Chen Ziyang fell really badly this time, after a night of rest, he still felt weak and weak, and his chest ached, even when the team was ready to set off the next day, he was still lying there, there was no way to get up. Chen Ziyang sat up with difficulty with the help of others, but the pain in his chest made him fall down again.

At this time, Chen Ziyang found that the wounds on his body had been tied with gauze, in addition to the pain in his chest, his back was burning from his shoulders to his ribs, and it seemed that the injuries on his back were not light.

There was really no way, Xiao Na let Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai and the two soldiers stay, temporarily take care of Chen Ziyang, let him seize the time to rest, and the others, under the leadership of her and Wang Dawei, continued to search the mountain space occupied by the human-faced bat.

After about half a day, Xiao Na walked back and said to Chen Ziyang: "We have checked all the mountain spaces in front of us, but there is no way out here, how is your body?" Can you hold on a bit? Otherwise, we'd really be trapped here. Mr. Chen, it's not that I want to force you, but we don't have much real food, and you don't really want to live on bat meat for the rest of the time. ”

After this half-day of rest, Chen Ziyang's spirit has improved a lot, and the wound on his chest is not so painful. So he gritted his teeth and stood up with the support of Umbrella Shishuai, and walked into the mountain space with Xiao Na.

"We found a flat stone wall at the end of the space, it looks like it should be artificially built, but there is no exit, in addition to this flat stone wall, the only thing with artificial traces in the entire mountain space is a three-legged tripod, it seems that the mechanism that opens the passage in front should have something to do with this bronze tripod, but because we are afraid of touching other organs, we don't dare to move, so we have to ask you to go out."

Xiao Na's sudden change in attitude made Chen Ziyang very uncomfortable, this feeling is like a female man suddenly becoming gentle, talking to you beside you, which is simply numb.

It seems that it is useful if people have some ability, at least now Chen Ziyang has gained due respect from Xiao Na, and he is no longer treated like a prisoner.

After walking out of this passage, Chen Ziyang saw a row of corpses on the ground, and he counted them, a total of nine corpses. In addition to the corpses of the five team members under Xiao Na, the rest are the two dried corpses and the corpses of Li Lin and Du Zifeng, three of which have not turned into dried corpses, but the two holes in the chest still look terrifying.

The equipment on the corpses had all been removed, and they were stacked one by one under the mountain wall on the side of the passage. Looking at the rows of corpses, Chen Ziyang gritted his teeth and made up his mind, his parents were still waiting at home, but he couldn't think of becoming like them.

The entire mountain space has been rummaged through by Xiao Na's team members, so Chen Ziyang came directly to the front of the big ding. This Da Ding also helped him when he was hiding from the attack of the human-faced bat, and at this time, looking at the corpse of the huge bat that fell next to the hall, Chen Ziyang only felt a wave of nausea.

Just as Yang Lei told him, the head of the human-faced bat had been broken by bullets. A large pool of blood mixed with minced meat spread all over the floor, and Chen Ziyang estimated that most of this blood should be human blood, the blood of other people who had been sucked into the stomach by the bat. In order to suppress the churning in his stomach, Chen Ziyang turned his attention to the top of the ding.

Because of the limitation of light before, Chen Ziyang didn't know what this tripod looked like. At this time, under the illumination of several flashlights, he saw the specific shape of this tripod clearly. Just as he had imagined, this tripod was very tall, and it should have been made of bronze, this tripod was about two meters high, and a person standing on the ground could not touch the upper edge of the tripod even if he stretched out his hand.

The whole tripod is a spherical shape, and the belly is very big, looks chubby, very cute, there are three feet below the tripod, while the appearance of the tripod is relatively smooth, in the middle of the tripod above the top of the three tripods, there are three animal head patterns. This animal head pattern actually looks a bit like a tiger's head.

I don't know if it's because the casting process of the tripod is not good, or if this beast head represents not a tiger head at all, when Chen Ziyang looked carefully, he felt that this pattern was not very similar to the tiger's head.

In the mouths of the three beast heads, an iron chain stretched out from each of them, and an iron ball hung under the chain, and under each round iron ball, a ring was also attached.

"We've seen it, there is nothing else in the tripod except dust, the inner wall of the tripod is very smooth, and I don't know what this tripod is for, but these three chains seem to be pullable, but we haven't touched it." Xiao Na told Chen Ziyang the results of their search on the side.

After listening to Xiao Na's words, Chen Ziyang lay on the top of the three beast heads and looked carefully, sure enough, just like Xiao Na said, these three iron chains stretched into the inside of the ding, and the mouths of the three beast heads were empty, and it was dark inside, and there was nothing to see. It seems that these three chains can be pulled.

Chen Ziyang walked to the flat stone wall again and took a brief look, this stone wall is very smooth, it looks man-made, it seems that this should be the door to the next passage, but now there is no way to open it, and there is no gap in the stone wall such as a door gap.

Since Xiao Na's subordinates have carefully inspected this place, Chen Ziyang did not waste too much time, and returned to the side of the tripod, according to his estimate, this tripod is the key to opening this door, so he took out the compass in his pocket and looked at it carefully, the tripod of the tripod secretly matched the direction of the three talents, just as he guessed, this is a three-talent tripod.

The three talents are divided into three directions, heaven, earth and man, but which one is the iron chain that can open this door? You can't be reckless in this matter, if you choose the wrong one, you will be doomed if you touch other mechanisms.

In order not to miss any detail, Chen Ziyang asked several people under Xiao Na to carry themselves to the ding, and looked at them carefully. But the inside of the Ding was empty, except for the dust accumulated over the years, there was nothing else in the Ding, just when Chen Ziyang wanted to turn over and climb outside the Ding, he suddenly found that something was wrong.

This bronze tripod is more than two meters high, the foot of the tripod is not very high, that is, about half a meter, so calculated, if you do not count the part of the tripod, the height of the tripod body should be about two meters, Chen Ziyang looked at the mouth edge of the tripod, the thickness of the tripod is more than 30 centimeters.

Logically speaking, if a person stands in this tripod, then this person should be completely engulfed by this tripod, and the height of his head will not exceed the edge of the mouth of the tripod, or it will be basically the same as the height of the edge of the mouth.

But at this time, Chen Ziyang stood in this tripod, the height of the mouth edge of this tripod only barely exceeded his waist, Chen Ziyang only needs to turn over and step over his legs, you can put your legs on the edge of the mouth of the tripod, then that is to say, between the inner wall of the place where you stand under your feet and the outer wall of the tripod, there is a distance of more than half a meter.

Chen Ziyang stood inside the tripod, stomped his feet vigorously, and knocked on the inner wall of the tripod with the iron tool on his body, and sure enough, he heard the echo of the hollow. Chen Ziyang turned over and walked out of the ding, letting Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai jump down with him.

Looking carefully around the three circles on the left and the right three circles of the Ding, Chen Ziyang carefully looked at the three beast heads and the iron chain in the mouth of the beast head and the iron ball under the chain several times, hoping to find a clue. But the three beast heads, the three chains, and the three iron balls had no signs on them. From the outside, these things look exactly the same.

The mechanism should be in the belly of this ding, but because there is no clue to know which chain to pull, Chen Ziyang is still looking carefully. Since there is nothing noteworthy above the tripod, what about the bottom of the tripod? Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang endured the pain in his body, bent down, and got under the ding.

With the flashlight in his hand, Chen Ziyang suddenly discovered that there was something underneath this tripod. Just below the tripod, in the middle of the three tripod feet, there was a protruding spike-like thing, and on top of this spike, there was also a rag, and there was a trace of blood on the spike and the rag.

Looking at the material of this rag, Chen Ziyang felt very familiar, and saw his cotton clothes with the corner of his eye, Chen Ziyang suddenly realized that this rag was actually scraped off his clothes.

Before, when Chen Ziyang was dodging the attack of the human-faced bat, he bent down and got under the ding, and then he felt a hot pain in his back, at that time he thought that he was scratched by the bat's claws because he couldn't dodge, but now it seems that the thing that scratched him should be the spike protruding under the ding. The spike was covered with fragments of his own clothes and those blood stains that proved his idea.

Stretching out his hand, Chen Ziyang took off the rag hanging on the spike, and at the same time carefully looked at the spike and the things near the spike, the spike was not straight, but slightly bent in one direction, so it seemed that this insistence was somewhat similar to a hook.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang hurriedly looked in the direction of the hook's bending, which happened to be facing a beast's head, and the iron ball hanging from the iron chain hanging from the beast's head happened to be hanging in this direction, looking at the ring on the iron ball, Chen Ziyang had an idea.

He hurriedly asked several of Xiao Na's men to pull the chain. A few people pulled the iron chain out more than a meter long, and then Chen Ziyang asked them to take the iron ball to the bottom of the tripod and hang the ring on the iron ball on the top of the hook.

After the ring was hung up, it was very compatible with this hook-type spike, so Chen Ziyang asked them to pull the chain up again. As the chain was pulled again, the hook moved slightly.

Although this tripod is very heavy, but with the movement of the hook, a few people pulled, this huge bronze tripod actually fell slowly in one direction, and the direction of the tripod fell was exactly the direction pointed by the hook.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyang knew that his method should be correct, after this tripod was tilted 45 degrees, it did not continue to fall, but stopped, and with the tilt of this tripod, everyone heard a sound under their feet.

"When! While! While! Dangdangdang......" This sound is louder than the other, and the sound is more compact than the other, obviously the tilt of the ding, pulling what mechanism under everyone's feet. And these organs are running step by step, and they are playing their due role.

Just when everyone was disturbed by these sounds, suddenly from the direction of the flat stone wall, there was a sound of rocks rubbing against the ground.

Xiao Na hurriedly led the people to run in that direction, and Chen Ziyang and the others also slowly walked there. The stone wall that was still very flat just now, at this time, there was a stone wall like a gate protruding obliquely, and it looked like a small door opened on this stone wall.

But I don't know if it was because it was opened in the wrong way, or because the mechanism was in disrepair, the small door opened a gap slightly, and then it didn't move.

Umbrella Shishuai and Yang Lei hurriedly took out the sapper shovel behind them, inserted the sapper shovel into the gap of this door, and the two of them shouted slogans together, using their strength, using the sapper shovel as a crowbar, and slowly pried open the stone door.

When the stone door opened, a cold wind blew out. After the stone door opened at a certain angle, the other people rushed up and pushed it with both hands, opening the stone door.

The two team members shine their flashlights at the back of the stone gate, which has a small space, but there is a circular stone staircase like a spiral staircase that extends downward. A gust of cold wind blew up from under the stone gate, and the two team members with flashlights shivered at the same time, and they didn't know where it led or how deep it was, but it could be seen from the cold air that this passage was definitely not short.

Under Xiao Na's arrangement, two soldiers took the lead, and the others lined up in formation, and arranged Chen Ziyang and these injured people in the middle of the line, and the people in the team lined up in a row, one by one down the spiral staircase, because the stairs had no handrails or anything like that, so all the people were leaning against the wall and walking cautiously to avoid falling into the gap in the middle of the stone staircase.

The further down the stairs went, the cooler the wind blew up from the bottom of the stairs, and the team walked for more than an hour without seeing the end of the stairs. After walking a long way, a thin layer of ice had formed on the stairs, making the already slippery stairs even more slippery.

At this time, the temperature in the staircase space had dropped below zero, and the cold wind blowing up from the bottom of the stairs made everyone feel a bone-chilling cold, and even a layer of condensed frost had appeared on the beards of several team members.
