Chapter 275 Chain Trap
Goofy smiled at King Olaf on the mural, turned his eyes to the other side, and soon noticed that in addition to the entrance and exit, there was a niche in the center of each of the other six walls in the octagonal hall.
In each niche stood a giant skeleton wearing bronze armor and holding a shining giant axe!
Out of curiosity, Gao Fei remotely controlled the "floating ball" and flew to one of the giant skeletons, using the light to observe it carefully.
The skeleton giant is about nine feet tall from head to toe. The skull is not shaped like a human but more like a bull's head, and a pair of thick and sharp horns extend from its forehead.
It can be seen from this that the six skeletons displayed in the niche were all minotaurs during their lifetime.
These fully armed skeleton minotaurs assumed the same posture, standing at attention and saluting facing the sarcophagus placed in the center of the hall.
Gao Fei turned around and looked at the center of the hall. There was a dark coffin displayed on the circular platform made of marble. It seemed to be polished from a huge piece of obsidian. Complex magic runes were carved on the surface of the coffin.
Directly opposite the platform where the coffins are displayed stands a marble obelisk that looks like a tombstone, but has no epitaph.
Goofy walked up to the obelisk, stood at attention and bowed.
The so-called "role-playing game", trying to assume the role you play is the most basic quality.
As a direct descendant of King Olaf, Goofy felt the need to pay respect to his ancestors.
At the moment he bowed, the obelisk suddenly emitted a soft light, and four lines of epitaphs that looked like poems appeared from the stone tablet:
Here sleeps the noble king,
Holy Karl Olaf,
The guardian of the Asa people,
May he never be forgotten!
…
Jiang Feng, Qi Tian, Eve and others also came to the tombstone and bowed in respect.
After a while, the luminous words on the obelisk slowly disappeared and fell silent.
"Brother Fei, what should we do next?" Qi Tian asked.
Gao Fei unfolded the tomb passage map in his hand, looked at it, and whispered: "According to Uncle Joseph, King Olaf's body lies in the sarcophagus, but the Holy Ax was not buried with King Olaf."
"We must first open the sarcophagus and obtain a runestone from the body of King Olaf. The command to open the door to the Holy Ax Hall is engraved on the runestone."
"After entering the Holy Ax Hall, you must use runestones with the blood of the heir of Olaf's royal family to obtain the sacred axe."
"Understood, shall we open the coffin now?"
"Don't worry, in order to prevent tomb robbers from destroying King Olaf's body, there is a trap inside the sarcophagus. Once the trap is triggered, the door of the tomb will automatically close, and at the same time, poisonous gas will erupt from the sarcophagus."
"According to Uncle Joseph, this poison gas trap was designed by his father himself. It is equivalent to the 5th level of 'Death Cloud Technique'. Every time you stay in a place filled with poisonous gas for one round, you will suffer 5d6 points of poison damage. Even if you pass the Fortitude save, Will take half the damage."
Gao Fei put away the tomb passage map and his expression became extremely serious.
"Not only that, when the poisonous gas starts to erupt, the six skeleton minotaurs in the tomb niche will also wake up, come out and wield giant axes to slaughter the intruders trapped in the poisonous gas."
"The challenge level of the skull minotaur is level 5. It has all the combat skills in life, and the undead are immune to poison damage. It also has blind vision and its vision is not blocked by poisonous clouds. Fighting in this environment is very disadvantageous for us. "
"So, if we don't want to get into a bitter battle, it's best to try to remove the trap first?" Qi Tian asked.
"It is very difficult to disarm the trap, and even if you do it, you can only prevent the poisonous gas from erupting, but you will still wake up the skeleton minotaur guarding the coffin." Gao Fei replied.
"As long as there is no poisonous gas in the way, six skeleton tauren are not difficult to deal with." Jiang Feng interjected.
Her Yang Yanzong martial arts are best suited for dealing with undead creatures. If Qi Tian can successfully dismantle the poison gas trap, she can kill all the skeleton tauren by herself.
Qi Tian touched his pocket and took out a bottle of green potion.
"I have a bottle of anti-poison potion here. After taking it, you can temporarily resist the poison. The problem is that there is only one bottle..."
"One bottle is enough." Gao Fei said thoughtfully, "Drink the potion now, and then try to dismantle the poison gas trap. I have an 'Adaptation Necklace'. Holding your breath can avoid inhaling the poison gas. Eve can become Crawling monsters and supernatural plants are naturally immune to toxins, and Jiang Feng's 'qi therapy' can also be used to detoxify them. As for others, for the sake of safety, it is better to exit the tomb first."
Everyone did not object to his arrangement and acted independently.
Qi Tian drank the anti-virus potion, walked to the coffin, and found that the DC to dismantle the trap was as high as 24. Even a skilled thief like him was not completely sure.
"I have no choice but to try my luck."
Qi Tian took a deep breath and began to dismantle the trap.
The rogue's Trap Expert class ability allows him to double his proficiency bonus on double-double Sleight of Hand checks made when dismantling a trap.
Qitian's Sleight of Hand skill is +12, and with two 20-sided dice, he can succeed as long as either one rolls more than 11 points.
Gao Fei held his breath and focused on the team channel.
When Qitian starts to dismantle the trap, the relevant test roll data will be displayed in the channel.
Two 20-sided dice are thrown out, the first is 18 points and the second is 19 points.
"Wori! You are so awesome, Xiaotian, no one else has such luck!"
Gao Fei couldn't help but be shocked by Qi Tian's incredible dice luck.
Qi Tian smiled and said casually: "It's okay, I didn't mess it up."
He had successfully removed the trap, but he was still squatting in front of the coffin and continued to work, trying to completely dismantle the device full of poisonous gas and recycle it.
"Brother Fei, Sister Feng! I still have some work to do here, I'll leave those bull-headed skeletons to you!"
At the same time as the trap was removed, the six skeleton minotaurs displayed in the niche were also collectively awakened, with pale soul fires lighting up in their eye sockets. They strode out of the niche, raised their battle axes, and launched a siege on the people in the tomb.
"Little Niu Niu, don't be so irritable, lie down obediently!"
Gao Fei turned on "Rage", and his strength attribute soared to 26. Facing the four skeleton minotaurs that were besieging him, he stomped his feet and launched an "earthquake"!
"Earthquake" combined with "Mastery of Collision" triggered a powerful shock wave that swept along the floor of the tomb, instantly knocking all four skeleton minotaurs to the ground, cracking their bones.
Jiang Feng seized the opportunity and took a big step forward, picking the most ideal angle, and blasted out the Sun Flame Palm. The golden air wave swept across the sky, submerging the four skeleton minotaurs on the opposite side who had not had time to climb up, turning them into broken bones all over the ground.
