Chapter 488: Opening the Forbidden Land
"Ahem, Yuri, you should modify your car. If you return to your original world like this, you will definitely be criticized by those extreme environmentalists."
George said, fanning the smoke from his eyes.
"Oh, those flies, if they dare to come, I will hang them all on the street lamp."
Yuri lit up a thick cigar with disdain, took a puff, and said, "When does it start?"
"We have to wait until the evening, at least until we have enough people together before we can start."
George said.
"Okay, then I'll go wait in the car for a while. Call me when the time comes."
Yuri knew that George was a stubborn guy. If he said he would wait until the evening, he would wait until the evening, so he simply returned to the car.
Time passed minute by minute, and more and more people gathered in the center of the ruins.
By the evening, there was a fat man weighing more than 300 pounds, a frail and graceful woman, a pair of ordinary-looking twin brothers and a guy with a dog's head.
"The sun is about to set, why hasn't that damn Rupert come yet?" The 300-pound fat man looked at his watch and said dissatisfiedly.
"That damn guy died in the afternoon. Didn't you see the prompt?" Yuri said lightly with his eyes wide open.
"That Piero guy isn't here either." The boneless woman also said.
"Actually, we came too early. The latest agreed time is tomorrow afternoon." The guy with a dog head finally said something fair.
"I don't care. Do we have to wait for that damn guy?" said the 300-pound fat man dissatisfiedly.
"Then what do you say we should do?" the weak and boneless woman asked back.
"If it were you, I'd say we should just start exploring. We can't waste our precious time on that damn guy. Don't forget, we still have a mission to reach the top of the mountain before 5pm on the seventh day. I don't think you guys want to experience the feeling of failing in a mission, do you?"
The fat man asked the others in a cold voice.
After hearing the fat man's words, others echoed him, hoping to enter the forbidden area early.
"What do you mean?" Yuri asked casually.
Although his tone seemed casual, he had actually joined the ranks of those forcing the emperor to abdicate. If George could not give him a satisfactory answer, the problem might not be so easy to resolve.
"Humph, I wanted to let you live a little longer. Since you are so eager to die, don't blame me."
George looked at the people around him coldly , and his heart grew cold.
However, there was a smile on his face.
"Well, now that most of the people are here, let's get started."
George led everyone to a big door.
The entire gate is made of heavy granite, with stone beast heads carved on it with bloody mouths.
He said to everyone: "Behind this door is the mysterious forbidden land, but we need to put our hands into the mouths of those stone beasts. This is part of the initiation ceremony. Come and follow me to do it."
George said as he took the lead and came to the far left of the gate and put his hand into the mouth of the stone beast head.
Seeing this, Kaa followed George closely, came to his side, and also put his hand into the mouth of a beast.
The others looked at each other, all showing hesitation.
Yuri glanced at him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he uttered three words softly: "Coward."
After saying that, Yuri walked to the stone door and put his hand into the beast's mouth, but he stood next to Kao.
Seeing this, the weak and boneless woman also came to Yuri's side and put her hand into the beast's mouth.
Seeing this, the rest of the people followed suit and walked forward and put their hands into the beast's mouth.
"And then, what should we do?"
The fat man looked around and found nothing happened, so he asked impatiently.
"Recite with me, respected mysterious shadow, we follow your will and open the mysterious forbidden land. Please grant us supreme power and spread your glory to every corner of the earth ..."
The recitation echoed over the ruins.
Just after they finished reading the last word, the stone beast's head, which had been motionless, suddenly moved.
Click, click.
Starting from the right side, one after another the stone beast heads suddenly opened their mouths and swallowed the people in front of them.
One after another.
Yuri and the others were so frightened upon seeing this that they tried to pull their hands out.
However, their bodies seemed to be frozen and they could not move at all.
"It worked. The spell really works."
George was secretly delighted when he saw this situation.
This was the second method the mysterious shadow told him to open the door.
Using this method to open the gate can close most of the mechanisms in the forbidden area. However, the only drawback is that it requires the blood of five ordinary players.
However, the stone beasts stopped after devouring the 300-pound fat man, the unremarkable twin brothers, and the kobold.
The stone statue in front of the weak and boneless woman opened its mouth slightly, then slowly closed it.
The huge force disappeared, the door slowly opened to both sides, and a three-way intersection appeared in front of everyone.
"George, you owe me an explanation."
Yuri pulled out the Makarov pistol from his waist and pointed it at George.
Although George's scales can block direct fire from an AK47, the pistol in his hand has been specially modified and will definitely not be able to break George's scales.
Kao stood silently in front of George.
The weak and boneless woman pulled out a long whip from her waist, stood behind Yuri, and made her attitude clear.
Seeing this situation, George secretly thought it was a pity.
The mysterious shadow clearly told him that using the second method would require the blood of at least five players to open the stone gate, so how come it only swallowed four and it was over?
Could it be that they took genetically modified drugs that improved the quality of their blood?
Or was it that the fat man was so fat that he was mistaken for two people?
However, no matter what the situation was, the facts could not be changed now, and he could only smile helplessly and said.
"Actually, I don't know what happened, but it's already happened and there's nothing I can do. How about this, let the dead be left to die, and there will be fewer people to share the benefits. Of course, in order to avoid you accusing me of tampering after entering the forbidden area, we can act separately. I can go in first, and after you see me enter, you can choose the channel to enter by yourselves. Is that all right?"
George spread his hands and said.
Yuri and the weak and boneless woman looked at each other and nodded silently in agreement with George's opinion.
They were originally connected by a mysterious shadow, and they had only met a few times, so it was hard to say how deep their feelings were.
Since those people are dead, they will be happy because they have gained something new.
The reason why I did this just now was just to gain a little more benefit.
"Okay, then let's do as you say. But I want to go in first." Yuri said after thinking for a while .
"Yes, please!" George smiled and gestured for invitation.
Yuri looked at the three-way intersection at Ang and chose the middle one and walked in.
"It's your turn." The weak and boneless woman said to George.
George smiled and took Kao directly into the passage on the left.
The weak and boneless woman waited at the door for three minutes, and after confirming that George had no intention of returning, she dived into the passage on the right.
After everyone entered the passage, Zhang Tuohai came out from the hidden corner and looked at the three-way intersection in deep thought.
