Chapter 228: Enemies from both sides
"but……"

Xu Feng suddenly said: "Stepping on this mechanism may be a good thing."

"Good thing?!"

Everyone looked at Xu Feng in surprise: Is this guy crazy? Is stepping on such a deadly trap a good thing? !
"Master Xu, are you sick and have a fever? Why are you talking nonsense?!"

The fat man said anxiously.

"I'm neither sick nor crazy. Just listen to me first."

Xu Feng was speechless.

These people really have no patience.

"Old Hu, you just said that the Nine-linked Rings array takes a huge amount of time from design to completion, right?"

Lao Hu nodded: "That's right."

Xu Feng continued, "So, with such a precious mechanical array, do you think the designer of this mausoleum would put it in an insignificant place and waste it?!"

Lao Hu was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "You mean, the passage we are taking now is the correct one."

After hearing what Lao Hu said, others also reacted.

But the fat man sang a different tune: "But the traps themselves are used to eliminate tomb robbers. Even if it is a wrong passage, there will be deadly traps, right?!"

"No!"

Old Hu shook his head: "That's not the case. For those dead ends in the corners, we can just design some traps. A powerful trap array like the Nine Sons Link must be used in the right place."

The fat man was somewhat disdainful: "Although the Nine-Child Chain Formation is powerful, I don't think it is that precious. It may not be as reliable as a few monsters. I think for people with our skills, no matter how powerful this mechanism is, it is just so-so. It would be more effective to put a coffin here and make a big zongzi."

Zhang Rishan also joined in at this time: "Fatty, I think what you said is wrong. Although the tomb-guarding beasts and the big zongzi are very powerful, they are uncontrollable. For the ancients, they have both advantages and disadvantages."

"But the mechanism is different. It can be controlled by the designer. It will only hurt the enemy, not yourself!"

Others also joined the discussion.

"What you said makes sense, Fatty, but you overlooked a key point. That is, experts like you are still a minority after all. Most tomb robbers are at our level, so this nine-son chain formation is very effective. If we run into it, we will definitely be dead."

"That's right, and Meng Yi said that he was the one who supervised the construction of this mausoleum, so to some extent, he also had the final say. For people like them who are good at marching and deploying troops, the more important the place, the more heavily guarded it will be. For those unimportant places, they can just arrange some small soldiers and generals."

Xu Feng was standing nearby and saw that their argument was becoming more and more intense, as if it had gone beyond the problem at hand.

He interrupted immediately, "Okay, stop arguing. I said it's just a possibility. I'm not 100% sure. Whether this passage is real or not, let's just walk and see."

Zhang Rishan: "You are right, but I still want to remind you, if this path is correct, then you must be careful when you crack the mechanism later, because if there is a mercury pool underground, we will definitely have to retreat and cannot move forward.

Xu Feng looked at Zhang Rishan in surprise.

"Director Zhang, your reaction speed is also very strong. I didn't think of this. Fortunately, you thought of it, otherwise it would be bad later."

"Xu Feng, if we talk about being smart, you are the one. We all think that stepping on a trap is a bad thing, but you are the only one who thinks of it as a good thing. I have to say that your train of thought is really unique."

"Okay, let's stop flattering each other here."

Xu Feng said, looking at Lao Hu: "Lao Hu, you said that the sixteen-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui secret technique has a detailed explanation of the Nine Sons Linked Ring, so I'll leave this mechanism to you to crack."

Lao Hu took a deep breath and said, "I can only try."

Xu Feng chuckled: "Just try it, it doesn't matter if you fail."

Old Hu nodded, handed the thing in his hand to the fat man, then lay on the ground, gently tapping each floor tile with his fingers, making marks while tapping and slowly moving forward.

In the end, he was lying on the ground with his hands and feet twisted into a knot.

The whole process lasted over an hour.

at last.

As he pressed a tile.

Xu Feng immediately heard a slight clicking sound of gears turning under his feet.

Then Lao Hu said, "I turned off a few mechanisms, including the mercury pool, but the remaining mechanisms have been triggered and are irreversible, so you will have to rely on yourself to avoid them later." "Okay!"

Xu Feng nodded: "Once the mercury pool is solved, there will be no problem. Leave the rest to me."

Old Hu jumped left and right like a child playing hopscotch, jumped back to Fatty and the others, and then signaled everyone to retreat: "Wait until Master Xu breaks the mechanism, then we can continue to move forward."

Everyone quickly retreated.

Xu Feng waited until they retreated to a safe place, then took a deep breath and leapt lightly.

The moment his feet left the floor tile, a crackling sound was heard in the passage, and then a drastic change took place in the passage.

I saw that all the floor tiles in the passage, except those marked by Lao Hu, fell down with a crash.

Then rows of sinister swords emerged from the ground.

These big knives were grouped together into groups of five or six, with the tips of the blades all pointing upwards. They were spinning rapidly like a meat grinder, rising continuously and stabbing towards the soles of Xu Feng's feet.

What is surprising is that no one knows how these swords have been preserved. After more than two thousand years of corrosion, they are still shining brightly without any trace of rust.

If this gets stuck, I'm afraid it will be minced into pieces immediately!

Xu Feng acted decisively, took out the bone knife, swung it towards his feet, and instantly cut all the big knives off.

But soon.

There were rolling swords stabbing out from all directions of the passage.

In an instant, Xu Feng, who was still in mid-air, was attacked from both sides.

soon.

There were rolling swords stabbing out from all directions of the passage.

In an instant, Xu Feng, who was still in the air, had sharp knives spinning in front, behind, left and right, and he looked extremely dangerous.

Xu Feng twisted his waist forcefully, and the bone knife swung out with a flash of light.

Ding ding bells!

All the rotating knives were cut off and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

However, the next second.

Those rolling knives seemed to never stop. As soon as one row finished spinning, another row would pop up, as if they would not stop until Xu Feng was minced into meat scraps.

Xu Feng's remaining strength was gone and he fell to the ground.

Until it landed on a marked tile.

Then he spun on the spot.

He swung the bone knife in his hand vigorously, cutting off all the rolling knife formations.

Click.

The rolling knives finally stopped spinning.

But before Xu Feng could catch his breath.

Many small flat holes suddenly appeared on the walls on both sides of the passage.

next second.

Countless sharp blades flew out from the small hole.

When Xu Feng saw these sharp blades, his eyes instantly focused.

These blades are flat, like two crescent-shaped blades spliced ​​together, a bit like a boomerang.
