"The inscriptions are a kind of guide. For example, when you turn on your phone, it's like an icon. Of course, it's also a kind of revelation and warning. " Lin Dong explained to them, "There are actually three real underground palaces. Other than the fake tomb above, there's also the real imperial mausoleum. However, under the imperial mausoleum, there's also an arcane realm. These inscriptions are the marks and guides for the various areas of the arcane realm. Some places, such as the core of the arcane realm, if those without the qualifications enter, they'll be expelled by the arcane realm, and their lives may be in danger. Some places aren't so strict, and can allow some lifeforms to enter. Even if they're expelled, it'll be relatively gentle and there won't be any danger. "
"So that's how it is." Yun You You nodded. She'd probed earlier and discovered that these inscriptions all had an extremely strong power protecting them. No matter how much time had passed, or even if the inscriptions had become blurry, the inscriptions hidden behind the inscriptions would not disappear.
"But." Lin Dong's words took a turn, "All those who enter without permission are trespassers and will inevitably be expelled."
"You mean mercenaries will be seen as trespassers by the arcane realm?" Qianjun asked.
"They might not even know of the arcane realm's existence! Not just the arcane realm, but from the moment they set foot in the entrance of the underground palace, they've already been judged as trespassers. "Lin Dong pointed at the stone tablets," Those who can't see the inscriptions naturally can't open them. If they can't open them, how can they obtain permission? We're no exception. We have to first open them and enter after obtaining their approval. Otherwise, we'll also be expelled by the protective power within the underground palace. "
"Then won't they be in danger?" Qianjun's tone carried a hint of worry. Xing Qianren was among the mercenaries. Although she didn't want to acknowledge him, she didn't want him to die here.
"We still don't know what's inside the underground palace. Everyone, take care of yourselves first!" Lin Dong didn't say he would definitely save them.
However, if it was convenient, he wouldn't just stand by and watch Xing Qianren.
After all, this Xing Qianren was Qianjun's older brother.
More helpers.
It was better than more enemies.
Moreover, he was the first to send a message about the foreign devils entering the underground palace. If they cooperated, then perhaps Xing Qianren would be useful. He probably had a pretty good circle in the West. For example, that valiant Griffon viewed Xing Qianren in a new light and secretly had the intention of roping him in. If he cooperated with Xing Qianren, some things would be relatively more convenient.
"Thank you!" Qianjun thanked Lin Dong with a voice as soft as a mosquito. No matter how much she didn't want to admit it, he was still her older brother. No matter how much she hated him, at the juncture of life and death, she still hoped that he would live and not die miserably in some corner of the underground palace.
"Take care of yourself first!" Lin Dong warned her not to let down her guard. Even if she was approved, there were still many traps inside.
These things would not recognize people!
He held the Violet Sun Pearl in his hand.
Lin Dong's hand lightly brushed across a few of the most crucial inscriptions.
Qianjun and Ye Qianru couldn't see, but Yun You You could see a little. She felt that the order Lin Dong had drawn should be some sort of combination. The entire process was an unsealing ceremony.
When he finished the last inscription, Lin Dong immediately stopped. The inscription patterns that were invisible to the naked eye immediately lit up and linked up the sequence, forming an extremely mysterious spirit design in the space. Before they disappeared, four golden points of flame-like light entered the heads of Lin Dong, Yun You You, Qianjun and Ye Qianru respectively. This meant that the four had obtained permission to enter the underground palace.
Qianjun and Ye Qianru couldn't see the specific process and reaction of this unsealing ceremony at all. They only felt Lin Dong pause.
There was a kind of heat immediately flowing down from the top of their heads.
Their entire bodies felt comfortable.
It was as if they were soaking in a hot spring. Their sweat pores also spread out.
"It's done. Let's go!" Lin Dong saw the mysteriousness of the spirit design and was very excited. The mysteriousness of this place was far beyond his imagination. It seemed that the treasures inside would be better than what he had expected. He just didn't know how powerful the traps and protective spirit design were.
There was a hall as big as a football field at the entrance of the underground palace.
The ground was paved with a kind of red stone.
A mercenary took out a match and rubbed it on the ground.
It rubbed against the ground.
Chi!
The match lit up.
Griffon looked a little excited. He was about to speak when Bord waved his hand. "You don't have to say anything. I understand your intentions! In fact, I was as excited as you when I first came here. Everything is new and I'm curious … This is my sixth time here. As a senior, let me tell all of you that the secrets here are things that you won't be able to understand even if you spend a lifetime studying them. You may have wondered before why we, the Eye of God, have invested so much in Dongshan. It's because of the Imperial Mausoleum! "
"If that's the case, why did you bring us here?" The gentleman from the Plantagenet Dynasty had always wanted to ask this question.
"Because we, the Eye of God alone, can't study all the secrets. I need more people, using more methods, to bring out the secrets of this place … Even so, I believe that even after a hundred years, the secrets of this place will not be able to be studied thoroughly. We have to hurry and bring more things out of here before the people from the Rabbit Dynasty react. When that time comes, we will slowly look for opportunities to cooperate! " Bord paused and thought for a moment. "To all of you who are lucky enough to enter the underground palace, I don't know if all of you can return alive, but I sincerely wish you all the best. No matter who you are, as long as you can bring out the treasures or a secret from here, we are willing to cooperate with you! The Eye of God doesn't lack money or materials. We only lack time! As long as you are willing to speak, we can negotiate any conditions! "
"Thank you, Mr. Pastor!" Griffon gave Bord a noble salute. "First of all, thank you for bringing us into the underground palace. Of course, we want to leave safely. Before that, we hope that you can tell us about your experiences. Any one of those experiences could save our lives. As for future cooperation, I believe that no one will reject the sincerity of the Eye of God. As long as there are enough conditions, we can discuss anything. "
"The entrance to the underground palace is here. This is the safest hall. If you go deep into the underground palace and can return here, then congratulations, you have at least saved your own life. "Bord nodded and introduced his experience to his subordinates and Griffon.
Lin Dong and Yun You You and the rest had already snuck outside the door.
Although they were hundreds of meters apart.
But for Lin Dong, it was still possible to eavesdrop a little. The mercenaries also cooperated and pricked up their ears to listen quietly. There was no noise.
Bord introduced, "I don't know which emperor's mausoleum belongs to in the history of the Rabbit Dynasty. We've searched through history and couldn't find any records of him. Only some bizarre and absurd folklore in the Dong Mountain area can be linked to him. Let's not look into the history first. The first thing we need to pay attention to is this huge underground palace. This underground palace has a total of nine levels. Rabbits are superstitious about the number nine. In their eyes, nine is the biggest number, so this emperor's mausoleum also has nine levels. "
"Nine levels?" The gentleman and Griffon nodded secretly. This was indeed the understanding of the ancient people of the Rabbit Dynasty. Nine was the biggest.
"The entrance hall of the underground palace that we are in now is the first level. It's also the smallest level in the entire underground palace." Bord said, "From here to the second level, there's only one passageway. Further down, there are two, then three, and so on. From the eighth level to the ninth level, there are nine passageways. Among the nine passageways, only one is the real passageway. I'm sorry, we've used countless lives to fill it, but we still haven't figured out which passageway is the real one. I don't recommend taking this risk, because there are enough treasures for you to move on the first eight levels. You didn't hear wrong, it's moving … Not to mention a few dozen of you, even thousands of people wouldn't be able to move all the gold and treasures without a month's time! "
"You didn't say the lowest nine levels, but the upper eight levels are already safe?" The gentleman asked.
"Are you kidding?" Bord denied with a straight face, "There's no such thing as safety in the underground palace! The mechanisms in there can take away a life at any time. If any of you look down on the craftsmanship of the ancient rabbit craftsmen, I guarantee that you'll die a horrible death here! "
"Haven't any safe passageways been opened all these years?" Griffon was a little puzzled. It's fine if you don't mention the safe passageway on the ninth level, but you should at least mention the one on the upper eight levels, right?
"Get rid of all these thoughts!" Bord laughed, "What is this place? Other than this hall, there's no other place that's safe! If you see a mechanism fall and think that it will never be activated again, then it will tell you that there's an infinite number of mechanisms here, so many that it's disgusting, enough to make you want to vomit! In order to prevent tomb robbers, the ancient emperors would do everything in their power to protect their tombs. You want to find a safe place inside? Dream on! Inside, the ancient rabbit left tens of thousands of skeletons. Those weren't the craftsmen who were buried with them, but the dead who entered to search for treasures. You'll see along the way that the entire army is buried inside. Compared to the army, how much of an advantage do you think you have with your numbers and strength? So, walk every step with the most reverent heart. This is the lesson I've learned after changing my companions five times! "
"…" Griffon didn't say anything after hearing this. Not only him, but all the mercenaries' hearts sank after hearing this.
"Then, are there still monsters like the Pinch Bug in the underground palace?" Enoko Kazama suddenly asked.
"Not only there are, but there are many." Bord nodded and said, "There are all kinds of insects and monsters inside. I dare say that you'll never see so many abnormal creatures in your lifetime. Friends, wealth and risk always exist together. If you want to get rich, if you want to obtain treasures and secrets, you'll have to fight with your lives. Nothing in this world is easy to obtain! Before you depart, I wish you all the best, because you'll find that luck is more important than strength. In here, humans are actually very fragile lives. Insects and monsters are the main characters. If you meet them, run as fast as you can. Anyway, there's enough space for you to run as fast as you can! If you can't run, then I'm sorry, but you can only stay here with the countless skeletons as companions. I believe that you won't be lonely, because there are too many dead people in this underground palace! "
"Let's go!" Bord's threat, on the contrary, aroused the anger and courage of Griffon and the others. Since they were already here, there was no reason to turn back. Whether they lived or died, whether they had a bountiful harvest or nothing, it all depended on their own hands!
"This is our map. It's relatively safe, but don't be blinded by it!" Bord handed Griffon a hand-drawn map of the underground palace.
"We're going separately?" The gentleman frowned.
"We'll go together for the first three floors. You can follow us for the rest of the floors. You can also choose your own direction. Friends, the exploration won't be so smooth. When the insects and monsters attack, no one can guarantee that everyone will run in the same direction. Good luck! " Bord left his most trustworthy subordinate in the hall and led the team down the only staircase.
Griffon and the gentleman looked at each other, then looked at the real leader, the ghost.
Spectral Soul, however, remained silent.
There was really no other choice. After a short discussion, Griffon and the gentleman followed Bord's example and left the weakest mercenary behind to protect the items. Then, they quickly followed Bord.
Five minutes later, Lin Dong used his remote vision to see that the group had already gone far away.
So, he gently threw a stone at the stone pillar in the hall.
Bang!
The sound of the stone hitting the pillar was very clear. The two mercenaries who were already very alert jumped up quickly, holding their guns in their hands. They looked at the huge stone pillar in shock. After an internal struggle, the two decided to go and take a look. They didn't know whether it was a trap or a monster, but it was better than staying here and waiting for death …
There was nothing behind the huge stone pillar.
The two mercenaries secretly sighed in relief.
Just as they turned around.
He then saw Lin Dong standing behind him with a face full of smiles … Throwing stones to test the waters was useless against the rabbit people who loved to read wuxia novels, but against the foreign devils, it was practically a thousand times a thousand times.
