There really was a trap!
Miss Hong, who was hanging on the hook, looked at the sudden scene below. Her beautiful eyes widened in shock.
If not for Feng Bai's reminder and her taking that step, the two of them would probably have lost their footing and fallen.
Moreover, the trap in the well had been polished on purpose. It was as smooth as a mirror, and there was no place to stand at all.
No matter how good one's lightness skills were, there was only death.
Thinking of this, Miss Hong couldn't help but feel some lingering fear in her heart. She secretly glanced at Feng Bai. His face was still calm, as if nothing could disturb his mind.
Pulling the hook, the two of them glided over the wooden puppet and landed at the door.
"What's going on?"
Chen Yulou, who had been waiting outside.
Hearing the huge commotion coming from inside, he was worried that the two of them were in danger, so he quickly came in from the outside. Who knew that as soon as he stepped through the door, he would see Feng Bai and Miss Hong behind the door.
"Chain mechanism."
"The person who designed this ancient tomb is definitely not ordinary. I'm afraid that every step from the moment we came down was within that person's calculations.”
Feng Bai pointed at the huge pit not far away, and his expression gradually turned cold.
Previously, because of his continuous escape, his mind was so tense that he could not think about these things.
But now.
Feng Bai immediately understood.
With each step, he entered the tunnel and saw the coffin in the ancient city.
The owner of the tomb had a good grasp of the bandits 'thoughts. He was sure that they would definitely enter the ancient city to steal the coffins, and those coffins had long been set up with silver lines.
Once the coffin lid was opened, the entire crossbow mechanism would be activated.
Under the rain of countless arrows, at least half of the tomb robbers were killed.
However, that person did not stop there. He had even predicted that someone would enter the watchtower to dismantle the machine, dig out the mercury well, and lay out iron spears.
One ring after another.
It was to eliminate all possibilities and kill all intruders who dared to step into this place.
Thinking of this, Feng Bai's expression turned ugly.
It had to be said that the person who designed the ancient tomb was powerful, vicious, and cruel. They were all unique existences.
"Little brother, what do you mean?"
Chen Yulou frowned. He was already very smart.
Especially after calming down, he actually saw a lot of things.
"Boss Chen, I'm afraid the road ahead will be even more difficult.”
Feng Bai shook his head.
When he said this, no one noticed that he glanced above his head.
"The mercury well overturned…"
Miss Hong suddenly exclaimed and pulled the two people who were talking back.
He turned around to take a look.
Because of the trap below, the mercury well also tilted down. Bright mercury flowed out continuously from it, and a pungent smell instantly filled the air.
Weng!
Immediately after.
A sharp sound rang out, and time seemed to have stopped in the arrow tower. The wooden puppets that were still moving forward instantly stopped and stood rooted to the ground with a wooden expression.
The bows and crossbows in the holes around the watchtower also stopped firing.
As for the source of the sound, it came from the divine arm crossbow.
Now that the mercurial expansion was destroyed, the noose that provided tension slowly stopped.
For a moment.
The entire ancient city was silent except for the raging sea of fire and the screams of those who survived.
"It stopped…"
"It really stopped."
"There are no more arrows.”
It wasn't just Feng Bai and the others. On the distant city wall, the few people who had just survived the desperate situation couldn't care less about the pain caused by the arrow wounds on their bodies as they cheered crazily.
Infected by the optimistic attitude of those workers, the corners of Feng Bai's mouth curled up into a smile.
He opened his hand and greedily inhaled the air.
Even if it didn't smell good.
There was the bitter charred smell of burning kerosene, the pungent smell of evaporated mercury, and the smell of blood that filled the air.
But so what?
It was good that he was alive.
"Shopkeeper, what should we do next?”
Miss Hong looked away from Feng Bai's smiling face and turned to Chen Yulou.
Their trip to the tomb could be said to have suffered heavy casualties. Other than Kun Lun, at least twenty people had died in the arrow formation and sea of fire.
If Chen Yulou hadn't left half of his men outside the city as backup before entering the city, perhaps even more people would have died by now.
"We can't go any further."
"Let's go back to the camp first. The injured brothers need to be treated, and I need to think carefully about how to break out of this situation.”
Chen Yulou shook his head sadly.
In addition to the bloodstains on his face, his green clothes were also torn in many places. Even his hair had been burned off by the flames. He did not look like the chief of the Xie Ling at all.
The three of them left the arrow tower and followed the protective rope back to the city wall.
There were people sitting on the ground.
All of them were lifeless and empty, as if they had lost their souls.
Old Crooked Luo was still lying on a stretcher made of rattan. He was still unconscious. Fortunately, his subordinates knew to wrap his eyes with cloth and finally stopped the bleeding.
Chen Yulou glanced at them.
More than thirty people went in, and only eleven of them came out alive. Moreover, almost every one of them was injured.
Sighing, Chen Yulou was about to comfort the crowd when a loud explosion came from below, as if something had exploded.
The air wave was like a hurricane, blowing everything at the city gate into the air. Even the fire rose high in an instant.
The few people standing on the city wall felt the ground beneath their feet shake.
The group of people were still in shock. Then, they heard a shout coming from downstairs.
"Shopkeeper, it was the people from the engineer battalion under Commander Luo who blew up the gate.”
