Volume 19, Chapter 243: The Mechanism of Watching People’s Dishes

With my personality, it is obviously unrealistic for me to wait here when I am about to arrive. We have to find a way to get through. Since you can't be opportunistic, you have to use the stupidest method.

"Suellen."

"What's up?"

"How heavy was the stone that fell?"

"Ah?" Su Lun suddenly looked at me in surprise. "You don't want to carry that thing, do you?"

"What? What's the problem?"

"I advise you not to think about that kind of thing. That thousand catty stone is just the name we gave it, and it definitely weighs more than a thousand catties. The two-hundred-meter-long passage is three and a half meters wide, and we don't know how many people there are on it. High. Do you think you can carry such a large stone? I admit that you are number one in the world's combat power list, but that is a combat power list after all, not a strongman ranking. Besides, even if you are the world's number one strongman, It's impossible to lift this stone."

"It's true that I can't lift it, but that doesn't mean I can't hold on to the rocks above."

"Hold on?"

I nodded and walked into the passage first. The first half of this 200-meter passage will not trigger the mechanism. Only when someone steps on the back half of the passage will the rocks above their heads fall down, so the front half is safe.

After reaching the dividing line in the middle of the passage, I looked up at the ceiling above my head. Almost all of it was filled with large and small potholes. Needless to say, they were left by the unlucky people who had passed here before.

Su Lun was afraid that the roof of the cave would fall and I wouldn't be able to hold on and hit him inside too, so he didn't follow me at all. He just shouted at the entrance: "President Ziri, be careful! This stone is really heavy. .”

"Don't worry, this little thing won't trouble me." I said, then opened the Phoenix Dragon Space and started taking things out.

Since the thousand-jin stone can now be hung on the cave roof, it means that its weight can be supported. After all, it is just stone, not steel. Besides, even if there is a solid steel ingot on top of the head, it can be supported by just a few steel pillars. Of course, anyone can think of this method, but not many people have the ability to use it. After all, the system now cancels the player's own space. All players who want to bring things with them can only use baggage to hang them on their bodies except for space equipment. Although the system release increased the production of space equipment after the cancellation of private space, the total amount is still very small, and most of them are small space equipment. Normally, it would not be a big problem to bring some medicine, food, special props, etc. to the leveling point, but it would not be possible to install pure steel support pillars inside. Besides, it's definitely not possible to support such a large stone with just one or two pillars. There must be more.

In fact, I didn’t bring any pillars with me. After all, even if the Phoenix Dragon Space was big enough, I wouldn’t be able to install a few pillars in it and carry it with me, right? This is not a question of whether it can be installed or not, but a question of what it is installed for.

However, although I did not bring steel support columns, there were many large trees in my Fenglong space. Trees have many uses. First of all, they can be broken down into wood, and wood can be used to make many things. So as long as you bring a big tree, it means that you can have many tools to choose from at critical moments. . This is why I am used to bringing whole trees instead of cut tools. After all, trees can be processed into tools at any time, and one tool cannot quickly become another tool.

I got ten big trees out of Fenglong Space, and then I started processing these big trees with Eternal Cutting. First cut off all the branches on the tree, and then cut the trunk that requires several people to hug into two-meter-high wooden stakes. After erecting them, it becomes the simplest pillar.

Originally, it would take a lot of time to process these woods, but the cutting tools I used were timeless and not ordinary. Cutting a steel plate with eternal sharpness is almost like cutting yellow clay with a knife. Cutting wood is not like cutting tofu at all? Besides, I just need those tree trunks for support, and I don’t need to process them to any specifications. I don’t need to cut all the branches on the trunks, as long as they don’t get in the way.

Su Lun finally ran over excitedly after seeing me erecting pillars one after another in the first 100 meters of passage. When I saw him coming over, I looked at him funny and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

Su Lun shook his head awkwardly and said, "If you had told me that you had so much wood, I wouldn't hide outside."

I was just joking with Su Lun, and I didn't mean to blame him. After the joke was over, I asked seriously: "Do you think these pieces of wood can hold up?"

Su Lun looked back at the densely piled wood in the first half of the passage, and then said: "I think it should be able to hold it. Although the stone is very heavy, the wood you used does not seem to be ordinary trees, and besides, the stone is very heavy. After so much, I think I can handle it.”

I nodded and said, "These wood were originally intended to be used for building ships, so they are all very strong wood."

"No wonder." Su Lun knocked on the wood next to him and said, "But isn't it too wasteful to use such good wood as support columns?"

"Indonesia is full of such trees, and they are almost in ruins on the local streets. The reason why they are expensive in other places is because of the transportation cost, not because the wood is expensive. But for me, the cost is zero, so it is not worth it at all to me."

Su Lun said enviously: "You Frost Rose Alliance are really rich."

"This is not a question of having money or not, but a question of sphere of influence. Indonesia has always been the sphere of influence of our Frost Rose Alliance since it was destroyed by us. Although many of its cities have been sold to other guilds, we have Controls the most important strategic points. Whenever we want to take back those cities, it is a simple matter. So, to us, these wood are not valuable at all, we can have as much as we want, but if you change the guild, you want these When the wood is shipped out, it depends on whether our Frost Rose Alliance's Third Ocean Fleet agrees."

"Your guild still has a third fleet?"

"To be precise, we have eight fleets, but only the first three fleets are particularly powerful. The rest are escort fleets with few ships and small tonnage." In fact, the total number of fleets in our guild is not eight, but should There are eleven branches, eight is the number announced to the outside world. In addition to the eight fleets that are often exposed in front of various guild meetings, our guild also has a special attack fleet composed purely of capital ships, which is an emergency reserve type and basically does not participate in any activities. There are also two fleets, one of which is the fog fleet composed entirely of ghost ships. Other guilds know a little bit about this fleet, but they don't know the specific number and combat power. They just know that we seem to have such a fleet. A fleet. In addition, because of its relationship with Atlantis, our guild is also equipped with a diving fleet, but the combat effectiveness of this fleet is relatively weak. Its significance lies in unexpected raids and covert transportation. Of course, these are the secrets of our guild, and it is impossible for me to tell them to a tour guide.

After Su Lun sighed again, I put down another pillar, then looked at the passage in front and said, "Okay, now I'm going to go over and see if the pillars we put up can hold up the stones above. Go ahead. If you're scared, just hide outside and come back when you're sure the pillars work."

Su Lun looked guiltily at the pillars behind him and then looked up at the rocks above his head, and finally decided to stay. After all, so many pillars do look very safe. As long as the height of the thousand-pound stone above is not too abnormal, it should generally be able to withstand it.

After confirming that Su Lun did not intend to return to the entrance of the passage, I crossed the dividing line in the center of the passage. I don’t know if this place is to make it easier for everyone to confirm the location, so a copper dividing line was artificially made on the ground. This line is exactly the midpoint of the passage. If you step over it, the mechanism will be triggered. This half is absolutely safe.

As I crossed the copper dividing belt, Su Lun closed his eyes nervously. However, what was surprising was that nothing happened after I stood there. After waiting for a while and hearing no sound, Su Lun carefully opened his eyes and looked up, only to find that the stone on the top was exactly as it should be, but it hadn't moved at all.

I jumped on the spot twice in confusion, and then found that the stone above my head still didn't respond, so I lowered my head and asked Su Lun in confusion. "Wouldn't the stone above your head fall off if you cross this line? Why didn't you react?"

Su Lun is also full of questions now. According to his past experience, it should be said that the stone should fall down as soon as my first foot hits the ground. He walked toward me in confusion and said, "It's strange. Usually, rocks fall off as soon as your feet hit the ground. What's going on today?"

I immediately laughed when I heard what he said and said, "Hahahaha, it seems I'm really lucky, this mechanism is broken."

Just as I finished saying this, Su Lun happened to cross the line and stepped on the passage here, and then heard a metal collision, followed by a loud bang. The top of the passage slammed down, and Su Lun was so frightened that he quickly squatted on the ground holding his head. However, before he could squat down completely, there was a sudden loud clicking sound in the passage, and after waiting for a while, Su Lun realized that he was not crushed. He looked up and found that the top of the passage had indeed come down, but it had only become shorter. The ceiling of the passage, which was originally more than four meters above the ground, was now only two meters above the ground, but it stopped. Of course, this is not what it wants to stop. Under normal circumstances, it should always be in close contact with the ground and pat everything between it and the ground into pie. Unfortunately, its wish could not be realized this time, because the wood successfully supported its weight and prevented it from contacting the ground.

"Well, it seems my wood works quite well."

Su Lun also looked back at the wood, and then said tremblingly: "Huh, luckily I can hold on."

Although this is just a game, it’s not a big deal even if you die, but just like you will instinctively close your eyes when someone hits you in the eye with something quickly, normal people will unconsciously do it when they see something suddenly hitting their head. Being afraid and secreting a large amount of adrenaline at that moment caused the whole person's heartbeat and blood circulation speed to increase to a quite terrifying speed.

Although Su Lun was not hit just now, his heart almost jumped out of fright. Even now, he still feels his heart beating wildly in his chest.

Just when we were sighing that these wooden pillars were working, we suddenly heard a sound that was not quite right. There was just a click, and the bark of a tree trunk in the distance suddenly exploded outwards, as if there was a bomb inside the trunk.

"No, those logs can't hold it anymore." After the outer bark of the first tree trunk exploded, the subsequent tree trunks began to explode one by one. Obviously, the pressure on the top stone was too great, and the wood was about to be unable to hold it. .

Su Lun was so frightened when he saw this situation that he quickly rushed forward holding his head, fearing that the ceiling would fall and crush him to death inside. However, he had just taken two steps when the tree trunks behind him suddenly burst open, and the roof of the cave that had been held up was pressed down again.

Seeing the roof of the cave falling again, Su Lun was so frightened that he forgot to run this time. He could only sit down on the ground in fear and watch in horror as the roof of the cave gradually dropped. However, just when the top of the cave reached only one and sixty meters above the ground, the falling speed of the entire top of the cave suddenly slowed down again, and after continuing to fall for a few minutes, it stopped there completely.

Surprised, Su Lun suddenly turned over and looked back as if he had suddenly reacted. As a result, he saw me lowering my head and making a lifting motion with my hands, using my hands and shoulders to support the entire falling ceiling. At that moment Su Lun's jaw almost dropped.

"President Ziri, you..."

I didn't have time to talk to Su Lun at all. At this time, I was already gritting my teeth and almost using up all my energy to suck milk. Of course, if it were in a normal state, even if I used all my strength, I still wouldn't be able to withstand such a heavy rock. After all, the size of this thing is almost as big as a skyscraper. The only person who can carry something as big as the Empire State Building on his shoulders is the guy who likes to wear his underwear outside. I don’t think I’m that strong. The reason why I can hold up this building-like rock is entirely because of the dazzling golden turtle shell that is sticking to my chest.

Xuanwu Armor, a token of the sacred beast Xuanwu. As long as you carry it close to your body, you can inject magic into it to temporarily borrow Xuanwu's power. As the most powerful Xuanwu among the four holy beasts, let alone such a stone, even if the entire altar is lifted up, it will not be much more difficult than grabbing a brick in the hands of ordinary people. However, the problem now is that Xuanwu's power can withstand it, but my magic power is falling like a horse watch. The cost of using the power of the holy beast is to consume my magic power. To me, the Black Tortoise Armor is like a fuel engine that can change the power at any time. As long as the magic power as fuel is sufficient, its power can lift mountains and hold the cauldron. , but with this output power, my magic power is also consumed super fast. However, although the magic power is consumed at an alarming rate, I am not too anxious. After all, my magic power is also very considerable. Although the current rate of loss is exaggerated, it will still take some time to exhaust my magic power.

"Idiot, what are you doing standing still? Why don't you go over and press the stop switch?" Seeing Su Lun still in a daze, I couldn't help but curse him.

Su Lun didn't mind me scolding him. When he heard my words, he realized what I said and quickly got up and ran forward like flying. However, just when he ran a dozen steps, the T-shaped passageway directly in front of us But suddenly a stone gate opened, and then the original T-shaped intersection turned into a crossroads.

"Huh?" Seeing the sudden extra passage, Su Lun was stunned for a moment. But fortunately, he also knew that it was difficult for me to carry a mountain of rocks, so he didn't slow down much. However, just after he ran a few more steps, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the passage ahead.

Su Lun didn't realize what was going on, but I did. "Su Lun, stop quickly and come back."

Su Lun stopped suddenly while running, and then looked back at me in surprise, but before he could ask, I shouted again: "Run back quickly, get behind me."

"But……"

"No but. If you don't want to die, come back to me."

Although he didn't know what I meant, Su Lun immediately turned around and started running back. However, as he was running back, a strange wind sound suddenly came from ahead. The sound had a strange buzzing sound, just like the roar when the subway enters the station.

Su Lun looked back at the other end of the passage in surprise, and then his eyes suddenly widened because he saw a white dot flying towards him at lightning speed. However, just as he was stunned and stunned, three figures suddenly rushed past him, and then he saw an angel stopped in front of him and raised a large shield and shouted Said: "Absolute barrier."

As the angel shouted, a translucent light wall suddenly appeared in the passage, and then the white dot in the distance rushed to us like lightning and hit the shield in the center of the light wall with a bang. At the same time, The two angel-like metal figures on both sides also hit this side of the light wall at the same time. The three figures were pressing against the light wall with their shoulders and arms, while the thing opposite was pressing against the front of the light wall.

Although they were three against one, the three figures still couldn't withstand the impact of the thing on the opposite side. The three figures leaned against the light wall at the same time, but their feet kept sliding back on the ground. And it also pulled out three sparks on the ground.

Su Lun, who was still in a daze, was knocked down by the light wall without any reaction at all, and then was pushed back together. However, during the sliding process, more figures began to top the light wall one after another and push forward hard. Finally, when the light wall was only one step away from me, it finally stopped completely.

Almost as soon as it came to a complete stop, the thing on the other side of the light wall fell to the ground with a bang and turned into a pile of powder. Although it is broken, we have seen its true form. This thing is a stone pillar, about one meter in diameter and ten meters long. Such a large pillar made of pure stone flew over at the speed of an arrow, and one can imagine its great kinetic energy. If it weren't for Jingjing's absolute barrier that would never break as long as the magic power was not empty, most people probably wouldn't be able to stop this thing. However, at the moment when the stone pillar fell to the ground and turned into powder, we suddenly heard the same buzzing sound again. Needless to say, another stone pillar flew over.

"Su Lun, why didn't you tell me earlier if there was such a mechanism?"

Suddenly hearing my words, Su Lun quickly turned around and said with an aggrieved face: "I want to know, do you think I will come in and wait with you to die?"
