Chapter 119: Traps
All the tomb robbers have also calmed down, Lao Wang's words are indeed not wrong, they are also experienced tomb robbers, there are not a few tombs that have been robbed, and they naturally know that the most difficult ancient tomb to dig in the past dynasties is the ancient tomb of the Qin Dynasty, not to mention that they are now facing the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang?
Thinking of this, the tomb robbers' eyes on the city became different, except for greed, a little fear, and then everyone walked towards the city, and the closer they got to the city, the more careful the tomb robbers became.
"Be careful......" Ren Jian suddenly heard the wind, and knew that someone had touched the mechanism, but unfortunately Ren Jian was still too late to remind, only to see hundreds of sharp arrows burst out, and an unlucky tomb robber was shot by sharp arrows, and he was killed on the spot before he could even scream in a hurry.
"Everybody, don't move! Lao Wang suddenly shouted, and the tomb robbers suddenly did not dare to move, and retreated lightly according to the original way.
Ren Jian also retreated with the group of tomb robbers, although those sharp arrows couldn't break through his defenses at all, and even if he touched the trap, he could easily dodge it with Ren Jian's speed.
However, Ren Jian didn't want a group of tomb robbers to know his strength, and once he touched the mechanism, it would also kill the lives of a group of tomb robbers, Ren Jian had no grievances with them, and they were still here to help, Ren Jian didn't need to kill them all.
Returning to the safe zone, the tomb robbers gathered together, and Lao Wang proposed: "The closer you get to the city, the more dangerous it is, it seems that we have to draw lots!"
The lottery in Lao Wang's mouth is actually very simple, because there are many mechanisms that need someone to explore the way in front, but no one will be so great. So the best way is to draw lots to take turns to explore the path, each person to explore a certain distance, if bad luck touches the mechanism, then you can only blame yourself for bad luck, life and death.
However, since it is a turn to explore the way, it is natural to divide the order, so the lottery came into being, and the person who draws the 'one' is naturally the first to explore the way. The person who draws 'two' will naturally be second.
Although many of the tomb robbers are experienced, there are always times when horses stumble and have bad luck, so it is still very dangerous to find a way.
Lao Wang took good care of Ren Jian, and did not let Ren Jian also participate in the lottery, in fact, he didn't take care of it, because Ren Jian paid for them to come, if Ren Jian hung up, who would pay them? So the tomb robbers had no objection to this.
After the draw was completed, an unlucky tomb robber took the lead in exploring the way, while Ren Jian and the others followed closely behind him. Separated by a distance of about ten meters.
The first grave robber to find the path was lucky, perhaps because he was experienced enough to avoid the mechanism, and walked 500 meters without encountering the mechanism. Then the first pathfinder grave robber completes the mission. Another grave robber continued to explore the path.
"Ah......" The second tomb robber was not so lucky, and after walking three hundred meters to touch the mechanism, the ground suddenly sank and fell into the trap and died.
As he continued to get closer to the city, the appearance of organs became more and more frequent, and Ren Jian occasionally reminded him. Some tomb robbers escaped because of this, but there were still tomb robbers who were slow to react and died after being reminded by Ren Jian.
This shows how dangerous the mechanism in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is, once the mechanism is touched and the trap is triggered, it is difficult to have a chance to dodge.
Moreover, the institutions in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang are very changeable. What sinks, crossbows, oil, boulders...... There are countless types of tomb robbers, although many of the tomb robbers are experienced. But by the time they reached the gate of the city, five tomb robbers had already died.
Although the tomb robbers have rich experience, they have never excavated such a dangerous mausoleum, and this is only outside the city, I don't know how dangerous the mechanism in the city will be, but thinking of those sky-high antiques in the city, the tomb robbers have no intention of giving up.
When he walked into the city, Ren Jian was very surprised, originally Ren Jian thought that the city would be gloomy and dark, but after walking in, he found that the city was enriched with faint fluorescence, and looked at the light source, Ren Jian found that there were some shining stones on the walls of the city.
"This is...?this is glowstone!" Lao Wang had such an expression, if it was glowstone, then it could explain why the city was shrouded in faint fluorescence.
In fact, glowstone has another name, in ancient times, it was called the night pearl, which is a stone that can shine at night.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the night pearl is a symbol of wealth, a night pearl is a priceless city, the walls of the entire city are night pearls, how much is it worth? According to historical records, the night pearl is a valuable treasure, and in ancient times, countless troops were mobilized for a night pearl.
In fact, in fact, most people don't know that the night pearl is an ore called glowstone, which is not a rare ore, as high as one or two thousand yuan, as low as a few hundred yuan each, of course, there is no shortage of high-quality fluorstone with higher value.
"You all follow me, let me lead the way!" Ren Jian thought about it and decided to make a move, now there are only nine of the more than a dozen tomb robbers left, it can be said that there are heavy casualties, and if you don't make a move, you may die later.
"Mr. Ren is not right like this, you don't have the slightest experience, and it is too dangerous to explore the way ahead. Lao Wang frowned slightly to dissuade Ren Jian, and other tomb robbers were also persuading Ren Jian, not because of how deep his friendship with Ren Jian was, but if Ren Jian died, who would give them a reward? After all, it is still unknown whether antiques can be found in the mausoleum, and no one knows whether the mausoleum has been excavated in the end.
Although they found a copper cup antique, it may not be enough for the five tomb robbers to settle in, if Ren Jian hangs them up, wouldn't it be in vain? Therefore, the tomb robbers would rather take risks on their own than have any accidents on Ren Jian.
"Don't worry! You don't know yet! Actually, I'm a Shaolin layman's disciple, and even if some ordinary organs are touched, I can easily dodge them. Ren Jian had no choice but to use Shaolin as a shield again.
"Oh! I didn't expect Mr. Ren to be a disciple of Shaolin...... "A group of tomb robbers suddenly realized that Shaolin's prestige is now in full swing, even if a group of tomb robbers are no matter how lonely they are, they have all heard the glorious deeds of the master of non-obscenity.
"So don't worry, I'm going to be fine. Ren Jian naturally knew the careful thinking of the tomb robbers, but this was also human nature, and Ren Jian didn't have any opinions about them because of this.
Then, under the leadership of Ren Jian, everyone walked towards the interior of the city, with a faint glow emitted by the glowstone, Ren Jian's eyesight was basically unaffected, and he could see the distance very clearly.
