Chapter Twenty-Four: A False Alarm
This trap road is more than 300 meters long, and every 25 meters or so, there will be a trap mechanism, but it was destroyed by the third uncle's gang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's hard to imagine what kind of danger our group of people would face if these traps were still intact. How much time will it take to break it?
Walking through this trap path, a staircase that extends downwards appears in front of you, about forty meters long. The surface of this staircase is very dry, but for some reason, there is always a damp smell from it, which is unusual.
To be on the safe side, I threw the ice axe I had brought with me into the staircase passage. After the ice axe weighing more than a pound smashed on the ladder, under the action of inertia, it bounced a few more times before finally stopping.
After waiting in place for a while, the staircase passage had been quiet, and nothing had happened, and I was finally relieved, but at the same time I felt a little suspicious.
As I was about to enter the staircase passage, the sign grabbed me and said, "Have you ever thought that maybe the ice axe is too light to trigger the mechanism to activate?" But when people pass, it's hard to say. ”
I spread my hands and quipped, "What then?" Is it possible to throw a living person down for experiments? ”
The chin of the mark was lifted behind my back, and the thief smiled, "That's not necessary, but you can throw your backpack in and try it, it's not light." ”
I was surprised and asked, "Why did you lose my backpack, can't yours?" ”
Biaozi smiled awkwardly: "I have too many bottles and cans in my baggage, if I just throw them down, won't they all be smashed?" ”
I immediately understood what he meant, it turned out that he was worried about those second-pot heads in the backpack? I said solemnly, "Okay! But I'm going to divide half of the private goods in your backpack, that's it. ”
Biaozi made an expression that was more ugly than crying, but I ignored him, took off my backpack, and threw it directly into the passage in front of me. The stairs are sloping downward, and when the oval backpack falls on it, it will automatically roll down until it reaches the end of the stairs.
After waiting for two minutes, the passage was still as calm as ever, and I said to the marker, "There should be no problem now, right?" ”
Biaozi said confidently: "Since you have passed the test of your brother and me, naturally there will be no more accidents." ”
Having said that, I was still very careful when I went down with the standard, because there were too many immeasurable risk factors in the ancient tomb, and we couldn't joke with our own lives.
Halfway through, I picked up my ice axe and smiled at the target: "Comrade, congratulations on passing the test!" ”
Biaozi said without modesty: "That is, with Biao Ye here, any test is just a small ......"
Before he finished speaking, the five steps under our feet actually sank down at the same time, and the two of us looked at each other, saw the look of fear on each other's faces, and exclaimed at the same time: "Not good! ”
The two of us turned around and were about to run back, but at that moment, at the entrance of the stairs, a boulder as wide as the passage fell, blocking our way. Looking back, it was the same behind us, a boulder of the same size blocked the way out, and now the joke was too big, and we were completely sealed in this staircase passage.
I thought that the next step would be to shoot countless arrows from the stone walls on both sides, turning the two of us into two hedgehogs, or falling down many boulders, smashing the two of us into pulp in an instant. But to my surprise, the boulder and the arrow did not appear, but a column of water descended from the direction overhead.
The column of water was thicker than an ordinary bucket, and the speed of the water was very fast, and if it continued like this, it was estimated that it would not take ten minutes to fill the entire passage, and then the two of us would have to be drowned.
Biaozi immediately scolded: "I wipe, it's actually a water prison mechanism, this method is enough to damage, Lao Tzu never suffers, and when I go out, I will inevitably tear down the bone frame of the Queen Mother of the West!" ”
I said angrily, "I'll talk this nonsense when you get out alive!" The water came up from below, and we hurried up, and it was a while to be able to hold out a little longer. ”
Biaozi didn't panic at all, he said to me very calmly: "What's the panic, we're trapped here, can Boss Qin and those people still sit idly by?" Don't worry, I bet that in less than three minutes, the stone slab on it will be blasted by the SWAT, and it won't be good if you go up now, and be injured by mistake. ”
I look back and think, hey! It's really so reasonable, but I'm still a little worried, and said: "But what if that slate is very thick and can't explode at all for a while, then what are we going to do?" ”
He walked over, patted me on the shoulder, pointed to the end of the stairs and asked, "Old Yang, let's stay here for a while, do you see that the water is rising?" ”
He didn't say anything, I really didn't notice the problem, and when I looked carefully at the end of the stairs, I found that the water really didn't mean to rise, as if there was an outlet below, and all the water in the passage was leaked.
After thinking about it for a few seconds, I reacted and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "I understand, haha!" It turned out that the stone slab below was destroyed by the third uncle. I'll go! Why didn't you tell me earlier, and make me worry in vain. ”
Biaozi said proudly: "There is a third uncle in front of the road, no matter what kind of mechanism, it will definitely be destroyed, such a simple truth, you still want me to remind it, it is really hopeless." ”
Being able to get out of danger and save my life is more important than anything else, so how can I still be in the mood at the moment, to care about the ironic words of the standard, I couldn't help but say excitedly: "In this way, our two pioneers are not dangerous at all, and I really have to thank the third uncle." ”
Biao Zi smiled and said: "If I hadn't seen through this a long time ago, do you think I would have let you be a pioneer?" ”
I thought this was the case, and I couldn't help but tease the target: "I gradually found that your cunning has caught up with the third uncle and Qin Kunlun, and the future is limitless!" ”
The mark glanced at me, and pretended to be angry and said: "The more you talk, the more boring it gets, I don't talk nonsense with you, I'll go down to see what is going on, you can do it yourself." ”
Of course I pursued it, and soon we reached the end of the staircase, and when we looked closely, sure enough, there was a large hole in the stone slab that blocked the way, and all the water in the passage had flowed out of it. (To be continued.) )
