First Army? Leo, Jason, Nielsen and Catherine were all confused when they heard the name and didn’t understand what it meant.
Instead, Sean showed a surprised expression, took a belt that was about to fall from the hands of the high priest of Denny, and looked closely, slightly questioning: "You mean that these corpses are the first non-existent military?"
Leo, Catherine and they are not clear about the first army in the mouth of the high priest of Deny, but Sean has specially studied the materials of the Lanzi slave uprising for this underground trip.
Although most of the qualifications related to the slave uprising were destroyed by the royal family of the Franks, I have always liked the British royal family who is opposed to the royal family of the Franks, but they are willing to keep a part that can make the royal family embarrassed without being too irritating. The other party's secondary information, and about the qualifications of the First Army, Sean also saw it there.
There is no public opinion on whether the Yasin King established the First Army, because there is no First Army in any battle data that can be collected now, and everyone knows the First Army It all comes from a slave's diary.
It's just that because the slave himself had just learned to write when writing the diary, the handwriting was very sloppy, and he often wrote wrong vocabulary, so most people think that the first army was just caused by the wrong vocabulary of the slave. of.
"The first army is real." The high priest of Denny said with great affirmation: "The people who make up the first army are all the best gladiators in the Lanxi gladiator, so some people called the first army at the time. King Xin’s guards and guards.
He looked at the belt in his hand and the corpses on the ground, and said,
I didn’t expect that the First Army had died here before they could make a name for themselves in this world. "
"Is the best skill?" Leo walked into the corpse, casually glanced at the bones, found some traces of combat, and then analyzed: "They did not encounter a sudden attack, everyone was ready to attack. They were all killed by the attackers from the front, and the attackers had very sharp weapons and great strength. The combat power of the two was not at the same level."
Leo analyzed the clues found by the corpses, and the vice-brain system aggregated the clue information, the location of the corpses, the death situation, and other data together for analysis, and quickly formed a replay image of the battle, which killed these people when they died. The scene reappeared before his eyes.
After seeing the analyzed images, Leo stood up from the corpse and said to the crowd: "The thing that killed them has at least eight arms."
Everyone feels a bit ridiculous about Leo’s conclusion, but thinking about the gargoyles they saw before, they also think that Leo’s eight-armed attacker may not be without this possibility.
Just as the crowd was still immersed in King Yassin’s first army and was overwhelmed by the eight-armed attacker, Leo suddenly stood up and hurriedly exited the door, while also letting Catherine withdraw from the door .
"What happened?" Sean returned to the gate and asked without looking.
Leo stared at the front, inserted the king back into his waist, pulled out two battle axes, and said, "The sound of gears is coming."
Just as Leo’s voice just fell, others could also hear a faint sound of gears ringing in the passageway in front of the door, and it was getting louder and louder, feeling like something was approaching.
However, when the sound was very clear, and the high priests of Deni became extremely nervous, when they took out their weapons and were ready to fight at any time, Leo, who first reminded everyone, relaxed but raised his head to the top of the front passage. I looked at the past.
When the sound of the gear sounded so that everyone felt the enemy was not far in front, all the sound of the gear stopped, and then a fire was suddenly raised above the head, and the light of the fire was smooth from the top of the head. The stone wall reflected down and completely illuminated the whole passage behind the door.
At this time, you can see that the previous gear sound maker was a brazier hanging at the top of the channel. The gear sound just now should be the sound caused by the metal round basin falling from the top.
All the fires were burning fiercely in these metal circular basins suspended by iron chains. The number of the braziers could not be counted. In short, they extended to the end of the channel and could be seen at the end of sight.
When the firelight illuminates the entire channel, everyone except Leo, who has long been aware of the situation in the channel through the spiritual network, is shocked by everything in front of him, because the corpse they found is not just the door. , But the entire passage is covered.
In addition to the corpses of the soldiers of the First Army, there were more than a dozen gargoyle-like wreckages. The shape of these wreckages is very strange, all of which are a humanoid lower body with four humanoid upper bodies to form an incomparable piece. Gargoyle, and the shape of this gargoyle coincides with Leo's eight-armed attacker.
Compared with the narrow and low channel opposite the fissure abyss, the channel in front of it is obviously wider and taller, which is more than eight meters high and six meters wide, but even so, for a large number of people The first army is still too narrow.
I can imagine the scene at that time. The people of the First Army were stacked in this passage. More than a dozen conjoined stone statues waved eight sharp blades. They were not afraid of rushing into the pile of people. Any hacking can kill A large number of soldiers, and the only thing the first army can do is to destroy these dozen stone monsters with human life.
"It's really tragic!" Even the person with the highest interest in Sean could not help but sigh when he saw the scene in front of him.
"Let's go! I hope there are no such monsters in front of me." Leo, who had seen the more terrible battlefield, did not rush out too much. When the people recovered from the shock, they stepped forward.
Others saw this situation, and did not think about anything else, so they quickly followed.
At first, because of some concerns, the people carefully avoided these corpses when walking, but later Leo accelerated his pace, and everyone did not care about the concerns in his heart, and stepped on the corpses directly.
Therefore, the cracking bones in the channel constantly sounded, making people feel very sad and could not help but shudder.
Just as everyone's attention was attracted by the corpses in front of him, Leo, who was in the front lane, turned his attention to the brazier above his head.
Just now, Leo smelled a unique smell, and this unique smell he only burned to the monster before, the body of the monster still smelled after the body fluid evaporated, this is the kind of body fluid burning process. The unique smell produced.
Through the Spirit Net, he found that the material burning in the brazier was a special grease. Even after so many years, these greases still did not rot or evaporate, and these greases are also very flammable. Now, this is consistent with the monster's body.
Leo feels that if these fats are actually made from the body fluids of those monsters, as he guessed, then it is not difficult to guess what these fats are made of, considering the origin of those monsters, And it also made him feel that these Neilgard people might not be as innocent as Catherine said.
Although this passage is very long, because the road is straight and there are no bends, the time it takes to reach the end of the passage is much less than the passage across the abyss before walking.
I don't know if the fighting that took place here hundreds of years ago has destroyed all the defenses here. The pedestrians along the way did not encounter any attacks.
On the contrary, there are as many as forty kinds of broken one-piece stone statues encountered. All the stone statues, without exception, the ancient wizards and wonders on their bodies have been completely destroyed, which makes everyone wonder whether these stone statue monsters may It is the entire defense force here.
At the end of the passage is a not too large, artificially excavated cave, the size of a general hotel lobby, the interior is very empty, there is nothing extra, just another bronze gate opposite the exit of the passage and a stone in the middle of the cave Taiwan is quite noticeable.
But the most confusing thing is that there is no corpse in this cave, as if there is an invisible force at the exit of the cave that blocked the corpse in the passage.
Unlike the previous bronze gate, this bronze gate now has no rust. Under the light of the brazier, the surface shines with a golden light, and it looks very solemn.
Compared to the expensive bronze gate, the stone platform in the center of the cave looks so insignificant.
The surface of the stone platform does not have any seemingly mysterious and luxurious patterns, and the overall shape has not been carefully carved. It looks like the person who excavated the cave made a stone pier for rest, but just forgot to change it when leaving This stone platform is erased.
However, such a common stone platform is more valuable in Leo’s eyes than the well-preserved bronze gate, because Leo found that his spiritual network could not penetrate the stone platform, just like the previous high The energy field is also excluded.
In this way, when the crowd walked to the bronze gate, studied the Nilgade characters and patterns on it, and considered how to open the gate, Leo walked to the stone platform in the middle of the cave and put his hand on the stone. On stage.
"Unknown psionic props, unknown functions, not absorbable."
Leo looked at the analysis results that appeared in front of him, and he was a little puzzled. Although the results were analyzed by the para-brain system, Leo still thought that the results were wrong or incomplete.
Because the moment he touched the stone platform, he had an inexplicable feeling that this stone platform should be the source of the high-energy force field that had just disappeared.
"Is this stone platform very special?" Jason was not interested in the characters and patterns on the bronze door. He followed Leo. He saw Leo's very focused research on this stone that was too ordinary in his opinion. Taiwan, couldn't help but wonder.
"It's not special in other places, but don't you think it's special here?" Leo smiled and asked Jason back, and said to Catherine who was trying to push the door again, but the door was unresponsive: "Catherine, can you come and touch this stone platform? This thing may need the Neilgard to activate just like the door just now."
"What is this?" Catherine walked over and looked at this stone platform that made her feel very ordinary. Although she was a little puzzled, she still touched the stone platform according to Leo's request.
When Catherine touched the stone platform, Leo was also prepared for the unexpected situation, and everyone else was very vigilant, but it was surprising that after Catherine touched, there was no reaction and change, just like Leo just now. The same when touched.
The puzzled Leo asked Catherine to touch the different parts of the stone platform a few times, but the results were the same.
Sean next to saw that the only Catherine who could open the bronze door was called to do some useless things, and could not help shouting: "Rather than touching the useless stone platform, consider how to open this door!"
"How do you know it's useless?" Jason, who didn't like Sean, responded immediately, and said a little irritably: "You're not this stone."
Sean was too lazy to dispute with a crude man like Jason, and said directly to Leo: "This stone is obviously the Neilgard people deliberately arranged props to confuse people. Think about it, people outside came through the passage. At a glance, there is a stone platform here~EbookFREE.me~ I will definitely wonder why this seemingly ordinary stone platform is here, and think that there must be something installed in this stone platform, so I will focus on it. On the stone platform, I forgot that this door is the focal point of the whole cave."
The high priest next to Deny obviously disagreed with Sean’s words and retorted: "When the building was started, the Nirgaards also controlled the entire underground city state, so the people who entered and left here must be all Nirgaards. Do you think that the Neilgard people will lay out such a stone platform just to let themselves suffer this kind of scam that is not fooled at all?"
Sean asked back: "What do you think about this stone platform?"
"I don't know, I just think..." Deni high priest touched the stone platform with a dignified color on his face and said, "This stone platform is very dangerous."
Although the high priest of Denny could not be as sensitive to the energy field as Leo’s spiritual web, he could immediately discover the field of spiritual power on the stone platform after entering the cave, but after touching it with his own hands, he It was obvious that the strength of the force field contained in Shitai made him thrill.
At this moment, Nelson, who had never spoken, suddenly said, "Is it an altar?"
said that everyone immediately wanted to refute, but soon they realized that Nelson's words seemed to be no problem.
Including Leo, almost everyone heard images of the altar, and some images appeared in their minds, such as tall platforms with religious decorations, such as solemn religious buildings around.
It's just that these ideas are not true. Since there can be an altar with a strong religious atmosphere, why can't there be such an altar looking plain?
