Dan Qi probed another layer of the passage mechanism, and the first thing Chen Ran saw was a coffin. To be precise, it should be a crystal sarcophagus.
Then Chen Ran discovered that it was a stone room.
In this stone room, apart from this crystal coffin, there is nothing else.
This scene involuntarily reminded Chen Ran of what the weirdo had said to him: "That day I suddenly discovered a secret passage. The secret passage led not to a way out, but to a stone room. There was nothing in this stone room.
There was only one sarcophagus, and I opened the sarcophagus and saw a stone man lying inside, wearing a very beautiful armor."
Under the exploration of Dan Qi, there was also a stone man lying in the crystal coffin. However, unlike what the weirdo said, this stone man was actually a brass man.
Although it is a little different, it is obvious that if everything the weirdo said is true, this stone room should be the one he broke into by mistake.
If it was not certain before that what the weirdo said was true, it is undoubtedly certain now.
However, in addition to the secret passage in front of them, Chen Ran also discovered a passage in this stone room, and this passage led to another, larger stone room.
What was going on in this larger stone room was too far away for Chen Ran to detect.
In addition to the secret passage in front of them, there is another secret passage in this stone room. So the weirdo said that he suddenly discovered a secret passage. Which of the two passages is this secret passage?
Based on their current situation and the situation in the stone chamber, it was almost impossible to guess that the secret passage the weirdo said they had discovered was obviously not the secret passage in front of them that looked like a railway tunnel, but another passage.
You know why? The reason is naturally the sea of molten fire they just passed through. This sea of molten fire obviously did not form in a short time. It must have been there when the weirdo and his comrades entered this place. Mr. Hou and the others have Chen
Only with the help of Ran can we get here, and the weirdo and his comrades are just ordinary people, or at most soldiers, so how can they come here.
Then there is undoubtedly only one possibility, that is, the weirdo and his comrades have never passed through this sea of molten fire, so the secret tunnel the weirdo mentioned is naturally not the tunnel in front of them.
Another reason is the problem of distance and time. According to the weirdo, he broke into this stone room unintentionally and broke in alone, and it didn't take long to break into this stone room. It can be said that
They broke into this stone chamber in seconds. It was naturally impossible to arrive at this stone chamber from the cave where Chen Ran and the others were before, through the sea of molten fire, and then through the secret passage in front of Chen Ran and the others.
Yes.
So the weirdo said he discovered a secret passage into a stone chamber. This secret passage was not the secret passage in front of Chen Ran and the others, but another passage in the stone chamber.
What does this mean?
This shows that the weirdo and his comrades have not passed through this sea of molten fire. To put it further, it means that they entered this mysterious place and did not take the same route as Chen Ran and others.
If the stone chamber discovered by Chen Ran is the destination, there are two routes to reach this stone chamber, and these two routes finally converge at one point.
And this point is this stone room.
With this discovery, Chen Ran was half happy and half worried. What he was happy about was that since there was another route, it meant that they were not wrong in walking this way. When they arrived at this stone room, they could follow the other route.
You can go out.
What worries them is that according to the weirdo, the Japanese army trapped them here. Since they wanted to trap them here, the Japanese army must have destroyed or blocked the way out of that route, otherwise
The weirdo and his comrades will not be trapped and die here.
Although he was a little worried, Chen Ran was more happy than worried. This was because no matter what, there was another passage ahead, which was better than a dead end.
The reason why Mr. Hou, Wu Bing, Zhang Yang and others were discouraged was not because they wanted to go out and were supposed to go back the way they came, but now they were going deeper. With this pressure, how could they have the confidence to escape.
Of course, this is not the main reason. The main reason is that Chen Ran thinks that the weirdo and his comrades do not have the ability of his elixir. The weirdo and his comrades cannot find a way out. He has the elixir to say that
Not sure but you can find it.
With this in mind, Chen Ran became somewhat anxious about the next journey. Seeing that Mr. Hou and the others had finished eating, he urged him: "Okay, everyone, let's get up and keep walking while there is still some last bit left."
If you have enough physical strength, you can go as far as you can, maybe the exit is just ahead!"
Chen Ran didn't tell Mr. Hou and others about the weirdo, so even though he made this discovery, he couldn't explain it to them.
Mr. Hou and the others didn't know about his discovery, so of course what he said meant that he didn't say it. They had thought so along the way, but they still hadn't gone out until now. Now they had no hope.
The reason why they continued to move forward was because they themselves were not ordinary people. Although they had no hope, they were unwilling to do so. In addition, everyone was moving forward, so they all followed suit.
Chen Ran can now be said to be the backbone of their group, so although they all have no strength at all, after hearing his words, everyone stood up and looked at the passage behind them, but obviously except for
Except for Mr. Hou, no one else has any ideas. For them, since Chen Ran is here, they just need to listen to Chen Ran.
Mr. Hou just asked Sun Li for a flashlight to shine into the dark passage. It was just that although the passage was not deep, it was dark and filled with some smoke. Even if he looked at it, he could not see clearly.
I frowned and had to give up.
"Go in."
At this time, Chen Ran pulled Xiaoyu to go in. Mr. Hou nodded, took the initiative to hand the bright flashlight to Chen Ran and followed Chen Ran and Xiaoyu.
Although Chen Ran didn't need it, he took it and everyone else followed him. The passage was nearly two meters wide, so it didn't seem crowded.
The passage was only a dozen meters deep, and Chen Ran soon led them to the end. At this time, they also discovered that there was no road ahead of this place.
This immediately stunned them, but then they also thought that there must be a secret passage here, so after realizing it, they quickly looked for a switch that could open the secret passage.
They were searching, and Chen Ran was naturally not idle either. In fact, he had already been searching with his alchemy energy when he walked along just now.
He led Mr. Hou and the others here, and Dan Qi also searched here.
Almost in an instant, Chen Ran discovered a place that might be a secret passage mechanism. It was in the right corner of the bottom floor of the stairs.
If you look at it with the naked eye, you can't see anything different about this place at all, but Chen Ran has the elixir energy, so he naturally found this place easily.
Chen Ran stretched out his hand and touched this place. Even if he touched it with his hands, he couldn't find any difference. Obviously, this switch can only be found by the owner who remembers the location of the switch. It is impossible for outsiders to find it.
.
Chen Ran touched this place and pressed hard. Hearing a clang, the stone slab at the top of the stairs was moved away.
Others were still looking for it, and saw that there was no obvious switch button near the stairs. They thought that even finding the switch to open the secret passage would take a lot of time, but they didn't expect that Chen Ran found it so quickly.
The others didn't think much about it. When Mr. Hou saw where Chen Ran was pressing, he couldn't help but frowned. After Chen Ran opened the secret passage, he let go of his hand. After he let go, the button also
It returned to its original state, but there was nothing unusual at all. I really don’t know how Chen Ran discovered this place.
Although he was a little surprised, Mr. Hou didn't doubt anything. He just thought that Chen Ran had rich experience in this area.
Although they still don't know what's going on above, just because this secret passage has been opened, President Hou and the others are obviously relieved. After all, if they can't open this secret passage, then they really have no hope at all.
The secret passage had been opened. Chen Ran couldn't understand whether there was any mechanism on it, so after opening the passage, he climbed up on the stairs.
After climbing up, he pulled Xiaoyu up, and Xiaoyu pulled Huang Lele up, and then Chen Ran pulled Mr. Hou up as well.
Except for Chen Ran, everyone else was hungry and thirsty, and had almost no strength, so Chen Ran could only pull them up one by one.
"There may be a mechanism here, so don't touch anything." After Mr. Hou and the others climbed up, they stood in the stone room and looked around. They saw a half-open exit behind the crystal coffin. Liu Qing even wanted to go over and take a look.
After seeing it, Chen Ran reminded them.
Although he had used his alchemy energy to detect that there were no mechanisms or anything like that in this stone room, the dangerous feeling it gave him had not disappeared yet, and Chen Ran did not dare to take it lightly.
"Captain Chen is right, try not to look at it." After hearing Chen Ran's reminder, Mr. Hou cleared his throat and nodded in agreement.
Before meeting Chen Ran, they had suffered from various hidden weapons. Otherwise, Sun Li would not have lost an arm.
There is nothing else in this stone room except this crystal coffin. Although the crystal coffin is relatively valuable and rare, it is nothing strange to them present, so Mr. Hou and the others took a look.
After looking at the brass man in the crystal coffin, I basically focused on the half-open stone door behind the crystal coffin.
Of course, except Chen Ran.
Chen Ran focused on the brass man. This brass man was not a machine puppet. The reason why Chen Ran paid attention to it was because the blood cup was drilled into the body of the brass man.
Chen Ran used his alchemy energy to explore the brass man and found that the brass man was made of unknown materials. His body was extremely hard. When his alchemy energy penetrated, he could hardly move.
The elixir energy was consumed a lot, but he didn't penetrate it. Chen Ran simply gave up. But just when he gave up, he suddenly found a small hole in the brass man's lower abdomen.
Originally, Chen Ran was still wondering how the little guy got into the brass body. When he saw the hole, he immediately understood.
Chen Ran controlled the elixir energy and got into the hole. Almost in an instant, he discovered the little guy who had got into the body of the brass body.
When he found the little guy, Chen Ran was really surprised. This was because the little guy was biting the brass man's body.
Without even thinking about it, Chen Ran knew that the hole was made by the little guy.
This brass man's body is so hard that his elixir energy is almost impossible to penetrate, but the little guy can bite out a hole with his own teeth?
This had to surprise Chen Ran at the sharpness of the little guy's teeth.
After Chen Ran got the little guy, he still didn't know the little guy's ability. This is undoubtedly his ability.
However, Chen Ran was a little strange about what the little guy wanted to do when he got into the body of the brass man.
It's not that Chen Ran's alchemy energy can't be penetrated. It's not that it can't be penetrated. The main reason is that it's too laborious and time-consuming to penetrate. It's not necessary.
Since the little guy went to such trouble to get in, it was obvious that the brass man had something he wanted in his body, so Chen Ran didn't stop it.
"What's wrong?"
At this time, their attention was always on the half-open stone door behind the crystal coffin head. Only Xiaoyu, Huang Lele and Chen Ran were standing next to the crystal coffin. Xiaoyu glanced at the brass man a few times.
He also focused on Shimen. When he looked back at Chen Ran, he found that Chen Ran was looking at the brass man in a daze, so he asked strangely.
"It's okay." Chen Ran shook his head and pulled Xiaoyu towards the stone gate. But the moment he turned around, he suddenly noticed something strange out of the corner of his eye.
Chen Ran was startled for a moment, then turned around and looked over. When he looked, he found a horn with some hair under the brass man's armpit.
Chen Ran did not pick it up directly with his hands, but first used Dan Qi to explore it, and found that it was an animal skin with some strange patterns on it.
Only then did Chen Ran reach out and pull the animal skin out from under the brass man.
When Xiaoyu saw Chen Ran pull out a piece of animal skin from under the brass man, she quickly moved her head to look at it, but she couldn't understand what was painted on it.
Chen Ran obviously couldn't understand it either. The pattern should be a kind of writing, but let alone recognizing it, he had never seen it before.
He turned to look at Xiaoyu, and when he saw Xiaoyu shaking her head, he used his alchemy energy to detect the age of the animal skin.
It turned out that the hide was not even a hundred years old.
This made Chen Ran feel strange. It hadn't been there for a hundred years. It was probably left by people from Prince Qi's palace, or by the weirdo and his comrades, or by the Japanese army.
According to the weirdo's description, his comrades never entered this stone room at all, so this animal skin should not have been left by the weirdo and his comrades, and the Japanese army probably would not have left such a thing.
Chen Ran felt that there was a high possibility that this animal skin was left behind by someone from Prince Qi's Mansion.
But even if he guessed who left it, it would be of no use if he couldn't recognize the words on it.
He and Xiaoyu couldn't recognize him, and the others undoubtedly couldn't recognize him, so Chen Ran didn't go to greet them, and just put the animal skin into his backpack. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, he just put it on first, maybe it would work.
Used it.
After packing up the animal skins, Chen Ran focused on the other passage in the stone room. According to his previous guess, the weirdo and his comrades arrived here through another route.
They were trapped outside the stone room, and then the weirdo accidentally opened this secret passage and broke into the stone room where they are now.
Now if they can find the route that the weirdo and his comrades entered, they will undoubtedly be able to get out.
While Chen Ran looked over, he also probed for his alchemy energy. In almost an instant, his alchemy energy detected the scene outside.
After detecting the scene outside, Chen Ran finally knew what this place was for.
