Chapter 279 The mechanism of narrow escape
Taotie said nothing, staring at the stone bricks under Tom's feet, observing carefully for a while, and then looked at several adjacent stone bricks around him, his brows furrowed into a frown. Character.
Raising his head and looking around, the top of his head, the stone walls on both sides, including the tomb passage in front, Taotie's brows were almost twisted into knots.
"Your Highness, the situation is not optimistic."
Taotie turned to Fang Xiaocao and said.
"What's going on? Please tell me."
Fang Xiaocao asked in a deep voice with an anxious look on his face.
Fang Xiaocao was almost anxious.
Before Taotie was silent, she did not dare to disturb Taotie for fear of affecting Taotie's judgment. Now that Taotie spoke, Fang Xiaocao wanted to ask questions all at once.
“I just followed the instructions of the old tomb robber and took a closer look at this mechanism. It is neither a hidden arrow nor a rolling stone. These common mechanisms to prevent tomb robbers. According to my observation, the stone bricks around Tom’s feet seem to They are all alive. I suspect this is a trap.”
Taotie's expression was serious and his voice was extremely low.
“What is a trap?”
Fang Xiaocao asked if he didn’t understand.
"The pit trap, as the name suggests, is that there is a big pit in the void below the mechanism. Once the mechanism is triggered, it will cause the tomb floor tiles where the mechanism is located to collapse in a large area, causing the person who triggered the mechanism to fall. Falling into a pit.”
“And pits and pits are different, some are for trapping people, and some are for killing people.”
"The traps that trap people range from several meters high. If a person falls, there is a high probability that he will not be injured. Even if he is injured, it will not be fatal. If there are teammates who have not fallen, or there are two or three people who are skilled enough to get through, they can Climb up.”
“This kind of trap. , mainly serves as a warning, expressing that since I can trap you, I can kill people. The trap next time will not be so simple, it will be fatal. An and the ancients used the method of courtesy first and then attack, so that the tomb robbers will retreat before they know the difficulties. ”
Having said this, Taotie paused.
He glanced at Fang Xiaocao and then said: "The second kind of murder trap is to kill people directly. Once a person falls, he will die nine times or ten times, no matter how cruel he is. ”
“The murder trap, in terms of height, can have ten If you fall unprepared for a few meters, you will be injured and fractured. You will be unable to escape. You will be trapped alive in a pit. Most of the pits are underground. There will also be many killing methods, such as ground stabs, spears, and upside down thrusts. Swords, poisonous snakes and insects, or underground rivers.”
"Anyway, the main idea is that if you fall, you won't be able to survive."
After hearing Taotie's narration, Fang Xiaocao and the others felt a creepy feeling.
The ancestors are so cruel!
But if you think about it in another’s shoes, you can understand it.
After all...
You've come to dig my grave, leaving me with no peace after death. Why can't I kill you?
Fang Xiaocao and the other three were silent.
The floor tiles in the tomb passage have collapsed. I don’t know how much they will collapse.
Is there anyone else ahead? It’s unknown whether the agency is there. How to save Taotie?
Fang Xiaocao was silent for a while, then said: "Taotie, based on your experience with the old tomb robber, what type of pit did Tom step on?"
"Is it a trap for trapping people or a trap for killing people?"
Fang Xiaocao asked a very practical question.
This issue is also the issue that Tom, the client, is most concerned about.
This is related to his wealth and life.
If it’s a trap that traps people, then with Tom’s skills, he won’t be hurt with his eyes closed, and he can climb out easily, but if it’s a trap for killing people...
If it's just high, it's okay, even if it's injured.
As long as Taotie is around, he doesn’t have to worry.
Taotie can carry him on his back.
But if it is a pit full of spears inserted into the ground...
Even the gods can’t save him.
Taotie fell silent after hearing Fang Xiaocao's question. "Alas..."
After a long time, Taotie sighed.
"Your Highness, I can't tell this."
"Don't say it's me, even if the old tomb robber is still alive, he can't tell."
"I can only speculate based on the traps I have experienced since entering the tomb."
Taotie said helplessly.
Hearing Taotie’s words, Fang Xiaocao’s heart sank.
The expressions of Tom and Hummingbird also became ugly.
Because, they all have their own judgment.
Needless to say, Taotie and the others knew that the situation in the trap was not optimistic.
Don’t say 100%.
At least 80% of the time, the trap Tom stepped on was a murder trap.
The owner of the tomb is in front, and has arranged a quicksand trap that would be lifeless for most tomb robbers. There is no reason to be merciful when they get here.
This trap must be a murder trap.
"Is there any way to crack it?"
Fang Xiaocao looked at Taotie expectantly.
Now, Fang Xiaocao can only place her hope of saving Tom on Taotie.
After all, Taotie is the only one among the four who understands the mechanism of the ancient tomb. Even if there is a pit in the quicksand, Taotie can find a way to break it and let them come safely.
Maybe the old tomb robber also taught Taotie how to break a murderous mechanism like this?
After hearing Fang Xiaocao's words, Taotie fell silent.
The frown became tighter and tighter.
Looking at Taotie with a constipated expression, Fang Xiaocao's anxious nose started to sweat, but he couldn't help Taotie, so he could only do it in a hurry.
Fang Xiaocao was almost as anxious as a donkey.
Put a stone mill on her that is spinning in circles. She can pull the stone mill and grind two kilograms of beans.
After a long period of contemplation, Taotie came up with a solution that was not a solution.
“Your Highness Princess, I have a solution that is not a solution. Whether it works or not depends entirely on luck. If you are lucky, you may be able to save Old Tom’s life. If you are not lucky, then... ”
Although Taotie didn’t finish speaking, Fang Xiaocao and the three of them all understood what Taotie meant.
If you are not lucky, Tom will die!
After understanding the subtext of Taotie's words, Fang Xiaocao panicked and burst into tears.
Although Tom was not Fang Xiaocao's first subordinate to use hypnosis to subdue her, he was the one who stayed with her the longest and saved her the most times.
The first subordinate to be subdued by Fang Xiaocao was Aquarius, who was on the blacklist. However, Aquarius had been sniped to death by Capricorn in the mountains of the next city.
After the water bottle, there is Tom.
Tom was originally a killer who was favored by others and came to kill her. Because of his carelessness, he was plotted by her and became Fang Xiaocao's subordinate under the strange hypnosis.
And it is precisely because of Tom's existence that there are Taotie and Wan Xiaozhou behind.
It was precisely because of Tom and Taotie, these two generals, that Fang Xiaocao became ambitious.
Now that Tom may die at any time, how can Fang Xiaocao not feel uncomfortable?
Fang Xiaocao was an orphan. He had no family since he was a child, and his only friend was Zhi Qi.
This is also the reason why Fang Xiaocao became friends with Han Xue and became best friends with Su Wanqing.
