Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 126: Adventure for two

As the direction of travel gradually deviated from the main business road, they did not meet anyone on the road afterwards.

The next day, they walked for more than half a day. About in the afternoon, the two reached the ancient tomb that Shuggs said.

The entire mausoleum is obviously built on the mountain, the main entrance is at the foot of the mountain, and the tomb should be buried deep in the mountain.

It is impossible to estimate the scale of this mausoleum from the outside, and it is impossible to judge the identity of the owner of the mausoleum.

The front entrance of the mausoleum can't be said to be magnificent. The two closed arched stone doors exude a sense of solemnity, rusty knockers, and ancient reliefs carved on the facade. As for the content of the pattern, it has long been buried in moss and dust. clear.

On both sides of the gate stood two square-bottomed cylindrical stone pillars. At the top of the pillars squatted an ugly sculpture with wings. Thor took a closer look and couldn't tell whether it was a gargoyle or something else.

The front entrance of the entire mausoleum is buried in chest-high grass. If you don't search along the foot of the mountain, it should be difficult to find this hidden place, and it is really difficult for the adventure team of Shuggs to find such a remote place.

Sol’s own hand-painted map did not extend to this side. His map was mainly aimed at the expansion of the four directions in the south, east, north and west of Gray Screen. As for the value of adventure, Sol has never heard of it here. This is also the first time for Sol. .

However, although the mountain on which the mausoleum rests does not seem to have a name, Sol thinks it should be the one on the side of the Sleeping Forest. He suspects that as long as he keeps going along the side of the mountain, he should be able to reach the dragon Teres in the end. At the col.

Thor stepped forward and tried to push the stone gate of the tomb, without any surprise. It seems that opening the door requires tremendous force or some special means, and Thor starts to look for the mechanism to open the door along the periphery of the door frame.

Shuggs coughed while leaning on the mountain wall, and Saul walked over and patted him on the back.

"Or wait until your body recovers?" Sol suggested. It was a little better at the beginning of the road, but Shuggs kept coughing in the second half of the journey, and it seemed that the cold had worsened.

"The main entrance can't be opened. Come here. There is still a small road here." Shuggs waved his hand and took Thor along the left side of the mausoleum's main entrance for a certain distance. After he lifted his foot to crush the grass, there was a trail on the mountain wall. A small entrance as high as the waist was exposed.

"Damn it, I told you not to over-indulge, and always say no, look at how weak you are now!" Saul said with a smile.

"You guy, your mouth still smells so bad all winter." Shuggs squatted down and fiddled with it for a while, and the rusty lock on the small entrance was quickly removed.

As soon as the baffle of the entrance was opened, a group of bats rushed out with a cold wind. Thor and Shuggs stood on both sides and waited until the group of bats passed before returning to the entrance.

This entrance is obviously a small tunnel, extending towards the ground in a **** shape. I don't know if it is for ventilation or for other purposes. The two lay down one by one, tucked their lower body in first, and then slid down the corridor one after the other.

At the edge of the exit at the end of the tunnel, Thor supported the wall and stopped. He first touched the copper coin and threw it out. Soon there was the sound of the copper coin falling to the ground. It seemed that the corridor exit was not high from the ground, so Sol took the lead in jumping down.

After landing to confirm his vision, Saul took out two torches from the ring to light it, and handed one to Shuggs who came down.

At the moment, it seems that I have come to the masonry mausoleum hall, which is about the same size as the small auditorium of the monastery. The ground is paved with polished stone and the top wall is not high.

The surrounding area was empty, and no coffins were placed. Obviously, this was not the main tomb.

Everything in the hall looks rigorous, whether it is the straight wall cracks between the bricks and stones, the pillar-shaped decorative pillars, the lampstands, or the ancient murals and torch holders on the walls, everything is neat and tidy, and there is no sense of disorder.

Not dare to light a torch in the wilderness because you are afraid of being discovered by a powerful enemy in the distance, but in such a dark tomb, if you wait for something to float over and discover it, it is obviously too late, so everyone has a torch.

In the whole hall, except for the passage from the main entrance, there is a passage on each of the other three walls, and it is unknown where it is connected.

Seeing Sol's questioning gaze, Shuggs shrugged.

"We haven't come down. We found the small entrance and left. We agreed to come again in the future."

"Since there is an agreement, will we cause you trouble by scanning it now?" Saul was a little suspicious.

"It's not that the one who came in advance may die first, and the one who arrives later may not have money to make." Shuggs waved his hand.

In the end, the two of them walked to the passage of the front wall, because the passage of this passage was facing the front entrance of the mausoleum, which always gave people a sense of formality as they went straight to the main tomb.

However, looking at the slightly sloping passage with the wall on the ground, the two of them looked at each other and then they gave up the passage and chose the smooth passage on the right side of the main entrance.

A sloping passage with a wall on the ground probably means there is a rolling stone trap, which they encountered in another tomb before. That kind of sloping downward channel is very deep, in fact it is a dead end.

Halfway through, when people stepped on the imperceptible floating bricks on the ground, the mechanism was touched. The mezzanine of the wall at the top of the passage suddenly opened, and a solid ball the size of the entire passage was pushed from the wall, all the way down, rolling faster and faster.

In the end, the ball will roll to the dead end of the inclined passage. As for the unlucky ghost in the passage, it is estimated that it has been crushed into meat sauce.

At that time, after Thor and Shuggs triggered the mechanism, they rushed to find that it was a dead end, and the huge stone ball rolled in, carrying the rumbling momentum and loud noise, making the two of them almost unsteady in the trembling passage.

Feeling helpless, Saul knelt down and touched the corner, and finally found that there was still life. The entire passage is square, and the round stone ball rolls through it. There are actually tiny gaps in the four corners when passing by.

At that time, the two men occupied a corner of the wall and squeezed into the corner like two geckos. While stretching their hands and feet, their palms were close to the sides of their legs and their toes were stretched.

Relying on this method that was not a solution, the two finally escaped the death by relying on their thin bodies. At that time, Thor felt that the stone ball was almost rubbing his nose, and he could clearly smell the decayed smell of dead moss on the surface of the stone ball.

If the body is strong or fatter, or the head grows a few times larger, it is estimated that he would have embraced the gods a long time ago.

It was the sequelae left by that thrilling, and now both of them are deeply afraid of this kind of inclined wall passage.

Walking in a smooth passage, the two still did not relax their guards, because there were also more organs in this passage, and more.

Thor held the long sword and slapped the walls on both sides from time to time. This kind of tunnels were actually ground thorns.

It is not difficult to observe carefully, such as the kind of floor tiles with densely packed holes and holes on the surface. Once you step on it carelessly, the poison-coated steel thorns under the floor will suddenly bounce from the holes and pierce the instep. Without effective detoxification methods, you will undoubtedly die.

This kind of steel thorns sometimes burst out suddenly from the walls on both sides, in addition to walking too much, it can also cause rock falling on the top.

After only a short walk, the two have escaped two clusters of ground thorns.

When arriving in the middle of the passage, a fork in different directions appeared. Just after turning into the fork and walking for a few steps, Sol's face suddenly changed.

There was a seemingly stable floor on the ground that had no flaws, but Sol stepped on it and found that his feet felt wrong. Almost at the same time as the beating sound of the trivial spring came from under the floor, Saul had turned quickly and threw Shuggs to the ground.

Almost at the same time they fell to the ground, the sound of bowstrings was heard at the end of the tunnel.

"Zheng~" The heavy metal crossbow pierced the entire passage in a flash, hitting the horizontal wall at the end of the passage, making a crashing sound.

Saul got up angrily, grabbed Shuggs's skirt and pushed him against the wall.

"Damn, what's the matter with you?" Saul asked.

Fortunately, Thor always felt that Shuggs was in an unstable state, so he kept his eyes on him, otherwise Shuggs would have died at the moment when the mechanism was touched.

In the past, Shuggs would only hide faster than Sol, but when Sol turned and subconsciously pounced on Shuggs just now, he found that this guy was a little sluggish, and he stuck there without any response.

At that moment, Thor's heart was tight, as if soaking in a glacier, for fear that he would have to face a painful loss when he reached out half a minute late.

Originally, Thor thought that Shuggs was only slightly ill, but now he thoroughly recalled that Shuggs was in an adventurous state, clearly he was looking for death.

What puzzled Saul was that since there was a problem with his body, why Shuggs did not take a good rest and proposed some adventure plan instead, and he had to hold on.

Being dragged by the collar, Shuggs looked pale and weak, and leaned on the wall with one hand.

What really made Sol's heart beat wildly was that he found that Shuggs was crying silently.

"You...what's wrong with you brother? No matter what? Tell me... Remember? I said at the bottom of the well, no matter how difficult it is, we will face it together." Looking at Shuggs, Saul shuddered and released his hand, and hugged his old friend's shoulder tightly.

"Come with me for a while, brother, it should be almost there." Finally, Shuggs raised his arm and wiped it on his face, then patted Thor's hand.

"Almost there? Where?" Sol asked excitedly.

"Excuse me, please go ahead, I think I might go a little bit slower." Shuggs waved his hand, obviously without the intention of answering.

Thor took a deep look at him, and finally walked ahead again with the sword in his hand.

After reaching the end of the passage, a crack suddenly appeared on the road, and it was not bottomed.

Strictly speaking, this is not a trap, because the gap is obvious. However, falling is also mortal. Except for the damage caused by falling from a high altitude, the bottom of the fracture is usually equipped with poison-coated steel thorns to ensure that the prey is dead.

Thor shook his wrist and threw the torch to the opposite passage, and found that the distance between the two passages was not wide.

Looking back at Shuggs, who was slowly walking towards the wall while holding the torch in one hand, Saul took a few steps back and jumped to the opposite side with a run-up.

Picking up the torch on the ground, Thor threw the torch into the passage ahead. The empty passage was not much different from those passed by before, and he didn't see any enemies stuck in it.

He was about to look back and ask Schugs how he was going to come over, when he turned around, Thor's heart suddenly tightened to the extreme.

In the passage behind him, it was pitch black at this time.

Shuggs seemed to be missing.
