Chapter 13 The Key to the Forbidden Door (1)

"Only an ancient map and a one-month deadline are given, where should we find this?" Osa looked at the sheepskin map in his hand anxiously. Although clearly marking all the passages and levels in the temple and the hiding place where the target is located, it is the biggest difficulty to not know where the temple is located.

"Everyone comes out, take turns to see. Does anyone know where this place is?" The old thief handed the map to his subordinates and asked them to watch them carefully one by one.

Hey~~~

Isn’t this the small temple behind our village? What is a necromancer trying to do for it? Is the black wooden box hidden inside really a treasure?

Laqi leaned over and took a look, and then he realized that the temple behind his village was drawn on the map.

"Boss, that...is...about..."

"If you have something to say, I don't have time to talk to you!!" He glared at the timid new disciple, Osa was not in awe of his spirits and said more nonsense to him.

"This place...I know."

"What did you say~~~~" the old thief grabbed the little thief's collar; "Do you know?"

"Yes...yes, right, just in the village where I used to live."

"Are you sure?"

"Really, I won't lie to you. I have lived there for twelve years and will never admit my mistake." I was afraid that the leader would not believe him, Lazi nodded.

"Let's do it, Bar, Cabri, Shider, you three go with the little devil. Remember, you have to come back within half a month. There is not much time. The necromancer will not delay us. If this little devil is wrong, we still have time to make up for it." Seeing that no other subordinate could recognize the origin of the temple, Osa had to give it a try. He asked his three most capable subordinates to go with Laqi to see if they could really find what the necromancer was looking for.

After nearly six days of long journey, the four thieves finally arrived at the border between Mingsu and Onitro - Prikaz.

This is a small mountain village with no specialties and sparsely populated areas, a barren land that even robbers don't want to visit.

The local people are simple and the residents are all ordinary farmers who grow crops.

But even in such a closed place, the thieves actually found the ancient temple that was not recorded in national maps, official history, and unofficial history.

Because he was a lonely and helpless child, Laqi did not encounter too many interrogations when he brought three out-of-town people into the village.

After staying in the woods near the temple until dark, the four thieves quietly approached the temple with the cover of the night.

Relying on his dexterous skills to avoid the patrol guards' patrol, the thieves climbed up to the roof and crawled forward carefully for an hour before they arrived at the place where the wooden box was hidden on the map.

"That's it."

Comparing the map in his hand, Bar, the oldest and most calm, was sure that the small stone house in front of him, which was completely repaired by Bai Yingshi, was their target.

However, what gave them a headache was that two fully armed temple guards at the gate blocked their way, and the guards patrolling at any time were even more difficult.

It is really difficult to enter the stone house without knowing it, but the smart thief has long thought of a way to lead the guard away.

"Shide is the most skillful. You are responsible for guiding the two guards at the door. The three of us took the opportunity to climb onto the stone roof, and then... Look, there is a ventilation hole here, so we go in from here. There must be a spell on the gate, and we can't open it with the four of us. We are all thin and small. Although this ventilation hole is very narrow, it is absolutely no problem to pass only one person at a time."

After the four thieves whispered to discuss the action plan on the roof of the temple, Shi De climbed over to the ground lightly, pretending to be protruding his head, which immediately attracted the attention of the two temple guards.

"stop!!"

Unexpectedly, a fake guard chased Shider away from their post. Barr and Cabrey immediately climbed up to the stone roof with Razi at an extremely fast speed. They remained silent and waited until the two guards who had lost Shider's trace returned to their posts before they began to act.

Carefully tie the rope to the pillar, Barr took the lead, Lazi was in the center, and behind the Cabri Hall, three thieves slid into the ventilation hole quietly. As for Shider, he spared a large circle and returned to the place where he had lurked before, and set the wind for the three companions.

The first thing Bar, who entered, had just climbed out of the ventilation hole, was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The small stone house has countless mechanisms and traps on the walls and ground, some hidden and some hidden. If it is excluded one by one, it will take more than two days.

In addition to mechanisms and traps, there are not many magic circles here.

One by one, from the simplest coma array to the deadly flame array, it will also take away a lot of time for the magician.

If you enter through the gate, no one can approach the sarcophagus placed in the center for a short time when you knock down the guard.

"Why did you stop...Bal?" Cabrey asked quietly in the ventilation hole.

"It's okay, you wait a little longer, I'll find a place to stay."

Seeing that there was no place to settle down, Barr decided to try the sarcophagus. But to be on the safe side, he gently lowered the cloth bag he originally planned to use for the wooden box.

The cloth bag fell softly on the sarcophagus, without sparking or making a sound. Barr took out the dagger he carried with him and threw it down.

"Clang!"

Except for the crisp sound of metal and stone colliding, no abnormality occurred, and Barr landed on the sarcophagus with confidence.

"Be good, I bet that the things here must be very valuable, otherwise how could such a remote little temple spend so much energy to guard against?" Cabri, who came down the last time, was also surprised to see the arrangement of the stone house.

"Don't be dazed, come and open the coffin lid together, take the things and leave, don't forget our purpose, stay too long and be careful to be discovered." Barr hooked the rope with his feet and pushed the heavy coffin lid with his hands; "Come and help, this coffin lid is so heavy..."

With the efforts of the three of them, it took a lot of effort to push the lid of the sarcophagus a little.

"Evil~~~What does this taste like?"

After the coffin lid was opened, a strong stench came out, and soon the entire stone house was filled with this strange smell.

"It's the smell of corpse... Lazi, hurry up, see if there is a black wooden box inside, there is a sun mark above it." Barr pinched his nose and asked Lazi, the smallest, to get the things in the sarcophagus.

"I?" When I was called, Lazi lit a candle in fear and looked into the gap. "Oh my god! What is this?!"

"Shh~~~~Don't shout! Boy, are you afraid of your life?" He quickly covered Lazi Ruohua's mouth, and Barr nervously paid attention to the movement outside.

Fortunately, the guards at the door did not seem to notice any abnormalities inside.

"What did you see?" Cabri took the candle from Laqi's hand. When he looked at it briefly, his scalp also felt numb.

A rotten corpse was placed in the sarcophagus, and only a few skeletons were still covered with black and smelly meat, which were cut from below the waist. A black wooden box was placed in an empty place. With the light of the fire, one could roughly see a sun mark on it.

"It's it!" Cabri reached in excitedly and took out the box.

"Look, both the shape and the pattern are in perfect harmony."

"Okay, put it up, let's go out quickly." Barr walked in front, climbed out of the ventilation hole and made sure there were no patrol soldiers around, and quickly gestured to the two companions below.

"It's better to leave early, I will stay in this kind of place for a moment." After taking the cloth bag containing the wooden box, Lazi tied it to his shoulders, and began to climb up the rope.

But halfway through, he saw Barr's expression full of horror. Lazi instinctively followed his gaze and looked down—

"Be careful! Cabri~~~~"

The white bones in the sarcophagus were supposed to have climbed up, and Cabri, who was facing away from it, did not notice any strangeness behind him. He found that the two companions looked wrong, and when he turned around, he happened to meet the dead body that opened his mouth and attacked him.

“Ah~~~~~~~”

"Cabri!!"

The thief Cabri was bitten by the corpse and fell out. The flame array that fell to the ground immediately turned into a burning fireball.

A scream sounded, alarming the guards outside the door. They knew that someone had slipped into the stone house, leaving one guard, and another guard hurried to report the message.

"Bar, I've been discovered!!" He didn't dare to speak loudly, and Shider's voice could not be conveyed to Barar on the stone roof. He could only watch the guards who were going to report the news and led a team of patrol soldiers back.

"Lachi, hurry up! It's chasing!!" Barr discovered that the moving corpse had killed Cabri and then aimed at Laachi, who was frightened by this terrible scene and could not move.

"Lachi, hurry up, what are you rubbing against?"

"Bar...I...I'm weak in all my limbs and can't move at all..." Lazi stared at the terrible corpse wandering below. The gaze from the dark eyes made him unable to be cold all over.

"Come up quickly, or you will crawl up like Cabrey!" Barr also found that the patrol soldiers were coming, and time was urgent and Lazi could not tolerate fear.

"Ah~~~~" Lazi, who had tears and snot, suddenly saw the body that had just killed Cabri and grabbed the other end of the rope, and seemed to have the intention of climbing up.

Sure enough, the monster pulled the rope and found it was quite strong, so he climbed up.

After such a stimulation, Laqi began to climb up desperately, and the increasingly stench of the dead bodies behind him made him cry for "help".

"Does go!!"

A middle-aged man with a priest's appearance came over the crowd of several priests. He quickly recited the spell and opened the stone door that had been covered with dust for many years.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the dead body looking back at the open door, Lazi finally climbed out of the ventilation hole. Barr immediately threw the rope down. As soon as the temple staff opened the door, they saw the scene of the dead body just landing on the ground.

"Oh my God! Master Tah, what kind of monster is this?!" The temple guards had never seen a moving corpse.

"It's a lich, go to rule the hall and ask them to send more priests. Why are you still standing there? Go quickly!!" The male priest known as Tah set up a protective barrier at the gate, and the soldiers pulled out their weapons and prepared to fight with the monsters inside at any time.
