Chapter 400
Chapter 202 Entering the Real Underground Palace
But at this moment, the coffin-like thing on the stone steps sank slightly.
Then, some arrows flew out from the thing on the wall that looked like a human face turntable. The direction of the arrows was 360 degrees without blind spots, so they could only dodge.
Even Chen Wenjin, who was standing in front of the stone door, was affected. She had no time to look for the mechanism and could only turn around and wave away the hidden arrows.
Fortunately, the number of these hidden arrows was not too many, and they stopped in about a minute.
But they also lost a few people on their side, all of them were Mop's brothers, and now only Mop was left alone.
After the hidden arrows stopped, the little brother jumped onto the stone steps without saying a word. He began to chop the long worms pressing on the coffin.
"This is a gravity mechanism. After the worms suck blood, they will increase the weight of the coffin. The coffin will sink, thus triggering the mechanism. Go and help, otherwise we don't know what the next round of mechanisms will be." Wu Xie explained their current situation.
"Wu Xie, look, there are still many circles of stone bags around the face that have not been opened. We suffered heavy losses just after opening one circle. If we open all of them at the same time, it will probably be very difficult."
"Don't worry about these for now, just chop off those worms. If they don't reach the weight, they won't trigger the mechanism."
Wu Xie called out, and quickly jumped onto the stone platform to join Brother's action, and Fatty followed closely behind.
The three of them kept slashing at the worms wrapped around the coffin, but after a while, they heard the fat man's voice:
"This method doesn't work. We cut the worms down, and the blood remains in the pool and is sucked back by them. In this cycle, aren't we doing useless work?"
"As long as we are faster, our slashing speed is faster than the blood sucking speed of the worms, this method should be feasible."
As soon as Wu Xie finished speaking, he saw that the coffin sank a little deeper. Then, the human face turntable opened another circle of bulges.
This time, it was no longer an arrow that flew out, but a pheasant neck.
As soon as the pheasant neck flew out of the human face turntable, it attacked everyone directly.
"Leave the snake to me? You cut the worms."
After saying this, the little brother flew down the stone platform directly. Wu Xie and the fat man were left on the stone platform to continue fighting the worms.
After Mop chopped off a pheasant neck flying towards him in panic, he shouted in the direction of Fatty in fear: "Fat Master, save me!"
"You're on your own! Can't you see that Fatty Master is busy!"
Fatty only had time to say this sentence, and then he concentrated on dealing with those long insects.
He had to speed up, otherwise the coffin would sink again, and it would be more troublesome to open the third level.
While Wu Xie and his friends chopped at the insects, they had to be careful of the sudden attack of the pheasant necks.
Fortunately, God will not let down those who work hard, and the insects finally gradually decreased under the efforts of the two of them.
"The insects have been reduced so much, the weight is not enough to open the mechanism, hurry up and get ashore." Wu Xie chopped at the insects while observing the movement of the human face turntable.
Seeing that the mechanism that opened a small crack did not continue to open, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But he did not dare to relax, after all, when the second mechanism was opened just now, many pheasant necks flew in, and now they have not been cleaned up.
"Let's go..." Fatty also shouted.
Just when they were about to leave the stone platform, there was a sudden tremor from underground, and several people were shaken and staggered.
"Earthquake?" Fatty looked around in confusion.
When the earthquake occurred, the pheasant neck did not attack Wu Xie and the others, but scattered, as if frightened by something.
"The pheasant neck seemed to be frightened by something."
"Is there something more terrifying than the pheasant neck here?" Fatty was a little worried.
"Don't worry about it, let's go ashore first. There are still those long worms in the water, and they will be sucked blood again in a while."
As soon as Wu Xie finished speaking, the coffin on the stone platform suddenly rose slowly again. Then, they heard the sound of something slowly opening.
Chen Wenjin turned around in shock and saw that the stone door before was actually slowly falling down. Then a winding stone staircase behind the stone door was revealed.
When the stone door completely dropped to the ground and could allow people to pass through, Chen Wenjin ran in without saying a word, and even ran directly up the stairs.
Wu Xie and his friends were not willing to lag behind, so they chased after him directly...
Until they ran all the way up the stairs, they saw a platform on the stairs. There was a person sitting on the platform, facing the direction of the stairs, facing Wu Xie and his friends who had come up.
Everyone was shocked to see the person sitting cross-legged on the stone platform. It was a woman. Both her head and neck were hung with jewelry.
"Could this be...?" Fatty didn't dare to say the last three words, Queen Mother of the West. After all, he didn't quite believe it after seeing the legendary Queen Mother of the West.
"The one who can sit on the throne should be Queen Mother of the West herself, right?"
"This Queen Mother of the West is well maintained. What kind of technology does it take to keep her from decaying for thousands of years?" Fatty was very puzzled by this.
"Do you think the legendary Queen Mother of the West could sit here?" Wu Xie asked back, as a reminder.
"No, this is not the Queen Mother of the West." Chen Wenjin immediately retorted.
"This face is not right, it seems like she is wearing a mask." The fat man also felt more and more weird.
After that, several people began to check everything on the platform.
The fat man and the mop walked to a 'person' holding a spear and wearing armor standing on the side like a guard.
The fat man carefully observed the man and couldn't help sighing: "Looking at this face, this person should also wear a mask, but the mask fell off. It seems that this mask not only has the function of changing appearance, but also has the function of preservation!"
"Fat Master, you said that the Queen Mother of the West made a fake and inferior product to pretend to be herself and sit here, so what did she do?" The mop asked with a puzzled look.
"You ask me, who should I ask?" The fat man looked at the mop a little puzzled. If he really had such a divine calculation, he would not have been so miserable.
The fat man then said, "It's hard to say. This is the secret that Queen Mother of the West doesn't want people to know."
"Queen Mother of the West asked someone to pretend to be her and stay here. She must have left and gone to another place." Chen Wenjin also guessed so.
The fat man and the others turned back to the 'Queen Mother of the West' who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Mop looked at the gold and silver jewelry hanging on her body and head, and couldn't help complaining.
"I was wondering why I didn't see any treasures along the way! It turns out that all of them were carried by this old woman."
Mop said, and wanted to go forward to pick up the gold and silver jewelry.
But he was scared back by the fat man's words.
