He arranged this series of actions just to prevent the two of them from escaping. At first, he probably just wanted to lock the two of them underground, but unexpectedly, Ye Suling still remembered the secret passages used in the field archeology, so
The two of them walked onto the ground smoothly.
So the last time, Yuan Qiushi simply closed the passage, and took the opportunity to move his hands and feet, made some preparations, and then put it down, thus inducing Zhang Ke to be repeatedly stimulated by the smoke and poisonous gas when he climbed the stairs.
Toxicity, thereby gradually losing mobility.
The only thing that cannot be explained is that when the two successfully landed on the ground for the first time, that is, when they found that there was no one in the entire city, why Yuan Qiushi just watched them leave without stepping forward to stop them? But this may also be the case.
Because the actions of the two people were beyond his expectation and he was not prepared in advance, so he did not take action out of caution.
"Since he tried so hard to keep us in the underground ruins, we have to go out and let him see it." Zhang Ke looked up at the towering stairs, squeezed out a smile from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Thank you for your reasoning.
Considering the reason for my injury, I have a new idea."
"What's the idea?" Ye Suling asked.
"Don't worry, if I say it now, he will definitely overhear it in a corner, and it will be useless." Zhang Ke turned around and walked up the steps, leaving a message for Ye Suling.
, "Although it is true that he has an overwhelming advantage now, my comeback point lies in you."
"Me? Wait a minute..."
Ye Suling still wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Zhang Ke opened his legs and walked up the stairs without hesitation. In a blink of an eye, he passed the thirteenth step. A poisonous needle came flying as expected. Zhang Ke didn't wait until it came.
It would hit the bronze plate, so I didn't even turn my head or look at it. Instead, I stared straight ahead.
At this moment, he discovered that he had ignored a detail that happened before his eyes, that is, there was not only one poisonous needle shot out with the sound of breaking through the air, but two poisonous needles.
One of them happened to hit his calf, while the other one passed by his eyes and shot directly to a place far above the stairs, at least twenty steps away from him.
A moment later, blue-purple smoke suddenly rose and swirled from near the steps, as if activated by the needle——
So that's it... Zhang Ke secretly recorded this detail in his mind, and he further confirmed his suspicion.
——The person who fired the poisonous needles was probably not Yuan Qiushi himself, but the automatic mechanism he had buried here long ago. Once someone steps on this step, the opportunity will automatically shoot out two needles. One can activate the poison in the body, and the other
The roots fly directly to high places and pierce some kind of trap used to hold the purple smoke.
All such speculations depend on two details - the first is that he has obviously repeated several reincarnations and not a single poisonous needle can hit him, but Yuan Qiushi refuses to change his attack method, even if he makes a slight adjustment.
Sneak attack angle, but let the poisonous needle hit the bronze plate and be bounced away.
This means that when he walked up the steps, Yuan Qiushi was no longer next to the device that fired the poisonous needle. Of course, the automatic firing mechanism cannot have reincarnation memory, so how it was originally triggered is still exactly the same now.
The second detail is that in the previous reincarnations, Zhang Ke has been paying attention to the gas properties of the blue-purple smoke - he has confirmed it up close several times. Under the sunlight, these gases quickly evaporate.
It will be diluted and dissipated. Zhang Ke thinks it is because the smoke is chemically unstable and easily decomposed by light.
This shows that the smoke and dust are not always permeating the area, but are stored in some kind of light-proof container, which is temporarily opened through some mechanism, and will dissipate soon.
It wasn't until he saw another poisonous needle flying past in front of him, causing smoke in the distance, that Zhang Ke further confirmed this conjecture - obviously neither the poisonous needle launching device nor the container storing the poisonous gas was manually controlled by Yuan Qiushi
, but was pre-installed in this place.
These two mechanisms are activated in a chain. The first poisonous needle is used to attack, and the second poisonous needle is used to pierce the container, allowing the easily decomposed poisonous gas to escape. The time they can last is slightly longer than that of a person.
The length of time it takes to walk twenty steps.
In this case, Yuan Qiushi does not need to control these two devices personally, so where is he himself?
This answer must be explored in this reincarnation. Although Zhang Ke already has a vague guess in his heart, he still needs the evidence of a stone hammer.
So, he continued to walk upstairs without hesitation.
Seeing that he was about to pass through the pervasive poisonous gas, he covered all the exposed skin of his upper body with his clothes and rushed forward.
Of course, the cost of doing this is that you can't see clearly what's ahead, but that doesn't matter, Ye Suling will be your eyes.
Bang——
Suddenly, Zhang Ke felt as if he had been punched in the chest, and a mouthful of blood choked his throat. At the same time, the clothes covering his head were torn open, and a large cloud of blue-purple smoke was forced in.
This time, the concentration of the poisonous gas was extremely high, and it was completely sprayed in his face. Therefore, Zhang Ke lost consciousness and consciousness almost instantly, and his vision immediately fell into darkness. Until the end, he could not see clearly what it was.
Something launched an attack, or Ye Suling heard the prompt.
But that doesn’t matter anymore, it’s almost certain——
Sanity was restored again, and the world was restarted to the point where the reincarnation death battle began.
"As expected, my legs have become heavier again, and they are almost reaching their limit."
While Zhang Ke was panting, he told the information about the previous reincarnation to Ye Suling, who was still a little dazed next to him. Then he was about to continue walking forward, but left a message to Ye Suling behind him:
"Don't worry about me, and don't follow my instructions. When the time comes, just follow your instinct."
"What does this mean?" Ye Suling still wanted an explanation, but saw Zhang Ke walking up without stopping.
A poisonous needle flew out and was deflected, causing one to pierce the air bag and causing blue-purple smoke to fill the steps.
But this time, the moment Zhang Ke rushed into the smoke, Ye Suling was suddenly stunned, her eyes became a little hollow, and words about what was about to happen in the future suddenly flashed in her mind, and then almost subconsciously, she suddenly raised her hand and walked out of the torture chamber.
He drew the bronze blade and threw it at Zhang Ke with all his strength.
No, it was not aimed at Zhang Ke himself, but happened to pass by the top of his head, stabbing with great accuracy the man who suddenly appeared from the end of the stairs, holding a long-handled hammer, and was about to hit Zhang Ke to death.
