Chapter 201 The Ancient Tomb at the Bottom of the Pond 6

After dealing with a few corpse figurines, Lin Yuxi, the thin man, and the brute bull and I, according to the memory of the thin man, began to walk towards the place where the stone chamber was found.

As mentioned earlier, after the thin man encountered the corpse figurines, they almost panicked to escape, in this dark and complex labyrinthine mountain, how could they find their way back so easily?

So, after forking the two passages, the thin man scratched his head embarrassedly and said to us, "Well, it seems that I am lost and can't find my way back to the stone room."

There's not much I can do about it. Blame the thin man? How could it be! Suppose you let me go back to the waterhole inside the mountain, so to speak, along the way we came here. It's not impossible for me to find it, but it takes a lot of work. After all, the terrain here is a bit complicated, and you can see where we are now, there will be two forks in each road. After a few forks in the road, will you still know which one you took earlier?

So, in desperation. After Lin Yuxi's suggestion, every time we hit a fork in the road, we would leave an arrow mark on the stone wall next to it. That way, when we return the way we came, we won't be unable to find our way. And it also helps us verify a fact. That is, whether the terrain here is like a real maze, so that people can't find the right way and get lost in it.

The labyrinth, we all know it all. That is, every lane is exactly the same, and almost every lane has only one intersection, and when you think the next intersection is the right exit, you look over there and you see as if you have just walked through it.

Therefore, Lin Yuxi's method is also one of the most common methods used to identify mazes.

After leaving a few markings at the fork in the road, I was a little out of breath. We're all going to be in trouble like this, because none of us expected this to be the case until we came in here. Therefore, the food and water that everyone carries are only enough for a day.

Now in this situation, a few hours have passed. We didn't even see the shadow of the coffin, so we didn't say anything. If a day passes and we still don't find anything, the consequences are unimaginable, and it may lead to death.

"Don't worry, in this environment, we must always stay calm and not let the environment affect our judgment."

When Lin Yuxi saw me, the thin man, and the brute cow, they were all a little impetuous and disappointed, and immediately spoke out to enlighten us.

Hearing this, I took a deep breath and suppressed the depression and impetuousness in my heart as much as possible. He patted himself on the cheek and tried to keep himself calm. I was about to speak, but suddenly my feet went soft, and I almost didn't fall to the ground, thanks to my timely reaction, a one-legged vertical jump to avoid this embarrassing fall.

Why did I get so weak on my feet that I almost fell to the ground? Is there a problem with my leg? No!

It turned out that my walking legs, my right leg somehow, stepped on a stone brick on the ground, and suddenly, the stone brick automatically concave, causing me to be unaware for a while, and my center of gravity was unbalanced, which made me almost fall to the ground.

"What's the situation? The bricks on the ground are loose?"

The thin man looked at the stone brick I stepped on, and wanted to step forward and take a closer look at it with some curiosity. At this moment, there was a sudden 'click' sound around us. It's like the sound of a chain that hasn't been lubricated for a long time, and it comes to people's ears and makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Listening to this extremely uncomfortable sound, I somehow came back to the corpses I had seen in the passage earlier. Mori Han's white bones were stuck with many metal crossbow arrows. The half-meter-long, two-finger-thick metal crossbow arrow must be launched with a mechanism. How much effort would it take to launch it with human power alone?

Thinking about this, I have a very uneasy feeling in my heart. Because my intuition tells me that these sounds are the sounds of the mechanism activating. As for what the mechanism will look like next, we will only know until it is fully operational. Before it was fully operational, we had to get out of here at once, out of this fork in the road.

"Quick! Get out of this passage and get back to the previous fork in the road! These sounds are the sounds of the mechanism in the mausoleum, the sound of activation. ”

As the mechanism activates, the sound becomes denser and smoother. I yelled, hurriedly grabbed Lin Yuxi's hand, and ran back. Seeing this, the thin man and the bull followed us and ran swiftly towards the fork in the road we had marked.

It was also at this moment that on the stone walls on both sides of the place where we were standing before, there were suddenly fist-sized stone caves, and then we heard a 'boom' sound behind us, and then we saw a metal arrow half a meter long and two fingers thick, shooting out of the stone cave with a powerful sound of breaking through the air.

Due to our timely reaction, we left the scope of metal arrows. As a result, the metal arrows simply clanked against the stone walls opposite each other.

"Nima! If we react slowly, we will all have to evolve a second time and become a new generation of hedgehog kings. ”

After watching the mechanism activate, we first stepped on the place where the mechanism was activated, and the stone walls on both sides of it were filled with rusty metal arrows. The thin man lay down at the fork in the road with a frightened face, staring closely at the metal arrows with his searchlight, shooting through the stone wall and nailing them five inches into the stone wall.

Admittedly, the thin man was not wrong at all. These metal arrows, even a stone wall can shoot through five inches, and the consequences of shooting at a person's body are completely unimaginable. It's no wonder that the corpses we encountered earlier were covered with those metal arrows, and they were definitely the same as us, and they touched the mechanism and were directly shot into a hornet's nest.

In fact, this kind of mechanism can basically be encountered in many ancient tombs, especially the ancient tombs of aristocratic families. But unfortunately, this is the first time we have seen an ancient tomb with an offensive mechanism like this. The purpose of this offensive mechanism is very simple, that is, to protect the mausoleum from outsiders. Anyone with impure motives who wants to take the contents of the tomb away, as long as the level is not high and touches the mechanism, then congratulations, you can accompany the tomb owner forever.

Luckily, we were lucky enough. This tomb has been around for thousands of years, and everything inside has rusted, making the mechanism less sensitive, which gives us a chance to react and escape. Otherwise, it will be put in the meeting when the mechanism has just been completed. Even if we step on the mechanism and react, we basically can't escape the shooting range of the metal arrow.

"Well, the thin man is right." As I spoke, I patted the dust off my body and said, "This tomb is stranger than anything we've experienced before. Thousands of years old tombs, the mechanisms inside are still functioning. And you look at the design of this ancient tomb, all kinds of terrain is complicated. Looking at the current mechanism, we have every reason to believe that everything here is man-made. ”

"I'm a good girl! In the past, I often heard my predecessors say that the more famous the ancient tombs, the more valuable things they are. Now it seems that there are so many famous halls in this ancient tomb, does it mean that if we find the coffin, the goods will be more abundant than any before?"

As the thin man spoke, his mouth couldn't help but flow a little bit of snort. It seems that he must have thought of the scene of himself lying in the pile of money.

In fact, this is all human nature. Although the old people say that the money is not brought in life, and it is not taken away in death. But in the short few decades you have lived in the world, who dares to say that you don't want money and don't want to have a place on the list of the richest people in the world? So, for those who are greedy for money, we have nothing to complain about. It's just that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. If you do something unreasonable for the sake of money, then you must not do it.

The practice of taking out burial objects from other people's tombs like ours can be said to be hurtful and reasonable, or it can be said to be for the sake of future generations. How so? Digging people's graves and making people's families unable to live at peace after death is indeed a hurtful thing, and if your life is not good enough, it is likely to die because of this. However, the tomb was dug out so that everything inside could be brought to light again, and future generations could study the living customs of the tomb owner at that time. This is not a bad thing.

So, it depends on how you deal with the inverted fight. Anyway, everyone who is fighting thinks they are righteous. Because of them, those antiques that have been buried in the ground for many years can be rediscovered, so as to show their value to the world. What modern people know about the blue and white vases of the Yuan Dynasty, the ceramics of the Song Dynasty, the calligraphy and paintings of the Ming Dynasty, etc., how many of them are taken out of the ancient tombs, and how many have been circulated in the hands of the world. Everyone should have a number in their hearts.

With the crossbow bolt trap in front of us, we no longer dare to walk in the passage with a big grin. Every step of the way is carefully inspected on the ground and the stone walls on both sides, for fear that if you are not careful, you will step on or touch something, so as to activate the mechanism in the ancient tomb.

Luckily, for the next short while, we didn't run into any traps. At first we thought it was luck, but then we realized that it didn't have much to do with luck. Instead, most of the mechanisms in the tomb have already been triggered, leaving only a few that have not been touched.

I walked through the passage and walked through an unknown number of forks in the road. The thin man suddenly cried out excitedly, only to see him pointing to a passage and shouting, "Look! Promenade! We've found the stone chamber over there!"

Well? Following the direction of the thin man's finger, I looked at it with a searchlight. Isn't it, a one-man wide corridor just a corner away from us.

Seeing the appearance of the corridor, the thin man and the brute bull were a little fust, and they just wanted to trot over. Because they had been here once and knew that there was a stone chamber inside, they thought that there must be some hard goods inside. So, after being depressed for so long, I knew that I finally had a reward. Can you still hold back your mood?

"Wait!" Seeing this, I had to stop the two of them. In the puzzled look on the look of the thin man and the brute bull, he said solemnly: "Although you have been here once, it does not mean that this place is safe. Don't forget, it's full of traps we don't know about, and the zombies were dug out of here. Therefore, we should be cautious and vigilant at all times. ”

"Uh... Brother Shugui is right, let's just walk with you. ”

The thin man snorted and scratched his scalp a little embarrassed. It seems to apologize for his recklessness.
