Chapter 1040: Trapped
Obviously, this is not the end either. After Qin Hongmian finished speaking, he moved his eyes to the entrance not far away. At this time, Shi Yuan also believed what Qin Hongmian said beforeβthere were a total of five floors here.
"Okay!" Shi Yuan nodded, anyway, he had already come here, and he had already peed his pants, so there was no reason to go back.
Moving forward again, because there was nothing to fear compared to the layer of the Dry Corpse Array on the previous layer, Shi Yuan was also much more relaxed, "Cotton Girl Girl, according to what you said...... Did these villagers of Xiancao Village go directly to the river from here before? β
"I don't know. That's just my speculation, but since there are so many boats here, I think it should be. Qin Hongmian said without looking back.
"But it's still a long way from the river, isn't it?" Shi Yuan was still a little reluctant to believe it.
"Far away? Actually, it's not that far. The location we are in is the closest peak to the river in the whole Wangbei Mountain, and if we open a passage directly from the middle of this mountain, we can get to the river. Qin Hongmian opened his mouth to explain.
"Okay!" Faced with Qin Hongmian's explanation, Shi Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: Indeed, if you talk about the straight-line distance, this is indeed not far from the river, but if these villagers of Xiancao Village dig a passage here with their flesh and blood, this is really a bit far! Maybe I still underestimated the tenacity of this ancient man......
The stairs leading to the fifth floor were particularly long compared to before, and just when Shi Yuan was a little sleepy when he was a little sleepy, Qin Hongmian in front of him stopped. But it's not that she wants to stop, it's because the road is blocked!
Qin Hongmian was facing a huge stone block in front of him, although it did not completely block the entire passage, but it was still a little difficult to pass.
"It seems that this path has been deliberately blocked." After checking around, Qin Hongmian turned to Shi Yuan and said.
Of course, Shi Yuan also saw it, because the appearance of this stone was too abrupt, "Is there a road behind this?" β
"There should be." Qin Hongmian took the torch in his hand and glanced back through the gap, and replied, "But how should we get there?" β
This is indeed a problem, especially in this narrow passage, and it seems that the only way to encounter such a boulder is to dig it open......
"Why don't we go back first? Wait until the plague is settled, and then come back here? Shi Yuan was looking down to think of a way, and Qin Hongmian turned his head and said.
"Okay!" Faced with this kind of hard problem, Shi Yuan also had no good way, so he nodded and agreed, "Cotton Girl do you think there will be other entrances in this cave?" β
"General Shi, do you want to bring people in here?" Thinking of what Shi Yuan said before, Qin Hongmian asked.
"That's right. I always felt that this place had an entrance to the mountains...... Why don't we go out and find out? β
"Alright! But the most important thing for now is to deal with the panic caused by the plague. Let's have the herbs out first. Compared with Shi Yuan, she was actually more curious about the layout of the entire cave.
So the two of them turned around and walked out, this time it was Shi Yuan walking in front, and Qin Hongmian followed behind him. Descending the long stone staircase, both of them were thinking about their own thoughts and did not speak again, which made the atmosphere seem a little ghostly.
Originally, I wanted to solve the problem of the plague, but now I found such a strange place, and I even scared myself to pee my pants...... This had to make Shi Yuan think more.
Now there are no more than two biggest mysteries in the clan hall of the entire Fairy Grass Village: one of them is the mysterious stone bone grass before. This thing is really a bit evil, and it actually relies on corpse bones to grow it...... This reminded Shi Yuan of the ghost mother-in-law he had met in the underground garden. The second is Qin Hongmian's analysis of the entire clan. If this is really a passage for Xiancao Village to transport to the outside world, there is no need to arrange these formations at all. At the same time, that is...... This formation was only arranged after the villagers of Xiancao Village disappeared.
I don't know if it's deliberate or intuitive, Shi Yuan always feels that this fairy grass village may have something to do with Bishui Zhai. This is mainly due to the performance of Huashang after he summoned Huashang before. Although he didn't know about Hua Shang's ability, after he said the relevant situation, Hua Sheng firmly said that there was an "attitude" of herbs on this mountain...... She should be familiar with this place!
Of course, this is just Shi Yuan's imagination. What exactly is going on will not be known until Qin Hongmian figures out the formation in this clan hall.
Compared to Shi Yuan, Qin Hongmian was simply interested in the formation arranged by the entire clan hall, as well as the stone bone grass itself. At this time, she was constantly thinking about what she had seen and heard along the way, and wanted to connect the arrangements in the entire clan hall......
"Where is the ......" The silent atmosphere in the passage was suddenly broken by Shi Yuan's voice, and their way back was actually blocked!
It looked like it was supposed to be the entrance to this passage, but a stone door appeared out of thin air.
Uncanny! It's so weird! There are only two of them in this clan hall, how did this stone gate be closed? Shi Yuan's heart couldn't help but start to fur again!
But fortunately, at this time, Qin Hongmian behind him stood up in time, and after walking to the stone gate and checking it, he turned to Shi Yuan and explained, "We seem to have touched some mechanism before......
Whew~ Regardless of the truth or falsehood of what Qin Hongmian said, Shi Yuan was still relieved after hearing it. This finally ruled out the supernatural thoughts in his heart. But then he realized something even more serious: they were trapped here!
"We're stuck here!" And Qin Hongmian also "made up for it" at this time.
"Is there a mechanism to open the door?" Shi Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then asked nervously.
"This place should be deliberately set up like this. I reckon...... By the time we entered the portal, the mechanism had already been activated. It's clear that the people at the design agency are trying to trap the people who come in. Qin Hongmian fumbled and replied, "So this should be a dead place!" β
"Then it's over, I haven't eaten yet...... Shi Yuan touched his stomach and said with some frustration: "It seems that now we can only wait for rescue." β
"General Shi, you'd better not be too optimistic." Qin Hongmian looked at the relaxed Shi Yuan, and complained slightly: "Even if they come in to look for us, how can we let them know that we are trapped here?" Judging by the size of the steps, this stone gate is three feet thick, you think...... Can they hear us? Moreover, if they rashly broke in and touched the formation, it would be even more ferocious and unlucky! β
