"I was listening the whole time, but there was no muffled sound of a huge rock falling.”
Liu Sang said.
"Could it be the Ghost Tomb?"
"When I was young, I heard an old blind man in Xie Ling mention that they had previously robbed a Tang tomb. There was a Western Zhou tomb inside."”
"The old senior went in and couldn't get out. In the end, he escaped through sacrifice.”
"Mournback, why don't you make some sacrifices? Don't worry, even if you lose an arm or a leg, you can still live.”
"You-"
Liu Sang's face instantly turned pale. Fatty Wang was a bastard, but he didn't dare to scold him.
After all, those who dared to enter the tomb were all ruthless people. If he angered Fatty Wang, he would really kill him.
"Don't, don't. Advisor Liu was hired by Second Master.”
Second Capital quickly said.
"Alright, Fatty, you're getting more and more ridiculous.”
Wu Xie shook his head and said,"Could it be that the mechanism has already been left behind?"”
"That's right, Brother Meng. Before we saw the warning stone tablet, you said that you triggered the mechanism.”
Fatty also remembered.
The system provided him with the " Traps Proficiency ", but Liu Meng had to figure out what kind of traps it was.
"That's possible. When I was with Second Master, I specially studied the ancient methods of preventing grave robbing. That was really an eye-opener.”
Two Capital paused and said," Especially biological anti-theft. It's said that there's a type of insect that's in a low temperature state. Once someone enters the tomb and lights a candle or something, it will attract them to fly over.”
"When those bugs touch people, they will spontaneously combust. It's too terrifying.”
Immediately, Fatty stopped talking. He thought that the mute emperor also had some here, such as human hand shells and sea cockroaches.
Could it be that the ancient people had such advanced grazing techniques?
"Rolling sharp knives, sand pits, water channels…Revolving door, rolling wood, thunder stones, bows…"
Liu Meng's mind started to picture the layout and settings of all kinds of traps.
Finally, Liu Meng thought of something-gravity.
That's right.
Back then, Wu Sansheng and the members of the 044 archaeological team could pass through this place without any obstruction. The craftsmen who built the underground palace of King Nanhai also came and went.
This should be a mechanism that was ingeniously made using the principle of leverage.
The ancients were limited by the technology at that time and could not walk out of the mechanism that surpassed the era.
"Alright, everyone listen to my command and retreat to the back.”
Liu Meng said in a deep voice.
Wu Xie, Fatty, and the others didn't understand what he meant, but they still followed Liu Meng's instructions and crawled toward the back.
As expected.
When Liu Meng, Fatty, Boiling Bottle, Liu Sang, and Second Capital were all leaning against each other, they heard a slight friction sound.
Ka la la!
Ka la la!
"Alright, gogogo!"
Liu Meng patted Liu Sang's shoulder.
Liu Sang strode forward and crawled forward.
Then, Liu Meng and the others made a spurt of energy. This time, they finally passed through without any obstacles.
"Hey, what is the principle behind this?”
Fatty mumbled.
"In order to prevent people from coming to rob the tomb, the underground palace has designed a gravity mechanism. When the gravity reaches a certain value, the mechanism will open.”
Liu Meng paused for a moment and continued," Generally speaking, the people who go to the tomb are in small teams of two or three people. They are naturally helpless in such an environment. The timid ones are probably scared to death."”
"Brother Meng, I suddenly feel a little kindness in the world.”
Fatty said with a smile. If it weren't for his weight, it wouldn't be so easy to crack this mechanism.
"Sigh, it's possible to use explosives.”
Fatty said.
"No, this is near the main palace of the Earth Palace. If the explosives are not controlled well and cause a landslide, wouldn't it be suicidal?”
" No!" Wu Xie shook his head." Besides, we're underground. There's still mud and rocks waiting for us above."”
"Right, right, right. The first rule of grave robbing: Always remember that life comes first."
Fatty quickly said.
Suddenly, Liu Sang stopped again.”
"It seems that this is the opposite of the mark. Since we're at lure 1, we're definitely not far from the exit.”
Wu Xie heaved a sigh of relief and said.
"That's right."
Liu Meng nodded. It seemed that someone had dug a hole from here and escaped!
At this moment, Liu Sang saw a candle in the corner and quickly picked it up.""Benefactor, look, candles. Could it be left behind by a colleague?”
Liu Meng took it and took a look. The candle was carved with simple and unadorned patterns. If it belonged to the gold-looting officer, he would probably keep it as an item in the tomb and sell it.
"I know this question. A man lights a candle, a ghost blows out a lamp, and a carriage searches for the stars. Hair mound seal, touch gold amulet, protect the body does not protect the ghost blows out the lamp.”
"It seems that the senior who escaped is really a good person. Please accept my bow." Fatty Wang said smugly.”
"Yes, Senior. Why are you so stingy with your words? It doesn't take much effort to write two more words.”
"He probably didn't expect to escape either.”
"Fatty, why don't you do a good deed and go back now?" Liu Meng paused and said.”
"Ah, Brother Meng, I think we should look forward to everything. Let the past go with the wind.”
Fatty clapped his hands and his gaze fell on the candle in Liu Sang's hand.
At this moment, Wu Xie took the candle and looked at it, but he didn't see anything special.
"Looking at the style of this candle, it should be specially made. There must be a reason for it to be placed here, right?”
Muffled Oil Bottle said.
Sizzle!
Sizzle!
At this moment, Fatty, Liu Sang, and Second Capital's flashlights flashed twice before going out.
"Ah, at the critical moment, the battery ran out.”
Fatty shook the flashlight with all his might.
"Liu Meng, Little Brother, and I are the only ones with flashlights.”
Wu Xie quickly said. He had extra batteries, but he still needed to use them to listen to the thunder.
"Use mine first."
Liu Meng handed his flashlight to Wu Xie and pushed his glasses up his nose bridge.
"Alright, I'll walk in front now.”
Wu Xie continued to move forward.
The right side of the cave ahead was narrower. Fortunately, the exit was just ahead, so everyone was still in a good mood.
After crawling for a while, Wu Xie frowned.""That's not right. Logically speaking, since lure 1 has already passed, the exit shouldn't be far.”
"Little Tian, could it be the gravity mechanism we encountered before?”
Fatty paused and continued,"Why don't we sacrifice Mournback?"”
"Mournback, it's fine if you lose an arm or a leg. At least you've saved your life. I've finished speaking. Who agrees and who disagrees?”
"I think it's still visual deception.”
" There's a special dye on the walls all the way here," said Liu Meng in a deep voice." We can only see a certain point."”
"Because I couldn't see everything, I naturally couldn't find the exit.”
"Then what should we do?"
"Are you blind?" Fatty asked.”
At this moment, Liu Meng's gaze fell on the candle in Wu Xie's hand.""Let's try another light source?”
