Chapter 655: A Magnificent View Ahead
With the efforts of Metatron and the other two scholars, the black marble door finally pulled open some mechanical locks after the push-type mechanism fell regularly, unlocking the door. Lin En also understood that the ruins were not only a mental job, but also a physical job. The effort required to push the stone door open and the different strengths of the mechanism could make ordinary people feel desperate.
If you are not an extraordinary person, it is really hard to say that you are competent for these jobs.
However, Lin En was very curious. After hundreds of years, how did the mechanism in the stone door maintain its lock and open? What is its operating energy? How does it work?
It can only be said that everything that can still move in the ruins seems so bizarre and interesting after being covered by a mysterious veil for a long time.
Accompanied by the rustling of dirt and dust.
After the heavy stone door was opened a crack, everyone could clearly feel the air flow blowing out from it. The temperature of the air flow was obviously lower, bringing a cool feeling to everyone. This is good information. If it is dead inside, the members of the [Truth Seeking Society] who are responsible for finding a way to get down to the ruins will have to work hard to get the air down, or they can only wait for a while.
Generally speaking, this situation is rare, because in addition to geological activities, ruins are often considered as a basic living condition for people in them when they are built.
Unless it is a Beyonder who deliberately disgusts people.
"Everyone, don't go in yet. I'll measure the situation inside."
Metatron was half-crouching near the door. After the stone door opened, he was the first to speak, waving his hand towards the inside with the light of the wind lamp. With the flashing of the spiritual light on his hand, the air flowing out from the inside became more rapid, and the airflow seemed to be circling around his hand.
The wind lamp light was blown unsteadily and shook, adding an unstable horror to the whole scene out of thin air.
The intensity of the airflow was not violent, and it did not seem to be a lethal ability. Metatron quickly completed the comparison of the air, clapped his hands and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The airflow inside is better than in the tunnel. Airflow detection, humidity test, and toxicity measurement have not shown any problems. It's just that the water vapor may be a little heavy, but I think this is not caused by the mechanism, but because the underground palace is built on an underground river. If we want to enter the underground palace, we can't play a role as good as you."
"And..."
"From some of the text descriptions on the door, the area of the underground palace should not be small. It is probably a vertical one. It should not be too complicated in terms of plane. This kind of underground palace emphasizes symmetry, so it will be easy to crack. However, there is a problem. It will be very large. It should be the experimental site of the hunters at the time."
The other two scholars nodded in agreement. As assistants, they agreed very much.
"What does a large volume mean?" Leticia, who also came to participate in the dungeon activity, asked curiously. This was her first time to go to the ruins. Since she went down the tunnel, her eyes have been rolling around.
"Little doll, this means that there may be a lot of warm and hospitable hosts waiting for us bad guests who didn't come in person. Their enthusiasm may be far beyond that of ordinary people. The main course of the banquet will be prepared slowly by the guests, and the tempers of those hosts are probably not very good." Bill's slightly teasing words slightly diluted the originally somewhat uneasy atmosphere.
Ye Funi's lips curved and flicked the blade on her arm vigorously, which showed how these bad guests would respond to the warm hospitality of their hosts.
"If it were me, I would definitely not be in a good temper if I was locked up in the underground palace."
Lin En joked.
"Maybe there is a king sleeping inside."
Metatron's final humorous ending made everyone smile. The humor here can only be understood by those who have a little understanding of mainland culture, because this joke tells about a very long-lived king who outlived the mainland's king competitors with her long life and won the honor. Unfortunately, she finally lay in a coffin, but the interesting thing is that the body of this royal member has become an object with an unusually strong [Spring] phase. Some people swear that on the day of the funeral, the messenger of the Mother Goddess came to mourn this long-lived person.
After easing the atmosphere, it was time for the main course.
Crossing the stone door to the inside is the scope of the underground palace. What amazed everyone was that the underground palace was designed with large stones stacked. No one knew where the hunters got so many stones and transported them underground. Of course, it may be that the original stone caves underground were carved and transformed.
First, there is a relatively narrow stone passage.
Although it is narrow, there are no mechanisms.
The extraordinary people who are members of the group are a little too cautious. If there are still mechanisms in such a place, then the extraordinary people who once lived in it are too weird. They have to be nervous to come to their own nest. In the words of one of the scholars, it is a nest. There may be traps on the outside, but the fewer traps there are, the less harmful they are. The traps inside may just be some doors that cannot be opened due to lack of maintenance.
After all, going to the ruins is not like robbing a tomb. Tomb robbing has many traps.
A scholar accidentally said something strange, which slightly exposed his special expertise in this area.
This kind of narrow and winding terrain, when there are many people, even if you know it is safe, you will still feel a little uneasy and hope to leave here quickly.
After walking in the stone passage for about two minutes, there was a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
If Lin En were to describe it, there would be a magnificent view in front.
When they walked out of the stone passage, they saw a very wide underground space. The light of the wind lamp could not illuminate the edge at all, as if a huge black monster was crawling in it. This kind of darkness spread downwards. The first floor of the underground palace was not capped. A crack could be seen in the middle, running from top to bottom. Water vapor was blowing up from the inside of this crack. It looked like an underground river.
This underground palace was indeed built on the underground river, presenting a piled layout.
What was even more magical was that in the mechanism that was constantly running in the underground palace, there were some lighting lines embedded in the stone walls of the underground palace, so that the underground palace was not completely dark, but a kind of weird blue.
It seemed that it had sensed the arrival of guests.
The underground palace was not quiet to begin with. Suddenly, a faint hissing and roaring sound came from afar. The sound seemed to be a signal that brought the entire underground palace back to life from semi-sleep.
