Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 385: maze

Nora’s discovery is an extremely important news for Lawrence. After all, he knows that Nora’s essence is a divinely constructed life form, and only the same level of power can interfere with her ability. can do. This means that the things they are about to face are probably related to the gods.

"Could it be caused by the Holy Grail of the God of Suffering?" Lawrence asked, remembering the purpose of John and the others. "I think it's not just living things that can affect you. Some artifacts with the power of gods should also be able to cause you the same trouble."

"You are right, elder brother." Nora nodded, and then said, "But when I stand here now, I can feel this type of power, and the God of Suffering is sacred and purified. The power is different. What lingers around me now is a power full of rot."

When Nora said that, Lawrence closed his eyes and began to perceive the surrounding environment, and he really felt a rotten power gushing out of the cave behind the stone platform. Although very weak, the personality is not low. If it is an ordinary person standing here, it may take only a few minutes to become weakened by this breath.

Fortunately, Lawrence's Baize bloodline has the ability to purify filth, so it can easily resist the aura containing obvious corrupting power from penetrating into the body. After discovering this, he let out a long sigh of relief. But just in case, Lawrence actively guided Bai Ze's power to form a protective film on the surface of his body.

After solving the trouble of this kind of breath, Lawrence and the others did not continue to walk in, but began to study the reliefs on the surrounding stone walls. He hopes to obtain some information about the previous builders here by studying the contents of these stone carvings, so as to make targeted preparations.

After a quick inspection of the reliefs, Lawrence can confirm that the reliefs carved here are some stories, and the protagonist of the story is a big fish with arms and legs. For example, a carving on the left side of the cave is carved with a pattern of a murloc killing a strange-looking big fish with a spear in his hand.

"In other words, we are likely to face a large group of aquatic creatures in a while." After quickly communicating information through the soul link, Nora said a little nervously. "This is not good news. Compared to fighting on the ground or in the air, I am not good at fighting in water."

"Don't complain, at least you are good at fighting in the water compared to me." Lawrence patted Nora's little head with a distressed expression. After all, Nora is a constructive life, and she is born with The adaptability of the surrounding environment is much stronger than that of flesh and blood.

It is definitely a challenge for Lawrence in the underwater combat team, because although he has a way to breathe underwater, his various movements will also be affected. Not to mention that as an important part of his combat effectiveness, the rifles and pistols on his body are unusable under water.

Fortunately, when they checked the murals and walked into the cave, Lawrence and the others found that although the road in the cave was winding, it was an upward **** as a whole, which meant that if there were no accidents, they should not be unlucky enough to need. Fight in the water with a group of fish that should be intelligent creatures

As they continued to deepen into the cave, more and more human traces appeared in front of them. For example, the stone walls around the cave seem to have been polished with something, and they look much smoother than the previous cave. But the strange thing is that the reliefs that decorated almost the entire entrance just now are not visible here.

"It's a little strange. Under normal circumstances, there will be no engraving at the door but no engraving inside." Lawrence said to the little doll floating beside him as he walked forward. "According to the archaeological data we have, this kind of situation has basically never been found on the ruins that have been built by this race."

"In other words, we may have discovered a brand new race." Nora raised her eyebrows and said, "The ruins were not open to the public last time, because there are too many things involved. But I think this time Our findings should be made public, or at least part of it can be made public. This is indeed a good windfall."

After walking some distance forward, Lawrence and the others came to a small cave hall. Then six fork roads appeared in front of him. After observing for a while, they found that compared with the main road, the fork roads looked very similar in terms of width and overall conditions, making it difficult to tell which one was the real road.

"It's actually a maze, no wonder there are no carvings around." Nora whispered after turning around, "What should we do next? Are you using your divination to find the way for us?"

"Divination may not work." Lawrence first took out the three coins in his hand and closed his eyes to feel the surrounding situation, then opened his eyes and said, "Because of the suppression of the rotten breath that pervades the surroundings, now uses Divination. It needs to consume several times or even ten times the magic power of the past. And if we get closer to the source of this breath, the more magic power is needed to cast the spell. If this is really a maze, I suspect that I might be going out The magic power in the body was completely exhausted before."

"But on the other hand, we have to thank this place for the rotten breath with a little bit of **** power." Lawrence said after looking around the stone hall, "because of the existence of this breath, the other party It is also impossible to arrange any spells related to space. In other words, the size of this maze is limited."

"This is true. This rotten breath has even touched the edge of the concept. There are not many things that can withstand this corrosive force." As Lawrence began to release the paper people to explore the way around, Nora gave these The paper people put on a temporary protective layer made up of the power of faith and said to Lawrence that if they didn't do this, these paper people would lose their power completely and become a piece of paper if they walked out more than ten meters.

"However, this also means that the strength of the building materials that make up this space is far beyond our imagination." After putting a protective layer on the last paper figure, Nora stood up and threw a silver-green interwoven silk thread and beat it. On the wall next to ~lightnovelpub.net~, only a very shallow trace with silver-green light was left.

But as soon as the attack was over, the light on this trace was annihilated by some disgusting yellow-brown liquid appearing on the surrounding walls, and the traces left by the attack healed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye. After ten seconds, the wall was no different from before it was attacked.

"You have also seen it. Neither physical nor occult methods can be used to mark them for a long time. Let alone destroy these walls." Nara touched the spot where she had left the mark on the wall and turned her head to face. Lawrence said. "If it weren't for you to have that special magic, this maze can really trap a lot of people, especially when those who cross the maze are in a hurry."

Although not everyone is like Lawrence with a ship out there that needs to be rescued, the ubiquitous decaying power around will become the most deadly restriction. If it weren't like Lawrence who could use the power of pure faith or the same power for defense, ordinary people could not hold on for too long.

Fortunately, the ability that Lawrence has mastered has a great advantage in facing such a situation. In less than ten minutes, Lawrence found a road through the maze through the strengthened paper people, and then the two people followed this road through the complicated maze. Ten minutes later, their front suddenly opened up and they came to a huge cave hall.
