Chapter 23 Exploring the Island - Trap
βββ
Wang Shu didn't pay attention to Teng Chuliang's sudden silence, but told the story of the wooden armor man. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info He said that King Mu of Zhou went west to hunt, crossed the ancient Kunlun Mountain, and met a skilled person named Yanshi on the road. There was a strange person standing beside him with wood grains all over his body, which immediately attracted the attention of King Zhou Mu. Yanshi said that he wanted to perform for the king, and it was this wooden armor man who was dedicated. The wooden man is alive like a real person, he can't help but sing and dance, and his expression is rich, and after the performance, he also throws flattering eyes to King Zhou Mu's beauty. King Mu of Zhou was furious, thinking that Yanshi had deceived him by sticking a wooden veneer with a real person, and wanted to kill him, but Yanshi hurriedly explained that this was indeed a wooden dummy. Then Yanshi dismantled the armor in front of King Zhou Mu, and saw that the bones, fur, teeth, hair, etc. were all fakes, and the internal organs in the abdomen were all made of wood. If the heart is torn apart, the wooden armor man will not be able to speak, if the liver is wasted, his eyes will not be able to see, and if he takes his kidney, he will not be able to do it. Only then did King Zhou Mu believe it. β
The story of the wooden armor people, Wang Shu can recite it backwards in his childhood. At the family dinner, his father also asked him to tell the story to his family in public.
Chris didn't expect that there were wooden mecha people in ancient China, and listening to the story so true, she told herself that the ancients didn't know the theory of traveling through time and space and parallel worlds...... These, maybe it's because the Yanshi is like himself, he came from the future, and returned to the Warring States with the 'robot', so there is such a story.
After listening to Wang Xu's story, Teng Chuliang smiled lightly, pointed to the head of the armor that was shaking by himself, and said, "This is all in front of you, do you still think it's a story?"
Wang Shu was silent.
Judging from what Zhang Yi recorded, could the wooden armor man in front of him be made by a person who knew the art of wooden armor in the ancient Shu Kingdom? He suddenly murmured: "If you tear down his heart, he will not be able to speak, if he dismantles his liver, he will not be able to see, and if he takes his kidney, he will not be able to do enough." That's right, let's just fight like this and see if we can subdue it!" he slapped his thigh and shouted at Hong Qili: "Brother A, take his kidney, it won't work." Try hitting it on the waist!"
At this time, Hong Qili had already fought with the headless armor man for dozens of times, although the headless armor man was not as agile as it used to be, how could it be rough and thick, Hong Qili was like defeating the armor every time he hit the armor, and it didn't play any role at all. At this time, he heard Teng Chuliang shouting, just as the first man punched again, Hong Qili and Jiugong flashed, and then he came behind the first person, his toes touched the joints of the wooden legs of the first person, and his body flew up in mid-air, and his palms came out together, hitting the back of the first person. But when he saw a sudden stumble under his feet, his body shook violently, and everyone was happy to see it, but he immediately adjusted his body slightly, and grabbed him with his big hand. Hong Qili slapped a few palms in succession, all of which hit the back of Man A, but Man A only slowed down a little, and then moved freely again. When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but be disappointed.
Whether it's made of wood, made of titanium, or deformed memory metal, Chris is no stranger to the concept of robots. Looking at the wooden armor man in the square, rushing towards Hong Qili in a hurry, Chris fell into deep thought: compared with the previous movements, the lack of head obviously still has a great impact on it, the movements are sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and the accuracy has also decreased significantly.
"I've got a way!" Chris said with an idea, "Let's lead it to the dragon formation and let the mechanism in the formation deal with it." β
Teng Chuliang was pleasantly surprised: "That's right! Why didn't I think that Brother Jia would lead the wooden armor people into the Dragon Formation." β
Wang Xuan glanced at Ouyang Feng, and even he had to admit that it was a brilliant idea. Still, he cautioned, "We may only have one chance, we have to let it fall into the trap completely, and we don't know if we're going to be able to clean it up." β
He asked Chang Yu to recruit all his soldiers, and Ning Yifei and Yin Chen also joined them.
Wang Shu said: "Let's go in and set up a tripping rope, and you notify them!"
After speaking, with human hands and ropes, he entered the black gate first.
Chris and Teng Chuliang then rushed into the square, and as soon as they joined up with Hong Qili and the three of them, they tried to lure the wooden armor man.
A good trap needs a good bait.
It seems that because his head was knocked off by Hong Qili, the headless wooden armor man chased after him. As long as he encounters an obstacle, Hong Qili will induce an attack to make the big guy follow suit.
Wang Shu had already set up a rope trap outside the Dragon Formation and set up an ambush.
The moon shone on this black wooden village, and everything was ready, only the east wind was owed.
Finally, Chris and the others entered the open door, and Hong Qili followed. The headless wood-armored man trailed in his tow.
Chris, Xiong Daiying, Teng Chuliang and the old man with green beard came to the back of the wooden wall of the pointed pillars first, and a group of people were hidden on each side, pulling the two ends of the "tripping horse".
Soldiers are not tired of deceit, and there are two layers to this trip. The first layer is to stumble the wooden armor into the dragon formation, and the second layer is to prevent it from trying to escape.
Eight zhang, four zhang, two zhang......
Hong Qili had already walked to the edge of the first floor, he looked to both sides, and gave Wang Xu a look.
Wang Shu raised his hand, ready to give an order, and the guy was only one step away from the trap.
Hong Qili turned around, slapped his palm, and then jumped up violently, directly stepping over all the planks with ground thorns, and jumping into the circle in the center.
Wang Shu swallowed his saliva, he now thinks that this big guy is walking too slowly...... But it's getting closer and closer.
The Wooden Armor Man stepped in, and at the same time stepped into the circular rope loop laid on the floor.
The timing must not be deviated in the slightest.
Then came the other foot.
As soon as Wang Xu's hand fell, the ambush soldiers on both sides pulled the rope hard.
As the Wooden Armor Man continued to move forward, the rope jerked backwards.
Wang Shu closed his eyes after giving the order, but he could still feel a dark shadow swooping down, and he also felt a strong wind hitting his cheeks, and he opened his eyes...... The Wooden Armor Man has literally fallen. That's really good news.
The bad news is that the Spike Trap didn't pop up.
Everyone was a little at a loss for a while.
The Wooden Armor Man was already struggling, and as soon as it moved, it pulled the rope, and the people were dragged forward and fell by the great force.
In any case, people can't be dragged in. Wang Shu said: "Let go." β
Went to the restraints, and saw that the wooden armor man was about to get up.
Seeing this, Hong Qili jumped out of the center of the circle, and he jumped on the planks everywhere, but he couldn't trigger the ground stabbing mechanism.
In the midst of the thunder, Chris turned and rushed to the log pillar called "Death", pulled out two mallets from the hole, and she struck Death desperately.
As long as it's not the right rhythm, it can trigger a ground stab. Don't give me that small probability!!
"Knock knock...... Knock Knock...... Boom...... Knock knock knock!"
A haphazard rhythm came out.
Just then, a spiked stake under two planks popped out.
Hong Qili jumped back to the center of the circle.
When Chris saw it, he was even more playful, as if she was at a rock party with unprecedented pomp and roll.
Countless spiky stakes pierced the Wooden Armor's iron sheet, nailing it to the ground. After a while they began to rotate in their own orbit. More spiked stakes were spinning, maybe not piercing hard enough, but the torque from pulling on each other was terrifying. Everyone heard the sound of tearing, and the wooden armor people did not cry out in pain, but the loud sound of dismemberment, as if instead of howling, was equally harsh.
Chris stood on a high place, looking at the splashes of metal, wood, leather, and resin, and for some reason, she suddenly felt that the wooden armor man was a little pitiful. I thought: It's a pity that such a delicate wooden armor man has been destroyed!
When everything subsided, she jumped. I tried to step on the plank, but found that the thorns still hadn't popped out.
It appears that the unit on the floor has failed.
She walked in, looked at the parts and gears that had been torn apart and scattered all over the place, and she suddenly remembered, something, and searched for it.
Also entering the Dragon Formation with her was Teng Chuliang. Even though he was a broken armorer, he still wanted to find something.
Hong Qili walked over to her from the center of the circle and asked, "What are you looking for?"
Without looking up, Chris replied while looking: "Its heart, I saw it just now! β
Chris walked over to a pile of wreckage and flipped through it, she saw a red object and picked it up.
"Found it!"
She showed Hong Qili that it was really the shape of a heart.
Chris pinched it, and it turned out to be elastic, and the material was resinous.
After opening, the pupils of both of them dilated slightly. It was a palm-sized blue heart-shaped gemstone.
Chris held out his finger and was about to touch it, but his hand stopped. To tell the truth, the last time she picked up a strange stone, it didn't end well, and she looked at the hell she was in right now, and sighed, she took the gem back into the resin bag and put it in her sleeve.
Teng Chuliang also finished cleaning the battlefield and collected some delicate parts. Obviously, his mood is not high, Chris can imagine, he must be feeling the same way as himself just now, feeling sorry for the wooden armor man.
She walked over and called Brother Teng, but seeing his sad expression, she didn't know what to say. Holding out a hand to comfort him, the two of them were immersed in their respective thoughts and walked out without a word.
Xiong Daiying and Hong Qili walked silently behind them.
Seeing that a few of them were back, Qin Yujiu also walked out of the thatched hut and nodded, "It seems that it was a success." β
Hong Qili saw that Teng Chuliang and Chris were not in high spirits, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Everyone is tired, it is better to rest early." β
As soon as the words fell, in the dark corner, the door of a hexagonal thatched hut made a "dang" sound. The crack creaked as the crack parted, and a thick wooden door opened from the inside.
A vague figure stood on the threshold.
Wang Xuan and Chang Yutong also walked from behind, and the torches in the hands of the soldiers illuminated that side.
She is slender and a woman.
She wore a black dress, and her white hair was curled into a small bun.
The old lady was kind, but it was Chris's face that caught Chris's eyeβonly a trace of wrinkle at the corner of her mouth on her smooth, firm skin, and her amber eyes.
She surveyed the people in front of her, then turned to look at the massive head that had smashed a thatched hut.
As if he was very happy to see her, the wooden armor man actually blinked his big eyes and stared at her with affection.
The old lady's face tensed, as if she was suppressing something, so as not to let her surging feelings come out.
Chris and Teng Chuliang exchanged glances, and exchanged opinions with subtle expressions: Could the old lady be the owner of the wooden armor man?
Teng Chuliang's head was slightly small, it seemed that he thought so too.
Chris thought deeper: We rushed into other people's territory, the wooden armor man was supposed to guard the village, to be honest, it didn't really hurt anyone, it was demolished by us, and now it seems that we have done a little too much.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Chris briefly said how he fell into the crack in the stone, everyone fought the scorpion, and fled here, and in the end, he said faster and faster, "It's all because the scorpion made people panic, and when he saw the big guy, he didn't think he would do it, and now he really shouldn't ...... it."
The old woman looked at her anxious explanation, and felt a little amused, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
"We really shouldn't have just dismantled it!" Chris felt more and more guilty as he spoke, and his voice grew quieter, before finally muttering, "I'm sorry." β
The old woman did not respond to her kindness, and said in a brisk tone: "The old man did not expect that he could kill this eye-catching creature like this. β
"Well, what?" said Chris, with a puzzled look in his eyes.
Wang Shu frowned, thinking that Ouyang Feng had said useless things for a long time, and wanted to find out what this old woman knew, so he went straight to the point and interjected: "This old-timer, think about it......"
"Do you want to know how you can go back?" the old woman finished the rest of the words for Wang Xu, and her voice sounded light.
Wang Shu was amazed that she could immediately guess what she wanted to ask the most, although he was also curious about the name of the village, the identity of the old woman, and the wooden armor man...... But the most important thing for me right now is to get back to Salmon Island as soon as possible.
Looking at the old woman again, I found that her eyes were like torches and very sharp.
"Why are you ......," Wang Xu's second half of the words were swallowed back in the old woman's gaze.
"Even if you release red and black snake smoke, the people on the island will not be able to take you away, here, they will not be able to get by!" the old woman shrugged, she bit the last two words hard, "I can go back from here." β
"How do I go back? Wang Shu asked in a low voice.
Without answering directly, the old woman turned her head and carefully looked at the people present, she pointed to Teng Chuliang with a gloomy expression, "You!" and then pointed to Chris who was standing behind Wang Xu, "And you! Come in with me, and the old body will tell you the answer." β
With that, she turned and walked back into the house.
All doubts are in that door, and there is no choice.
After a period of silence, Chris made a funny expression at Teng Chuliang.
The two walked in together.
