Chapter 81: The Trap of Terror
The envisioned scene did not happen, the stone wall that had blocked the road slowly descended with almost no sound, and soon, the way forward was once again revealed in front of everyone, but the scene that appeared in front of everyone was unimaginable before. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
A lump of humanoid coke lying on the ground appeared behind the stone wall, probably the last sign of the digger who had sneaked into the ruins last night in the world.
Fortunately, a long time has passed, except for the faint smell of burnt, there is no other smell, and everyone is not too uncomfortable.
Matthew stood still, and after a moment he suddenly crouched down and looked sideways ahead.
"Mr. Matthew, is there any problem?"
"Come and have a look, too. Be careful not to go to the front. ”
Alan was the first to walk up to Matthew, and he also squatted down like Matthew, and when he looked sideways, he found something unusual, it turned out that the stone bricks on the ground in front of him were not flat, but a little uneven. However, the height difference between the stone bricks is very small, so you can't see it if you don't look at it.
Along the way, Alan has fully seen the dwarves' superb craftsmanship, and no similar situation has happened in the passage he has passed through before, whether it is the wall or the ground, so it is certain that with the dwarves' mature craftsmanship, they should not make such mistakes.
Soon, the other four people also discovered this, and it was difficult to see the problem here when they were standing, but once they squatted down, they could easily find this.
"It's some kind of trap trap, and similar traps in the dwarven ruins are always very secretive and unobtrusive, and by the time you find them, you may have already touched these terrifying traps. ”
Matthew pointed at the coke on the ground again: "The mechanism here should be related to flames, that's why this situation is caused, I have seen similar mechanisms in the Wind Ruins, and the flames should be sprayed from the ground." ”
"The ground!" Vis stood up and stared at the ground in front of him for a moment, then pointed to the ground and said, "Mr. Matthew, this is unlikely, although the floor tiles here are not so flat, but like the previous ground, there are almost no gaps, how can this spew flames?"
"I guess it's something we can't understand. ”
Seeing that there was still a little disbelief on the faces of several people, Matthew didn't say anything, but took out a small stone from his pocket, and no one knew when Matthew loaded a stone on his body.
Matthew took the stone in his hand and threw it twice: "I know you don't believe it, so let's let the facts speak!"
After saying that, Matthew smashed the stone in his hand hard into the ground in front of him, and the stone in his hand drew an arc in the air, and then hit the ground in front of him, and jumped up and bounced a few times.
There was a sudden "boom" sound in the air, and Alan only saw that the stone bricks in front of him seemed to move slightly, and then with a "boom", a wall of fire suddenly rose from the ground, and it didn't stabilize until it was more than one person high.
The heat wave also came to his face, steaming so much that he couldn't even open his eyes for a while, and even Matthew didn't expect the flame trap here to be so terrifying, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, which was much better.
"Really...... Horrible ......"
Rooney, who had been silent, spoke everyone's thoughts at this time, and it was here that the poor man was devoured by the fire demon in front of him, and before he died, he must have been struggling and wailing in pain.
Alan suddenly understood why the people outside were sure that he had died in the ruins, presumably the howls of the dead last night spread throughout the excavation site, no wonder they were so scared and frightened, why didn't they dare to step into the ruins again.
"Hiss"
After a few hoarse sounds, the wall of fire disappeared again without a trace, as if nothing had happened, and the passage returned to peace.
"This flame trap is much more powerful than the one on the side of the Wind Ruins, have you noticed, the traps here are activated separately. ”
"Separately activated?"
The moment the flames rose just now, Yulong was dragged back by Ling'er, so he didn't see how everything happened, and after listening to Matthew's words, he seemed a little puzzled.
"Yes, remember how many times the stone bullet Mr. Matthew thrown? Flames erupted only where the stones were hit, and the first time the stones struck them was evident a few rows later. ”
Rooney had been silent all the way, he didn't expect his observation to be so sharp, even Alan hadn't noticed this detail just now.
"That's right," Matthew nodded, giving Rooney a look of surprise, but he was a teacher who was good at praising his students, "Rooney was right, the flame trap erupted according to this pattern. ”
Matthew gave Rooney a thumbs up, which made Rooney scratch his head a little embarrassed: "I...... It's just that I'm more used to the fire than everyone else. ”
This is really not modest, because at this time, among the six people, Rooney is the only one who is closest to the position of the flame trap, or he is simply standing still in place when everyone is forced to retreat by the flames, which even Matthew can't compare.
"So, know why I said this trap was terrifying. ”
Alan imagined that a person would step on a trap and the flames would burst out and set the person's clothes on fire, and ordinary people would run wildly, and if they were a little more sensible, they would roll on the ground in the hope of extinguishing the fire on their bodies, but no matter which way you choose, under the design of this trap, there is only a dead end.
"If I'm not bad, there should be a switch in the trap mechanism that controls the stone wall just now, but we tested it with stones, and the contact area is small, so we didn't touch the mechanism. ”
In this way, it is easy to explain why the stone wall rises from the ground, and if the person who steps on the trap chooses to roll backwards, then sorry, you will only have to crash into a merciless stone wall that rises from the ground.
It's really cut off from all sides!
"It's not bad news, but it at least proves that this place is important to the dwarves, so they designed this mechanism to protect their property. ”
Matthew noticed that the expressions on everyone's faces after imagining the mechanism he had described seemed to have lost all their confidence, and he hurriedly spoke to comfort him.
"But...... How did we get through this trap!"
Ling'er opened her mouth timidly, with indescribable fear in her voice. Alan glanced at Ling'er and found that her face was already white and bloodless, so she couldn't help but shake her head, it was really embarrassing for this little girl who grew up in the palace and took care of the princess as her own responsibility.
However, the problem that Ling'er said is indeed true, no matter how powerful Matthew is this time, it may not be of any use, after all, the dwarves can't be stupid enough to put the switch to close the trap outside, if they really design it like this, then Alan can understand why the dwarves disappeared from the continent - stupid death.
