"For the sake of safety, it's best for everyone to dodge a little bit, don't gather at the edge of the pit, when I lift this marble slab, maybe it will trigger the trap that may exist below."

Ye Tian raised his head and said to the few guys standing at the mouth of the pit, and he was about to start lifting the marble slab at the bottom of the pit.

At this time, he was standing on the side of the marble slab at the bottom of the pit, wearing a full protective suit, a gas mask, a safety rope tied around his waist, and a heavy police shield about 1.5 meters high at his feet.

The safety rope attached to his body was very firmly attached to a boulder weighing seven or eight hundred kilograms in the confessional cell.

As for Derek, who had been digging at the bottom of the pit before, they had all returned to the floor of the confessional cell, and they were also wearing protective gear.

"Okay, Steven, be careful yourself"

David and Bishop Kent nodded in unison, and then left the edge of the pit.

Next, Ye Tian held the edge of the marble slab at the bottom of the pit with both hands, and then violently lifted the heavy marble slab up.

"Click"

The marble slab had been lifted less than twenty centimeters when there was a sudden sound of a machine turning from under the slate.

Perhaps because of the age, the sound sounded very jerky and harsh, making people get goosebumps all over their bodies and their scalps tingle.

Immediately afterward, another 'whooshing' sound of breaking wind came from under the stone slabs.

The first time he heard the sound of the machine turning, Ye Tian's hands that were gripping the edge of the marble slab immediately loosened, and he quickly retreated, and retreated backwards like lightning.

Look at the heavy marble slab again, it has fallen with a bang, and smashed straight to the bottom of the pit, making a loud noise.

In the next moment, there was another clanging sound from under the marble slab, very dense, it was the sound of a rain of arrows and javelins shooting on the marble slab.

"Ah——!h

There was an exclamation in the confessional cell, and everyone was startled by the sudden change.

Before the exclamation fell, David and the others could not wait to ask in a loud voice:

"Steven, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, don't worry, fortunately, my reaction is quite agile, and I let go of the marble slab as soon as possible, otherwise this would have been shot into a hedgehog"

Ye Tian said jokingly, not the slightest hint of nervousness could be heard in his tone, but he was a little excited.

"It's okay, Steven, everyone was shocked, they didn't expect that there was a trap under that marble slab, and after more than seven hundred years, it could still operate normally, it was incredible"

The Bishop of Kent continued, apparently with lingering palpitations.

At this time, he was secretly glad that the person standing at the bottom of the pit was fortunately not himself, otherwise he would have been killed nine times out of ten, and was shot into a hedgehog by the rain of arrows and javelins in the depths of the secret passage.

And Ye Tian, who was at the bottom of the pit, had already looked at the marble slab again, and said with a smile:

"I have to say, this is indeed a small miracle, I didn't expect that the trap under this marble slab would still work normally, and it would be very deadly.

Obviously, the Knights Templar must have taken great cost and painstaking effort to set up these traps, and they probably made all the parts rust-proof.

What great secrets are hidden in the depths of this secret passage that deserve such caution from the Knights Templar?

Hearing his words, everyone in the confessional cell suddenly became more excited, and their eyes lit up like searchlights.

After a slight pause, Ye Tian's voice came up from the bottom of the pit again.

"Jason, put two jacks down for me, I'm going to lift this marble slab little by little, completely consume the rain of arrows and javelins in the depths of the secret passage, and remove the danger"

"Okay, Steven, I'll put the jack down."

Jason answered, and immediately went into action.

Soon, two small but powerful jacks were lowered to the bottom of the pit.

After getting the jack, Ye Tian immediately grabbed the edge of the marble slab again and lifted it up.

Almost as soon as the sound of the machine sounded again, he quickly stretched out his hand and shoved a jack under the marble slab, pushing it against the heavy marble slab.

As for the ground under the jack, it is a base made of granite and concrete, which is very strong, and there is no need to worry about the jack not having a focus point and sinking because of it.

As before, there was another sound of breaking wind in the secret passage below the marble slab, and another rain of arrows and javelins flew from the darkness and shot straight at the marble slab above.

As before, the deadly rain of arrows and javelins were all shot at the marble slabs, and nothing came of it except for a clanging sound.

Next, Ye Tian concocted the same method, and successfully stuffed another jack under the marble slab, and lifted one side of the marble slab.

There was another cacophony of metal scraping, another rain of arrows and javelins coming from the darkness, and then all shooting at the base of the marble slab with a clanging sound.

In this way, after several successive times, the secret passage under the marble slab finally fell silent, and there was no more rain of arrows and javelins shooting from the darkness.

It wasn't until he was sure that it was completely safe that Ye Tian lifted the heavy marble slab with all his might, turned it over to the side, and leaned on the side of the bottom of the pit.

At this time, a secret passage leading to the depths of the underground finally appeared in front of his eyes.

At the entrance to this secret passage, a rusty iron fence was laid flat, and each iron bar on the fence was five or six centimeters in diameter, which looked quite sturdy.

Because of the previous wave of arrow rain attacks, the rust formed on the iron fence has fallen off in many places, revealing the iron bars inside.

At the same time, he saw the mechanism that triggered the mechanism.

It was a metal rod protruding from under the iron bar, one end of which had been pressed under the marble slab and the other end that had extended into the wall on the side of the passage.

Obviously, this is a trap that is triggered by pressure changes.

Anyone who lifts that heavy marble slab will instantly trigger a trap and usher in a storm of attacks.

In the Middle Ages seven or eight hundred years ago, this mechanism can be said to be very advanced, and what is even more commendable is that today, more than 700 years later, this mechanism is still effective and still very deadly!

Ye Tian glanced at the situation at the entrance of the secret passage, and then said loudly:

"Guys, the bottom of the pit is safe now, you can come up and take a look at it in batches, but you still have to be careful, just in case, Jason, put the handheld electric cutter down"

As soon as the words fell, the heads of David and Bishop Kent appeared at the edge of the pit, and they looked at the bottom of the pit one by one.

When they saw the secret passage at the bottom of the pit, they immediately began to talk excitedly.

"Wow! There is indeed a secret passage here, I don't know where this secret passage leads, and what secrets are hidden in the depths of the secret passage? Is it a treasure of the Knights Templar? It's so exciting!"

"There is no doubt that this secret passage must have been created by the Knights Templar, and at all costs, what is hidden in the depths of the secret passage must be extraordinary, and it is likely to be another major discovery that will shock the world."

While David and the others were discussing, Ye Tian observed the situation at the entrance and exit of the secret passage again, and then said with a smile:

"Guys, judging by the wetness at the entrance to the passage, this passage should be connected to the River Thames not far away, and on the other side of the Thames, there may be a very secret exit.

And the air quality in this secret passage looks okay, not too dirty, which is enough to show that there is another exit in this secret passage, but I don't know where that exit is"

As he spoke, Jason had already taken the hand-held electric cutter and hoisted it into the bottom of the pit.

Ye Tian immediately took the hand-held electric cutting machine, quickly started it, and directly began to cut the iron fence at the entrance of the secret passage.

On the other side, the first floor of the temple church.

Prince William was chatting with a few other Brits, and the central topic was, of course, the ongoing joint exploration operation.

At that moment, they suddenly heard the sound of cutting metal objects coming from the basement entrance.

The first time they heard this noise, Prince William and the others immediately turned their heads to look at the basement, without exception, and everyone looked excited.

"I'm sure Steven's guys must have made a major discovery, and it's probably a secret chamber deep underground, but I don't know what exactly is hidden in that underground secret room?"

"I have to admit that this guy Steven is indeed very amazing, our two law colleges have been here for more than 700 years, but we have never found out that there are still hidden secrets here.

Steven has only been here for a long time, but it was only an hour or two, and he actually found a secret room hidden deep underground, which is incredible, and it is impossible not to admire."

While there was a lot of talking, the Brits all walked out and towards the entrance of the basement to see if they could enter the basement or find out some valuable information.

However, they clearly miscalculated.

At the door of the basement, Cole and Leonardo each led several armed security personnel to stand by, and no one wanted to enter the basement without Ye Tian's permission.
