Several people stood at the entrance of the staircase that turned to the right, and no one dared to raise their feet to go down first, hoping that others would walk in front.

Ouyang Qi took the map and flipped through it and looked at it, and finally sighed and said, "There must be a mechanism in the passage below, but this mechanism can't be cracked, so everyone can only be careful by themselves!"

"What kind of organ is that?" Qi Mingyuan asked.

"You can't see it from this map!" Ouyang Qi shook his head.

Several people were speechless, first looking at each other, and then up and down the passage.

The passage is about ten meters away, and there is a turning point at the top, and it is impossible to see from above whether there is a door at the turning point or another passage.

The walls on both sides of the passage are pitted and far less flat than those elsewhere.

"Wouldn't it be hidden in the walls on both sides?" Wei Hua said, reaching out and touching the pitted walls.

Poplar touched the wall with his hand, too. At least as far as he could see and touch, there were only potholes in the walls, and there were no holes or anything like that.

"It's hard to say!" Ouyang Qi smiled bitterly, "No wonder Wang Jiutang has a great reputation, and it can be called unprecedented! These organs he set up are all incredible, even if I compare it with this map he drawn, I can't understand many places!"

Bai Yang suddenly had a thought and said, "Why don't you ask the Qi Gang Master to roll on the ground with the Meteor Hammer first, and see what kind of mechanism it will trigger!"

Several people immediately praised it, and they all said that Poplar's brain did turn faster than others.

Qi Mingyuan also felt that this method was worth trying, so he immediately took out the meteor hammer and said, "Then let's try it!" But everyone retreats to the upper stairs, so as to avoid triggering the mechanism and launching it with arrows and the like, we are all dead!"

He has a point. At this moment, several people were all crowded at the bend of the upper and lower passages, and if any sharp weapons were fired, several people would have nowhere to hide.

So several people immediately retreated to the stairs of the upper floor.

Qi Mingyuan also retreated to the bend, so that if any sharp weapon hit, he could dodge it by shrinking back.

He grabbed the chain in one hand and shook the meteor hammer in the other, and suddenly with a throw of his arm, the meteor hammer arced and smashed into the passage that bent downward.

Everyone couldn't see the bend, only the "thump" sound of the meteor hammer hitting the stone steps.

Immediately after that, there seemed to be a "swish" sound, which should have triggered some mechanism. But there were no sharp arrows or anything like that, shooting at the bend of the upper and lower passages where a few people had just stayed.

Qi Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then he faced the passage down and threw the meteor hammer again.

However, his body was still clinging to the bend of the wall, ready to dodge.

There was another "thud", and the Meteor Hammer smashed down the stone steps again, and it was obvious that it bounced a few times.

The others still couldn't see the situation in the passage below, except for Qi Mingyuan's "huh".

"What's wrong?" Ouyang Qi asked immediately.

"Come and see for yourself!" Qi Mingyuan replied, "Don't worry, these hidden weapons won't be launched!"

Only then did a few people descend the stairs and gather again to the bend in the upper and lower passages.

Qi Mingyuan carried the meteor hammer in his hand, gave it a try, and threw it down again.

The Meteor Hammer bounced and rolled along the steps below, and everyone could see it as black blades continued to stab out from the walls on either side.

But after the meteor hammer bounced down, the blades retracted into the wall, and when I looked at the wall, it was still only a pothole, but there were no obvious holes.

Everyone was so shocked by the strange mechanism that they looked at each other again.

After a long time, Wei Hua came out like a moan: "No wonder...... Brother Tie said that Wang Jiutang doesn't look like a human, and he really doesn't look like a human! No one can set up such a powerful mechanism even now, right?"

"Yes!" Ouyang Qi sighed loudly, "Otherwise, how dare Wang Jiutang openly leave a map in the world, deliberately challenging generations of inverted fighters?"

"So what should we do now?" asked Chen Baitong.

"I can only ask the Qi Gang Master to use the meteor hammer to try the steps layer by layer, I think Wang Jiutang will definitely leave a few layers of solid steps that can be walked, otherwise no one will be able to see the stranger mechanism behind him!" Ouyang Qi said.

Qi Mingyuan nodded, and then started from the first step and hit them one by one with a meteor hammer.

Sure enough, there was no movement on the first floor of steps, there was no movement on the second floor of steps, on the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth floors, there were sharp blades piercing out of the walls and retracting from the walls on the four consecutive floors, and there was no movement on the two floors of the seventh and eighth floors.

But the passage was more than ten meters down, and the chain length of the Meteor Hammer was not enough, and it was too far away to count the steps down.

Therefore, Qi Mingyuan gritted his teeth, crossed the third to sixth stone steps, and landed steadily on the seventh and eighth stone steps.

Fortunately, when he settled on the seventh and eighth stone steps, there were no sharp weapons on either side of the wall.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Bai Yang glanced back at his face and saw that the silent woman in black actually took out a pen and paper, probably noting down which steps could be stepped on, so as not to try such steps one by one when they exited.

Bai Yang admired the carefulness of the woman in black, and when he looked at Tie Niu, he was also looking at the woman in black.

Bai Yang knew that Tie Niu was already suspicious of this woman in his heart, so he didn't say much at the time, but only reminded Tie Niu: "Lao Hei, I'll go down first, you concentrate on it!"

He did not let the Iron Bull "be careful", but let the Iron Bull "concentrate". However, at this tense moment, no one else heard it, including Tie Niu, who only casually agreed.

However, the Red Gate Lord turned his eyes and stared at Poplar meaningfully.

Qi Mingyuan had already descended to more than a dozen floors, Bai Yang didn't dare to be distracted anymore, seeing that the others were still hesitating, he stepped lightly and carefully landed on the seventh and eighth floors of the stairs.

The others followed closely behind Poplar, one after the other, and no one dared to take a single step.

But not all the stairs were wide, the widest was more than a foot, and the narrowest was less than ten centimeters, barely enough for one heel to step on.

This is a test of patience, carefulness, and dexterity.

Poplar was originally very worried about Tie Niu, not because he was not smart enough, but because he was born a horse.

didn't expect that Tie Niu hadn't had an accident yet, but Chen Baitong had an accident first.

Chen Baitong's martial arts are also well-known in the inverted fighting world, and it is said that he has never met an opponent in the northern Liaobei region with a big sword.

However, his body is strong, and his flexibility is inevitably insufficient.

However, the stone steps that were only big enough for one heel were separated by five or six stone steps that could not be stepped on. In other words, anyone who wants to go directly over this narrow stone staircase to the next layer of solid stone steps will not be able to gain a firm foothold with the downward momentum.

In addition, the narrow stone steps can only be stepped on with the heels, or turned around and stepped horizontally, if you want to step on the narrow stone steps with your toes, it is easy to do so, but the heels will touch the stone steps above, then it will inevitably trigger the mechanism.

With such a strong body as Chen Baitong, it was difficult to stand firm on the stone steps with just one heel, so he also wanted to turn his body and step on the narrow stone steps like Ouyang Qi and Poplar in front of him.

But no one knew what was wrong, and at the same time that Chen Baitong landed on one foot, the sharp weapons in the walls on both sides suddenly appeared and stabbed into his body.

And after a stab, the sharp weapon retracted back into the wall, Chen Baitong lost his support, and his strong body immediately fell crookedly, hitting Ouyang Qi in front of him.

Ouyang Qi let out an exclamation and fell, and with Chen Baitong, he went down the stairs and crashed into the poplar in front of him.

The iron bull and the others above screamed in unison, and Bai Yang knew that it was not good, so he immediately leaned up with his feet.

This one was more than a meter long, and his head hit the top of the passage.

Poplar stretched out his hands and supported the left and right walls.

Fortunately, there was no hidden weapon in the top wall, but as Ouyang Qi and Chen Baitong rolled under his feet, black sharp weapons continued to stab out between his legs.

Poplar's legs swayed, dodging three sharp weapons. But the sharp weapon stabbed out too quickly, and there was no sound and no signs, and Poplar felt a pain in his right leg, and he was still scratched.

Qi Ming, who was further down, was unavoidable, but fortunately he was not far from the top of the passage, so he had to jump down with all his strength and landed on the platform at the top of the passage.

Fortunately, there is no mechanism set up on the head platform. Before Qi Mingyuan could settle down, Chen Baitong and Ouyang Qi had already fallen down the stone steps to his feet.

Poplar let go of his hands and stood firmly on the stone steps he had stood on.

But after this confusion, he could no longer know where the next stone step was that he could step on, and he saw that it was still more than three meters away from the top of the passage, and it would be impossible for others to cross it in one step without help.

But Poplar is no longer an ordinary person, and he must have jumped farther down than he did flat.

So Poplar took a breath of luck and shouted, "Let the master of Qi help!"

Suddenly, with the strength of his feet, he suddenly stepped forward.

Except for Tie Niu, no one else expected that Bai Yang would directly make such a reckless move, let alone that Bai Yang's sturdy body would sweep more than three meters away out of thin air and land on the top of the passage below.

Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, and they didn't know how capable this young boy was.

Bai Yang hurriedly squatted down and went to see Chen Baitong and Ouyang Qi lying in a pool of blood.

Chen Baitong didn't know how many blood holes he had been stabbed, and he was already dead of anger at this time.

Ouyang Qi didn't seem to have swallowed a breath yet.

And Ouyang Qi's importance, which Chen Baitong couldn't compare at all, so Bai Yang ignored Qi Mingyuan, who was stunned, hugged Ouyang Qi with both hands, and called again and again: "Senior! senior!"

The corners of Ouyang Qi's mouth were bleeding, but he opened his eyes hard, looked at Bai Yang, and then looked at Qi Mingyuan, who was squatting down.
