There were plenty of hot towels. They tied heavy objects in the middle and threw them down. Soon they stuck to a stone slab. A few bodyguards pulled it out, and the stone was hung up.
Seeing that this method was effective, the bodyguards became even more excited. They controlled their own sling mechanisms at the entrance of the cave, like gold miners, quickly sticking up the small stone slabs on the ground.
After a while, a large number of small stone slabs were collected, and Professor Huang and others also took a look at them. They were some of the most ordinary stone slabs. In terms of material, they were neither marble nor the previous granite.
Such crudely made stone slabs, some of which are of poor quality, will inevitably break into pieces when stepped on, and the traps below will also be triggered simultaneously.
Not long after this idea came into being, some skilled personnel began to use larger pieces of cloth to increase the efficiency of hanging. As the number of times increased, the poor quality stone slabs would squeeze and collide with each other, and they would break into countless pieces in an instant.
Fortunately, the cloth strips were stuck very firmly and no piece fell to the ground.
Bai Ning took a look with the telescope and found that there seemed to be some traps under the stone bricks. However, these triggering traps were buried in the sand. It was difficult to fully confirm with only a little bit of them exposed.
After taking note of such a special spot, other bodyguards also began to focus their work on this piece of slate floor. Soon after, the sandy ground below this area was cleared.
Judging from the black protrusions that are exposed from time to time, there are indeed some trigger mechanisms densely packed inside.
"Let the good ones throw a few stones and have a look."
After just clearing out some of the traps, Bai Ning began to order people to conduct tests. This behavior seemed a bit hasty.
"If these mechanisms eventually trigger the defense system within the entire tomb, we will completely lose the opportunity to enter the tomb."
Jiang Yingxue gave a tactful reminder, instead of directly stating that he had to be patient.
“A layer of sand is laid under the stone slab, which is used to level the ground and bury some more conspicuous things.
We previously speculated that the corresponding mechanisms under the floor tiles would change over time.
If it is triggered in advance, will it be possible to better fix the structure of the tomb? "
Bai Ning's attempt was as bold as ever. If all the mechanisms in the entire tomb could be fixed with one trigger, the infinite possibilities that existed here would also be completely wiped out.
"If, I mean if, these changed areas are partitioned, and the trigger can only trigger the traps within an area, what should we do then?"
Although Jiang Yingxue's words were a bit arrogant, that's what he meant. It was a possibility just in case.
“There is no if after if.
Take it one step at a time. "
Bai Ning gave a brief explanation and signaled the relevant personnel to continue with the previous plan.
Most bodyguards can practice remote attack skills such as throwing daggers, let alone those selected by the Jiang family.
There is a geographical advantage in attacking from above, and the bodyguards responsible for long-range attacks can be said to be perfect, and all the black spots that appear are hit by stones.
Some of the black spots that were hit were just ordinary black stones, and some made a "click, click, click" sound of mechanical rotation after being hit. It was obvious that the corresponding mechanism underground had been triggered.
Although everyone was consciously waiting for the machine to be completely triggered, the "clicking" sound of the machine only sounded for a few seconds and then stopped completely.
There was no scene of arrows raining like locusts in the tomb, nor any sudden appearance of thorn traps. The coffin area was even more normal, and even the burial objects did not tend to topple over.
Everything was silent as usual, as if what had been touched was just a false intimidation trap.
At Bai Ning's signal, the relevant personnel continued to throw stones, and the mechanism behind them also "clicked" a few times and then became silent again.
On the whole, it looks like a complex puzzle-solving mechanism, but if there is no punishment for killing people, what effect can such a tomb trap have?
Could it be that the person buried in the coffin really wants to have a hearty battle of wits with the tomb robbers here?
"How about it? Have the traps in other places been fixed?"
Seeing that there was no movement at all in the tomb, Liu Cheng hummed and came over to ask. If you don't listen to the original meaning, this sentence will be a very lethal taunt.
Some of the bodyguards who had a low sense of humor almost didn't laugh out loud. Fortunately, they were of higher quality and suppressed their laughter.
"I'm not sure yet, you can go down and try it yourself."
Jiang Yingxue's expressionless joke made Liu Cheng's goosebumps almost rise all over his body.
This is not about going down to test that. This is clearly asking him to go down and die.
After eating a few more roasted chickens, I wouldn't be so desperate.
Shrinking his neck, Liu Cheng wisely chose to retreat behind everyone.
"Keep gluing the slate on."
There was no clue at the moment, so Bai Ning could only order the bodyguard to continue sticking the stone slab.
Everyone thought things were as usual, but when the first net went down, the lifted stone slab was shot to pieces by an iron arrow.
Broken stone slabs mixed with broken strips of cloth were scattered all over the floor, and heavy alloy arrows were nailed to the wall, making the upper tomb seem to tremble.
At this time, Liu Cheng was also extremely lucky. If he had gone down in person just now, would he still be pierced by alloy iron arrows and turned into candied haws and hung on the wall?
"Where did the bed crossbow come from?"
Everything happened so fast that even Jiang Yingxue, who was paying attention all the time, didn't notice where the alloy iron arrows came from.
"Shot from beneath the previously exposed sand."
Bai Ning's faint response seemed to suppress the restlessness in the field.
"It seems that the clicking sound just now should be the sound of the bed crossbow turning on.
There must be more bed crossbows than we expected. If we let them all shoot out, the porous dome we are in will probably crack and disintegrate.
A very strong anti-grave robbing method, the purpose is to prevent tomb thieves from using clever methods to bypass the complicated mechanisms inside. "
Professor Huang quite appreciates the anti-grave robbing agency here, but he doesn't know if he has any relevant methods to overcome this difficulty.
“Professor Huang’s judgment is correct.
One way to break open a boulder is to drive nails into the boulder and gradually crack it until the stone cracks.
Stones can withstand pressure but cannot withstand bending. As long as there are enough iron arrows nailed into the dome, we will definitely experience a collapse here. "
Bai Ning only affirmed Professor Huang's conclusion and did not give a certain solution to such a crisis situation, which made Jiang Yingxue on the side feel a little uncomfortable.
Take one step and look at it. The situation is so critical now. Do we want them to leave here directly?
With the fall of this double affirmation, the previous smooth methods can no longer be used, and everyone can only think of their own solutions in silence.
Or maybe they are just taking a final look, waiting for the final order to retreat.
"Professor Huang, is there anything special about the direction in which this iron arrow was fired?
What is the essential connection with the layout of the four-sided mythical beasts in the center of the tomb? "
Just ten seconds later, Bai Ning asked a very professional question, and it seemed that only Professor Huang could answer it.
"It's not clear. The sample size is too small to make specific conclusions."
Although Professor Huang looked thoughtful, the content of his response was very simple, and he had no intention of covering up his shortcomings.
"Then, let's add a few more samples."
Bai Ning nodded to Jiang Yingxue, letting her feel free to make this very bold attempt.
You know, no one knows how many iron arrows it will take for the dome of the tomb to completely collapse, and no one knows whether the subsequent arrows will be fired one by one.
Moreover, according to the general anti-grave robbing logic, if such a collapse mechanism is triggered, in order to better prevent tomb robbing, the fewer iron arrows that cause collapse, the better.
Now, Bai Ning is going to start trying so boldly. All he does is increase the chance of summarizing the rules.
In fact, no one knows whether Professor Huang can discover some patterns at the azimuth level after increasing the number of iron arrows, and then find a way to crack the mechanism here.
However, now that such a determination has been made, Jiang Yingxue can only risk her life to accompany the gentleman.
He waved his hand, signaling the nervous bodyguard to continue sticking the slate.
It seemed that the previous iron arrows had fine-tuned the mechanism's sensitivity. Now, as soon as the stone slabs were glued together, an iron arrow shot out.
From the perspective of the iron arrow's lasing, its original design concept was to hit humanoid creatures standing on the stone slab.
The hanging rope was cut off by an arrow, and the stone slabs that fell to the ground were only slightly scattered and piled on the sand.
"'Both arrows were aimed towards the western tomb wall, which seems to echo the characteristics of western gold.
However, the place where the bed crossbow is hidden is in the south of the tomb, which seems very strange.
The direction dominated by the fire-type beasts fired metallic arrows. Could it be that these iron arrows also had evil ghost icons with flame patterns on them?
In other words, these arrows also contain viruses! "
Professor Huang's analysis made the atmosphere in the venue tense. It is the virus again. This invisible and intangible threat is the most troublesome.
However, an overall analysis of all the threats experienced is either viruses or bed crossbows. This organizational structure reveals that it is simple and efficient, but it has lost the changes it should have.
The design pattern of the mechanisms inside the mausoleum has always given people a feeling of being strange and unpredictable, while the means of killing are boringly single. There seems to be some subtle differences between the two. conflict.
