"If that's the case, it won't be easy for us to peel off this layer of skin, right?" After thinking about it, Li Wu said.
Although he is not a person in the art of fighting, he still knows some basic common sense and knows that this kind of disguise will not be easily removed. If it can be broken with just one poke, why do people bother to make it out?
"It's not difficult." Chen Ziyan quickly gave him a reassurance.
He was afraid that if the difficulty was too high, Li Wu would cause trouble.
Although cement is a material that can generally only be dealt with by blasting, Chen Ziyan felt that there was another way to open the insect plate-like thing under his feet.
However, this requires testing to determine, so Li Wu must be stabilized first.
Wu Laogou also helped: "Young Chen is right. If there was nothing here and it was all bare, it would be difficult to deal with, but these holes with hidden rules show that there is another mystery."
"Then I'll rely on you two experts." Li Wu said immediately.
Although he has his own small thoughts, he also knows that professional matters should be left to professionals.
Wu Laogou and Chen Ziyan's meaning was very clear. There might be a trap hidden in the so-called fake skin under their feet, so they would just let the two masters of reverse fighting to find it.
"Haha, you can't even say rely on it. Manager Li is too polite." Wu Laogou replied with a smile.
"It's a matter of duty." After a simple reply, Chen Ziyan naturally changed the subject: "You guys, please don't move around yet. The Fifth Master and I need to check more."
Although he said that, Chen Ziyan was not sure that he could find the mechanism, and he had almost no vision now, so he planned to use a stupid method to check all the cement discs.
The reason why I roped in Wu Laogou was to see if the other party would find out. After all, in the original plot, this was solved single-handedly.
Others naturally had no objections to this, and quickly expressed that they would just stand there and not move around.
Chen Ziyan didn't say anything more. After returning to the edge, he began to slowly inspect along the periphery of the cement disc.
Unfortunately, when he and Wu Laogou met again in the center, neither party gained anything.
Feeling the squirming black-haired snake around him, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Chen Ziyan's mind.
Could this cement disc be related to the black-haired snake?
What made him think of it was those holes. Others didn't know, but he knew very well that there were indeed several body types in the black-haired snake, which were enough to meet the requirements of these holes of different sizes.
Thinking of Chen Ziyan, he started to take action. He didn't need to work hard. He just grabbed a bunch of black-haired snakes. Although they all met the requirements, he could find the suitable ones after a few tries.
After some provocation, Chen Ziyan directly stuffed the black-haired snake of suitable size into the hole at his feet.
After the black-haired snake approached the hole, he could clearly feel the struggle and resistance coming from his hand.
This discovery made Chen Ziyan slightly happy. He is not afraid of your reaction to this kind of thing. What he is most afraid of is that there will be no reaction.
If the black-haired snake just got in by itself, it meant that his idea was wrong.
However, before making the attempt, Chen Ziyan actually expected this, because if the black-haired snakes really didn't respond, they wouldn't have gathered so many in the potholes, and some of them would definitely have entered through these holes. , after all, this is the nature of snakes.
In the next second, Chen Ziyan's expression suddenly changed, because he felt that the black-haired snake that had been half stuffed into his hand began to shake rapidly. The intensity was beyond imagination, as if it was manually moved. It suddenly evolved into electric.
But Chen Ziyan did not choose to stop there. Instead, he increased his speed and completely loosened the captured black-haired snake in a few clicks.
After the black-haired snake completely disappeared into the hole, Chen Ziyan didn't stop there. He grabbed another black-haired snake nearby and stuffed it into the hole again.
Same process, same experience.
If he hadn't personally sent a black-haired snake into it, Chen Ziyan would have thought he had chosen a brand new hole.
In this way, Chen Ziyan sent dozens of black-haired snakes inside to fill the hole.
When he felt that the hole could no longer accommodate the new black-haired snake, Chen Ziyan slowly stood up and said to the others waiting quietly next to him:
"I guess these holes may need to be filled before the mechanism can be opened."
This was really his guess.
Based on this attempt, Chen Ziyan felt that these holes should be connected to some kind of mechanism.
If it is directly connected to the space below, then the black haired snake will not be unable to fit in, so it can only be connected to some kind of mechanism, and this is the meaning of setting up these holes.
Although this is just a guess, it is undoubtedly a path for them now, and there will be nothing wrong with trying it.
So both Brother Wu and Li Wu began to try what Chen Ziyan said.
As for the fact that the black-haired snake is very valuable and cannot be wasted easily, everyone has a tacit understanding and did not mention it. The top priority now is to solve the problem, rather than caring about the value of the black-haired snake.
Fortunately, there are so many black-haired snakes gathered here that even this consumption is nothing.
Although not many people came down, they were all good at what they did, so with the concerted efforts of everyone, it took less than two hours to successfully fill up the holes on the outside.
At this time, on the cement disc under Chen Ziyan and the others, only the hole in the center was left that had not yet started.
Squatting next to the hole, Li Wu asked: "Master Chen, do you really don't need to prepare anything else?"
If Chen Ziyan's guess was correct, after the big hole was filled with black-haired snakes, there should be changes here, so he wanted to ask if other safety measures were needed.
After all, no one knows what will happen then. It would be fine if a portal simply appeared, but it would be bad if there is any danger.
Chen Ziyan had no such worries and said, "Don't worry, we are all tied with ropes. Even if this thing disappears out of thin air later, nothing will happen."
Although he didn't know what would happen, he didn't think it would be too dangerous.
You must know that the fake skin-revealing arrangement is like this, which means that the people who did this in the first place have plans to come back. If they really set the entrance into a trap, what will happen if one of their own people is injured?
Chen Ziyan knew very well that in general, places where fake skins are arranged, regardless of whether they are tombs or treasures, are usually not opened by the current generation themselves, but are left for future generations to pass on to their families.
The most typical example is Hemuji!
Therefore, it may be difficult to set up the mechanism, but it will definitely not be fatal, because he is not sure whether the descendants who will come then will be his.
"Okay." Li Wu touched the rope on his body and felt that he was a little unfounded.
Immediately, a few people stopped talking and started throwing black-haired snakes into the largest hole.
About ten minutes later, as more and more black-haired snakes were inside the hole, a dull sound suddenly came from under everyone's feet.
The sound was dull to the point of dull, but it was not quiet at all. It even overwhelmed the noise made by the surrounding black-haired snakes.
Before Chen Ziyan and the others could react, the cement disk under their feet suddenly began to rotate automatically. Fortunately, the rotation speed was not fast and everyone was able to maintain stability.
As the cement disk rotated, a sense of weightlessness also came. Chen Ziyan suddenly found that they were descending with the cement disk.
But the amazing thing is that only a few of them descended with the cement disc, while the densely packed black-haired snakes seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, and none of them followed.
Chen Ziyan reacted the fastest. When he found that there were no black snakes around, he immediately turned on the flashlight.
When the flashlight light shined on it, Chen Ziyan discovered that only the inner ring of the cement disk had dropped, and the outermost part was still on top. The snake ball composed of countless black-haired snakes just hung there.
"Why does this feel like an elevator?" Li Wu looked at the disc at his feet with a strange expression.
Chen Ziyan was the first to turn on the flashlight, but the others were not slow in their actions. However, not everyone looked up immediately. Li Wu chose to understand the surrounding situation.
But to his disappointment, they were surrounded by rock walls and there was nothing of value at all.
"This should be an elevator, it just doesn't use electricity." Wu Laogou said.
"Master Wu, do you know what this is?" Li Wu asked.
Wu Laogou said with a smile: "Actually, water wheels have been made into simple elevators a long time ago. I think this should be based on the same principle."
Chen Ziyan also withdrew his gaze at this time. Seeing that Li Wu still looked puzzled, he helped explain: "To put it bluntly, it is just like a seesaw played by children, using the principle of leverage."
He knew that Li Wu's level in this area was limited and he couldn't understand what he was saying, so he adopted the most straightforward method.
"Oh! The principle of leverage!" Li Wu had a look of surprise on his face.
Facts have proved that Chen Ziyan understands him.
And while a few people were talking, the cement disc under their feet finally stopped.
Only then did they realize that the surroundings were no longer rock walls not far apart, but instead replaced by an extremely vast underground space.
Chen Ziyan took a flashlight and looked around, and found that the flashlight's beam could not reach the edge of the underground space.
"Little friend Chen, look over there!"
Just as Chen Ziyan was looking around, Wu Laogou on the side suddenly called him.
Chen Ziyan looked in the direction Wu Laogou pointed and saw dozens of neatly arranged water tanks.
But in the next second, he discovered that there was a dark red river on top of these water tanks, slowly falling towards the outermost tank.
And when the flashlight light passed, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath. The dark red river was obviously minced meat mixed with blood!
Looking up at the slowly flowing minced meat, Chen Ziyan discovered that the minced meat came from the cement disc still above, or more precisely, the outer part.
"Meat grinding..."
Chen Ziyan reached this point and slowly uttered two words.
He finally understood what mechanism was set up inside the cement disc. No wonder the black-haired snake that was stuffed in at first reacted so violently.
Others also thought about this at this time, but this actually relaxed the stiff atmosphere in the team. After all, the minced meat came from black-haired snakes, which was not something difficult to accept.
"It seems that these tanks are the mechanism that controls this thing under our feet." Wu Laogou said softly.
Although he couldn't figure out the principle for the time being, this did not prevent him from telling the answer.
"We should be able to untie the rope." Chen Ziyan said.
While speaking, he took off the ropes from his body in a few moments.
Now it is obvious that we want to explore this underground space. Although there is still some distance left on the rope, there is not much room. It is not enough to go any further. It is indeed better to remove it.
Wu Laogou nodded in agreement: "Indeed, since this thing has landed, if you want to go up, you will probably have to trigger another mechanism. There is no need to carry the rope with you."
But Li Wu frowned and said: "Master Chen, Master Wu, do you think there is such a possibility? That is, the thing under our feet needs to have enough weight to activate. If that is the case, will it happen if we all go down?" Just go back by yourself.”
He felt that this was something that needed to be considered. It would be too troublesome if there was no way out because of this.
Although you can contact the superiors at that time and ask them to use the previous method to get the cement disc off, this process will definitely be a waste of time.
And... Li Wu felt that it was a bit dangerous to rush into such an unknown space, but he wanted to see if he could pass this job to Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou.
He led his brothers to guard the retreat, which was also a contribution.
"Don't worry, I won't go back if no one triggers this mechanism." However, Chen Ziyan did not hesitate to overturn Li Wu's wishful thinking.
Before Li Wu could say anything, he directly gave the reason: "As we have said before, most of these deliberately hidden places are left to be discovered later. Let's not talk about this for future generations, but even if it is for what we have Those who are prepared are not making a fuss about this. You must know that the more people there are, the better."
Chen Ziyan's words hit the nail on the head, leaving Li Wu unable to refute.
Because he knew very well that this was the most common sense statement.
Regardless of whether this place is a hidden treasure or a tomb, and regardless of whether the person who did all this was for themselves or for future generations, one thing is certain, that is, there will not be too many people coming.
If you really want to talk about it, their current number is already a bit excessive.
"Little friend Chen, Mr. Li's worry is not unreasonable. Do you think this is a good idea? We should leave two people here. Firstly, to prevent that kind of problem from happening, and secondly, to keep a coordinate." Wu Laogou He said with a smile.
"That's okay." Chen Ziyan thought for a while and nodded.
He didn't care whether anyone was left behind or not, but the area of the underground space was unknown, so leaving a living coordinate was considered a precaution.
