Supreme Martial Artist - Chapter 1603
Chapter 1603 There Were Many Mechanisms!
Standing in front of the ancient tomb, everyone did not rush in. Instead, they listened to Cheng Qi explain the internal situation of the ancient tomb in detail in order to make preparations.
Cheng Qi explained in detail the dangerous situation that the ancient tomb might face. The ancient corpses inside the tomb were the most dangerous existences. Apart from that, there were also concealed weapons and other formations. They were extremely terrifying.
However, the treasures inside were also eye-catching. Even though the tombs were filled with dangers, they could not discourage people’s interest in treasure hunting.
Cheng Qi said that this tomb was the largest he had ever seen since he entered the Nine Nether Prison. According to his past experience, there were more treasures inside, but it was also more dangerous.
Finally, he solemnly said that an ancient tomb of this level was not only powerful, but it was also very likely that a large number of ancient corpses would be born.
Liu Xi was puzzled, “There is only one person buried in the ancient tomb, where did so many ancient corpses come from?”
Cheng Qi said solemnly, “The ancient tomb in the Nine Nether Prison is very special. It seems that the social system of this world is different, and there will be many people buried with it. That’s why I deduced it like this!”
Buried with him!
Everyone took a deep breath. This was truly cruel.
Qin Fei looked at the tomb and said, “No matter what, we’ve already arrived here. It’s a pity that we gave up! How about this, Seventh Brother and I go in to the tomb. Let’s see the situation first. You guys wait outside and wait for our signal. We won’t let you in until there’s no danger.”
Liu Xi hurriedly said, “How can that be? I can’t let you take risks!”
Cheng Qi said, “Junior Brother Qin is right. It’s inconvenient to have too many people. If there’s any danger, you won’t be able to take care of it. It’s much more convenient for me to go in with him!”
Thus, Liu Xi did not say anything else. The others were even more eager to not enter. Hearing Cheng Qi’s terrifying words, everyone was frightened. Being able to avoid danger was naturally the best.
With that, Qin Fei and Cheng Qi entered the tomb while Liu Xi and the others waited outside.
The interior of the tomb was like a huge castle. The first thing that appeared in front of the two of them was a long passage. It was as wide as a street and had a space of 20 meters. The carriage could even speed inside.
There were square bluestone slabs on the ground, and ancient wall lamps hung on both sides of the wall. Qin Fei waved his hand and the wall lamps lit up, illuminating the passageway. The passageway was about a hundred meters long, and at the end was a thick stone door carved with two lions.
Cheng Qi whispered, “Usually, this hidden weapon is the easiest to appear in the passageway. This is the first line of defense of the ancient tomb!”
Qin Fei nodded and lowered his head to look at the bluestone slab on the ground. If there was a hidden weapon, it must have come from the stone slab on the ground. Each stone slab was exactly the same, unable to be distinguished. He could only take one step at a time.
He said to Cheng Qi, “Seventh brother, don’t move. I’ll go and try!”
Cheng Qi also knew that this was not the time to argue. He nodded silently and watched nervously as Qin Fei stepped out and stepped on the first bluestone slab.
Qin Fei carefully stepped on the second piece and gently tapped it. He watched his surroundings vigilantly and saw that there was no reaction before he stepped forward. Then, he took the third step.
After taking fifteen steps forward, he had already crossed a distance of more than ten meters without any reaction. It was as if there was no mechanism in the passageway to prevent people from visiting.
Qin Fei heaved a sigh of relief. He continued forward and probed forward. When he was halfway there, he stepped on a green stone. Suddenly, the stone slabs sank. Thousands of holes appeared on the surrounding walls. Countless sharp spears shot out, enveloping him from left to right.
Cheng Qi cried out in alarm. Qin Fei hurriedly retreated. Every step he took, the stone slabs would sink. The flames on both sides of the wall accompanied by the spears appeared, forming a ferocious tide.
Qin Fei was shocked. These stone slabs didn’t have the slightest reaction as they moved forward, but they triggered the mechanism when they retreated. This was truly a clever design.
The power of each spear pierced through the body of a Destiny Change Realm expert. The power was overwhelming. Qin Fei finally retreated from the passageway after being struck by a spear in his right arm. The storm calmed down.
Qin Fei’s life spiritual energy quickly circulated in his body, repairing his wounded right arm.
Cheng Qi said solemnly, “This mechanism is very well-designed. It can lure the enemy deeper and then activate the formation, leaving no way to retreat. Fortunately, it’s you. If it were me or anyone else, I’m afraid they would all die here!”
Qin Fei nodded. It was indeed difficult to guard against. It seemed that the dangers in this ancient tomb had exceeded his imagination.
But of course he wouldn’t give up, As long as any ancient ruins are discovered, they must be trespassed upon, Because before leaving, Zhong Shanqiang said, If Nine Nether Prison’s Soul Snatching Valley wanted to enter, you have to find a magic treasure, called the Golden Key, Only after obtaining the golden key would he be able to enter through the formation laid down outside the Soul Seizing Valley. The golden key was extremely rare and existed in the ancient ruins. However, it was unknown which ruins it appeared in. Therefore, since Qin Fei had agreed to Zhong Shan forcefully go to the Soul Seizing Valley, he had to obtain the golden key first, so he had no choice but to look for it in the ancient ruins.
He didn’t tell Zhong Shanqiang about this to prevent the other party from being distracted. If he knew that he was going to help Zhong Shanqiang, Cheng Qi would definitely insist on following him to help. The Soul Snatching Valley couldn’t let him take risks.
Right now, the passageway was blocked in front of him. How to pass through was a difficult problem. Qin Fei had already experienced the power of these spears. They were powerful and his body was unable to defend against them. It was impossible to resist them head-on. He had to come up with a perfect method.
He calculated the distance. He had only triggered the mechanism halfway through. If he were to run forward with all his might and without stopping, with his speed, he should be able to forcefully pass this fifty-meter distance.
Thinking of this, he told Cheng Qi what he thought. Cheng Qi said that this was too dangerous. If there was an unknown formation in front of him, wouldn’t there be no way out?
Qin Fei smiled bitterly.
Without waiting for Qi Qi to say anything else, he rushed out at top speed and arrived at his previous position in the blink of an eye.
Creak! The mechanism triggered again. The spear and flames engulfed the passageway. Qin Fei rushed out crazily. His speed was faster than the mechanism’s reaction. He successfully reached the end of the passageway. As he had expected, the mechanism stopped as soon as he passed.
Cheng Qi was overjoyed. He didn’t expect that he would be able to succeed. Of course, Qin Fei was the only one who was able to do so. Qin Fei’s speed was almost twice as fast as an ordinary person’s. If it was him or anyone else, he would definitely be shot into a hornet’s nest if he couldn’t run over.
Qin Fei told him not to move. He searched everywhere to see if there was any way to destroy the mechanism.
Cheng Qi endured not moving and looked at Qin Fei expectantly. He felt that following Qin Fei really didn’t need to think about anything. He would naturally have a way to solve all the problems.
Qin Fei carefully searched the situation at the end of the tunnel. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. A protruding stone pile was found on both the left and right sides, He gently pressed the stone stake. There was no reaction. He frowned and changed the way he moved. Finally, the stone stake fell into the wall. There was a creaking sound in the passageway. The bluestone slab on the ground sank slightly and floated up. It formed a path. This path should be a safe bridge to pass through.
But Qin Fei was annoyed again. Which kind of road was the safest, the sinking or floating stone slab?
He decided to give it a try. He walked back to the sinking stone slab first. As soon as he stepped on it, he heard the sounds of the mechanisms in the surroundings. A hole appeared, and a sharp light flickered. He hurriedly retracted his feet before the surroundings quieted down.
He stepped onto the floating stone slab again. This time, there was no danger. He walked to Cheng Qi’s side.
Only then would the trouble in this passage be resolved. The two of them stepped on the floating stone slab and arrived at the stone door.
The stone door was tightly closed, and the two male lions carved were lifelike. The two pairs of eyes glared at the two of them valiantly, as if they were alive. They looked somewhat frightening.
Qin Fei tried to push the door open without moving at all.
Cheng Qi said that all the stone doors of the ancient tombs he had encountered in the past were equipped with large mechanical formations. Brute force was impossible to break through, so he had to find the hinge.
He pointed at the lion on the door and said that the hinge should be these two lions, so he had to carefully search for them.
The two of them carefully searched through the door, but they didn’t find anything similar to a pivot.
Qin Fei finally stared into the eyes of the two lions. With a thought, he extended his finger and stabbed into the eyes of one of the lions.
Creak! His eyes sunk into the door, revealing an empty hole. Qin Fei stabbed into the other three holes according to the law. Four holes appeared on the door. Cheng Qi was extremely surprised. This was also okay?
