Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 189

The sharp steel thorns almost wiped the fine hair on Li Ran's face, making Xiao Ran feel a chill.During this journey, he did not know how many times he had avoided the oncoming dangers again and again with this kind of good luck.

I don't know how many times this kind of luck can be used.

It seems that he guessed right, the owner of this living room will not be so cheap. Strange visitors, honestly follow the order Xia Niang pointed out to pull the protrusions on the edge of the table, and if they are not careful, they will get their heads pierced. fate.

As for what the correct order is, it seems that only the master himself knows.

With cold sweat dripping from his forehead, he came back to his senses and found that the steel thorns were connected to a wooden box that could be opened from the side.

Xiao Ran thought, this box doesn't have any mechanism, does it?

But the box didn't wait for him to hesitate, and slowly shrank back into the wall.Xiao Ran didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly opened the box, and a copper key fell out from the side of the wooden box.

He picked up the key and held it in his hand, stood up and stepped back outside the living room, only to see that the steel thorn attached to the wooden box retracted into the wall, and the brick that was hanging outside was also pulled by the iron chain at the back end. When I went back, the entire wall was restored to its original state, and there were hardly any traces of organs.

Xiao Ran couldn't help admiring secretly, starting from Xia Niang Temple, the design of these mechanisms was extremely exquisite, worthy of being designed by Yuan Dynasty, the most important craftsman.

The key was hidden so carefully that there should be no other search value in the living room.He took a closer look at the key, the shape was simple and simple, with a hint of rusty patina.

He inserted the key into the keyhole of the iron door of the living room, and the door lock could be opened easily.The iron doors in this hall are all the same shape, maybe this secret key hidden in the master bedroom can open the rest of the doors.

There was no exploration value at this platform, so they turned around and jumped to the next platform.The iron door at this place was closed tightly, Xiao Ran tried it with the copper key, although it was a bit jammed due to years of rust, he still opened the door smoothly.

Behind this door, it looks like a storage room. Rows of shelves are neatly arranged against the wall, and there are many rickety pill cabinets on the shelves, in various shapes.

Xiao Ran took the lead and entered the alchemy room by himself, while Liu Shengli and Xu Er stood against the door firmly outside, trying not to touch any mechanism, trapping Xiao Ran inside.

This storage room has been built into a sunken structure. To enter the door, you have to go down a set of steps nearly two meters above the ground. The entire storage room looks like a big "concave" when viewed from above.

Xiao Ran cautiously tested every step. The designer of the underground palace was like a crazy technician who was obsessed with mechanisms. Who knew what surprises he would prepare for the guests who entered the storage room.

After stepping down the steps, Xiao Ran did not encounter any unexpected situation, so he took a flashlight to take a careful look around the surroundings.The storage room was dilapidated and messy. Not only were pill cabinets of various shapes tilted on the shelves, but the ground in front of the shelves was also cracked a lot.

Pills, big and small, were scattered around like big rat droppings.

No, it doesn't seem to be all like rat droppings. Xiao Ran's flashlight flashed across some corners, and many mice with red eyes the size of rabbits fled around, making squeaky noises.

It seems that the door of this storage room is locked tightly, which can prevent people but not the aborigines of the underground world.The mice had long regarded this place as a granary, and they probably ate a lot of pills refined from various inexplicable herbs.

"Old Xiao, congratulations. These rats have been multiplied and passed on for hundreds of generations. The effects of various elixirs in the body have penetrated into the bone marrow, and they have been integrated. Eating one can prolong life by seven days. Do you want to try it?"

Hearing the smirk in Yajiu Kuo's tone, Xiao Ran knew that he didn't hold his fart well, and asked, "Eating one will prolong your life by seven days? Doesn't rat feces prolong your life? Come on, hurry up and get back into my body, let's eat together, we will be blessed together." Enjoy!"

Yajiujiu said disgruntledly: "Aren't I going to discuss this with you? I'm not lying to you. Eating one can indeed prolong your life by about seven days, but there are also side effects. But what are you afraid of when I'm here? I'll wash the marrow for you, but Maybe you will be sick for ten and a half days..."

"You can shut up, if I eat this stuff, I will catch the plague again, how many years will my life be lost?"

While speaking, Xiao Ran had already carefully walked to a shelf.There are three floors of this shelf, and a lot of dust has accumulated.In the center of the middle layer, there is a gourd-shaped alchemy that looks unique. The seal is not sealed with cloth strips, oiled paper or wax, but is integrated with the whole gourd. It is an obvious decoration at first glance.

Judging from the urine nature of this "Tianling Sanren" before, this gourd must also be a trigger position.

He carefully held the gourd and lifted it up slowly. Sure enough, there was a steel wire connected to the frame under the gourd. Judging from the sound, the end of the steel wire should be in the wall behind the wooden frame.

Xiao Ran looked at Liu Shengli and Xu Er outside the door, they were opening the door, and the copper key was also in their hands at this moment, so there should be no need to worry about the door being locked.

He bravely pulled the gourd pill box, and there was a sound of mechanism behind the wall, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling from the sky behind him.

He quickly turned his head to look, the iron gate was still open, but inside the iron gate, a gate with criss-crossing iron bars fell, separating Liu Shengli and Xu Er from the gate.

"Manager! What's going on... Manager!"

Xu Er was still holding the door, while Liu Shengli was nervously shining a torch on the side of the gate, trying to find the switch to open the gate.

Xiao Ran took photos of the storage room, and found that apart from the suddenly lowered gate, there was no deadly mechanism such as poisonous gas and steel needles, so he relaxed and waved his hands to the two to show that it was okay.

This is probably another anti-theft mechanism. Since it can be triggered from the inside, it can also be unlocked from the inside. As long as there is no life-threatening danger, there is no need to worry.

He walked to the next few shelves, and sure enough, after a few shelves, he found the gourd pill switch of the same model as before.

After carefully confirming that there are no holes sealed by clay on the surrounding walls and floors, and there are no gaps or openings that are abrupt to look at, he pulled the Dankui mechanism in front of him again.

This time, with the continuous rotation of the mechanism, the iron gate did not open, but there was a sound of stone rubbing under the steps.

Xiao Ran turned around to take a photo, and vaguely saw a hidden stone door under the steps.He stepped forward cautiously, and saw that behind the stone gate, there was another well-repaired passage leading to the unknown depths.

A gust of wind blew from behind the open passage of the stone door, Xiao Ran was sure that there should be no more stagnant and poisonous smoke behind this door, so he walked in boldly.

This passage resembles a tomb passage, and at the end where the flashlight can illuminate, a large stone object with square edges and four corners is placed in an empty room.

Xiao Ran was excited. Could it be that the inside is a tomb, and the stone object is a sarcophagus?
