Huzi and I looked back at the same time, only to see Wang Chuyi walking slowly towards us, and said, "Huzi, this is just an ordinary agate stone, even if you pry it off, it will be sold for a few hundred yuan at most, but if it triggers some mechanism, it will not be cost-effective." ”

As soon as Wang Chu finished speaking, Huzi's whole body immediately wilted, looked back at the red agate on the wall, and said, "Damn, Lao Tzu thought it was a valuable gem." ”

At this time, the Seventh Master also walked in our direction and said, "I have been checking for a week, and there are such patterns and carvings on the four walls of this tomb, this is the ......."

After seeing the diagonal upward steps, the seventh master was stunned suddenly, pointed with his finger, and said, "Have you seen it?" ”

I shook my head and said, "No, I just found out, and I haven't had time to inform you yet." ”

"Let's take a look!" As he spoke, the Seventh Master stepped up the steps first.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard a very clear sound of triggering the mechanism, and secretly screamed in my heart, and hurriedly shouted, "Seventh master, there is a mechanism, come back!" ”

I shouted out in this voice, and the seventh master reacted very quickly, and immediately began to retreat, but even so, it was still a step slower, and hundreds of crossbow arrows were fired together, two of which had already pierced the seventh master's thigh, and blood spurted out.

"I'm rubbing, this mechanism is so fierce?" Huzi exclaimed, and hurriedly took out a tourniquet from his bag and helped the seventh master bandage it.

Wang Chuyi and I went over to help.

This time, fortunately, the seventh master retreated in time, otherwise he would definitely be shot alive.

I took a closer look at the wound on the leg of the seventh master, we have encountered a lot of similar mechanisms in the ancient tomb before, most of the power of the crossbow arrow can only shoot the arrow into the human body, and cannot shoot through the human body, because the arrow of the crossbow arrow is a triangular barb, so the lethality of the shot into half is the largest, the skin and flesh must be cut to take out the arrow, otherwise you can only force the entire crossbow arrow into the body, and then pull it out.

But now this crossbow arrow has directly pierced the thigh of the seventh master, the power of this shot is the first time I have seen it, after helping the seventh master to bandage the wound, I turned around, wanting to see what the crossbow arrow looks like.

But when I looked back, I found that there was nothing behind me, and the crossbow bolts that I had shot were gone!

"Arrows, gone?" I asked hurriedly.

"Ahh The seventh master screamed.

I hurriedly turned around, only to see that the flesh around the pierced part of the seventh master's leg had turned white, and white blisters had begun to bulge at the edge of the wound.

I've seen a lot of wounds from crossbow arrows, but I've never seen anything like this, so I quickly asked, "Is it poisonous?" ”

At this time, the seventh master's whole body trembled in pain, his lips turned white, and he said, "There is no poison, this is not an ordinary crossbow arrow, it is ice, ice arrow!" ”

After the seventh master finished speaking, he slowly straightened his body, looked at the oblique upward steps, and said, "Look ahead!" ”

I looked in the direction of the seventh master's finger, and saw that in front of this step, about five or six meters away, there was a dark red, very similar to the blood stains that had dried up on the steps.

"It should have been the man from before, and it looks like he's injured here too!" Wang Chuyi analyzed.

I estimated the distance, just now when the seventh master stepped up the first step, he had already triggered such a powerful mechanism, it can be seen that the mechanism arranged on this step is so dense and powerful, that person can go five or six meters away before being injured, it can be seen that his strength is extraordinary.

But what I wanted to know most at this time was, what kind of mechanism did that person fall into? Since he was able to walk five or six meters on such a dense staircase without being injured, what kind of mechanism made it impossible for him to dodge?

At this time, the seventh master frowned, stared at the steps and looked up, and after a while, he said, "What is the place on this step?" The man must have been there before, maybe the unicorn eye was on it. ”

The Seventh Master's concerns are obviously different from mine, while I was still pondering the mechanism on this step, the Seventh Master was the most important place at the end of this step, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind to go over and have a look.

At this time, the seventh master patted Wang Chuyi's shoulder and said, "Chuyi, you have the strongest climbing ability, come and see, is it possible to climb over the walls on both sides without touching the steps?" ”

Wang Chu nodded, stepped forward and touched the walls on both sides of this staircase, and then frowned and said, "This wall is polished very smooth, and it is impossible to climb through it with ordinary climbing tools. As he spoke, Wang Chuyi put back the grappling hook that had been taken out of his backpack.

At this time, Huzi smiled, looked at Wang Chuyi and said, "I said Chuyi, don't you have that suction cup?" Hydraulic, as long as it is sucked on this wall, won't we just pass? ”

Huzi's proposal made our eyes shine, indeed, the hydraulic suction cup is the equipment at the bottom of our box, as long as it is used, it should not be difficult to pass through this wall.

But at this time, Wang Chuyi frowned and said, "There is a very fine layer of powder on the wall, if you don't wipe these powders clean, the suction cup will not be able to suck it up." ”

"Then wipe it clean." As he spoke, Huzi took out a white towel and prepared to wipe the powder off the wall.

Wang Chuyi watched Huzi walk over, and didn't stop him, just took out the hydraulic suction cup he brought, and then said, "If it can be wiped clean, it's best, I'm afraid that this powder is brought on the stone bricks of the wall, if that's the case, it's over, and we never want to wipe it clean." ”

At this time, Huzi shouted, "No problem, wipe it clean, you see!" Saying that, Huzi pointed to the nearest square brick to himself, I leaned over to look, sure enough, the powder on it was wiped clean by Huzi, and the surface of the square brick was exposed, I touched it with my hand, and it was very smooth, which was very beneficial to the suction cup adsorption.

Wang Chuyi also smiled when he saw this situation, and said, "It seems that we are lucky." ”

"That's, when did my tiger master have bad luck?" As he spoke, Huzi began to wipe the second one with a towel, and he wanted to wipe a few more stone bricks on the wall without touching the steps.

But at this moment, the Seventh Master immediately scolded, "Huzi, come back!" Something is wrong with this wall! ”

As soon as the seventh master's voice fell, before Huzi could react, he had already rushed over, grabbed Huzi's collar behind his back, and dragged him back.

At this time, I realized that the skin on Huzi's hand holding the white towel had begun to turn black, and he himself was not even aware of it.

"Quick, wash your hands! Fast! It's too late! Saying that, the seventh master poured all the water in his kettle into Huzi's hand.

Huzi was so frightened by the Seventh Master, and he was nervous, as if he wanted to rub his hands together, but was stopped by the Seventh Master.

"Don't touch that hand again, or you'll be stained all over your body!" On the first day of the new year, quickly give me a clean towel, and everyone step back, keeping at least five meters away from this step. ”

After the seventh master finished speaking, he poured water on Huzi's black hand and pulled him back, until after retreating five meters, Wang Chuyi handed over a clean white towel.

The Seventh Master immediately took out a bottle of transparent liquid from his backpack and poured it on the towel, and then carefully wiped Huzi's hands.

I saw that white smoke was rising everywhere the towel was wiped, and Huzi's originally blackened skin immediately returned to its original color.

I don't think the expression on Huzi's face is good, presumably the process is a little painful.

While wiping, the seventh master said, "You all disperse, don't get too close!" ”

I didn't understand what was going on until I smelled a smell of almonds and reacted violently, "Back off, spread out!" ”

After we all dispersed, the Seventh Master and Huzi had already put on gas masks, and Wang Chuyi asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

I replied, "The bitter almond flavor should be a substance like *, this kind of thing can enter the human body through various channels, as long as you inhale a little, you will die, and the Daluo Immortal can't save it." ”

* Wang Chuyi was no stranger to this kind of substance, but after glancing at Huzi and the Seventh Master, he asked, "*, there was this kind of technology in ancient times?" ”

I shook my head and said, "Of course not, so I said it was a *class substance, but I don't know what it is." ”

At this time, Wang Chuyi was silent for a while, looked at me, and said, "Could it be something from outer space?" Meteorites and other powders? After all, isn't the unicorn eye just a meteorite with radiation? ”

I can't refute Wang Chuyi's reasoning, and I can't be sure, after all, this possibility exists, although the probability is very small.

About seven or eight minutes later, the seventh master and Huzi had already taken off their gas masks, and Wang Chuyi and I hurriedly walked over, only to see that Huzi's blackened arms had all recovered.

"Seventh Master, what can I do about this?" Huzi asked.

The Seventh Master stood in place, sighed, and said, "There must be a way, otherwise how did that person pass?" ”

"But we don't have that person's experience, he may have seen the arrangement of the mechanism on the steps, so he can walk over, but we can't! There's no way to tell which part will have a mechanism. Wang Chuyi put the hydraulic suction cup that had been taken out back into the backpack again.

In the face of such a situation, all of us were stumped, there was a highly toxic powdery substance on the wall, not to mention wiping it, even if you got close to smelling it, you might be poisoned, and the steps on the ground were full of mechanisms, if you want to pass from the steps, it must be nine deaths, even if you are lucky not to be hit by the fatal vital point of the mechanism, then you can only have half a life left when you walk over, and you have to walk back again.

"Damn, what now? The coffin can't be opened, the secret room can't be entered, is it possible that we just leave here? Go back to the dungeon and crawl out of the thief hole that the man hit? Just walk empty-handed? Hu Zi sat on the ground angrily, lit a cigarette, and stopped talking.
