"Special commemorative significance..."

Hohnenheim pondered, his gaze sweeping across the hall. "There are six figures in the mural—two warriors, two mages, one priest, and one archer.

Is it possible that this is an allegorical painting rather than a commemorative one?"

"An allegory?"

David narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "Are you saying that the six figures in the mural correspond to the six players here?

The archer corresponds to Miss Liu, the two warriors refer to Miss Amberly and myself, and the two mages and one priest correspond to the other three of you?"

Li Ang casually said, "Hohnenheim is undoubtedly a mage in the traditional sense. I also know a couple of skills that are barely related to necromancy..."

"You also know necromancy?"

David's tone was quite surprised. After the last Door to Heaven battle, various organizations formed think tank teams, repeatedly watching the competition videos, carefully studying each player, and analyzing their equipment, power system, combat style, and combat skills.

Li Risheng, the white-coated leader, successfully made it to the final round. Although he didn't stay until the end, the scene of him beheading a demon general still shocked those large organizations, and his evaluation and attention level rose again.

They even turned around and looked for Li Risheng's previous script mission experiences.

In the assessment of the Special Accidents Division under the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Li Risheng should be a melee-specialized player with quite strong ranged attacks, in addition to considerable logistics capabilities.

The psionic energy that connected everyone's minds just now, plus necromancy...

How many skills does this person actually have?

"A little something."

Of course, Li Ang wouldn't explain in detail that he had [Summoning Art - Fear Warhorse], [Reanimate Dead (Intermediate)], and the ability to control corpses using the biological template. He smiled casually and said, "Don't look at me like this now, but a long time ago I wanted to be a criminal investigation detective and a police officer who upheld justice in the world.

To this end, I made a special trip to Hawaii to study criminal investigation skills.

In the process, I made a lot of embarrassing things, such as encountering a locked room murder case in the style of a snowstorm villa in Hawaii. After careful observation of the scene,

and examination of the clothing of the three dead people, accurately judged that the three dead people were named Nike, Li Ning, and Adidas.

However, even if I asked loudly, 'Where the hell did you die?!', they refused to tell me their original place of death.

That's why I started to work hard to learn necromancy, hoping that one day I could make the corpses speak,

so that I wouldn't have to keep scolding them 'rotten and smelly' because they refused to explain the case,

threatening to hang them up and put them in the boxing gym as sandbags."

"..."

The muscles in the corners of David's eyes twitched, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. "Okay, you are a necromancer..."

"Uh... then I'm the priest?"

Ding Zhensis, who had already read the information about Li Risheng, didn't react so much—according to Xing Hechou's description, this was Li Risheng's normal behavior.

He scratched his head with the mechanical arm of the Kui Niu mecha and said with a wry smile: "My mecha's mechanical arm is equipped with a medical module, which can perform some not-very-difficult medical operations when necessary.

I myself also know some of the most basic medical skills.

However, if the mecha is also regarded as a priest, it is inevitable that it is a bit..."

"Too far-fetched, right."

David nodded and said casually, "After all, it's just a guess, it doesn't matter if it doesn't match up.

The murals on the wall are quite faded. There is a lot of dust in the cracks of the murals, which proves that the murals are very old.

And these claw marks..."

He turned to look at the wall, jumped lightly into the air, hooked his fingers on the messy and deep claw marks on the wall, supported the weight of his body, and looked at it more carefully.

Then he jumped down and said calmly: "The depth of the cracks on the wall ranges from half a meter to two meters. Considering that the angles and depths of the cracks are highly similar,

it should be left by the same, or the same kind of creature, with its claws.

The material of the wall bricks is the same as that in the corridor tunnel, which are all special stones.

Then, the strength of this creature should be very strong..."

Ding Zhensis smacked his lips, "Is it the magical beast that the village chief said stole the stone bricks?"

"Not sure yet."

David sighed, "Try to be prepared for battle..."

Since the last Door to Heaven battle, both the contestants and the off-site audience have become wary of script missions with special terrain restrictions.

They began to carry props and equipment that could prevent any environmental factors.

Such as parachutes, radiation suits, high-temperature protective suits, low-temperature protective suits, chemical protective suits, oxygen masks, diving bells, and so on.

The higher the level of the player, the greater the script threat they face. The quality requirements for this type of equipment and props are also higher—low-level newbies may only be suddenly teleported into a hot desert, while high-level players may be directly teleported into a volcano.

David carried a drilling machine that could chisel open thick rocks, as well as a movable protective prop similar to the hamster ball in the new Jurassic Park movie. Even if he was buried by thick rock layers,

he would have enough time to escape.

But the rocks here are all made of special materials. If he is really buried... he should consider the one-time escape ticket.

The group explored the hall for a while. The floor tiles here, like the steps and corridors above, were covered with thick dust, which was obviously no one had set foot in for a long time.

Ding Zhensis activated the shooting function of the Kui Niu mecha, photographed the murals and claw marks on the wall, printed them into photos on the spot, and gave each of the others a copy—to make it easier to get the stone bricks from the Holy Mountain Gate and go back to ask the village chief about the murals.

As for one photo for each person, it is also for the sake of the task—even if there are casualties, others can continue to complete the mission.

After that, the group walked to the heavy wooden door at the back of the hall and looked at it carefully.

Compared with the walls with gorgeous murals, this wooden door seemed too simple and ordinary. David gently poked the wooden door with the Judgement Spear, and the tip of the spear made a crisp buzzing sound of metal vibration.

Then he put away the spear, stood firmly on his feet, and pushed hard with his left palm.

David's feet rubbed the dust on the ground, making a "sha—" sound.

The heavy dust on the door rustled and fell, but the door itself did not move at all.

"Huh?"

David was slightly surprised and straightened up again. He knew best how strong he was. Even a fully loaded armored vehicle could be easily pushed open with one hand if he exerted his full strength.

"Let me."

Li Ang rubbed his palms, signaling David to step back. He took a step forward, pressed his palms on the wooden door, and didn't push too hard, but released a small amount of Swamp Divine Power, trying to let the Divine Power flow along the wooden door.

In theory, Swamp Divine Power has a very strong affinity for any form of plant.

But after releasing the Divine Power, Li Ang instantly realized that all the energy was like a mud cow entering the sea, and only one-tenth of the Divine Power that could penetrate the wooden door remained.

The wood that made up this door had long since died and had become a fossil in a sense. The transmission effect of Divine Power was extremely poor.

"Tsk."

Li Ang retracted his palm. In the spirit of plucking feathers from a passing goose, he directly took out the Overlord's Halberd and slashed at the wooden door until he shaved off some wood chips, then he retracted his hand with satisfaction and turned to the others and said, "This door is blocked from the inside."

"Blocked?"

David looked up and down at the wooden door. Whether in reality or in the description in the mural, there were no locks or other structures on the wooden door. It should be the type that can be opened with a push—the village chief also said that the brave men from all over the world would take the dungeon as the first stop of the trial.

In theory, the situation of the door being blocked should not occur.

Otherwise, those weak teams of brave men would not be able to pass the first level.

"Yes."

Li Ang nodded and said casually: "There are quite a lot of rock piles behind the door, blocking the door tightly. It may be caused by a collapse."

Ding Zhensis asked softly: "Then what should we do now?"

"I have a prop that can pry the door open,"

Liu Wudai said calmly: "But it's a personally bound item, and others can't use it.

It needs the door to not be closed too tightly."

Hohnenheim pondered for a moment. Personally bound equipment meant that all the consumption of the special effects needed to be borne by the equipment owner. Liu Wudai's strength attribute may not be enough to open the door.

"I have a way."

Hohnenheim nodded, and the airflow under his feet rotated, lifting his entire body up.

He flew around the wooden door once and landed on the ground. "The manufacturing process of the wooden door is very unique. The gap between the two doors is about the width of a utility knife blade.

However, the bolt is made of steel. I happen to have a spell here..."

Hohnenheim's Book of Sand slowly turned, stopping on one of the pages.

[Handy Lady's Home Recipe - Rust Removal], the effect is to create a rosin-like solvent to dissolve metal rust, lubricate fasteners, and facilitate the disassembly of metal parts, or remove rust from the surface of ships, vehicles, and household silverware, restoring them to their shine.

The page of the Book of Sand slowly turned into dust, and four balls of light golden rosin-like liquid appeared in Hohnenheim's hand, flying towards the four corners of the wooden door and penetrating into the bolts.

Chi——

Visible steam gushed out from the bolts.

"I'll try."

Liu Wudai said lightly.

She took a step forward and took out a crowbar-like prop with a red center and gray ends from the void. She gently chiseled the sharp end of the crowbar into the narrow door seam and pushed hard.

[Name: Rod of Physics (Fake)]

[Type: Tool]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Effect: Nail Removal. Pry open everything that can theoretically be pried open by a crowbar (such as nails, wooden boxes, door seams, steel plates). The prying force depends on the user's own strength. The prying process only consumes theoretically one-fifth of the physical strength value.]

[Consumption: At least 10 points of physical strength value. The greater the prying force, the higher the consumption of physical strength value.]

[Cooldown time: None]

[Usage conditions: Possess one of the following: a doctorate in physics, philosophy, or mathematics]

[Note: This crowbar was once used by the gentle, thin, and unremarkable Dr. Gordon Freeman. Although it is only a temporary item and not a god that accompanied Dr. Gordon Freeman in the alien civilization and the siege of deformed monsters, it is still stained with a special nature...]

[Note: Give me a fulcrum, and I can move the earth]

"It's actually the Holy Sword of Physics."

Li Ang's eyes lit up. He had seen Dr. Gordon Freeman in the form of a video game character in the High-Dimensional Hacking script mission last time. Unfortunately, it was too rushed at that time, and he didn't have time to communicate with Dr. Freeman more.

Small Master, there is more behind this chapter, please click on the next page to continue reading, the following is more exciting!

Creak——

With Liu Wudai's forceful push, the wooden door made a sharp noise that made people's teeth ache, and finally opened a crack.

With a gap, it was much easier to handle next.

Ding Zhensis took out a high-frequency cutting knife, David picked up the Judgement Spear, Amberly took the Tide Bringer, and Li Ang also held the Overlord's Halberd.

The four exerted force together, further prying open the wooden door and pulling the door open.

Crash——

After the door was opened, some smaller gravel rolled down.

As Li Ang said, the back of the door was blocked by stones of various sizes, forming a stone wall.

However, as long as there were gaps between the stones, everything would be fine.

Several melee players used their own methods to lift the gravel away. It took less than twenty minutes to clear a narrow path for passage on the top of the rubble.

Then it took a few more minutes for the Kui Niu mecha to pass close to the ceiling.

At this time, the original fuel in the candlestick brackets on the pillars of the hall was about to burn out. Li Ang took out some fuel from the sodium ring and refilled it to maintain the brightness of the hall.

Then he followed the others and climbed into the underground palace along the gap at the top of the rubble.

The rock above the rubble had collapsed in part. To prevent further collapse, Li Ang took out the alloy stored in the sodium ring and used alchemy to cast it into a columnar shape to support the rock layers.

The main road of the underground palace was an exceptionally spacious straight tunnel, darker than the downward steps that had been taken before. Fortunately, there were candlestick brackets on both sides of the wall. Hohnenheim fired two fireballs,

and all the candlesticks on both sides of the tunnel were lit, illuminating the road ahead.

Everyone could then see that the tunnel extended more than two hundred meters forward, and then divided into three identical forks at a crossroad.

The group of players continued to advance along the tunnel. The walls were like those in the hall, with messy claw marks.

The difference was that there were more types of marks on the tunnel walls, they were more messy, and there were also some long-dried turbid bloodstains—some of which were green or blue blood.

"Huh? What's this smell?"

Before reaching the intersection, Li Ang suddenly twitched his nose and took out a respirator from the sodium ring and put it on without thinking.

"A stagnant and unresolved sour, rotten smell."

Hohnenheim frowned, cast a layer of protective poison gas magic on everyone in the team, and put on a gas mask to prevent the magic from failing. "To be precise, it's the smell of a large number of corpses..."
