Chapter 21: Rat Hole Escape 01
I looked at everything that happened in front of me in amazement, this big mouse that looked like a dog in my eyes would actually understand Huang Shuai's whistle, and Huang Shuai had said before that the Huang family was not only good at designing secret passage mechanisms, but also good at domesticating rare and exotic beasts.
Could it be that this big rat that looks like a dog is one of the "exotic beasts" that we don't know about?
Guo Yun seemed to notice the situation on our side, she suddenly broke in, not to mention where she came in, at least to be sure, she didn't know that Huang Shuai was a member of the Huang family, and the young man named Xiaodong was also surprised, he probably didn't expect to meet someone from the family here,
Huang Shuai obviously guessed his identity, and he whispered to me, saying: "Guo Yun will definitely not allow so many people to retreat, and she will not go out so empty-handed, and she will definitely not give up if she doesn't get the design drawings of the mechanism, so we must preemptively strike before they take action."
I said that it is impossible, we are only four of us now, what is Zhang Yang's position, no one can say, this person cannot be counted in the scope of his own people now, and I still want to say something, but I was interrupted by a piercing bell.
I thought it was the big rat coming over again, but no, the big rat's eyes were staring at the group of corpse insects, and the corpse insects were very clustered, densely clustered together, as if they were also waiting for the opportunity.
A question suddenly occurred to me, how did this rat get in?
Huang Shuai and I glanced at each other, each other understood each other's meaning, and at this moment, that Xiaodong suddenly shot at the big mouse, and I subconsciously shouted: "Don't shoot." “
But my voice was still a step slower, the bullet crossed the head of the skeletal rat, left and right out, I just wanted to curse, but found that the mouse did not die immediately, but silently glanced at us, at the same time, the corpse insects swarmed, but their target was not us, but the skeletal rat.
I finally understood Guo Yun's strategy, but the chance of success was very small, why did he do it?
At this moment, the passage suddenly began to shake slightly, and the hanging chains began to sway from side to side, and the screams of the people who touched the chains instantly turned into ashes, and three or four of the people who were flamboyant died at once, and we were also staggering, for fear of being touched by the chains.
That Xiaodong saw the opportunity and shouted and jumped, and everyone on the left and right jumped into the hole, and I shouted no, because wasn't it blown up there? Isn't jumping down the same as burying yourself alive?
But the next second I thought of another problem, rats can make holes, this skeleton can appear in front of us, there must be a mouse it hits, since there is no on the surface, then it is a possibility, it also came out of this hole, but when, we don't care.
It didn't matter after all, so he deliberately beat the skeleton to the end, so that the corpse worm would compete with the snipe and the mussel, while we took the opportunity to jump into the hole and try to find the mouse hole dug by the skeleton.
Although this plan sounds like a fantasy, and the odds of success are very low from common sense, they actually did it.
Bai Yun escorted Jiang Yuan back to us, I asked him and Zhang Yang what to say, Jiang Yuan's face was not very good, he said that Zhang Yang asked us to help him get the mechanism design from Huang Shuai's hand, and then he helped us get out of here, I said this is impossible, the mechanism design is passed down from generation to generation by the Huang family, don't say that we ordinary people can't understand the drawings, even if we understand it, what can we do?
Jiang Yuan seems to think that I have something to say in my words, however, I do have another meaning in my words, but at present, the time is urgent, and I don't have time to explain it, so I have to let them follow me, because I also have to gamble to see if I am a fortune teller, I live a long life, but I am lonely all my life.
Bai Yun hesitated, but Jiang Yuan acted immediately, he jumped out of the cave with Huang Shuai on his back, at this time, the corpse insect had already rolled to the other side wrapped in the skeleton rat, the skeleton rat kept devouring the corpse worm, and the corpse worm was also sparing no effort to bite his body, and the two sides fought very fiercely.
Zhang Yang jumped before me with the rest of the guys, but I was the last, but just as I was about to jump, I suddenly thought of the design of the mechanism hidden in the corner by me and Huang Shuai, once I went out, it was not so easy to come back, the secret passage of the mechanism here has been destroyed by explosives, and the next time I come in, I may not have a life to get out, and,
Thinking of this, I immediately gathered my feet, quickly ran to the position of the sarcophagus, threw away a layer of soil on the surface with my hands, and then ran back with it, but just when I wanted to go down, the group of corpse insects had actually finished the battle, looking at the white bones of the skeleton not far away, my heart was cold.
Because in this way, not only me is dangerous, but also those under the cave will be very dangerous, unless they have already found the rat hole and managed to escape.
I looked at the black pressure on the other side, my legs trembled involuntarily, and I said in my heart that this fortune teller is really a cheat, isn't Lao Tzu about to hang up?
The corpse insects moved very fast, but they didn't seem to see me, because I saw them start to crawl towards the mouth of the hole, I could only stand in the dark and pray to the heavens, hoping that they had found the mouse hole, and at this moment, I suddenly thought of the box I was holding in my hand, which was the design of the mechanism treasured by the royal family for thousands of years, and this Lixiangyuan secret room was the foundation of the Huang family, and the secret passage of the mechanism here was the work of the Huang family's painstaking efforts, so, should this drawing be here?
Thinking of this, I also cared about your morality, and immediately opened the seal, but what made me curious was that in addition to the seal, there was no lock on this box, and I couldn't get the essentials for a long time, and if I didn't open it, I couldn't get the things inside.
In a hurry, it suddenly occurred to me that there was a mechanism called Yin and Yang lock in ancient times, this kind of lock does not need to be the mechanism is the box itself, relying on the number of rotations and the order to achieve the purpose, and the working principle is like the current combination lock.
Sure enough, I found a place similar to a combination lock in the lower left corner of the box, but instead of numbers, it was a different pattern.
There are more than 20 patterns on a gear, and what's even worse is that there are eighteen buckles hidden in this row, if this is calculated, I am tired to death and may not be able to untie it, even if it is untied, they may also be gnawed away by corpse insects.
I told myself to be calm, these patterns must have a pattern, so I stood under a wall lamp with the box, with the help of the light source to see them more clearly, but I couldn't see any clue, because these patterns are so strange, they are simply randomly painted, not to mention the law, but I don't know what it is.
