Qi Yang looked at Ji Cangyu, and Ji Cangyu actually understood what Qi Yang meant. They had a tacit understanding and simultaneously withdrew some of their strength.
But at this moment, the stone gate began to slowly sink again.
Fortunately, Qi Yang and Ji Cangyu reacted quickly and used their strength again to make Shimen stop again.
"This won't work! The stone gate will fall down as soon as the force is withdrawn." Ji Cangyu frowned.
"What should we do? We can't keep holding him like this?" Ling'er looked at Qi Yang hanging upside down and was very anxious. Not to mention the discomfort of hanging upside down, his legs were still injured!
"How long can you hold on?" Ji Cangyu also noticed that Qi Yang was struggling and asked.
Qi Yang endured the discomfort in his knees and panted as he replied: "It's enough for them to walk down the stone pillar safely."
Ji Cangyu saw Qi Yang clenching his teeth and guessed that he couldn't hold on for long, so he looked at everyone.
Everyone naturally understood the meaning of Qi Yang's words.
Ling'er first objected: "I don't want to leave by myself! I want to go together!"
"Yes! Let's go together!" Liu Chuyuan and Jiang Yu said in unison.
Zhao Xinghe and Xu Jun looked at each other. Although they were not very willing, they could only agree: "Yes!"
"Since they are unwilling to leave first, we should find a way to crack this mechanism!" Ji Cangyu said.
"To crack the mechanism, you must first know what triggered the mechanism." Liu Chuyuan analyzed.
Qi Yang deliberately did not think about the old injuries on his knees and calmed down to think. Since entering the stone gate, they have triggered the mechanism twice. After the first trigger, the iron fence fell and trapped them, but the second time, the stone door was pulled downwards by the big stone slab. Obviously, the thick stone slab is heavier than the stone door. There must be some device to fix the chain at first, and then the mechanism is triggered and the chain is released.
Qi Yang looked at the five people standing on the stone pillar. Recalling that when they entered the cave, except for stopping at the door, they just walked on these stone pillars and never touched any other place. Could it be that the mechanism was triggered when stepping on these stone pillars?
Qi Yang observed the stone pillars near the cave entrance. Except for the first stone pillar he stood on and the sixth stone pillar Ji Cangyu stood on, they might be the key to triggering the mechanism.
Qi Yang remembered that when he walked into the cave just now, one of them was followed closely by the other. When he jumped over with Linger, the iron fence was triggered and fell. There were five people in front of him at that time, and Xu Jun, who was at the front, happened to reach the fifth stone pillar. It can be inferred that the mechanism that triggered the iron fence's fall is on the fifth stone pillar.
Qi Yang couldn't help but suspect that the designer of this mechanism did not want more than five or six people to enter the secret passage. If he hadn't jumped over with Ling'er, there wouldn't have been more than six people trapped here.
Qi Yang didn't spend any more time on the first mechanism. He recalled that just now after they decided to move forward to investigate, they only took two steps forward before triggering the trap again. Does this mean that the mechanism is located behind the fifth stone pillar? After Ji Cangyu flew away from the stone pillar, the mechanism was not closed, so it can be preliminarily judged that the mechanism was located on the seventh stone pillar where Xu Jun was standing at this time.
Qi Yang is not worried that this mechanism cannot be closed. He understands the psychology of mechanism designers. Except for those who want to kill everyone, there will always be a way to break it.
Most of the mechanism designers have some vicious ideas, that is, to allow the challengers to pass the level with great difficulty, only to have to face even more terrifying challenges ahead. And this secret passage is still very long. The designer of the mechanism will never be willing to take the lives of others easily, otherwise no one will be able to admire the exquisiteness of his mechanism design along the way.
Staying away from the stone pillars that trigger the mechanism may be the way to crack it.
Most people will not continue to move forward when they see the poisonous water coming up, but will turn back and seek shelter at higher ground. If there are less than seven people in the cave, as long as people are courteous to each other and retreat in an orderly manner, they can immediately disarm the trap and pass the level smoothly. If there are more than six people in the cave, they cannot evacuate the seventh stone pillar and can only watch the poisonous water pouring up. At this time, if someone starts internal strife and fights for those higher stone pillars in order to survive, the mechanism will be lifted. In other words, no matter how many people entered the cave before, only a maximum of six people would be left alive in the end.
So it is not difficult to crack this mechanism. The designer of the mechanism just wants to control the number of people entering the secret room, and is happy to see people killing each other in order to survive. Once the purpose is achieved, the mechanism will be cracked. However, after the mechanism is cracked, you may not be able to survive to pass the next level. If a large amount of poisonous water has been poured into you, you will only have to wait here to die.
Qi Yang thought about it, and after confirming that the seventh stone pillar was the location of the mechanism, he said: "Master Ji, please move away from the stone pillar under your feet!"
Xu Jun raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi Yang, but made no move.
"What? Do you think the mechanism is under that stone pillar?" Ji Cangyu asked curiously.
"Yes, as long as everyone does not step on the seventh stone pillar, the trap will be lifted." Qi Yang said confidently.
"Why do you think so?" Zhao Xinghe asked curiously.
Qi Yang did not think that Zhao Xinghe would have such doubts. This is also the reason why he thought long and hard before he dared to speak until he was completely sure. This group of people did not trust him like Ling'er and obeyed his words. If he wants everyone to cooperate, he can only show evidence.
Qi Yang secretly gritted his teeth and endured the pain in his knees. Just as he was about to give an explanation, he was interrupted by Ji Cangyu.
Ji Cangyu said: "Now is not the time to study these in detail. Jun'er, get off the stone pillar under your feet!"
Xu Jun then obediently moved away and walked to the next stone pillar.
No movement? Everyone listened carefully for a long time, but heard nothing.
"What's going on?" Zhao Xinghe looked at Qi Yang and blamed him.
Qi Yang glanced at Zhao Xinghe, then turned to Ji Cangyu and said, "Master Ji, count to three, let us go together?"
Ji Cangyu hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement. He believed that the method Qi Yang said was feasible. First of all, he is quite confident in Qi Yang's inference ability. Secondly, he believed that even if Qi Yang was Mrs. Piao Piao's subordinate, they were all in the same boat at the moment, and Qi Yang would not even risk his own life.
So, Qi Yang started shouting: "One, two, three!"
Just when Qi Yang finished speaking, Ji Cangyu let go of the hand holding the iron chain, grabbed the wheel with one hand and climbed on the stone wall, while Qi Yang hung upside down on the wheel after releasing his left hand. .
The moment he let go, the chain started moving again, but the next moment everyone heard a "clang" and everything stopped.
Everyone was relieved and finally passed another level.
Ji Cangyu looked at Qi Yang, but he didn't expect that their cooperation was quite tacit.
Feeling a little sore and numb in his arms, Ji Cangyu fell back onto the sixth stone pillar. He looked up at Qi Yang, but Qi Yang was still not coming down.
Qi Yang was a little embarrassed. His knees hurt, and he was not sure he could land safely on the stone pillar.
