Indiana Jones

Chapter 250: Underground Sunrise (02)

Zhao Chenggong's words startled everyone, but they didn't panic. With so many people and so many guns, they were afraid that a piece of wood would fail?After an investigation, it seemed that something was wrong. Zhao Chenggong was scolded bloody by the woodcutter after he said what he had done just now with a guilty conscience, saying that his behavior was no different from robbing a tomb. Face, touching anything in this kind of place will harm others and yourself. If you don’t want to live, it’s fine. You can’t make fun of other people’s lives. Zhao Chenggong lowered his head and didn’t dare to refute. After scolding, the woodcutter followed Lin Feng to this Search around.

Seeing that there was no danger, other people came over to see if they could be of any help. After walking in, they found that the wooden man's hand was broken, and a few copper wires could be seen inside the break. It seemed that there was some clever mechanism hidden. .

"There is a flap here." After confirming the safety, Lin Feng squatted under the wooden man's feet to check, and found the problem, "It seems that we touched some mechanism when we passed by just now, making this guy fall out of the ground. "

"This is not the one you saw before." Guo Zhongxiao checked the wooden man and said to Zhao Chenggong, "This one is standing, and the one you saw before is sitting, but the material is the same, these wooden carved things They all look pretty much the same."

It may be that Zhao Chenggong was guilty of being a thief, so he put this wooden man together with the wooden man who stole things by himself in the first place.

"Grandma, scare me." Seeing that it was a false alarm, Zhao Chenggong couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

"What's the use of turning this place into a flap?" Si Xuanyi felt that something was wrong. Logically speaking, everything in this kind of place should have its purpose, and it's definitely not just repairing such a thing to scare people. human.

"There should be a lot of flaps in this kind of place, but a lot of trees here have been thriving and have been blocked by tree roots, so they can't be activated at all." Lin Feng pried open a piece of ground not far away, and sure enough there was a statue under it. , It seems that there is something in the hand, and after a closer look, they find that it is a bow and crossbow.

"This is here." Stan picked up a crossbow from the grass, and there was half a severed hand on it, which coincided with the broken hand of the wooden man who scared them just now, and it seemed to be dug out from the ground. At that time, it knocked down the branch lying on it and broke it.

"No." The woodcutter took a closer look at the crossbow in his hand. There were more than a dozen arrows in the receiver. The shafts of the arrows were soaked in tung oil after being burned. Although they were old, they were still as tough as ever. They are all made of copper, and a layer of green rust has grown, but the rust is not severe. He tried a few times, and it can still fire. Although the lens is rusted, it can still pierce into the big tree next to it. He seems to have thought of something. , Immediately followed Lin Feng to rummage around, and soon found several mechanisms nearby that could not be activated, and the wooden people inside were all stuck underneath by tree roots.

"These are a bow and crossbow array." The woodcutter took a breath, "It's too insidious!"

"Old man! Don't say anything else, what do you mean?" Guo Zhongxiao looked confused, and he couldn't understand what was going on with this kind of mechanism.

"If all these wooden figures rise up..." the woodcutter said, pointing to a few nearby points, "after we pass by, these things rise up and line up behind us, no wonder we're not hedgehogs."

Only then did everyone understand what it meant. The other puppets were all underground, and this puppet with a broken hand alone couldn't tell what was going on. After listening to his explanation, they couldn't help breaking out in a layer of cold sweat. If it wasn't These overgrown trees, I'm afraid they have really been shot into hedgehogs.

"These guys are too insidious. The mechanism is built under the road." Guo Zhongxiao knocked on the wooden man.

"It's impossible to defend against." Si Xuanyi looked around, and the chill in his heart was even stronger. This seemingly quiet underground ghost city was full of dangers. What will happen next time?"

"Maybe all the mechanisms here are broken." Stan looked at the male crossbow in his hand, "After all, it's hundreds of years old, I can't be so strong."

"It's better to be careful, let's go!" Si Xuanyi greeted everyone.

"It's up to you to find the way." The woodcutter said to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng walked to the front of the line silently.

Everyone continued to move forward anxiously, no one knew what would happen next.

This bluestone road is not long. In front of it is a building that is connected to the entire construction area. Those footprints have all gone inside. Lin Feng was the first to go in to check the situation. After confirming that it was safe, he asked them to proceed. After entering, they found out The inside is not big, and there are copper lamp slaves in the dead corners. The strange thing is that the lamp slaves are actually four burly monkeys, holding a big brazier with their hands and heads, which is full of green copper smell. The ten-thousand-year ever-burning lamp in the ancient tomb is similar.

These lights are all on, and the blue flames emit a faint blue light. At first they thought it was really an everlasting lamp, but soon they found a smell of kerosene in the air. Check it out Sure enough, what was added inside was kerosene, which should be fueled by the previous group of people and ignited for lighting.

There was a coffin in the middle of the room. The lid of the coffin had been opened and thrown on the ground aside, but it was strange that the coffin was empty.

"We came late, those guys have already taken everything away." Stan said that the light here is bright, and there is nothing in the coffin, so he is not so scared.

"You idiot! Did they even take away the corpses?" Guo Zhongxiao glanced inside, "It's empty in the first place, it's okay if you have no brains, and your eyes are also blind? You can tell by looking at the dust that there is no place here at all." Put things."

"Old man, why is there an empty coffin here?" Si Xuanyi asked the woodcutter habitually. In his mindset, the woodcutter and Lin Feng seemed to know this kind of place very well, so they should come to him for any questions.

"This should be equivalent to the ear chamber in the tomb, but it seems a bit off. After all, the entire imperial city is very large. Such a small ear chamber is not in proportion. It should be used to store some funeral objects, but It's very strange that there is nothing here except a coffin and four lamp slaves, which is unreasonable."

"There is only one door here, and we haven't seen any other traces. Where did those guys go? They can't evaporate out of thin air, right?" Zhao Chenggong asked looking at the empty room.

"In addition to asking questions, can't you look for it yourself?" The woodcutter was a little annoyed, "Could it be possible to rely on me, an old guy, for everything?"

"I, we don't, don't we understand!" Zhao Chenggong was a little embarrassed when he was said.

"Everyone is looking around to see if there is a hidden door or exit here." Si Xuanyi also felt a little embarrassed. After arriving here, they couldn't help with anything, and they all depended on the woodcutter and Lin Feng...
