Volume 3 Tomb Raider Chapter 23 Detachment
I put my trench coat back on and started looking at the top!
By this time, the sculpture had completely shattered and fallen, and now only a pitch-black stone remained on top!
There was a circle of misty light around the stones, flickering on and off!
Joan of Arc touched the stone with her hand and said, "This is the Siboras stone, and it is also the kind of stone that can be preserved for a very long time, and the rate of reflection of light from the whole body of this stone is almost 0%!"
I pushed the stone with my hand and found that it didn't move at all, as if it was embedded in it!
"I guess there's a mechanism here!"
Joan of Arc nodded in agreement, "There really should be, if I were the designer of this tomb, I would also put the mechanism to control the flow of water here!"
"Why?"
Joan of Arc groped for the stone wall above and said, "Put the trap here, and when the water is full, the water will naturally arrive here!" At that time, with a little mechanism, you can activate the drainage system and drain the water from here! ”
"What if the designers of the tomb weren't prepared to drain the water?"
"Impossible!" Joan of Arc said very firmly: "Those Americans obviously already knew about this mechanism just now, and there is only one way for them to know this mechanism, and that is that they once triggered this mechanism!" And when we came to that square, there was not a drop of water in that square! It can be seen that this mechanism must have been contacted after confirming that the tomb breaker had drowned! ”
After listening to Joan of Arc's analysis, I couldn't help but admire: "Joan of Arc, you are so smart! ”
Joan of Arc smiled and didn't say anything more.
After a while, Joan of Arc stopped her fumbling and said, "I found it!" It should be a water tank! I'll press it down and try it! ”
To be on the safe side, I hurriedly said to Joan of Arc, "Don't move, you take your hands out, and I'll pour some water into it!" ”
Joan of Arc withdrew her hand as she was told, and I took two bottles of mineral water from my backpack and poured them in!
The first bottle of water was poured smoothly, but as soon as the second bottle of water was halfway poured, I heard a click of the mechanism activating, and then the Siboras stone that was originally hanging above smashed directly into the top of the vent and sealed the vent tightly!
I looked at the squashed bottle of mineral water and my heart jumped!
Good fellow, it's a good thing that Jeanne d'Arc didn't use her hands to trigger the mechanism, otherwise her hands would have been confessed!
Joan of Arc was also scared enough, she subconsciously looked at her hands and stuck out her tongue!
The mechanism activated, and the sound of clicking was incessant, but the water level beneath us did not drop in the slightest!
Joan of Arc: "Be patient!" Under normal circumstances, the mechanism here will be activated the moment the water fills the square, and most of the people who are submerged in the water at that time are not dead, so the drainage system should not be activated so quickly! ”
I nodded in agreement, and jumped down!
Landing on the solid ice, I can't help but think of the other team members!
Did Lin Dong take his father and Gu Lao to join them? Xie Yuhan: What about them? Are there any troubles, and what do we do next? Without Lin Tianxiang's guidance, how could Joan of Arc and I find them?
Just then, Joan of Arc jumped down! After she jumped down, she took out the map that Lin Tianxiang gave us before entering the ancient tomb and studied it!
She took out a pen, wrote and drew on the map, studied it for a long time, and then pointed to a dot on the map and said, "We are in this position now."
I took a look, and there was a red word next to the dot!
There are a total of six thin lines around the dot, two black, two red, and two golden.
Jeanne d'Arc pointed to one of the black lines and said, "That's where we entered the tomb!"
I glanced back along the line Joan of Arc was pointing at, nodded, and said, "Indeed! That's where we got in! Where are the Lishui River and the pair of mountains, and there are two branches sticking out of the black line, that should be the place where we and Yuhan and the others divide their troops! ”
"Hmm!" Joan of Arc rotated the map and then pointed to one of the golden lines and said, "This line is the road Lin Dong took just now!"
Indeed, because that line is directly opposite the black line we walked over, I was more impressed!
I followed the line and saw that it did lead all the way to the very center of the map, where a small tower was!
It's just that the line was cut off by a very thick line in the middle! It doesn't look like it's all smooth sailing!
Afterwards, Joan of Arc pointed to a black line next to the golden thread and said, "This is the path that Uncle Lin originally left for himself!"
I looked all the way down the black line and found that the end of the black line intersected with another golden line!
Joan of Arc continued to point to a red line and said, "This is the passage where the Americans are hiding!"
I roughly compared the angles and nodded in the affirmative!
Joan of Arc pointed to the red line directly opposite the red line and said, "This should be the last gate that has not been opened!"
I carefully checked the map and found that if I said that the red line kept walking, although it could lead directly to the small tower, it was very far away, and the end of the red line had broken away from the kan character and extended to the range of the character position!
Finally, Joan of Arc pointed to the last golden thread and said, "I think if we can find this passage, it would be the most suitable!"
I followed the line all the way forward, and indeed, it was almost straight all the way to the periphery of the little tower in the center of the map!
I carefully compared the position of the golden line again, and then suddenly realized that the passage represented by the golden line was not far from the passage where the Yankees were!
Why didn't I see that?
I thought about everything that had just happened, and then said with great certainty: "I remember that there is no passage in that place!"
Joan of Arc smiled and said, "There is indeed no passage there, but there is a groove that is exactly the same as the place where we dodged the bullet just now!"
I nodded knowingly and said, "Then when the water recedes, we will find the right place and go in directly!"
"Hmm!"
We waited about fifteen minutes before we heard a loud bang!
Rumble!
Immediately after, we heard a commotion!
The river is starting to recede!
