Chapter 312 The Secret of Slate Painting

Fatty and Xu Er were lying on the ground, looking at the two big axes that were almost touching the soles of their feet. They couldn't help but feel scared. Xu Er even said in a trembling voice: "Mom... Oh my god..."

Fortunately, the fat man was behind Xiao Ran and Xu Er was behind Hu Bayi. But if it were different, the fat man could save his calves but not his ankles.

"I've let you fool around! How many times have I had to play it safe?"

Hu Bayi looked at the unharmed fat man and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Xu Er finally reacted and got up and hid behind a few people as if running for his life. He looked at his legs repeatedly, fearing that he was now intact.

Perfection is just an illusion.

Hu Bayi and Xiao Ran pulled the fat man up and shined their flashlights on the walls on both sides of the front. Sure enough, at regular intervals, there were two opposite stone slabs with similar paintings engraved on them.

Xiao Ran said: "Sure enough, it's not that simple. It seems that the black blind man really wants to leave some signals for us. Next, we have to pay attention to the paintings on both sides. They should all be methods of passing through the passage."

Hu Ba nodded and said: "This section of the road looks smooth and not too long, but in fact it is extremely dangerous. We really have to take every step step by step. Now that we have figured out the first hurdle, we have to learn from these two brats and jump over it.

The area in front of the stone slab. Fatty, you two just jumped in the wrong position and landed right on the trap."

The fat man said disdainfully: "You black blind man, if you say you want to leave a signal, leave it clearly. If you have to do it so carelessly, are you helping people or harming them?"

Xiao Ran smiled and said: "Fat brother, if he really writes it clearly, then this place won't become a tourist attraction? Anyone who comes can easily pass by. It has to be someone like me who is both wise and brave, and has a lucky star like you.

Only the team that takes the appropriate photo can pass safely."

When the fat man heard Xiao Ran praising him, his slightly sullen face relaxed, and he muttered reluctantly: "Yeah, yeah, even if I owe you another favor."

While he was talking, the two big axes had slowly been retracted, and the stone slabs that had sunk beneath them had bounced back up, leaving the ground as flat as if nothing had happened.

Hu Bayi took the rusty Luoyang shovel from Xu Er, and used the tip of the shovel to poke a place more than one meter in front of the mechanism stone slab. The stone slab also fell with the sound of the mechanism, and the same two yue came from

The sides were shoveled out violently.

He tried several times forward and found that the location where the mechanism could be triggered was only within a range of about one and a half meters in front of him, with a total of nine floor tiles. As long as he jumped over this range of about one and a half meters, there was no need to worry about triggering the mechanism.

The mechanism for chopping off the legs.

Several people easily jumped over the first trap and walked forward for more than ten meters to the next opposite stone slab.

This time, carved on the stone slabs on both sides are the profiles of a group of human figures, which look like they are queuing up. However, the people on the left side are denser, while the people on the right side of the stone slab are sparse.

This time the stone carvings are much more abstract than the previous portraits of the two little ghosts, and it is difficult to guess the meaning. Hu Bayi, Fatty, and Xiao Ran squatted in front of the stone carvings to study them carefully, while Xu Er behind them looked at them.

Once he saw it, he ran to the other side to have a look.

"This seems to be the Naihe Bridge. The place where these people are stepping is an arch. But in front of us is flat ground..."

Hu Bayi said and took a picture in front of him. Apart from being covered with a layer of broken soil, there was nothing special about the ground in front of him. Xiao Ran turned around and took a picture of the walls on both sides, and then took a picture of the ceiling above.

I saw some clues.

"Look at the two sides, as well as the top. There are small holes in the wall and the top. If we accidentally step on the mechanism, there will probably be steel needles poking out from all sides, turning us into a hornet's nest." Xiao Ran said.

The fat man studied it for a long time and said: "What do you mean by this picture? Could it be that only one person can pass by at a time, and we have to queue up to go there. If we go forward in a swarm, the mechanism may not be able to support our weight.

Are you about to stab him outside?"

Hu Ba nodded and said: "It makes sense, but to be on the safe side, let's try other methods first. If your guess is wrong, we will have to fold it all in."

After hearing this, Xiao Ran looked around, picked up a broken floor tile, and threw it forward.

Unexpectedly, the floor in front of them sank in the moment they made contact with the floor tiles. There was a "click" sound in front of them, and about two seconds later, within a full five-meter range of the passage in front, densely packed steel needles came from

The steel needles were poked out from all sides, up, down, left and right. The steel needles were intertwined with each other, and even the passage in front was tightly blocked.

"Damn it... this isn't a hornet's nest. It's just become minced meat, right?" the fat man sighed.

Obviously, although the fat man's idea was logical, he still guessed wrong. A floor tile only weighed a few kilograms and could easily trigger the mechanism. If they really queued up, they would have to be skewered one by one.

Hu Bayi looked at the steel needles that were slowly retracting, then looked back at the starting point of the tunnel, then turned to ask Fatty: "Fatty, what's your best long jump result? Can you reach seven or eight meters?"

The fat man returned: "It depends on how you jump. I can't jump horizontally, but vertically like jumping off a building, I can go farther than any of you..."

Xiao Ran was a little bit sure. He might be able to jump over this distance if he tried hard. But the problem was that maybe he didn't jump over, and even the bone-shrinking technique couldn't save him.

Besides, even if he gets through safely, what will others do?

While he was worrying, Xu Er suddenly came over and said: "These two paintings seem to depict the same person..."

Xiao Ran frowned and said, "Where can the same person come from? There are so many people, right?"

Xu Er quickly pointed to one of the human figures and said: "Look at this man, he is the only one with a beard. There is also this man in the painting over there."

Several other people took a closer look and found that although these human figures were carved very freely, there was indeed one person who was slightly different. A short section hung down from his chin, which looked a bit like a beard.

They turned to the other side, and the man also appeared on the arched road, but the people in front and behind were sparser, and his position was relatively further back.

Xiao Ran looked to the left, then to the right, turned his head back and forth several times, and seemed to have discovered something. He asked other people: "Do you feel that the queue on the left is too dense, and then everyone goes to

After you stepped back and distanced yourself, it turned into what it looks like on the right?"

Hu Bayi suddenly opened his eyes wide at this time and said, "Before those steel needles came out just now, did you hear anything in front of us?"

Fatty and Xu Er looked at Hu Bayi and Xiao Ran in confusion, but the two people behind them exchanged glances, as if they understood each other.

Xiao Ran once again picked up a floor tile and threw it in front. The moment the floor tile fell to the ground, there was indeed a "click" sound from the ground directly in front of them.

Hu Bayi quickly raised his foot and stepped down on the noisy floor tile. The buzzing sound before the mechanism was triggered suddenly came. Xiao Ran gritted his teeth and strode forward. The fat man didn't have time to pull him away.

.

But in the surprised eyes of Fatty and Xu Er, Xiao Ran steadily passed the agency area about five meters ahead, turned around and waved to them with a smile.
