Chapter 1194: What the Hero Sees
Compared with the calm Rod, Cassadine looked quite suspicious - he never expected in advance that Rod would directly open the door without saying a word, completely out of the rules.
"This ...... What do we do next? Looking at Rod, who was not worried at all, Cassadine was a little confused, "Without the teleportation of this door, how can we go to the various tombs?" ”
"Use it away." "Don't forget, we've had two teams of uninvited guests before, and there's no guarantee that they'll leave some traps on their hands – we'd better stay off the beaten track just to be on the safe side." ”
As he spoke, Rhodes led by example and created an arcane force field, levitating both himself and Cassadine in mid-air.
"But, according to the scavengers, this mausoleum is full of traps and curses......"
"Trust me." Rod turned his head to look at Cassadine, "The trap that was just laid is far more dangerous than the thing that was laid a thousand years ago and I don't know if it can be used now......
As he spoke, Rhodes spotted a trap hidden in the shadows, and with a wave of his hand, a humanoid block of ice stepped on it, and then it was blown into a room full of ice chips.
"Quietly this trap." Rod patted a sluggish Cassadine on the shoulder, "The trap left behind by the guys in front of us is a little rough, but it's still very commendable in terms of power - oh, the explosives in this trap seem to be Hex's directional blasting device...... There's an exodus of this stuff too? ”
Cassadine obviously didn't quite understand what Rod had just said about the Hex directional blast, but after seeing a violent explosion with his own eyes, he also understood what Rod meant.
It seems that the Noxians and the sand pirates in front of them are deliberately wary of possible third parties!
"You don't need to be too nervous, though." Seeing Cassadine unleash the purple blade of the underworld, Rod said in a relaxed tone, "As long as you are ready to escape from the space at all times, they are like that!" ”
……………………
In this way, the confident Rod and the cautious Cassadine swaggered through many of the tombs—and as a result, most of them were empty.
The empty tomb was hard to tell if it had been emptied long ago or had just been ransacked, but whatever was going on, Rhodes and Cassadine needed to speed up their actions again.
"If we still can't keep up with them, we'll have to wait around the neighborhood." Entering an empty tomb again, Rod finally couldn't help but frown his brow, "These bastards are fast enough...... And it looks like it's working together, which is not scientific! ”
Then, just as Rhodes was about to leave the room, the ground suddenly shook a few times.
"Huh?!"
The sudden tremor made Rod and Cassadine go on their heads, but the direction of the tremor seemed to be the direction that Rod wanted to go, so he and Cassadine simply gave up the search for the tombs for the time being, and quickly moved towards the place where the tremor occurred without touching the ground.
And before they could get any farther, an even more violent tremor occurred—this time, apparently because of the proximity to the center, and Rod's experience of the earthquake became more apparent.
It's not a conventional earthquake – as the discoverer here, Rhodes knew very well that this kind of mausoleum, partially buried in the sand, would not be affected by earthquakes.
Because for the whole desert, this mausoleum is like a ship in the sea that will not capsize, although it may be buried deeper and deeper with the passage of time, but it will never be destroyed by the earthquake.
Even if there is an earthquake in the Dasai Desert, this mausoleum will not shake.
But the two tremors were so clear and clear that it was evident that someone else had caused this terrible tremor.
The situation is a bit delicate.
Rhodes couldn't tell if something was alarming in the tomb or if the Noxians and the sand thieves were fighting again, but whatever the case was, something had changed.
"Speed up." Rod and Cassadine made a tacit judgment, "Don't worry about these tombs for now, go straight inside!" ”
In this way, Rhodes and Cassadine gave up their search for these burial chambers and began to move directly towards the depths of the tombs.
……………………
After disposing of the Nth trap, Rod and Cassadine, suspended in mid-air, finally arrived at the scene where the previous tremor occurred.
After turning a corner, there was a huge dome hall, which was already a blur of flesh and blood, and a huge puppet was chasing and killing the sand thieves who were scurrying with their heads in their arms.
Careful enough, Rhodes and Cassadine did not attract anyone's attention, and they quietly observed the scene inside at the entrance of the Yongdao—the sand thieves who were running all over the ground and crying for their fathers and mothers seemed to be bewildered in some way, and could not see the large entrance at all, and could only struggle in vain in the dome hall and resist powerlessly.
"Have you ever seen this big guy?" Rod whispered beyond Cassadine and asked, "This thing is a little bigger, it doesn't look very easy to handle." ”
"I haven't seen it, absolutely not." Cassadine said firmly, "I've never seen a similar sculpture - it's probably that according to the normal process, I can't see it, and only those who destroy the mausoleum will be attacked by it." ”
"In other words, it was these sand thieves who destroyed the mausoleum before?" Rod touched his chin, "But...... To be honest, I always felt that these guys were not at that level. ”
“…… You're quite right. Just when Rhodes felt strange, a voice came from the secret door of the corridor, "These brainless idiots naturally don't have any level. ”
Rod looked up—and with the sound of scales scraping against the ground, a "slender" figure appeared in front of him.
The turquoise snake eyes, the sizzling snake sound, the meandering crawl - Rod recognized this half-human, half-snake guy for the first time.
"I was just doing it carefully, but I didn't expect that there were really two little mice that fell into the trap...... It's interesting, it looks like I've got two more tools to find my way. ”
"And it's still a very advanced tool......
"I'm the best of all to take advantage of brainless guys like you."
Faced with the sudden appearance, Cassadine immediately showed the blade of the underworld, and then looked at Rhodes - and then, to his surprise, Rod did not say attack or escape, but greeted the comer with a smile.
"Is that so, Miss Cassiopeia?" Rod's enthusiastic attitude was like an old friend who had been reunited for a long time, "This is such a coincidence, I think so too!" ”
