Chapter 45: The Fierce Array of Arrows

"But." I was puzzled and asked, "Even a bow and arrow can't have such a rate of fire, such an attack power, these armors can hardly stop shooting, and besides, why does this arrow seem to be inexhaustible." ”

"I don't know if you have heard of the Zhuge crossbow, which is said to have been invented by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period, which can fire ten arrows at a time, and the device in this armor is almost the same as its principle, but it is more delicate and more lethal. This kind of device has really never been recorded in any historical classics, and even in today's society, this kind of cold weapon with such a fast attack speed is afraid that it will cause a sensation. It is really hard to imagine that the owner of the tomb could find such a skilled craftsman to make such a weapon that transcends the ages. ”

I saw that the big head seemed to understand the principle of this thing very well, so I hurriedly asked, "So, do you know how to crack it?" ”

Seeing that I was asking such a question, the big head touched the back of his head with embarrassment and shame, "Mosquito, what do you think of me, I'm just a scholar who has read a few more books." You have to ask the fat man, he likes to tinker with these things the most. ”

The fat man sat on the bridge, quietly listening to the introduction of the big head, while staring intently at the armor, and suddenly said, "So, the trigger point to control that armor is the stone brick I just stepped on, activated the mechanism, and started to link the whole body from the soles of his feet, big head, am I right?" ”

"Yes, that's it."

"Is that as long as you don't step on the ground, you can pass unharmed?"

"Uh. Theoretically, that's true, but we're not birds, so we can still fly over? ”

"No, no, I mean, there are actually two ways to go, either find a way not to step on the ground, or destroy the armor," the fat man explained apologetically, realizing that the question he had just asked was a bit stupid.

Destruction? This seems to be possible, the launcher is all installed in the armor, and the launch port is the mouth, and it is enough to seal the mouth or blow up the device in the body. I don't think the owner of the tomb would have imagined that in a few years, there would be such a thing as gunpowder.

I immediately explained my thoughts to the others, and after discussing it, this was basically the best way to go, but the question was, how do I get close to those armors without touching the mechanism?

Just when everyone was suffering from a good plan, scratching the brains like thinking about the method, a muffled sound of the vultures frightened us like a frightened bird jumped back, and saw that there were no weapons flying towards this side, only to settle down a little, who wanted to look at the front hall, a corpse appeared out of thin air on the ground, it was really a corpse, the flesh began to decay, emitting a foul smell.

Just now it was the sound of him falling from a high altitude, so the answer was obvious, this person fell from the roof of the tomb. Thinking of this, I immediately turned on the miner's lamp and shone it up, looking overhead, several of them also took advantage of the light to raise their heads, I don't know if it was because the miner's lamp had been used for too long and there was no electricity, or because the tomb was highly scary.

"That's... What is that, I get dizzy to see. "The monkey was the most powerless against the dense stuff, and he fainted in a few seconds.

"That ......," the big head said as if he had lost his confidence, "I don't think it's a super repeater." You see, that size of a hole is just enough to allow arrows to shoot. ”

"Damn, big head, are you serious? So much more overhead? If I accidentally activate this mechanism, I won't be enough for a cat with nine lives. "The fat man was a little incoherent in fear.

"Guys, let's not talk about that, aren't you curious at all about how that corpse got up there in the first place? There's no way he'll be able to fly on his own. Taro reminds us to focus on the issue at hand.

Indeed, this front hall is very strange, obviously there is nothing worth such a lot of effort to protect at a glance, but one after another to find important mechanisms, in front of which there is a corpse that fell from it for some reason, it is really incredible.

"Judging by the extent of the decomposing corpse, it has been dead for about a week, and it seems that this is not the first time that our ancient tomb has been visited today." Taro said.

Seven days? I calculated the time, and it seemed like a few of us had been going around underground for about two days. That is to say, this man was only a little earlier than us, but why did he die so strangely?

"I'm afraid there will be some strange mechanism that can send people up there." The monkey whispered a guess.

"It shouldn't be possible, this is not reasonable, the height of this tomb is at least more than twenty meters, more than a thousand years ago, no one was able to create a mechanism with such ability, unless it was bombarded with cannons, but in that era, where did the cannons come from. I guess it's probably some kind of animal that took it in its mouth. ”

"Birds?"

"More like a spider! Do you remember how the ghost-faced spider caught its prey in the dark tunnel before? How similar it is now. ”

"Damn, no. In this way, in addition to facing these two layers of arrow traps, we are still on guard against the spiders that appear from time to time. The owner of this tomb is too ruthless, if I find him, I will have to smash his coffin. The fat man scolded angrily.

I also felt that if I wanted to pass through this front hall, it seemed like an impossible task, and the result of breaking through was estimated to be death in addition to death.

The group of people suddenly became gloomy, disappointment lingered around, no one had the strength to speak again, for a while, it was not to go, there was no way to retreat, I really didn't know how to be good.

After a while, the smoker got up and walked back, and I thought he was retreating and ready to retreat, but then he walked back with a dozen stone bricks in his arms.

"Anyway, let's test if the thing on top of the tomb is a huge array of arrows, if not, we just need to find a way to destroy the armor and still have a glimmer of hope to break through. If the misfortune is true, then find another way out as soon as possible. The smoker said and threw a stone brick in his hand far away. The bricks were much harder than I had imagined, and I thought they would shatter if they were thrown to the ground, but they didn't. The first brick was thrown out, and there was no movement. In the second piece, there was no movement. When we threw it until the eighth piece, there was finally a "click" sound, and the two nearby armors also fired arrows in response, but there was no movement on the top of the tomb, but just when we were glad that the top of the tomb was not the kind of large mechanism as expected, thousands of arrows like a huge rain curtain appeared as if out of thin air, and the arrows continued to hit the ground without missing a sound.

I saw that none of the eight stones thrown in front of me were spared, and it can be said that the whole army was annihilated, under the arrows in the sky. It didn't last a second before it was torn apart, and there were no bones left.
