Chapter 443: Shocked and Surprised
Bata, Bata, Bata...
Karl and others walked forward step by step, making a sound as the wet soles collided with the ground.
Mr. Dao frowned. Although there was no problem for the time being, the soles of the shoes would still make noise when wet. After all, they were not very stable here.
But there is no good way for now. If you want to stay here, you may encounter more dangers.
Some people walked through the gate and stepped onto the palace ground. After taking just two steps, their feet sank slightly. Suddenly, the group's hearts suddenly lifted, and they leaned forward in an instant, jumping straight out.
However, the moment he jumped out, Mr. Dao's heart suddenly jumped. He secretly thought something was wrong and shouted hurriedly: "Don't jump, go back quickly!"
However, it was already too late. Everyone's bodies and reactions were so fast. They jumped far away from the area where they were before in an instant. With their bodies in the air, they could not use any force at all and could only fall forward.
Click, click, click... a crisp sound sounded, and instantly a sound that broke through the air filled their ears.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The sound of arrows piercing the sky made everyone's hearts sink. At this moment, no one dared to hide anything anymore. The sword in Uncle Dao's hand flashed, and the long stick that the old man took out from nowhere made a whistling sound in the dance.
The one-armed Abel and Julie were together, each holding a sword and responsible for a rain of arrows.
The short blade in Miss Li's hand was also spinning rapidly. She got close to Mr. Dao and Uncle Dao, and worked together to fight against the rain of arrows.
They were all very skilled, but the continuous rain of arrows was so impactful that after just one round, their arms felt numb and it was difficult to hold on.
However, what frightened them the most was the sound of the machine's operation. Their hearts suddenly went cold. They could clearly hear that sound, which was the sound of the crossbow being cocked.
This round is not over yet, but the next round is ready.
They must die!
Click...
The crisp sound overwhelmed the sound of the crossbow arrows being cocked, and everyone was shocked. Before they could recover, the sound of the arrow rain was no longer in the air. The next moment, a burst of sound erupted from the ceiling above.
A ball of fire. Then, taking the center of the roof as the center of the circle, rounds of light emerged and spread toward the distance.
Like a flower, it blooms from its bud.
The bright light warms people's hearts, and the flickering flames illuminate the entire hall.
The people who were fighting against the crossbows breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could relax, their pupils suddenly shrank, each of them had a look of shock in their eyes, and their breathing became rapid in an instant.
"This...this is..."
Uncle Dao was a little stuttering, he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Not only him, but also Miss Li next to him, Julie beside him, and even Abel, who had always been calm, didn't know what to say at this time.
They could only look ahead with shock on their faces, even forgetting their own fatigue for a moment.
Wherever they looked, the walls of the palace were surrounded by white bones, starting from the gate they walked through, layer by layer, and then surrounding the entire palace layer by layer, ending on the other side of the entrance.
And at the very center of these bones, at the center of the palace wall.
A skeleton hangs in mid-air, circling the entire hall from beginning to end.
Yes, a complete skeleton completely bypasses the interior of the hall!
Its head is directly above the entrance, and its tail extends into the head.
"What a long snake, no... this is not a snake anymore!" Abel's face showed excitement. He looked at the long snake, stared at the huge head at the door, and looked at the protruding extension on the top of the head.
The two sharp edges.
"This is a dragon! This is an Eastern dragon, a dragon with horns!"
"This kind of life really exists in the world!"
"Yes, there really are dragons, dragons over a hundred meters long..." Mr. Dao was also a little distracted. He looked at the surrounding walls: "These bone walls, other bones are just embellishments, and the real core is only this dragon bone.
…”
"This can't be called a dragon, it's just a dragon."
Karl's voice sounded, and everyone turned their heads, and immediately saw Karl staying at their previous position. At this time, he was holding a piece of white bone in his hand, and looked at the snake bone in front of the door.
"Thank you Mr. Karl, if it weren't for you, we might all have died here just now."
Mr. Dao showed a sigh of relief: "It took me jumping up to realize that the stone might just be a mechanism for lighting the lamp. Our immediate departure is the key to triggering the mechanism."
"Me too." Karl turned his head and smiled and said: "It was just the moment I reacted that I threw the backpack back, deflected the rain of arrows and walked back at the same time."
"Now, this institution is safe."
As he spoke, he continued to turn his head and look at the huge snake bone.
Uncle Dao San and others looked at the arrows on the ground, and then at the sagging stone slab under Karl's feet. They were still a little scared. At this time, they already understood the operation of the mechanism. Stepping down on part of it would make the Arrow Rain Mechanism operate.
But as long as they don't leave at that time, the palace will be lit with lamps and the crossbows will be hidden in the walls.
But their departure will exactly trigger the design of the crossbow.
The cleverness of this mechanism is that it makes use of the explorer's psychology. Except for those who know from the beginning that nothing will happen if they stand on it, who else can hear the sound of the mechanism without getting nervous and allowing their body to act subconsciously?
Even treasure hunters like Abel and others who have traveled many places still found the way.
However, no one has the intention to pay attention to this delicate mechanism now. Their eyes all fall on the wall of bones and the winding keel!
Even if I don’t know how many years have passed, even if only the bones are left.
However, the terrifying body and terrifying skeletons that were more than 100 meters long still brought an unspeakable shock to people's hearts.
Even facing the bones, they felt the urge to worship.
It is a primitive worship of powerful life.
"I'm afraid this place is to worship this dragon, right?" Abel took a deep breath: "Such an existence was simply a miracle in ancient times... Even in modern times, it is a shocking discovery that can shock the world.
.”
"Is there really life on land that can grow to this length?" Miss Li's eyes were full of disbelief.
"The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders..." Abel opened his mouth, but he couldn't continue.
There are indeed many miracles in nature, and many shocking beauties, but... this dragon is definitely not a natural evolution!
It is a miracle! Only a miracle can explain why a snake turned into a dragon and grew so huge!
Karl took a step forward and left the spot. He took a deep look at the dragon's skeleton, then turned to a few people and said: "Don't look, you can't see anything if you look again...compared to this
With skeletons, we haven’t explored this hall yet.”
"Since there is such a miracle here, I believe that there must be the information we need here!"

Jiang Xian walked into the passage of Yun Chui Zhen. The passage here had no lights and was completely dark.
The turned off flashlight was turned on again, and the condensed light beam made the surroundings clear.
The same road and smooth walls as outside, and there seemed to be no danger lurking in them.
But no one dared to be careless at all.
In such an environment, carelessness often equals death.
After walking for a while, Jiang Xian's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Tick tock…
The water droplets fell down and landed one step in front of him. He raised his head and looked upward. There were no bricks and stones there, only exposed rocks. Some water droplets were condensed on the sharp parts, but most of them had not reached the point of falling.
situation.
A slight cold breeze hit everyone, and everyone was a little bit more energetic.
They continued to move forward, but after walking for a while, Jiang Xian stopped again.
Tick tock…
The familiar sound of water sounded, and everyone raised their heads and saw the familiar rocks above.
"Are we lost?" Zhuang Yuliang frowned: "No... we have always been walking on the same path. Could it be that this Chuiyun Formation is actually a dead end?"
Zhuang Yushan, who was next to him, shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be...it might be a layout similar to a ghost beating a wall."
As he spoke, a short blade appeared in his hand, he drew it towards the wall and said, "Mr. Jiang, I left a mark here."
"Okay." Jiang Xian nodded and frowned: "This Chuiyun Formation is different from what I thought at first... Everyone, please be careful. I don't know what changes will happen here."
He said and continued to lead the way. After a while, he stopped again.
Everyone looked up and still saw the familiar rock. Zhuang Yushan turned to look at the wall next to him, and then the expression on his face softened slightly: "Mr. Jiang, there is no mark. It seems that it is not a ghost wall arrangement, but a design.
Just a few similarities."
"The rocks above are deliberately not covered with stone bricks. They have been modified to form similar shapes to mislead us and amplify our emotions."
Jiang Xian nodded, looked up attentively, turned around and looked at Ling Xiaozi:
It won't be that simple.
They all knew in their hearts that the layout here would not be so simple or childish.
It's just that the information is limited now, and they can't figure out what exactly is going on.
"Go ahead." Jiang Xian paused as he spoke, then looked at Zhuang Yushan and said, "Senior Zhuang, you continue to leave marks, but you have to leave different marks, preferably ones that can be distinguished at a glance."
"I understand." Zhuang Yushan nodded and drew a checkmark on the wall with his short blade.
Everyone continued to move forward. This time Jiang Xian did not stop midway and walked for more than ten minutes. Zhuang Yushan's eyes suddenly shrank when he was observing the surroundings. He instantly jumped out to the side and came to the front of the wall.
He breathed slightly and stared at the wall carefully, even reaching out to touch the wall.
Then he raised his head and looked upward.
This time, there was no protruding sharp rock, but this sight filled him with fear.
Chapter completed!
