Chapter 385 Dracula
The playboy is very innocent -
But what Gu Chen said was right. Not only him, but Shen Mo and Jiang Qiushui also made the same mistake.
Before they entered the ancient tomb, due to various conjectures and the power of the curse that enveloped the ancient tomb, they imagined that the ancient tomb was too mysterious and weird. They all temporarily forgot that this was a tomb after all. How could it lack mechanisms?
Shen Mo nodded, and then walked to a place about three meters away from the stone platform. When he was walking back and forth just now, he kept listening to the sound of footsteps. Every time his footsteps touched this place, it would become a little dull.
Based on experience, I guess the bottom should be empty.
It's just that a large area of ground around here is made of complete stones, and Shen Mo hasn't found a way to open the mechanism yet.
"Here." The three of them searched for a long time, and finally Jiang Qiushui discovered the clue.
On that stone platform.
There was nothing deliberately moved or rotated on the stone platform, but there were some vague things carved on it. Because the surroundings were pitch dark, they had only been looking for magic arrays and magic weapons before, and did not notice that Jiang Qiushui also put his hand on it. I found it accidentally when I was above.
Turning on the flashlight, Shen Mo saw some runes carved on the stone platform. If he hadn't studied runes specifically, he would not have recognized them as runes, but would have regarded them as ancient patterns.
Shen Mo didn't know what the use of these runes were. In fact, there were thousands of Taoist runes. Shen Mo had only learned them in such a short time, but he could recognize a hundred and he would be exhausted.
But it didn't matter whether he recognized it or not, because Shen Mo quickly saw that there was a blank space in the middle of the rune pattern, which was almost perfect for placing the strange-shaped stone.
After lifting the stone, Shen Mo moved it to several different positions and placed it in the middle of a patch of runes. Sure enough, he felt that the runes around him released strange auras, which were just like when he cast the Five Elements Secret Talisman.
Shen Mo, I know, the mechanism should be activated.
"To say that our ancestor is really powerful, other people's mechanisms are just crappy things, but our ancestor's mechanism is also amazing, hehe." Seeing a light slowly flashing on the stone platform, Gu Chen grinned. Got up.
Jiang Qiushui did not dare to relax. She was worried that something might happen if the mechanism was activated.
Slowly, the light on the stone platform floated, and the rays of light turned into runes on the stone platform, floating in the air, and then rushed to the side where Shen Mo was standing.
Enveloped by this light, a door appeared out of thin air on the ground.
In other words, it is a cave entrance, a hole leading to the ground.
The three of them were all speechless in surprise. This was because they had seen a lot of things that were difficult to explain scientifically. If they were ordinary people, they would have been frightened out of their wits.
"Let's... go down?" Gu Chen asked after grunting and swallowing.
Shen Mo walked towards the cave entrance first: "Of course I want to go down, why, are you afraid?"
"I'm afraid of its eggs!" Gu Chen cursed in a low voice and walked down. There were stone steps under the entrance of the cave. In the weak light, it was not possible to see how deep it was.
Snapped!
When the three of them walked down, Shen Mo turned on the flashlight and looked around. He found that this place was a huge space with many twists and turns and was divided by walls. It seemed that they were going to start a carpet search again.
"That black shadow!" Gu Chen's eyes were sharp again. When Shen Mo was shaking his flashlight, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow in a corner and disappeared in a flash.
Shen Mo hurriedly turned the flashlight back, only to find that it was empty and there was nothing there.
"Aren't you blind?" Shen Mo frowned slightly and asked.
"My eyes are five point three, and I will never be blind." Gu Chen said through gritted teeth.
Sure enough, he hid here. Shen Mo searched carefully again, but he never found that figure again. Thinking that they were not too slow on the top before, but they didn't even see the figure open the mechanism. He Is the speed too fast?
"Be careful." He warned in a voice that could only be heard by three people, and Shen Mo walked down first.
Here, Shen Mo felt the breath of the curse power again. The three of them got together, each with a flashlight, and moved forward almost back to back.
The black shadow was really weird, and it was difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. Shen Mo didn't dare to be careless. If the black shadow was not a good thing and attacked them sneakily, they would not be able to resist.
Thinking about the speed and movement of that black shadow, it is simply beyond what humans can achieve.
The situation here is much more complicated than above. There are several long corridors crisscrossing each other, just like a real maze. It is possible to find a magic circle or magic weapon through a carpet search, but it is difficult to find that weird black shadow. It's impossible.
The three of them moved slowly and patiently, searching carefully. It seemed that this place was larger than the one above. They were not willing to waste time coming back to check for any gaps.
"I always feel weird, as if something bad is going to happen." Gu Chen suddenly muttered.
"Shut your crow mouth!" It was not Shen Mo who scolded him, but Jiang Qiushui.
In order to lift the thousands-year-old curse on the Gu family, Jiang Qiushui must use this ancient tomb to find a way to contact the curse.
She wants to redeem herself and the Gu family.
She no longer wants the women of the Gu family to be named Jiang, and she doesn't want to see the women of the Gu family bear the reputation of being unfaithful and unfaithful in the future and become victims of the continuation of the family.
Maybe their ancestors did something wrong, but their descendants should not be allowed to suffer for generations. Thousands of years have passed. Isn't this punishment enough?
With the experience above, the three of them no longer need to carefully examine every item, which would be a waste of time. The three of them only look for unfamiliar and weird-looking things, like the strange-shaped rocks above.
Maybe there is still no magic circle or magic weapon about the power of the outside curse here, but at least there will be mechanisms leading to other places. What they need most is patience and care. As for other things, just ignore it.
"If that black shadow dares to appear again, I will kill him!" Only Gu Chen still couldn't forget the black shadow that appeared in front of him several times. He said he was not afraid, but he felt that the black shadow was still playing tricks on them.
"Look!"
Soon, Shen Mo made a discovery. He pointed his flashlight ahead. Hearing his voice, Gu Chen and Jiang Qiushui both looked over and found several runes on the ground that Shen Mo had noticed.
These runes are carved on the ground and are golden in color. However, the ground is covered with dust now. If you don't look carefully, you can't see these lines of runes at all.
Walking forward, Shen Mo's eyes lit up when he saw these runes. He knew these runes!
In addition to the Five Elements secret talisman, his master Ge Tianshi passed on to him some simple runes, and the runes on the ground were the simplest among them.
It is used to guide the direction.
"Go this way." Shen Mo stood up and walked to the left, his tone unquestionable.
Gu Chen and Jiang Qiu Shui hesitated for a moment, then followed closely. They both wondered why Shen Mo suddenly became so confident. Did he really know these runes?
Shen Mo did not explain, but led the way. After a while, he saw another line of runes.
It is still used to guide the direction.
Following the rows of runes, Shen Mo led Gu Chen and Jiang Qiushui through the darkness, and his pace quickened. He believed that the secret to unlocking one of the mysteries of the ancient tomb must be at the end of the rune guidance.
Of course, unless this is a trap, this possibility is unlikely and can even be ignored.
Every once in a while, there would be a line of runes pointing the way. They walked like this for more than half an hour, but the four of them still hadn't reached their destination.
Shen Mo said nothing, Gu Chen was anxious but knew enough not to ask, while Jiang Qiushui just had a calm look on his face, only observing the rune when he saw it, and seemed to understand a little bit.
"It seems we are reaching the end." Finally, after seeing another line of runes, Shen Mo said with certainty.
Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. If he kept walking like this, his two short legs would be broken.
Following the guidance of this line of runes, Shen Mo finally arrived at their destination, which was a large room located inside or outside the underground palace. The room was empty.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Just when the three of them were about to search here, suddenly, a sound came over. Shen Mo quickly turned around, but saw no one.
"I'm here." A voice came from behind. Shen Mo turned around hurriedly, only to see a person standing in the empty space just now.
A man dressed entirely in black.
Still Caucasian!
Not only Shen Mo, but also Gu Chen and Jiang Qiushui didn't notice the appearance of this man. He seemed to have fallen from the sky, but landed less than five meters away from them.
This man is whiter than the average Caucasian, with almost no blood at all.
The black clothes he wore were well cut, making him look even more handsome. No one knew when he came in, let alone how an anti-foreigner came here.
"I really want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I still wouldn't be able to find the place where the treasure exists. The magical China is really surprising." The black figure said, laughing.
Looking at him, Shen Mo frowned and hesitated a little. He suddenly heard Jiang Qiushui's exclamation from beside him: "Are you... a vampire?!"
"Hahaha, someone can actually know my identity." The man in black took a few steps forward and responded: "Yes, I am a vampire. Little girl, you have good taste. Welcome me, the great Calvin· Dracula!"
"That was you just now?!" Although Shen Mo didn't know what the blood clan specifically meant, looking at the pace of the man in black, Shen Mo couldn't help but exclaimed.
Shen Mo felt very clearly that this Cavin Dracula had a powerful curse and was exactly the same as the figure he saw before. If he guessed correctly, that strange figure was definitely him.
Chapter completed!
