The Shadow of Xiangxi Chapter 34: Cave Horror (4)

I looked at Long Quan's figure and was thinking, when Qiu Yan didn't know when he walked to us.

"Zimu, I'm sorry, I was really too impulsive just now, I only thought about your safety, but I forgot about the others, you are right, everyone is for me in this operation, although everyone is doing things with money, but I am not qualified to let everyone work for me." Qiu Yan said very generously.

In fact, after that fire, my anger had subsided, and at this time I was thinking about how to end it, so Qiu Yan's apology gave me a good step.

"Qiu Yan, I also apologize to you, what I said just now is a bit heavy, I know that you are for our good, and you can risk your life to save us, which shows that you are not the kind of person who doesn't care about the good or bad of others, and everyone is so willing to take risks for you, it also shows that you are not just the boss in everyone's hearts. But we said in advance, all actions are under my command, and what you just did just now is not equivalent to not believing me?! ”

Qiu Yan smiled:

"I know, I shouldn't disobey you, in this way, I promise not to be impulsive in the future, and I promise to listen to you in the future, okay!"

Qiu Yan smiled, and I laughed too:

"Hehe, you can't listen to all of me, I'm just the leader, just listen to me at the critical moment, and you still have the final say."

At this time, Qiu Yan suddenly stood up, she walked back and forth on the edge of the square with her hands on her hips a few times, and then looked at the cave walls on both sides of the square.

"Zimu, it's not a way to go on like this, you let us not take risks, I don't want the two of you to continue to take risks, the first few rounds of arrow formations were your luck, but I don't know if there is such good luck going on, I don't want to lose your two generals before I start." Qiu Yan turned around and said.

I got up and asked:

"Do you have an idea?"

Qiu Yan shook her head and said:

"An idea, to be exact! You think, any mechanism needs power, not only power, like this arrow array, the trigger mechanism and the place where the bow and arrow are issued are so far away, there must be some kind of transmission mechanism in between, if we destroy the power or transmission mechanism of the mechanism, then the arrow array will not be able to operate? ”

When I heard this, I was immediately deflated.

What Qiu Yan said does make sense, and I thought of this before, if we can easily find out the power mechanism and transmission mechanism, then of course it is the safest to do so.

But the difficulty is that when we go to find these institutions, it is inevitable that the mechanism will not be triggered, and the devil knows if these people only laid this kind of mechanism in the first place?

"No, Qiu Yan, I don't know how many kinds of mechanisms there are, what if we trigger other mechanisms when we are looking for these institutions? In my opinion, we are still stupid people using stupid methods, you can rest assured, Long Quan and I have adapted to these arrow arrays, as long as there is no other interference, these broken bamboo arrows will not hurt us! ”

Long Quan also came over at this time and said:

"Mr. Qiu, Brother He is right, for the two of us, the method just now is already a shortcut, we don't need to take the shortcut, and find another road that does not know the danger!"

Qiu Yan dragged her forehead and thought for a long time, and finally she looked up and smiled, and then ran to the luggage pile.

I saw Qiu Yan empty all the contents of those backpacks, and then ran back with two backpacks in one hand.

"Wait a minute, you two will put this on, the support plate in here is very hard, I think the general force is impenetrable, and also, those headlights, aren't they helmets when the lights are removed? Put them all on! ”

I thought, this is a solution, at least our critical parts are protected.

I nodded, took the backpack and threw it to Long Quan.

It didn't take long for the meal to be done, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed, Long Quan and I had dinner, so we put on the equipment Qiu Yan found early, and then set off again.

Before leaving, I glanced at Xiang Wei and saw that his eyes were blank and he was picking up rice in his mouth, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

I thought to myself that this time was over, although Qiu Yan didn't care about the past suspicions, but I completely offended Xiang Wei.

But I didn't care about it at this time, so I tightened the strap on my head and walked cautiously forward.

Long Quan and I repeated our old tricks, and leaned some distance ahead, and we were about to reach the center of the square.

But at this moment, the nasty voice came out again, and with the experience of the previous two times, this time I didn't hide, I took a deep breath, then bowed slightly, and got ready with my trekking poles.

The rain of arrows came as we expected, this time without interference, and with the "armor", we had to resist much more calmly.

We waited for the rain of arrows to pass before we continued walking, but after a few steps, my trekking poles felt again.

"Damn, you don't have to take a breath, Long Quan, pay attention!"

There was another rain of arrows, but after we resisted for a while, there was a crisp "click" next to the cave, and then the rain of arrows stopped.

Long Quan and I didn't dare to let up with each other, but we were also curious about it.

"Zimu, look at your two o'clock direction!" Qiu Yan suddenly shouted.

I looked in my direction of two o'clock, and saw a stream of water flowing down the wall of the cave over there, and above the current, I could see several pieces of wood popping out.

I finally realized that the mechanism here was powered by the river water flowing downstream, and the sound was probably due to the fact that the mechanism had fallen into disrepair and suddenly collapsed, so the wood was ejected and the water that was used as the power leaked out.

I really can't think of what the structure in the middle looks like, but when I think about it, I am relieved: our ancestors are not stupid than us, especially in carpentry, and our ancestors' attainments are not even comparable to the current machinery.

I nodded at Long Quan and motioned for him to move on, but when we got to the leak, the nearby stones cracked, and a few puffs of water erupted from the crack.

The cracked stones hadn't come down yet, but I knew it was sooner or later, so I urged Ryuquan to get out of here quickly.

Who knew that when I was in a hurry, I was a little flustered under my feet, and I actually stepped on a marked stone slab, and the stone slab was not surprising, making a sound of stone rubbing.

I instinctively jumped towards Long Quan, but as soon as I jumped into the air, I heard the sound of wood breaking, followed by the sound of stones falling along with flowing water.

I fell from the sky, and before I could stand on my feet, I was pulled backwards by the dragon, who didn't know what was going on, and even pulled me wildly regardless of whether the floor under my feet was safe or not.

I then knew why, because there was a loud "boom" behind me, and then a gust of wind swept over my shoulder, and I looked back to see that the leak had completely collapsed, and the few streams of water had now become a large waterfall.

I was stunned by the sight behind me, but the dragon behind me was still pulling me back, and at that moment, I suddenly fell under my feet and stepped on another mechanism.

I thought to myself, could there be more unfortunate than this? This is really a house leak that happened to rain overnight!

I had no choice but to turn around and prepare to fend off the incoming array of arrows.

But who knew that Long Quan and I waited for a long time, and we didn't shoot a single bow and arrow.

Long and I looked at each other, but we didn't dare to be careless, and it wasn't until more than ten minutes had passed that we relaxed.

At this time, I glanced at Qiu Yan and them, and saw that they had moved their luggage to the left side of the square, and the water flowing down from the "waterfall" was falling into the cave behind us from the place where we had put our luggage before.

I was worried that the falling stones would trigger the mechanism, but no, I continued to move forward with Long Quan, only to find that after triggering the mechanism several times, no arrow rain fell.

I analyzed that it was probably the flowing water that was used as motivation leaked out, so the other arrow formations lost power.

Long Quan smiled and said:

"Maybe someone has already triggered the mechanism here!"

I'm noncommittal, I can't try it again to prove who is right and who is wrong!

Finally, after some danger, we came to the stone gate, I waved at Qiu Yan, and Qiu Yan ran over with a few people.

"You two are too big, aren't you, don't you run back after that?" As soon as Qiu Yanren arrived, he asked breathlessly.

I shrugged my shoulders and said:

"If you run back, you have to come back again, and you can increase the risk out of thin air, so it's better to run over in one go!"

I was waiting for others to praise me, when I heard Qiu Yan's "huh".

I looked back and saw Qiu Yan staring at the stone gate in a daze at the moment.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Look at the door!" Qiu Yan pointed in front of her and said.

I glanced at the stone door, and I saw some faint notches on the stone door, which were somewhat obscured by dust, but they could probably be distinguished.

"Holy, isn't this a portrait on a mask?"

As I was talking, I saw Qiu Yan planning to step forward.

I quickly grabbed her and said:

"Don't worry, see clearly before you get on!"

Originally, I scoffed at such things as mechanisms, but in my opinion, the ancients didn't have the technology to do them, and obviously, I was slapped in the face with Long Quan, so at this time, I had to be cautious.

"Brother He, that's what I said before." Long Quan pointed to the walls on both sides of the stone gate and said.

I followed Long Quan's finger and saw a stone wall dozens of meters long, and next to the stone gate, there were two small holes on one side, and a small stone platform protruded from each small hole.

We stood at the base of the wall, and we could not see what was in the stone platforms, but we could see a small piece of string sticking out of each platform, and it was clear that the string was the wick.

"Don't worry, let's check it carefully, in case there is a mechanism!" I'm a typical snake bite now, and I'm afraid of the rope for ten years!
