Chapter 17: Bright Arrows
In the process of eating breakfast, the time passed by every second, and at this time, the sun above the head gradually became brighter, slowly moving towards the height of the dome, the so-called high lights were bright, and now the underground palace also became bright, like day, and everything could be seen clearly.

The sea-crossing bridge is replaced by a small stone arch bridge, the stone arch bridge is completed in more than ten steps, the bridge is under the Yellow Sea, the silver-white water is even rippling, like the waves in the sea, but the waves are also miniaturized, into ripples, no splashes, so it is safe for us walking on the bridge, and the mercury vapor we have a gas mask protection, it can not enter our body at all.
There are three rows of coastal defense soldiers lined up on the curved coastline, the front row is a crouching crossbowman in a shooting shape, and the back two rows are soldiers armed with halberds or ge, all of whom are standing upright, looking ahead, vigilant for the enemy on the sea.
From the bridge, the crouched crossbowmen are looking over the bridge and at sea, and the crossbow machines they hold are ready, and the arrows carrying triangular arrows are ready to be wound, ready to shoot and kill invading enemies or tomb robbers.
We walked very carefully every step, when the pangolin reached the top of the arch bridge, suddenly a dark wind touched the face, and the crossbow machine in the hands of the squatting crossbowmen actually activated, and one after another arrows whizzed away from the crossbow machine, and flew forward, and the arrows fired by several crossbowmen in front of the stone bridge were shooting at us on the bridge.
The pangolin's pupils dilated instantly at this time, and he shouted loudly: "Get down!" ”
The pangolin turned around and lay down, pressing the people in front of him, coming suddenly, the people behind him were defenseless, the pangolin pressed, everyone immediately fell on the bridge, fortunately no one fell into the mercury yellow sea, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
......Several arrows flew over our heads, hitting the stone statue and the wall of the stone gate, and after a burst of crackling, the arrows fell one after another, falling into the sea of mercury, and the arrows in the tomb seemed to be the same as the arrows in the tomb, all of which were gilded bronze arrows.
"This is a bright arrow, actually the bronze figurines will release arrows, damn, are they bronze statues, won't they be zombies?" Old K pressed his head, not daring to raise his head, afraid that an arrow would come from the cold.
"Anything else?" I'm more concerned about whether the arrows of the bronze crossbow warriors are finished.
The pangolin slowly glanced up, and a row of crossbowmen was still crouching, and there were no more arrows on the crossbow machine in their hands, indicating that there were no more arrows to shoot again.
"I'm done shooting." After the pangolin finished speaking, the first one tried to get up, but he was still standing at the top of the stone bridge, and his feet never left the top of the bridge.
Convinced that there were no more crossbow arrows, everyone cautiously got up and stood up again to watch the crossbowmen move.
I'm scared, the crossbow machine can be fired in bursts in the graveyard, I don't know if the crossbow machine in the crossbowman's hand is the kind of crossbow machine that can fire in bursts, if so, then it's not safe now, because I only shot one round of arrows just now, and I don't know when the second round will be fired, so I focused my attention on the crossbow machine in the crossbowman's hand.
The power of the Qin crossbow has been recorded in the history books for a long time, and this is the second time I have seen it, but fortunately, no one has been hit by an arrow until now.
"Shift your backpack in a different direction and carry it on your chest." I tell you that in this case, even if an arrow is fired, the whole person will not be completely exposed to the range of the arrow, at least a backpack will block it.
My words seemed to work very well at this moment, and everyone immediately changed their backpacks to their chests, but the backpacks were too heavy and bent everyone's waists.
"What a thin idea, such a heavy backpack is going to tire people to death." Old K complained.
I pointed at Lao K and scolded: "Grandma, don't listen to me." ”
"Hehe, you kid really can't chat, just kidding." Old K smiled and raised his chin at me.
"Don't follow too closely, if there are arrows shooting, they won't hug each other and be hedgehogs." The pangolin said to us condescendingly at this time.
"Grave robbing is a dangerous job, and pangolins have a point." As soon as Lao K heard the words of the pangolin, he immediately turned around and ran to Shangguan Yaxiong's side, and said to Shangguan Yaxiong with a hippie smile, "At this time, I still feel safer with you, those big men don't make people worry." ”
"Get out-" Shangguan Yaxiong couldn't see Lao K's playful face and scolded, but he didn't refuse to let Lao K stay by his side.
Now I feel more and more that Lao K accepted Shangguan Yaxiong into the army for a purpose, otherwise he wouldn't have looked at people's chests from time to time, and he secretly looked at Shangguan Yaxiong without his knowledge.
The six of them lined up in a line, and the pangolin was still in the front, and I saw him gently raise his left leg, and then slowly put it down, and then gently raised his right leg, and immediately there was a constant sound of "click, click", and I immediately glanced at the bronze crossbowmen, and saw that the crossbow machines in their hands were actually equipped with arrows.
I believe that other people have also seen it, and in a hurry, I shouted: "I'll go, the crossbow machine is rewound, hide quickly." ”
Almost as soon as I spoke, the pangolin turned around and jumped back to the bridge, and everyone fell to their stomachs, and then ......
Then there was no rain of arrows as we imagined, but quietly.
Slowly and cautiously, I glanced up at the crossbow machine in the crossbowman's hand, the arrow was still on the crossbow, and it had just been rewound. After making sure that there was no danger, everyone got back up.
"I'll go, the bronze crossbow warriors will actually wind the crossbow themselves, this is too unscientific, they can't be ghosts!" Old K stared at the crossbow warriors, unable to figure out what to do.
"This is the so-called repeating crossbow machine, just like the one in the tomb, except that now the crossbow machine is in the hands of the bronze figurines." I am an absolute materialist, I absolutely do not believe in ghosts and gods, and all unsolved mysteries are just unknown phenomena, mysteries waiting to be solved, and I cannot reduce things that cannot yet be explained to the works of ghosts and gods.
All such automatic mechanisms have news, so where is the news at this time, it must have been touched by at least one of the six of us, otherwise it would be impossible to shoot spontaneously out of thin air.
"What the hell, who moved where?" I firmly believe that my judgment is asking you all.
"No, I didn't touch anything." Zhao Linsheng first said that he was innocent, and then everyone else affirmed that he had not touched anything, except for the air.
The pangolin mused, "If that's the case, then we'll just walk up the stone bridge." ”
"Could it be that the news of the control of the crossbow machine here is the same as that in the tomb, controlled by pressure?" Suddenly, I thought of the crossbow in the graveyard again.
The pangolin immediately took off his backpack and said to us, "Be careful, everyone, don't show your head." ”
Yes, the arch bridge is curved, and we are on this end, even if there is an arrow in front of us, it will be blocked by the other side of the arch bridge.
When everyone was ready, the pangolin flung violently, and the backpack rose in the air, then landed on the arched bridge, and then slid down to the other end.
"No response, is it a mistake to guess the location of the message?" I frowned, and the six of them lay on the back of the arched bridge facing the crossbowmen, if there was news on this side, it must have been touched, and a large number of arrows should have been fired at us, but no, it was quiet, and obviously did not touch the news.
"Qin Qi, give me your backpack." I was right behind the pangolin, closest to him, and he reached out to me for his backpack.
I had a lot of stuff in my backpack, even a laptop and a camera, and I didn't want to be broken or pierced by an arrow, so I didn't want to give it to him.
"What are you doing in a daze, give it to me." The pangolin's outstretched hand shook and said.
I really couldn't help it, so I took off my backpack and handed it to him slowly: "You throw it lightly." ”
The pangolin snatched it away: "Don't worry, it's broken, go out and buy you a better one." Then the pangolin was thrown suddenly, and it was at the top of the *** bridge, and my backpack was also quite heavy, at least dozens of pounds of things were in the backpack.
As soon as the heavy backpack was pressed to the top of the arch bridge, sure enough, the crossbow machine in the hands of the crossbowmen reacted, and the arrows flew over in an instant.
"Damn, the agency news is really on the bridge." I got up, and saw that there were no arrows on the crossbow machine in the hands of the crossbowmen, and my backpack was at the highest point, and I had already been hit by the arrow, and I was feeling sorry for the contents of my backpack, so I reached out and picked up my backpack.
"Don't move......," the pangolin shouted, but it was too late, I had already picked up my backpack, and then there was a clatter, and I knew the crossbow machine was winding again.
I immediately got down with my backpack and everyone was down, except for the pangolin.
"Pangolin, you don't want to die!" Old K shouted, but he realized that the arrow didn't shoot at all, and then said, "Hehe, what's the matter?" ”
