Chapter 9: The Cave Trap (3)

Zheng Xiaoming saw Lao He tilting his ears and listening carefully to the movements in the cave, not like a joke. He thought, this old guy has a little archaeological experience, and learning from the master is also what our younger generation should do. Otherwise, I'll listen carefully. So, too, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

At first, I didn't hear any movement, but after a while, I suddenly heard a slight "creaking" sound from the top of the cave.

At this time, Zhan Monkey waved his hand at Zheng Xiaoming and said, "Don't listen to this old guy's nonsense here, we will die in a while, and we are still playing games like children here, what does it mean!" ”

Zheng Xiaoming shook his head at Zhan Monkey and whispered, "There's really a movement, you hurry up and come over and listen." ”

When Zhan Monkey heard this, he was stunned, and quickly jumped forward on one leg, supported the ground with his good leg, and pointed his injured leg on tiptoe, leaning his shoulder on the wall of the tomb, tilting his head to sound.

"Squeak-squeak-"

Several clear and piercing sounds came from the top of the cave, Zheng Xiaoming hurriedly shone a flashlight on it, only to see that the previously flat top suddenly cracked more than a dozen small openings, and inside each small opening, there was a black thing sticking out.

Zheng Xiaoming muttered in his heart, I damn it, Lao He is really right, there must be something wrong with the things that appear on it, I can see it, this cave is indeed a bit evil, no wonder he pulled my clothes hard just now and didn't let me in.

Zheng Xiaoming was muttering, and suddenly a lot of things shot out of those black things, he opened his eyes wide, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a continuous number of arrows. At this moment, with a constant "whoosh" sound, the entire cave was filled with arrows shot. When the arrow hits the stone slab on the ground, it is accompanied by a "clanging" sound, sending out bursts of sparks, and the sparks are bouncing everywhere like fireworks. It may be that the force of the shot is too great, and sometimes you can hear the "click" sound of the arrow shaft breaking.

Zheng Xiaoming was stunned by the current scene all of a sudden, he stood in the tomb in a daze, with a big mouth, and did not say a word. He thought that if I had approached this cave just now, I would have been shot as a hedgehog by now. Maybe that arrow has been stuck in my heart, and in my lungs, and in my kidneys...... Thinking of this, he felt a little scared, and he had a numb and cold feeling all over his body, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Zhan Monkey was frightened at this time, leaning tightly against the wall of the tomb, his eyes widened, and he never blinked, his supported leg kept shaking, his lips were trembling, and beads of sweat were dripping down his cheeks. He kept muttering with his mouth half-open: "So powerful, so powerful......"

At this time, Lao He came up again, raised his head, twisted his neck slightly, half-squinted his eyes, and looked at Zheng Xiaoming and Zhan Monkey with what kind of arrogant eyes. Heart, just now you two kept mocking me, now you know how good I am.

At this time, the arrows in the cave continued to shoot for nearly half a minute, and then suddenly stopped. Zheng Xiaoming stayed for more than ten seconds, and gradually came to his senses. He thought to himself that he was really young, and he really had to learn a lot of knowledge in the future, let alone act recklessly. It was so thrilling just now! His little life almost ended like this! He was very grateful to Lao He from the bottom of his heart, but he still wanted to save face, and after he came to his senses, he still said in a nonchalant tone: "Lao He, you really have something in your stomach!" ”

Lao He smiled and said, "Little guy, learn hard!" ”

"Look at your pigtails, I don't know how tall I am!" Although Zhan Monkey's whole body was still trembling, he was also a soft-hearted and hard-mouthed person, and he said to Lao He angrily.

Zheng Xiaoming took a deep breath, calmed his mood, and said, "Now we can move forward, let's go?" With that, he walked into the cave.

This time, Lao He didn't stop him, he came to Zhan Monkey's side and said, "Don't look at you laughing at me just now, now I still have to carry you away." After speaking, he took one of Zhan Monkey's arms and slowly followed behind Zheng Xiaoming.

Zhan Monkey's face was flushed, and he looked embarrassed, and when he heard Lao He say this, he came over to walk by himself, and he felt very awkward in his heart.

Zheng Xiaoming came to the edge of the cave, shone the ground with a flashlight, and found that it was covered with a layer of arrows, and he roughly estimated that there must be at least five or six hundred arrows. He lowered his head, picked up a complete arrow and observed it carefully, and found that these arrows were about thirty centimeters long, each one was the thickness of a finger, although the arrow had gone through many years, it still did not rust, and under the illumination of the flashlight, it still emitted a dazzling light. The tail of the arrow is tied with a strand of hair, which adjusts the balance of the arrow after it is fired. The body of the arrow is made of wood that resists decay, and when broken by hand, it has a certain elasticity. Such a good arrow should be of use in the future, so he pinned it to his waist.

Zheng Xiaoming now knows that the function of this empty cave is to kill people who enter the tomb. He felt that although this mechanism was vicious, it contained the profound wisdom of the ancients. First of all, it is designed to be relatively large and can accommodate multiple people coming in. In addition, he will delay the shooting of arrows for a certain amount of time, so that after people enter it, even if the mechanism is touched, he will not shoot arrows at that time, so that those who come in have time to enter the cave. Finally, his trigger is designed to be on the ground, in the middle of the cavern, which increases the chance of triggering the trap, and if someone steps on it, it will trigger an arrow from above. The ancients were so smart! He couldn't help but secretly admire the wisdom of the ancients.

Zheng Xiaoming used his feet to separate the arrows left and right on the stone slab, and slowly walked to the wall where the stone cracks were straight. He looked closely at the crevices, which seemed to be a little larger than the other stone crevices. Since there is a difference, there must be some Tao in it. I must find some clues, only then can I hope to get out alive.

He casually took out the dagger, aimed it at the crack in the stone and inserted it, and when he inserted it more than ten centimeters, he suddenly felt as if he had touched something hard. He steadied the dagger, then clenched his fist and lightly hammered the handle of the dagger, feeling the dagger bounce slightly, a reaction of the dagger to something hard.

Am I wrong in my judgment that there is no other tomb in it, but a solid stone wall? Damn, if that's the case, we're doomed! Completely hopeless! Thinking of this, his face suddenly became very pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down his forehead at once.

Lao He saw Zheng Xiaoming's reaction, and said in the back: "Xiao Zheng, what's wrong with your face, did you see something in the crack of the stone, did it frighten you?" ”

Zheng Xiaoming sighed and said hesitantly: "It's okay, it's okay, you wait, let me take a closer look." ”
