Chapter 433: Wealth is found in danger
. However, just when Guo Zong was very worried.
Bang!
The sound of neat and heavy steps came, and Guo Zong turned his head and looked behind.
Eleven blood knights were seen behind the blood pit, leading a heavy armored knight armed from head to toe and holding a spear.
They lined up in a long formation, like a guard of honor to welcome guests.
At this time, Hedri and others continued to advance like a broken bamboo. The corpse guards who came up to block them along the way were swept away instantly like garbage.
Seeing them getting closer and closer to the blood pit, they still encountered no obstacles.
Shiyao became more and more uneasy, and she couldn't help but remind her.
"We have penetrated so deep, and these monsters are still indifferent. What kind of trap have they set?" "
Huh! Now that it's like this, what about the trap? I can break through even mountains of swords and seas of fire. I want to see it. What tricks can they play?"
Dimlock's eyes were full of unruliness, without any fear.
Shiyao was also quite shocked when she heard what Admiral Dimlock said. At this moment, she felt firsthand the gap between herself and Dimlock. This was not only a gap in strength, but also a gap in attitude and mentality.
...
A moment later, Shiyao and others arrived in front of the Blood Pit very smoothly, and Colonel Aroko and others were locked in a cage hanging from the cross.
On the Blood Pit, there is a road extending from the wall, passing through the cross and reaching the opposite side.
Above the castle opposite the Pit of Blood, there is a protruding observation tower, on which Melon is dressed in a gorgeous golden starry robe and wearing a triple crown.
Next to Mellon stood a guarding knight named Shusha, and in front of him kneeled several older prisoners.
If you observe carefully, you will find that several prisoners are translation scholars brought in by various alliances.
At this time, each of their faces showed expressions of extreme fear. That fear was not only the fear of death, but also spiritual fear.
"General Dimlock!"
Aroko and other prisoners shouted excitedly.
Amirang and other Gray Scorpion members were also extremely happy to see Baicatu and others.
"Great."
On the contrary, Lieutenant Colonel Guo Zong and others shouted anxiously when they saw Shiyao.
"Shiyao, go quickly, this is a trap."
...
Shiyao and others looked at their companions in front of them, and instinctively wanted to rush forward and save them.
But they did not act rashly, because opposite the blood pit, rows of blood knights were standing there leading their troops.
They are not for display.
However, what puzzles Admiral Dimlock and others is that they have all come here and the other side is still indifferent. What on earth do these monsters want to do?
Boom!
Just when something strange happened, pillars rose up from the bottom of the cross standing in the center of the blood pit.
These posts fit around the cross, forming a circular arena halfway up its waist.
"What do these monsters want to do?"
Baicatu said with a slight frown.
Shiyao looked at this scene and said in a deep voice.
"I don't know, but don't you think the current scene looks a bit like a gladiatorial arena?"
"You mean, these monsters want to challenge us to a duel?"
Although Lieutenant General Hedley thinks it is ridiculous, the current situation is still... It's really similar.
"Let's take a look first."
Colonel Dimlock also felt it was very strange, so he did not act rashly.
However, at this moment, King Mellon showed a creepy smile on his withered face, and slowly stood up from the throne.
He looked down at Dimlock and others like a god, then opened his mouth and made a jerky and not standard sound.
"Guests from afar, welcome to Qianyin Kingdom."
Although Mellon's voice was not loud, it reached the ears of Shi Yao and others very clearly. What shocked them even more was that the other party actually spoke their language.
"Can this guy speak our language?"
Baikatu looked like he had seen a ghost. This was the first time he had seen creatures from other worlds able to speak and communicate.
Dimlock narrowed his eyes and said.
"The first intelligent creature that can communicate."
In fact, if you observe Dimlock's expression carefully, you can find a faint glint in his eyes.
At this moment, he was thinking about the possibility of capturing the other party alive.
You must know that the Three Alliances have been exploring different worlds for so long. This is the first time they have encountered a life form that can communicate.
The significance of this is self-evident.
"How did he speak our language?"
Shiyao asked in shock and confusion.
"Probably he learned it temporarily. If you listen carefully to his pronunciation, you will find that it is not very standard. And among the people kneeling on the observation deck, one of them is our accompanying language expert." Hedry is very keen
. After noticing the key point, he said in a deep voice.
"With such a terrifying learning ability, should we respond to him?"
Shiyao asked in shock.
"I'll do it."
Admiral Dimlock then took a step forward alone.
Mellon's eyes immediately fell on Dimlock.
"Respect King Melon, we don't want to be your enemy, so please let our companions go."
Dimlock responded in a deep and powerful voice.
"Do you think it's a childish lie?"
Mellon responded in less than standard language.
Although Shi Yao and others listened intermittently, they still roughly guessed the meaning. The other party did not believe what they said.
"Then there's nothing to talk about."
Admiral Dimlock replied unceremoniously with a stern look in his eyes.
"You can save your ** if you want. Let's fight three duels. If you can win two games, then you can take away all the ****. But if you lose, you have to keep them all. Come on."
Mellon said in a low voice.
When Dimlock and others heard Mellon's words, they all looked suspicious. They didn't expect that the other party would actually compete with them.
"Do you believe what this old guy says? Don't be fooled."
Baicatu asked warily.
"You think everyone is like you Gray Alliance, talking like farts. The indigenous people here believe in gods and the code of chivalry."
Shiyao said coldly that although they are now working together, it does not mean that their relationship is good.
You must know that Shiyao and the others were surrounded and suppressed by Baicatu before, and many people died.
"Hmph, can reputation be used as food? Only an idiot would believe that."
Baicatu replied disapprovingly.
"Okay, stop arguing! I think it's feasible for Dimlock. You see, the other party's subordinates are all knights. And King Mellon is also a legend in this world. His promise should be credible." Hedry interrupted
. Baikatu and Shiyao said to Dimlock.
After listening to Hedley's words, Dimlock spoke to Mellon calmly.
"We agreed."
"Very good, Donilo!"
Meron directly clicked on a blood knight.
Suddenly, a blood knight holding a red spear stood out from the eleven blood knights. Donilo first turned around and saluted Mellon, and then walked towards the arena in the center of the Blood Pit.
Shiyao looked at the blood knight who appeared, her eyes moved slightly and she said.
"That blood knight surrounded us and was very powerful."
"I'll do it."
Baicatu twisted his neck, looking a little eager to try.
At this time, Admiral Dimlock directly stretched out his hand to stop Baicatu and analyzed in a low voice.
"Don't mess up, let's analyze it, win two out of three games! If I guessed correctly, the opponent should not send out the strongest person in the first game. If we can send someone who is not the strongest, but If I can win the first game, then I can play stud in person in the second game." "
Then I'll do it."
Hedry sighed after listening to Dimlock's words.
"Are your injuries okay?"
Dimlock turned to look at Hedri and asked.
If Hedry is in complete victory, he will certainly not be worried. But now he has lost his weapon and is injured.
"You have to do it even if you don't. No matter how bad my condition is, I'm still better than the two of them."
Hedry said helplessly. If Shi Yao could convince their master back then, he wouldn't have to go out personally, and that kid would have a stronger fighting ability.
When Baikatu and Shiyao heard Hedri's words, they wanted to refute, but in the end they did not speak. There is no way that the two of them are not as strong as Hedri. Even if Hedri is not in good condition, they are not sure that they can beat him.
"Okay, then you will be the first one."
Admiral Dimlock agreed after pondering for a few seconds.
So Hedri pulled out an exquisite sky-blue sword with a P3 triangular atomic module embedded in it.
"Wait a minute, I'll lend you the Blade of Greed."
Dimlock took out the red sword from his waist and handed it to Hedri. At least his one is from the Cube Atom Module·P2, so its lethality will be relatively high.
Hedri didn't show any pretense, and immediately took back his spare sword, the Aqua Blue Blade, took the Greed Blade and walked towards the arena in the center of the pit alone.
...
Qianyin Holy Land.
Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi walked all the way inside.
The two of them walked very slowly. On the one hand, they were checking things along the way for fear of missing particularly valuable items.
Another reason is that they are afraid of touching some mechanism.
While walking, Shen Qiu and the others came to an area where lifelike statues of beauties were piled up.
These statues are the same as real people in terms of body proportions and facial features. They are very beautiful and even give people the illusion that these beautiful statues are like living people.
"It's so beautiful. The craftsmanship is really good! It seems that King Qianyin knows art."
Yun Xiaoxi looked at these beautiful statues and couldn't help but praise them.
After hearing what Yun Xiaoxi said, Shen Qiu turned his head and took another look at the statues, and a reminder popped up on his bracelet.
"Living figurines."
He said to Yun Xiaoxi with a strange expression on his face.
"Do you know what these statues are made of?"
"Aren't they made of mud?"
"These are made of living people. There is a living human skeleton inside each statue. If you don't believe me, you can split one open and take a look. ." "Ah? Isn't it, so evil?"
Yun Xiaoxi was also shocked, and then she stayed far away, not interested in getting closer at all.
"Nothing surprising."
"But isn't this the holy land of Qianyin Kingdom? Why are these placed?" "
Is the so-called holy land really a holy land? Or is it the king's own holy land?"
Shen Qiu replied with a smile.
"Uh, that Mellon is so perverted?"
"It's not him, it should be the previous king. Look at these statues. They are piled together. Normally they would not be placed like this." "If
you say so, these statues are The statue really looks like it has been cleaned up, just like sweeping away garbage." Yun Xiaoxi replied with sudden realization.
"Well, regardless of these statues, let's go inside."
Shen Qiu continued to walk forward.
Yun Xiaoxi hurriedly followed, not daring to stay in the statue area. These lifelike statues of beautiful women were unusually eye-catching.
Just as they walked a few dozen meters in, they saw shelves one after another.
There are pieces of armor hanging on these shelves, the most eye-catching of which is the red armor similar to that worn by the Blood Knight. There is also a triangular atomic module embedded in the chest of the armor.
In addition to these armors, there are also many gorgeous swords, spears, giant axes and other weapons.
However, many of these weapons do not have atomic modules embedded in them, and are more ordinary weapons.
But with so much equipment hanging here, it still gives people a strong visual impact.
"A lot of equipment."
Yun Xiaoxi exclaimed as she looked at the equipment.
Shen Qiu stepped forward and checked one by one. There were very few pieces of equipment with modules, and the level of the embedded modules was not high. The highest level was the red armor equipment.
As for the genetic modules, I didn’t even see them along the way.
Shen Qiu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Yun Xiaoxi came up and asked curiously.
"What's wrong? You don't look very happy. Aren't these things good?" "
There aren't many valuable equipments, but that's normal. The monsters of Qianyin Kingdom are uniformly armed. It's unlikely that they would put their weapons on them." It's moldy here, and most of it is used for personal use."
"Maybe there are better ones inside. Isn't this the end of the road yet?"
"Well, by the way, the equipment you have is not very good either. This set of red armor Very good, do you want it?"
Shen Qiu looked at Yun Xiaoxi and asked.
Yun Xiaoxi looked at the burly armor, shook her head and replied.
"This set of armor is too big. I can't hold it up due to my weak body. Moreover, this equipment looks like heavy armor. Even if I can really put it on, it will affect my speed." "Yes, then I will make these valuable first
. Put away the equipment first."
Shen Qiu took out the mechanical capsule, which was still on the ground, and then started to stuff the equipment with the atomic module embedded into it.
Shen Qiu finished it within a few minutes. He put away the mechanical capsule and Yun Xiaoxi and continued walking inside.
Soon they saw a large number of transparent bottles and utensils.
Some glass jars are filled with special liquids and various biological tissues are soaked in them.
However, due to incomplete preservation, it can be seen that many biological tissues have turned black, or have been eroded by evaporation of water.
Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi just looked at it for a while. They had no intention of touching and continued walking inside.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the deepest part of Qianyin Holy Land.
There are rows of bookshelves here, filled with books.
And the bookshelves are arranged in a circular orientation.
Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi were stunned when they looked at these bookshelves. It was not that they were shocked by the scale of these books, but that they looked very familiar with these books and furnishings.
"Chen Qiu, do you think these bookshelves look familiar?"
Yun Xiaoxi asked uncertainly.
"It doesn't look familiar. Don't you think the furnishings here are almost exactly the same as those in the cathedral's library? Even the style and color of the bookshelves are the same." Shen Qiu narrowed his eyes and said
.
"Well, after you said it, it seems like this is true. What's going on?"
Yun Xiaoxi immediately reacted.
"I don't know. Let's not talk about it for now. Let's go inside and take a look. If both sides are the same, it proves that there is an altar inside."
Shen Qiu's eyes flickered and he said a little excitedly.
"Okay!"
Yun Xiaoxi responded immediately.
The two kept walking forward, and soon they came to the depths of the bookshelf.
You can see an altar made of multi-layered round stones. The entire altar is painted with golden and messy hieroglyphics.
In the raised area in the middle of the altar, there is also a square black metal box, but the surface of this metal box is very smooth without any stripes or lines.
There is also a column on the right side of the altar, and a purple book is placed on it. The surface of the book is imprinted with an eye-shaped sun pattern, and incomprehensible words are engraved on it.
The covers of this purple book and the theory of evolution in Shen Qiu's hands are exactly the same, but it's not clear whether the contents inside are the same.
"Chen Qiu, there really is an altar, and the things on it are exactly the same as the things we took away before!"
Yun Xiaoxi's head was a little messy.
Shen Qiu stared at the box on the altar and the things on the pillars, his expression constantly changing, and after a long time he spoke.
"I have a bold guess."
"What guess?"
"The boxes and books in our hands should originally be here. Because the theory of evolution in my hand is signed by Mellon. If I guessed correctly, it should be Ai Lin replaces the things on it and takes away the two things we have." "
Then what are the things on top? Fake?"
"It may be a fake, but it is also possible that it is not a fake, but something else, because they look like The materials are all very high-end."
"I see, then why don't we take the things on the altar?" "
Yes, there might be a surprise. But it's probably not that easy to get. I feel like there must be a fatal mechanism here."
Shen Qiu narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the altar. He instinctively sensed danger.
"Then what should we do?"
"Actually, it's very simple. Since Irene didn't take the thing directly before, but replaced the thing on it and took it away, then nine times out of ten, the mechanism triggering device is under the thing. We just need to learn from Ai Lin repeats her old trick and replaces things, and she will succeed nine times out of ten." "
But shouldn't Mellon's things be more valuable? If you replace them, wouldn't you be losing money?" "
Who is more valuable? That's not the case. Forget it, the reason why Irene replaced things was because she measured it from her own perspective, but our measurement standards are different, maybe her things are more valuable to us. Another thing, Mellon's things, We have taken away the most core things, and the remaining things are not of high value to us. We can definitely give it a try." "Okay." After Shen Qiu's analysis, Yun Xiaoxi felt that it made sense, so she did
n't
blocked.
Shen Qiu then took out the mechanical capsule, activated it and threw it on the ground. He took out the Theory of Evolution and turned to Yun Xiaoxi.
"I need your help."
"Well, you say it!"
"Let's do an experiment with the books on that pillar first. If there is no problem when we get closer, you can stand on the opposite side of the pillar and pick up the books." "
I understand. ."
"Let's go."
Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi walked cautiously toward the pillar.
The two of them walked very slowly, always paying attention to their steps, for fear of something going wrong.
Fortunately, he finally walked to the pillar smoothly, and Yun Xiaoxi then slowly walked around behind the pillar.
After both of them arrived at the designated positions, they couldn't help but look at each other and nodded.
Then Shen Qiu aimed his hand at the theory of evolution level at the purple book placed above.
Yun Xiaoxi looked at this scene with her heart in her throat, knowing that this behavior was very risky.
Shen Qiu then gave Yun Xiaoxi a starting look, and with the speed of a man who had been single for more than 20 years, he pushed up the Theory of Evolution in a flash, and pushed the purple book directly off the pillar.
Yun Xiaoxi quickly stretched out her hand to catch the falling theory of evolution.
After doing all this, the two stood motionless, looking around.
However, the Holy Land was quiet and everything was normal.
After confirming that there was no problem, Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Here, look at this book. Is it the same as your theory of evolution?"
Yun Xiaoxi returned the same way and handed the purple book she received to Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu took it and opened it and read it, although he couldn't understand the text on it. But judging from the patterns and handwriting, it was obvious that the two books were different, but it was a pity that he couldn't understand them clearly.
However, at this moment, the ring on Shen Qiu's hand began to shine again.
The whole purple book lit up, and Shen Qiu was in a trance and immersed himself in it.
"Can Shen Qiu understand it? What is this book about?"
Yun Xiaoxi asked curiously.
However, Shen Qiu didn't answer Yun Xiaoxi's words. He was like a bookworm, immersed in reading the book and kept turning the pages.
When Yun Xiaoxi saw this, she didn't bother Shen Qiu and just stood beside him.
Time passed little by little.
When Shen Qiu came to his senses, he turned to the last page of the book in his hand.
He closed the book.
Yun Xiaoxi, who was in a daze on the side, asked happily when she heard the sound of books being closed.
"Chen Qiu, have you finished reading?"
"Well, how long have I been reading for?"
"It's been quite a long time, almost an hour. Do you understand the content?" "
Yes, this book is also called Theory of Evolution. But its author is not Mellon, but Irene!"
Shen Qiu explained to Yun Xiaoxi.
"Ah? What's the difference?"
"If Mellon's theory of evolution explains various taboo experiments, then Irene's book is more about the flowers of eternity. And Irene has been working on solving the problem of eternity. As a side effect of the flower, the purple eternal flower is the final product."
"What does that flower do?"
Yun Xiaoxi asked curiously.
"The purple eternal flower is a special variety jointly researched by Eileen and Mellon. Its effect can suppress the side effects of the regular eternal flower. But the price is that those who eat it may lose immortality and strength, so it was hidden by Mellon. It's in the box."
"Oh, it turns out to be an antidote!" "
It's not exactly an antidote. There should be other effects, but they haven't been studied yet, but one thing is clear." "
What?"
"What if ? If you give this flower to Mellon, then Mellon may regain some sense and fall into a weak state at the same time, so it may be relatively easy to deal with it." Shen Qiu said thoughtfully
.
"Um, but isn't that flower your mission reward?"
Yun Xiaoxi asked, slightly startled.
"Of course, we don't have to do this. If we are strong enough, we can also forcefully kill him." "
Ah? Then do we need to feed Melon?"
"Let's talk about this later. There is still something I haven't taken from the altar."
Shen Qiu stared at the items on the altar and said.
"Um, it seems that the ones on this altar are not that easy to get? I remember that the cathedral was touched and a lot of bugs were released in the end."
Yun Xiaoxi said with lingering fear.
"Yes, I know."
Shen Qiu nodded slightly, then walked to the mechanical capsule, took out the purple eternal flower from inside and weighed it.
Then he took out the compressed biscuits and weighed them in his hands, then opened the package and broke off some.
"Chen Qiu, what are you doing?"
Yun Xiaoxi asked curiously.
"Although the machine craftsmanship of this era will be relatively rough and not very sensitive to weight. But just in case, I still stuff the same weight of things back into the box and try to restore the box to the same weight. As for that The key may have been put in later, because if the key is always in the box, how can the door in the front be opened?" Shen Qiu explained roughly
.
