Chapter 16 Inside the Pyramid
Xiao Yi didn't realize that he was a bad person. He dared to lead the way at the forefront because he had already remembered the terrain map of the maze in his mind. Judging from the hand-drawn picture in Chen Pingnan's notebook, the number of traps and mechanisms in this maze is still very limited. Although the difficulty is not low, the terrain is not complicated. Xiao Yi quickly matched the place where he is currently and the map in his memory.
Yan Ling turned on the searchlight to the maximum power, which could project far away, illuminating the corridor ahead like daylight, and greatly reducing the probability of Xiao Yi encountering a trap.
The middle-aged uncle was trying hard to talk to Wang Dong. His name was Shen Ming. He was an ordinary university teacher. His wife was bedridden all day due to illness. She was in debt for treatment. The child had just entered kindergarten. The high teaching costs were also unbearable. This man was under too much pressure. He wanted to play games and relax at school on weekends, but he clicked the icon of the Gods and Demon Arena.
After learning that the honor points after winning in the arena could be exchanged for cash, the man almost cried with joy. It seemed that compared with the pressure of his family, the fear of death had weakened a lot.
"I'm going to go out alive anyway!" the man said silently.
The young man of Huangfa also introduced himself slightly. His name is Huang Qing. He is a veteran who has experienced 8 competitions. The AK submachine gun in his hand is also a rare prop. The attack power is unknown. However, according to Huang Qing himself, his main enhanced gun skills allow him to have the ability to fire different types of bullets, and his strength is also good.
As we were walking, a magnificent reminder suddenly came from everyone's mind: One person was killed in the Demon camp, the Gods camp vs. the Demon camp, the current score is 1:0
This prompt made everyone happy, and Wang Dong and Yan Ling almost jumped up cheerfully. The middle-aged uncle Shen Ming also stretched out his mouth and grinned. He had already understood the rules. As long as the score won, he could get the honor points and then exchange them for cash.
The young man with yellow hair whistled and gloated, "See it. The idiots in the demon camp probably triggered the trap because they went out to wander around. Maybe we will be the next one. But if you really want to encounter a trap, it is Xiao Yi who died first, haha, I am looking forward to it."
"Shut up your crow's mouth!" Wang said angrily.
"What! Am I wrong? At this time, you should return to that safe stone room as usual until the end of the game!" Huang Qing was still worried.
The two of them were quarreling again, so Yan Ling hurriedly went to persuade him.
Xiao Yi didn't care. His brows frowned without a trace. The prompt sound just now made him feel relieved, but he showed an expression of not being too happy. He sighed softly in a voice that only he could hear: "Can't the people in the demon camp buy information at all? If so, my plan is probably going to fail."
About an hour away, the winding single corridor finally came to an end. Under the strong searchlight, the end of the corridor is a place similar to a hall, very wide.
Here we come! Sure enough, the map in the notebook is correct!
Xiao Yi slowed down a little, let Wang Dong go to the front, and told him to hold the round shield in front of him, and activate the shield strike skill out of thin air to rush into the room.
Wang Dong was unclear, but he still raised his shield as he did, and rushed over about one meter away from the hall. At the same time, he activated the shield strike skill in the void. The shield strike skill can increase the physical defense of his shield by a level within ten seconds, which is almost the physical defense power evaluated by E.
The moment the shield strike was launched, three black iron tubes suddenly stretched out from the wall in front of the hall, and several slender short arrows shot towards them. There was a jingling sound of arrows falling on the shields. The attack power of these arrows was very average, but the number was quite large, and they were constantly shooting.
Xiao Yi rushed into the hall with one step, bypassed the axis of the arrow shooting, quickly approached from the side, swung the bone-eating magic sword, raised his sword and fell. E evaluated the attack power easily cut off the three iron pipes like cutting mud, and the rain of arrows was interrupted at the same time.
"You can come in." Xiao Yi said calmly to Yan Ling and others, patted Wang Dong's shoulder again, and encouraged him: "It's done well."
"Brother Xiao, how do you know there is an agency here?" Wang Dong asked half fear and half admiration.
Xiao Yi explained: "As a safe passage ends, and then there is a mechanism trap. Isn't it all performed on TV? Your shield strike can temporarily increase your defense to E-rated evaluation, and blocking these arrows is no problem."
"So that's it. I was scared to death just now!" Wang Dong accepted the answer.
"There is indeed a trap. If I were the first one, I would definitely be dead." The middle-aged uncle Shen Ming looked at Xiao Yi gratefully.
Yan Ling's eyes were a little confused, but it flashed away. As for the young man Huang Qing, she looked up and down with a profound meaning, and then sat down and started to rest.
"Eat something to rest." Xiao Yi turned off his flashlight and wanted Yan Ling to turn off the searchlight too. After all, that thing consumes a lot of power, and I don't know if it can last for two days, but the girl was afraid of the darkness and insisted on only lowering the power.
Shen Ming took the initiative to sit over with Xiao Yi. The trap just now made him even more grateful to Xiao Yi. At least Xiao Yi did not let him be cannon fodder for stepping on the trap.
"Do you smoke?" Shen Ming took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms and handed them over, and took the initiative to find the topic.
Xiao Yi waved his hand. He didn't smoke, but he felt a little moved and asked, "Did your cigarette be brought from reality?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Let me see." Xiao Yi took the cigarette and looked at the information. He suddenly realized that the information displayed by this pack of cigarettes was ragged, in other words, it was useless in the arena.
According to the rules, reality and any props and equipment in the arena cannot be communicated freely, and corresponding honor points must be paid, but this kind of rag-level thing does not seem to be within this range.
In this way, Xiao Yi can bring more water and food from reality in the future, and there is no need to spend money on honor points to exchange every time. Although the price is cheap, no matter how small the mosquito meat is, it is still meat.
"Huh? There seems to be something on this wall." Shen Ming, who was smoking a smoke, looked at the walls around the hall in surprise, and then turned to Yan Ling and said, "Please turn on the lights a little."
"This..." Yan Ling looked at Xiao Yi, who nodded quietly and followed Shen Ming to the edge of the wall.
As the searchlight power was adjusted to the maximum, the hall was reflected as daytime. The hall was about four or five meters high and supported by four dilapidated stone pillars. The surrounding walls were not the smooth yellow walls in the corridor, and some strange patterns were burned scattered on them.
"What kind of talisman is this? I can't understand it at all." Huang Qing also came over and glanced at him in curiosity, and soon lost interest and continued to go back to rest.
Shen Ming carefully touched each pattern and said excitedly: "No, this is not a ghost talisman, but a text, a text of ancient Egyptian civilization!"
Wang Dong scratched his head and said, "This map is called the pyramid ruins. It is normal for Egyptian characters to appear. Forget it, I'd better eat something first."
Yan Ling also sat back quickly, obviously not interested in these Egyptian characters. The arena did a very good job in simulation, and it was completely normal for ancient characters to appear.
Xiao Yi looked at Shen Ming, who was possessed by the devil, and asked curiously: "Do you know Egyptian characters?"
"Oh, I almost forgot to say that the course I taught in college is ancient world history, and I have also studied the texts of these ancient civilizations." Shen Ming answered and continued to focus on these texts.
Xiao Yi's heart moved and asked again: "Can you translate these words for me?"
"No problem, but I have to give me some time. These hieroglyphs are a little different from the ancient Egyptian characters I have ever been exposed to, but fortunately, the essence is still similar."
After waiting for half an hour, until Huang Qing and others were extremely impatient, Shen Ming finally walked back, rubbed his temples, and said distressedly: "Sorry, I have only translated some of the texts, and there are a few that are too rare to understand, but this passage is very strange and I can't understand."
"Read it to me." Xiao Yi said.
Shen Ming nodded and slowly recited it along the hieroglyphs on the wall: "The most faithful guardian of the gods, the great Dharma God, and the supreme glory belongs to you... The battle between gods and demons fell as a result... With his relics, we sacrifice here to awaken the supreme power."
"Is it gone?"
"Yes." Shen Ming nodded ashamed: "Sorry, I didn't help. I guess many of the text here have been lost for a long time, and there is no record of the information in reality."
"It sounds like he is offering sacrifices to a fallen god." Yan Ling guessed.
"Is there a magic god in ancient Egypt?" Wang Dong said suspiciously: "Why do you think you are reading a fantasy novel?"
"It's useless." Huang Qing urged without interest: "We are here to fight the demon camp, not to give academic reports!"
"Are the relics?" Xiao Yi thoughtfully and nodded, "Everyone has a good rest, so let's continue to set off."
"Speaking of this, where are we going?" Shen Ming, who continued to set off, couldn't help asking.
"Go to the top of the pyramid, this pyramid is divided into three levels." The answer was Huang Qing.
Xiao Yi was a little surprised: "Do you know the map information?"
"It's not counting information. I learned it from my teammates who competed together last time. This information is not valuable. What is really valuable is the distribution map of traps in various agencies! Especially the kind of all-round, you can't even buy it without three thousand honor points." Huang Qing glanced at Xiao Yi again, but the latter did not look back on him.
"Didn't someone sell the forum with a thousand honor points?" Wang Dong couldn't help asking.
Huang Qing laughed and said, "You are an idiot! You believe whatever others sell? Do you don't understand the principle of being traitorous or not?"
Xiao Yi was stunned and slowed down and listened carefully. After all, the other party was a veteran who had experienced 8 competitions, and many common sense things were still much older than him.
Wang Dong said angrily: "In other words, is a lot of information in the trading area fake?"
Huang Qing ridicule: "It's not fake, because every time the transaction information is released, it will be automatically reviewed by the system. It's impossible to publish false information, but the intelligence information may not be comprehensive."
"What does it mean?" Wang Dong still didn't understand.
Xiao Yi suddenly realized: "I understand. For example, the maze map with 1,000 honor points is only the terrain of this pyramid at most. After all, no one would be bored to explore everywhere in such a place."
