Chapter 96: Temptation Agency
Zhang Da stretched out his hand and pressed down the protruding semicircle.
With a "click", the semicircle sank.
It is flat with the other semicircle to form a complete circular pattern.
Zhang Dashou pressed down and ran without looking back, not daring to stop for a second, and only stopped when he ran into the mine.
Xiao Niannian waited expectantly for the mechanism to activate and scare away the group of people.
To her surprise, nothing happened.
Everything was as usual, and the cave was quiet.
It didn't make the "click" sound they had heard before.
The sound of "click" is the movement of the gears in the chamber.
At this moment, the gears of the secret room were quiet, without the slightest intention of turning.
Xiao Niannian's eyebrows were wrinkled together, and her little face was full of sorrow.
She was afraid that the reason why the mechanism didn't activate was because the cave wall had been chiseled open, destroying the entire mechanism.
In this case, even if she wanted to, she couldn't fix it.
She guessed that the men were going to open the round door above their heads.
The circular mechanism was also made of bronze, but those people were miners, and digging was no problem for them.
If they were determined to open this place, it would be easy.
When the time comes, she and Xie Yunzhi will be caught in an urn, and they can't run away if they want to.
No way!
It wasn't until the last minute, and she couldn't just throw in the towel.
Xiao Niannian cheered himself up in his heart, and then walked to the pile of large bronze gears.
This is the core of the whole mechanism, and it stands to reason that as long as the gears are not destroyed, the mechanism will not fail.
Something else must have gone wrong.
The Scar Man and his group watched in the mine for a long time, waiting until their necks were sore, and they didn't see any mechanism, so they were relieved and boldly returned to the cave.
Zhang Dayang proudly walked up to the altar and jumped twice.
"I'll just say, where is the mechanism you are talking about?"
"Even if there were, it would have been broken a long time ago."
"Don't be afraid, come up and help, I can't open this thing alone."
Everyone looked at each other, and also followed Zhang Da to the altar, ready to pry open the altar to see what was underneath.
I don't know if it's because there are too many of them, or if it's for some other reason.
Just as they all walked up to the altar, the altar suddenly made a "click" sound.
The frequency of the sound is very fast, like the impact of metal.
At the same time, the lantern in the cave also began to move slowly, revealing the gun hole of the black hole behind it.
The crowd was stunned by this sudden change and froze in place.
"Oh my god! There's a trap here, and it's about to start, so run! If you run slowly, you'll die! ”
This sentence finally woke everyone up, and everyone rushed down the altar and ran towards the mine with all their might.
Due to too many people and too crowded, when he arrived at the entrance of the mine, Zhang Da was directly squeezed and fell to the ground, and his head accidentally hit the gravel.
"Ouch! You short-lived ghosts! ”
Zhang scolded in pain and rubbed the back of his head with his hand.
Although it hurt his heart, he didn't dare to stay, and immediately got up from the ground and drilled into the mine.
Miraculously, when all of them ran out of the cave after.
The strange "click" sound disappeared, and the everlasting lamp on the wall was restored to its original appearance.
But even if the mechanism stopped ringing, they didn't dare to step into the cave anymore.
There is a mechanism behind each everlasting lamp, and if you go in again, you will have to put your life on it.
Although they are greedy for money, they are useless if they have no money.
"What are you doing here?"
An angry roar came, and everyone looked back.
It turned out that the person in charge of their mine had returned.
Someone explained: "Steward Liu, you can be regarded as back!" There's a cave in front of it, and there are so many traps in it that we can't dig any more. ”
"Oh? Did you dig a cave? ”
Steward Liu came interested and walked forward, and everyone got out of the way.
He first walked to the entrance of the cave and poked his head into it.
"Ho! This cave is really big! Hey? Why are there so many lights here? ”
Steward Liu saw the lantern, but he didn't see the hole behind the lantern.
He looked around the cave, but he didn't see any traps.
Just as he was puzzled, Zhang Da walked up to him with the back of his head covered and showed a flattering smile.
"Steward Liu, I guess, this is likely to be the ancient imperial tomb, otherwise how could there be such a big battle and so many ever-bright lights, do you say yes?"
"Well, that makes sense." Steward Liu nodded approvingly.
Zhang rolled his eyes wide, and quietly approached Steward Liu's ear.
"I don't know if Steward Liu has heard of it, there are many priceless funeral goods in the imperial tomb."
Steward Liu glanced at Zhang Da quietly, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.
"Seriously?"
Zhang Da caught the glint in Steward Liu's eyes, and deliberately said with a look of pity: "It's a pity that there is a mechanism here, and we can't go in and check it out." ”
"What mechanism?" Steward Liu looked disdainful, and pointed to a few people casually.
"A few of you let me in, I want to see how powerful this mechanism is, and scare you all like this."
Among those who were pointed out, there was Zhang Da.
His angry face turned green, and he kindly told Steward Liu about the good things in it.
Steward Liu actually took revenge and asked him to test the agency.
The trap was so dangerous, he didn't want to go.
Zhang Da wept with a sad face, looking at Steward Liu with pleading eyes.
"Steward Liu, can I not go? You see, my head is bleeding and my hand is injured, and I am really not fit for such a dangerous task. ”
Steward Liu threw him a cold look, as if to say that you don't want to try it.
Zhang Da showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
What else can he do, he can only obediently go and try the mechanism.
Steward Liu's temper is uncertain, and his torturing is also first-class.
If you offend him, don't think about living a peaceful life on this mine road in the future.
A group of people gritted their teeth, cowered and stepped back into the cave.
They didn't dare to blink, staring at the dark hole in the wall, for fear that something sharp would come out of it.
But after a long time, the mechanism on the wall did not move, and there was no strange "click" sound.
Steward Liu squinted slightly at everyone, and anger rose in his eyes.
"Where's the mechanism here? You don't deliberately trick me for being lazy, do you? ”
But as soon as he finished speaking, suddenly the sound of the mechanism activating sounded again.
This time, the frequency of the sound sounded faster, and the Kong Ming lantern on the wall moved away, and the arrows inside also moved forward a few points, revealing arrows glowing with green light.
Everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly retreated, one by one in shock.
"Steward Liu, look, there is really a mechanism here!"
Steward Liu touched his chin and thought of an idea.
The mechanism in this cave will be triggered whenever someone walks into it.
It seems that this mechanism is controlled by sensing weight.
If you change it to something else, such as a stone that weighs about the same size as a person, will it also trigger the mechanism?
After all the arrows on these walls have been triggered, it will be the same for them to come back and reap the harvest.
Thinking of this, Zhang Da immediately ordered someone to move stones and throw them into the cave.
The crowd did as they were told.
After a while, dozens of them almost threw hundreds of pounds of stones into the city.
But the mechanism in this cave did not react at all.
Otherwise, as soon as anyone steps inside the cave, the trap will be triggered immediately.
It's really weird.
Is it possible that you have to use people as bait to trigger the mechanism?
Steward Liu had no choice but to set his eyes on everyone, thinking about who to pick in and send them to death.
"Steward Liu! Steward Liu! ”
There was a shout from the back of the mine, an errand that had come to report the news.
"The lord has an order, ordering everyone to gather in the stockade quickly, there is an urgent task!"
Steward Liu's face sank.
When is the lord in trouble, he summoned everyone at this time.
He reluctantly glanced back at the cave and led everyone in the direction of the stockade.
