After the investigation team left the stone room, the three of them no longer had any burdens or concerns.
But even so, it took him a long time to finally get over it.
These mechanisms were built very cleverly and were hidden deep in the stone walls, making them impossible to destroy.
The mechanism would only lose its effect after all the stored poison needles were shot out.
The three of them could only constantly resist the unpredictable poisonous needles and the poisonous snakes that gathered from all directions.
In this stone room, the three of them became each other's backs, each in charge of a direction.
Wu Sangou, who was slightly weaker in combat, was not to be underestimated with his chainmail and Luoyang shovel.
After an unknown period of time, the last poisonous needle shot out, and all the mechanisms finally failed.
Zhang Qilin held the hilt of his saber and looked around.
"There might be a way out over there…"
The direction Zhang Qilin was pointing at was the direction where he had found the human figure and the animal footprints.
Although the three of them did not know what the animal was, nor were they sure if there was really medicine in the world, since the animal had disappeared, it must be because there was some undetectable passage hidden there.
At this moment, the three of them could not care less about resting. They immediately walked in that direction.
From the beginning, when they were defending against the traps and poisonous snakes, Hu Bayi and the other two had noticed the thin oxygen.
Now, they had to hurry up and leave this place. Otherwise, they really wouldn't be able to get out.
Hu Bayi came to the footprints again and asked in confusion,"
"Can you tell what animal it is from these footprints?”
The experienced and knowledgeable Wu Sangou answered without any hesitation,"
"The diamond-shaped footprints are usually carnivorous canines.
But I can't say exactly what it is…"
As the two of them were talking, Zhang Qilin silently used his slender fingers to feel for something on the wall.
"Crack!"
Without any warning, Zhang Qilin's two fingers stabbed into the stone wall again, causing the two to be stunned.
Wu Sangou gulped deeply.
"Are these fingers made of iron?"
Hu Bayi looked at Zhang Qilin and teased,"
"I take back what I said earlier. Not many people can stand this finger…"
As Zhang Qilin slowly retracted his hand, a new mechanism was activated on the ground behind the three of them, revealing a path leading underground.
"Hmm?"
Hu Bayi looked at the new entrance in confusion and frowned."
"From the murals, the Immortal Welcoming Platform should be built on a high place. How does this place connect to the underground?”
"Is this not the path to the Immortal Welcoming Platform?”
Hu Bayi and Wu Sangou were puzzled by the tunnel that led underground.
Previously, they could clearly see from the murals that the Welcome Platform was built at the highest point of the entire facility.
Therefore, he instinctively felt that the passage opened by the mechanism should be parallel or extended to the outside.
Moreover, the stone door that was shining with light earlier did not open because Zhang Qilin found the mechanism.
Instead, an entrance appeared that was beyond everyone's expectations…
Unwilling to give up, Wu Sangou walked to the stone door that was shining brightly. After checking it up and down, he walked back in a dispirited manner,
"We have no choice but to take this path. That stone door is sealed, and it doesn't seem to be opened by a mechanism.
I suspect that this should be the entrance used by the craftsmen at that time.
Later on, due to the completion of the project, the craftsmen were all killed, and the stone door was completely sealed and no longer opened.”
Wu Sangou's speculation was very realistic. Hearing this, Hu Bayi could only nod his head,"
"There's no other way. If we stay here any longer, the oxygen will only get thinner and thinner.
I might as well take this opportunity to see if I can walk out of this path…"
Immediately, Hu Bayi took the lead and walked down the stone steps that led to the underground.
Wu Sangou followed closely behind, while Zhang Qilin brought up the rear.
The three of them followed this unexpected passage and headed to an unknown place.
However, they did not know that when they triggered the mechanism, it was not just the tunnel leading to the underground.
……
"Crack!"
The sound of a mechanism rang out, sounding particularly ear-piercing in the silent stone room.
The members of the investigation team had already entered a semi-conscious state because of the thin oxygen.
Following the sound of the mechanism, the tightly shut stone door slowly opened.
The influx of new oxygen made everyone subconsciously take in large breaths, and they gradually regained some of their consciousness.
Chen Wenjin supported herself against the wall and struggled to stand up. She could not believe her eyes.
The stone door…why did it open by itself…
Zhuge Qing, who couldn't find the exit after searching for a while, finally opened her eyes after being called for a long time due to her exhaustion and the lack of oxygen.
Greedily breathing in the new oxygen, Zhuge Qing finally had hope in her eyes.
"You found the mechanism?"
Chen Wenjin shook her head in response to Zhuge Qing's question.
"The stone door opened on its own…"
When Zhuge Qing heard this, she subconsciously turned around and looked at the stone door at the entrance of the second stone room. It was still tightly shut. She frowned slightly and said,
"Perhaps they triggered the mechanism…"
Chen Wenjin turned around worriedly. She still did not know how the three of them were doing. She was not even sure if they were still alive.
However, Chen Wenjin had no choice but to take responsibility for the people in front of her. If she stayed here any longer, once the stone door closed, everyone here would be buried with her.
Chen Wenjin suppressed the sadness in her heart.
"Let's go out first and report the situation here. Maybe we can still make it…"
Chen Wenjin did not believe her own words.
Was there enough time?
Perhaps when they entered this place again, they would only see a few corpses…
