Chapter 42 Five rooms
"Be careful. There seems to be a strange aura here, maybe there are some powerful creatures."
Yu Yueming whispered to remind his companions, and at the same time he took light steps to sense the source of the odor of leather.
They carefully circled the corridor and roughly figured out the structure here.
The shape of the corridor is a ring. The size should be the center of the tower they climbed up. There are five door frames on the outside of the ring, which are equidistantly distributed from each other. The door frames are filled with huge stone slabs, which may be the same as the previous secret passage, and need to be opened with brute force.
The strongest place in the leather smell is the door frame farthest from the arch. The smell behind the door frame is so strong that Lu Song smoke can be vaguely smelled. After discussing, the two players decided to bypass this place first, explore other places first, and find the treasures required by the mission.
Yu Yueming chose a random direction and pushed open the stone slab in the door frame.
The huge stone slab quietly slid to the side, revealing the appearance of the room behind it.
The shape of this room was somewhat beyond the expectations of both players.
Generally speaking, most rooms are set in shapes such as square or round to better utilize the space. However, the room is triangular, with the door frame sitting on one of the sides, facing a sharp corner of the triangle in front.
In addition to the shape, the decoration of this room is also a bit confusing - there are rows of tall stone shelves in the room, and a series of huge hooks are hung on the top. There are no items placed or hanging on them, making it difficult to understand their purpose.
Yu Yueming sniffed the shelf and checked the gaps between the walls and the floor.
“It smells of blood.”
Lu Songyan shook his head: "I can't smell it."
"It was probably the blood that was left a long time ago. I felt that the smell was already very light." Yu Yueming replied while tracking the source of the smell, and soon found some fragmented bones behind the shelf.
Even if it was just a slag, it could be seen that the size of these bone owners was far beyond most creatures. Yu Yueming converted it and felt that the creature to which the bone belonged should have an elephant-like body shape.
The cross-section of the bone looks a little fresh, not like it should appear in a mysterious ruins room.
Yu Yueming investigated and made inferences.
"I think this place is like a storage room, the kind that stores food. The ones that were stored in the first place should be raw meat. Although I don't know how long it was built, this room may have special preservation measures to prevent the meat from rotting."
Lu Songyan circled around the room around the wall, climbed onto the shelf to check the ceiling, and finally shook his head and spread his hands, saying that he had not found a hidden space.
Yu Yueming glanced at the panel and found that the task had not been completed yet, so he immediately proposed.
"So let's go to the next room first."
The second room they opened still looked like a triangle, filled with stone boxes, each box about half a meter high, stacked densely together.
There are no gaps on the side of the stone box, and the sound of knocking on it sounds solid. If it weren't for the few open empty boxes placed next to it, they would have thought that there were huge stone bricks here.
Yu Yueming sniffed next to the empty box, feeling that there was still a smell that disgusting him inside, which was almost the same as the light green stones made of the corridor outside.
He wanted to check what was placed in the stone boxes, but the stone boxes were stacked at a height of almost three meters. At the height of the two of them, it was not easy to drag a box out of the top or the middle.
After observing the terrain here, looking at the structure of the empty boxes and the gaps above the pile of boxes, Yu Yueming quickly got an idea.
"I'll go up and take a look."
After saying that, he took a few steps back, looked at the distance carefully, then accumulated his strength to run, and rushed directly to the top of the stone box.
It is not difficult for him to jump to this height, but his physical fitness is how to jump accurately into a gap that is only more than one meter above the stone box, rather than hitting the ceiling directly. He would not dare to do this without the previous jumping training beside the cliff wall.
After successfully landing, he observed the situation of the stone box under his feet.
The lids of these stone boxes are a whole piece of stone slab carved with complex patterns, and a handle was chiseled in the center of the stone slab. Yu Yueming struggled to lift the lid with his claws and saw the contents of the stone box.
It was a box of five-pointed star-shaped pale green stones.
These star-shaped stones are about the size of someone's palms, with complex patterns printed on the surface. The patterns of each stone are exactly the same, and they look like they are cast from the same mold.
Yu Yueming instantly burst out with hair, his nose wrinkled, his fangs revealed, and he let out a low roar.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that something was abnormal, Lu Songyan jumped up quickly, grabbed the edge of the stone box with his fingers, and relied on the strengthened force to support his body with force, climbed up to the top of the stone box pile, and saw Yu Yueming staring at a whole box of light green star stones hostilely.
"...It's nothing." Yu Yueming took a few deep breaths to suppress his desire to attack. "However, these things remind me of some stories I've seen before, and I have a bad guess."
"Is this thing dangerous?" Lu Songyan pointed to the star-shaped stones vigilantly.
"No, it should be...no danger. I just hate their smell."
After calming down his mind, Yu Yueming did not continue to explain, but opened the remaining stone boxes.
The contents of these stone boxes seemed to be consistent. Because they were afraid that too much noise would cause danger, the two of them did not thoroughly check the stone boxes for the time being, but chose to investigate the remaining rooms first.
Yu Yueming stretched out his claws and pulled the star-shaped stones, and found that although there were patterns, their surfaces were extremely smooth, so he could hardly use his claws to pick up the stones.
"Take some down there, so as not to climb up if you want to check these things later." Yu Yueming suggested.
Lu Songyan nodded and put some star-shaped stones in a bag on it.
There are also many stone shelves like shelves in the third room, and many strange items are placed on it.
Those items are full of artifacts, but they do not belong to any of the items that the two are familiar with - some of the objects on these shelves look like a ball of knotted wire, some of them are scattered with disorderly tangled tentacles, and some of them are like fragments of geometric blocks dissolved and pieced together. The role of these items is completely unseen.
The fourth room was placed with several huge hollow glass columns, filled with light green water, and many black spheres as big as basketballs were suspended in the water.
The two rooms are equipped with items that are beyond their common sense, so they could only check it out briefly and found no useful information.
Yu Yueming looked at the lower panel and the task of finding the treasure was not completed.
