It took a while before Lin Wu came back to his senses.
Her vision was pitch dark, and she fumbled to sit up.
During the struggle just now, the flashlight Lin Wu was holding was lost somewhere. At this time, she could only find a spare flashlight.
But because he fell into the water just now, Lin Wu's backpack was soaked, and most of the things inside were unusable. Only the bag Bai Jing gave her was waterproof. Lin Wu took out a small flashlight and turned it on. The light was weak, but it was enough for Lin Wu to see the surrounding environment clearly.
She was actually in a stone path at the moment, with walkable roads leading directly to both sides.
The air was relatively humid, and the stone walls were covered with a layer of moss, reflecting a faint cold light. This made Lin Wu wonder if the stone path was under the river, or at least close to it.
There is no secret door in sight. Can we only use mystical magic to open a passage? So this is where the archaeological team members went after they disappeared? If so, I don’t know whether the entrances and exits where Bai Jing and Bai Ning’s accident happened also need to rely on mystical magic, or whether they are actual passages.
Thinking about this, Lin Wu stood up, checked the contents of her backpack first, stuffed the ones that could still be used into the bag Bai Jing gave her, and left the rest in place to reduce the weight.
Then he looked at himself and saw that he was soaked all over. But there was nothing he could do. Lin Wu didn't bring a change of clothes, so he could only make do with it.
She tried her best to wring out the water from her clothes to make herself feel better, and then looked at both sides, both of which were equally quiet and profound.
Lin Wu tried to look for traces of someone walking there, but there were none, so he simply walked to the left based on his intuition.
Not to mention anything else in the passage, Lin Wu's first intuitive feeling was that it was cold. She was so cold that she kept sneezing and had to keep moving her hands and feet to keep warm. The flashlight could only illuminate a limited area. Lin Wu tensed up and paid attention to his surroundings as he walked.
Unexpectedly, Lin Wu realized one thing first - she had walked for more than ten minutes, and the passage seemed unchanged, as if she had been spinning in circles.
Lin Wu found the dagger and marked it with a few cuts on the wall every time he walked through a passage. At the same time, he looked at the compass to record the direction and distance traveled, and drew an invisible map in his mind.
After a while, Lin Wu stopped and frowned at the familiar mark left not long ago on the wall.
She really never went out, she just walked around here. how so? She clearly didn't remember that she had walked the same path again.
Suddenly, Lin Wu suddenly wondered, could he not believe what he saw with the naked eye? In other words, was she trapped in some kind of occult illusion? ?
Thinking of the mysterious magic he had experienced when he fell, Lin Wu thought it was possible, so he bit the wound on his finger, drew a curse mark out of thin air based on the blood, and wiped it on his eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw a completely different scene!
There were strands of white light spots floating in the air, connected to each other to form the lines of the spell. The strands spread in the same direction, looming, and the aura contained was even more profound and subtle, full of pressure, making Lin Wu Just looking at it makes my eyes sting, making it difficult to look straight.
Lin Wu closed his eyes to relax and followed.
After a few steps, she stopped in front of a wall, but those bright and flickering light spots disappeared into the wall!
Could it be that this wall is just a cover-up?
Lin Wu reached out and touched the cool stone wall, then took a few steps back.
According to what she learned, no matter how powerful the illusion is, it is all fake and cannot become true. It all depends on whether the person has the courage and willpower to believe it.
Thinking of this, Lin Wu quickly changed her hand gestures to form a seal between her eyebrows. A chill instantly appeared in her mind, telling her to be more awake and stay calm, and a vague protective barrier appeared around her body.
She took a deep breath, rushed forward, and hit the stone wall.
At the critical moment, Lin Wu closed his eyes subconsciously.
The expected pain did not appear. Lin Wu staggered a few steps and immediately stood up and opened her eyes - she had really passed through the stone wall and came to a strange passage!
The traces of the spell still existed in the air. Lin Wu calmed down and continued walking, passing through the stone wall four or five times in the same situation.
The smoother it went, the more doubtful Lin Wu became.
Did those on the previous archaeological team encounter the same situation? How did they get out? Could it be that there is a mysterious master in the archaeological team who has seen through the mysterious arts here? If not, why didn't she see any signs of other people being trapped when she circled before?
Not only was there no trace, it was so quiet here that it seemed like she was the only one who had been here.
Thinking wildly, Lin Wu found that this time he walked along the stone path to the end, and what he saw was no longer a stone wall, but a stone door.
The surface of this stone door is smooth and dull, but there is no carving on the lock body. But Lin Wu saw the source of the magic gathered on the stone gate.
Lin Wu stepped forward and pushed the door, but did not push.
Is this stone gate also a deception?
Lin Wu gave it a try and hit the stone door directly. It turned out that it was really a solid stone door. Not only did Lin Wu not get through, he was knocked dizzy and stunned for a moment.
She had to feel around the door and around. No mechanism was found, and it was initially determined that this stone door should also need to be opened using mystical magic.
But if this is not an illusion, what else could it be? To crack it, you must first know what magic has been applied to it.
While thinking about it, Lin Wu glanced at the connected viewpoints in mid-air, and suddenly thought that the stone walls she had passed through were deceptions, but that did not mean that the light spots that led her here were also traces of deceptions.
In fact, she saw many forks in the road after passing through the stone wall. Not only the path she took had traces of magic, but also other paths. The traces of magic shown on these roads have something in common, for example, they all originate from behind this door.
Therefore, behind the stone gate is the most important key location here, as it serves as the center connecting all directions. It is not easy to completely hide the weaknesses of such a huge spell. There will definitely be traces.
Lin Wu squatted down and traced all the spell patterns he had seen on the ground with the tip of his knife. He muttered words in his mouth, trying to find the rules of operation, and then deduce the solution based on what he had learned.
This took Lin Wu half an hour.
At any rate, all the hard work paid off, and Lin Wu really pulled it off!
She immediately stood up, drew a line into her palm, and formed a seal with the overflowing blood, and penetrated the deeply hidden magic in the stone door, forcing it to appear on the door, and the huge circular magic disk floated slowly. Rotating, it becomes clearer and clearer.
Lin Wu quickly found its weakness and scattered it with a single palm.
In an instant, the stone door burst open as the spell collapsed, and the scenes inside came into view bit by bit.
Lin Wu unexpectedly discovered that although there were such obscure and complex magical protections on the outside, there was nothing earth-shattering and incredible inside.
It was just a stone room inside, not even very big, only about thirty square meters. And it was empty, except for a rectangular stone platform in the middle, and an object of the same size on it, which looked a bit like... a coffin... a coffin? ?
“Is this originally a tomb??”
Lin Wu rubbed his eyes and looked again, but it was still the same, and he immediately became vigilant.
Judging from her past experience, if there is such a coffin in a place that is so secretive and protected from outsiders, there is probably something very dangerous in the coffin.
But her tattoo did not come out to remind her, indicating that the situation inside was still within her control.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Wu finally decided to go in.
As soon as he got closer, Lin Wu was shivering coldly, as if there was thousands of years of ice in the stone chamber, and there were gusts of cold wind.
After approaching, he raised the flashlight to look at it. Lin Wu was startled for a moment.
The coffin had no lid and she could see directly inside. The first thing she noticed was the light reflected from the coffin wall, which actually contained ice. It cannot be seen from the outside because the coffin is divided into two layers. The inner layer is made of ice, and the outer layer is made of unknown black material to make a coffin that is attached to the ice coffin.
And inside the ice coffin, there was actually a man lying in a cloth robe. He was slender and straight, wearing half a mask, which could cover 80% of his face.
Although he couldn't tell his appearance, the pair of narrow phoenix eyes that were slightly closed, the thin red lips and the chin were also clear and sharp, showing a coldness, which together showed that he was probably a very young man.
However, Lin Wu couldn't think too much at the moment, she was only surprised.
——This man is not decayed and is as lifelike as before? ! (End of chapter)
