Chapter 719: Mercy to His Subordinates
However, the female ghost sends this kind of crossbow arrow also has a big disadvantage, that is, it is not lethal at all. Because this kind of crossbow arrow is so thin, even if it penetrates the human body, it will not be able to cause much damage to it, and even after pulling it out, it may not even shed a drop of blood.
The only way to make up for this shortcoming is to use poison, as long as the poison is smeared on the female ghost's hair, when this extremely thin crossbow arrow pierces deep into the human body, the poison will quickly take effect, and the person who is hit by the arrow will definitely die.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang knew that Chen Benzhong's action to stop Liu Cong just now was very correct, if he hadn't stopped it in time, if Liu Cong had been stabbed by these sharp female ghost hairs when he was turning over the corpse, or if he had let these poisons get on his hands, maybe Liu Cong would have become the same as this team member, and died straight on the ground.
However, he also felt a little strange, this team member's face was ruddy, and he didn't look like he was poisoned at all, such a poison was really unheard of. The most amazing thing is that these poisons have been placed here for more than 300 years, and they can still quickly kill people.
"Cong'er, it's a good thing you didn't climb into the courtyard wall just now, maybe there are also this kind of female ghost crossbow arrows inserted in the courtyard wall, and poison is smeared.
It is also possible that the ground in this courtyard is also full of female ghost hair, if we don't go through the gate, but go directly over the wall to enter, we will be stabbed into the soles of our feet by these female ghost hair. It seems that we still have to find a way to decipher the correct password on this cipher disk. Knowing that the female ghost is powerful, Chen Benzhong said very cautiously.
The place where you can set up a mechanism with female ghost hair is definitely not trivial, and it is no wonder that this small courtyard is not capped at all, because the person who designed it is not afraid that someone will enter over the wall, in that case, there is only one result, that is, the person who climbs into it will definitely die.
Perhaps only when this gate is successfully opened, will the associated mechanism retract the female ghost crossbow arrows laid on the ground in the courtyard. And if you don't have the right activation mechanism, people who jump directly over the wall may not be able to find a place to stay.
"Now it was obvious that when the round cake in the middle was pressed, I remembered the sound of the machine, and it seemed that in order to open this door, you need to enter four correct passwords, and then press the round cake in the center of the disc.
The question is back to the beginning, let's see if we can crack the code to open this door. Chen Benzhong said to everyone.
"At least we've ruled out a wrong answer by now. How many are left? It seems to be 45,499. Yang Lei shrugged his shoulders, glanced at the corpse that fell to the ground, and pointed to the disc on the door and said.
"Godfather, it's not easy to guess the password, I have an idea, you can see if it's okay.
I've just observed, and when the mechanism is activated, only the two dragon heads above are open, and the door is nothing else unusual. If we plug these two holes, won't we be able to stop the launch of the female ghost hair?
Without worries, in the worst-case scenario, we can also try out the correct passwords one by one. Staring at the front of the door, Liu Cong said slowly.
Just now, when Chen Benzhong and Chen Ziyang were studying the female ghost hair, Liu Cong carefully observed it nearby, and he also found more than a dozen female ghost hair crossbow arrows on the ground, in fact, there should be more, but because the vision is very bad, and the female ghost hair is very small, he didn't bother to look for it.
The female ghost hair that was found was only distributed in a small area in front of the small courtyard, and there was no other place at all, and the time for the two faucets to vomit just now was very short, so there should not be many girl ghost hairs, and there is no need to look for it.
It seems that the area covered by this mechanism is not very large, only a small area in front of the courtyard gate, after all, if you want to turn the password disk and enter the password, you can only stand there.
"This method won't work at all, if you plug these two holes, maybe you'll trigger other mechanisms, and maybe the female ghost hair will shoot out from somewhere else." Chen Ziyang shook his head and said to Liu Cong.
"That'...... Then let's find some hard objects as shields, block in front of these two dragon heads, and then you can also try the password at will, the penetration of this kind of female ghost hair is not very strong, there should be no way to penetrate hard objects. Liu Cong still didn't give up, and thought of this method again.
"It still doesn't work, this mechanism seems very simple, and there are a lot of loopholes, but do you think the person who was able to create a female ghost hair and designed this mechanism couldn't think of this?
When this mechanism was first activated just now, the people who designed the mechanism had already shown mercy, otherwise, we would have been here long ago, just like this team member.
It's likely that the designer did this on purpose, leaving the person who opened the mechanism a chance to make a mistake, but only once. In fact, this mechanism was not fully activated just now, and if it is entered incorrectly the second time, this mechanism will not be merciful. ”
"What do you mean by that?" After listening to Chen Ziyang's words, Liu Cong asked very incomprehensibly. Why was Chen Ziyang able to see that this organ had not been fully activated just now, and had already shown mercy?
"Hehe, the reason is very simple, you look there." After Chen Ziyang finished speaking, he turned around and pointed forward. The others looked in the direction he was pointing and found that Chen Ziyang was pointing to the pool not far in front of the gate.
By this time, the pool had completely changed. When the people came here, the pool was just a circular area made of stones, and a stone platform was erected in the middle of the pool.
But now the circular edges of this pool are all opened, and one by one, the same faucets as above the door frame stretch out, and they are densely arranged in a circle around the entire pool, and I don't know how many there are.
All of these dragon heads opened their mouths, revealing pitch-black holes, pointing in all directions, and there were many of them facing everyone. Compared with the two dragon heads above the door frame, there is an extra thing above these dragon heads, which is an arc-shaped stone slab connected to the dragon head, and it seems that this stone slab is camouflaged.
In fact, the whole circular pool is made up of these dragon heads surrounded by splicing, and these arc-shaped stone slabs are inlaid outside, when the dragon head is low, all the stone slabs are closed together, in the eyes of others it seems to be an ordinary pool, but in fact, this pool is full of murderous machines.
In addition, the circular basin in the center of the basin has also changed, the stone slab that was previously wrapped around the basin is divided into vertical bars and opens downward, and the whole basin now looks like a blooming flower, and when the pool is opened, it reveals dense holes.
"Hiss......" The others gasped. No one noticed when these faucets on the pool were raised. If these dragon heads also spit out female ghost hair just now, none of the people who were caught between the pool and the gate would have survived, and even they would have died in vain.
Although I don't know how long the female ghost hair mechanism is, but this extremely thin crossbow arrow is light and fluttering, and it is very tough, and judging from the depth of the female ghost hair piercing into the body of the team member before, it is very likely that when these dragon heads spit out female ghost hair at the same time, it will cover most of the entire clearing, and even if you want to hide, there is no place to hide.
It seems that what Chen Ziyang said is not wrong, the designer of the mechanism has indeed shown mercy, but there is only one such opportunity, and if the wrong password is entered the second time, these faucets will not be dumb again.
"Oops!" At this time, Yang Lei shouted, startling all the others.
The muscles on Yang Lei's face kept twitching, his expression was hideous, and his eyes were full of surprise, as if he had seen something very terrible, and as if he was suffering from extreme pain.
After shouting, Yang Lei slowly raised his hand and pointed to the center of the pool. Because of his overexcitement, the arm he raised was shaking rapidly.
"That'...... Where's that pearl? OMG! What kind of goddamn bastard took the pearls, and I thought about sneaking them into my pocket. This pearl egg is so big, how much can it be sold for! Who is it? Who was there before me? Yang Lei shouted heartbreakingly.
After Yang Lei's reminder, everyone found that the basin in the center of the pool no longer gushed out, which should be related to the triggering of the mechanism. And the pearl that was washed by the current has completely disappeared.
The height of this pool was not high, and at the same time, it was not far from everyone, so several people could see it clearly, and the basin was empty, except for a black hole in the center of the bottom, and there was no trace of the pearl at all.
Although Chen Benzhong, Chen Ziyang and others, who came here in succession, all saw the existence of the pearl, no one had the time and leisure to take out the pearl.
Chen Benzhong was hunted down here by the Dragon Digging Society, and after coming here, their first priority was to find cover and defend against the Dragon Digging Society's attacks, so they didn't have time to take the pearl at all.
And Chen Ziyang and others have no chance. They had been forced into the area by grenades, and when they arrived, they joined the warband without taking the pearl.
After solving the Dragon Digging Society, everyone's attention was attracted by this small courtyard again, and because the team member touched the mechanism, these people didn't notice that the pearl had disappeared, if it weren't for Chen Ziyang's reminder, they wouldn't have noticed that the mechanism on the pool had been opened, and Yang Lei wouldn't have noticed that the pearl had disappeared.
"Alright, don't be ashamed. The reason why the pearl was in the basin was probably washed out by the water flow below, but now that the mechanism is activated, there is no water spurting out of the basin, and maybe the pearl has fallen back into the hole in the center of the disc. Listening to Yang Lei's crying father and calling his mother, Chen Ziyang said depressedly.
If someone who didn't know came here and heard Yang Lei's cry, they might think that this kid's father and mother had just died here, and at the very least, his best friend had died.
Yang Lei's approach was really a bit too embarrassing, even Chen Ziyang, who was his best friend, couldn't see it, and hurriedly spoke out to stop his unreasonable trouble.
"Huh? I fell in, and I went to see if I could get the pearl out. After listening to Chen Ziyang's words, Yang Lei's eyes emitted a greedy green light. He hurriedly turned around and faced in the direction of the pool, apparently trying to rush over to find the pearl.
Seeing Yang Lei's greedy move, Chen Ziyang was really angry. Before Yang Lei could take a step out of his legs, his legs were the first to move. After kicking it over, Yang Lei, who didn't want to die for the pearl, was kicked to the ground by Chen Ziyang.
"If you trigger this mechanism in the past, we'll all die here, can you save me some heart." Yang Lei's problem of not knowing the severity because of greed for money really made Chen Ziyang feel a very headache.
may have seen that Chen Ziyang was really angry, Yang Lei didn't say anything more, and finally became honest. After he stood up, he patted the dust off his body and stood there honestly.
It seemed that he had completely given up on the idea of looking for pearls, but Yang Lei's eyes were still locked on the round stone basin, apparently hoping that the water would emerge again and the pearls would be washed out again.
"Get down to business!" Seeing that the previous team member almost killed everyone, Chen Benzhong's face was blue and serious. He slowly walked to the front of the courtyard gate, staring at the pattern on the basin carefully, and the other people also gathered around.
The dust on the disc had been swept away by the dead team member, and the symbols on it were all very clear. All of these symbols are unique, and none of them are the same.
With so many symbols densely packed together, it looks very laborious, and it is also very eye-consuming, and it is not something that can be read in a while.
Chen Ziyang looked very carefully, every time he saw a symbol, he searched in his mind to see if he had seen such a thing before, and whether it was possible to know the meaning of these symbols, but he looked at it for a long time, and he didn't gain anything.
After rubbing his somewhat sore eyes, Chen Ziyang Qiang cheered up and continued to look at the huge cipher disk. When he saw a new symbol, his eyes widened.
