Chapter 241 Elevator
Chapter 241 Elevator
"Oh no! They're speeding up!"
Old Hu shouted loudly.
As if in response to Lao Hu's words, the leading Black Evil Cavalry raised the bronze spear in his hand and let out a terrifying roar.
Then the speed of the Black Evil Cavalry began to increase.
"We can't let them rush up, otherwise we won't be able to withstand their powerful impact. Then we won't have to fight, just one charge will wipe us out!"
Zhang Rishan said loudly.
Zhang Qiling rushed forward: "I'll stop them, you guys quickly find a way out!"
The fat man also rushed up: "I'll go too!"
Any animal needs a process of acceleration when running before it can reach its maximum speed. If these cavalrymen were to run at the same speed, that speed would be comparable to that of a large truck running at full speed.
So Zhang Qiling’s idea was to interrupt their acceleration before they could get up to speed.
Fortunately, this passage can accommodate four or five Black Evils side by side, but can only accommodate two cavalrymen side by side.
In other words, they only need to block the two leading black evil spirits to curb the acceleration behind them.
Zhang Qiling rushed towards the Black Evil Cavalry, then jumped high and swung the Black Kirin at one of them.
The fat man followed closely behind and slashed at the other one.
when!when!
Two loud noises.
Hiss hiss hiss!
The two zombie horses raised their front hooves high, stopping their charge.
Then Zhang Qiling and the fat man flew back like cannonballs, fell to the ground, and rolled more than ten times.
Zhang Qiling quickly got up.
But his face looked very ugly, as if he had suffered a loss.
The fat man spat out a mouthful of blood in the air with a "puff".
He struggled on the ground for a long time but couldn't sit up.
"Fatty, are you okay?!"
Xu Feng asked anxiously.
The fat man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and waved his hand: "I'm fine, don't worry about me, just find a way out!"
Xu Feng gritted his teeth.
Continue to look at the surrounding walls.
He also fully released his spiritual sense to detect the situation behind the stone wall.
"Ok?"
Xu Feng raised his head in confusion and looked upwards.
If there was nothing wrong with his spiritual sense, he would have seen that there was a secret passage behind the ceiling above his head. Inside the secret passage were iron chains and pulleys, and even something similar to an elevator.
"The exit is in the ceiling?!"
Xu Feng was a little shocked.
To be honest, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have thought that the way out was above his head.
He stepped on the wall, jumped up, and easily inserted the bone knife in his hand into the ceiling.
Then he grabbed the handle of the knife with his left hand to gain leverage and pressed his whole body against the ceiling. Then he made a fist with his right hand and punched the ceiling violently.
There was a roar!
Gravel splashes!
The stone brick was cracked directly by the hammer.
Xu Feng didn't stop and continued to hammer it.
Before long, several spider-web-like cracks appeared on the stone brick, and those cracks expanded rapidly, breaking into pieces.
Sudden.
The ceiling tile collapsed directly, revealing a large black hole.
Xu Feng looked inside.
really.
The situation in the cave was exactly the same as what he detected with his spiritual sense.
There is a secret passage inside with iron chains and pulleys, and then there is an iron cage with pulleys and mechanisms on it, similar to a power device. The overall look is like an extremely simple elevator.
Looking up, it was pitch black and I couldn't tell how deep the tunnel was.
"Hurry, come up quickly!" Xu Feng looked at the secret passage in the cave for a moment, and after confirming that it was safe, he shouted to the people below.
"Holy shit! What the hell is this? The exit is on the ceiling of the tomb passage?!"
The fat man was almost dumbfounded. He turned around and asked Lao Hu: "Lao Hu, you know a lot. Have you ever seen a design where the exit of the secret passage is set on the ceiling of the tomb?"
Old Hu was also dumbfounded and shook his head blankly.
"The traditional tomb passages all go downwards, not upwards."
"And generally speaking, the ceiling of the tomb passage is used to design mechanical traps, such as quicksand, skyfire glazed ceiling and other vicious traps."
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have thought that the exit would be above my head!"
"This design completely subverts the traditional concept of ancient tomb design. Even the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Art does not have a similar record."
Old Hu looked at Zhang Rishan and said, "Director Zhang, you are well-informed. Have you heard of this design?"
pity.
Even the experienced Zhang Rishan was dumbfounded and shook his head when he looked at the big hole.
But they were not allowed to express their feelings at this time.
They jumped onto the big hole one after another.
Xu Feng was waiting for them upstairs.
Soon, they entered the cave one after another.
When Zhang Qiling, who was at the rear, entered the cave, all the Black Evil Cavalrymen immediately gathered under the cave, looking up at Xu Feng and the others with ferocious looks.
It's just strange that they can jump up with their abilities.
But they just watched motionlessly.
There was no intention of entering the cave.
Seeing that they didn't move, Fatty and the others breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, they also began to have time to observe this secret passage. "Nimma, isn't this an elevator?!"
The fat man looked around for a few seconds, and finally his eyes fell on the iron cage. He couldn't help but exclaimed.
The others also looked at the iron cage in the secret passage in shock.
"Oh my god! There's actually an elevator in the Qin Dynasty tomb?!"
"Is my vision blurry?!"
"Looking at this design, it should be used to transport construction materials. I never thought that such advanced technology had been developed thousands of years ago."
"After all, Qin Shi Huang was an emperor who would go down in history. The Qin Dynasty he ruled represented the highest level of civilization in the world at that time, so it's not surprising that something outrageous appeared in his tomb."
"That's right. I've seen so many strange things, even a real dragon. I won't be surprised no matter what extraordinary things appear in the future."
"I'm just curious, what kind of power does it use to operate? It can't be electricity, right?!"
Xu Feng observed the iron cage carefully.
After a while.
He walked into the iron cage, grabbed an iron rod about 20 centimeters long at the corner, and pulled it hard.
click.
A slight noise.
Then the entire iron cage shook, as if a machine that had not been started for many years suddenly started up and the machine jammed due to rust on parts or poor circuit contact.
Then the cage began to vibrate.
Countless pieces of rust and dust fell from the iron cage like rain.
Xu Feng quickly jumped out of the iron cage.
The others also dodged, and then looked at the iron cage that was shaking more and more violently in panic.
"Oh my god! It really moves?!"
"But this iron cage...it won't collapse this place, right?!" The fat man exclaimed as he looked at the Andao that was shaking slightly because of the iron cage.
"fine!"
Xu Feng said: "It should be powered by the same power as this rotating maze."
"It has been able to keep functioning for more than 2,000 years, which means its parts are not made of wood, let alone ordinary iron. I suspect it may be made of metal such as meteorite."
"But even so, after so many years of not being used, there must be signs of stagnation or rust between the mechanical parts."
"So, give it some time, I think it should be fine."
