Everyone waited for a while, and the people who went down to investigate returned.
"How's it going down there??" President Els asked.
"We just walked for a while, and there are a lot of forks down there. If we weren't led by someone who is familiar with the road, we might not be able to get out." The mage who followed said.
Captain Ayres nodded.
Emma came over at this time and said: "Everyone, follow me. It is absolutely safe inside. But to be sure, when we elves were building this passage, we also deliberately set up some side roads to ensure absolute safety. , there are some traps inside." Emma said.
President Ayres nodded and said: "Without further delay, let's set off quickly."
Emma looked at it, picked up a thick branch from the ground, and then asked the mage next to me to light it myself. This made a simple torch, and she walked down first.
President Els, Guo Zheng, Prince Lanling, Qinqin, Yier, Xiaoba, Qianmo Sun Qier followed closely behind.
Everyone entered the underground cave in an orderly manner. Because there were so many people, they formed a human queue. The people behind did not need to light torches, because the people in front just had to follow.
Emma led the way inside the cave with her memory.
After probably less than 10 minutes, Emma walked to a wall.
"This is the exit. The mechanism is on this wall. It's an iron ring like the entrance. But I can't remember the specific route, so I need everyone to help me look for it and see where it is in the air. That iron ring That's where the ring is." After Emma said that, she came to the wall and started knocking.
Everyone also took action, and suddenly the sound of various weapons hitting the walls came from the cave.
Everyone put their ears close to the side while tapping, because if it is an ordinary wall, the inside is solid, so the sound when knocked is very muffled; but if it is hollow with a mechanism, it is different, and there will be some noise when knocked. ring.
Guo was lying on the wall listening to the sound.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Dong dong dong!"
Guo Zheng knocked left and right, but he couldn't find a clue. Although this cave is not too big, it can accommodate nearly a hundred people. In such a cave, if you have to look for the mechanism on the wall next to it, it is not that easy. Easy.
Yi'er hit it with her staff to no avail, so she asked: "Emma, are there any special marks on the wall where the mechanism is hidden? Or is there any pattern that can be found?"
Emma replied: "There are rules... It's just that I haven't been here for so long that I can't remember it, and I also came here during a mission. Our scout captain told me once, so I knew As for special markings, I remember our captain told me at the time that there were no markings. If there were markings, they would be discovered, so for absolute safety, there was no setting."
Everyone was right. Since it was for safety, naturally they couldn't make any marks. Now they could only look for it.
The entire cave resounded with knocking sounds one after another.
After Sun Qi'er finished knocking on one side, she planned to try the other side, so she twisted around. What she didn't expect was that the cave was underground, and because it was a secret cave, few people knew about it. No one had cleaned it for many years, and there was a layer of sand on the ground.
Sun Qier was just thinking about finding the trap, but she didn't even move her feet. As a result, her feet slipped and she was about to fall to the ground.
Sun Qier hurriedly stabilized her body, but one of Sun Qier's feet hit her directly
It hit the wall with a crisp sound.
At this moment, everyone present was stunned and looked at Sun Qi'er, because this time it was so clear and crisp, which was very different from the previous muffled sound, and the cave was empty and even louder.
So everyone heard it clearly just now, as if it stood out from the crowd.
Guo Zheng asked: "Qier, have you found the mechanism??"
Sun Qier said hurriedly: "Ah... no... no... I just accidentally slipped and fell... and then stopped again."
As Sun Qi'er spoke, she stepped back, just as her left foot hit the wall again and made another crisp sound.
"It's true!! It should be this kind of sound... It sounds like it's hollow inside..." Emma said after hearing a sound.
In order to show the difference, Emma even knocked on the wall next to her, making a low thumping sound.
"Sun Qier... you found the mechanism." Yi'er said.
"Yes...is that right...I'll try again..." Sun Qier said.
I saw Sun Qier knocking the wall behind with her right foot first, making the same muffled sound. It seems that is not the case here.
Then he knocked back with his left foot, resulting in a crisp sound "Click! Click!".
"It's the wall on the side of my right foot!" Sun Qier said excitedly.
Sun Qier fumbled around and pushed the wall here. Sure enough, just like the grass above, the stone slab slid open, revealing a hidden groove. At this time, an iron ring was exposed inside.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief. They didn't expect that this mechanism was actually under their feet. As soon as they came in, everyone assumed that this mechanism would be within easy reach, so everyone groped the walls and checked the ceiling as soon as they entered.
Unexpectedly, the designer of this mechanism did the opposite, that is, to place the mechanism in a place where you can't imagine it, so that it can be hidden.
Sun Qier pulled the iron ring and found that it was too heavy for even a priest to pull it.
At this time, two Royal Guards guards came over, and Sun Qi'er gave way.
"Hey!" One of the two Royal Guards guards grabbed the upper part of the iron ring, and the other grabbed the lower part of the iron ring, and exerted force at the same time.
"Click!! Click!!! Boom!!!!" Pulling out the iron ring, the wall here rose up.
When the wall rises to the top, it makes a "click" sound. Even if the wall rises to the top, it will be locked by the lock, so there is no need for people to keep pulling on the iron ring.
Behind the wall is a set of steps, and the exit is already outside. As you look up the steps, you can already see light.
"It's done!" Emma said excitedly.
So the first one rushed out, and then everyone came up from the cave one after another.
Guo Zheng felt the dazzling sunlight as soon as he came out. He had stayed in the dark cave for a long time. Although there were torches, the light of the torches could not be compared with the sun.
The only one outside is Xiaoba, who has nothing to do. Her simulation function of the Eye of the Beast can not only see higher, farther, and clearer, but also ignore the environment. That is to say, she has no problem in water, darkness, etc. Not affected. So when Xiaoba came out, he didn't cover his eyes or squint like others.
"That's Moonlight City over there, right?" Xiaoba said.
At this time, everyone's eyes were almost relieved, so they came to everyone's right. There are some towering spiers on the top of the trees. They look like buildings in Moonlight City, but there is still some distance from Moonlight City. Now it is just Just barely visible.
The players and NPCs behind them all came out of the cave one after another. After all, there were thousands of people in the team, and it took a while to get out.
President Ayres ordered to stay put and wait for the team to assemble before making plans.
