Based on the situation at the entrance to the mausoleum, Rhodes quickly reconstructed the situation at the time of the battle.

First of all, judging by the casualties on both sides, it is likely that the sand pirates have suffered - their corpses are obviously much larger.

But if nothing else, the sand pirates should be ambushers, on the one hand, because the old scavenger said that he informed the Noxians of the content of the trial; On the other hand, most of the Noxians who died were back wounded.

In other words, the sand thieves fought a beautiful ambush before the Noxians were forced to fight back.

Realizing this, Rod couldn't help but frown.

Looks...... Zeroth's combat effectiveness is not good.

But Rhodes couldn't tell what the outcome of the battle would be - while the dried corpses buried under the yellow sand could provide some information, the rest of the battle had long since disappeared in the sandstorm, and Rhodes couldn't be sure if the sand pirates' crowd tactics had worked, or if the Noxians had finally succeeded in fighting back.

But theoretically, the greatest possibility is that the two sides reached a certain degree of consensus, stopped the fighting, and entered the mausoleum together.

Although Rhodes did not know what the fulcrum of the consensus was, the mausoleum's open door that was about to be buried by the wind and sand certainly proved it.

"What do we do next?" Cassadine also seemed to be a little hesitant in the face of this situation, "go straight to the mausoleum or ......"

"Let's go." In the blink of an eye, Rhodes made a decision, "There's no way to tell when they entered the mausoleum—and time isn't on our side." ”

"Don't you have any means to solve this problem?" Cassadine was a little puzzled, "Mages shouldn't be very good at handling this kind of ...... Strange places? ”

“…… That's the mage of the occult. Rod shrugged, not embarrassed at all, "And I personally...... Only proficient in combat. ”

As he spoke, Rod didn't care whether Cassadine understood what he meant, and took the lead in entering the mausoleum.

Seeing that Rhodes entered the mausoleum first, Cassadine could only follow him quickly, and once again came to the tomb of the immortal king.

……………………

In fact, the tomb itself is not a mysterious and magical place - for example, the tomb of this immortal king, although it belongs to an emperor who is ranked in the ancient Shurima, but the decoration of the tomb ** is like that.

The erosion of time is terrifying.

Although many of the objects in the tomb are carved and fired from strips of stone and obsidian, they are still full of mottled smell under the inexorable erosion of time.

Tiny beetles scurried through the corners of the tomb, and these little creatures had long set their eyes on this wide and undisturbed space - in the long years, the short-lived beetles seemed to withstand the passage of time even better than the cold stone carvings, and the beetles that multiplied from generation to generation were always full of life, but the once smooth texture of the stone carvings gradually became rough.

That's what life is all about.

Rod let go of a little guy who had slipped into his feet in a panic, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Yes, Rhodes hated mausoleums, especially those that were huge, grandiose, and that took an unknown amount of effort — something that was truly memorable never needed in such a deliberate form, only for those who feared they would be forgotten.

"A wretched creature with fear."

While secretly despising the immortal Emperor Shurima, Rhodes made his way down the road to the deeper part of the mausoleum.

As far as the eye could see, there were subtle traces that pointed out to what had happened here not so long ago.

Lots of visitors.

Although the corridor was clean, the visitors seemed a little rude, and they came in a hurry, bringing with them a lot of sand and dust - although they were consciously cleaning up, small residues were inevitable.

Following the trail left by their predecessors, Rod and Cassadine quickly turned several corners before coming to a large gate.

"This is it." Looking at the huge obsidian gate in front of him, Cassadine's eyes also had a little more unnamed meaning, "This is where my previous trial began. ”

Squinting slightly, Rhodes carefully examined the huge stone door in front of him.

The obsidian stone door obviously looked a little more "new" than the corridor along the way, and there was not even a trace of dust on the relief lion head on the door - it was clear that there was a force protecting the door, and it was probably not dead yet.

"How did you last try?" Rhodes looked at Cassadine, "Just like the old man said before, chanting a spell, answering a question, and being teleported away?" ”

"That's right." Cassadine nodded, "A word in ancient Shurima, and then it asked me a question, and I answered it and was sent to a burial tomb. ”

"Very interesting design." Rod seemed to finally get a little interested, "Can you ask, what did it ask you at the time?" ”

"Asked me for purpose." Cassadine didn't hide it, "I said I wanted revenge. ”

"Understood." Rod blinked, "Looks like a screening device...... Judging by your description, there shouldn't be any danger. ”

"So, what should we do next?" Cassadine stood in front of the door, "Or rather, what shall we answer?" Isn't it better to answer different content so that we can look for a few more areas. ”

"It doesn't have to be that complicated." Rod waved his hand indifferently, "Although this is not our territory, it ...... You don't have to follow their rules. ”

As he spoke, a huge fireball came out of Rod's hand and slammed into the gate - in the face of Rod's unreasonable shot, Cassadine subconsciously used the void to walk and left the place.

Then, just as the frightened Cassadine was about to turn around and say something, the two huge obsidian doors suddenly collapsed.

"Boom-"

Although the obsidian has a hard texture, it has poor toughness and brittle material, and after collapsing, it fell to the ground and directly fell into several pieces.

Seeing this scene, Rod raised his eyebrows with interest.

Although it looked as if Rhodes had knocked down the door with a single blow, as the caster himself, Rhodes knew very well that the fireball he had in his hand did not have this kind of power.

Seemingly...... It seems that someone thought of it first and broke the door.

Well, I don't know if the door breaker left a curse or something on the door, it's a pity.

As he did so, Rhodes stepped forward and stepped through the door.
