Chapter 544: The Trial That Definitely Comes
β... Let me tell you, I'm not very familiar with this place, especially the mechanisms here, don't think I'm really an encyclopedia. β
It sounds like a promise.
"Are you sure? These two guys are going to kill us. Barry was a little worried about the peers of Duck and Albert, after all, they were enemies in the confrontation last second, and now they are together together, which is somewhat unreliable.
"Like I said, some of the mechanisms in the ancient tomb, some superpowers will be directly useless, if we don't want to be killed instantly, we'd better gather the power we have, and don't forget, we don't have Wu Yong here."
The implication of Slude's words is that in the absence of a professional-level leader like Wu Yong, their situation is even more dangerous than that of Xingle and their side, and in order to ensure their lives, it is better to unite all the forces that need to be united.
"That's right, but all of a sudden, they're in trouble, and we're too..."
"The fragments are not on any of us, and it is useless for the two of them to attack any of us, not to mention, this is not such an easy place for the Assassin League to break into, it is better to pull a few more backs than one person."
To put it mildly, it's just that the League of Assassins is a good place to break into... In a way, it's really good to break into.
"Now that we've come to an agreement, let's ask, what should we do now? The road is already here, should we continue or go back the way we came? β
Albert hurriedly interjected, this matter is not finished yet, what to do next, they don't have a plan for what to do next, if they are grinding, when the ice wall is broken, the grasshoppers will come to the door.
"It's not impossible to go back the same way, but I will definitely deal with those grasshoppers, and I don't know how many grasshoppers there are, but it is certain that this is a mechanism made by the tomb owner in order to let the people who enter the tomb fall into the 'surprise' he prepared next, so ah, I can't go the same way, so I have to follow the route given to us by the tomb owner and continue to move forward."
Slude only glanced at the icy entrance on the original road, and chose the path to continue deeper, and for this reason, looked at the dark passage behind them, and a scent, rushing here from the other end of the passage, made Slude smell it.
"This taste... Like the smell of water, is there a river here? β
"The river?"
"Maybe it's because of feng shui, there is an underground river here, and as for being able to create such a tomb, it should be an underground river to transport stones and supplies, so here... It should be a passage to the underground river, and maybe you can continue deeper into the catacombs from here. β
After answering Laurel's question, Sludge took a flashlight and said to Duck and Albert:
"I don't want to hand over the Spear of Longinus to you, but if you don't want to be killed by the trap in this ancient tomb before snatching the Spear of Longinus from us, you'd better not engage in extra tricks, some of the traps, if you are not a professional, I can't solve it, and I can't save anyone."
β... Got it. β
After thinking for a moment, Dak nodded, after all, they really don't have much experience here, they are all some unexpected things, compared to two people running around, the best thing to do now is to eat the mountains.
"I don't know what happened to Roy..."
"At the very least, they should be much more 'happy' than we are."
.................................
The other side
ββββοΌ "Oops~" Malcolm was reluctantly thrown on the ground of the dark passage, revealing a loveless and extremely helpless face, and screamed super fakely.
"Well, there should be no problem." Xingle said with a wicked smile while pulling the rope that tied Malcolm, seeing that the others were extremely calm.
"When will he be able to stop this PTSD?"
Damian looked at Xingle's appearance, and was a little worried, just now, he threw away the clown and escaped alone, and now he has tied up Malcolm as a touchstone for the tomb, which is simply a phobia.
"It's hard to say, the clown made it, completely activated Lao Han's illness, after he met Qimen Dunjia that time, the whole person was stunned, and now he has activated the mechanism, if he doesn't go crazy for a while, I think he will not be normal next."
"Is this thing normal?"
Wu Yong's explanation was questioned by the bhikshu beast, she had known this guy for two years, and she had never seen how normal this guy was.
"I'm talking about the abnormality of the Korean star music style." As a result, Wu Yong added another sentence, making the bhikshu beast silent, Han Xingle's abnormality... Why do you feel a chill just thinking about it?
β... Hey, okay, it's been thundered three times, I'm sure there's no mechanism, if there really is, I'd have hung up a long time ago. β
Malcolm, who was pulled back to Xingle's side, and his body was tied into a dumpling with a large bundle of rope, spoke out helplessly, otherwise he would be thrown again.
"Stop talking nonsense, if I hadn't had my brother, I'd have mercury there, and if you rotten bits hadn't let the clowns out, would we be here."
Xingle didn't feel ashamed at all, as soon as PTSD was committed, he had no reason to talk about, if it weren't for Malcolm's brain-dead, would he be blocked by mercury here?
β... Okay, I've fallen three times, if there really is any mechanism, he would have died a long time ago, you waste 'resources' like this, and it will be difficult to use him to thunder again. β
In the end, Thea couldn't stand it anymore and opened her mouth to persuade, but what she said still hurt Malcolm.
β... Don't worry, there's a chance to use you in the future. Xingle just thought about it, and finally let go of Malcolm, but the rope was not untied, and for the Assassin Alliance, the general restraint would not be effective, but if it wasn't... That's another story.
As for Xingle's cruel words, Malcolm didn't care so much, but looked at Thea who was holding each other with a smile on his face, and said:
"It seems that my girl still feels very sorry for her father."
β... You are in my heart, not that important. Seeing Malcolm's smiling face, Thea was a little annoyed and turned her head, not wanting to look at Malcolm.
Seeing this, Xingle slapped Malcolm on the back of the head and said indignantly, "Go on, we don't have time to waste here." After saying that, he also pushed Malcolm forward, as if he was a black slave who was arrested and sold by the white people back then, but here, it was a yellow man, pushing a white man away.
It's kind of ironic for some reason...
Xingle led everyone to push Malcolm's 'touchstone' down, and the moment he walked into the passage from the original room, Xingle tied Malcolm up without thinking, and also under Wu Yong's experience, confirmed that the next course of action was to act in the direction of the passage, after all, the front was so 'warmly entertained' by the owner of the tomb, and it was not good not to go in.
Moreover, if you want to find an outlet, the way through the mercury is not very realistic, and you should pay attention to the problem of mercury poisoning, and it is more reliable to continue to move forward.
And on such a road, go down cautiously, and everyone will eventually face the... A wall, a stone wall of stone bricks.
Everyone looked at the stone wall that stood in front of everyone and blocked everyone's way in this passage, and they were somewhat uneasy.
"Die... Impasse?! Wally couldn't help but get nervous, and stepped forward to touch the stone wall in front of him, trying to see what kind of mechanism it was, but...
"Wally, don't touch it!" Wu Yong suddenly called out Wally's movements in a cold voice, making Wally's movements freeze on the spot.
"Man, we're in a dead end! Aren't you nervous?! β
"The first precept for the survival of the ancient tomb: do not touch anything unless necessary. What. East. West, unless you want to kill yourself. β
Wally's confrontation was exchanged for Wu Yong's very serious admonition, especially when he watched him observe this stone wall, his mood couldn't be suppressed at all.
"Why is it unnecessary, this wall is...!!?" But Wally didn't say a word or two, and remembered why he and the others were here for what reason, and it wasn't the clown who blindly touched the trap and separated their big teams.
If this wall is also a 'trigger' for a mechanism, then... It's unimaginable.
"Ah Yong, what is this wall?"
While Xingle spoke, Wu Yong leaned on his own hands and gently touched the stone wall, feeling the information that the wall could provide to him, and then said:
"There's no actual mechanism on this wall, it's hollow behind it, and behind it is the path or a room, but... There are traps. β
"Trap?"
Damian frowned, looked at the stone wall, and felt that this stone wall was different from the stone brick material used in the construction of the entire ancient tomb, so... If it is such a deliberate method, then maybe there is a real trap.
"What kind of trap?"
"The stone bricks that make this stone wall are different from the stone bricks used in the construction of the entire ancient tomb, and they can be destroyed, but this wall cannot be destroyed and pushed, because there is an anti-theft mezzanine in the stone wall, and all the bricks can only be taken out, not pushed, and not smashed."
After Wu Yong's explanation, Roy hesitated for a moment and read:
"Anti-theft mezzanine... Is there any way to do it? β
"There isn't even a crack in this wall, how can we get the bricks out?"
The bhikshu beast looked at the tightly sealed stone wall in front of him, and let out such an emotion, who knew that Xingle rolled his eyes and said to everyone, "Then you just wait and watch the show." β
Just when everyone was puzzled by Xingle's words, Wu Yong exhaled, stretched the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, and finally stroked the stone wall, the cement block bonded between the stone bricks and the stone bricks, almost ten seconds, Wu Yong's eyes were Ling, and in the eyes of everyone, two fingers sank into the cement block under one of the stone bricks.
"Hissββββββ!!!"
The youngest grave expert is terrifying!!
