Chapter 133 - Desperate Survival

The moment the lights flickered in the cave, I could clearly see the flames on the lamp tray rushing up the pillars of the wooden frame, lighting the rope that held the wooden frame in place.

When the line of fire on the rope was like a red snake coiling around the wooden frame, someone exclaimed in the distance, "The shelf is on fire! Jump down......

"Don't move!" the black butterfly shouted at his subordinates, but someone jumped off the beam. When the other party landed on the next wooden beam, the crossbar under his feet suddenly made a loud "crunch" sound, and the rope tied to the crossbar interface suddenly snapped, and flew into the air with strings of firelight.

The split beam then turned half a circle in a clockwise direction, with the jumping detective hand on the left and a puppet on the right, like a seesaw that had been magnified countless times, barely maintaining its balance and stopping in mid-air.

I couldn't help but gasp. No wonder when I just fell, all I saw were T-shaped wooden frames, which were not meant to be connected to form passages, but to separate themselves when outsiders invaded, forming balance beams, so that people could not take care of each other, so that they could only fight on their own.

Shortly after the thought crossed my mind, there was a muffled sound of a rope breaking on the beam across from me. I subconsciously moved my body, and the wooden beam under me slowly turned, moving me little by little in the direction of Enron.

In the next moment, the ropes broke, the wooden beams turned, and the screams of the crowd echoed in the cave, and all the probes were picked in the air without exception.

The mechanism in the cave is not as simple as trapping people in the air, and perhaps, the next moment, it will reveal its hideous face.

After only a few seconds, I heard a scream in the distance, and by the time I looked back, a puppet on the crossbar had shifted its position and slowly slid down the slide carved into the beam towards the Detective Hand on the other side. The other party screamed again and again, pulled out his gun and fired at the puppet continuously, although the puppet was flying sawdust under the gunfire, the speed of the golem did not decrease at all.

A few seconds later, the wooden beam holding the probe's hand lost its balance under the puppet's stroke, and fell straight in the direction of the probe's hand, and the man was gradually suspended in the air, but the golem on top accelerated in an instant and rushed straight towards the other party.

The man was in a dilemma. If you let go, he will fall straight to the bottom of the cave, and who knows what mechanism is hidden in the boiling muddy water below the cave?

The hesitation between life and death may only happen in a few seconds, but often it is a few seconds that can change everything.

After a few breaths, there was a strange sound of pulleys crushing fingers from under the puppet's feet, and when the man's screams rose to the sky, the giant axe raised by the puppet also fell in an instant, and the blood light at the end of the crosswood burst out, and the man's screams also stopped abruptly.

When the bloody corpse fell to the bottom of the cave, it made a strange "poof" sound, and when I looked down again, a piece of iron thorn with an upside-down blade had been exposed in the splash of the corpse, and the corpse that fell into the water was being picked up at the tip of the iron spike and slowly sinking underwater.

The corpse was completely submerged in the muddy water after only one breath, but the blood on the water still made people shudder.

A god probe has disappeared forever into the trap's hole, but the fear of the trap is far from over.

Slashing a Detective Golem, the golem paused at the edge of the balance beam before heading to the bottom of the hole.

I watched as the puppet spun around in the air a few times before slamming into the edge of a wooden beam, and the probe, who had been picked at the other end, rose into the air under the violent concussion, screaming and falling into the water. Scarlet blood floated from the bottom of the water, but one of the man's palms was still stretched out on the surface of the water and struggled weakly, and it was a long time before he hung limply into the water.

I couldn't help but gasp, and the whole cave fell silent again, and no one knew when the next mechanism would be activated, or which puppet would burst into trouble.

We're all hung on the beams, and once the puppet is activated, there's no way to avoid it.

It is impossible for a mechanism to be free of flaws, even modern computer-controlled machinery will have errors, let alone ancient mechanisms?

There must be a way to crack the mechanism in front of you. Where are the flaws in the mechanism?

I was thinking about it, when An Ran suddenly shouted: "Brother Huan, be careful, the mechanism over there has moved!"

There were no puppets across from me, but the wooden beams beneath me were always balanced, and the weight of the wooden beams must have been underneath.

Before I could look down, the wooden beam beneath me suddenly spun around, and I was pushed away from Enron's direction, but the other end of the wooden beam slid towards the puppet opposite Enron.

When I looked sideways, I saw a stone slab hanging from under my wooden beam, and it was the same stone slab that kept the balance of the wooden beam, but now, the rope hanging from the stone slab did not know how to light a fire. It won't be long before the rope will be completely burned by the fire, and when the slate slams against Enron, that is, the moment I can't hold the crossbar and falls into the water, Enron will also be thrown into the air in the violent earthquake and die.

"Enron, you hold on. I held the beam with both hands, stood up from the beam, and jumped up with both feet, and the beam under my feet had just been lifted a little, and I forced it back, even a little more than before.

The stone slab that was picked up at the other end of the crossbar suddenly rose upward, and I kicked the crosswood hard with my foot, and flew away in the direction of Enron with the strength of my feet.

At the same time, the beam I was on also spun in a half-circle under my kick, throwing the slate into the air.

The slow-burning rope could no longer withstand the force of the slate, and it snapped the moment I jumped into the air. The stone slab, which was not pulled by a rope, flew into the air and fell with me onto the wooden beam where Enron was.

I am in the middle of the air, but my heart sinks to the bottom.

I can't calculate the mechanics, the distance, the parabola, and so on in just a few seconds, and I dare to jump in the direction of Enron, which is a complete gamble.

If we win, the two of us will be able to fight for a chance to survive, and if we lose, we will both have to die at the bottom of the cave together.

Now, the slate flew with me to the wooden beam where Enron was, if it couldn't hit the wooden beam, it would be fine, once it smashed on the beam, An Ran and I would definitely die.

Between life and death, the most common thing is to close your eyes and resign yourself to fate, but I don't even dare to close my eyes now - our life and death are in those few seconds, and once I close my eyes, I will miss the few seconds that will make the difference. I could only open my eyes to see if I was alive or dead.

Just a moment later, the stone slab with the wind howling fell into the water against the edge of the wooden beam, and before the splash of the stone slab could be calmed down, I jumped into the middle of the wooden beam where An Ran was.

Before I could stand on my feet, the crossbar jerked in the direction of Enron, and the puppet on the other end suddenly moved, raising its tomahawk and rushing in front of me.

After I barely managed to stand still, I suddenly turned around and rushed straight in the direction of the puppet, and within a distance of only two or three meters, I pulled out my contempt and slashed at the puppet's shoulder. The sharp blade of the sky instantly slashed the handle of the axe in the puppet's hand, and I rushed in front of the puppet in one step, fitting into the puppet.

Suddenly, with a loud bang, the wooden puppet was knocked into the water by me, but I stepped on the sawdust crossbar and rushed to the opposite side of Enron. It wasn't until the wooden beam regained its balance that I squatted down on the beam with trembling legs, and the cold sweat like water continued to drip down on my head, falling on the wooden beam.

After a long time, I was relieved: "Enron, are you okay?"

"I didn't ...... It's okay......" An Ran's voice was also trembling. After such a journey between life and death, no one will be calm.

A thought flashed through my head: Zhuge Wuhou didn't want to kill them all, otherwise, he wouldn't have to design this kind of balance beam-like mechanism, as long as he didn't set up a wooden frame and let the water wash us all into the cave, who would survive the trap full of iron thorns?

There must be a way to survive in the vault.

I tried to turn around: "Ye Xun, how are you over there?"

The beam where Ye Xun is located is the same as mine, there is no puppet on it, but there is a coffin hanging below instead of a stone slab.

When my eyes fell on the coffin, I was shocked. The other wooden shelves were hung with stone slabs, and Ye Xun would not hang a coffin there for no reason.

As soon as I wanted to remind Ye Xun to be careful, the coffin hanging on one end of the horizontal wood suddenly exploded by itself, and dozens of bats swarmed out of the broken coffin and flew out in all directions.

The horizontal wood on Ye Xun's side suddenly sank, and Ye Xun also stepped on the wooden beam like me, and flew straight to the nearby horizontal beam. Ye Xun is different from me, he is a master of the inner family, he has practiced light skills, he can walk in the air for a short time, and it is easier for him to find a place to stay.

Who would have thought that before Ye Xun was in the air and galloped against the wind, the detective who was lying on the horizontal wood in the distance raised his pistol against him, he should have been afraid that Ye Xun would fall on his horizontal wood and bring him into the bottom of the cave.

The man was about to take aim when I threw a shot at him. The man was thrown a few feet away by the bullet and fell into the water without shouting. The wooden beam that was out of balance suddenly rose into the air at this moment - the place where Ye Xun landed was gone!

"Use the flying claws!" I knew that Ye Xun didn't have time to pick up the flying claws in the backpack, but I still subconsciously shouted.

Ye Xun, who was in the air, suddenly made a move, and slapped his palm at the raised horizontal wood in the air. The wooden beam that was deflected by a puppet was knocked back to its original position by Ye Xun's palm force, and he himself landed on the beam without danger.

Ye Xun's skills have improved again.
