Chapter 34: Sword Light Array (Medium) (Revised Version)
Grasshoppers are definitely someone who can "surprise" me at all times.
The ashlar bricks under his left foot were slightly dented, and at first glance, it was touching the mechanism, and Jiang Yuan and I reacted first to whether the tens of thousands of white feather arrows in the crossbow array would instantly shoot us into hedgehogs.
Standing on both sides of the grasshopper on the left and right, he protected him with his body and told him that without our orders, that foot should never leave the stone bricks and not move in any way.
The grasshopper was visibly frightened, too, and beads of sweat ran down his temples to his cheeks, and he only wiped them off with his hands, his eyes fixed on his left foot.
There was silence all around.
I crouched on the ground and took a closer look at the sunken stone brick, gasped, stood up, patted the grasshopper on the shoulder, and said, "You're lucky. ”
As soon as the grasshopper heard this, the nervous mood disappeared without a trace in an instant, and said, "If you belong to a pig, your life is good." ”
I snorted, looked at him with a smile on my shoulders, and said, "I mean, you don't have to die in pain." ”
The grasshopper looked at me with its mouth wide open exaggeratedly, and said, "Boss, what are you kidding, this place can't joke with your life." ”
Jiang Yuan nodded at him very sincerely, and said, "He is right, as soon as your feet leave, we will be completely wiped out, and in my opinion, the top priority is to sacrifice you." ”
This is the first time I've seen Jiang Yuan joking, but the joke exudes a bleakness, as if it is an optimistic attitude that sprouts after despair.
The grasshopper was originally skeptical of my words, but Jiang Yuan also said so, and the grasshopper was naturally convinced, and he was about to cry when he blinked his eyes.
Jiang Yuan and I looked at each other, looked at each other and smiled, and I saw in his eyes what I was thinking - Huangquan Dao.
After all, we are still being calculated.
The so-called, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, if we have the life to get out alive, I think, Jiang Yuan will definitely not let him go. It's just that this Huangquan Road is the ghost road leading to the Netherworld Palace in the specifications of the tomb in the entrance, and the living will die.
"What do you think of?" I asked him.
"Just like you." There was never a superfluous word in his answer.
"Things have come to this point, can you tell me the real reason why you want Jin Feng Zhaowen Yubi?"
Jiang Yuan's eyes were level with me, and I couldn't see any desire in his indifferent eyes, which was completely different from how he felt when he met me in Panjiayuan before.
"Rise from the dead."
He said these four words lightly, and the wild fantasy made me feel that I was simply killing myself by following him, but I don't know why, I actually believed it from the bottom of my heart.
"Since you don't want to say it, I won't force it." I stood there and thought for a moment, then continued, "Whatever his intentions, in a word, we must get out alive. ”
Although he didn't understand the meaning of the conversation between us, he still cooperated with me and said, "For the sake of Brother Dajun, we also have to get out alive." ”
Jiang Yuan nodded silently, mentioning Liang Jun, not to mention Jiang Yuan, even I felt that my nose was sour, tears were rolling in my eyes, and I couldn't bear it.
Jiang Yuan and I combined, and we both felt that it was certainly true that this stone brick was a mechanism, but it was difficult to determine exactly where it controlled.
We hypothesized several scenarios, one of which was the most likely, and that was gravity crushing.
This kind of mechanism is not uncommon, it has been encountered in tombs before, after the mechanism is activated, there will be thousands of pounds of boulders on the walls and above the head from all directions, and the people or things trapped in the formation will eventually be crushed into pictures, and ten will die.
We told the grasshopper about this possibility, but unexpectedly, the grasshopper immediately breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it, in his words, as long as it is not a crossbow array with ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, other comers will not refuse.
What the grasshopper said is actually right, it takes a while for the trapped person to die after gravity crushes, as long as we find a way to escape during this time, we are safe.
I took out a very small hammer from my backpack, this kind of copper hammer was specially customized by me a few years ago, the hammer itself can withstand thousands of pounds of gravity, and there is a jack hidden in the handle, which is a necessary object for the next bucket.
I asked the Grasshopper to estimate the gravity of the stone brick on which he was stepping on, and after a moment of contemplation, the Grasshopper said, "The third piece in the right rear, move it over and place it on the stone brick in my place, and if it goes well, we can use this time to escape." ”
Jiang Yuan and I did the same, but how to do a good job of handing over human feet and stones was quite not easy.
"Boss Jiang, you hold on to the grasshopper, the grasshopper, you listen to my command to recycle the force little by little, and you must ensure that the stone and your feet are on the same level."
The grasshopper nodded in agreement very seriously.
This process was full of dangers, and there were several times when the gnats almost fell, but fortunately, Jiang Yuan had been supporting him, and I was carrying this big stone little by little on the stone bricks, and when everything was over, the gnats were already sweating, and my arms were temporarily sore.
"It's finally all right, boss, you're really okay." The grasshopper sat on the ground and gave me a thumbs up.
I smiled at him and said, "I don't need you to praise me, just don't get me into trouble in the future." ”
The two of us sat facing each other and were ready to rest for a while, but Jiang Yuan stood silently about two or three meters in front of us, he didn't move, as if he had instantly turned into a sculpture.
"What are you looking at?" I leaned over and tapped him on the shoulder.
Jiang Yuan glanced back at me, then pointed to the "miserable white" in front of him expressionlessly and said to me: "Brother Fang Zi, the sword formation has been activated, look over there." ”
I looked in the direction of his finger, "What's over there?" It's not a white light yet, it's the same as this one. ”
Jiang Yuan shook his head and said, "It's different, you take a closer look." ”
I looked at it with my eyes open for a moment, and suddenly I felt that something was wrong.
The soft white light is mixed with a lot of harsh and uncomfortable white reflections, which shows that there is a lot of metal over there.
"Walk around and see"
As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of iron chains rubbing against each other not far away, and at the same time felt that the ground was constantly shaking, under the violent shaking, the white crystal stone that was originally in the position where the gnats had just stepped on rolled to the side, and the uneven force on the surface of the stone bricks caused the crushing gravity mechanism to open instantly, and the rumbling sound told us that in addition to the stone bricks under our feet, the rest of the directions have begun to merge rapidly, at this moment, the three of us are like prey trapped in the cage, dangerous, and are walking towards us step by step.
"What should I do?" The gnats leaned against the rock wall and shouted at us.
"Run, get out of here as fast as you can." I yelled at him and my feet were not idle, the speed of the 100-meter sprint made me the first to reach the edge of the sword formation, and the scene in front of me made me feel like I was going backwards.
On both sides of the passage, the white crystal stones were stacked irregularly on both sides, and at the same time, in the middle of the white crystal stones, I also saw countless sharp swords.
These swords were all bare, and the murderous aura found more and more under the cold light.
