Chapter XXV
The flares dispersed, and there seemed to be a red light flickering inside the stone wall in the distance, as if there was some treasure, could it be that the Xuanyuan Sword was there?
It seems that our goal is clear, and that is the tall round stone wall.
Short sword looked back at Uncle Ming, and Uncle Ming said, "Let's go." ”
After the dispute with Uncle Ming just now, I, the nominal captain, was suddenly emptied and became nominal and insubstantial.
Although I always felt that it was wrong and that I should take a good look at the stone carvings and patterns, I couldn't say anything more when everyone started to move forward.
Walking to the middle of the circular pattern, suddenly there was a jolt under my feet, and the ground began to shake.
What's wrong with it!
"Click" followed by four sounds, and the rocks beneath their feet began to shake violently, and everyone was shocked and terrified.
"Don't move!" Lacey shouted, and Lacey kept running to get her balance.
From the shaking stone platform and the feeling under my feet, I immediately sensed that the bottom of this square stone platform we were on was empty! There is only one support in the middle, and we must keep the balance of the stone platform, otherwise everyone will fall.
"Don't move!" Lacey shouted again.
We were all frightened by the shouting, and only one of us was still running in panic.
Of course, it's Wan Huo's retarded mind.
I hugged him as he ran past me, but it was because of the running of the camels that our side was too heavy and pressed the stone platform high.
Seeing that the stone platform was about to topple, Zifei and Bai Xue had already screamed. Uncle Ming and the short sword quickly pounced on Lacey's side.
The change in gravity lifted us high again, and I saw the deep darkness behind Lacey. We don't know how high our feet are, and if we fall like this, we will definitely die.
Lacey ran a few more steps towards us, and the stone platform continued to slope in our direction.
"Don't move this time!" Lacey still yelled, and everyone didn't dare to move again. Lacey adjusted the position of the stone platform again, and after a few more slight shakings, the stone platform finally remained stable.
It was extremely thrilling, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief for a while.
As soon as they kept their balance, everyone began to shout in panic.
"Shut up!" , Lacey shouted again and calmed everyone.
Then Lacey said calmly: "What we learned in the army is to maintain balance, now everyone don't panic, listen to my orders, understand!" ”
Almost everyone hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Xiaoshuai, if I count to three, you will move to the left and move to the stone lion."
I nodded, and looked at the "stone lion", which was a statue of a monster and a lion.
"One, two," Lacey began to count slowly.
"Three."
So Lacey and I started to walk at the same time, I walked to the left and Lacey followed me to adjust my balance.
I walked to the stone carving, and Lacey stood firm again to maintain the balance of the stone platform, and then Lacey said: "This mechanism is very powerful, the stone platform is thick and heavy, and it is not easy for us to change the balance of the stone platform when we go to it, but the designer added these four heavy stone lions, so if you change the balance a little, the stone platform will easily overturn." ”
As soon as Lacey said this, I immediately understood, I looked carefully at the bottom of the stone sculpture and saw that there were traces of movement, pondered for a while and said, "This stone sculpture seems to be movable, what if you push the stone sculpture down?" ”
After saying that, I stretched out my hand and pushed the stone carving, but the stone platform was gently tilted to this side because of my slight effort.
"Can't push!" Lacey said nervously, "These four stone lions are too heavy, and if we don't have any of them, the balance will be broken immediately, and we will die without a place to bury." ”
At this moment, the stone platform suddenly shook again, it turned out that Uncle Ming took a few steps forward, which scared us to keep moving, and the stone platform shook even more fiercely.
"Don't move!" Lacey yelled again and quickly pointed the gun at Uncle Ming, who stopped.
Then Lacey hurriedly moved a few quick steps and balanced the stone platform again.
"If everyone moves now, the stone platform will fall, and no one will be able to escape." Lacey looked at us as she spoke, and then said, "From now on, if the balance breaks and the others don't move, I'll keep the balance." ”
"Got it!" Lacey was really angry this time, and said majestically: "Whoever is disobedient, I'll shoot him to death!" ”
Everyone knew that Lacey said that he would do it, and no one dared to move this time.
What Lacey said, I understand, everyone is in turmoil, and even if Lacey's troops learn more about balance, they can't maintain the balance of the stone platform. But to be honest, this is the first time that Lacey has said the rules so directly, loudly and ruthlessly, and extraordinary means are required in extraordinary times.
After Lacey finished speaking, he aimed the AK in his hand at Uncle Ming, and said sharply, "What were you going to do just now!" ”
The short sword also aimed at Lacey, and the atmosphere was tense for a while.
Uncle Ming said indifferently: "You can maintain your balance when I leave, someone has to take the first step." ”
He said it as a matter of course, but I was angry and asked Uncle Ming loudly: "If you want to go, the girl has to go first?" ”
"Is there a difference between men and women?" Uncle Ming asked me rhetorically.
"Men are born to let women get out of trouble first." I say it with righteous words.
"This is born by you? Who has stipulated that women should be given priority? Uncle Ming retorted disdainfully.
"Shameless!"
After listening to Uncle Ming's quibbles, I can only describe it with two words: shameless.
"Are you noble? You are noble, you just stay on this stone platform and leave last. Uncle Ming said.
"Good!" I said it out loud.
I don't want to say anything more, just a simple word, after saying it, I suddenly feel arrogant and dry, what's the big deal, it's just a big deal.
Everyone looked at me in amazement, but their eyes were different.
"Okay, Xiaoshuai and I will stay in the end, let the lady leave first, no problem." Lacey said.
"Good" Stiletto's second response, I can't help but change my opinion of Daggian, this person is at least still a man.
In the end, Uncle Ming also nodded.
Lacey added: "There are the same four stone lions over there, and it is estimated that the situation is similar to that here. ”
Shortsword said, "Those who go up first must hold on to the stone, and then use the same method to pass after all the people here have gone up." ”
Lacey shook her head and said, "No." ”
We all looked at Lacey in amazement, why not?
"Look." After Lacey finished speaking, she gently took a few steps forward, and the stone platform instantly tilted forward at an angle. A dark space beneath another stone platform was revealed.
When the flashlights of Lacey and the dagger were turned on at the same time, and through the gap, we saw that the middle of the stone platform was supported by a stone pillar with a diameter of one square meter, and the same was true of the stone platform under our feet.
Then Lacey threw his bright flashlight directly through the gap, and we saw that the flashlight flashed a few times indiscriminately before disappearing into the darkness, and it took a long time for the sound of the flashlight falling to the ground from below. It can be seen that the space under our feet is very high.
Seeing that we still didn't understand, Lacey said, "Even if we stand on that stone platform, if the stone platform under our feet collapses, it will probably break the supporting stone pillar under that stone platform, and it will also be death." ”
In fact, Lacey understood halfway through speaking, did it have to leave two people on this stone platform to maintain balance? Aren't these two men going to die?
