Chapter 656
The atmosphere in the mural team is now very gloomy.
It's not just the tragedy of the death of a companion that happened.
After such an encounter, everyone must face and consider a question - how should they get out?
Forget about being chased and intercepted by all kinds of strange creatures.
But just now, in order to escape from the ice crystal-like thing, Eddy took the initiative to use explosives to blow up the entrance when they entered.
If there is no other accessible entrance in this ice ring corridor...
then I am afraid they will have to rely on their manpower to open a path under the ice.
With normal human abilities.
The possibility of such a thing can be imagined.
But in this environment, Ronald was in a good mood.
On the one hand, he knew that this was just a trial created by the original canon; on the other hand, it was because the special scene in front of him was so unique and interesting!
The ice ring corridor hidden under the solid ice still retains its original appearance when the tunnel was opened because it is in a fairly safe place.
For example, some obvious tool carvings and construction marks occasionally left by workers all made Ronald think this place was great!
If the current situation is not really special.
Then he really has the idea of investigating here!
"Ered, can we leave the underground if we continue walking here?"
After groping forward for a few minutes, Yanni asked again:
"Look at the position of the lighting rod here, you also inspected it before When you get here, you should have some understanding of the terrain, right?"
"..."
Aerion did not answer Yanni's question.
Instead, Grady, who was in front, took the initiative to explain:
"Don't worry, there is still hope of getting out. At the end of this tunnel, there is a hall similar to a sacrificial hall, and there is a space in it that links the upper and lower layers of frozen corridors."
"As long as we get there, we can surround the explosion point through ice at other depths, and then successfully return to the ground."
As a doctor, Ivy also interjected at the right time:
"But even if we can successfully return to the ground, those blue strange creatures Is there still no way to escape?"
As soon as the doctor said these words, the atmosphere in the team became gloomy again.
This is indeed a problem they cannot avoid.
Faced with the number and danger of blue creatures, it is indeed difficult for a team of only five people to escape.
Seeing that the mood of the team was so low, Ronald had no choice but to comfort him:
"Everyone, there is no need to take things so absolutely."
"Animals that move in groups tend not to stay in one place for too long if they lose their prey. As long as we pay attention when we go out, we still have a lot of chances to escape."
Yanni probably guessed what Ronald was thinking, so he also supported him:
"Yang is right."
"You really don't need to. You think things are so desperate."
After all, Ronald and Yanni are professionals sent by the company.
After the two people unified their caliber, several other people in the team had no doubts at all, and the low atmosphere improved almost visibly.
Just keep going.
ten minutes later.
They came to the place that Grady mentioned earlier, was similar to a sacrificial site.
——The first thing that strikes the eye is a rather spacious space.
People in ancient times used tools to carve out an open area the size of a football field beneath the ground around this glacial lake. According to strict geometric rules, craftsmen used the ice cubes everywhere to directly carve sculptures of different shapes, which are directly integrated with the ground.
Just saw the scene in front of me.
The value of this place as a research location is immediately apparent.
Not to mention the orientation of these sculptures, which have very obvious characteristics. They all move towards the core of this space, and at the same time, their respective importance is fully expressed in this most intuitive positional arrangement.
Keep your eyes on and follow the guidance of these items.
A statue sculpted entirely from ice stands at the core of their orientation.
The shape of the statue is that of an elderly man wearing a cloak, holding a smooth and straight round staff in his hand. Ronald could associate some of the more famous ancient god beliefs from this image, but there was none that completely matched the above.
"Yang, can you recognize its origin?"
Yanni on the side knew that Ronald had a good understanding of the myth system, so he immediately asked.
Ronald shook his head slightly to express that he could not confirm.
Then he raised his hand and pointed at the surrounding walls.
"I have never seen the figures in this sculpture, but I can still recognize some of the writing on the surrounding walls."
Just like most ancient relics.
On the interior walls of this building in the ice, there are also artificial sculptures, murals and text descriptions. There is no cheating ability like language proficiency here. Just from the characters on the wall, Ronald knows that they are runes - a common thing that is almost broken by modern humans.
The line of sight circles around the mural to find the starting point.
Ronald immediately began to translate the above content.
The first picture of the mural shows a humanoid creature rising slowly from an icy lake.
"Under the light of the heavenly dimension, the ancient prophet of the Ice Age awakened and returned from the glacial lake in the east." The
second picture shows the awakened prophet standing in front of many people, holding a cup in his hand A bright ring-shaped gemstone.
"The prophet promised that with the selfless help of the goddess, people will eventually gain eternal life, and will no longer suffer from hunger, thirst, or illness. And if you want to get such a blessing, people must make their own choices."
Chapter Three pictures in and it’s no longer a prophet here.
A large number of people gathered in front of a palace. A man in rich clothes held the gem in his hand.
"The great King Loken obtained this gem, and gained eternal life under this magical power. He ruled people and established a great empire!" Ronald translated the
mural little by little, and several others were also listening quietly.
But during this process, someone happened to have extra thoughts.
Grady continued to move forward alone, walking towards the sculpture in the hall - the statue of the prophet in the mural.
"Grady, what are you doing?"
Yanni noticed Grady's movements and immediately shouted to stop his movements.
However, the girl's cry.
All he got in exchange was a subtle smile from Grady:
"Before, that guy Angel said he wanted to protect the ruins and not let me touch it. Now that we are all in this situation, it's not the time to pay attention to this kind of thing, right? ?"
"I..."
Click -
Before he could finish his sentence, there was nothing at Grady's feet.
Only the sound of breaking ice was heard, and his whole body immediately disappeared from people's eyes.
