Chapter 245 Organs
The flowing underground river looks calm on the surface, but there is an undercurrent surging beneath the surface. Half of the large solid wood waterwheel can be seen submerged in the river. As the water slowly moves, it ripples layer by layer.
of ripples.
Wu Xiong and the other three walked forward along the wide and humid cave.
The exquisitely crafted mechanisms suspended at the top of the cave really attracted the attention of the three of them. Master Wu Wu said in a low voice:
"This mechanism is extremely exquisitely arranged. If you want to build such a large-scale crossbow mechanism on such a steep grotto, you will consume gifts from people that are beyond the reach of ordinary small sects. It seems that the sect where Qionghai Ancient City is located
, before it is destroyed, there must be some reputation in the world, and it is definitely not unknown."
Gu Hong's black robe was almost hidden in the dark night. Seeing him slow down, he nodded:
"Yes, these crossbow mechanisms are all connected together, claiming to be one body, and can move the whole body with one move. Although the structure is not very exquisite, after all these years, this seemingly simple structure is the most practical and reliable."
Gu Hong turned his head and looked at the waterwheel submerged in the underground river:
"It is these waterwheels that drive all the crossbow arrows. Once the mechanism is triggered, the arrows will be fired. Fortunately, we have a topographic map and enter the ancient city through this safe low passage. We have avoided the crossbow mechanism. We want to come to these dangerous situations."
, prepared for those above."
Naturally, there is no need to say more about what a bloody outcome would be if so many crossbow arrows were fired in unison. Wu Wuxin followed up with a Buddhist saying and sighed:
"Amitabha, how good it is, it seems like another person who has been deceived by desire will be buried here."
Wu Xiong, who was walking at the front, slowly raised his head and looked upward. With the dim light of the torch, he saw rows of crossbow arrows neatly placed above his head. The sharp arrow tips were in the humid underground environment.
There are some mottled rust, but even so, if such a large number of crossbow arrows are fired in succession, in too small a space, Wu Xiong thinks that with his own strength, it will be difficult to avoid these.
The mechanism has posed a fatal threat to him, an ordinary second-rate warrior.
Secretly swallowing a sip of saliva, Wu Xiong couldn't help but feel lingering fear. Fortunately, he had the incomplete topographic map to guide him, so he could successfully avoid these traps. At the same time, he gradually felt relieved that he could pass under these traps, and even
The internal structure of the agency was exposed before his eyes, and Wu Xiong was almost certain that this long, dark, low passage was the road leading directly to the core of the ancient city.
The exquisite mechanism structure is exposed in front of you. It is easy to destroy it. You only need to destroy the water wheel or cut off the iron chain connecting the crossbow arrows, and the mechanism will be useless immediately. However, Wu Xiongsan did not interrupt this.
I saw that they all had a tacit understanding not to mention this matter, and walked along the grotto tacitly.
Next to the ancient city on land, their progress was much slower than that of Wu Xiong and the other three who had already entered the ancient city.
I saw that the warriors had been waiting here for more than half an hour. Some of the warriors who were lightly injured had basically controlled their body injuries. Most of them suffered external injuries, and their skin was corroded by the white juice of the vines.
Although it looked scary and bloody, it did not damage any of the internal organs and was not a serious problem.
Almost everyone gathered around Gu
Outside the tower, even Shangguan Yili was no exception. They were all observing and pondering, trying to find a way to open the door, but most of the hour had passed quietly, and everyone still found nothing.
Xiao Yueming and his party stood not far from the ancient pagoda. The Four Saints of the Ancient Mountain had carefully observed the ancient pagoda in front of them, but they found nothing.
The entrance has been found, the ancient pagoda is in front of us, and the secret books are only one step away, but now being turned away, Feihu scratched his head with his big hand, feeling a little annoyed:
"His grandma's, this treasure is right in front of you, and now it's blocked by a broken door. What a big deal!"
"If you ask me, it would be better to just smash open this broken door. This ancient tower looks so shabby. Even if there is any mechanism, it will probably be rusted to death and malfunctioned long ago!"
As soon as Feihu finished speaking, there was a roar in front of him, causing everyone to look up. Xiao Yueming also looked in the direction of the ancient pagoda after hearing the sound.
I saw a tall and thick man, who could no longer control his temper. Seeing his impatience, he raised his fist and slammed the door of the ancient pagoda.
"Boom~"
The strength of this strong man is already quite good, and he is a bit more powerful than the man who entered the dense forest of white mist first. But looking at the power of this punch, he has already entered the second-rate realm for the first time.
The fist wooden doors collided in the distance, and the entire ancient pagoda was shaken with great force. The muddy dust stained on the door was suppressed to the ground, and the dust was flying for a while.
This sudden change shocked everyone present.
All the warriors quickly retreated and stayed away from the ancient city. Even those warriors who were seriously injured and were still practicing their breathing were frightened by the movement and stood up quickly, looking towards the ancient city with vigilant eyes.
For a moment, the scene was silent, and everyone stared nervously at the ancient pagoda. As time passed, the ancient pagoda was hit by a punch, but no changes occurred. Only then did the stone in everyone's hearts change.
After letting go, his tense expression also relaxed a lot.
Many people cast dissatisfied glances at the strong man, secretly thinking that the strong man had no brains and no muscles.
One of them, a handsome young man wearing sect attire, pointed at the strong man and cursed loudly:
"You acted so recklessly, and you actually attacked the ancient pagoda directly. Fortunately, you didn't trigger the mechanism of the ancient pagoda, otherwise everyone would be buried with you!"
Someone else immediately chimed in:
"I've really gained so much muscle. If I can really blast open this door with brute strength, will it be your turn to take action?!"
"That is, if it is really because of your recklessness that the goods were not received during this trip to the ancient pagoda, then it is your fault!"
Everyone complained and discussed. In fact, they didn't know whether the door of the ancient pagoda could be broken open with brute force. The reason why they didn't do it was because they didn't dare and were afraid of triggering some mechanism.
Gan Chuang, who was standing not far away, also frowned secretly.
Shangguan Yili narrowed his eyes slightly, rolled his eyes at the strong man, and cursed in a loud voice:
"What a fool!"
To be responsible for everyone, to become everyone
Looking at the target, he saw that the strong man looked nonchalant. Obviously, this was not the first time he had experienced such a thing:
"Humph, what happened if I just hit you?!"
"A bunch of mouth bugs, why don't we practice and see our true skills? I just broke through to the second-rate level a few days ago, so I just need someone to practice with!"
As soon as these words came out, it was already matched with the power of the strong man's punch. Everyone was a warrior, so it was natural to see that the strong man was very strong, and no one stood up for a while.
Seeing this, the strong man looked even more arrogant:
"I thought you were so powerful, but you are such a coward. I really look down upon you!"
Facing the strong man's verbal provocation, many people in the crowd had their eyes on fire, clenched their fists, and their hearts were filled with anger. However, this strong man was a genuine first-time second-rate master after all, and his strength was there, so he rashly stepped forward.
Before, I was afraid that I would die at the hands of this brainless person, which would be a loss that would not be worth it.
Those warriors whose strength was higher than that of the strong man saw that there was nothing unusual happening in front of them, so they ignored this man. In their eyes, this strong man had nothing but strength, not to mention insufficient evidence.
There is no point in quarreling with such a person.
Feihu, who was standing not far away from the crowd, said hello to himself. He had long disliked this ancient pagoda, but due to his status, he couldn't take action. Now someone actually did it.
This made Feihu very happy.
The strong man glanced at the warriors with an arrogant expression, taking the anger in the eyes of those warriors who were not as strong as him as his unruly capital, but he automatically ignored the gloomy expressions of those masters.
I saw him walking quickly in front of the ancient pagoda, rolling up his sleeves, and preparing to bombard the gate again!
Everyone saw the strong man's intention and retreated in panic. The real masters of the second-rate realm looked at the strong man with cold eyes, preparing to subdue this man. If he was left to continue to be brainless,
It's nonsense. Once any fatal mechanism is triggered, you will be the one who dies. They will never allow this to happen.
He looked at the warriors who were retreating with contempt, and when he saw those powerful second-rate masters, his eyes were full of fighting spirit:
"Look at how scared you are, let me knock this broken door into pieces!"
After saying that, I saw that the strong man had already raised his arms. For a moment, several second-rate warriors present tensed up their bodies. They all tacitly wanted to work together to take down this man.
"Pa~"
Just as the strong man was about to swing his fist towards the gate of the ancient pagoda, he felt a strong force coming from his wrist. The force was so powerful that it was simply unimaginable.
The strong man's arms immediately floated in the air, and he quickly turned around. Standing in front of him was an old man who was a head shorter than himself. Compared with the strong man, his skinny figure was simply small.
Like a hemp pole.
The person who came was Hui Yun, and the strong man naturally recognized this first-class master from the Vientiane Palace. Seeing that he still refused to give up, he seemed to want to compete with the first-class master.
