Wu Qing and the others slowed down and slowly entered the stone hall.
They saw the footprints of the previous group of people and were worried that they would step on the traps if they followed these footprints, so they did not follow those footprints.
However, in such an environment, there was no way to know where there would be a trap.
Wu Qing walked in front and didn't step on the mechanism, but those people behind might have stepped on the mechanism.
Kacha!
A person at the back of the team stepped on a brick with his right foot.
Originally, the person in front of him had stepped on this brick before, so there was no problem. It would not have collapsed like this.
However, when Mo San's last subordinate went up, the brick collapsed.
The collapse of the brick meant that the mechanism had been activated.
"Be careful!" Wu Qing was the first to react when he heard the noise. He turned his head and looked over.
As the turning heads collapsed, the mechanism was triggered. The four rows of turning heads on the walls on both sides of the stone hall suddenly separated, revealing four rows of crossbows.
These crossbows were exquisitely made, with the shape of a dragon head at the front. Even after thousands of years of baptism, there were still no traces of rust.
Seeing these crossbows appear, Wu Qing and the others knew that something was wrong. They didn't dare to be negligent and didn't care about the others. They ran to the side to avoid the incoming arrows.
Swoosh ~~
Soon, the crossbow was activated. The arrows flew over at high speed and were very powerful. If one's reaction was slow, there was no way to dodge.
These arrows were very fast, but Wu Qing could easily dodge them and not be hit.
As for those who were not strong enough and did not react quickly enough, they would suffer.
"Ah…"
The person who had stepped on the mechanism earlier could not dodge. He was shot by the arrow and sank into his flesh. He could not break free at all.
Moreover, his body was still on the ground, but he was still shot by the arrows. In the blink of an eye, he was hit by five arrows.
He had suffered such an attack, and his body was almost penetrated. He was already on the verge of death, and there was no way to save him.
Mo San and the rest had no way to lend a helping hand, they could not save that person because after firing a round of arrows, the crossbow had actually reloaded and changed its direction, shooting towards the place where Wu Qing and the rest were hiding.
Seeing this, Wu Qing and the others were shocked. They didn't expect the ancient craftsmen to be so awesome. They could even guess the direction in which the people who entered this place would escape. Then, they designed such a crossbow that could turn the direction and shoot at the predicted position.
They did not have the time to marvel at the wisdom of the ancients. If they did not escape quickly, they would become a hornet's nest.
While fleeing for his life, another of Mo San's subordinates was shot to death. His body was pierced through and he fell to the ground as he cried out for help, asking Mo San and the others for help.
Under such circumstances, Mo San and the others couldn't even protect themselves, let alone save this subordinate.
In such a critical situation, human nature would be fully displayed.
After Wu Qing and the others fled three times and changed three places, the crossbows finally stopped. The four rows of bricks returned to their original state, covering the crossbows.
If it weren't for the countless arrows on the ground, it would be unbelievable that this place had just been shot by a round of crossbows.
After being shot by the crossbows, another two of the eleven people died in a pool of blood.
Wu Qing and the others looked at their two companions. They were both furious and helpless. There was nothing they could do.
"We just found the ancient tomb and three people have already died. This ancient tomb is really not easy to rob.”Duan De said with a sigh.
Although he usually looked sloppy and didn't look serious, he felt a little sad when he saw his comrades die.
"When we passed by there just now, we didn't trigger the mechanism at all, but when Liu Zi walked over, he stepped on the mechanism. This is too mysterious.”Ah `Kun said. He couldn't understand why this was happening.
"This is a mechanism of a gravity device. When we walked over, we stepped on that brick, but there was no problem. Perhaps because of the mechanism's setting, some heavy objects were moved away. When Liu Zi stepped on it, it became the hub to activate the mechanism.”Wu Qing explained.
It wasn't that such a mechanism hadn't appeared in ancient times, but to make such a switch, one had to reach a very high level in terms of various calculations and the setting of the mechanism. Even with modern technology, it might not be successful.
They could only admit that they were unlucky to have encountered such a mechanism in this ancient tomb. They had no choice but to admire the craftsmen of the past. Their workmanship was simply too awesome.
