Chapter 544: The one who owes you

If the other party didn't have the halo of the protagonist, Wu Xie would not be willing to bring these rookies along. They are useless and can only hold them back.

Yifei took a step forward and patted her chest and said, "Of course, we are the protagonists and we will help you pass the level."

Everyone nodded in unison. How could they miss such an exciting event?

Soon, Wu Xie commanded everyone to open the tomb door, and what came into view was a long tomb passage.

Xiang Yu looked around. They were in a place that looked like a corridor. There seemed to be a tunnel in the front of the corridor. It seemed that this was the place where the first group of people chose to go down the tunnel.

The hole was facing the wall, which should have been covered with beautiful murals. However, perhaps because of the air, the murals have lost their color, but some traces can still be seen.

Wu Xie said to the others seriously, "Tunnels like this usually have mechanisms. Although most of them have become ineffective under the power of time, there are still some mechanisms that can last for thousands of years and are still effective."

"We understand that this is the time to test the waters."

Before everyone could react, Teacher Zeng took out a bowling ball from his bag and threw it out in a very cool posture.

"Don't~"

Wu Xie looked around nervously. Generally speaking, people would carefully test the mechanisms. Mr. Zeng, you are a reckless person. If you accidentally trigger a large mechanism, the ending will not be very good.

Teacher Zeng looked at Wu Xie with a puzzled look.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

Wu Xie couldn't help but complain: "Your hands are just as bad as Fatty's!"

Fatty Wang immediately retorted, "Who said that? When did I ever get impatient? I always go to graves cautiously. Be careful or I'll sue you for defamation."

As he spoke, Fatty Wang slapped the wall with his right hand in annoyance, as if to say, "I'm very angry, come and comfort me."

"Kacha~Kacha~"

Under the fat man's right hand, a brick slowly sank, making a sound of a mechanism turning.

The fat man was stunned on the spot. The slap in the face came too quickly and he was caught off guard.

"There is a mechanism. Back off."

Wu Xie shouted and led everyone to run back. At this moment, the position of the wall changed.

“Kala-la-la-la.”

With the sound of the mechanism operating, rows of rusty iron spears appeared on the wall. Soon the entire corridor was covered with spears. Sections of the wall began to move one by one, moving towards the center.

If you get pricked by this, you won't even have to wait for tetanus to set in, you'll be strangled straight away.

Xiang Yu and the others retreated hastily, but before they could reach the tomb door, Ziqiao's feet slipped and he fell to the ground, trying helplessly to grab the ground with his hands.

At this critical moment, Xiang Yu jumped into the air and grabbed Ziqiao's collar with quick eyes and hands.

From the perspective of Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi, most of Ziqiao's body has fallen down, and the walls on both sides are getting closer and closer. If this continues, Xiang Yu will either be dragged down by Ziqiao or be pierced by the trap. By then, neither of them will survive.

"Rumble..."

The walls on both sides were getting closer and closer. From his position, Ziqiao could clearly see that the iron spears on both sides were less than half a step away from Xiang Yu. If this continued, he would have no choice but to watch Xiang Yu die in front of him.

"Let go, or we'll all die, let go now."

Ziqiao glanced at Xiang Yu and smiled: "Xiang Yu, thank you very much. My life is worth it. If there is a chance in the next life, I will definitely be your brother again."

Ziqiao gritted his teeth and tried to pry Xiang Yu's hands apart with both hands. He couldn't drag everyone down at this time. If he gave up on him, maybe everyone could survive.

Of course Ziqiao wanted to survive, but he didn't want to survive by lying on his brother's body.

At this moment, Xiang Yu gave Ziqiao a cold look and easily pulled Ziqiao out of the pit with one hand. Meijia ignored the iron spears on both sides, rushed over, pulled Ziqiao and ran out, no one knew where she got the strength from.

Xiang Yu pulled out an alloy iron rod from his arms, twisted it in his palm, and round umbrella-shaped brackets extended from both ends.

Xiang Yu placed the iron rod across the two walls that were getting closer and closer. The walls seemed to be stuck and no longer moved closer than before. The others hurried over to Xiang Yu, but the section of the wall where Xiang Yu stood was not large enough to accommodate so many people.

Although the props made by Xiao Hei were made temporarily, the quality is reliable. It’s a pity that the quantity is a bit small.

Fatty Wang and Wu Xie thought it was a good idea, so they followed Xiang Yu's example and pulled out the iron spears from the wall and placed them across the middle of the wall.

Xiang Yu directly drew out the Seven-Star Sword on his back and split the iron spears on the wall to give everyone more space. Ten people were indeed a bit too many.

At this time, Zhang Wei and Wu Yue were squeezed against the back wall because they came in later.

At the same time, starting from the tomb door, large sections of floor tiles began to fall down, and it seemed that there was a quicksand trap under the floor.

"Let's go forward to the location of the stolen hole."

Everyone followed Xiang Yu and kept moving forward. If they could reach the tunnel in the passage ahead, there would still be a glimmer of hope.

At this time, Nuolan discovered that at the end of the corridor, there was a big gate with a line of ancient Chinese characters carved on it. There was a stone statue on each side of the stone gate. The statue on the left was holding a book in his hand, while the statue on the right was pointing to the sky.

In the middle of the stone gate is a large compass.

Now they just need to find a way to break the stone door or leave through the tunnel to be safe. However, the entrance of the tunnel is too small, and ten people may not have enough time to retreat.

Nuolan quickly asked Wu Xie: "What are the ancient characters on the gate?"

While destroying the iron spear, Wu Xie took a moment to look at it and said, "It should be a puzzle to open the door. It's a test left by the tomb owner."

At this point, everyone was in danger, but fortunately, the protagonist's halo puzzle-solving function was automatically activated.

Nuolan pondered for a moment and said, "The mechanism should be on that compass."

Xiang Yu hesitated for a moment. If he tried his best, he could probably blast open the stone door as long as it wasn't too thick. It's better to be safe than sorry. "What are you thinking, Xiang Yu? Hurry up and do it! Can the situation get any worse than this?"

Yifei was getting a little anxious. The iron spears behind her were already rusty and could not hold out for long. They were already making unpleasant creaking sounds. It would not be long before the iron spears broke and everyone would be skewers. They could just put them on the fire and roast them.

Xiang Yu turned around and looked at Yifei and the others anxiously. In fact, what he said was right. The situation was urgent and there was no time to think too much.

Xiang Yu used the force to fly directly to the stone statue. After a little exploration, he found that the book on the left side of the stone gate could be rotated, but how to rotate it? Left or right?

"Three turns clockwise is Yang, six turns counterclockwise is Yin. Turn three times clockwise and six times counterclockwise."

As soon as Wu Xie spoke, Xiang Yu immediately started to rotate in the order of three in the clockwise direction and six in the counterclockwise direction.

As it turned, the sound of a mechanism turning could be vaguely heard. After the rotation, no other mechanism was found to be activated, although the wall was still moving.

"Boom~"

Xiang Yu completed his rotation in just one breath when a roar sounded in the corridor. Suddenly, the entire corridor began to shake, and everyone looked around nervously.

The sound of the mechanism turning continued to ring out.

Yifei, Wu Xie and the others watched as the iron spears on the wall slowly retracted and the ground stopped collapsing.

If it weren't for the iron spears scattered on the ground, it would be impossible to tell how critical the situation was.

After a moment, the stone door slowly descended, revealing a secret passage leading to the interior.

Just as everyone was about to go in, Wu Xie and Fatty Wang raised their hands to stop them.

The two of them walked through the passage carefully, and when nothing happened, they waved for everyone to come over.

"Huh... It's okay. Come over here. Be careful not to touch other mechanisms. This place doesn't look simple."

Xiang Yu looked around and it seemed that this should be the main tomb chamber.

Ziqiao hugged Meijia, and the two of them hugged each other tightly for a long time.

Xiang Yu said softly: "Rest here for a while, don't run around. I'll take a look at the situation."

After Yifei and others rested for a while, Yifei couldn't stand the loneliness anymore and started walking around the tomb.

Wu Xie walked in front and whispered: "Most of the tombs are located in the Great Yin Land. Some things in the tombs are difficult to explain, so we must follow the rules."

After saying that, Wu Xie lit a candle and placed it in the southeast corner of the tomb.

"If you buy it, you have to use it, otherwise it won't be a waste, right?"

Meijia decisively put her torch aside.

Teacher Zeng also perked up and stood behind Fatty Wang, teasing, "Does your face hurt? It seems I'm not the one who's irritated!"

Fatty Wang picked up a skull from the ground with an expressionless face, put it in front of his chest and turned around suddenly.

"Ah~~~"

Teacher Zeng's screams immediately filled the entire tomb.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I got too carried away."

Yifei looked at the several skeletons against the wall in the corner and asked, "What is this?"

Wu Xie looked down and saw pale bones on the ground. He turned around to look at Yi Fei and explained, "It should be the remains of the tomb robber we are looking for. Be careful, there may be a trap."

Xiang Yu looked at the corpse in the corner, half squatted down, and whispered: "This bone feels a little strange?"

"Something's wrong? What's the problem?"

Yifei didn't have much experience. Wu Xie took a look and said seriously, "That's not right. Judging from the hole, it may have only been a few months. But the body has completely turned into bones."

"It means something ate their flesh, and ate it very cleanly."

Xiang Yu picked up a bone with fine teeth marks on it.

At this time, Ziqiao and others on the side also recovered their spirits.

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Who do you think will be the next to trigger the mechanism?"

"Teacher Zeng, I guess."

"I think it's Yifei."

"I think it's Xiang Yu, he's knocking on the wall."

"Hey, what are you guys doing?" At this time, Teacher Zeng finally noticed that the other people were gathered together whispering.

"It's a bet." Wu Yue answered subconsciously.

"Bet, what bet?"

Teacher Zeng looked at them in confusion, and Zhang Wei smiled awkwardly.

"Who will be the next one to get the upper hand?"

"What kind of plane are you doing!"

Teacher Zeng shouted, "We are in an unknown situation right now. We can't predict whether we will live or die in the next second. You are still in the mood to bet. Have your consciences been eaten by dogs? Don't you care about your roommates?"

After that, Mr. Zeng said, "Who's the banker? I bet on Fatty Wang."
