Pirate System - Chapter 490
“The Gate of Life? What do you mean?” Tangke asked inexplicably.
“I don’t know either. In the materials I have read, there is no record about the door of life. However, there is another line of text on the door, which should be about the situation inside the door.” Emily said and stretched out. With pure white fingers, he pointed to a line of small characters carved on the door.
Tang Kewang looked at the line of words and found that they were all written in tadpoles, and he couldn’t recognize them at all, so he asked, “Can you decipher these words?”
“It’s barely okay.” Emily took two steps forward, stared at the words on the door closely, and said word by word, “This is the ultimate road to the fountain of death, to save lives, you must first serve Only when you have this awareness can you enter the door.”
“Judging from this sentence, it means that the door is very dangerous.” Tangke smiled indifferently, “If this is the case, this sentence is nonsense, and the two places we have passed before are dangerous enough. , and also lost two people inside. We have the consciousness to give our lives, and we also have the determination to go all out to get the fountain of death.”
“I don’t think it’s that simple. If it’s just a common danger, there’s no need to specify it on the door. I think the danger behind this door should be very special.” Emily said worriedly.
“No matter how special it is, can it be more special than the green liquid that will fly around and all kinds of dark creatures? I want to see what the mystery is behind this door. Since we have come here, we will no longer There’s no turning back, so let’s just keep walking forward.” Tangke said, and hurriedly reached out and pushed the door, and a gap appeared in the door immediately. Then it opened to both sides, opening the road to the next area for the three of them.
Tonk is telling the truth. Now that everyone has come here, even if they know that Longtan Tiger’s Den is in front of them, there is no reason to retreat, so they can only bite the bullet and go forward. Everyone walked into the door one after another, with Tang Ke taking the lead, observing the situation behind the door as they walked.
Behind the door is a straight corridor with walls on all sides, and the walls are black like the door. with intricate patterns. In the mid-air, there are some light spots suspended, like fireflies, wandering around, illuminating the corridor. The corridor is very long, and there is no end in sight.
Tang Ke’s eyes were first attracted by the light spots in the air, for fear that there was a murderous intention hidden in it. I quickly used an investigation technique on it, but the investigation results showed that the light spot is only the most common and basic magic element. Without the intervention of the magician, there is no danger at all. He was a little relieved, but he still didn’t want to be touched by the light. Try to stay away from these wandering spots of light.
The other two were the same, and they didn’t want to be touched by the light, so they tried their best to avoid them.
In this new area, there are new dangers hidden, and the degree of danger must exceed the previous two areas. People are being cautious. Slow down and move forward. When they walked about ten meters, the way they came in was suddenly closed. The two halves of the door fit tightly together, leaving no gaps.
“I guess we won’t be able to go back.” Tangke looked back at the closed door and guessed.
“Not necessarily, do you want me to try it?” No. 5 asked.
“There’s no need for that, anyway, we didn’t even want to go back at all, so let’s move on.” Tangke refused.
Everyone left the closed door open and continued to walk forward. The corridor was very long, and they could not reach the end after walking for a long time, but they did not encounter any danger. After a long time, everyone relaxed a little bit of vigilance, and the speed of progress has also accelerated.
Tangke has been estimating the time. At this time, two full hours have passed, but there is still no end in sight, as if it is endless. He smiled and joked: “I understand the purpose of this area. It seems that the God of Life wants to exhaust us here.”
“It won’t be that simple.” Emily shook her head and said, “It would be better if the road was just a little longer, and we wouldn’t be exhausted if we walked a little longer. We need food and water, and we need water, and we won’t die of starvation. Thirsty.”
“If you say that, I’m really hungry.” Tangke touched his stomach and took off a thick package he was carrying. Don’t look at it as just a package, but the surface was sewn with dragon skin. Sturdy and durable, it can be regarded as a handed down treasure. He opened the package, took out a compressed heavy biscuit, bit down in half, and swallowed it in his stomach.
Just one piece of this biscuit weighs half a catty, and it is full of compressed dry food and dried fruit. It can fill the stomach with just one bite.
Tangke ate a whole biscuit, brushed off the biscuits from his hands, and then took another sip of water.
Emily is small and has little appetite. She has no appetite at all, but just drank some water.
No. 5 is a robot. He doesn’t need to eat or drink water, but he still joins in the fun, takes out a bottle of motor oil, and pours it into his stomach.
After eating and drinking, everyone sped up their pace again, and this time they walked for another hour in one breath.
The corridor that originally led straight forward finally came to an end, and a very large hall appeared in front of it.
Seeing that the road has a new look, everyone’s spirits are lifted, they quickly rushed up, and rushed into the hall in one breath.
This hall is large enough to seat five hundred people. The whole is square, tall and wide. The surrounding walls are the same as the corridors, and also have carvings. Directly opposite the hall, there is another door, which looks exactly the same as the door that came from. Apart from that, there is nothing in this hall, and there is nothing else special about it.
“If we’re lucky, we’ll get the fountain of death by opening the door on the opposite side. If we’re unlucky, opening the back door should lead to a **** corridor. But I guess it’s the latter. There are many possibilities.” Tangke guessed.
This speculation is not so optimistic, but no one can refute it.
Everyone was more careful, slowly passed through the hall, approached the door, and walked to the front. During this period, it has been calm and quiet, and no abnormality has occurred. It felt like a moment of tranquility before the storm, but it made people even more nervous.
This door is the same as the previous door. There is also a line above.
Emily continued to act as a translator, stood in front of the door, and read word by word: “This door can be opened with a touch of your hand, but at the cost of ten years of life.”
A simple sentence, but it hides a lot of content. After Tangke heard this, he immediately frowned, feeling vaguely bad.
Ten years of life is not a small number, life is for people. It’s one of the most important things, and no one wants to reduce life so much at once.
No. 5 is a robot, so he didn’t react much to this, but Tangke and Emily were different. The two looked at each other, and their faces changed a little bit.
“You two step back for a distance, and I will use my sword energy to split the door. Let’s see if I can split the door. If you don’t touch the door with your hands, it shouldn’t shorten your lifespan.” Tangke took a deep breath. , commanded.
Emily and No. 5 Yiyan stepped aside and stayed far away.
Tang Ke also retreated a distance, but not too far back, he pulled out the soul-killing knife. He raised it above his head, brewed for a while, released the demon phantom, and entered a dark state. The demon phantom that Baal turned into appeared and hovered behind him. He opened his teeth and danced his claws, raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes. Waving bat wings. A dark red aura was like a flame, blazing around him.
“Zhan Tie!” Tang Ke’s eyes narrowed, and the dark aura and the demon’s phantom instantly converged into the blade, and he slashed heavily towards the black gate in front.
The sharp sword energy flashed past and slashed heavily on the door, making a harsh and crisp sound, but it did not cause more abnormalities. This sword skill focuses on hitting power, and all the destructive power hits a line. It seems that the attack is weak, but it is actually very sharp.
Tang Ke raised the knife, stared at the black door, and was disappointed to find that there was not even a trace left on the door! The Rashomon that he destroyed on the Star Tower before was strong enough, and that black door was countless times stronger than the Rashomon. He didn’t want to lose his precious lifespan, so he slashed several more knives at the black gate, each with all his strength, without leaving his hand at all, but after the wind and smoke, the black gate was still intact!
Tangke was slightly frustrated, gave up the attack, used an investigation technique on the black door, and tried to figure out the details of the black door. As a result, the investigation technique failed as soon as it was released, indicating that it was hindered by an unknown force. Although he knew that there was little hope, he still held a little hope and suggested to the only two remaining companions: “My sword energy doesn’t work at all, let’s try the two of you next, or simply the three of us. Let’s go together.”
“Let’s try it. But I have an ominous premonition that this door has divine power attached, which cannot be destroyed at all.” Emily worried.
“Just talk about everything.” Tangke stepped back, and then made a please gesture towards the black door.
Emily nodded, raised her sunshade, summoned some of the best wind magic, and bombarded the black door indiscriminately, but the result was equally disappointing, unable to shake the black door at all. After her, she was replaced by No. 5. This robot has a lot of offensive weapons. It first used the dual cannons on its arms, then it used laser eyes, and finally took out an orange-sized bomb from its stomach. He lost the black door, causing an earth-shattering explosion, but he still failed to break the black door.
Carrying the last ray of hope, the three of them jointly launched a fierce attack on the black door, using all their housekeeping skills, but the black door was still safe and sound, standing there quietly.
While attacking the Black Gate, the surrounding walls were also affected, but they were not damaged like the Black Gate, which meant that the wall and the Black Gate were the same material. In this way, they were completely deadlocked, trapped in this hall, and had no choice but to sacrifice one person’s ten years of life.
“No. 5, we can’t touch this door. It’s up to you, a robot, to take risks. You’re covered in iron, so you’re not considered a living person. It’s estimated that this door won’t cause you any harm.” Tangke said logically. .
“Okay, I’ll go over and open the door.” No. 5 obeyed the order as before, strode to the black door, put his iron hand on the door, and pushed it gently.
The black door, which was still motionless just now, miraculously opened a gap under the push of No. 5, and opened towards the back. At the same time, a mysterious light emerged from the black door, and this light hit No. 5. After walking around from top to bottom, it disappeared.
The light dims. The black door was also fully opened, revealing the road behind. As expected by Tangke, it was still a long corridor with no end in sight.
Tangke glanced behind the door, and seeing that there was nothing to see, he looked at No. 5 and asked, “How are you feeling, is there anything unusual about you?”
“I didn’t feel anything. Just for a moment, the current in my body became a little unstable.” No. 5 replied after thinking about it.
“It’s fine if it’s not a big deal. If it’s okay, let’s move on. I guess there will be a few more doors ahead, and I’ll leave it to you when the time comes.” Only now did Tangke realize that No. 5 is so useful. Bringing Number Five was a wise choice.
“Okay, it’s all on me. If I encounter a similar door again, I’ll open it!” No. 5 said, patting his metal chest.
Anyone who is alive will not want to lose their lifespan, even if they lose a year and a half of their lifespan, they will feel distressed, let alone ten years or more. This kind of thing can only be done by a robot like No. 5.
The crowd moved on. After passing through the door that was just opened, it didn’t take long for the door to close automatically, cutting off everyone’s way. This has happened once before, and everyone didn’t take it seriously. Still moving on. The next road is the same as the road before. There is no danger.
Compared with the previous two areas, although there are no monsters in this area, it is much scarier, because the damage in this area is unavoidable. If you want to pass through, you must touch the black door. Once touched, it will be damaged. life! No wonder the first door is marked with the four characters “The Door of Life”. The door is indeed related to life.
Tang Ke took advantage and brought a robot like No. 5. If he replaced No. 5 with another big living person, he would definitely not go to the black door obediently, and it would definitely happen among a few people. dispute.
Thinking of this, Tang Ke’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he wanted to understand a terrible thing.
No wonder there is an empty hall in front of the black gate. That hall should be reserved for interlopers to kill each other! No one wants to lose their lifespan. Once multiple people arrive here, there will be a dispute over who should touch the black door, and it will inevitably be a fight at that time. Even if a group of people is very harmonious and there is no fighting, there will be various psychological changes during the long progress in such a corridor. Some people will think about subduing or knocking out their companions, and keep them as props to open the door. Others will hold grudges for being the victim and turn against their fellows. This long corridor is likely to become a fuse that sparks mutual suspicion among companions.
“No. 5, it’s great to be able to bring you in. If we can get out of this ghost place smoothly, I will definitely invite you to drink… drink oil.” Tangke wanted to talk about wine, but when he thought that No. 5 was a robot, he changed his mind. said.
“Okay, I wrote down your promise, I hope you don’t break your promise!” No. 5 said cheerfully. Since coming in, everyone’s mood has been affected more or less, but it is still the same.
Everyone went all the way forward, walked a long way, and successfully reached the second hall. There is also a black door opposite this hall, but the text on it has changed.
“This door can be opened with the touch of a hand, but at the cost of thirty years of life.”
It says so on the door.
“This time the required life span has been increased to thirty years.” Emily said, taking a breath.
“Fortunately, this friend of ours does not belong to **** and has an infinite lifespan.” Tangke pointed to No. 5 and said.
No. 5 said two proud words, and without being reminded, he took the initiative to walk to the door and opened the door with his hands. What happened this time with the opening was the same as last time, the door was easily pushed open and a ray of light emerged from it. No. 5’s body trembled slightly, and soon returned to normal.
Emily asked Number Five how she was feeling, and Number Five replied that everything was normal, and Emily was relieved.
Everyone continued to walk forward, and then reached the third place to inquire. This time the text on the door changed again, and became “This door can be opened with a light touch of your hand, but at the cost of half your life.” One line!
Half of life, although there is no specific number, it makes people feel more shocking. Fortunately, there is No. 5, and he doesn’t care about this at all~www.mtlnovel.com~ No. 5 opened the door again, but after opening the door this time, it is not so relaxed. After the light group swam past it, its There was a clear rumbling sound within the body, and a cloud of black smoke came out, as if a part was broken. In addition, the metal shell on its body has also become a little old, not so new and bright.
Seeing this situation, both Tangke and Emily were shocked. Judging from No. 5’s reaction, it was obvious that they had become much older due to the influence of that invisible force.
It turns out that the effect contained on the door is also effective for the No. 5 robot!
“I’m… a little uncomfortable,” No. 5 said in a hoarse voice, and reached out to touch his chest, making a creaking sound from the joint on its body, as if it was about to break. It looked at its own body, and its light bulb-like eyes flashed twice, “Why do I seem to be ugly.”
“Number five, you…” Emily covered her mouth with a sad expression, and swallowed halfway through her words. She is a woman with a kind and soft heart. Seeing No. 5 become like this, she was immediately saddened. (To be continued.
