The bottom of the secret passage.
Xiao Ran stood on a semicircular stone slab and watched Marvin's movements.
Marvin was squatting on another stone slab, using an endoscope probe to explore the situation under the stone slab.
As the probe entered, the situation under the stone slab was immediately displayed on the endoscope monitoring screen.
The same picture also appeared on the large-screen TV in the basement reception area, on a TV temporarily installed outside the billiards room, and in the live broadcast room.
The first thing that appeared was a dark spiral staircase that led all the way to the depths of the underground shrouded in darkness.
This spiral staircase is only about 80 centimeters wide, can only accommodate one person, and is quite steep.
Due to the special structure of the stairs and the weak lighting.
Only the topmost part of the spiral staircase is visible through the endoscope probe.
As for the situation further down the stairs, it is currently unknown.
On the walls on both sides of this spiral staircase, there seemed to be some round holes the size of fists, which looked like honeycombs.
These round holes appear to be randomly distributed and there is no pattern to follow.
In addition, a lot of dust has accumulated on the steps, and a layer of gray-green moss has grown.
Obviously, the ground on the steps is slippery and dangerous.
Beyond that, nothing else was discovered.
Seeing this scene, many people in the basement cheered in surprise.
"Wow! There is indeed a secret passage here, and the end of the secret passage must be the huge unknown treasure."
"Did you see it? Those round holes on the walls on both sides of the spiral staircase must be traps."
"Sean is right, this secret passage and the secret room deep underground are very dangerous."
While everyone was talking about it, Xiao Ran also squatted down and checked the picture on the endoscope monitor.
What he was paying attention to was not the spiral staircase below, nor the deadly round holes on both sides of the staircase.
Pretending to check the surveillance screen carefully, he said:
"Marvin, turn the direction of the probe and look at what's going on under these two stone slabs."
"We must first safely open these two stone slabs, and deal with the other traps in the secret passage later."
"Okay, Sean."
Marvin nodded and took action immediately.
Immediately afterwards, the endoscope probe that penetrated under the stone slab began to rotate slowly.
As the probe rotates, the situation under the two stone slabs gradually appears on the monitoring screen.
There was nothing unusual under the stone slab on the left where Xiao Ran was standing, and nothing was found, only a thick layer of moss.
However, when the probe turned to the other side, the picture that appeared was different.
You can see that there is a groove on the wall under the stone slab on the right.
In that groove, there was a square wooden box, just below the edge of the stone slab.
If someone lifts up the stone slab on the right without knowing it, its edge will inevitably press against the wooden box.
At first, everyone didn't think there was anything special about the wooden box, nor did they think it was dangerous.
What Marvin said next changed everyone's views and made everyone horrified.
"Faq! This is a wooden box mine used by the German army during World War II. It caused a lot of headaches for Allied soldiers during World War II."
"This wooden box mine contains 200 grams of TNT explosive, which is detonated by pressure. The trigger pressure is three to five kilograms."
"Due to the limited charge, this kind of mine is not very powerful. It is about the same as an M24 grenade, but it is very damaging."
"This kind of landmine is aimed at the soldiers' legs. The large number of wooden spikes produced when it explodes will cause huge damage to the injured person's lower body. Life would be worse than death!"
"If we hadn't discovered this wooden box mine and directly lifted the stone slab on the right, the mine would have been triggered instantly, and the results would have been quite tragic!"
Following Marvin's words, the basement scene and live broadcast room immediately exploded.
"Holy shit! Isn't this just a piece of thunder that will destroy all descendants? It's so damn sinister!"
"This wooden box mine came from the German army in World War II. Could it be that this treasure was buried by the Germans?"
exclaimed the Black Duke.
"It seems that Xiao Ran is right. This secret passage and secret room are really full of dangers!"
"It's a bit scary that there is such a dangerous landmine hidden just at the entrance of the secret passage!"
Tianya Mingyue Dao continued.
Just as everyone was exclaiming, Nick, who was standing in the billiards room, couldn't help but tremble.
"Fortunately, I didn't lift the stone slab at the bottom of the secret passage just now, otherwise a lifetime of happiness would be completely ruined!"
The kid said with fear.
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter, and the atmosphere became somewhat relaxed.
Elaine stood at the door of the billiards room, but she couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, Xiao Ran issued another order.
"Use the probe to get closer to check the situation and see if the wooden box mine and the stone slab are in contact with each other."
"If there is no contact, the mine should be able to be removed and safely dismantled."
"If they come into contact, it will be troublesome. The guy who set the trap may have changed the triggering method of this wooden box mine."
Hearing this, Marvin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect that Xiao Ran was familiar with this kind of wooden box mine from the World War II period.
But when he thought that the treasure map was in Xiao Ran's hands, he was no longer surprised.
The treasure map that no longer exists may have recorded the wooden box mine from World War II, and marked the secret passage and all the traps in the secret room.
How did he know that Xiao Ran saw this through perspective.
If you rely solely on that treasure map to explore this treasure, you will definitely die!
Others in the basement, as well as all the fans in the live broadcast room, all had the same idea as Marvin.
No one had any doubts, just more excitement.
Next, Marvin manipulated the endoscope probe and gradually approached the wooden box mine placed in the groove to check the condition of the mine.
Fortunately, the wooden box mine and the stone slab above were not in contact.
There is a space of two or three centimeters between the stone slab and the mine fuse.
In other words, the wooden box mine will be triggered only if the stone slab on the right is lifted rashly without knowing it.
If the existence of this wooden box mine is known, there is no danger and the mine can be defused very easily.
After confirming this, both Xiao Ran and Marvin let out a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot.
Next, Marvin explored other places under the stone slab.
Fortunately, no other traps were found, and the wall inside the secret passage was very strong.
In a matter of moments, the situation inside the entrance of the secret passage has been clearly explored.
Then, Xiao Ran was ready to open the stone door and enter the secret passage.
"Marvin, you can retract the endoscope probe, and then you can step back a little distance."
"Next I will lift the stone slab on the left, and then lift the stone slab on the right from bottom to top."
"I leave it to you to dismantle the fuse of this wooden box mine. I wonder if you know how to clear mines?"
"If you can't defuse this mine, then send it to the ground first and let Sam send someone to take it to the back garden."
Marvin nodded immediately.
"Don't worry, Sean. When I served in the Middle East, I came into contact with this kind of antique mine and I know how to defuse the fuse of this kind of mine."
As he spoke, he retracted the endoscope probe, then stood up and walked back two or three steps.
He still knew something about Xiao Ran's power.
So I didn't volunteer to lift the two stone slabs under my feet.
When Marvin retreated, Xiao Ran immediately picked up a crowbar placed next to his feet and inserted it into the gap between the two stone slabs.
The next moment, he held one end of the crowbar and pressed down hard.
Following his movements, the seemingly very heavy semicircular stone slab was immediately pried up.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran stretched out his hand to tightly grasp the pried edge of the stone slab, and then used both hands to violently lift the stone slab outward.
Without any suspense, the heavy stone slab was lifted directly by him and crashed to the ground.
This secret passage that had been sealed for eighty or ninety years was finally opened, ushering in the light again.
The moment the stone slab was lifted, a piece of filthy air immediately rushed out from the depths of the secret passage.
Fortunately, both Xiao Ran and Ma Wen were well protected and were not affected.
At the same time, there were exclamations in the basement and live broadcast room.
"Wow! Sean's strength is so amazing. That stone slab probably weighs 1,670 kilograms!"
Thomas exclaimed, his eyes widening.
The rest of the people in the reception area were also shocked and stunned.
In the live broadcast room, the situation also exploded instantly.
"I'll go! When did Xiao Ran's power become so exaggerated? He's so awesome."
Jingcheng Hua Shao exclaimed at the top of his lungs.
As a primary school student and classmate, he knew Xiao Ran relatively well.
But he never expected that Xiao Ran's strength would be so terrifying.
"Oh my god! Elaine, your man isn't Hercules, is he?"
Swift covered her mouth and exclaimed, her eyes shining with admiration.
At this time, Elaine was stunned on the spot, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Inside the secret passage.
Xiao Ran checked the situation inside the stone door, but he was just acting.
After making sure it was safe, he stepped in and stepped on the small platform above the spiral staircase.
Next, with Marvin's cooperation, they carefully opened the semicircular stone slab on the right side.
As the stone slab was lifted, the wooden box mine placed in the groove of the wall was completely revealed.
This secret spiral passage deep underground finally appeared before everyone's eyes.
