Chapter 31: The Iron Crossbow
Tofu also felt guilty and said, "I didn't mean to, but now that the doors are open, what should we do?" ”
I thought about it for a while and said, "This Yin Yang Gate doesn't have any markings, we have to choose sooner or later, it doesn't matter, let's go and see it first." Tofu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said that he would go to the front to explore the road and make up for it, I was so angry that I dragged the person back and said: "What kind of road to explore, don't give me a fuss, stay honestly in the back." As he spoke, everyone began to walk towards the hole of the black fish, and as soon as they entered the door, the black fish behind them slammed and slammed shut.
All of a sudden, it was pitch black in the tunnel, and we had to turn on the flashlights. Tofu tried to push the black fish door that had been closed, the door did not move, and said deflated: "This technology is too advanced, and it can actually be sensitive, it will not be closed in the morning and not closed at night, and the door will be closed as soon as you come in, what a fool." ”
I said in my heart: If you are not advanced, can you be worthy of my dead father?
Zhen Rui said: "Don't worry about this door, if it doesn't work when the time comes, just blow it up, or go forward first." ”
While talking, everyone flashlights forward, this tunnel is narrow, but it can also allow two people to pass side by side, a while, there are some more wall holes on the two walls, boxy, there is some black ash on the wall, it seems to be a fire hole for lighting, it is impossible for workers to work in the dark, so it is normal to have fire holes, on the contrary, if there is no abnormal.
Because of this, we didn't pay much attention to these fire holes, who knew that after walking a few steps, everyone's ears suddenly remembered a click, this sound is too familiar to us, it is the sound of the organ Qidong timing and operation.
Zhong Gong exclaimed: "Who stepped on the mechanism?" Everyone looked at their feet together, and saw that the ground under their feet was very smooth, and there was no change. At this time, I suddenly realized that Tofu's hand was actually placed in one of the fire holes!
Is it tofu?
I was furious and said, "Idiot, what are you doing? ”
Tofu hurriedly retracted his hand and said, "I saw a black thing inside this fire hole, so I ...... it" As he spoke, his so-called black thing suddenly stretched out from the fire hole, and he saw that it was a black iron cylinder, like an old-fashioned single-barrel shotgun. As soon as he saw this thing, Zhen Rui immediately said, "Protect your head and run!" "This thing is nothing else, it's an iron crossbow!
Unlike ordinary dark crossbows, iron crossbows have a long body and a large firing power, which can almost shoot people through each other, and once hit, there is no possibility of survival. Where would everyone have thought that there would be an iron crossbow hidden in the most common fire hole in the tomb, and they were so frightened that they hugged their heads and ran, and at this time, there was a sound of rattling in the tomb, but it did not hit us. I couldn't help but turn my head to look, it turned out that it was the white chicken that threw Li Fat out as a human flesh pad.
Because the body of the white chopping chicken is not good, so we did not let him be responsible, we still have thick equipment behind us to protect him, but he has no protective measures, it is estimated that it is for this reason that he let Li Fatzi go out.
The messenger is really different, although Li Fatzi has become a little weak due to his proximity to the Dragon Lake before, but compared to us ordinary people, he is obviously much stronger.
I saw that he reached out very quickly and took those iron crossbows, and if he couldn't catch them, he blocked them with his body, and after a while, a round of iron crossbows was launched, and Li Fatzi was also shot into a hornet's nest, his expression was distorted, and he was in pain, but he couldn't die. Fortunately, because the iron crossbow was very powerful, there was only one shot, and everyone did not dare to move again, so they quickly stopped in place.
At this time, Li Fatzi approached us step by step, he had more than a dozen iron crossbows inserted in front of him, his expression was painful, his movements were slow, and a burst of purple-red special blood flowed out of his body. Tofu gasped, he couldn't even say anything with guilt, he reached out to help Li Fatzi pull out the crossbow, and after a toss, everyone was sweating profusely, not tired, completely scared.
Li Fatzi pulled out the iron crossbow, and he also looked dying and in pain, and the white chicken had a gloomy face, and his eyes spewed fire when he looked at the tofu. Tofu felt so guilty that he almost didn't cry when he shrugged his head. At this moment, Wen Min suddenly shook his head and said; "This has nothing to do with Xiaodou, you blame him."
Bai Choji said gloomily: "Isn't it the mechanism he provoked?" What do we mean by mistakenly blaming him? ”
At this time, Zhong Gong also said: "I also feel that something is wrong, you said, if the iron crossbow was attracted because of touching the mechanism in the fire hole, it would be too wrong." The trap is to kill the tomb robbers, and sometimes if you take a wrong step, it will touch the trap. But what grave robber, you think, would have nothing to do with poking a fire hole? If the trap is in the fire hole, won't it always be able to activate? Therefore, I estimate that it is not Brother Dou who really touched the mechanism. ”
As soon as Zhong Gong said this, I also reacted, if the mechanism is really in the fire hole, this design will be too failed, because except for unreliable people like Tofu, but all normal tomb robbers will not move blindly, so that the mechanism does not even have a chance to launch, wouldn't it become an ornament?
Wen Min nodded immediately, saying that she had been paying attention to the fire holes around her all the way, probably because of the professionalism of the police, she was very observant of her surroundings, and Tofu was walking behind her, and she didn't see the black thing that Tofu said at all.
In other words, the mechanism in the fire hole has actually been quietly attacking, but we don't know it, and it happened to be discovered by Tofu in advance. Speaking of this, Wen Min said again: "If it weren't for Xiaodou, we wouldn't have known that an organ would have been activated, and we wouldn't even have time to take precautions at that time, so I'm afraid the consequences would be unimaginable." ”
Zhong Gong palpitated and said: "From this point of view, this time Brother Dou discovered the mechanism in advance, which is a meritorious service. ”
Tofu was washed away by Wen Min, and immediately raised his head and chest, saying, "You can live now, it's all my credit!" I don't know if I'm grateful, just now one by one was so fierce, it's the same as wanting to kill, I use two middle fingers to despise you! ”
It seems that we can't stay in this place for long, and we have been in good order all the way, and we have not touched anything else, but the mechanism is still activated naturally, so I guess the mechanism is probably under our feet. As soon as we entered, the black fish door closed automatically, probably because there is a load-bearing mechanism underground, which is activated by the weight of guò. In this way, as long as our feet are still on the ground, we may activate other mechanisms at any time, which is really dangerous.
As soon as I told everyone about this idea, the guy named Shen Hao said, "If the mechanism has been activated once before, this place will definitely leave traces." Now it seems that another group of people must have chosen Whitefish, let's ...... Eighty percent of them are wrong. As he said this, he glanced at the tofu. Tofu's newly raised head retracted, his eyes rolling, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
When Zhong Gong heard this, he said: "If this road is wrong, then we can't go any further, I think, it's better to go back and find a way to open the white fish." ”
Tofu felt a little aggrieved, and muttered: "Maybe another path is more dangerous, you have to have confidence in yourself, is it true that the path chosen by the dumb man is the right one, and the path we choose is the wrong one?" Zhong Gong shrugged his shoulders and said; I didn't say that, but ...... Didn't you say that Wu Shui had some information about this tomb? ”
I shook my head and said, "That's just a speculation on our part. "At this point, everyone can only accept their fate, with my understanding of Puzhen, as long as you enter his urn, don't think about going out safely, and now if you go back, I don't know what weirdness will be born. Whether this path is right or wrong, no one knows, rather than speculating about the risk of retreating, it is better to go one way to the dark.
After everyone finished discussing, they immediately stopped hesitating, got up and continued to move forward, this time they were more energetic, and they did not dare to miss any details, but fortunately they did not swim any dark crossbow this time, all the way down, they were very calm, and after a long time of calm, everyone felt a little abnormal in their hearts.
I've always been at the forefront, after all, this time it's my business, and Zhen Rui and the others are completely here to help, there is no reason for them to jump in front of the thunder, in the ancient cemetery palace, it is a very dangerous thing to open the way in front, but in the same way, only the most powerful characters in the team can be qualified for this position, such as mute, most of the time, I just see his back, because no matter what the situation, he is always at the forefront.
At this moment, although I am not the most powerful in the team, but I am the most responsible, I am walking in front at this time, and I have been calm, but I have no bottom in my heart, I only think that the corpse fairy will not be so kind, on the contrary, there must be a demon, is there any more powerful moth behind?
How do I feel like I'm walking into a trap?
Just thinking about it, suddenly, at the junction of light and darkness, one thing was coldly revealed: it was a person.
I saw that the man was tall, and he seemed to be holding something in his hand, standing straight in front of everyone, at first glance, I thought it was a zongzi jumping out, but two steps forward, the light unfolded, and we found that it was a red figurine.
This figurine is very strange, holding a tray with a square pattern in his hand, and there are pieces of one finger long and three finger wide brands on the plate, counting them carefully, there are a total of eight pieces. Tofu scratched his head and said, "What is this figurine doing with a straight pestle in the center?" Could it be that you want us to turn over the cards? ”
