Unexpectedly, Ling'er turned around and saw an iron fence suddenly and quickly falling down, locking the seven people walking in front, including Ling'er herself, inside!
"Oops! We fell into a trap!" Zhao Xinghe shouted in panic.
"Brother Yang, what should I do?" Ling'er also asked Qi Yang anxiously.
Qi Yang did not answer, but took advantage of the close distance to observe the iron fence in front of him.
When something unexpected happened, not only the seven people locked inside were anxious, but Zhong Gong and Zhong Long, who were isolated by the iron fence, were also extremely anxious.
"Master, are you okay?" Zhong Long asked anxiously.
Zhong Gong said to Zhong Long: "We have to find a way to rescue everyone."
"How to save?" Zhong Long asked hurriedly.
Zhong Gong did not answer, but turned to ask Qi Yang: "Ayang, what can you do?"
Qi Yang replied: "Judging from the material of the iron fence, I'm afraid it's impossible to break out unless you find a mechanism to open it."
"The activated mechanism? Where is it?" Zhong Gong asked.
"The possibility of it being inside is not high. Brother Zhong, go look outside." Qi Yang said.
"Okay!" Zhong Gong said, and he and Zhong Long started looking outside separately.
The people inside were not idle either, holding up their fire folders one after another hoping to find something.
Ji Cangyu had excellent eyesight and immediately noticed the torches on the wall. He stretched out his hand, flicked the fire stick, and lit the torch.
The cave was instantly illuminated by fire, and everyone was able to see everything around them clearly.
This is a road leading underground, but this road is made up of stone pillars. The stone pillar's surface is not large and can only accommodate one person standing on it. Beyond the stone pillar is a deep pit. It was still dark in the pit and it was hard to see what was below.
The caves all have flat stone walls, and there are no handles.
The only strange thing is that there is a stone slab as big as the doorway hanging on the top of the doorway. The left and right sides of the stone slab are hung by a thick iron chain, and each iron chain is placed on a runner. The other end of the iron chain hangs down into the dark bottom of the pit, and it is unknown what else is hanging there. . But it is conceivable that the thing that can hold this stone slab to prevent it from falling must be a heavy object.
Since nothing was found in the cave, everyone pinned their hopes on Zhong Gong and Zhong Long.
But Zhong Gong and Zhong Long searched outside the cave and found nothing.
"There's nothing outside!" Zhong Gong said frustratedly.
"Since we can't get out, let's just go down and have a look!" Qi Yang said.
"Ji Mou also agrees." Ji Cangyu said.
"What about Zhong Long and me?" Zhong Gong asked. If he had a choice, he would also like to explore the secret passage with everyone, even if he is trapped for a while.
"If my inference is correct, the exit of this underground secret passage is near the 'Yunyu Pavilion'. And the snake cave may be another entrance and exit for the secret passage to connect with the outside world." Qi Yang said.
"Then we will go to the 'Yunyu Pavilion' to help you escape!" Zhong Gong said.
"Go! But you two are not familiar with the formation, so don't wander around. It's best to go back the way you came." Ji Cangyu warned.
After explaining everything, Ji Cangyu led everyone along the stone pillars to the lower level of the secret passage.
"Be careful, girl!" The stone pillar was too small, so Qi Yang had to let Ling'er take the first step.
But just when everyone took two steps forward, they heard another loud "clang" sound, which was very similar to the sound of the stone door opening just now, and then the anxious voices of Zhong Gong and Zhong Long.
"It's not good! The poisonous water is starting to pour into it!" Zhong Long pointed at the place where the ravine meets the stone gate and shouted.
"Don't go down any further!" Zhong Gong quickly reminded.
Everyone quickly stopped and stayed on the original stone pillar. At this time, one of the seven people inside happened to be standing on a stone pillar.
Qi Yang was closest to the door and took a clear look at the situation in front of him.
The stone door that had previously stopped falling to the ground continued to fall, and as it slowly fell, the poisonous water originally accumulated in the ravine outside poured into the cave.
The stone door fell very slowly, and not much poisonous water poured in at first. But as the stone door continued to fall, the water flow became larger and larger, like a waterfall pouring down.
"What should I do?" Zhao Xinghe asked in panic.
"Aren't you going to stay here? The terrain here is very high, but even if the poisonous water cannot be poured in, we will be trapped and die here!" Liu Chuyuan said anxiously.
"Yes, we must stop the poisonous water from pouring in!" Ji Cangyu said while looking at the shorter stone pillars below.
Qi Yang also understood that if he wanted to continue the investigation, or even just to save everyone's lives, he had to stop the poisonous water from pouring in before it submerged the shortest stone pillar below. But how to stop it?
While everyone was staring closely at the sinking stone door, Qi Yang discovered that the large stone slab above the doorway was also slowly falling at the same time.
Qi Yang immediately figured out that some mechanism must have been triggered, causing the thick stone slab to pull the iron chain and pull the stone door down. So all we need to do to stop the Shimen from sinking is to hold on to the two iron chains?
Thinking of this, Qi Yang looked at Ji Cangyu. There were two chains, how could he do it on his own?
At this time, Ji Cangyu was also wondering why the stone gate suddenly sank. He saw Qi Yang looking at him and pointing to the high stone slab, and then he realized that the stone slab was also slowly falling.
Qi Yang knew that Ji Cangyu's resourcefulness could be understood without him having to say much, so he stepped on the stone pillar and jumped into the air, grabbed the iron chain that was going up, and hung himself on it.
Ji Cangyu understood and jumped up. But he didn't use his own weight to stop the chain from going up like Qi Yang.
Ji Cangyu was seen holding the wheel with one hand to stabilize his body, and then using the other hand to grab the outer chain and pull it down hard.
"Stabilize! That stone door has stopped sinking!" Zhong Long shouted in surprise. It was brighter outside and they could see more clearly.
"But the poisonous water is still flowing inside, so we have to raise the stone gate higher!" Zhong Gong said anxiously.
Ji Cangyu and Qi Yang looked at each other and pulled the chain harder.
Ji Cangyu was fine, but Qi Yang was in trouble. His right hand was injured and he couldn't find other points of support. He could only rely on his own weight to hold the chain.
How could Ji Cangyu not know Qi Yang's difficulties? But there was nothing he could do to help. He thought to himself: "Let's see how dare you be picky about food in the future! You don't weigh much for such a big person."
Qi Yang saw the teasing in Ji Cangyu's eyes, gritted his teeth, raised his legs and hung them upside down on the wheel, finally finding a point of support.
With the joint efforts of Ji Cangyu and Qi Yang, the stone slab was pulled up, and the stone gate below also slowly rose, finally blocking the poisonous water in the gully.
The sound of water stopped, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Xinghe shouted in surprise: "Great! Great! I thought I was going to die here!"
Everyone felt like they had gone to hell and back again.
Ling'er, who had been paying attention to Qi Yang's situation, naturally knew how uncomfortable it would be for Qi Yang to hang upside down there. She quickly asked: "What should we do next?"
Qi Yang looked at Ji Cangyu, and Ji Cangyu actually understood what Qi Yang meant. They had a tacit understanding and tried to remove some of their strength at the same time.
But at this moment, the stone gate began to slowly sink again.
