Chapter 154: Delicate Mechanism
I stared at the depths of the graveyard with a stumbling throat, and at that moment I staggered to my feet, took out a compound crossbow from the side pocket, and aimed it tightly at the depths of the tomb.
Not only me, but the other people in charge of guarding also heard this voice, quickly stood up, and took out long-range weapons from their packages.
As time went on, it seemed that the sound was getting louder and closer.
"Wake up, everyone, there's something!"
At the feeling of this hairiness on my body, I opened my mouth and roared, and in an instant my voice suddenly exploded in the tombway.
Faintly, I saw an unusually strange shape in the depths of the tomb, and it came quickly.
The moment I let out this roar, everyone who had been sleeping instantly became agitated and quickly stood up.
In this kind of tomb, even if you sleep, you don't sleep too much, and everyone is in a state of high tension, even when they sleep.
So the moment I shouted, everyone had already reacted and stood up.
Although there was still some sleepiness, when they saw something in front of them that they didn't know what it was, everyone shook and suddenly woke up.
It was so close to us that I could already see what it was.
In shape, it looked like a deer, on all fours, with a pair of horns facing upwards.
"That's a deer?"
I was not the only one present who could see it, but there were other people who saw the shape and immediately spoke.
Now you can only see a general outline and can't see anything else, even if the flashlight is turned to the high beam, the effective distance is limited after all.
However, the thing was obviously getting closer and closer, and the speed of this thing was not too fast, and then for a while, everyone woke up slightly, and each drew their ranged weapons, and pointed tightly in the direction of that place.
Everyone stands more scattered, this is to prevent their ranged weapons from accidentally injuring teammates, and also to prevent being wiped out by such a dangerous thing in an instant.
"This thing ......!"
Looking at this thing, it was getting closer and closer, and it was completely clear what it was.
I couldn't help but look a little surprised, this was not the same as I had expected, according to my previous expectation, it should be some kind of evil thing, but at this moment, when I saw the way it looked, I knew I was wrong.
It wasn't something vicious, but a trap deer made entirely of wooden mechanisms.
The deer was the same size as a normal deer, and the joints on its legs were unusually flexible, as if it were a real road, and it walked on four legs.
Even though I've read a lot of books, I've never seen anything like it.
But even if it's not a vicious thing, I still don't dare to let down my vigilance at all, it's definitely not easy for this thing to appear in the tomb.
In terms of craftsmanship, this thing is already quite remarkable, and I can't tell if there is any mechanism hidden in this thing.
But what puzzles me a little is, what exactly is this stuff made of?
This thing is obviously different from some large traps, the traps and clockwork of this thing should be built-in, and the whole deer is opened independently.
Even if we trigger something when we come down, it shouldn't have any effect.
"It's not easy!"
"In terms of value alone, this thing can be regarded as a treasure, even if it is stronger than the lost wooden ox and flowing horse!"
Before I could say anything, Qian Lao, who was at the back of the team, spoke, and in the afterglow of his vision, he could clearly see that Qian Lao's pupils flashed suddenly.
I smiled a little bitterly, I don't think this is a good thing, after all, the more exquisite the mechanism of this deer, the more dangerous it means that the mechanism in this tomb is more dangerous.
"Old Qian, should we think about any way to get around this thing now?"
"I always felt like there was some danger hidden in this thing."
"If I'm not mistaken, this deer seems to have a crossbow on its head, which means that this thing definitely has a certain degree of lethality."
At this time, Sima Ming's brows furrowed slightly, and he spoke slowly.
Sima Ming's knowledge of mechanism techniques is very deep, and I have also learned about it, and Qian Laosuo gave me a book before, which is an introduction to all the common genres in the circle.
And Sima Ming's genre is also in this, including what he is good at, as well as the historical origin, there are some rough points in this book, if you just consider the mechanism technique, maybe Sima Ming is even stronger than the hidden dragon in the mechanism technique.
If such a master says that there is a problem, then basically there is no escape.
"What should I do with the old money? Do you want to fire? I stared at Qian Lao on the side and asked.
The trap didn't trigger the trap at the moment, but I still had a vague feeling of worry.
"Since Sima Ming said that there is a hidden crossbow machine on this deer, then strike first!"
Qian Lao stared at the deer in front of him tightly, and after hesitating for more than a second, he immediately gritted his teeth, and his dry hand was clenched into a fist.
To be honest, I can understand Qian Lao's mood very well, it is a rather tangled feeling, there are definitely not many things in the world, and they can even be said to be rare treasures, and this thing in front of me is like this.
Let Qian Lao order the destruction of such a thing, Qian Lao is naturally a little entangled.
But there is no way to do it, the devil knows what kind of crossbow machine is hidden on this thing, in case there are six or seven hidden on it, it will be quite dangerous.
Now so much is not too wide, even if our people are scattered to stand, there is no way to avoid all the arrows.
Judging by the size of the deer, if the arrows hidden in its body were scattered all over the place, it was estimated that if there were seven or eight arrows, it would be able to shoot at least three.
So for the sake of safety, no matter how strange this thing is, destroy it.
What's more, this thing is obviously not as precious as the burial goods in the tomb, and there are hidden things on it that are obviously set up to prevent tomb robbers, and the burial goods are the real treasure.
As soon as Qian Lao's words fell, everyone's crossbow machine was suddenly triggered, and bullets and arrows smashed into the wooden deer in front of him as if they didn't want money.
And at this moment, small holes also popped up on the body of this wooden deer.
These holes are not caused by our weapons, but seem to be hidden here.
"It's not good, get down!" Immediately afterwards, Sima Ming let out a roar, and the whole person crawled to the ground in an instant.
Because I was on duty, I was standing closest, so I could see it most vividly, and I immediately fell to the ground before I heard a strange noise.
And the next moment I climbed down, the wooden deer's body suddenly shot out a large number of arrows.
Unlike our compound crossbow, our compound crossbow belongs to the continuous firing state and requires manual bowstring pulling, and the magazine automatically pushes the arrows up, but the crossbow machine set up in this deer can be said to be completely automatic.
One by one, they were ejected, and no one pulled the bowstring manually.
"Bang bang ....."
A series of arrows rang out, and I don't know how many arrows grew in the deer's belly, and it bounced for more than a minute before it stopped.
The attack power of this deer is really large, and it is estimated that in this minute, this deer has shot about 100 or so arrows!
Fortunately, all of these bullet holes are coming in a horizontal direction, not towards the ground, otherwise, even lying on the ground will not help.
But even so, not everyone avoided the arrow, probably because of the relationship between just waking up, many people still have a hazy feeling when they just woke up, and the reaction is much slower than before, so at this moment, several have been hit.
Under such a dense array of arrows, all those who were hit were pierced like plugs.
My gaze swept slightly, and five of the people who were struck by the arrow had died!
According to our assignment, there is exactly the number of people in a duty team.
"Fire!"
Qian Lao lay on the ground, bit the root of his teeth fiercely, and squeezed out two words from between his teeth, obviously Qian Lao had been made full of anger by this thing.
Not only Qian Lao, but even I was so angry that my teeth itched, this is just after going to the tomb, and I have only walked along the tomb for ten minutes, and I have already encountered such a big change!
At the moment when Qian Lao's voice came out, everyone's guns rang out again.
Bang bang bang....
As before, the bullets and arrows smashed into the deer's body like crazy, especially the compound crossbow I was holding, anyway, the arrows of the compound crossbow can be recycled and reused, so there is no need to save it.
But all of us' eyes shrank to the size of a pinhole in an instant.
I don't know what kind of wood the deer in front of me is made of, and what process it is made of, whether it is our bullet or knowledge, it only leaves a shallow one on his surface.
In terms of hardness and toughness alone, this wood is even comparable to metal!
My face was a little ugly, but it looked like there were no arrows in it, which was a blessing in disguise.
But I was obviously too early to rejoice, and after the arrows in my entire magazine had been fired, the deer somehow suddenly seemed to feel something, and the joints in its feet moved rapidly.
The whole trap deer is rushing in the direction we are!
The speed of this horror is quite fast, much faster than a normal person's running, it is hard to imagine that the joints made of wood machinery can be so flexible and run so fast!
Even a four-legged running robot made by modern technology can't do it so fast!
As it ran, the deer's head slowly lowered and aligned its horns straight towards the horizontal tree.
Although this horn is also wooden, but judging from the previous judgment, this hardness is no less than steel, and it is not a joke to be pricked.
But at this time, I was lying on the ground, and I rolled slightly, and I rolled to the side of the wall, not afraid of his collision.
The others quickly rolled to the other side, emptying the middle of the tomb.
Although the deer is very elaborate in its manufacturing process and mechanism design, it does not seem to have the ability to capture the movement of objects.
It was precisely because of this that in less than half a minute, the deer slammed into the wall of the tomb on the side.
"Boom!"
The walls here are made entirely of bronze, and no matter what, wood is wood after all, and even if it is comparable to steel, it is only comparable, and if it does collide with enough force, then the disadvantage of wood will be apparent in an instant.
At this time, this scene appeared in front of our eyes, and under the action of this huge force, the head of the deer in front of us became fragmented, and the horn also broke off the moment it hit the wall.
