Chapter 10 The Rope Dart Slope Formation
Chapter 11 The Rope Dart Formation Breaks
The people climbed the stone steps one after another, and the palm hat and Wang Shao came up without torches. At this time, everyone came up, and there were more torches, so that they could see the scene on the stone steps.
Above is a platform, about three zhang square. The inside of the square is set into a circle, and the inside of the circle is set with a square, and so on The circular part seemed to be unusually smooth, reflecting the light of the torch very brightly, and even a little dazzling in the darkness.
Song Cheng squatted down and touched the nearest round surface with his hands, probably to see what material was so smooth. He was about to take off his gloves and reach for his hand when he heard a slight clicking sound coming from nowhere. Feeling bad, he shouted, "Be careful, everyone. Before the words fell, dozens of ropes shot out from all sides of the wall, and at one end of the rope hung a sharp weapon like the tip of a gun, and the cold light shimmered under the action of light and ground reflection.
Fortunately, everyone was still standing on the outer edge of the phalanx and did not walk in, and was reminded by the shouts of the palms, and quickly pressed their bodies to the ground. Song Negative was pulled back by the nearest palm and pressed to the ground, a rope dart flew into his bun, inserted and did not stop, the rope was tight and seemed to be withdrawn, Song Negative's hair was pulled away all of a sudden, although this profession will see disgusting and terrible corpses, but at least he has not encountered the scene of danger, this tie is to make him frightened, lying on the ground with his hair and not daring to move.
The ropes were as flexible as if they were being manipulated, and if they missed or hit an object on the stone wall, they retracted and popped out again, and each rope seemed to have eyes, and they never intertwined with each other, and even if they were about to touch it, they would suddenly bounce open. Seeing that the whole hall was full of ropes that were whirring and dancing, Palm asked Palm Hat: "What should I do?" Palm Hat stared at the rope and said, "Jing Lun, what do you think is the mystery of this rope?" This time, he didn't call Jing Lunjun, but called him by the word, but fortunately, everyone was frightened and wouldn't care about this. Wang Shao was also staring intently at the ropes flying around at this time, and when he heard someone call his own words, he replied: "It feels like... ”
"Magnet!" Wang Shao and Zhangqiu cried out almost at the same time, their voices as sharp as resonance, almost making everyone who were watching with bated breath jump in fright. After blurting out, Wang Shao also felt a little abrupt, and grinned in the direction of several people's palms.
Hearing the two of them say "magnet" in unison, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he whispered to Palm Fox to come closer, and Palm Fox crawled past a few people to rub to his side, and he whispered a few words to Palm Hat. Palmed nodded, turned his head and whispered a few words to the pro-soldiers next to him, and then the pro-soldiers passed on in turn. Others don't know what they're going to do.
When a few rope darts touched the air above a few people, they pulled back, and in this gap, the palm hat flew up at a very fast speed, and flew into the rope array with a long sword in his right hand, and the rope seemed to smell the smell, and all of a sudden turned around and went straight to the palm hat. I saw the palm hat raise the iron sword in his hand, and in an instant, dozens of ropes tightly wrapped around the sword body. At the same time as the palm hat flew out, with a few swishs, several hard crossbows were shot into the opposite stone wall, and the tail of the crossbow was also tied with soft ropes, and several soft ropes were tightened at the same time, forming a simple rope net one foot above the ground. Seeing that the sword of the palm hat sucked the rope, the palm of the sword also flew up, raised the knife in his hand, and used all his strength to cut the ropes wrapped around the sword in turn as fast as possible, and with each cut, the palm of the sword would drop one toe and click the rope, bounce again, and cut again. At the same time, the figure holding the iron sword in the palm of his hand also sank, but fortunately, the net knot below caught him. The two were almost performing acrobatics in a dazzling array, one flying, the other falling. Several of the soldiers outside the formation desperately tightened the ropes to support the weight of the two.
When the last rope was cut, the two returned to the outside of the battle with the elastic force of the knot. The soldiers pressed the mechanism to unbuckle the crossbow, and the rope was pulled back. Seeing that they were all tired and panting, everyone hurriedly helped them to retreat to the stone steps and rested on the stone steps. The others also seemed to be immersed in the scene that seemed to be dancing just now, if it weren't for the darts on the rope, they really thought that this was a volley dance, although the performance was two big men, but the movements were definitely lighter and smoother than any singer beauty, the key was that the cooperation was too tacit.
Wang Shao asked the palm with concern, "Are you okay?" The palm hat nodded, and raised the sword weakly with his right hand, but still did not raise it. Wang Shao hurriedly took the sword in his hand with both hands, the heavy sword itself was very heavy, and with more than a dozen ropes wrapped around it, it was even heavier. At this time, Song Cheng also tied his hair in a bun and came over with Zhao Qi, and the two of them took the sword from Wang Shao's arms. Wang Shao struggled to untie the ropes one by one, and when he was done, the arms of the three of them were already sore. Wang Shao said to the palm hat: "This rope is cleverly made, like magnetic powder wrapped in the rope and braided, repelling each other, so it will not be entangled when it is shot." Thankfully, your sword is iron. Choosing Shangjun and Major General?"
Palm Hat, whose eyes were closed at this time, seemed to be asleep, and a scene appeared before his eyes: a white and slender hand, picking up a few chess pieces, and throwing them at the long sword standing opposite, and all the chess pieces were sucked into the sword. The palm of the hand said angrily on the side: "Don't make trouble, concentrate on playing chess." The man chuckled softly: "You go down to yours, I play with mine, and I don't have anything to do with each other." Palm Kasa heard someone call him, and then slowly opened his eyes. He looked around at everyone, and at this time the palm of the hand also rested, and nodded at him, meaning that everyone was fine.
There is no thrill at all in the tomb of the water, so everyone thinks that the tomb stolen by this ghost ship is nothing more than that, just a thief in the rivers and lakes. So I relaxed my vigilance for this tomb visit, but I didn't expect to encounter two organs just after two places. I don't know if there are any other dangers in this hall, and I should go there after that.
The palm hat picked up a rope that Wang Shao had untied and looked at the dart on the head of the rope. Then he threw it to the palm. Catch it and put it in your rucksack. The habit they have developed over the years, when they encounter good or unseen weapons, they must bring them back to study. Palm Kasa stared at the mirror-like ground and asked, "The mechanism was touched just now because Song Cheng touched the circular part?" Song Cheng hurriedly clarified that before he could touch it, the rope shot out.
"Before you touch it, it's triggered?" muttered a few people.
"Isn't it... Shadows obscuring the light?" Zhao Qi said. Palm looked at him and motioned for him to continue. "From dark to light, it's safe here. But once it lights up and gets darker, maybe it's different. If I remember correctly, Brother Song wanted to take off his gloves and wanted to touch them, but the shadows of the gloves and palms blocked the mirror light, causing the darts to pop out. Everyone thought about it for a moment and felt that it seemed reasonable.
"Go on. ”
"Tomb robbers are afraid of the dark and the light, and they will definitely come in and light the torches first, so as to see the situation clearly. Therefore, the owner of this tomb reversed it, and set the light and dark switch as a mechanism activation device. Zhao Qi saw that everyone agreed with his reasoning, and then said eloquently.
"It seems that the next way out, it is estimated that you must first crack this light and dark mechanism before you can find it. Palm said.
Palm hats pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked, "How long have we been in?" When he asked this, everyone looked at each other, and no one brought a timekeeping tool. "It's like, it should, almost... Three hours, or four hours?"
"Leave most of the torches behind and keep the room bright. Let's go back first and explore tomorrow. Palm commanded. You are called to obey.
After going down the steps, passing the stone gate, and returning to the middle cave, the water had almost flowed, and there was still very little standing water left. On the way back, Zhao Qi asked Zhangqiu in a low voice: "Why did the young master of your family let us withdraw and come back tomorrow." The palm replied in a low voice: "The young master is cautious, never reckless, and will not disregard the safety of his subordinates." After several hardships today, it is not clear how many unknowns there are. If you rush to go again, I'm afraid everyone will not be able to bear it. In the case of physical exhaustion, it is easy to make mistakes. I see, Zhao Qi nodded secretly in his heart.
