Chapter 107: Entering the Treasure House (Additional update)
Luo Shaoqi laughed loudly and shouted to Alice and the others: "My brother is still great. They say there are two pictures, they are two pictures, and there is a way to escape. It's true!"
Lin Jingbao also looked happy and asked: "Is there any explanation on how they escaped?"
Anna shook her head in disappointment and replied: "There is no mention of these things at all. These are just books left by their officials when they left. I think the escape passage is here. Let's look carefully. You should be able to find it.¡±
But as soon as she finished saying these words, she exclaimed excitedly: "Actually, what I'm most happy about is that this is the last place of escape for Duke Mines Shonton. Yeah! This time, I, Anna Tominis, finally It proves the value of my life, this is the biggest treasure I have found and the most significant discovery in the early 21st century!"
Seeing her proud look, Luo Shaoqi said disdainfully: "It's never too late to be happy to leave here alive. Look at your enthusiasm. You even said you found it without blushing. It's us." The four of us found it together, so we can brag and not make any drafts."
Anna stared at him angrily, with such an excited expression that she really wanted to bite him to death, silently cursing him in her heart, such as finding no paper in the bathroom, forgetting to bring the key when going out, and so on.
Lin Jingbao frowned in thought, and after a while asked: "Alice, have you found anything valuable?"
"No, it contains some geographical knowledge. It's not like the historical book Anna happened to get."
"It seems that we can only find it slowly again. However, these things can also prove that our speculation is completely correct. It seems that there were indeed two maps in the 'Staff of Power' back then, at least as far as Josh? Fox? When Catrien had it, the other map was still there because he successfully entered the city of Menes. However, why the other map was lost is unknown."
"Huh? What's the sound?"
Lin Jingbao suddenly interrupted their conversation and listened to what was going on around him.
Luo Shaoqi and the others' hearts were also raised, and they were very nervous. After what happened just now, any slightest movement would make them nervous and terrified.
After a while, he slowly said: "It's gone now. It seems to be the sound of insects crawling over. Maybe I heard something wrong."
"Huh"
The three of them wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and Luo Shaoqi said with lingering fear: "Xiaobao, this city of Mines is mysterious and mysterious, but it is also exciting. It seems that I didn't visit it during this trip. "
Anna also said: "Yes, I also like this atmosphere. Treasure hunting and adventure are my two major hobbies in life!"
Luo Shaoqi looked disdainful and said disdainfully: "You can be spared. Just like you, if it weren't for the two of us, your ten lives wouldn't even be enough."
"you¡¡"
Alice quickly grabbed Anna and persuaded: "Anna, stop making trouble, we still have to do business."
Lin Jingbao also nodded and said: "Then if everyone has a good rest, hurry up and leave after finding the treasure. Don't stay in this place of right and wrong for a long time. Pack your things and let's leave now."
After saying that, he picked up the torch on the ground and walked ahead, continuing to move forward.
The formation is the same as before, with Lin Jingbao at the head, Luo Shaoqi at the back, and Alice and Anna in the middle. After walking out of the lounge, everyone came to a large square that looked like a large shelter. It was hard to imagine that such a huge project could be dug out underground, and how much manpower and material resources it would take to complete it.
In this square, there are also many bed frames and many corpses. Many of them are wearing rusty armor and holding weapons in their hands. Passing through the center of the square, they came to the end, where they saw about hundreds of skeletons, many with broken limbs and arms, as if they had died of injuries after fighting with others. Apparently, these people were all the soldiers guarding the city of Mines. They loyally defended their homeland and fought against the giant frogs. They were outnumbered and were eventually carried into the shelter to die.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but recall the situation at that time. They used cold knives and cold guns to fight against those terrifying giant frogs, but were splashed by those strong acid or fire-like body fluids. There were wailings everywhere, and the mutilated bodies Limbs and burning companions, they resisted tenaciously and fought bravely. After being injured, he was carried here and eventually died without treatment.
And all Alice and the others could do at the moment was sigh and move forward. Lin Jingbao and Luo Shaoqi have seen this kind of scene many times, and they have long been accustomed to it.
leave here, passed through several corridors, and after Lin Jingbao released his six senses and explored a large area, he finally showed a look of joy and walked forward faster.
When they came to a stone door about three meters high and five meters wide, they saw the same hole as before, which was the mechanism opened by the "staff of power".
Alice and Anna immediately shouted loudly and celebrated happily.
Lin Jingbao¡¯s intuition also told him that behind this door was the final destination of this mission, the Catalon family¡¯s treasure trove. Taking out the "Wand of Power", under the gaze of three concerned eyes, he closed his eyes slightly and carefully inserted it into the hole. The method of opening is different from last time, but with his powerful perception, almost all locks are easily accessible.
It took about a minute or so before the entire machine was opened by him.
At this time, with a slight "click" sound, Lin Jingbao's eyes opened and he nodded to everyone with a smile. While standing up, forcefully push the "Wand of Power" inward.
"Boom! Kakakaka"
The door immediately retreated to both sides, gradually revealing everything in the treasure room to a few people. Lin Jingbao threw the torch in his hand hard, and the torch turned somersaults in the air, sending out a dazzling ring of fire and falling far away in the center of the room.
"Boom!"
They saw a huge fire coming out from the central torch in the hall, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day. Under the sparks, everything around them shone with a dazzling light, which made their eyes blink. It's hard for me to adapt.
"Wow! There are so many gold and silver jewels. Look over there, the gold coins are piled up into a hill! And there are gems! Pearls, they are so big and beautiful!"
After Lin Jingbao and others' eyes adjusted, they saw that the treasure room was nearly a thousand square miles, filled with gold, silver and jewelry. Many gold coins and gold bricks were piled around randomly, and some were even more. It was piled directly into a hill several meters high.
Boxes upon boxes of gems and pearls, each the size of a pigeon egg, with several boxes of red, yellow, blue and other colors, were thrown away as casually as glass balls. Alice and Anna's eyes widened, and slowly Walking forward, he was amazed.
Luo Shaoqi was also looking around and said with a smile: "I'm really not in vain. I have never seen so much wealth in my life. Today is an eye-opener. I will have the capital to brag with others in the future, haha!"
Lin Jingbao also walked around and saw many things that were gold and silver utensils. Their shapes were products of the early Middle Ages, but some things seemed to be from the past few hundred years, and were very different from the surrounding utensils. sex. It seems that this is where the Catalon family placed their treasure.
Anna looked here and there, and kept saying: "This is an ivory artifact from the 13th century, this is a gemstone and coral carving, ah! This, this is Louis' crown from the 16th century! Alice, this must be Carteret The En family¡¯s treasure trove!¡±
Alice was also shouting and jumping excitedly, and kept mumbling words in her mouth. Only Anna knew what she was saying.
Lin Jingbao was observing his surroundings at the moment. He had already taken back the "Stand of Power" and put it into his backpack. Suddenly, he walked straight to the end of the treasure room and saw hundreds of skeletons lying on the ground. The clothes of the skeletons were all civilian clothes, coarse linen clothes, and no precious fabrics.
"However, the circumstances of their deaths were very strange, and he couldn't help but wonder. Could such a strange scene be
When Luo Shaoqi and the others saw him stop and stare at the bones on the ground, frowning, they asked aloud: "What's wrong?"
Lin Jingbao pointed to the skeletons in the ground and asked, "Don't you think these people died a little weird?"
Alice said in surprise: "Aren't these skeletons all like this? There seems to be no difference, right?"
Luo Shaoqi frowned and said in a deep voice: "When you said that, I seemed to see something wrong, but I couldn't explain it"
Lin Jingbao smiled and said: "Then let me tell you, there is something wrong with them. Take a closer look, their way of death is very strange, their heads are like this wall and they are walking inward. This shows that they were killed in the process of escaping. Furthermore, if you observe closely, you will find that their clothes are neat and not broken, and their bones are also intact, with no trace of mutilation. From It can be seen from here that they were not killed by someone but poisoned. Is this weird way of death reasonable?"
Luo Shaoqi suddenly shouted: "Yes, I really figured it out when you said that. I said they all died in the same way. Such a scene is really unusual. They were not killed with swords at all, nor He always died of poisoning becauseTheir bones are all normal color, while the bones of those who were poisoned are black. The cause of their death is very questionable. Could it be that there is something else here? "
"Something else?"
Alice and Anna both looked at each other, confused and unsure of the reason.
Lin Jingbao's eyes were slightly closed at this moment, and he moved his hand across the wall beside him, letting out his six senses to examine it carefully. Suddenly, his eyes opened sharply and he shouted: "No! Come behind me!"
Luo Shaoqi and the others shuddered, and their subconscious reaction was to run behind him. Alice and Anna huddled together, shivering.
Suddenly, they smelled a familiar smell they smelled almost every day, which was "Dead Mouse Perfume". They went from disgusting to this smell to loving it at the end. Because in this dense forest, no insect dared to fly within three meters of them. Even after they got close, they would shake their heads and fall to the ground after a while.
But at this moment, what is the purpose of Lin Jingbao taking out this thing?
I saw him dip his fingers into some mucus, pop out his curled fingers, and draw a semicircle in front of everyone. Just when everyone was puzzled, hundreds of green beetles poured out from around the treasures. Very quickly, they were in front of four people in a short time.
Although the four of them don¡¯t know what this thing is, as long as they see the two large pincers in front of their mouths, they will not think that they are friendly creatures.
When Luo Shaoqi saw these things just now, he took out his shotgun and prepared to shoot. But he was stopped by Lin Jingbao beside him. He shook his head and said, "Brother Qi, even if you use up all the bullets, you still won't be able to kill them all."
"Chir! Chi"
When those strange insects were about to enter within a few meters of them, something unexpected happened to everyone. They all stayed around the mucus that was spilled just now, and no one dared to venture in, as if they were afraid of the power of those "Dead Mouse Brand Perfume".
Alice and Anna both let out a long breath in unison. Anna patted her chest and said softly: "I thought it was something powerful, but I didn't expect it to be like this. I will catch one back later to scare others, haha."
"Humph, you said they are not powerful things?"
The three of them turned to look at Lin Jingbao in confusion. Although they were surrounded by an army of insects, they saw that these little guys didn't have much ability. They couldn't spit acid, spit fire, or fly, so they didn't care much. It wasn't until Lin Jingbao snorted coldly that she looked at him in confusion, wanting to hear what he had to say.
"Didn't we just talk about how those hundreds of skeletons died? Now you will understand how they died when you look at these guys."
After saying that, he ignored the three people who were stunned and looked for a way out on the wall. According to the way those bones died, the way out must be near here. Otherwise, the heads of those people would not be facing this way.
Luo Shaoqi and the three of them were all broken into cold sweat at this moment, and they all felt ashamed of their ignorance just now. Recalling the death method of those bones, it was exactly the same as what Lin Jingbao said, and it was exactly the same. At this moment, they also felt that it was very difficult. There was no way to the sky, no way to the earth, and there was nowhere to escape. They could only place their hope on the leader Lin Jingbao.
I saw that Lin Jingbao was groping with his eyes closed, as if he was meditating or looking for a way. Although those strange beetles could not enter the circle for a while, they felt very uncomfortable because of fear. Everyone was feeling hot. He was scurrying around like ants on a pot.
At this moment, something happened that caught everyone off guard.
"Haw!"
A loud insect chirp echoed throughout the treasure room, startling even Lin Jingbao who was quietly exploring. Those green monster beetles seemed to have heard some orders, and they bravely stepped forward, but they were soon poisoned by the stench. But these dead strange beetles did not scare other species of the same kind. They all stepped forward resolutely on the insect corpses, and used the giant pincers in their mouths to swallow up the mucus on the ground.
Large swarms of strange beetles were poisoned and fell to the ground, but new strange beetles that were not afraid of death stepped forward to swallow the death slime. This made the four of them feel numb. Just like this, they all knew in their hearts that it wouldn't be long before their protective boundaries were broken. Then their lives would end up being surrounded by this overwhelming number of strange beetles. He will also become one of the hundreds of skeletons.
Thinking of this, Luo Shaoqi and the three of them all turned their heads and stared at Lin Jingbao, hoping to get help and hope from him. Only in this way could they escape from this lovely and terrifying place.
Of course, this scene was also noticed by Lin Jingbao.?He was also a little anxious. His treasure could actually be cracked by these reptiles using an alternative method. He marveled at the wisdom of these strange beetles. Could it be that today he would be killed by the insect and let all the insects eat his heart?
No, it¡¯s absolutely impossible. There must be other ways of escape here, and this wall must be the final door of escape. Thinking of this, I felt calm, but a new question appeared again, where is the place to turn on the mechanism? I have searched around more than once, and there is nothing around that can provide a place for the "staff of power" to be inserted.
Looking around, he once again set out the search range, and saw a shelf for placing torches on a load-bearing stone pillar about twenty meters away. There happened to be a square hole underneath the shelf, which was just the right size to allow the "powerful person" to Rod" inserted. What pleased him the most was that the square hole was also designed to open the mechanism. It was not much different from the previous ones, but it didn't have to be as troublesome as opening a safe. It only needed to be turned directly.
"Xiaobao! They are coming in!"
Luo Shaoqi was so anxious that he ignored everything else and hurriedly interrupted his brooding brother, otherwise he and others would be killed.
