Just as I was about to raise my foot in fear, I realized that the stone slab was actually rising up with my foot. Fortunately, my reaction was fast enough. When I felt that something was wrong, I couldn't help but step down.
For some reason, I have a feeling in my heart: He definitely couldn't lift his feet, or it would be very dangerous.
Team Leader Chen rushed over and squatted down to check carefully. He quickly told me not to move. Then, he took out a dagger and stabbed it into the stone slab. He accurately stuck it between the cracks and then told me to slowly lift my foot out.
I did as I was told and tried it out first. After realizing that I couldn't feel anything under my feet, I quickly lifted it out.
"Retreat, retreat further."
We followed Team Leader Chen's instructions and retreated more than ten meters. Then, Team Leader Chen found a military rope from the back of a camel and quickly tied it up. He also asked Mozzie to shine the flashlight on the dagger.
A few seconds later, the military rope in Team Leader Chen's hand was very accurately put on the dagger handle. Then, he pulled back hard and raised his left hand to catch the dagger that flew back.
ka ka ka
Almost at the same time, the sound of machinery turning echoed in the passage. Everyone held up their flashlights and shone them on the ground. They saw that the place just now, whether it was the ground or the wall, was filled with spears.
"Isn't his speed too fast? How did he appear? Not even a sound."
Bean-sized beads of sweat appeared on my forehead. If I was stabbed, my entire body would definitely be riddled with holes.
After a long while, we all stayed where we were and didn't dare to move forward. No one spoke, as if everything had stopped.
It wasn't until Team Leader Chen took a step forward that the three of us followed him carefully to the spear.
I looked at these spears. They were black and shiny. They didn't look like metal or wood. I couldn't help but reach out and touch them.
"Oh my god!"
Just as my hand touched a spear, I felt a chill on my finger. The spear in front of me disappeared without a sound.
"It's gone? Mozzie, can you explain?”
Mozzie carefully checked the stone slab under her feet and the surrounding walls. There were no traces of holes on it. It was as if everything that had happened just now was an illusion. Then, I had indeed touched it. How could this be explained?
Mosquito said," It's not that it's gone. It's just that it's really too fast. This mechanism is very cleverly designed. Usually, the mechanism will be activated immediately after being touched. However, this mechanism leaves some leeway for the person. I guess there's only one explanation. The designer was worried that his own people would fall for it, so he didn't go too far. As for how the spear was hidden, I really can't figure it out. I wonder if Team Leader Chen knows?”
As she spoke, Mosquito looked at Team Leader Chen. Yang Liu and I also asked with our eyes.
Team Leader Chen shook his head and replied that he didn't know either. This mechanism had already violated the common sense of today, but it didn't mean that the previous designers didn't have such wisdom.
After listening to Team Leader Chen, I don't really care if the people in the past had such wisdom. What I care about is why there is such a mechanism here, but Team Leader Chen, who has been here before, didn't say anything.
So I said unhappily," Team Leader Chen, I said last time that I wouldn't ask about some principled secrets. But, but, it was so dangerous just now. You were here before. You should, we don't have to take the risk."
Yang Liu widened her eyes and moved her lips a few times at me. Through her lips, I realized that she was saying, She was really awesome. She dared to talk to her leader like that. If she wasn't nervous, she would have been even more elegant.
I couldn't care less. This was a life-threatening matter. If I didn't force Team Leader Chen to say it, he might really become a "good comrade" in the next second.
Team Leader Chen calmed me down and said gently,"I understand your emotions. No one wants to take a path that they don't know how to take. I still don't know how to explain it to you because I've never entered this passageway before.”
The three of us couldn't stand it anymore. I said,"You didn't come in? Didn't you say that no one can get there from the ground? Since you haven't entered this passage before, how did you get there?”
"Five years ago, we did go through a passage, but it wasn't this one."”
"Not this one?"
I'm really confused. Since it's not this one, why didn't Team Leader Chen take us to the one he went to?
At this moment, Mozzie, who had been silent all this while, spoke. He said,"Team Leader Chen, if I'm not wrong, when you opened the passage five years ago, another entrance appeared, not the one we're taking now.”
Team Leader Chen nodded his head and said,""Yes, I remember that the entrance appeared on the other side. Moreover, there were no stone slabs on the ground of that passage. It was all yellow sand.”
Aiyo, there was such a thing? This was really strange. No wonder Team Leader Chen had a strange expression when the entrance appeared. Since that was the case, he should have informed them in advance. Sigh, I really don't know what he was thinking.
I didn't know what to say for a moment. The camels beside me neighed a few times inappropriately, just in time to vent my anger on them.
"Dead rats, why are you patting them?"
Yang Liu quickly protected the camel and scolded me for being crazy. She warned me that if I touched the camel again, she would beat me up.
I don't want to go crazy either. To be honest, I've been a Mystic Police officer for so many years, and none of the unknown events I've encountered have ever made me collapse. Now, I really can't take it anymore. Maybe I really need to settle down and temper myself. I can only comfort myself like this.
"Wait…" Mozzie stared at the camel and said,"Normally, camels don't bark unless…"
Before Mosquito could finish, Yang Liu interrupted him and said," Don't doubt it. Trouble is coming, Team Leader Chen. The road behind is gone."
"The road is gone?"
Mozzie took a few steps forward with the flashlight. The light of the flashlight could only illuminate an area of 20 meters. If it was further away, it would be impossible to see anything.
The military flashlights we brought with us have a visual range of more than 100 meters. This passage is a straight line, so it's impossible to only see this short distance, unless the road behind really disappears.
I believe that a mechanism similar to the Dragon-Breaking Stone has appeared, cutting off the path of retreat for those who enter this place.
However, before I could say my guess, Team Leader Chen had already taken out his signal gun and fired a flare behind me.
With a whoosh, a flash of light accompanied by the smell of smoke rushed straight to the road they came from. The entire passage was instantly as bright as day.
However, two seconds later, the flare suddenly disappeared. At that moment, I realized that there was a black vortex not far behind me. It was that vortex that swallowed the flare.
They naturally saw it, especially Yang Liu, who had extraordinary vision. She told us loudly,"It's not that the path has disappeared. It's, it's black gas. It's black like a vortex.”
As we spoke, the black gas instantly pounced on us and drowned us along with everything in the passage.
