Chapter 240: Chapter 0240 Throwing a Stone to Test the Water



After a long time, everyone finally recovered from the shock.

"What is this!"

The old hand of tomb raiding, Fatty, turned pale and said tremblingly: "I have been robbing tombs for a few years. I have seen people cut in half by sandwich mechanisms and buried alive in the gravel tomb, but this is the first time I have seen someone being smashed to pieces!"

Although it is still a death, but being smashed to pieces is a way of death...

To be honest, even though I have seen a lot of life and death in this line, I can't stand it. I guess Fatty and the others have the same idea.

After a moment of silence, I looked at Cao Yuan, who had just finished vomiting and whose face was still a little pale, and asked in a deep voice: "Can you see the mechanism in this corridor?"

"No, I only know that there are mechanisms everywhere in the Loulan Palace!"

Cao Yuan was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "My memory is incomplete."

I nodded, indicating that I understood. After thinking about it carefully, I felt that I had too high expectations. After all, Cao Yuan could only vaguely remember some things in his previous life because of the connection between him and his substitute, but they were only fragments. It was rare to be able to recall to this point. How could he remember every detail?

After a little hesitation, I walked past Iris and Hughes and went directly to the place where Burke died in front.

"Fa Qiu Secret Art" is simply an encyclopedia, and there are some records of mechanical arts in it. I want to go and see if I can find out any doorway. In fact, I am mainly holding the mentality of giving it a try, because I don't know much about mechanical arts. The handwritten notes left by my ancestor are really too profound. I guess I can't understand it without ten years of verification. Since I got this book for half a year, I have been looking at the Feng Shui and Qimen Dunjia in it. I just read the mechanical arts once and didn't study this knowledge deeply. So I am really a little nervous about whether I can see the doorway in this corridor!

"Xiaotian!"

Qingyi probably guessed what I was going to do, frowned and called me, and when I turned around, he hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said to me: "Be careful."

I smiled, made an "OK" gesture to Qingyi and the others, and then walked towards the place where the accident happened without looking back.

This place has become a purgatory on earth.

The ground and the walls on both sides were covered with blood, bone fragments and internal organs that splashed out after Burke was smashed alive. It was wet and slippery when I stepped on it, which was particularly disgusting. I was also very careful, for fear that I would slip and roll down the steps and trigger the mechanism and be beaten to death.

I walked all the way to the upper step where Burke had the accident, and finally stopped and observed carefully.

Needless to say, the key to triggering the mechanism must be on the bluestone slab of the corridor steps. It should be a gravity device. After stepping on it, the bluestone slab will sink under pressure and then trigger the mechanism. In this way, the boulders on both sides of the corridor will be pushed out, and then the person who stepped on the mechanism will be beaten to death!

Unfortunately, I looked carefully at the place where Burke stepped on. The bluestone slab there has now returned to its original state and is very well connected. There is no abnormality from the outside. It is difficult to tell with the naked eye where the fatal trap is!

However, this corridor is not very wide, only a little over one meter, and each step is paved with two stone slabs. When Burke stepped on the wrong place just now, he landed on both feet, but the stone slab on his right foot was fine. It was the stone slab on the left that triggered the mechanism after being pressed by gravity and killed him. In other words, there is always one safe stone slab on the steps, and it is not a dead end. After all, the Loulan people built the corridor in order to take out the treasure after restoring the country in the future, and they would not really make a road that cannot be passed!

Then, the arrangement of the traps on the steps should have a certain pattern!

Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth and took another step forward, standing on the stone slab on the right side of the step where Burke died. I did it with my eyes closed throughout the whole process, and my heartbeat kept accelerating. Maybe my action was too abrupt, which scared several teammates behind me. Cao Yuan exclaimed "Ah", but she made me so scared that I almost fell down. My hand subconsciously supported the stone wall on the right side of the corridor, and my hand was immediately stained with blood, which was disgusting enough.

However, after my trial, I basically confirmed my thoughts in my heart-on this step, the bluestone slab on the right side is safe.

I turned around and shouted to the fat man: "Throw your crowbar to me!"

"Okay!"

The fat man responded and quickly handed me the crowbar!

What do you need a crowbar for?

There is only one purpose, to throw a stone to ask for directions!

I wanted to see which bluestone brick on the next step was a trap, so I picked up the crowbar and smashed it hard on the bluestone brick on the right side of the next step. I hit it with great force. When I hit it with a "clang", I could see a ball of sparks bursting out from the bluestone brick. It was quite dazzling in the dark. The broken pieces of the bluestone brick collapsed on my face and it hurt so much. The recoil force made my palm numb. However, the effect of the crowbar was also very obvious. The bluestone brick I hit sank directly. The stone walls on both sides of the next step closed and collided with each other with a "boom". I didn't even have time to pull my crowbar back and it was caught in the middle. The crowbar was bent directly. You can imagine how strong the closing force was!

The trap on the next step is on the stone slab on the right!

To be on the safe side, after the stone walls on both sides separated, I smashed the bluestone brick on the left side of the next step again. That bluestone brick was safe.

Following this method, I tried going down a few more steps. I had already grasped the rules of the traps, so I stepped back, pointed at Hughes who had just calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "You, go down, follow the right-left-left pattern and keep going down!"

According to my research, the traps in this corridor should be arranged in an alternating pattern of odd and even numbers, that is, if the trap on this step is on the bluestone slab on the left, then the trap on the next step is on the right. We just need to walk in the opposite way and it will be fine!

Hughes had already had a mental breakdown at this time, how could he be willing! ? Later, I put the Baipi knife on his neck and forced him to take a step, like forcing a duck to climb a shelf, and Iris followed him.

After they walked down hundreds of meters according to the pace pattern I taught, I finally felt relieved when I saw that they were fine - it seems that my speculation is correct.

"We can leave now!"

I breathed a sigh of relief and turned to greet the fat man and the others: "Do you remember the rules I mentioned? Don't make a mistake. If you make a mistake, you will die!"

In fact, I just wanted to remind them. I guess they knew it well. No one wanted to be smashed to pieces by the mechanism in the corridor!

After that, I took the lead and went straight on the road.

In the corridor, we didn't encounter any fatal places. We walked down for half an hour. With the dim light of the strong flashlight, I finally saw the end of the stairs. There was an exit there, and I didn't know where it led to. Hughes and Iris stood at the exit. Their expressions were rather strange, but because they were far away from me and most of their faces were shrouded in shadows, they were a little too unreal. In short... their expressions were very wrong!

At this time, the two looked at each other and rushed to the exit without saying a word!

"No, they're going to run!"

My face changed immediately, and I didn't care about anything else. I pulled out my Baipi Knife and chased them. Fortunately, I didn't panic. Otherwise, if I stepped on a trap in the chaos, I would have to wait and see! !

A hundred or so steps, not far, not close, it only took me a dozen seconds to run at full speed, but when I rushed out of the exit, I was stunned!

Because the exit was connected to an empty stone room of four or five hundred square meters, with many stone pillars standing in it. Among the stone pillars, more than a dozen men and women gathered. Hughes and Iris had already gathered among these men and women at this time. They were clearly in the same group as these people, and they were sneering at me.

The most important thing is that these more than ten people were equipped with all kinds of guns and cannons, and the black muzzles of the guns were almost all pointed at me! ! !
