Chapter 1480

Huo Jilin, who decided to fight for the people, realized that he had a huge mission.

He wrote down that a new era was coming.

And wrote down his determination to become a person who changed his destiny.

The eyeballs on the wall seemed to hear the call from the depths of Huo Jilin's heart.

The light shone throughout the secret room.

The mercury sphere also conveyed endless gratitude and expectations to Huo Jilin.

Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan continued to explore the underground pottery production area.

They accidentally discovered that there was some unusual movement in the eye sockets of a seemingly ordinary pottery figurine.

At first they thought it was an illusion caused by the light.

But after a closer look.

It turned out that several black centipedes were wriggling in its eye sockets.

The two were horrified.

But Huo Jilin decided to investigate further.

"This is too strange."

"How could there be a centipede inside the pottery figurine?" Wang Kaixuan cursed in a low voice.

"Maybe it's some kind of mechanism."

"We should leave here."

Huo Jilin subconsciously walked towards the nearby door.

Just as they turned around.

The terracotta suddenly moved completely.

The black centipede crawled out of the eye socket.

A terrifying symbol was formed around it.

"We are trapped!" Wang Kaixuan shouted anxiously.

Huo Jilin immediately added.

"I can try to use my magic power to unlock this symbol."

"You look for a way out in other directions first."

He gathered the last bit of his remaining strength.

Trying to unlock the symbol on the terracotta.

With the injection of magic power.

The symbol began to flicker.

Emitted a strong light.

Huo Jilin felt his physical strength was consumed very quickly.

But he gritted his teeth and continued to persevere.

At the same time.

Wang Kaixuan searched for a way to escape.

They came to a huge room.

Full of shelves with terracotta figurines and statues.

There are various animals and human figures in the statues.

Suddenly a silver light flashed.

A human-shaped pottery figurine jumped down.

"I am Mercury."

"Please follow me!" Its voice was cold and ancient.

Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan followed closely.

Walking through the corridor.

This maze-like temple made them feel endless surprise and uneasiness.

After turning a corner.

They saw an intricate combination of mechanisms.

"These mechanisms seem to be able to control all the pottery figurines and statues."

The mercury sphere said quietly.

Huo Jilin quickly analyzed the mechanism pattern.

And began to operate the mechanism based on his memory of historical civilization.

The statue began to come alive.

And began to throw fireballs at the two adventurers.

"Be careful!" Wang Kaixuan reminded Huo Jilin loudly.

They hurriedly dodged.

And looked for the key to the mechanism.

Huo Jilin found a hidden button on a slightly worn pillar.

"I found it!" he shouted excitedly.

After pressing the button.

The statue stopped moving immediately.

The combination of mechanisms gradually failed.

The two continued to walk through the room with difficulty.

They came to an even more ancient and mysterious area.

This is a huge circular square.

There are pottery figurines and statues all around.

Each pottery figurine has a unique posture and expression.

It seems to tell a story from ancient times.

Huo Jilin felt a strong force emanating from these pottery figurines.

It deeply touched his heart.

They stood still for a moment.

They felt the prosperity and loneliness that this land once had.

Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan walked carefully in this maze-like temple.

Hu Bayi looked exhausted.

His forehead was full of sweat.

He was obviously under considerable pressure.

Huo Jilin immediately took out a penicillin tablet from his medicine bag and handed it to Hu Bayi.

He said with concern.

"Brother Hu."

"This pill can help you recover your strength."

"Please take it."

Hu Bayi took the pill.

Nodding gratefully.

"Thank you."

"Brother Huo."

"I will try my best to keep my strength."

As they continued to move forward.

A bend appeared in front of them.

Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan slowed down nervously.

And carefully looked out.

They noticed that there were several mummies of soldiers in armor hanging on the wall of the tomb passage.

Their bodies were covered with centipedes of different sizes and shapes.

This scene was chilling.

"These soldiers in armor seem to have been bitten to death by centipedes."

Wang Kaixuan pointed to the mummies on the wall and said.

The voice was full of doubt and fear.

Huo Jilin frowned.

For a moment, he fell into deep thought.

He understood that the difficulty here had increased.

But he decided to continue exploring forward.

"We must be careful."

"Especially avoid contact with these centipedes."

Huo Jilin said firmly.

"However."

"Just as I used magic power to unlock the symbol just now."

"I believe there are other ways to deal with them."

He took a deep breath.

Try to stay calm.

Then start to analyze the surrounding environment.

Just then.

He noticed that there were several floor-standing mechanism disks on the wall of the tomb passage.

These mechanism disks are embedded on the stone wall inside the tomb passage.

And closely integrated with the ground.

"It seems that these mechanisms should control these centipedes."

Huo Jilin muttered to himself.

"We need to manipulate them to ensure our safety."

Wang Kaixuan asked a little nervously.

"How to operate it?"

"We need to find the button or trigger corresponding to each mechanism disk."

Huo Jilin pointed to the vicinity of the mechanism disk for clues.

And explained.

"Only by setting up the mechanism correctly."

"Can we control the actions of the centipedes."

"Make them no longer a threat to us."

Wang Kaixuan followed Huo Jilin's instructions.

He also began to search around for the trigger corresponding to the mechanism disk.

They carefully avoided the centipedes.

Trying to find the key to the mechanism.

Finally.

Behind a slightly raised pillar.

Wang Kaixuan found a hidden button.

He pointed at the button excitedly and said loudly.

"I found it! This is the trigger!"

Huo Jilin felt relieved.

Because he knew that they could finally control these centipedes.

He walked to Wang Kaixuan.

Gently pressed the button.

A dazzling light emanated from the mechanism disk.

The entire tomb passage was instantly quiet.

As the light disappeared.

The centipedes on the mummified bodies of the soldiers in armor stopped moving.

"Success!"

Wang Kaixuan shouted excitedly.

They moved quickly along the tomb passage.

Carefully avoid the mummified bodies of soldiers in armor who were bitten to death by poisonous insects.

Just when the three were trapped in the tomb passage and the situation was critical.

A voice suddenly came.

"Don't be afraid."

"I've seen a lot of these black-faced centipedes."

Huo Jilin and his companions looked nervously in the direction of the voice.

Only to see an old man appear in front of them.

The old man's sparse white hair and wrinkled face revealed the traces of time.

"Who are you?"

Huo Jilin asked vigilantly.

The old man smiled and answered.

"I used to be an explorer."

"Now I can only be regarded as a tomb passage garrison."
