When Xiao Lou saw this scene, his whole body suddenly stiffened. Fortunately, Yu Hanjiang reacted in time, otherwise, his neck might have been tightly entangled with those tongues and he would have suffocated to death.
The tongues hanging on the left and right walls were obviously taken from the evil spirits who were punished in the "Tongue Pulling Hell". Xiao Lou initially thought that these were just horrific scenes deliberately arranged by the gatekeepers to scare them.
Unexpectedly, the gatekeepers went so far as to use these tongues as weapons to attack them.
He still doesn't know how the mechanism was triggered.
Tang Ci let two little ants explore the way and walked into the room. There was nothing abnormal when the little ants touched the floor tiles. Obviously, this was not a mechanism triggered by stepping on the floor. But once they walked in, the tongues on the wall suddenly
A fierce offensive began
Perhaps, this secret room is controlled by voice and their footsteps trigger the mechanism.
Since none of the six people could speak, the entire secret room was extremely quiet, and the footsteps were indeed very clear. The Tongue Pulling Hell was silent, so it was indeed a more reasonable guess to rely on sound induction to control the mechanism.
Before Xiao Lou had time to think about it, Yu Hanjiang's waist suddenly turned in the air, flying him diagonally to the wall. He took out a sharp saber in his hand, aimed at the tongues flying around on the wall, and slashed them hard.
The man's eyes were deep and full of anger, and his actions were as swift and swift as possible.
Although the visual effect of the tongues all over the room was quite scary and disgusting, when Yu Hanjiang saw these things, his mood did not fluctuate. In the blink of an eye, half of the tongues on the wall were cut off by him.
Along with his chopping, the tongue on the wall suddenly stretched several times as if it was irritated.
Yu Hanjiang killed gods when he met gods, and Buddha when he met Buddha. He used Liu Qiao's Qinggong card to float in the air, and used the tongues on his toes as landing points. His left hand held Xiao Lou's waist tightly, and the saber in his right hand danced around him.
The sharp halo of light was protected by him, and there were bursts of sword light in the air. Countless tongues were cut off by him. For a moment, no tongue could get close to him.
Although no one can speak, Yu Hanjiang is using actions to tell his teammates that he is clearing the way for everyone.
The tongues cut off by him fell like heavy snow in the room, and the bloody scene made people want to vomit. But after experiencing so many secret room exercises, everyone's psychological quality has been qualitatively improved, let alone a few grown men.
I was embarrassed to vomit, but Liu Qiao also restrained himself from vomiting.
Lu Jiuchuan waved forward and made a "go quickly" gesture.
Immediately afterwards, he lowered his head and glanced at Tang Ci on his chest. Worried that he might accidentally drop Tang Ci while moving quickly, he gently stuffed Tang Ci into his pocket with his fingers.
Tang Ci was stuffed entirely into his pocket, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
He wanted to climb out, but now that he encountered the Hell Machine Formation, Ninth Brother would definitely be distracted by taking care of him. If he accidentally fell down and was trampled to death by his teammates, it would be too unfair, so don't cause trouble.
Tang Ci thought for a while and decided to stay quietly in Brother Jiu's pocket.
The next moment, Lu Jiuchuan jumped up suddenly, and Tang Ci felt like he was riding a roller coaster, being shaken so dizzy.
Lu Jiuchuan kicked away the tongue that attacked him, and then took out a weapon card.
Most of his cards are summoned beasts, but he also drew an S-level weapon called the Ice Sword. This sword is slender and sharp, with a thin blade and a light blue spike.
Together with the matching scabbard, the shape is very similar to the sharp sword in martial arts. However, the moment the sword is drawn out, a strong cold air wraps around the sword body, as if the entire sword is made of ice and snow.
This sword also comes with a small-scale freezing function.
Yu Hanjiang opened the way in front with his saber, and Lu Jiuchuan followed closely behind him with his ice sword.
Before those tongues could come into contact with their bodies, they were either cut off mercilessly by Yu Hanjiang, or were frozen by Lu Jiuchuan's sword sweep. The two brothers quickly dealt with the surrounding tongues. Lao Mo and Liu Qiao were not fools either.
, followed immediately.
The length of this passage with "walls covered with tongues" was unknown. Yu Hanjiang and Lu Jiuchuan ran forward quickly while fighting with the flexible tongue array. With Lu Jiuchuan's ice sword, the tongues along the way were frozen.
The corridor almost turned into an ice cellar.
The frozen tongues look a lot like stalactites in a cave.
Five minutes later, the six people successfully passed the tongue formation and came to an open space.
Xiao Lou breathed a sigh of relief. Both Yu Hanjiang and Lu Jiuchuan reacted very quickly and had first-class fighting skills. With the cooperation of these two brothers, the first level of tongue-pulling hell did not pose much of a threat to them.
What he was worried about was that since they were going to hell, would they encounter other hells next?
Xiao Lou said, "The tongue-pulling hell has passed, I should be able to speak now."
Everyone heard his voice.
Lu Jiuchuan couldn't help but curse, "Fuck, those tongues are really disgusting. Tongue pulling hell, just use your tongue as a mechanism. This little square loli looks so cute, but she's so perverted on the inside."
Tang Ci picked up the edge of his pocket and poked his head out, and said calmly, "You'd better not scold the gatekeeper in the secret room, lest she hears it and deliberately makes it more difficult for us."
Lu Jiuchuan smiled, "Did I scold her? I just praised her for being super cute. I have never seen such a cute little loli. The cake dress she was wearing was just like a white and beautiful doll."
everyone ""
Brother Jiu's desire to survive is also very strong, but he doesn't know if the gatekeeper can hear him.
After regaining his ability to speak, Xiao Lou looked at the blood all over Yu Hanjiang's body and quickly grabbed his hand worriedly, "Are you okay? There's so much blood on your body."
Concerned, Yu Hanjiang raised the corners of his lips and whispered, "It's okay. I just broke those things and splashed them. This maze is full of weirdness. The tongue-pulling hell just now, do you think it was an illusion?"
Xiao Lou couldn't explain it clearly either.
Such strange mechanisms would not appear in normal ancient tombs. But this time, the ancient tomb maze was a world layout arranged by the gatekeepers, so it was not unusual for anything to appear. He took a deep breath and looked at the dark place ahead.
Passage "Whether it's an illusion or not, there may be seventeen levels of hell waiting for us next, so everyone should be careful."
Although Liu Qiao had just emerged from the disgusting tongue formation, her face was still calm and she asked, "Does Professor Xiao know the order of the eighteen levels of hell? What should the next level be?"
Xiao Lou said, "Scissors hell."
Everyone was silent for a moment, and Yu Hanjiang waved, "Let's go."
Only then did he realize that he had been holding Xiao Lou's waist, and the two of them were very close to each other. In desperation, he hugged Xiao Lou to hide from the tongue formation, but he forgot to let go after the tongue formation came out. His teammates must have
Everyone saw it, but no one said much.
Yu Hanjiang calmly retracted his hand and pretended that nothing happened, but Xiao Lou's ears felt slightly hot.
Everyone continued to walk forward. In front of them was a set of stairs going down. Fortunately, the steps were not long. Everyone only walked a dozen steps before arriving at a wide rectangular passage.
According to the regional punishment rules, those who sow discord, slander and harm others will be sent to the tongue-pulling hell after death, and their tongues will be pulled out by imps; while those who are sent to the scissors hell will have ten of their fingers cut off.
It is said that the pain of having one finger cut off is a torture that ordinary people cannot bear.
Xiao Lou looked at the dense formation of scissors in front of him, his expression a bit ugly.
These scissors are not the small scissors commonly used at home, but giant scissors that are 1 meter wide and 15 meters long. Not to mention cutting off fingers, the shining snow-white blades can be opened and closed.
It can even cut a person in half.
What's even more outrageous is that scissors are scattered throughout the space.
It is impossible to fly over the feet, legs, waist, and top of the head using Qinggong, and it is impossible to crawl over from the ground. Moreover, the scissors open and close very fast, and there is a constant "click-click" sound in the ears.
If you accidentally come into contact with a sharp blade, you might get a leg, an arm, or even your head cut off.
Lu Jiuchuan resisted the urge to scold the gatekeeper and said in a deep voice, "My ice sword can only freeze people and animals. These scissors are made of iron and cannot be frozen. How can I get through?"
Climbing, jumping, and running will not work, and controls such as freeze, confusion, immobilization, and coma are all for living creatures. Scissors are mechanisms and tools and will not be affected by card control skills.
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other. At this moment, Liu Qiao suddenly said, "I can get smaller and walk over to have a look."
Her Thumbelina has two skills, the first is to make herself smaller, and the second is to make others smaller.
The lowest height of the scissors in the front array is about 10 meters from the ground. After Liu Qiao transforms, her height will shrink to only 5 meters, so she can walk directly over.
Xiao Lou looked at Liu Qiao and warned, "Be careful."
Liu Qiao nodded, decisively reduced himself to the size of a thumb, and slowly walked past the scissors array.
She didn't simply walk over. As she walked, she would also stop, raise her head, and carefully observe the pattern of the scissors formation.
Soon, Liu Qiao discovered that there were ten scissors distributed in the air every meter he walked. Although the distribution was messy and the scissors moved back and forth, the ten scissors were linked when opening and closing. In other words, this row
The scissors will open and close according to certain rules. If you pass through this row when the scissors are closed, you will not be afraid of being stabbed by the sharp blade.
The second row follows another rule; the third row
After walking through eighteen rows in a row, Liu Qiao finally left the scissors formation and saw an open space in front of him.
She immediately said to Xiao Lou, "Professor Xiao, the scissor formation has a total of 18 rows of scissors. Each row of scissors has its own opening and closing pattern. The fastest frequency is about 1 second, and the slower frequency is about 3 to 4 seconds. There is no
More than 4 seconds. If everyone reacts quickly enough, they can block the gap where the scissors are closed and fly over. As long as the scissors are closed, they will have no lethality."
Liu Qiao's method is actually quite dangerous.
For example, if the scissors in the first row were closed and they broke into the scissors formation, as soon as they reached the second row, the scissors in this row opened and then closed, wouldn't that cut everyone's body in half?
However, no one can think of a better way besides this.
The scissors are so densely packed that Qinggong cannot be used, and they are not affected by control skills, so we can only force our way through.
Xiao Lou carefully observed the changes in the scissors array. Although there were too many scissors and the sharp blades were constantly opening and closing, it would put a huge psychological pressure on people. But in the final analysis, it was just like the mechanism passage in the game.
It will always leave a way for players to survive, it depends on whether you can grasp it.
There are two ways to pass this dense machine array.
The first is to look for the right moment, dodge all the scissors, and pass through the machine formation in one breath; the second is to take one step, stop one step, and pass slowly row by row. Since there are more of them now, they can rush into the formation at once.
It is easy to make mistakes, so it would be safer to pass in rows. Thinking of this, Xiao Lou said to Liu Qiao, "Xiao Liu, please come back and take care of everyone."
Their vision could not clearly see the movements of the entire scissors formation, but Liu Qiao passed the formation once after becoming smaller, so he was naturally more familiar with the changes in the formation than they were.
Liu Qiao, the top 5 Qinggong master, flew back and said, "I'll lead the way."
After saying that, she re-entered the scissors formation. Xiao Lou stood side by side with his teammates, ready to sprint at any time. The moment the shrunken Liu Qiao saw the scissors merge, he said, "Let's go, three rows in a row."
The four people quickly walked forward three rows. Sure enough, the scissors in these three rows were merged at this time and had no lethality.
But the scissors in the fourth row are open, and they are still floating back and forth. If I take an extra step and get caught by one of the scissors, the scissors will be cut in half the moment they close.
The sharp blades on the inside of the scissors are frightening.
Liu Qiao raised his head and observed the scissor array carefully. The scissors in the back rows opened and closed at different frequencies. The fourth row opened and closed once every 2 seconds; the fifth row, once every 3 seconds; and the sixth row, once every 4 seconds.
The seventh row is once every second.
According to mathematical principles, a least common multiple can be found.
In other words, every 12 seconds, these four rows of scissors will enter the closed state for a short period of time.
Liu Qiao counted 12 seconds silently in his heart and said, "Go to the seventh row."
Xiao Lou also saw Liu Qiao's calculation logic, and couldn't help but admire Xiao Liu a little more. The key to this scissors formation is actually to see clearly the opening and closing rhythm and rules of each row of scissors from a god's perspective, and then find
The "least common multiple" that matches the sprint rhythm is the time point when several rows enter the closed state at the same time. This is the time point.
Under the guidance of Liu Qiao, everyone passed the scissors formation without any danger.
Lu Jiuchuan looked back at the rows of shining scissors that kept clicking, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Liu Qiao, who was about the size of his thumb on the ground, and said with a smile, "The little girl is pretty good, she's quite courageous."
Liu Qiao was not modest and explained calmly, "I'm a science major. When I was smaller and walked through the scissors array just now, I discovered some patterns." She raised her head and looked in the direction of Mo Xuemin, "Uncle Mo, can you take me with you?"
Let me tell you, the Thumbelina card has a cooling time limit. Once I change back, I can't get smaller again. If I need to shrink the mechanism later, I can help."
Of course Lao Mo had no problem with it, he leaned over, grabbed the little girl, and put her into his pocket.
The six-man team became a team of 42. Tang Ci was sitting in Lu Jiuchuan's pocket, and Liu Qiao was lying in Lao Mo's pocket. Everyone only rested for a moment before continuing to walk towards the next level.
Chapter 380, Iron Tree Hell
They walked down a flight of stairs and soon saw the third level of Iron Tree Hell.
I saw an iron tree standing in the center of the tomb, which was as empty as a basketball court. Every branch and leaf on the tree was like a sharp knife. Many corpses had the iron tree piercing through the skin and flesh of their backs.
Hanging on a tree, it was turned into a human body by the wind.
There were corpses hanging all over the tree, including a large number of female corpses dressed in white, with their black hair hanging down, which looked particularly eye-catching.
Xiao Lou stopped, wondering what the mechanism of this Iron Tree Hell would be.
It's better not to hang them up, right?
Tang Ci released his mechanical ant to explore the path. As a result, as soon as the ant took two steps forward, the iron tree seemed to have spirituality. It suddenly stretched out a long iron chain and rattan and rolled up the two ants.
, hung directly upside down on the tree
The ants are made of metal and are instantly reduced to mud by the sharp branches and leaves.
Xiao Lou ""
I really want to hang them on the tree
Tang Ci ""
What a pity for his ants. Fortunately, this card can summon a large number of mechanical ants, so the death of only two will not have much impact.
Lu Jiuchuan once again cursed the square gatekeeper as a pervert in his heart, and then looked at Yu Hanjiang, "With your skills, can you escape?"
"It should be possible. My saber cuts iron like mud. These vines are made of iron. I can cut them directly with my saber. But it is still too dangerous and I can't take you there." Yu Hanjiang's face was extremely serious. "This
Is it a treadmill sensor? If we don’t touch the floor, can it sense where we are and hang us upside down on a tree with rattan?”
"I'll try." Tang Ci had a lot of mechanical cards in his hand. In addition to the mechanical ants used for pathfinding and reconnaissance, the mechanical spiders used for attack, there was also a phalanx of aerial mechanical drones.
His drone phalanx can carry out large-scale bombings in designated areas, and can also be used as stealth reconnaissance aircraft or small transport equipment. It has very comprehensive functions.
Tang Ci only sent out two drones and flew into the sky.
If there is a stepping mechanism on the ground, as long as you step on the floor iron tree, it will automatically sense the position, sweep the target and hang it on the tree. Then, as long as you don't step on the floor, it will be fine.
But it turned out that they were too optimistic.
The drone flying in the air just entered the area of the iron tree, and was swept over by an iron rope-like vine, instantly smashing it into a pile of fragments.
Tang Ci was helpless, "It doesn't work. This is a 360-degree sensing mechanism with no blind spots."
It is simply more exaggerated than modern high-tech intelligence.
So, why does such a weird mechanism appear in the tombs of ancient people?
Xiao Lou couldn't help but want to complain about the gatekeeper. He rubbed his temples, took a deep breath and quickly calmed down. He looked up at this strange tree. The iron tree in front of him was full of corpses. If he was accidentally caught by the iron chain,
If they leave, they will also become one of the corpses hanging above.
Moreover, this iron tree is extremely strong and it is impossible to destroy the entire tree artificially.
Although Yu Hanjiang's saber is said to cut iron like mud and can cut through the iron ropes flying over everyone, it can't cut off an iron tree with a diameter of more than 5 meters. What's more, no one knows how many iron trees will be thrown out at once.
The iron rope swept across them. It was still too dangerous to break through directly.
Xiao Lou thought about it carefully and said, "Since this is a sensor mechanism, it is nothing more than a few press sensors. When we step on the floor, Tieshu can immediately find our position; sound wave sensors, footsteps, breathing, as long as we make a sound, Tieshu's
The chain can also lock the position accurately; and then there is visual sensing. Assuming that the leaves of this tree have eyes, then wherever we go it can immediately tie us back to the tree and use a sharp knife to form a sieve."
The teammates turned back and looked at the largest tree they had ever seen in their lives.
The rusty trees were covered with corpses. Those rusty irons might have been caused by the oxidation caused by blood flowing on them. Most of the corpses hanging on the trees, in addition to mummies that had been dead for a long time, also had a
It seems that he died not long ago.
As a forensic doctor, Xiao Lou is very sensitive to the time of death. He found that a female corpse was hanging at the highest point of the iron tree. She was wearing a neat black short-sleeved shirt and jeans, with a ponytail tied behind her head. She was hung upside down on the tree, with a
The sharp branch directly pierced her chest. The expression on her face was full of horror. The body had not yet decomposed, and there were no obvious body spots.
Xiao Lou felt a chill in his heart, "Look, the female corpse at the top should have died within half an hour."
Lu Jiuchuan was obviously stunned. Everyone was struggling with how to pass the mechanism on this level. Professor Xiao was lucky enough to actually study the death time of the corpse hanging upside down on the iron tree. Is this the Diamond Chamber of Secrets being used as the Hearts Chamber of Secrets?
However, after carefully considering Xiao Lou's words, Lu Jiuchuan immediately came back to his senses, "The time of death is within half an hour. You mean, this person just entered the maze not long ago."
Xiao Lou looked solemn, "Probably a hunter."
everyone ""
In this World Weekly, the gatekeepers have already said that all teams will enter the parallel secret room independently, and all players will participate in the scoring and ranking, and the number of eliminations will be determined according to the principle of elimination at the end.
In other words, their team and other challenger teams will not meet in a maze.
And on this iron tree, 99's corpses were all dressed in white, with long hair hanging down, and pale faces, like hanged ghosts.
These should be the evil spirits who have been punished in Iron Tree Hell.
But the corpse hanging on the top was completely different from the other corpses in terms of clothing, appearance, and death state. And more importantly, her skin was not that pale, and the places where it was pierced by sharp branches were even there.
bleed.
She is human.
The only people who can enter this maze are hunters.
A chill ran down Lu Jiuchuan's spine; "My crow's mouth was really right about the hunter-killer organization. They actually tracked the maze where we are. However, the location where they entered is probably different from ours, so this woman died."
In the Iron Tree Hell"
Xiao Lou nodded and looked up at the female corpse. He didn't know whether to feel uncomfortable or thankful. He was silent for a moment and then said, "We found the corpse of the hunter in Iron Tree Hell, which at least proves something."
He looked at Yu Hanjiang and said seriously, "In the confrontation between hunters and challengers, the four gatekeepers should maintain a neutral attitude. When hunters enter the maze, they must solve puzzles like us and pass the traps.
The little Lolita didn't let her go."
Yu Hanjiang nodded, "Well, they wanted to kill us in the Diamond Labyrinth, but they were killed by Diamond's trap. However, the hunters who came to track Brother Nine should not be weak, and they were actually killed by Tieshu here.
Stabbing us to death and forcing our way through is obviously not going to work."
Why don't we just turn back and find another way?
But if we look back, all our previous efforts will be in vain, and everyone is unwilling to do so.
While hesitating, Xiao Lou suddenly said, "I have an idea, I might try it."
Everyone saw him take out a card and looked at the iron tree calmly. "This iron tree should be an intelligent mechanism with visual, sound wave and pressure sensing. As long as it enters its sensing range, not a single mosquito can fly away. So, we
It must be completely imperceptible."
Teammates’ eyes lit up
The card Xiao Lou took out was the Invisibility Cloak.
