Chapter 1624 Mechanism
Alvin is a man who respects professionalism...
After the group of people had eaten and drank enough, they filed into the small cave in the order assigned just now...
With a height of 1.5 meters, everyone can only bend down to walk, and even at some turning places, everyone can only crawl on the ground.
Alvin hates this kind of cramped and disgusting space!
The feeling that the surrounding walls seemed to be pressing in at any time made him breathe a little faster.
This is not a physical reason but an instinctive human aversion to the condition.
Originally, the corpse vine should be able to help clear the way.
But Alvin is really worried that the rough corpse-eating vines will destroy the quicksand layers and mercury channels surrounding the outer layer of the dungeon...
Whether it is quicksand that floods this channel, or mercury leakage that floods this place...
It may not be a problem for Alvin, but it is a great trouble for Shang-Chi and others, and it may even be fatal...
We have no choice but to move forward honestly along the path taken by our predecessors!
After arduously advancing for an unknown distance, Lu Tong, who was clearing the way ahead, suddenly stopped...
"Boss, dead people, a lot of dead people...
But we seem to be getting somewhere! "
Lu Tong, who was leading the front, had an omnidirectional light on his shoulder and turned sideways to make room so that Alvin behind him could see what was going on ahead...
Alvin half-crouched and moved forward a few steps, and saw a larger stone passage appearing not far ahead...
Dozens of withered corpses, facing in his direction, crawling on the ground in a scrambling posture...
Several corpses were stacked on top of each other, almost blocking the 2-meter-high passage.
And judging from their appearance, they stretched their arms crazily when they died, indicating that they must have been chasing something terrible behind them.
They should have been killed while escaping...
This is also consistent with what happened to the unlucky guy I met outside!
It's just that these people are unlucky, they don't even have a chance to see the light of day again...
Watching Lu Tong open his newly acquired Luoyang shovel, vigorously pushing the corpses that were almost blocking the passage, trying to open a passage...
Alvin hesitated and squeezed past Lao Hu, then pulled Lu Tong and said, "Let me come, you guys step back a little..."
Lu Tong said a little embarrassedly: "Boss, this is rough work...
If you're in a hurry, I'll go up and push it, and then I'll go in first and smooth out the corpses..."
Alvin patted Lu Tong on the shoulder, then stretched out his hand, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket rushed over...
Level 20 "Lightning" hit the pile of corpses, electrocuting the mummies into charcoal, and then moving forward, electrocuting all the corpses along the way into black ash...
After finishing, Alvin motioned for Lu Tong to continue, and then he returned to his position...
Lu Tong looked at the mummies slowly falling to pieces on the ground...
He blinked and glanced at Alvin, who was having a hard time moving, and said to Lao Hu behind him: "Is this the end?
Is our boss too rude? "
Lao Hu's mouth and nose were wrapped in combat uniforms, and he looked at the terrifying scene not far away through his goggles...
After swallowing, Lao Hu pushed Lu Tong, whose confidence seemed to be shaken, and said funny: "That's your boss, not our boss..."
Come on, your boss looks a little impatient!
This shabby place is full of evil, and those people died in strange ways...
No matter what kills them, it must be very powerful! "
Lu Tong shook his head indifferently...
Although Alvin's display of strength stung his pride a bit, it also made him optimistic about subsequent adventures.
“No matter what killed these people, it is also very powerful for us!
Did you see the lightning just now? "
As he spoke, Lu Tong stooped forward and walked to the connection point of the cave entrance. At the same time, he carefully swept the black ashes on the ground to both sides, trying his best to clear a relatively clean passage.
The new corridor is much higher, reaching a height of almost 2.5 meters, and is wide enough for four people to pass side by side.
Lu Tong walked forward a certain distance, allowing Alvin and the others to enter this slightly more comfortable corridor.
Then he took a look at the GPS. After some calculations, he handed the GPS to Lao Hu and said with certainty: "This should be the channel for transporting materials back then. It looks like we are about to arrive..."
Lao Hu glanced at the GPS, then took out a compass the size of a pocket watch, looked at it, and said: "This is the southwest of the dungeon, and it is also the location of the Death Gate among the eight gates.
This corridor must have a powerful mechanism, so the craftsmen who repaired the tomb were able to open a secret passage to the outside without telling the supervisor at the time. "
Old Hu, who was a little uncomfortable being illuminated by the omnidirectional light on Lu Tong's shoulder, squinted his eyes and glanced forward, suddenly patted Lu Tong's shoulder and said, "Look, what is that?"
As he said this, Lao Hu pulled Lu Tong, who wanted to explore forward, and said, "Don't go there, there must be a trap ahead!"
Lu Tong squinted his eyes and looked...
He took out the Luoyang shovel and twisted the mechanism, then moved the Luoyang shovel that was enlarged to 4 meters long with both hands, and slapped the ground of the corridor several times...
After waiting for a few seconds, I found no movement...
Lu Tong smiled and patted the strange-looking Lao Hu on the arm, then walked a few steps forward with a smile...
Picking up a half-foot-long iron thorn and taking a look at it, Lu Tong turned back and said with a smile: "This thing should have been left behind by those people three years ago..."
While Lu Tong was speaking, a sound of mechanical twisting suddenly came from the walls on both sides of the corridor...
Lu Tong knew it was not good as soon as he heard it...
He didn't know why his action just now didn't trigger the mechanism. Instead, he activated the mechanism when he walked here.
Lu Tong, who had no time to think about it, smiled bitterly and protected his head and face with his hands, kicked the ground hard with his legs, and rushed towards Lao Hu...
Following Lu Tong's attack, a "swish" sound suddenly came from both sides of the corridor...
A large number of short bronze arrows hit the walls on both sides of the corridor.
"Crackling" explosions like raindrops kept coming, which made Lao Hu behind him feel excited.
Lu Tong, who reacted extremely quickly, avoided the bronze arrow.
But when he was about to approach Lao Hu, a pair of crossed guillotines suddenly appeared above the corridor and slashed at his waist...
Faced with this unsolvable situation, Lu Tong roared angrily...
Lu Tong, whose blood was boiling, twisted his body forcefully and avoided the first guillotine attack.
With his feet on the ground, Lu Tong faced the second guillotine coming towards him. He waved his fist irritably and punched the side of the guillotine...
The heavy guillotine, which seemed to weigh more than a hundred pounds, was punched in the side by Lu Tong. It made a "click" sound and was severed from the middle, flying and smashing into the depths of the corridor.
After seeing that Lu Tong's crisis was resolved, Alvin breathed a sigh of relief and dispelled the magic "telekinesis" he had prepared...
The situation just now was completely different from the gun battles Alvin always encountered, which made him a little unresponsive.
Fortunately, Lu Tong responded quickly...
Looking at Lu Tong, who was panting nervously, Alvin gave him a thumbs up with a smile and said: "The 'Xiling Leader' does have two brushes...
I was worried just now because I looked down on you a little bit. "
Lu Tong stood up straight, took two deep breaths, looked at Alvin and said a little ashamedly: "Boss, don't praise me...
These mechanisms are more powerful than I thought, and it was my fault for not realizing it.
Although the Xieling School is not as proficient in mechanisms as the 'Moshan Taoist', they should not be as hasty as I was just now.
I was careless, I will pay attention later! "
As he spoke, Lu Tong took another look at the unknown length of the corridor. He shook his head and sighed: "The Tomb of Emperor Qin is indeed a place where all sects and sects are prohibited from entering...
If I hadn't made great progress in my kung fu in the past six months, I might have been here just now.
Damn it, just touching the entrance is so powerful, what is inside? "
Lao Hu looked at the bronze arrows that were shot...
They shot into the walls on both sides and bounced off...
Then those bronze arrows without arrow clusters actually followed the ground high in the middle and low on both sides, and slid into the two small ditches at the corners of the ground on both sides of the corridor...
Listening to the sound of strings coming from the wall, Old Hu smiled bitterly and said: "I have always heard that the level of industrialization in the Qin Dynasty far exceeded that of the funeral. I thought that was nonsense...
I didn’t expect that the mechanism that was thousands of years old could still operate smoothly!
I don’t know how they did it? "
Fatty Wang squeezed up from behind, glanced at the depths of the corridor, and said to Lao Hu with a little worry: "What should we do?
Do you have to force your way through? "
Alvin nodded in agreement after hearing this, and was about to use "violence" to protect everyone and make everyone feel at ease to break through...
Lao Hu shook his head and said: "Among the people who came three years ago, there are experts...
They obviously found the hub of the mechanism here and stopped the operation of the mechanism here!
We should also be able to do this, otherwise it will be too difficult for us to face the cold arrows shot from unknown sources..."
Alvin nodded after hearing this, agreeing with Lao Hu's judgment...
Father Shangqi and his group of more than 300 people were able to enter smoothly, so someone must have sabotaged the mechanism.
And Lao Hu is right about one thing. He can protect them for a while, but it is impossible to protect them 24 hours a day.
It would be too bad if there was a cold arrow shot out and I didn't have time to save people.
When everyone works together to explore, the role of these experts is revealed...
This is the entrance to Emperor Qin’s tomb...
Without Lao Hu and the others, Alvin and Shang-Chi would have no choice but to force their way in, and the consequences would be hard to predict!
"What did you see?"
Alvin looked at the deep corridor carefully. After looking for a long time, he didn't see anything particularly obvious in this corridor, which might be a mechanism...
Watching Lao Hu staring at the position where Lu Tong was attacked before, he looked carefully at the top spot...
Alvin looked there curiously and said, "What's there?
Hey, what is that? "
Lao Hu glanced at Alvin who had discovered something. He smiled and took a few steps forward and took the iron spike he just picked up from the ground from Lu Tong's hand.
His index finger passed through a ring in the center of the iron thorn. Lao Hu skillfully played with the nearly one-foot-long iron thorn twice, and then said with a smile: "This is the Emei thorn. Only masters who are proficient in assassination will use this." Plant a weapon."
As he spoke, Lao Hu looked at the curious Alvin and said with a smile: "The mechanisms here must have been installed before Emperor Qin's death.
Those craftsmen must have a way to control them, otherwise everyone who needs to pass through will be shot to death.
The Qin Emperor's tomb has a history of thousands of years. They definitely didn't have such good steel at that time...
This must be left behind by the masters who broke into the grave before...
This thing just happened to appear in that spot, and I just kind of found it right above there...
So I guess that there must be the hub of the mechanism found by those seniors! "
Alvin nodded in agreement after hearing this...
It was obvious that those people had not been attacked by the agency before, so that could only be because they had found a way to solve the agency.
Giving a thumbs up to Lao Hu, Alvin smiled and picked up the delicate Emei thorn from Lao Hu's hand and looked at it...
"How to use this?"
As he spoke, Alvin looked at Lao Hu's appearance just now and stabbed Emei in his hand twice.
The Emei thorn, which has a spike on one end and a weighted hammer on the other, is surprisingly smooth...
Lao Hu looked at Alvin who liked it, and he smiled and said: "At that position just now, there was a very inconspicuous small hole in the middle of the stone crevice on the top.
That should be the location of the mechanism hub. Inserting this should solve the problem.
To be honest, if it weren't for the omnidirectional lights that cast a little shadow there, I probably wouldn't even have noticed that spot.
Among those people in the past, there must have been experts who were proficient in institutions!
They didn't have equipment like ours at that time, so if you want to find the mechanism hub, you can't just rely on luck..."
After hearing this, Alvin patted Lao Hu on the shoulder with appreciation and said with a smile: "Don't be too modest, I think you are not bad either!
The mind is always more powerful than the fist!
Of course, some people just have bigger fists..."
As Alvin spoke, he drove Tyranny out of his shoulders...
The black obesity is "violent", floating out like the genie in the movie Aladdin's magic lamp.
In everyone's surprised eyes, "Cruelty" turned into a fat djinn rooted on Alvin's shoulders!
Looking at everyone's surprised looks, the "tyrannical" old man put his hands on his chin and moved his neck from side to side, doing the iconic movements of Western dance...
Seeing the two beards on "Volume"'s mouth flipping up and down, he was about to shake his fat belly and transform into a coquettish dancer...
Alvin irritably threw the Emei thorn in his hand to "Volume"...
Then he looked at Lao Hu and the others with a little embarrassment, spread his hands and said: "As a person with very big fists, it is normal to have a few brain-dead brothers...
I'm a kind-hearted person, but I just can't bear to see these idiots being bullied outside!
This is certainly not the case for me! "
