Chapter Twenty-Six: The Trap Wall
The frightened Guanglong kicked away the hand that was grabbing him with his foot, and the hand was weak, not like a living thing.
Guanglong stopped everyone and saw a person lying in the mist at his feet, breathless. He couldn't help scratching his head, the depth of the tower was not large, if there was a dead body, it was clear at a glance, how could it be conjured out of thin air. What the hell.
Not only one corpse, but the Shura team found six others one after another. Being able to feel the cold body means that it is not caused by illusion. How did they die?
Uncle Yang looked up at the sky: "They are challengers who climbed the tower, and they fell from above and fell to their deaths." ”
The fat man was horrified: "But there was no body at all when I first came." ”
Uncle Yang said: "Indeed, there are corpses after the smoke appears. Perhaps the organizers deliberately frightened us and retreated. ”
Guanglong analyzed that the body did not die recently, and there was no sound of falling, so it was very likely that it was moved after the fog. Allure Snow still has a helper? He looked around uneasily.
Uncle Yang thought carefully: "Since it is dropped from above, it means that there is an upward mechanism." The corpses are not in danger, leave them alone. ”
Everyone followed Uncle Yang and quickly stuck to the root of the wall. The traces of the mechanism are obvious.
According to their observations, the wooden walls of the Netherworld were all mortise and tenon structures, and the iron walls of Shura were made of irregular geometric shapes. And there are protruding pedals at the junction of the two, like upward ladders, with a total of two straight to the sky.
Guanglong said bluntly: "The pedal is the mechanism, once you step on it, the mortise and tenon joints and iron plate mechanisms on both sides will be activated." He didn't think it would be easy, maybe there was a ladder that didn't work.
But there was no other way up. Uncle Yang smiled: "We have to take the initiative to open the mechanism, otherwise we can only stop." "That's right, the retreat is blocked.
Uncle Yang ordered the fat man and the donkey face to climb the ladder separately, and the others observed the surrounding organs at any time. The Shura soldiers trusted their superiors and obeyed orders, and they all had the consciousness of death. If Guanglong was to go up the ladder, he would have the guts.
The fat man joked to the donkey face: "Brother, this may be our last mission, see whose luck is okay." ”
The donkey's face said angrily: "Shut your crow's mouth, Lao Tzu will not be long." ”
The ridicule between brothers is likely to be a farewell.
The fat man stepped on the bottom pedal, not a mechanism, he turned around and said, "Hey, let's compete to see who climbs high." ”
Donkey waved his hand and said, "Accompany me at any time." ”
Uncle Yang said seriously: "Don't mess around, you have to open all the mechanisms." Not everyone has what you can do. He didn't know what Guanglong was capable of.
Don't look at the fat man's flamboyant tongue, in fact, he is agile, he stepped on a few steps steadily, and there was no trigger mechanism. He then pretended to wipe the cold sweat and said, "I was scared to death, I thought I was going to reach the sky in one step." ”
Everyone laughed and knew he was joking again.
The donkey face on the other side is the same, it has climbed almost ten levels, and the mechanism has not been activated.
The soldiers began to question how the ladder was normal and that there was no mechanism at all, otherwise how would so many trespassers crack it. As for the dead, they should have fallen from above.
Only Guanglong and Uncle Yang maintain restraint, and the easier it is, the less optimistic they are.
The donkey's face easily climbed up to the first step, and his face changed immediately, and it was too late to react. The pedal was movable, and was pulled down by the donkey's face.
"Watch out for the trap!" Donkey Face shouted. He clung to the wall, but nothing happened.
At the same time, Uncle Yang kicked away the soldiers around him and fell backwards. The horizontal log on the wall popped out violently, whistling past Uncle Yang's side. After all, the Shura soldiers are well-trained, and they all dodge in the crisis.
The crossbar cuts off in mid-air, followed by a booming mechanism, and the crossbar on top flips out, forming a rotating angle.
Guanglong suddenly realized: "It's an upward staircase!" He jumped to the crossbar and climbed up. Who knows that the crosswood is active, starting from the bottom and quickly recovering, and hovering up one at a time. Guanglong couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the exercise at all, and fell down halfway.
At first, the crossbar pops out again, and then it spins out one after another, which is simply a rhythmic DNA model.
Uncle Yang has a master who is as light as a swallow in the team, known as a monkey, and he turned over on the horizontal log with his head on his heels, and climbed several meters in an instant. However, the good times did not last long, and the combination of crosswoods like Domino collapsed at a faster speed, and the monkey did not land, kicking the wall and rolling down in embarrassment.
Seeing that the horizontal wooden ladder with regular movement trajectory is not even an agile monkey, Uncle Yang pondered: "Whoever goes up can't go up as fast as the horizontal wood." My guess is that the crosswood has a gravity-sensing device that adjusts its movement according to its weight and speed. ”
The monkey concluded: "Yes, I am fast enough, but it is faster than me, how can it be." ”
Guanglong was secretly impressed by the wisdom of his predecessors, which was not just an ordinary single and dull mechanism, but an organism that gave life the ability to change.
There is also a new situation on the fat man's side, and he has opened the mechanism of the iron wall. He shouted: "Don't get entangled, it's still my fat man's luck, I want to go up to the tower, fast into my side of the machine." ”
The geometric pattern on the iron wall is indeed a secret door. The circle turns open, revealing a deep, mysterious void. Not far away, the square opened, shining with starlight. There are also triangles in the corners, from small to large.
Guanglong did not dare to act rashly, and observed the irregularity of the geometric figures, opening and closing, without a clue. Depending on the mechanical movement, the inside should be connected by gears, and if the interior space is large enough, then the hidden staircase may be inside. It's just that there should be only one correct door, and there should be no communication inside.
To make an appropriate analogy, the horizontal wooden ladder has the mysterious essence of a small bridge and flowing water; Geometric gates, however, are the cold machinery of the Iron Age.
Everyone looks at the frequency of opening and closing of the geometric door is different, and they are overwhelmed, which is like the main door.
The monkey volunteered to see the circular hole wide open, just enough to skip over it. As soon as he ran away, Uncle Yang stopped him and threw the dead body out of the ground with his hand.
The dead body is impartial and hits the bull's-eye. At this time, the round hole closed with lightning speed, directly cutting off the corpse, and staining the iron wall with blood. The geometry of steel, the incision is like a sharp blade, and the flesh is effortless.
The corpse was cut into two sections, just as Uncle Yang had expected: "The geometric door is similar to the horizontal wooden ladder mechanism, both of which change speed through external stimuli. Geometric doors are more dangerous, and knives are deadly. ”
Shura soldiers often call themselves death squads, but in the face of worthless life and death, who will think about it, and it is unknown whether there is a secret passage inside the wall. They all pinned their hopes on Uncle Yang.
Uncle Yang is in a dilemma, it is not easy to crack any mechanism, and it is impossible for humans to have a speed beyond what is in front of them. How the previous challengers passed.
Uncle Yang thought for a moment and said, "There must be other mechanisms, continue to open them all up." ”
The fat man and the donkey-faced can't help the chaos at the bottom, so they can only look for mechanisms. Further up, almost every pedal is a trap, and every attempt is a chain reaction.
Everyone waited with bated breath, only to see that the horizontal wooden ladder and the geometric door were retracted at the same time, and the normal wall was restored. Is it a closed organ? Guanglong and Uncle Yang looked at each other.
Guanglong felt melancholy in his heart, and when he turned around, he felt that his stomach had been violently impacted, and he vomited bitterness. He flew up in the air, but saw a wooden stake popping out of the wall.
