Chapter 353 The speed of life and death

Rhodes ran over with a torch after hearing Natalya's voice.

"What's wrong?" he asked suspiciously.

"I've found a way to get out of here. After the wall is removed, you quickly climb in with me." Natalya turned her head and said.

Then she took out her dagger and smashed the handle of it against a mural.

Although the murals were already very blurry, Rhodes could still make out that what Natalya smashed was like a door.

Rumble!
The wall in front of him slowly sank to the ground, making a loud noise.

"Hurry up, this wall won't come down completely." When the stone wall came down to the top of Rhodes' head, Natalya suddenly shouted loudly.

Then she raised her hands to rest on the half-fallen stone wall, and turned up hard.

Rhodes also followed after seeing this.

"Rush over." Natalya shouted again.

Rhodes who turned over to the stone wall found that it was not what he had imagined before. He originally thought that the stone wall was just a thin layer, and as long as he turned over, he would enter another room.

As a result, after climbing over to the stone wall, he realized that the wall was much thicker than he had imagined. It must have been several hundred meters wide before.

It's like a runway of unknown length. If Rhodes and the others can't run to the end of the stone wall and leave here before the stone wall rises to the top and sticks to the top of the stone wall, then they will experience the feeling of being caught as a hamburger.

If you are a slow runner, you can actually try to see if this mechanism is more powerful or his own.

Rhodes ran quickly, he didn't want to be crushed into meat paste.

This stone gate does not rely on the power of the mechanism to lift it up, but to rely on the power of the mechanism to lower it, which means that the ancient craftsmen who made it believed that the force of the mechanism to lift it was higher than this boulder that was at least hundreds of meters long and several meters wide. The weight is even greater.

Otherwise, why didn't they hang this boulder up, but let it come down.

Rhodes felt that those craftsmen must be worried that if an extremely powerful monster ran in, it would be able to lift the stone, so they designed it this way.

In order to design a mechanism that cannot run fast enough to die, the monster with great strength needs to bear the force of the mechanism's lifting, not the weight of the boulder.

Lest someone lift the boulder and laugh at them that these craftsmen have never seen the world.

Of course, all of these are Rhodes' conjectures, and he has never seen anyone who can lift such a huge boulder, but some powerful magicians seem to be able to lift it with magic.

Just like Natalya's speculation, the stone wall really started to rise before reaching the bottom.

As the stone wall rose little by little, Rhodes could only bend his waist slowly, which further restricted his speed.

almost there!

Rhodes saw a light not far away, and he was already running with his body bent. If he waited a little longer, he would probably have to crawl forward. If he waited until he lay on the ground, he would basically It's like being sentenced to death.

Natalya's speed was faster than Rhodes who was fully running on Treading Xue Wuhen. She left this deadly "runway" first.

The passage under his feet was getting closer and closer to the stone wall above his head. Now Rhodes could only move forward with both hands and feet, so he lost all the torches in his hand.

Arrived!

Rhodes' hand will be able to stretch out this "runway" immediately.

He saw Natalya standing in front of him and looking at him with her arms folded, a weird smile on her almost perfect face.

Oops.

She doesn't want to trap me in there, does she?
Rhode's heart sank, and he crawled forward quickly. He stretched out his hand out of the passage, preparing to press the side of the stone wall to use his strength to let himself out.

At this time, Natalya suddenly grabbed Rhode's outstretched hand, and pulled him out of the passage that was about to close.

Rhodes sat on the ground panting, still a little shocked in his heart.

"If it wasn't for you not giving me the antidote, I definitely wouldn't have saved you. By the way, the way you walked forward on your stomach was very interesting, but unfortunately there is no way to record it." Natalya said with a smile.

"If I had known this was the case, I might as well have smashed the wall with a hammer in the hall just now. Anyway, the food I brought is enough to last for several weeks." Rhodes stood up and said regretfully,

"I was fast enough, but I didn't expect the wall to be so thick."

"Well, you are really fast." Natalya smiled and nodded.

Rhodes ignored her. He didn't expect that she was also a driver, playing such a vulgar old joke.

He stood on the spot and began to observe the surrounding environment. They are now at a corner, and in front of them is a wall of white light, and there is a road on the right side of the wall.

Looking at the wall glowing with white light, Rhodes felt the deep malice of the craftsmen who built the tomb. He could see the light coming from here when he entered the passage behind him that could be lifted up. , and ran all the way for at least a few hundred meters before reaching the end of the passage.

It took him less than half a minute for these hundreds of meters, faster than most cars driving on the highway, and he almost didn't run out.

"No matter what danger we encounter later, we will definitely not be able to go back. You'd better be prepared that you won't be able to escape." Natalya suppressed her smile and said seriously.

"Can't this wall be opened from this side?" Rhodes knocked on the wall.

"No, look at the corner on your right." Natalya shook her head.

Rhodes turned his head and saw a scattered white bone wearing rotten leather armor and a dagger emitting black light beside it.

Judging by his appearance, he should be a stalker.

"He should be an adventurer who entered here a long time ago. He should have encountered some troubles that he couldn't deal with before, so he wanted to escape back." Natalya explained.

"Adventurers who have entered here before, have some people collected these rings before us?" Rhodes asked in surprise.

Natalya nodded, "And he's not the only one, I once got a mage's diary, and the original owner of the diary once collected [-] of them.

When he wrote that he was going to buy the last ring from a merchant the next day, it was no longer he who wrote the diary, but his apprentice.

According to what his apprentice wrote, one week after his teacher disappeared, these space rings appeared again in the north of the mainland, and they were all unfused. "

"So his teacher should have died in this tomb, and the combined ring was split by some force and sent out.

Could this be a trap of some evil god? Those who can collect all these rings must not be weak, and that evil god uses this method to select the strong to come in, and then use various mechanisms to kill them and absorb the power of their souls ? Rhode suddenly thought of this possibility.

"Someone said so, so some ring owners put these rings in their tombs before they died, in an attempt to make these rings never be collected again.

For the past two years, I have basically stayed in a dark tomb, dealing with all kinds of ghouls all day long, and I don't know how to talk to others like a normal person. "Nataya sighed,

"When I get out of here, I won't run into any tombs again."
