Chapter 115 Poor Priests

There are no monsters or any mechanisms in the unfolded gate, but it is more troublesome than those things. Behind the gate is actually a lobby, and what's worse is that there are many people gathering here at this time, and they seem to be conducting some kind of sacrificial activity. These people were also surprised by our sudden appearance, and they all looked at me and Bai Lang in a daze. I carefully walked out of the stone door that had been punched through, and then looked back, and I immediately knew that I was going to be in big trouble!

The place we penetrated looks like a wall from this side, and there are a large number of murals and texts on the wall. The most eye-catching one is the huge sun sign made of gold directly above the mural.

"Oh my God! This is the temple of the Sun God!" Bai Lang was also shocked when he saw the sign.

When Bai Lang said it, I felt a chill in my back. I slowly turned my head and saw thousands of pairs of angry eyes. A bald man wearing a gold pendant suddenly pointed at me and shouted: "Guard, catch this intruder."

A group of heavily armed soldiers quickly rushed in from outside the hall. Judging from this posture, they probably planned to cut us into pieces first and then slowly study why we suddenly appeared here.

"Wait a minute! This is a misunderstanding." Even though I knew it probably wouldn't work, I tried it anyway.

As expected, the guards on the opposite side showed no reaction at all, while the people inside the hall quickly separated and some of them withdrew. Another part picked up the staff. There are obviously several high-level priests here, and the priests of the Sun God can attack magic!

"Run back." I reminded Bailang as I turned around and ran.

As soon as we were less than ten meters out of the passage, we were driven back into the passage by thousands of troops. We were really unlucky today.

As I ran, I asked: "Bai Lang, are you sure where Mamoth's scent leaves from?"

"I don't know, the smell at the exit is very messy, but I think there's no branch road there, so it shouldn't be wrong, right?"

"But those people outside are obviously holding sacrificial activities. If Mamos runs out of there first. It makes no sense that those people are still holding sacrificial activities peacefully?"

"Is there a secret branch nearby?" Bailang is indeed a monster dedicated to guarding the mausoleum, and he has a high understanding of things like tunnels.

"I don't know, I have to go back and take a look anyway. But we have to get rid of these guys behind first."

"How is it there?" Bailang pointed to the front with his nose. At the corner over there, there is a small shadow due to the installation problem of the luminous stone in the channel, and we only need that small shadow.

I turned over and rode on Bai Lang's back, and then Bai Lang jumped into the black shadow. The guards chasing us thought we were going to hit the wall out of mind, but who knew that we suddenly disappeared after rushing over. The guards were stunned for a moment. After a while, a guard shouted: "There must be a portal there, go and look for it."

A large number of guards rushed to the place where we disappeared to search, but they could not find anything because there was nothing there in the first place. Bai Lang's type is a shadow beast, and his special skills include a shadow move. As long as it is within the visible range, or has just been reached, as long as there are shadows and white waves, it can be used as a teleportation point.

At this time, at the entrance of the passage, several priests were standing at the entrance of the passage and discussing the passage. Apparently they didn't know there was a secret passage here. Although the passage was illuminated by magic stones, they were still too dark compared to the sun, so the few people standing at the entrance of the passage still left a clear shadow in the passage. Bailang and I suddenly emerged from the shadows of these people, shocking the priests.

No matter how powerful the priests of the Sun God are, they are not a melee profession. At such a close distance, they had no time to chant the incantation. Bailang and I knocked down these priests in a few seconds. Bailang quickly put his ear to the side wall and tapped the wall with his paws. I was doing the same thing on the other side.

"Over here." Bailang found a problem.

I quickly went over and tapped on both sides with my hands. There is indeed a big difference in the sound, and there must be a fork in the road here. "Back away quickly, I'll break it open."

"No need. Did you notice the lighting magic stone above our heads? Press it."

I jumped up and pressed it down. The front wall suddenly retreated inward silently, and then began to sink downwards into the ground. A narrow passage that could only accommodate one person appeared in front of us. This damn authentic designer is so cunning. A passage more than ten meters long is closed by a gate. Anyone would think that the passage continues to extend forward. No one would think that the real passage actually turns to the left.

After we entered the passage, the rock gate automatically closed the entire passage, and the narrow passage became dark. Bailang and I can see things without light. So darkness has no effect on us. Move forward quickly along the passage. Not long after walking, we suddenly encountered a corner, followed by a downward spiral staircase.

I followed the spiral staircase down and around for an unknown number of times. It felt like my head was spinning before I finally got to the end. After exiting the spiral stairwell, there was actually a dungeon, and it was very huge. Looking at its size, even a labor camp can't fit it in. The dungeon is divided into several floors, the upper two floors are prison cells, and the lower floor is the interrogation office. Most people will definitely not want to continue after finding this place, but Bailang's nose is not something that can be deceived by everyone. On the first floor of the interrogation room, there were three lock beds placed side by side in a very common place. This thing was a very cruel instrument of torture. The death penalty can even be carried out directly on it. Originally, this thing was nothing special, but Bailang's nose told us that Mamos had been near it.

Bailang said to me with great certainty: "That guy must have been here. If I guessed correctly, this lock bed must have a mechanism."

I looked at the bed lock and said, "I believe you are right, but this mechanism is not easy to find."

Bai Lang turned the winch on the bedside. That thing controlled the lock on the bed. Turning the winch could stretch the person locked on the bed in five directions, or tear it apart directly. "This should be the mechanism. This thing has the strongest smell here. He must have 'touched' this thing. This is how I found the mechanism at the entrance of the passage."

I grabbed the winch and turned it around for a long time, but there was no other reaction at all except the iron chain on the lock bed moving with the winch. "It seems that this is not so easy to open. But this is just a bed. Summon, King Kong." King Kong, who shrank to the size of a normal gorilla, was summoned again. You don’t have to be a fool to leave a ready-made crane. "Help get this thing out of the way."

King Kong rushed to the bed and hugged the head of the iron-locked bed, and then roared. There was only a squeaking sound of metal twisting, and the all-metal iron-locked bed was forcibly lifted halfway. Not only was the bed itself made of metal, it was also riveted to the ground. But King Kong's power was too great, and he just lifted the end he was holding. But the other end was still fixed to the ground, so he actually twisted this half. Bright light immediately emitted from the opened half of the bed, proving that our guess was correct.

King Kong supported the ground with one hand, grabbed the curved half of the bed with the other and pushed it to both sides, causing the crack to open wider amid a sound of metal twisting. King Kong went around to the other end, grabbed the opened part, and kept pulling back. The entire bed was finally pulled down completely. After putting away King Kong, Bailang and I jumped down together.

There is a closed room down here, not a new secret passage. The light in the room was very bright, and it was obviously not a place used to confine people. The entire room is less than twenty square meters in total and can be seen at a glance. Apart from some "messy" things in the room, there was only a cabinet standing against the wall. There is no other way. At this time, the broken cabinet was still shaking. Even the fool knew that someone was hiding inside, and this person was shaking with fear, causing the cabinet to shake.

I didn't rush to open the cabinet, but first summoned Jingjing and Lingling to guard the exit, and then released Yeyue, Xiaochun and Ling to prevent him from resisting. After everything was arranged, I walked to the cabinet and suddenly opened the cabinet door.

"Ah!...Don't kill me...I don't know...Please let me go...I know it's wrong...I'll give it all to you...I'll give you everything...!" Mamos shrank in horror In the corner of the cabinet, he kept changing the position of his arms in the hope of blocking possible attacks.

"I'm not here to kill you. Come out quickly."

"Impossible, that's what you said last time."

"I really am not!"

"I won't believe it." Mamos still refused to come out.

It seems that persuading this guy directly is useless. "Okay then. Even if I come to kill you, it won't have any effect if you hide in the closet, right?"

Mamos was stunned for a moment, and then he really crawled out of the cabinet, but this time he hugged me and pushed me hard, begging me to let him go. No matter how I explained it, he always believed that I was here to kill him, which made no sense at all. This guy must have persecutory paranoia, always imagining that someone is going to kill him.

"Okay, okay, we are here to kill you, we admit it." Ling suddenly interrupted my explanation. He directly admitted that we were here to kill him.

Strange things happened. After knowing that we were here to kill him. Instead, Mamos became quiet. He sat on the floor blankly and muttered to himself: "After all these years, you still refuse to let me go? Oh! Forget it. My companions are gone, and there is no point in my life. You can kill me if you want. Well. But can I make a request before I die?"

Just as I was about to explain, Ling took the lead and said, "As long as it's not too much."

Mamos asked me frustratedly: "I just want to know how you left that passage."

"Which paragraph are you referring to?"

"It's the passage where you were sealed off, where I said you couldn't catch me."

"Oh, that's what you're talking about! It's nothing. One of my controlling spirits is particularly strong. We just used brute force to push the wall open."

"Impossible!" Mamos asked in confusion: "Don't you feel any discomfort in there?"

"Uncomfortable? Why should we be uncomfortable?"

Mamos began to mutter to himself again: "It doesn't make sense! I clearly placed the divine power gem in the middle of that passage, so your divine power should be completely suppressed!"

"What did you just say?" I lifted Mamos up from the ground. "You said the power gem is in the passage we were just trapped in?"

"Yes." Mamos nodded with some horror: "That's why I wonder why you can still come out after being deprived of your divine power."

After hearing what Mamoth said, I reached out and threw him out, turned around and ran out. Mamos groaned as she was thrown down. After getting up, I found that my magic pet and I had already gone out. He climbed out of the basement and shouted to us who had already run far away: "Aren't you going to kill me?"

"No time!"

This paranoid man is always thinking about someone trying to kill him, and I don't have that time. The Stone of Divine Power is a gem that can suppress divine power. Unexpectedly, I walked under him without noticing. But I think Mamos was going to use that thing as a trap to deal with the gods who were chasing him, so that thing must have been disguised.

Go back along the original path until you reach the narrow passage. The mechanism to go back from here is more obvious. It's just a hanging ring, just pull it and it's done. After the passage slowly opened, I jumped out quickly, and saw the priests on the ground who had just been knocked unconscious by us, humming and trying to get up, obviously having just regained consciousness. But before they could get up, I gave each of them another blow, and several priests lay down again before they could get up.

After turning into the passage, Ling and Xiaochun took the initiative to say that it was not convenient for them to move at high speed in the passage and asked me to take them back first and release them when needed. I only left Yeyue and Bailang to help. Everyone else took it back. I returned to my human form and ran forward on the white waves. Bailang was very accustomed to this kind of underground secret passage. He didn't touch the ground at all, but relied entirely on the reaction force of stepping on the wall to bounce forward in the passage, as fast as a whirlwind. This type of movement allows you to move forward at full speed within the channel. Even if other creatures were faster than Bailang in a straight line, they would never be his opponent in such a passage. Although Yeyue doesn't know how to bounce back, her big tail is really convenient, and her moving speed is only a little slower than Bailang.

We quickly rushed back to the passage where we were trapped. The palm prints left by King Kong are still clearly visible on the wall. Mamoth said that the Power Stone is on top of the passage here, but I forgot to ask where it is specifically! "Yeyue, take down those lighting stones first. If there are any, they should be hidden among those things."

Although Ye Yue usually only keeps her head at a height of about 1.7 meters, she has a big tail more than ten meters long after all. As long as she straightens her upper body, she can theoretically reach a place more than ten meters high. . The top of the passage is only more than two meters, and Yeyue can reach the top by straightening her body slightly. She first activated her fighting form to transform her arms into three pairs. Then start digging for those lighting gems. Six hands are convenient. Two hands hold a sword as a sheath stick, the other two hands are used to pick the gaps in the gem, and the other two hands can hold the gem underneath to prevent it from suddenly falling out and breaking.

Yeyue was digging for gems on it, causing the dust from the top to fall straight down. Bailang and I were fascinated when we stood below. Because Yeyue has goggles and doesn't open her eyes, she doesn't have to worry about this problem.

There are a total of seven lighting gems in this passage. All were dug up. But none of them are magical gems. In desperation, they had to intensify their search efforts and pry off the top of the entire passage. Although the strata here are mostly solid rocks. But a lot of gravel will still fall. After searching for a long time, there was nothing on the top. We couldn't find the power gem at all.

Yeyue asked while prying the stone slab away: "We won't be deceived by that old guy, right?"

"That shouldn't happen, right? There's no point in him lying to us!"

"Then why can't you find it until now? That guy seems to be mentally disturbed. Could it be... it's... this..." Yeyue said while angrily stabbing the sword into the rock layer above. Vent his anger, but just when the sword was about to completely enter the rock, it suddenly got stuck. It was not the feeling of stopping due to exhaustion of strength, but the feeling of stopping suddenly after hitting something immovable. The snake sword used by Yeyue was forged by herself. The material is said to come from the weapons originally used by the Nuwa Protoss. Although the sharpness is not as sharp as mine, it is absolutely unambiguous when it comes to cutting gold and breaking jade, but now it is actually stuck on something.

I was squatting on the ground checking each piece of gravel to see if there was any power stone. Suddenly, I felt that Yeyue's words were gone in the middle of her words. "What’s wrong with you?"

"I seem to have found it." Yeyue said in a very soft voice.

"Found it? What did you find?" I didn't react for a moment, but after two seconds I immediately realized that Yeyue was talking about the magical gem. "What? You found it? Where is it?"

Yeyue carefully lifted off the blocking stones, and then used her sword to open the surrounding rock formations. After that, we saw a prism-shaped corner that shone beautifully.

"Slow down, slow down." I was afraid that Ye Yue would damage the gem if she moved too much.

Yeyue replied nonchalantly: "That sword took a lot of effort just now. If it was really easy to break, it would probably have been broken. If it wasn't broken, it must be very strong." Yeyue put away her snake sword and said to her. I stretched out a hand: "Give me eternity."

I quickly handed Eternity over, and Yeyue turned him into a dagger. Then use it to gently chip away at the surrounding rocks. Although Egypt looks like a desert, the yellow sand is not all of it. There is a small amount of soil and hard rock layers under the yellow sand. Our current location is at their junction, so the stripping work is very troublesome.

Yeyue carefully cleared out the surrounding rocks, then grabbed the corner of the gem with her hands and shook it a few times. After trying to loosen it, she opened the back a little and tried again. This time it worked very well, the whole gem fell off with just a slight pull. But along with the gem came a large piece of soil. Yeyue shook off the dirt without a care, then lowered her body and brought the gem to my ground. "Looks like this is it."

"Haha, now you don't have to worry about being bullied by those gods."

I was laughing proudly when another piece of soil fell from the top of the cave, and it was very wet. Approximately the ooze between mud and dirt. This piece of mud happened to fall on my arm. I looked at it strangely, and then looked up at the entrance of the cave. In order to dig out this gem, we seemed to have dug a little deeper. There is obviously a large piece missing from the top of the passage. As I looked up, another piece of soft mud fell from the top and fell to the ground with a thud.

As the piece of mud fell to the ground, there were several popping sounds one after another, and several large pieces of soft mud fell down and fell to the ground. But I soon realized something was wrong. The soil falling from above became thinner and thinner, and the frequency was accelerating. Finally, yellow muddy water was almost flowing downwards.

Yeyue looked at me with a wry smile: "Isn't there a river above us?"

It wasn't really a river above our heads, but it wasn't much different than that. Above us is a lake. And it's a very large one. The fact that you enter a forest area after passing through the pocket at the beginning is actually a reminder. The only places where there can be forests in the desert are oases, and oases usually have relatively large deep-water lakes. We are obviously directly under the lake now, and it seems that we have missed the passage.

"They are here." A few dejected soldiers suddenly appeared deep in the passage. They were obviously the guards who had just chased us. They must have discovered that Bailang and I disappeared and continued to search forward. Now they must be returning helplessly because they didn't find us. They didn't expect to run into us halfway.

"Run." I pulled Yeyue and ran towards the temple of the Sun God. It's not that I'm afraid of the guards, it's just that this end is closer to the exit. And the top of the channel doesn't seem to last much longer.

I didn’t have time to look at the Power Gem either. Yeyue put it directly into her personal storage ring. Bailang quickly ran over and carried me on his back, then took the lead and ran towards the exit. Yeyue used her big tail to follow nimbly.

The guards at the back paid no attention to the dirt. They just chased us. In the already shaky passage, the vibration of so many people running at high speeds made the soil above become even looser. The yellow muddy water became thinner and thinner, and finally turned into a turbid water flow, and the mud at the edge of the hole began to fall off in large chunks, and the speed of the water flow continued to accelerate. When the guards were about halfway through, the water flow had turned into a high-pressure water column, but the soldiers obviously didn't pay attention to it.

There was a sudden bang, and the rock on top of that passage completely collapsed. The small opening instantly turned into a huge perforation, and a large amount of lake water poured into the underground passage.

The priests at the exit of the passage got up from the ground for the second time. Just as they rubbed their necks to adapt to the surrounding environment, they saw me galloping towards me on Bailang in the passage ahead. One of the people who seemed to be the officiant said viciously: "Haha, you actually dare to come back. I want you to be nice this time... look." His last word was almost inaudible because of the huge noise in the passage. It gave him a sense of crisis.

After Bailang and I turned the corner, Yeyue followed closely, and then a ball of white water splashed against the wall and turned into countless fragments, but more water turned this way. , rushed towards the exit along the passage.

As soon as the priests arrived and turned around, they were overtaken by the flood and us. With a loud bang, a huge water column took us, the priests and some guards to spray out from the entrance of the passage, jumping directly across the more than 100 meters wide hall and flying to the outside of the temple.

Some NPCs were preparing for sacrificial activities outside the temple. Unexpectedly, their great priest followed a few people of unknown origin and flew out of the hall on a water column. A large area of ​​people in the square outside the temple was instantly washed away by the flood, and various sacrificial utensils were scattered on the floor. Fortunately the water spray stopped after it sprayed. The water level of the lake is not higher than that of the temple, so all the lake water will not spurt out from here. Just now, it was just because the passage had just collapsed and some lake water spurted out due to the impact, so there was only one water column and it stopped.

"Bah! Bah!" Yeyue spit out water and got up from the ground. "Master, are you okay?"
