Chapter Seventy-Six: The Orb Is Hard to Find

The old ghost picked up two stones and threw one of them at the one he had just stepped on. ∈, .23≡wx. Suddenly, the stone shook. I only heard two "whoosh, whoosh" sounds, and two cold flashes of light. Again, the saw-like thing that just now scurried past us, both vertically and horizontally. This time, we were already prepared in advance, so we could see it more clearly than just now. It was indeed a sharp weapon for life, not a saw but also a sharp metal object.

The old ghost looked back at us, expressing his surprise and caution. Of course, Qian Cheng and I thought he was very witty, so we nodded at him, and then gave him a thumbs up.

The old ghost turned around and continued his experiment.

I saw that the old ghost threw another stone in his hand next to the floating stone just now. This time, there was no unusual noise in the entire stone chamber. It immediately dawned on us that the life-seeking cutting mechanism was originally related to the stones on the ground. That's simple, just don't step on these stones, and you can be safe.

At this time, the old ghost stood up and said to us, "See? As long as you don't step on these stones, you'll be fine. ”

Qian Cheng and I nodded understandingly, indicating understanding. I stretched out my hand and pulled the old ghost up, ready to set out in the direction of the two stone statues.

So, the three of us lit it with the torches in our hands and carefully watched the stones under our feet move forward. Before leaving, the old ghost picked up two more stones. Seeing his move, we don't really understand. However, he must have his reasons for doing this, and Qian Chengcheng and I didn't ask any more questions.

The old ghost volunteered to be at the forefront. My heart is full of concerns. I looked at him. The old ghost waved his hand, indicating that he had no problem at all. Seeing his resolute appearance, I had no choice but to acquiesce.

If you look closely, there is still a difference between the stone bricks under your feet: normal stone bricks are trampled on a little more, and the surface is relatively smooth, and they are tightly fitted. It may be the person who built this pyramid, stepping back and forth. The stone bricks that connect the mechanism are relatively rough. Of course, it is relatively obvious from the gap between it and the normal stone block next to it.

The three of us walked cautiously like this. Extremely nervous. Arguably. The fate of the three people is in the hands of the old ghost. Just now he has seen the power of this mechanism, as long as he takes a wrong step, the three of them will immediately go to the western sky.

This mechanism is precisely designed. It's impossible to find a dead end. Because. Vertical and horizontal are unavoidable. If the trap is triggered. How many pieces we will be cut into is unknown.

The old ghost walked extremely carefully, in order to save energy. We just walked where the old ghost walked. I thought about going their separate ways before, but when I think about it, I don't think it's appropriate: because if that's the case, no matter who of the three people triggers the mechanism, the three of them will have to die without a place to bury. Moreover, if you go separately, it increases the probability of triggering the mechanism. Rather than this, it is better to let the old ghost open the way in front alone.

The old ghost has a heavy responsibility in front, so he is naturally extremely cautious. Although Qian Cheng and I are a little less stressed, we don't dare to slack off. Because if the old ghost didn't make a mistake, but we inadvertently triggered the mechanism, then the death would be too wronged! I don't know what happened to the two of them, but I was sweating on my forehead and back.

After a long time, we finally came to safety. I raised my watch and looked at it, and it was less than a hundred meters away, and I walked for half an hour!

In normal times, it would only take a minute or two. It's still the old saying "be careful to sail a ship for ten thousand years", in such a sinister environment, there is nothing wrong with being cautious. Probably because we were too nervous, the three of us actually had a feeling of prostration. From my own feelings, I was even more tired than the "stone crack escape" just now. No wonder people often say, "Mental words are more tiring than physical work!" ”。 It's a lot of brains for us to pick and choose.

The reason why I say that this is a safe place is because the difference between "color" and "gap" is gone. The stone bricks on the entire floor look the same. For the sake of prudence, the old ghost used the stone in his hand to test again, and then dared to relax. Qian Cheng and I couldn't help but admire the old ghost's approach: I didn't know what he was doing picking up stones just now, but I thought about it, it was prescient. In this regard, Qian Cheng and I are still inferior to him.

The old ghost is also overdrawn at this time, because he is at the forefront and has the most pressure. By the time I was almost recovered, he was still resting, and he didn't care about any rare treasures.

Feeling that I was almost restored, I stood up and wanted to check the night pearl in the hands of the two stone statues.

Qian Cheng saw me stand up, and he also stood up with me. I looked back at the old ghost and asked him how he was doing. The old ghost smiled bitterly and reluctantly stood up.

The old ghost saw that we were waiting for him, and he was a little relieved. I'm not for any "fair distribution of money", I just think: if there is any mechanism in the pearl this night, the three of us can advance and retreat together. Otherwise, the mechanism will be triggered, leaving the old ghost or us to escape, which is unreasonable. I always believe that if we come in together, we will be able to go out together. As long as we advance and retreat together, even if we can't get out, we don't have any regrets.

Seeing that the old ghost came to my side, I reached out and prepared to take the pearl of the night. Before reaching out, I looked left and right at Qian Cheng and the old ghost, signaling them to improvise. He said, "I'm ready to start, everyone be smart." ”

The old ghost and Qian Cheng nodded, indicating that they were ready.

I put my hand into the hand of the stone statue to take the bright pearl of the night. As soon as he touched it, he felt a bone-piercing cold air hit him, and instinctively retracted his hand. The old ghost and Qian Cheng beside him were naturally frightened, and they both took a step back.

The old ghost asked me, "What's wrong?" What's the problem? Is it hot? ”

I shook my head and said, "No, it's cold!" ”

"!" The old ghost scolded disdainfully, expressing helplessness at my reaction. As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and take the pearl of the night.

I'm worried that the old ghost is acting recklessly, how dare he let him take it? He hurriedly opened his hand and said, "Get up, let me come." ”

The old ghost reluctantly withdrew his hand and said, "You're so long-handed." ”

When each of them was ready, I reached for the palm of the stone statue again. This time, I was quick enough to pick up the pearl of the night. As soon as he wanted to check, he was bumped into by Qian Cheng behind him with great force. I didn't stand firm on my feet, so I fell to the ground with the old ghost.

Just as he was about to turn around and ask Qian Cheng what his nerves were, he heard Qian Cheng shouting: "Lie down!" ”

Then, there was a "whoosh, whoosh......" cold arrow whistling overhead...... (To be continued......)
