Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 314

Several people watched the mechanism in front of them constantly changing. At the position where Xiao Ran was kneeling before, the axes and axes on the left and right sides slowly retracted into the wall after three times of horizontal shoveling, and the steel needles above the face slowly retracted.

"Old Hu, don't you kneel down three times and knock down nine times? How come you kneel down three times..."

The fat man didn't finish his sentence. At the position more than two meters away from the previous steel needles, dense steel needles protruded from the top again, and the hanging height was exactly the same as the previous steel needles.

Immediately afterwards, two large axes were shoveled out from the walls on both sides below the steel needles again. After going back and forth three times, the steel needles retracted with the axes on both sides.

After that, at the same distance, the same mechanism repeated the previous steps.When the mechanism combination of the third steel needle and the big axe was retracted, the passage ahead was completely quiet.

"When you see the King of Hades, it's like meeting the Son of Heaven. Kneel three times and kowtow nine times. Every step you take, you have to kneel and knock three times. This mechanism is really interesting. It seems that if you don't go up enough, it won't start. "Hu Bayi explained.

After the fat man heard it, he was so angry that he was itchy at the root: "This fucking place doesn't even have a clear weapon. Isn't it just for the fat man to open the coffin to kill the old feudal? Kneel down and kowtow, and you won't be able to get a fart!"

Xiao Ran understood the principle of this mechanism, and said with a smile: "Fat Brother, none of us need to kowtow, I also know this Tianling Loose Cultivator, he definitely left a switch for himself at the other end of the passage. I'll go there first , shut down all the organs, and you can walk over with your head upright."

Hearing what Xiao Ran said, the fat man felt a lot more comfortable, and said to Xiao Ran: "Brother Xiao, I'm just trying to vent my anger. If it wasn't that my body is not as flexible as yours, I would definitely go there first. I can't let you You stand up for danger again and again..."

Xiao Ran waved his hand and said, "Brother Fat, if you talk about it, you will be out of the way. You all get ready, I have my own way."

He took off all the backpacks and other tools that might be in the way and handed them over to the three of them, and then he was ready to step on the passageway of the front mechanism again.

After he understood how the agency was operating just now, he had already figured out a solution in his mind.As long as he was fast enough to step into the two-meter safe zone between the two organs, why would he need to kneel and knock nine times?But it's just three forward rolls.

He took a deep breath, leaned forward suddenly, and rolled forward with his head in his arms.

Hu Bayi immediately understood what Xiao Ran meant, pointed to Xiao Ran's tumbling figure and said, "Look at Xiao Ran, how smart he is..."

Xiao Ran's back fell to the ground, and there was another "呱啦" sound from above, and a fine square array of steel needles was suspended in mid-air from the top of the stone.

But before he could feel complacent, when his lower back fell to the ground, he felt the floor sinking suddenly again, and this time there was a sudden "click" sound from the approaching front.

He secretly thought something was wrong, so he quickly put his hands on the ground to support his body, so as not to move forward.After quickly stabilizing his body, he quickly exercised his strength to turn himself upside down.

Immediately afterwards, another phalanx formed by rows of steel needles pierced out from the ground in front of him, and the two-meter-long safe area he thought before was all occupied by the raised steel needles.

It turned out that within the range of kneeling and knocking this time, the switch was divided into two parts, just to prevent people like him from playing tricks.If he guessed right, even if his jumping ability is good enough to jump over the kneeling area from the beginning and jump directly into the two-meter-long area, there are still other ways to trigger the mechanism.

At this time, the sound of the big ax being shoveled by his ear had already been heard, Xiao Ran had no choice but to bend down three times in succession, completing the first round of prostration.

After knocking three times, the organs on the top of the head, sides and front all slowly returned to their positions.Only then did Xiao Ran get up quickly, rushing towards the area where he would prostrate next time.

Seeing that Hu Bayi was a little embarrassed, Xu Er who was beside him also pointed to Xiao Ran's moving back and said, "It's great to see Xiao Gang's skill..."

Xiao Ran didn't dare to rush forward this time, when he moved to the range of kneeling for the second time, the sound of the mechanism above his head starting had already been heard, and he simply knelt down on the ground first, as if he could gain some advantage by doing so.

As soon as he knelt down, he felt a little regretful and resentful, and felt a little humiliated by his hasty kneeling.A bit of rebellion suddenly appeared in his heart, didn't he want to kneel three times and kowtow nine times?This time he decided to just lie on the ground and not get up.

After the steel needle on the top fell, the axes and axes on both sides were also shoveled out again.Li Xiao Ran lay on the ground, feeling a little triumphant in his heart.But at this moment, he felt a breeze blowing on both sides of his head, accompanied by a slight sound.

He quickly straightened his waist and got up, and saw two steel needles stabbing out of the wall on both sides of his head when he was lying on his stomach before, but these two steel needles were thinner, so he didn't notice it before.

After the steel needle was pierced, it was retracted quickly, and at the same time the big axes on both sides were activated again, Xiao Ran had no choice but to bend down quickly.Therefore, the steel needles at the bottom and the big axe at the top alternated with each other, making Xiao Ran have to earnestly complete the ceremony of kneeling and knocking three times.

Seeing that the two people beside him were silent, the fat man said silently, "Look at Brother Xiao... how seriously you kowtow..."

At this moment, Xiao Ran had already begun to curse madly in his heart, no matter who the designer of this mechanism was, he had already figured out all the psychology of the visitor.The ritual of kneeling three times and knocking nine times is really unbeatable.

After the second round of kowtowing was over, he stepped into the next area and simply knelt upright in advance. When the sound of the big ax came, he began to kowtow three times for the last time.

"Three, two, one... go to your uncle!"

After the last three knocks, as if venting his emotions, he jumped up from the ground in a kneeling position, and landed on the ground in front of him with a flip with his hands around his knees.

Feeling some dust in his mouth, he spat hard, and began to look for the switch to turn off the mechanism on the walls on both sides.It was not until the stone door at the end that he saw a pull ring beside the door, and the chain of the pull ring went deep into the wall.

He gently pulled the ring, and as the iron chain was pulled out from the wall, a series of sounds began to be heard throughout the passage, all the way from the beginning of the passage to the position where he kowtowed for the last time.

The fat man stretched his feet forward cautiously, stepped on the ground where the mechanism was activated, knelt down and crawled forward a few steps, and found that the mechanism of kneeling three times and knocking nine times was turned off, so he hurriedly greeted Hu Bayi and Xu Er : "The agency stopped, walk and walk!"

The three of them picked up the things and walked forward unhurriedly. Xiao Ran felt that there was still a part of the iron chain that hadn't been pulled out, so he slowly pulled it down.

Suddenly, there was a sound of stones rubbing against him, and as the stone door at the end slowly opened, the cold moonlight shone on his feet.And between him, Hu Bayi and the others, a stone gate also descended.

Xiao Ran was startled, and quickly let go of his hand, but the iron chain did not move, and the stone gates on both sides were still rising and lowering at the same time.Seeing this, Hu Bayi and the others had no choice but to run towards Xiao Ran with all their might.
