Chapter 757: Cracking the Code

An even more excited emotion than before quietly grew in Zuo Feng's heart, and his eyes followed the groove that held the spirit jade crystal to look inside.

After careful observation, it was found that the workmanship of this groove was not only very sophisticated, but also that every detail in it seemed to have some kind of function. Even someone like Zuo Feng who didn't know much about mechanical arts felt that the mechanical arts displayed by this groove were very extraordinary.

There were various extremely precise small pieces in it, and these small pieces were closely linked to each other, as if just touching one position would trigger the operation of the entire mechanism.

During the continuous observation, Zuo Feng felt that this simple storage groove in front of him was so complicated, giving him a feeling of difficulty in getting started.

However, he already had a guess in his heart, but he didn't want to give up so easily. At least he had to confirm whether his guess was correct before he could be content.

When thinking about this, Zuo Feng subconsciously reached out to the center of the groove. When his index finger touched the cold metal base at the bottom of the groove, Zuo Feng hesitated again.

If this mechanism is prepared for storing important items, then the existence below must be much more precious than the spirit-gathering jade crystal. Since it is such an important item, it is a bit abnormal to open the mechanism so simply.

Then these mechanisms are clearly placed there, which can only explain one problem, that this mechanism is not the correct way to open it, but should be a trap.

Thinking of this, Zuo Feng felt a chill in his heart. If he unlocked the mechanism without careful consideration, he might be waiting for a disaster.

Zuo Feng's analysis is very reasonable. In fact, this mechanism is indeed prepared for those who want to crack the mechanism. If Zuo Feng really triggers the mechanism, then the pavilion here will be completely destroyed, and all the existence in the pavilion will be destroyed along with it.

The many mechanisms at the bottom and around the groove seem to be able to unlock the mechanism of the entire mechanism, but in fact, no matter which one Zuo Feng touches, the result is the same, that is, destruction.

Fortunately, although Zuo Feng knows little about the mechanism, he can accurately capture the mind of the person who set the mechanism, which avoids a disaster.

Staring at the groove in front of him with a frown, Zuo Feng pondered again. But after thinking for a while, his brows gradually relaxed, and then he showed a smile.

Since this mechanism is not a so-called decoration, it should have a specific function when it is installed, so we can also draw a conclusion from this, that there is indeed some kind of item in it.

With this idea, Zuo Feng was naturally happy in his heart, and this also confirmed that his guess was right, but he still needed to think carefully and observe to find a way to open it.

Thinking of this, Zuo Feng began to observe carefully, and this time he was not limited to the top of the stone platform pillar, but continued to go down along the stone pillar.

With Zuo Feng's unremitting efforts, Zuo Feng finally made some discoveries. The reason for the discovery is that Zuo Feng has a firm opinion in his heart, so he can find the problem. If someone who doesn't know the whole story, he can't find the secrets in it just by continuous observation.

After Zuo Feng's continuous observation, he found that the entire stone pillar was empty, and the inside should have a mechanism placed inside it like the groove on the top. This is the conclusion he came to after his continuous observation and distinguishing the changes in the sound after gently knocking.

He was naturally happy to see this result, but at the same time he was at a loss as to how to unlock the mechanism. After his observation, he found that there was not only a mechanism inside the stone pillar, but also under the ground under his feet, and the layout of the mechanism was about two meters.

The existence of the mechanism in such a large range shocked Zuo Feng. Obviously, this is much more complicated than he guessed at the beginning. If he really opened the mechanism in a muddle, the consequences would be very pessimistic.

After a moment of silence, Zuo Feng knew that it was not a solution to delay here. Now the time here has changed, and he can't judge how long he has spent in the outside world. At least it took more than an hour to study this mechanism, and it was not a solution to continue to delay like this.

After hesitating for a long time, Zuo Feng finally decided to give it a try. After observing for so long, Zuo Feng had made some discoveries and speculations, but the risk of opening it now was also not small.

But he was very unwilling not to take a risk and try it. This time he still needed to take a gamble. If the bet is wrong, not only will the treasure hunt fail, but there will also be great danger. Although this place is special and can prevent warriors from dying, that is when the rules of this place are operating normally.

If the mechanism in the entire pavilion is activated, it is still unknown whether the rules here are still useful. In other words, if I trigger the trap mechanism, I may really die here.

Of course, if the mechanism is successfully opened, the harvest must be extremely rich, and I can leave here unscathed.

After weighing it for a moment, Zuo Feng gritted his teeth slightly and reached out to hug the stone pillar in front of him with both hands. He knew that in the face of such a situation, sometimes the more he weighed, the less he could make a calm judgment, and he even didn't know what he really thought in his heart.

Since he has come to this point and he doesn't want to give up easily, he might as well grit his teeth and give it a try.

The trial observation just now made Zuo Feng somewhat aware that there were mechanisms on the entire ground and stone pillars. There seems to be some connection between the stone pillars and the mechanisms on the ground. If the obvious mechanism like the groove on it is not the real way to open it, then there should be only one key that can open it, which is the stone pillar supporting the stone platform in front of you.

In fact, this seems very risky, but Zuo Feng is not the kind of reckless person. He judged that the possibility of using this stone pillar to open the mechanism was very high, and there should be no other way to open it. Now all that's left is how to use the stone pillars. The method is the key.

What he was ultimately hesitating about was how to use the stone pillar to open it. If the way to open it was wrong, even if the key point was found correctly, the result might be completely opposite.

This stone pillar is connected to the ground, so it is obviously the most impossible to lift it upward directly. Then what's left is rotation. The question is how to rotate, left or right.

Faced with this problem, Zuo Feng also pondered for a while, but in the end there was no clue. In the end, Zuo Feng could only choose to try to the right. This was not the result of his research, but a normal reaction when he wanted to choose this stone pillar.

But after applying a little force to the right, I found that I couldn't move at all. Shaking his head with a wry smile, he changed the direction and tried to the left. The stone pillar was actually able to move. It's just that when rotating this stone pillar, it takes a lot of force.

Zuo Feng used almost all the power he could use now to make the stone pillar slowly rotate to the left. As the stone pillars rotated, the sounds of painful collisions like "clicks" continued to be heard. During this process, Zuo Feng was also extremely nervous and highly concentrated.

Although the stone pillar was very heavy, Zuo Feng did not dare to relax at all, or even take a slight pause. Zuo Feng once heard that the more complex the mechanism, the stricter the requirements for opening it. Sometimes even small errors during startup can cause bad consequences.

Therefore, Zuo Feng did not dare to pause after turning the stone pillar, and even the twisting speed remained at a fixed state. After the heavy stone pillar twisted in a circle, a vague "click" sound came from inside the stone pillar. This sound was immediately noticed by Zuo Feng's highly concentrated attention.

At the same time as the sound came, I also felt a resistance on my hands at the junction between the stone pillar and the ground. I didn't dare to put down the stone pillar without any pause. Zuo Feng knew that his previous steps were correct, otherwise he would not be so calm now.

After calming down a little, Zuo Feng hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and pushed the stone pillar downward. As he exerted force, the stone pillar that originally seemed to be lying flat on the ground immediately sank two inches into the ground. This process was not fast, but it happened in an instant.

When the stone pillar sank into a certain position in the ground, I felt that the entire stone pillar seemed to become slightly lighter. The moment this feeling came to him, he hugged the stone pillar and pulled it up. At this time, the stone pillar suddenly became very light, and the stone pillar was pulled out from the ground with just a slight exertion.

When the stone pillar left the ground, Zuo Feng felt his scalp go numb for an instant.

The stone pillar in front of him was indeed hollow, and after pulling out the stone pillar, what frightened Zuo Feng the most was the densely packed middle-grade and high-grade flame crystals inside the hollow stone pillar. These flame crystals are stored in some special crystal bottles, and the crystal bottles contain very special liquids.

Although he didn't understand what these liquids were, after observing them from the perspective of an alchemist, Zuo Feng, he immediately came to a conclusion. These liquids that store the flame crystals seem to store the liquid spiritual energy together with the flame crystals in an extremely stable manner.

It's just that they don't know how they treated the surface of the flame crystal so that the flame crystal and liquid spiritual energy would not mix together. If once mixed, these liquids will cause these flame crystals to explode immediately. With that power, not to mention this pavilion, I am afraid that the area within a hundred feet will be reduced to ashes.

Thinking about it, if he had made a mistake before, I am afraid that these flame crystals would have become his death talisman. Zuo Feng couldn't help but feel chills in his vest.
