Seeing this, before I could react, I saw the iron plate shrink violently towards the stone wall, and the whole thing was retracted, I secretly screamed in my heart that something was not good, it must have hit some mechanism, and I quickly wanted to retreat, but before I could gain a firm foothold, suddenly the ground began to tremble, and then the whole ground began to become inclined downward, and the original messy gravel on the ground also slid downward.

In the panic, I only felt that my feet were unstable, and the whole person fell heavily to the ground, and also slid downward, until it slid down for five or six meters, and a fault appeared on the ground.

I yelled, "Be careful! It's a cliff! ”

Then I fell, in this case, my instinctive reaction can only be to hold my head with my hands, my body curled up, I don't know how deep it is, if there is really a height of more than ten meters, I am afraid that this fall will not be light.

As I fell, I only heard a very familiar sound, clicking, and in a hurry, I don't know whose flashlight it was, the light swept in front of me, and I took advantage of this faint light to catch a glimpse of a dozen arm-thick chains, which were connected to a huge gear, slowly turning, and this familiar sound was produced by the friction of the iron chains.

Just when I wanted to look at it twice, I suddenly felt a sharp pain all over my body, and the whole person had already fallen to the ground, raising a puff of dust, but fortunately, the height of the cliff of this fault layer was not too high, and it was just a pain when I fell down, and I didn't suffer much damage except for rubbing some skin.

I hurriedly got up from the ground, raised the flashlight and shone it towards the place where I had just found the iron chains, only to see that the iron chains were hidden in the depths of the cave wall, and they were slowly turning at this time, and the sound kept coming out.

As the chain turned, the ground above my head became more and more inclined, I looked carefully, and saw that there was a very huge cylinder in the middle of the ground, and as the chain rotated, the column also rotated, and as soon as the cylinder turned, the ground began to tilt, and the amplitude became larger and larger, if it kept turning, I am afraid that the ground we were standing on just now would turn over directly at 360 degrees.

"Lao Bai, are you okay?" Huzi stood on it and shouted down.

"It's okay, you guys hurry down, this floor above is not safe, I'm afraid it's going to be turned over soon!"

I reminded them, and the Seventh Master and Huzi quickly prepared the climbing rope and began to descend, and by the time they reached the ground, I had already observed the entire area.

It was a small platform, suspended on three sides, and it was impossible to find out how deep it was, and the four of us standing here seemed a little cramped.

"Damn, the scale of this machine is too big!" Huzi held up the flashlight, looked at the ground we had fallen down just now, and exclaimed.

"There's a stone cave over there, let's go and have a look first." With that, I walked towards the platform near the stone wall, where there was a square stone cave one meter wide, and I didn't know where it led or what it was for, but we were in the only way we could go.

"Don't go over, there must be a mechanism!" Wang Chuyi dared to rush over to stop me, and then said, "The builder of this ancient tomb, since he can make such a big project, it must be considered that there is nothing missing, we can jump on this platform to save our lives, and the entrance of the cave will naturally not let us escape into it so easily." ”

Wang Chuyi's words are good, since we can use the mechanism to force us here, the entrance of the cave is definitely not a good stubble, and the mechanism of the dark crossbow is naturally indispensable, but now there is no other way to find, if you don't drill into this stone cave, then you can only use the existing equipment rope to rappel down from this platform.

I took the glow stick out of my backpack and screwed it up, and threw it under the platform, only to see that the glow stick was getting smaller and smaller, and the reddest of it was a small spot of light and disappeared.

Seeing this, Wang Chuyi and I both gasped, the space under this platform was so deep that even if we took all our climbing ropes, we would never be able to reach the bottom, so we could only find a way from the stone cave entrance for now.

At this time, Huzi walked towards the entrance of the cave, first shining a flashlight inside, then turned around and said, "I'll go!" You guys are waiting for me here! As he spoke, he began to crawl towards the cave.

By the time Wang Chuyi and I rushed over to stop him, his whole body had already crawled in, and the speed was very fast, I stood at the entrance of the cave and looked in, and saw that his flashlight went down rapidly, and it darkened as soon as it reached the bottom.

At this time, I was nervous and didn't dare to speak, my back was full of cold sweat, and I waited for five or six minutes before the flashlight below lit up again and flashed twice, which was a safety signal given to me by Huzi.

I took a deep breath and shook off the gear bag that Tiger had unloaded on the ground, then carefully poked my head into the hole and tried to get my body inside.

Due to the injury to my leg, my movement was somewhat hindered, and it was a little difficult to get up, so I finally went down to the bottom of the hole, and then I found that the space here was very cramped, and I couldn't even stand up, and I had to touch my head while sitting.

Seeing this situation, my first reaction was to worry about Huzi, he was big, and in such a narrow space, he must be much sadder than me.

"Huzi? Huzi, how are you? ”

I saw Huzi's flashlight swaying not far in front of me, and then he said, "I'm fine, this is too damn short, Lao Tzu can only lie on the ground and crawl forward, and I don't know who designed the tomb, how can it be so low." ”

I heard Huzi say that it was okay, my heart was much more relieved, and I also lay on the ground, crawling forward, about two minutes later, I had already converged with Huzi, looked up, only to see that my eyes were full of iron chains, gears and other mechanisms, the structure is very complicated, it has reached the point that I can't describe, at a glance, I know that this must be the control hub of the entire tomb, all the operating organs are here.

Seeing this, I can't help but feel happy, as long as I can study the mechanism hub here, then the rest of the matter will be easy to handle.

So I hurriedly called the seventh master to come over, and when he crawled beside me, he saw the stone room full of iron chain mechanisms, and he was also stunned, and exclaimed, "My God, this project is really huge, how can there be this thing in an ordinary ancient tomb!" ”

When I used the flashlight to shine forward, I saw a familiar iron plate was constantly rotating, the bearing of the iron plate has many iron teeth, which can be opened by the rotation of the iron plate, and there are countless iron rings around it, and the iron rings are connected to the intricate iron chains, which are connected to the side of these stone chambers and I don't know where to go.

"Seventh Master, that iron plate! It's the blood-sucking iron plate we just saw! "I saw it really, and hurriedly reminded that it turned out that we inadvertently poured water on the iron plate just now, which activated the entire mechanism hub, and this iron plate is obviously the core of all mechanisms, and only the continuous rotation of this iron plate can ensure the normal operation of the entire tomb mechanism.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but wonder why such a huge mechanism was not activated in the first place? On the contrary, after we came in, we doused it with water before activating it, so it stands to reason that it should have been activated when we entered the tomb?

After thinking about it, I can't think of a reason, so I can only tell the seventh master this question.

The seventh master looked at the iron plate, frowned and thought for a while, and then slowly said, "Bai Yu, you guessed well, the general tomb should be activated at the moment of opening the tomb door, activate all the traps, like this after coming in, it was inadvertently activated by the mechanism, I also saw it for the first time, if my guess is right, this mechanism should have been activated, due to the age, the blood on it has long dried up, so it will be invalid, our unintentional move, It actually made the mechanism of hundreds of years ago turn again. ”

The iron plate in the distance is still rotating, and the surrounding iron teeth are also constantly changing, it is predictable that the number of rings rotating the iron plate is different, and the iron chain hooked by the open iron teeth is also different, so the iron chain pulled by it must be different, as for what kind of mechanism will be activated, it is unknown.

At this time, the seventh master pointed to a horizontal square stone bar in front of him, and motioned for us to climb over and take a look.

Once we were on top of the stone bar, the low space suddenly became taller, and we were able to stand up straight.

Raise the flashlight, towards the bottom of the stone, only to see a water wheel like something below, plugged in a wellhead at the bottom, the water flow in the wellhead is turbulent, as if it is a water vein in the rock, the rotating water wheel is driven to the bearing through the gear and chain, so the iron disc can rotate itself over the years.

"It seems that the well is the power system of the entire mechanism, as long as we destroy the water wheel in the well, the mechanism will stop working!" Huzi looked at the well and said.

I took a closer look, the well is at least fifteen meters high from where we are now, if you want to go down, you must use a climbing rope, and what worries me the most is that the four sides of the well, all about 30 centimeters of square bricks, neatly paved with all the space below, with my experience inference, that every brick, must be connected to the mechanism, the closer to the core of the mechanism, the more ingenious the design of the mechanism, the higher the danger, if you go down defenselessly, I am afraid that your feet just hit the ground, I was hit by a dark arrow.

At this moment, suddenly a black shadow burst out, and before I could see what it was, the black shadow swept past Huzi's side, and the speed was extremely fast, only to hear Huzi snort, and the whole person staggered back, almost falling off the stone.

I hurriedly stepped forward to hold Huzi up, and after stabilizing my body, Huzi bared his teeth and said, "Damn, what's it!?" As he spoke, he raised his left arm and shone it with a flashlight, only to see three bloody gouts on his arm, dripping blood.
