"Tweet"!
The sound of birdsong broke the silence of the jungle, and a gray-brown bird and beast fell from the sky and landed in the deep pit.
This is the Iron Bird, a carnivorous bird.
In this deep pit that looks like an animal's paw print, it seems that a tragedy has just happened. There are inhuman corpses everywhere, blood red and gray brown mixed together, like Shura Hell.
The iron bird lowered its head and started to peck at the blood-red soil under its feet.
Suddenly, several people appeared next to the pit. They stared at the bottom of the pit solemnly, with gloomy faces.
The sudden movement suddenly frightened away the alert bird. With a flick of its wings, it fled into the jungle and disappeared.
"They are all dead, only a few of us are left!"
"Forget it if you die, they are all cannon fodder anyway, but this ancient tomb is indeed a little weird."
"Damn, what on earth was that just now!"
"It feels like a beast spirit guarding the ancient tomb. Its power is really terrifying. The barbarians actually have such powerful power!"
"I think it's safer to grab some more cannon fodder from the battlefield and give it a try. As long as there are enough people, sooner or later a passage to the inside can be opened."
Several people whispered with lingering fear. They were the group of humans that Chu Xin encountered. The original team of twenty or thirty people now only had a few and four people left. The rest either disappeared into the darkness of the ancient tomb. , or completely turn into flesh under that huge bear paw.
Among the four survivors, they were a strong man with bulging muscles, a slim female mage wearing a fiery red robe, and a square-faced man wearing armor and holding a hammer. In addition, there is a small masked thief with his head curled up like a quail.
Among the four people, the three in front are all five-star professionals, and the little thief behind is only three-star.
The joy of surviving the disaster did not bring any joy to the little thief's face, because he understood that he was also one of the cannon fodder among the three people.
He observed the expressions of the three of them and saw that the other's attention did not seem to be on him. He gritted his teeth, turned around and rushed towards the jungle outside.
But before he ran ten steps away, he felt his feet were empty, and a strong force came from behind. Before he could react, the world was spinning.
When he came to his senses again, he found that he had been thrown into the barbarian tomb.
"If you can take out the treasure inside for us, I will spare your life!" A cold voice came from outside the ancient tomb, making the little thief feel like he was in an ice cave.
This sudden movement suddenly made Chu Xin, who had been waiting, notice it, and he became energetic.
"Finally there's some movement!"
The map's peek screen effect was excellent, but no sound could be heard. Chu Xin could only barely see the movement trajectory of the group through the map.
From the map, Chu Xin watched the four of them from a distance for five or six minutes. After confirming that the battlefield had indeed calmed down, they slowly came closer and gathered together for a while, until they suddenly became active again just now.
The one sent up was a three-star professional. Judging from his strange movement trajectory, he must have been forced in.
Free cannon fodder, no matter how hard it is, Chu Xin controlled the little golden man whose legs were almost numb from squatting and quickly followed him into the barbarian tomb again.
The golden villain came here just for the ancient tomb, and it was impossible to give up because of a sudden situation.
Entering the ancient tomb, the familiar darkness did not come. Chu Xin unexpectedly discovered that the patterns on the walls of the ancient tomb seemed to have malfunctioned. They should have been destroyed by the violent battle fluctuations just now, causing the overall effect of blocking the field of vision to disappear.
It seems that it is not a high-level barbaric pattern, otherwise it will lose its effectiveness after encountering some simple attacks.
The interior of the stone chamber has not changed much, but the corpses inside have disappeared, as if they disappeared out of thin air.
But similarly, the previous animal-shaped shadows also disappeared, and the five doors on the inside seemed unchanged.
It seems that those animal-shaped phantoms that suddenly appear are a protection mechanism of the ancient tomb. When someone tries to destroy the entire ancient tomb, they will be stimulated to appear.
This alerted Chu Xin. If this was the case, Iron Scales would come to dig holes in the ground, which would also inspire these beast-like shadows. If they fail to react in time, I am afraid that the team that comes will end up like the bloody mud at the bottom of the pit.
Those beast-shaped phantoms were indeed terrifying, and definitely far exceeded the five-star strength. If the violent bear-shaped phantom had not been blocked and rushed out, no one would have survived.
"Exploration is very dangerous in reality. The golden villain will try a few more times before giving up!" Chu Xin suddenly made a decision in her heart. There are so many areas to explore outside the northern border. There is no need to hang on this ruin all the time. .
After making the decision, Chu Xin set her sights on the little masked thief in the stone room. He had been squatting in the pit since he entered, and it seemed that he had made up his mind not to actively explore.
"It seems that I still have to do it myself!" Chu Xin sighed and began to look at the entire stone chamber carefully. Previously, because his attention was attracted by the explorers who kept coming in, he did not take a closer look at the entire stone chamber.
The first thing I noticed was the squares. If you look closely, you can indeed see a piece of land that is slightly out of place with the surrounding ground. It should be the trap area.
According to the size of the blocks we saw before, if you want to reach the five doors on the inside, you have to step on at least six grids all the way.
Chu Xin didn't know how much of it was safe and how much was a trap, and there was another question to consider, how to open these five doors.
There is no way of knowing whether there is a trap behind the door or whether it will trigger those beast-shaped phantoms.
"If it were in reality, I should be able to try the levitation technique and the master key, but - eh? There's no keyhole?"
While she was thinking about it, Chu Xin suddenly discovered something strange about the door. Except for the animal totems, it was completely bare and didn't look like a normal door at all.
Need to find an agency?
Chu Xin had a headache. He was not good at this kind of mechanism that looked like a puzzle. If it were replaced by a bunch of wires, he might have some ideas.
"The cube, the five doors, you have to spend your life trying these!"
After sighing, seeing that the masked thief in the stone room still didn't make any movement, he didn't plan to waste any more time here.
These guys outside are really afraid of death. They don't even come in. Even if others try to find the trap, if they don't remember it, the next time someone comes in, they will be killed. This bottomless pit will never be filled.
Chu Xin guessed that these guys were frightened by what happened just now and did not dare to come in. After all, the four-star professionals had been wiped out not long ago.
"Huh? Two are gone?" Chu Xin looked at the situation outside the barbarian tomb and was shocked to find that two of the three people outside were gone. Only the muscular man was left. The female mage and the hammer man seemed to be missing. .
It shouldn't be possible to give up. The greater chance is to deceive cannon fodder. The soldiers on the battlefield will definitely not dare to move, but it should be easy to deceive some scattered adventurers.
With the greedy character of an adventurer, it is not difficult to take the bait. When the time comes, you can go back and say that you have lost your way on the battlefield, and you are not afraid of not being able to explain.
After thinking about it for a while, Chu Xin decided to build a watchtower as a nail in the coffin.
The next time the other party launches a large-scale exploration, the golden villain will just come back to fish in troubled waters.
It was unrealistic to let his own golden villain die over and over again. There were only three resurrections a day, and he also had to take care of the battlefield, so he couldn't waste it all here.
"Dong dong"!
"Sir, breakfast is ready!"
There was a knock on the door, and Harlow's voice sounded outside.
Nowadays, Watchtower No. 44 is unusually wealthy, and everyone has breakfast. You know, in the past, I would just go hungry in the morning, and it would be better to eat some wild vegetable porridge or something to deal with it.
"Okay." Chu Xin responded, stood up, and stretched his body. After controlling the golden man for a long time, his body became a little tired.
Breakfast was simple chicken soup and roast rabbit, the result of the ghost wolf's midnight patrol, and Chu Xin didn't want to treat herself too badly.
"I will still go out today. Please pay more attention to the situation near the watchtower. I always feel that watchtower No. 44 is very trouble-making." After finishing breakfast, Chu Xin wiped her mouth and said to Harold beside her.
Harlow opened his mouth, but hesitated. What he actually wanted to say was that Watchtower 44 was not like this before.
"I will keep a few ghost wolves at home. If something goes wrong -" Chu Xin stopped talking and frowned into a Sichuan shape. She was really afraid of what might happen!
The little golden man who was returning unexpectedly met two familiar guys. They were the two people who disappeared outside the barbarian tomb.
They are moving very fast. Look at the direction and distance, aren't they heading for Watchtower No. 44?
What a loser, I really don’t have a lot of eyesight. I’m looking for cannon fodder, Chu Xin thought angrily.
However, the people here at the watchtower should not dare to move. After all, this is a military building of the Jade Empire and plays an important role. Chu Xin does not believe that the other party can have the courage to kidnap his people from here.
It was more likely that they were being deceived. They didn't dare to touch the serious watchtower guards, but they definitely dared to deceive their lord.
The ruins are not fake. Unlike the regular army, the lords have many restrictions and may not be so loyal to the Jade Empire. With luck, it is not impossible to trick themselves into sending a team.
Of course, there is another situation where the opponent is not from the Jade Empire at all, but some other forces wandering outside the northern border.
This possibility is not very high, but Chu Xin still has to be prepared. If the other party breaks out and insists on coming, he cannot fight an unprepared battle.
"What, what's going on?" Harold noticed something was wrong with Chu Xin's expression, and suddenly became worried, but the army of demons from the abyss was coming to kill him!
"It's okay." Chu Xin waved her hand, signaling Harold not to panic.
Harlow wanted to say it, and I didn't want to either, but in a sensitive place like the watchtower, there was no way not to panic.
Accompanied by the golden man, Chu Xin watched helplessly as he arrived at Watchtower No. 44. The destination was clear and he seemed to know something about this place. These people should be adventurers who wandered off the battlefield.
"Someone is coming!" Harlow said with some surprise as he looked at the two people emerging from the jungle.
Before the two of them got close, they were noticed by Chu Xin from a distance. Such a powerful detection ability made Harlow even more optimistic about this thigh.
What does excellent investigative capabilities mean?
It means that the demon army is coming, and it is great that they can escape in advance.
Chu Xin took a deep breath, suppressed her irritable mood, and whispered, "Go and find out their identities. No matter what they say, just excuse them and deal with them as soon as possible."
Harold was a little strange and didn't quite understand why Chu Xin said that, but he still remembered it in his heart.
After giving orders to Harold, Chu Xin quietly summoned the troops in the camp. The Han soldiers were also equipped with flaming gourds. Regardless of any changes on the other side, he would definitely strike first.
"Hello, are you the person in charge of this watchtower? We are adventurers recruited by the empire."
"Please show me your ID first!" Harlow did not answer his question, but asked according to the procedure.
Originally, he was prepared to be harsher because of Chu Xin's words, but after seeing the other party's strong strength, his tone unknowingly became a little more timid.
The two of them rolled up their sleeves. On them were the magic patterns engraved by the empire, which were also their identity documents. Compared to lords, the treatment of adventurers is still slightly worse.
"Okay, I'm the person in charge of this watchtower."
"It's like this. I heard that there is a lord stationed here at Watchtower No. 44. I wonder if you can help introduce him to him." The one who spoke was the hammer man among the two. His tone was calm, and there was no such thing as a strong man against a weak one. of arrogance.
"Help, please. We have an important matter that we want to discuss with the lord." The female mage next to her helped, her words soft and soft.
Harold was startled, coughed, and said: "I'm sorry, the Lord just discovered the traces of a small group of abyssal demons outside the watchtower and went to chase them. I'm afraid he won't be back soon."
"Can you please tell us where he went?" the female mage flashed her eyes and asked.
"Sorry, the matter is confidential, no comment." Harlow put on a business-like face. Although the two people in front of him are stronger, Harlow can still figure out who is his thigh.
When the female mage and the hammer man heard this, they looked at each other and had to give up. There was no movement on the battlefield today. It seemed that they could only go to the military camp to find someone.
I originally planned to trick someone nearby first, but I didn't expect that the timing was unlucky. Although there were many people in the watchtower, they didn't dare to take action.
The best way is to persuade the lord to explore the ruins together, but now that the other party is not here and there is no one to communicate with, there is no way to continue the conversation.
The two quickly left Watchtower No. 44 and headed towards their next destination.
Chu Xin looked at their backs and blessed them, hoping to find a few more cannon fodder and open the internal passage of the barbarian ancient tomb ruins as soon as possible!
