Chapter 13: The Secret Door

When Lu Ming performed his duties as a captain for the first time in the treacherous realm, after giving a speech, everyone got busy and sorted out their equipment, while Lu Ming called Gao Yu to take a general look at the environment they were in. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

They are currently in a place similar to an underground cave, with an average height of about ten meters, about the same size as two basketball courts, and there is a small hole directly above it, revealing a little light, so that the cave can barely see things clearly. The cave is surrounded by uneven rocks of various sizes, forming a relatively compact rock wall, and the bottom is composed of stones and earth, which is relatively flat overall. Eventually, the two came to the conclusion that they were almost in a large chamber, and that there was no way out for the time being, except for the small unattainable hole directly above.

After a long wait, everyone finally ushered in the release of the second phase of the mission.

"The second stage of the mission: the Black Water Pool Stone Monument

Mission requirements: Arrive at the stone monument of Heishuitan within 5 hours, and the task personnel will set off in groups of two people every ten minutes

Reward: Cut off the right ear

Task Tip: If you are in a group of less than two people or more than two people, the difficulty of the task will be doubled!

Reward: 500,000 yuan of real coins per person

Special Bonus: None"

This mission is very strange, there is a mandatory requirement for everyone to be grouped in pairs, but the problem is that there are now nine people on the mission, which means that someone must face the situation of doubling the difficulty of the task. However, on the issue of the life of the family, who wants to be this "Lei Feng"?

After a short silence, Gao Yu first said: "Brother Lu, let's find a way to get out first, I turned around just now, this is a secret room at all, the opening on the top is small and far away, it seems that I can't get out at all, I guess I still have to look for clues in the cave." ā€

Gao Yu's words successfully diverted everyone's attention, and everyone gradually put their minds on how to get out, after all, if they can't even get out of this so-called secret room, what's the point of dividing into a good group? What's more, grouping is a sensitive topic after all, and no one can open their mouths like this.

So for a while, everyone got busy again, turned on the flashlight, and carefully studied every place in the cave. At this time, Gao Yu took the opportunity to quietly walk up to Lu Ming and whispered, "Brother Lu, what about the grouping?" ā€

Lu Ming didn't answer directly, but asked him, "What do you think?" ā€

Gao Yu obviously understood what Lu Ming valued about himself, and he didn't hesitate, and analyzed it directly: "According to the requirements and tips of the task, the problem we are currently facing is undoubtedly what to do with the remaining person, if it is one person, it will definitely be a death in the face of doubling the difficulty of the task, so no one will definitely want to." So I can only work in pairs of others, and the last group of three people remains."

"Why not five or seven? Even if we can have nine people in a group, the more people there are, the better the chance of completing the task? Lu Ming interjected.

"Brother Lu, don't test me, my EQ is not so low. Although we are a team, but we have not yet reached the point of inserting knives in the ribs, if there are two options of normal difficulty and double difficulty, everyone must want to choose normal difficulty for the first time, after all, no one knows if doubling the difficulty is to send people to death! If it's a group of five or seven, it's the majority of the team, and it's not certain who listens to whom, so I say it's only possible for three people. As for nine people, doesn't that mean that the difficulty has been directly increased by one level before the task has started, and no one will want to. But what worries me the most now is how to choose these three people. Gao Yu said.

Lu Ming smiled at him and said, "Your kid's analysis is the Tao, and you will be stumped when you encounter this kind of problem?" Of course, it is the most scientific and fair method left by the ancestors, and it is to catch lots. ā€

"Huh? Scratch... Draw lots, this 怂怂怂怂怂 That's right, that's all it can be now. Gao Yu was originally surprised by Lu Ming's hasty idea, but after thinking about it, he understood that the problem was still in the composition of the team, there were five newcomers and four old hands; There are six normal ones, and there are three punished ones, no matter how they are divided, everyone will not be satisfied, and only the lottery is the most reasonable, after all, who do you talk to about luck?

Soon, people gathered around looking for an exit, but unfortunately, everyone turned the hole upside down, and still found nothing. Everyone couldn't help but wonder if they had to climb out of the hole in the roof. It's impossible, the entrance to the cave is so high, and they don't have any climbing tools, so it's hard to get out.

"Keep looking, there must be some hidden places that we haven't noticed, the master won't give us a dead mission, there must be a way out." Lu Ming said firmly.

Everyone immediately began to inspect it for the second time, and after a while, Wang Fugui made a discovery.

He hurriedly called Lu Ming and the others and said to them: "Come and see, what do the stones in this direction look like together?" ā€

Everyone looked at the place where he pointed out, and the large and small strange stones on the cave wall seemed to form one. Fish Face !! That's right, it's an anthropomorphic fish face, with fangs, a bloody mouth, and a very evil look in his eyes, and those who look at it shudder, and the timid people in the team can't help but take a few steps back.

Lu Ming took a closer look, touched the stones again, and said: "If you are close, you can't see it, and you can only see it if you stand a little farther away." However, there is nothing special about these stones, and they are all very strong. Do you see anything else, old ghost? Hi, how did you forget again. Saying that, Lu Ming entered what he just said into his mobile phone and showed it to Wang Fugui.

After reading it, Wang Fugui said: "We all looked at it too carefully before, and I also remembered the 'method of looking at the situation' that I paid attention to in the previous inverted bucket, so I accidentally discovered it." And I guess it's a 'dead door'. ā€

"Death's door? What do you mean? Why are you talking so mysterious, old ghost? When Meng Da heard the old ghost say this, he hurriedly exclaimed.

But the old ghost was not affected by him at all (in fact, mainly because he was deaf) and continued: "The door of death is a type of secret door, and the secret door is a small branch of the ancient trick, which is generally divided into three types: life, death, and life. The door generally refers to the secret door that is repaired in order to decorate or hide important items, and the mechanism is relatively simple, such as what you often see in TV dramas, turning a bottle or flower pot, you can open a secret door, this is the door, which is the lowest end of the mechanism, and can be used by ordinary people. The door of death is different from the trapdoor, it is generally used in special places, and the trapdoor can only be opened with a specific token, otherwise it will self-destruct inside, and it is generally a family or organization that has a heritage to use this kind of door. The Death Door, on the other hand, is the most common in the Tombs, and it looks unremarkable, but you must find the right way to activate it, otherwise the defense mechanism will be triggered. I've seen a tomb of the Great Southern Sacrifice before, and one of the death doors had to be watered with the blood of ten poisonous insects before it could be opened, so our top priority was to find the right way to activate it. ā€

Seeing that the old ghost said that the head was the way, everyone once again fell into deep thought, how to open this secret door? In the end, it was Wang Fugui's proposal, which everyone felt was the most reliable, which was to water it! Since this secret door is a fish face, and the so-called fish is like a fish in water, doesn't this fish face door come to life when it encounters water?

So Lu Ming and the others took out the drinking water they were carrying, poured the door from top to bottom, and then quickly ran away, according to Wang Fugui, if the activation method is not used correctly, but it is life-threatening, it is always good to be careful.

That is, less than a minute after pouring it, everyone saw that the scene in front of them had changed significantly, the color of the stones that made up the fish face gradually became darker, and the whole fish face became more prominent, especially a pair of fish eyes staring at everyone as if they were alive, emitting a strange light, Liu Ding was directly frightened by this scene and sat on the ground, and said tremblingly: "Live... Lived! ā€

Meng Da directly kicked Liu Ding with his foot in the past, and said disdainfully: "Okay, look at your little bit of interest, didn't Uncle Ghost say it just now, as long as the method must have changed to this door, let alone where he lives, he can still open his mouth!" ā€

As soon as the words fell, the fish's mouth made a rumbling sound, and the original fish's mouth revealed a half-person-high hole, and several people hurriedly shone the flashlight over, and after careful observation, they found that this was not a passage, but only a small square hole that could accommodate 7 or 8 people, and the rest of the place was completely solid, and there was no exit to other places at all.

"No, we should have found the right way to look at this one, this door should have been opened, how could there be only such a small hole?" Wang Fugui squatted at the entrance of the cave and looked at it again, obviously he was also a little puzzled by this situation.

At this time, it was Lu Ming who opened his mouth and said, "I think this door has been opened, and the passage is in this fish's mouth." ā€

Without waiting for everyone to ask the reason, he continued: "The old ghost's method is obviously correct, you have all seen the changes that have taken place in this door, and the fish mouth is the only place where this door has changed in space, so I think this exit must be in this fish mouth." If you think about the requirements of this mission, you should go in groups of two and set off every ten minutes. At first, I was wondering what it meant to leave a group every 10 minutes, but now I think that a group of people should enter the fish's mouth every 10 minutes! ā€

Everyone was stunned by Lu Ming's vision for a while, and entered the fish's mouth?! Although this fish face is fake, but the appearance is fierce and weird, ordinary people are afraid when they get close, and now they have to get into its mouth, in case his mouth is closed again, isn't it a death, and there is no chance to resist.

Seeing everyone shaking their heads vigorously, Lu Ming also knew that it was a little difficult to get them to accept his views, and he couldn't come up with any sufficient evidence to prove his words, to put it bluntly, his intuition was the main factor. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say: "I know you think my idea is a bit crazy, but we also searched around, and half an hour has passed, and now the only clue is this fish-faced door, if we don't do anything now." The only thing that awaits us is punishment, and the woman in red once told me that if no one completes the task issued in the Trick Territory, not only will all members be doubled, but the difficulty of subsequent tasks will also increase. ā€

Under the double pressure of time and punishment, everyone finally decided to give it a try according to Lu Ming's method, but before the test, they also faced a more difficult problem: grouping!!
