals, these paths are obviously for people to walk, and here requires blood to activate, that is to say, this sacrificial ceremony should require sacrifices"

Lu Jian organized the language.

"Is there a possibility that this complex tunnel is actually used for sacrifices? These roads are not decorations and burdens, but to trap something underneath?"

After he finished speaking, Iron Fist was startled.

"It is indeed possible."

Iron Fist thought of some speculation, but he didn't say it.

"So, starting this authentic act with blood just now, does it represent the beginning of the sacrifice?"

Lu Jian said what Iron Fist was thinking.

"You mean, we are all sacrifices?"

When Shia came to her senses, the entire tunnel began to tremble violently.

"Go back."

Lu Jian yelled, but behind them, the road had changed. The original passage back was blocked by a wall, as if the maze had a will of its own.

Even the rope used to recognize the way was broken, and only a small piece remained on the ground.

"We're stuck."

The echo from the back of the palace gave out the sound of urgency and urgency.

"Don't be nervous."

Lu Jian said something, and then extinguished the torch.

"Turn out all the fires, don't waste air."

The reason why he didn't panic is that firstly, he didn't encounter any additional danger, and it was far worse than the worst situation. Second, he had seen similar situations in many adventure movies, and they were usually caused by a certain person. The low-handed pig teammate triggered the mechanism, which caused changes in the tomb or secret realm, sealing off the escape route.

This usually also means that if they go forward, there is a high probability that they will be able to reach the core of this underground labyrinth.

Several people extinguished the torches, leaving only the flashing lights, and continued to move forward.

Shia used the detection technique to check the surroundings from time to time, but found nothing unusual.

Lu Juan thought of the pyramids. He had seen a documentary about a group of people exploring the pyramids. At the end of the story, most of these explorers died due to various accidents, which added a lot to the tombs of the pharaohs. Less mystery.

When thinking of this, Lu Jian suddenly felt that everyone's footsteps were not so messy.

"Wait a moment."

He said, turned around and saw Shia, faceless, nothing unusual, he turned his head and continued on.

"wrong."

Lu Jian said again, making Iron Fist stop.

"what happened?"

Iron Fist turned his head and saw Lu Jian and Faceless, he was a little puzzled.

"It always feels a little strange, it's too quiet."

Lu Jian muttered to himself.

"You go quickly."

Faceless urged behind Lu Jian, and Lu Jian could only continue to move forward, following behind Shining.

"I said, how old were you when you started doing this?"
