Chapter 359 Hidden Passage
"No, I have to find the treasure he left behind." Natalya stood up and began to search on the high platform.

"I don't think this is like the main tomb. Don't you think the difficulty here is much lower than before? Compared with the thousands of living corpses, the difficulty of these dozen ghouls is a few times lower." Rhode sat down on the Iron Throne beside him.

"But can you find the door to the next place here? The construction method in the general tomb is the final main tomb." Natalya said.

"There is no corpse in the sarcophagus, and there is still a dragon language wall." Rhodes whispered.

"What?" Natalya, who was groping around the wall, asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing." Rhodes felt a little uncomfortable sitting on the Iron Throne, and couldn't help but move a bit.

Only a "click" was heard.

Rhode was overjoyed when he heard this voice. It should be that his actions just triggered a certain mechanism, and it was very likely that it was the mechanism that opened a hidden door here.

But after a few seconds, there was still no movement around.

"I found it!" Natalya's voice came from below the high platform.

Rhodes stood up and walked down the stairs.

"There is a hidden button hidden in this sarcophagus. If I press it, it should activate the hidden door in this hall." Natalya turned her head and said to Rhodes.

"You press it down and try?" Rhodes said.

"But there may be a dangerous mechanism triggered, I'll continue to look elsewhere." Natalya shook her head.

Looking at Natalya's face, Rhodes felt that she must have some kind of bad premonition, so she didn't press the button.

He closed his eyes and used the mage ball again, carefully exploring the surroundings, trying to find the mechanism hidden in the hall.

Whether it's the ceiling or some dark corners, Rhodes checked, but still didn't find any devices like this button or lever.

The metal throne on the high platform should be made of some kind of special metal, and Rhodes could only see a haze when he observed it through the mage ball.

It should be the same as the tomb I went to for the first time, and the passage to leave here must be related to that throne.

Rhodes climbed up to the high platform again and began to study the cold metal throne.

He pressed the entire throne, but there was no response.

Do I need to sit on it, and then sit on it in a specific posture for a period of time before triggering the mechanism?
Rhodes thought of this, sat on the throne again, and began to recall how he moved his body to make the throne make a sound.

"Try putting your hands on the armrests." Natalya, who was looking for the mechanism on the high platform, said suddenly. .

After hearing this, Rhode put his hands on the throne, and his body fell back naturally.

There was another "click" at the bottom of the throne.

"Don't move yet," Natalya said hastily.

She walked to the throne and squatted down, "When you lean on the back of the throne and your center of gravity falls behind the throne, a seam will be exposed in front of the throne. Be careful later, I will put the throne on the back of the throne along this seam." Pry it up, there should be a hidden passage under the throne."

"You can block this seam with something harder, and let me do it," Rhodes said.

He was a little nervous. If Natalya pried the throne away from the front later, he would definitely fall on the back of his head.

"It's stuck, then come on." Natalya stood up.

Rhodes stood up from the throne. He held Natalya's dagger stuck in the gap, and tried hard to pry the throne up, but the throne was only lifted up a little.

This posture is not easy to exert force, and the dagger is too short. According to the theory of leverage, it takes a lot of force to do it.

He took out a steel spear and dropped it on the ground.

"I'll sit on it again, this time you stuck the spear in it," Rhodes said.

Natalya nodded.

After replacing the dagger with a long spear, Rhodes didn't use much force to pry up the metal throne for a little bit, and then no matter how hard he tried, the throne remained motionless.

Rhodes used his internal force to kick the throne violently with his vajra legs.

boom!
There was a loud bang, and the throne and the rock beneath it were kicked aside.

Unexpectedly, more than half of the back of the throne was actually fused with the rock below, so Rhodes couldn't pry it up anyway, so he could only use force in another direction to separate the fused piece from the rock next to it.

"It's really insidious, actually hiding the passage here." Natalya said looking at the big hole exposed after prying open the throne.

"It's really insidious. Not only did it make it more difficult for me to embed the throne in the ground, but I also used such hard metal to build the throne." Rhodes said while sitting on the ground.

"Are you okay?" Natalya asked.

"Fortunately, it's just a little numb." Rhodes stood up and walked to the throne, and put the entire throne into the space ring.

He decided to take out the mining pick the next time he encountered such a situation. Those actions just now were really a bit stupid.

Below the throne is a burrow with a wooden ladder hanging from the wall.

Rhodes always felt that if he climbed down this ladder, the ladder might break halfway.

I don't know how many years ago the wooden ladder was, no matter how you looked at it, it was not safe.

He took out a porcelain cup from the interspatial ring and threw it down, and then started timing. After about two seconds, there was a cracking sound coming from the cave.

Junior high school physics can come up with a question based on this, asking students how deep the hole is.

Rhodes mentally knew that it should be around 20 meters.

"You just lost such a beautiful cup?" Natalya couldn't help but said.

"I have several sets of this kind of cups in my space ring, and there are five or six sets in one set." Rhodes replied.

"Just jump down, it's about 20 meters deep from below." He said again.

"You jump, I have a rope, in case something happens, you can still climb up the rope." Natalya replied.

"Say it sooner." Rhode suddenly felt sorry for the cup he threw down. If it was sold to Fish Kingdom, it would cost at least a few hundred gold coins.

After wrapping the rope around the carved black sarcophagus, the two climbed down along the rope, and Natalya did not forget to bring the torch she made earlier.

Relying on the light from the torch, Rhodes found that they had returned to the hall they first entered.

"Why are we back again?" He couldn't help asking.

"I don't know either." Natalya shook her head, and she took a torch and walked to the surrounding walls to study.

Rhodes always felt that the stone square table on the stone platform in the middle of the hall must have some function, maybe the treasure was hidden inside.

He walked to the stone platform, put his hands on the stone table, thinking about whether to use a hammer or a pickaxe.

At this moment, a blue phantom appeared in front of him.
