Chapter 257. 257. Mural Painting and Stone Platform

After Bai Ye and Ding Ri pried off the remaining shards of ice with their knives and axes, the entire double-opening stone door was completely exposed in front of them.

"There are patterns carved on it."

On the stone gate, a goddess with wings on her back and a sharp sword in her hand was outlined with golden lines. She looked down upon all living beings in front of the gate with a haughty attitude.

"Goddess holding the sword? Is this the God of Light Baldr in the background introduction?"

"Maybe."

Bai Ye stepped forward and pushed the Shimen, but the Shimen remained motionless.

"Don't tell me there is ice behind Shimen?!" Ding Ri shouted, and hurriedly stepped forward to push Shimen with his shoulder.

The stone door was shaken a little, and a lot of dust fell from the top of the door frame.

"Bah, bah... It seems that it can be pushed away."

Ding Ri shook the dust off his head, and began to gather strength to prepare for another collision.

Bai Ye also bumped his shoulder against Shimen with him, and after repeating twice, Shimen finally opened a gap for people to pass through.

Ding Ri squeezed into the crack of the door first, and then let out a cry of surprise inside, as if he found something extraordinary behind the door.

Bai Ye followed closely behind. After entering, he found that there was also a platform on the back of the stone gate, which was about the same size as the pirate camp outside.

On the opposite side of the platform, on the mountain wall about a few hundred meters away, a magnificent and golden palace stands there like a giant.

……

"Spectacular! It looks like it's made of gold."

"It may really be a creation left by the gods. Isn't the background here related to gods?"

Neither of them has the knowledge of architectural appreciation. They can only look at the magnificent appearance of the palace, but cannot interpret its structure and style in detail, as well as the stories behind the buildings.

"If this building can be developed as a tourist attraction, the ticket price can be sold for at least 200 yuan!"

Ding Ri's brain circuit was quite strange, but he immediately put away his unrealistic thoughts and sighed: "It's a pity, this is just a game..."

Walking two steps forward, you can see that the stone bridge leading from the platform to the huge palace has been broken. Looking down from the edge of the platform, you can see a bottomless abyss. The howling cold wind blows up from the bottom of the abyss. The voice sounded like the wail of an innocent soul from hell.

How to get from this side of the platform to the other side of the palace?

This should also be the second level test set by the system for players.

Bai Ye switched to a concentrated posture, checked the mountain walls on both sides of the platform, and noticed that there were footholds on the right mountain wall that could be climbed.

"Go this way."

He reminded his teammates, and then took the lead to climb up the mountain wall again.

"Are you going to climb again? Is there no other test for the level in this scene besides climbing?"

Ding Ri saw that there was a bottomless abyss on the outside of the mountain wall, and if he didn't pay attention to his feet, he would be in danger of eternal doom. He was 1 unwilling to climb the rock wall.

"Other than that, there's no other way to go."

Bai Ye said something on the top without looking back, kept his hands on his hands, and continued to use his bouncing climbing method. He climbed to a higher place on the mountain wall three times and two times, and then threw out the claw cover Living on a rock, he swayed himself to a foothold near the palace.

"Okay, wait for me."

Ding Ri started his slow climb while thinking about it.

"To be honest, I have a slight fear of heights, and this level is very difficult for me.

After turning over the longest distance with the claws, the road to birth was dangerous and difficult, but fortunately the route was not long.

Soon, Bai Ye fell firmly outside the gate of the golden palace.

He waited here for a while, and observed the gate of the palace by the way, on which there was also a painting of a goddess holding a sword with her back and wings.

"It looks like she should be the master here."

After waiting for a while, Ding Ri wobbled up from behind with his claws.

"I found that climbing these rocks can increase the proficiency of active posture, and my active posture has been upgraded just now."

"I really envy you that you can increase your proficiency by relying on this simple behavior."

Ding Ri's active posture level is relatively low, and he can gain a lot of proficiency in climbing the rock wall, but the active posture has reached Bai Ye's level, and he has only increased his proficiency by a few dozen points all the way down.

The two pushed open the golden gate of the palace once again, and entered a long corridor. There were no extra decorations in the long corridor. The ceiling was decorated with luminous beads, which made the indoor lighting not bad.

boom--

The golden door behind him closed automatically with a loud bang.

"Needless to say, this door should not be able to be opened again."

Even though Ding Ri said so, he stretched out his hands honestly and pushed the door.

The door remained motionless.

"We didn't need to go in the opposite direction. The automatic closing of the door is just to help us rule out the possibility of breaking through."

"makes sense."

The two walked along the corridor without encountering any mechanism on the way, and passed through the corridor very smoothly.

At the end of the corridor is the hall in the palace. The light shines in from the dome, making the hall look resplendent.

A huge star-shaped pattern is depicted on the floor of the hall, and a sand table-like device is placed in the center of the pattern.

In addition, there are huge murals on the walls in the four directions of the golden hall. The gods on the murals are not angry and majestic, some are holding spears, some are holding bows and arrows, and they look different.

"There are pirate corpses here too!"

Ding Ri found that there were more than a dozen skeletons on the ground in front of him, some with broken skulls, and some with swords in their arms.

"Is this a case of cannibalism?"

"Probably because they couldn't get out of the palace, they were all trapped here. Apart from the door that came in, there is no second door in this hall."

After listening to Bai Ye's words, Ding Ri also noticed that there was only one door in the golden hall.

"Then we can't get out, this is a cage where we can only get in and not get out?"

"There should be clues to get out. Isn't there a device over there that hasn't been checked?"

Bai Ye calmly pointed to the sand table-shaped stone platform in the center of the hall.

The two walked to the stone platform and found that it was a roulette-shaped device with eight pits in the middle, and each pit had some triangular or circular patterns.

On the top of the pit, there are four movable square stone slabs, and four abstract patterns are carved on the stone slabs.

"Is the test a puzzle? Are you going to push these slabs into the pit?"

The cracking method of this device is easy to identify.

"And it needs to follow a certain order, and the stone slabs must correspond to the correct pits."

The number of pits on the stone platform is twice that of the stone slab. There must be four pits in it that are wrong. You need to think carefully before placing the stone slab.

"If the slate is placed in the wrong pit, some very dangerous traps may be triggered. I feel that those pirates should have died under these traps."

"Is it so terrible? But judging from the cause of their death, it's more like they were fighting among themselves and killing each other." Ding Ri asked with a puzzled face.

"This is just my guess. It's better for us to treat this institution with caution."

While talking, Bai Ye reached out to touch the pattern on the slate.

"Although these patterns look abstract, they are not unrecognizable. The first pattern is a scepter, the second is a bow and arrow, the third is a long sword, and the fourth is a hammer." He raised his head and stretched out his fingers Pointing to the surroundings, "These weapons are all held by the gods on the four murals, and the clues to crack the mechanism should be on the four murals."

"Yes, from what you said, these patterns really look like the shape of weapons."

Ding Ri showed a dazed expression.

They first came to observe the mural of the god holding the scepter. The god on the mural had a gray beard, a helmet in the shape of wings on his head, and thunder surrounded him.

"It doesn't look like anything special?"

"Then look at the next mural."

The next mural is a god holding a hammer, with a beard, wearing a golden armor, and the hammer has thunder gathering.

"Still nothing special?"

"That must be because your concentration level is too low."

"By the way, my concentration posture is level 4, isn't it too low?" Ding Ri protested for his posture: "Wait, you mean that the concentration posture has already given you clues?"

"No."

"Then you are still so sure?" Ding Ri showed a depressed expression.

"Although there is no indication of the posture, I have already seen a little clue, but in order to confirm my guess, let's take a look at the next mural first."

Bai Ye said something in a profound tone, then walked to the next mural.

On that mural was a goddess holding a bow and arrow. The goddess' eyebrows and eyes were vividly depicted, as if she was looking at the two mortals in front of her with kind eyes.

"Don't be a fool, what clues did you find?" Ding Ri's curiosity was ready to come out.

Bai Ye didn't answer him immediately, but took two steps forward, stood next to the mural, and pointed to the quiver on the shoulder of the goddess of bow and arrow.

"See, there is a square pattern on the quiver, does it look similar to the pit on the stone platform?"

Ding Ri stepped forward to take a closer look, then ran back to look at the stone platform.

"There is indeed a pattern in the pit that looks like this."

He suddenly figured out how to crack the stone plate in front of him.

"So, each weapon pattern corresponds to a mural, and each mural also hides a pattern corresponding to the groove here. As long as the two are connected, this stone platform device can be cracked!"

"Correct answer, but no extra points." Bai Ye shrugged.

"It looks easy. Don't those pirates try to fit the slabs together in the groove?" Ding Ri began to complain about the IQ of the pirates.

"It's because they tried to fit the slabs into the grooves..."

Bai Ye pointed around, "It just turned into a pile of corpses."

"Fuck? Really?"

Ding Rigang was about to push the stone slab of the Goddess of Bow and Arrow into its corresponding groove, when he heard what Bai Ye said, he subconsciously stretched out his hand back.

"Also... You should spell it out, and I'll help you check the patterns on the mural."
