Chapter 0088 - Terrifying Layout
Xia Mo's immediate target was the small rockery that stood at the bend of the river, which, in his judgment, was the entrance to the treasure house.
Because through observation, he found that behind the waterfall that flowed down from the rockery, there was an irregular hole. Although it looks natural, it definitely doesn't come with the stone.
And other rockeries, although there are also some holes, but whether they are natural or man-made, they are not very deep, and some even look at each other.
Only here is the most special.
However, even if he locked this place and the entrance to the cave, Xia Mo did not recklessly fly in immediately, so as not to be careless.
This kind of treasure trove of great power, even if it is not protected by a formation, must have set up a mechanism, so that the thieves will be seriously injured or die directly before they can enter.
Sou!
The black shadow flickered and disappeared into the shade of a tree, without much noise.
And here, it is less than three feet away from the entrance of the cave.
Xia Mo then scanned the surroundings through the gaps in the branches and leaves, making sure that there was no movement before opening his divine sense, and slowly approached the entrance of the cave to investigate the situation inside.
Sure enough, just as Xia Mo thought, there was no formation inside, but there were quite a few mechanisms. Less than three feet from the entrance, tiny threads stretched in a net half to five feet above the ground.
If you look at it with the naked eye, it is extremely difficult to detect its existence.
There are dense eyes on the left and right sides of the passage and on the top, and once they touch those silk threads, various hidden weapons will shoot out and smash people into a hornet's nest.
This is only the first level.
Even if someone is lucky enough to avoid this level, it is still not safe and sound inside.
After a little further inward, the passage poured down and extended into the ground. And here, too, there are two mechanisms in control.
On the ground, there is an engraved stone slab that lasts about five zhang, and it is concave, and you must jump down and reach the opposite side only after passing through the engraved stone slab.
If you just fly past, it will never work.
Because above, there is an incomparably dense silk thread, which fills the entire upper space, and there is no way to avoid it.
Looking at these, Xia Mo had to admire the setting of the City Lord's Mansion, it was simply to lure the enemy deeper!
The first mechanism is not difficult to break, as long as there are some people with some body methods, they can easily pass through and enter safely, giving people a sense of relaxation.
But this second level is not so easy.
The engraved stone slab paved underneath will trigger the mechanism as soon as you take a wrong step, which is terrifying. Instinctively jumping up, triggering the silk thread above, the double trap opens.
In this way, even if you are proficient, it is basically difficult to escape.
Even if you are lucky enough not to die and run out in a hurry, you will touch the first mechanism again because of the panic. In this way, it is estimated that it will be difficult not to die.
Not only that, but the silk thread is connected to many bells, and when touched, it signals to the people outside to be surrounded by an ambush.
"It seems that the mechanism is really a good thing! Especially when the strength is equal, it is definitely one of the big groups that kill people. ”
Xia Mo thought so and continued to peek inside.
However, it was not possible to go any further.
It was blocked by a thick stone door, and the divine sense could not enter, so he had to go and investigate it himself.
Xia Mo thought that that was the real gate of the treasure house. After all, with the two mechanisms outside, basically no one can get close to here.
If you can come here, you will be a person with extremely high cultivation and direct strength to crush the mechanism. With such a strong person, no matter how many mechanisms you set up, it is useless.
Of course, this passage is not the belly of a rockery, as it appears to be.
The rockery is actually a layer of facilities paved with rocks, which are full of solid steel, as long as you come in, you can't cultivate to the middle and late stages of the Martial King, don't think about going forward and breaking it.
It can be said that it is almost impossible to steal the treasure trove of the City Lord's Mansion. Unless, you are strong, and you directly use it to rob.
Xia Mo's current cultivation is a nine-star martial marquis, although his combat power is comparable to that of the early martial king, he is not arrogant enough to shatter this steel passage.
He also knew that it was impossible for him to resist the siege of the powerhouses of the entire City Lord's Mansion on his own.
Even if he comprehends the imprison skill, how many can you imprison?
So, I can only calmly analyze how to go to the treasure house without touching the mechanism.
Of course, the only confusion is how those engraved stone slabs can pass smoothly, and who will come first.
Xia Mo had never learned the trick, and he had a headache in the face of this setting, his brows were tightly locked, and he had no clue for a long time.
"There it is!"
About half a cup of tea later, Xia Mo exclaimed in his heart and immediately went to check the Qiankun Mental Method.
He remembered that although there was no introduction to the mechanism in it, there was a description of the formation. Isn't this kind of lettering game a kind of formation?
Xia Mo quickly rummaged through to see if there was a corresponding formation.
Finally, in the formation chapter, he found an explanation of this layout. Although it is not exactly the same, it is a description that is regularly searched.
Through reading, Xia Mo understood that this layout is called stepping stone henge, and there are many branches. Each one has a different arrangement and a different solution.
This layout of the City Lord's Mansion is called the Hidden Poetry of the Stones.
To put it simply, it is to find the corresponding verses from these engraved stone tablets, and then move forward in order, and you will be safe.
If you make any mistakes, set off immediately.
Of course, this is also a huge test, because the ghost knows what kind of poems are hidden in it! Moreover, Xia Mo, who has traveled through the earth, does not know much about poetry.
What kind of battle, leveling and the like, it's just a pain in the brain!
Well, that was before the crossing, and now it's different.
Xia Mo got the Qiankun Mind Method and got these corresponding golden fingers, what can't be solved?
There are hundreds of poems listed in the pages of the poems of the Wild Stone Collection, and as long as you find the corresponding layout, you can quickly get the answer without wasting brain cells.
Xia Mo remembered the words engraved on the stone slabs just now, and it didn't take long to find the corresponding verses.
"That's it!"
Xia Mo shouted proudly in his heart, and then put away his senses and prepared to start a special trip.
Sou!
He immediately cast his technique, and his body ejected like an arrow from the string, and instantly disappeared into the mouth of the rockery. And the strength was very well controlled, and it happened to land a foot in front of the first mechanism.
Xia Mo didn't think about anything, and used his body technique for the second time, and he strung up at once, easily skimming the first obstacle, and quickly came to the second mechanism at the turning point.
According to the prepared verses, he jumped into the groove, and according to the literal order of the verses, he kept jumping back and forth, left and right, like rabbits.
This process was not slow, and after only a dozen or so breaths, Xia Mo appeared on the ground opposite and stepped to the thick stone door.
Now, it's just the last step away!
