Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 288 Iron Wall! (4000)

"This is?!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

They followed Wu Liang to steal so many tombs, and they had never encountered a similar situation. How could they be trapped in such a small space in the blink of an eye?
But it's actually not that small, there is still about ten square meters of space for everyone to move around.

It might be a bit crowded for a group of six people to live in, but if they just stand like they are now, the space is actually relatively spacious, and it shouldn't be a big problem even if they lie down together.

But that's not the point!

The point is, they seem to be stuck...

"My lord, my lord, this shouldn't be an illusion, right?"

Yu Ji's old face wrinkled again, and asked with a look of fear.

"Hiss - ah! Talented brother, why are you pinching me like that?!"

Wu Liang hadn't responded yet, but Zhuge Liang suddenly cried out in pain.

Then Wu Liang took back the hand pinching the back of Zhuge Liang's neck unhurriedly, and said seriously: "It seems not, Brother Zhuge is still very sensitive to pain, and just now when the walls fell, it was the loud and violent noise. The vibration cannot be explained simply by the word 'illusion', as well as the accompanying dust. These things can't be a blindfold. I'm afraid we really triggered the mechanism in the tomb and were trapped here by the connected trap. .”

"This...how is this good?"

Yu Ji's old face suddenly wrinkled even tighter, and he began to cry and mourn, "The old man just wanted to say that these mechanisms and mysteries are very weird, but now he is really stuck after trying it out, oh--what a crime, I knew it would be so convenient It’s better to accept it as soon as it’s good, why are we bothering?”

"I said you are a shameless old boy. When Young Master Cai asked you just now, you also said that you would be unwilling to leave, and you would not complain anyway. Now that we have just been trapped, you immediately initiated Whistle, do you have a gatekeeper for that broken mouth of yours?"

Yang Wanli finally got hold of the conversation, and immediately began to mock him again.

"You are born to have trouble with this old man? Now that this old man has never blamed anyone, don't you want to complain when you are about to die?"

"If you want to complain, you just say it in your heart, and if you say it, you disturb the morale of the army. If it's not that the young master doesn't care about you, you are a capital offense!"

"My lord hasn't said anything yet. How can it be your turn to teach me a lesson? This old man sees that you are acting like an overreacher. You obviously don't take you seriously!"

"Don't talk nonsense, you old boy!"

"You are the one with bad intentions!"

"..."

Within two sentences, the pair of enemies started arguing again, and their faces were flushed red.

"..."

The rest of the people shook their heads helplessly.

Wu Liang did not say anything to stop the two, but continued to observe the situation in front of him.

Everyone knows the nature of the two of them. Don't look at the two guys who quarrel non-stop as soon as they open their mouths. There is a posture that they will fight if they say something, but in fact they are just bickering and will never do anything out of line. move.

And once someone is in trouble, another person will definitely step forward to rescue him regardless of the cost, just like when Yang Wanli was trapped by "Yunyang", Yu Ji, who was always accustomed to retreating despite difficulties, entered the secret without hesitation. Dao... So, this kind of quarrel is actually with "love", let them go, as long as it doesn't delay the business.

Besides.

The sound of two people arguing can also effectively reduce everyone's sense of fear, just as it is a truth that singing loudly when you are afraid can strengthen your courage.

Wu Liang was not worried about covering up other important voices.

Bai Jingjing's hearing is different from that of ordinary people. Even in the quarrel between the two, she will never miss any details, so she can give an early warning.

Observed like this for a while.

The smoke and dust in the octagonal enclosed space dissipated a lot, and Wu Liang's breathing finally became much smoother.

What Wu Liang is most worried about now is the problem of breathing. Through the light of "Suihou Pearl", he has already seen the current situation clearly.

In addition to the eight thick walls that tightly block all directions, the dome of the tomb above the head is still intact. If this closed space is closed enough, the air they can breathe is limited, which is undoubtedly a problem. Very dangerous signal.

Even if there are some tiny gaps between these walls, it won't last too long.

As they breathe, if the air flow in those gaps is limited, the carbon dioxide content in the closed space will also increase, and the indoor temperature will rise accordingly, which can suffocate people alive after a long time...

The only good thing is.

The Suihou Beads do not need to be burned to be able to glow, which would have been aggravated if they had used torches.

"Brother Dianwei, come and fight for me."

There was no movement until now, and Wu Liang felt that the possibility of this mechanism having a second move should be very small, so he finally tried to get closer to these walls that fell from the sky for a closer look.

"promise!"

Dian Wei responded, and followed Wu Liang with an engineering shovel in his hand.

While hearing Wu Liang's words, Yang Wanli and Yu Ji also stopped their quarrel instantly, glared at each other and looked over, not daring to disturb Wu Liang.

Yang Wanli ran over in a hurry, holding an engineer shovel to guard Wu Liang's other side.

So come to the junction of the two walls.

Wu Liang took a closer look and found that the intersections between these walls were indeed not that close, leaving at least a gap of about 2-3 mm.

This is also good news.

It shows that this enclosed space is not completely disconnected from the outside world, at least there is still some room for air flow, so it shouldn't be a problem for them to last for several hours.

But at the same time, Wu Liang also discovered a very bad situation.

These walls don't seem to be made of ordinary bricks and stones, but are made of very thick bronze?
Through some fresh scratches caused by friction on the edge of the wall when it fell down, Wu Liang clearly saw a few touches of brighter golden yellow...

Well known.

The so-called "bronze" is only the color that appears after the surface is oxidized. The bronze that has just been smelted is generally pure golden yellow, and some may be silvery white or light yellow due to the different proportions of tin and copper.

Combined with the mottled turquoise rust on the surface of these walls, it is not difficult to judge its material.

and so.

Those walls are thick solid bronze walls? !
Wu Liang felt a little chilled.

If these walls were made of bricks and stones, they might use engineer shovels to forcibly dig out a passage on the walls in a few hours, so that they could escape from this closed space.

But if such a thick wall of solid bronze...

"Da da da!"

Wu Liang tapped the wall a few times with the copper dagger in different positions, and the sound that came back was slightly dull, and it sounded solid.

"Don't knock it, it's solid."

Seeing Wu Liang looking back at her, Bai Jingjing instantly understood and nodded to confirm Wu Liang's judgment.

"..."

Wu Liang's heart went cold again in an instant.

With the current equipment and technical level of the Huan army, there is no way to break through such a pure metal wall, let alone break through from the inside, even if all the soldiers of the Huan army enter the mausoleum, there is definitely no way to break through from the outside .

There are only two ways Wu Liang can think of to prevent them from escaping from here:

One is melting.

Fire can be fired from the inside or the outside, and these walls can be melted after reaching a certain temperature, so that they can escape from the inside.

But this approach is obviously unrealistic.

Not to mention that there is a "big bomb" outside that will explode when encountering a little spark. Even if there is no such thing, it would take extremely high temperatures to melt these walls. Such temperatures are simply not something they can bear in a confined space. I'm afraid these walls have just burned red, and they have already been tested as jerky.

Not to mention, ignition still needs to consume a lot of combustibles and air, and these conditions are impossible to meet now.

The other is to dig.

Just like before, the soldiers were ordered to "lift the roof" of the mausoleum. As long as the entire mausoleum was dug up, these pure metal walls would naturally no longer be able to trap them.

But this approach is obviously not realistic.

First of all, the Huren Army had no way of determining their exact location. It would take until the Year of the Monkey to dig here.

Wu Liang reckoned that if they could last more than a dozen hours, it was already the limit of the limit.

At that time, even if this closed space has some small gaps through which air can flow, the concentration and temperature of carbon dioxide in it will have reached a level where a human being cannot survive.

Secondly, now his orders can't be passed on at all, and without Zhuge Liang leading the way, it is impossible for those soldiers of the Huren Army to come here through the Eight Formation Map.

But other than that.

Wu Liang soon thought of another digging method - digging down!

Dig out a passage that can walk together from under these pure metal walls, so that they can also drill out of this closed space...

Just do it!

"Dian Wei, Yang Wanli!"

Wu Liang felt that this was the only way to escape, and immediately turned around and said, "You two start digging down from here, just dig a passage that we can drill through. If it is feasible, we may be able to dig through these walls." Pass below."

As he spoke, Wu Liang had already drawn a circle with a diameter of one meter on the dusty ground with his feet.

"promise!"

The two of them understood Wu Liang's intentions in an instant, and quickly waved their engineering shovels to start working.

Just the blink of an eye.

They have already lifted up the stone bricks laid on the ground, exposing the slightly moist hard soil layer below.

As long as it is soil, even if it is slightly hard, a passage can still be dug by manpower.

"Good job, keep digging, I'll see what's under the inner lining of the coffin."

Wu Liang finally calmed down a bit, and immediately remembered the mystery of the mechanism at the bottom of the coffin, and turned around to continue investigating.

however.

"Chong!"

Just as Wu Liang turned around, he heard a more dull sound of metal clashing from behind.

?

Wu Liang hurriedly turned his head.

I saw that the engineer shovel in Dian Wei's hand had already shoveled into the hard soil layer.

"Listening to the sound, it seems that there is also a layer of bronze underneath, which will not be thinner than these bronze walls..."

Bai Jingjing said numbly, her voice was slightly hoarse.

Wu Liang didn't need to say much, she also knew what this meant, and not only her, but also everyone else, a look of despair appeared on everyone's faces.

"First... dig it out and see, there is no unparalleled road."

Wu Liang didn't want to admit that this was true, let alone accept his fate like this, so he could only bite the bullet and say it.

Dian Wei's execution ability has never been mentioned, and he continued to dig without saying a word.

Although Yang Wanli hesitated, he quickly followed.

So it's just a cup of tea.

The two dug a small pit about [-] centimeters deep. The hard soil in the small pit had been cleaned out and piled aside. What was exposed underneath was a very eye-catching turquoise layer, with some There are some extremely shallow golden yellow scratches chiseled out by many engineers...

Looking at the engineer shovel in Dian Wei's hand, the tip of the shovel has curled up.

The engineer shovel in Yang Wanli's hand was a little better. This guy didn't exert all his strength when digging the hole. Of course, he wasn't as strong as Dianwei either.

"..."

At this moment, everyone fell into silence.

The walls are all bronze, and the ground is also bronze. They have obviously fallen into an indestructible trap at this moment...

Wu Liang took a deep breath and looked up unconsciously.

The four directions and the bottom cannot walk together, so only the top is left. If Dian Wei puts a coffin under his feet, he should still be able to reach the dome...

But that doesn't seem to be the way either.

Aside from the bronze mirror hanging above the head, there is an arched dome structure above the dome, and the material looks like some bricks on the surface.

But these bricks are not small.

Moreover, the arched domes in ancient China used the "brick pressing" construction method on one side. This is a very superb construction technology. Constructed of steel like posterity.

Such a vaulted dome must be complete, even if one of the bricks is missing, the mechanical structure supporting each other will be destroyed.

then.

The entire dome would collapse in an instant, burying Wu Liang and others alive in it!

Is there any other way?

Wu Liang's mind turned sharply. After thinking hard for a long time, he still couldn't think of a proper way to escape. They seemed to be really trapped in it.

"My lord, what should I do now?"

Seeing that Wu Liang didn't say a word, Yu Ji couldn't help it, swallowed his saliva, leaned forward and asked eagerly.

"Let's see what's under the coffin first..."

Wu Liang shook his head vigorously, with an extremely ugly smile on his face.

Under the inner lining of the coffin is the mystery that triggers this mechanism. What if the owner of the tomb still leaves other ways out for them?

　Thanks to the boss of [Zhanfeng Taoist] for his support.
