Chapter 146 Hugging the Human Figurines

The mechanism we encountered in front of the ancient temple was very similar to this one. I even suspected that the two mechanisms were created by the same person. However, the place in front of the ancient temple was large and it was during the day. We used a big stone slab to trigger the mechanism in advance. We can just avoid it from a distance. But in this two-person-wide passage, it’s winding, the space is narrow, and it’s pitch black all around. Once the mechanism is triggered, we really have no way to hide.

Moreover, Ye Guangci was injured again. Thinking of this, I suddenly became restless.

"I've been walking down for so long. Not only does this section of the passage not go down, but the slope is still going up. If I roll a big stone down, it might trigger the mechanism," I said helplessly to Ye Lingwen.

"Qingyang, don't worry, we'll think of a way slowly, just enough to let dad rest for a while."

I simply lay down on the ground and slowly thought of a solution.

"The person who built this secret passage was also a master, and he specifically used the upward slope to build this mechanism." Time passed by in the darkness, and the more anxious I became, the less I could think of a solution.

Suddenly I heard Ye Lingwen say: "This mechanism is activated only when you step on the stone steps. It would be fine if you don't step on the stone steps."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Don't step on it..." I suddenly understood what she meant before I finished speaking. "You mean to walk past where the human figurines are standing on the stone walls on both sides? The place where the human figurines are standing is fine. Step on your feet, but there is no place to step on the stone wall between the two figurines."

"The stone wall is full of holes. It shouldn't be difficult to find a place to step on. If there isn't one, we can only use a dagger to carve it out slowly."

I was speechless for a moment, and it seemed that this was the only way. If this was the case, we had to move forward slowly as close as possible to the human figurines on the stone wall, face to face, or even face to face, otherwise we might fall down. Thinking of Tao Tao The charred corpses in the figurines...

"Well, that's all." Seeing that Ye Lingwen was not afraid, I no longer hesitated!

Ye Guangci's wound is not shallow. He must not exercise strenuously for the time being, otherwise the wound will crack and bleed again. I discussed with Ye Lingwen and Ye Lingwen that we can only stay in this passage for a while. People like us can't recover. It's faster than ordinary people. I hope his wound can heal as soon as possible. I was just thinking about it.

Suddenly Ye Guangci, who was sleeping beside him, shouted:

"We must find him! We must go back!!...Lingwen! Don't leave me! Don't leave"

I was confused when I heard this. Could it be that Ye Guangci also liked to have erotic dreams like me? Then he should also be dreaming about his daughter! I was just about to go over and see what was going on with him.

Lingwen quickly stopped me and said: He must be too weak and having nightmares, don't wake him up and let him sleep a little longer."

I think about it, it’s strange that I didn’t have nightmares after escaping from death several times in the past two days!

In this way, we quietly waited for Ye Guangci's wound to heal in the secret passage. About 3.4 hours passed before I went over to wake up Ye Guangci. During this time, Ye Lingwen and I also took turns sleeping. After Ye Guangci rested, He seemed to be in much better spirits, so I told him about the spiritual pattern method, but he couldn't think of a better way, so he felt that this was the only way.

Now that Ye Guangci is injured, it seems that I have to lead the way.

I was about to pick up Ye Guangci's backpack when he stopped me.

"You are clearing the way in front. You have to pack lightly. I'll take care of the backpack! I have a skin injury on my leg. It's not a big problem."

"How about I carry it?" Ye Lingwen said.

"If you carry two bags, the center will move outward and fall easily. I will carry it."

It made sense when I thought about it, so I put on my headlamp and cautiously came to the side of the human figurines. The human figurines on the left were broken into pieces, and the carbonized mummies inside were still standing there motionless. I felt like he had been watching me.

Suddenly my back felt cold.

I stepped on the stone bar on the right where the human figurine was standing. Fortunately, the stone bar was not high, about half a meter from the ground. I hugged the human figurine tightly, for fear that the center of gravity was too far outside and I would lose my footing and step on it.

The ground, that will inevitably trigger the mechanism.

I could only lean in as much as possible. The figurine was right in front of me, almost face to face. I felt that my posture was like holding a girl to kiss her. The difference was that what I was holding in my arms was not anything.

The girl was a burnt mummy.

My headlight illuminated the face of the figurine very clearly. His eyes were wide open, but there were no eyeballs. I was extremely frightened, for fear that he would suddenly open his mouth and blow at me. I would never dare to do so again.

Look more, close your eyes and stretch out your left leg to feel for a place on the stone wall where you can put your feet.

, Fortunately, the stone wall was dug into pits, making it easy to exert force. So I stepped on a shallow groove on the stone wall between the two figurines, quickly moved to the stone strip where the second figurine stood, and then hugged the third one.

The two figurines then stretched out their right feet to look for the next place to step.

After successfully crossing several human figurines in this way, I relaxed a little and felt that it was not as difficult as I thought, so I shouted to Ye Lingwen and the others behind me to come over. Unexpectedly, as soon as I shouted, my Dantian exerted force,

The hands holding the figurine tightened, and I heard a crash from the figurine. The entire upper body of the figurine was crushed by me. The pottery pieces fell to the ground one after another. The dark corpse in the pottery figurine was also broken from the waist and fell to the ground.

into my arms.

"Be careful!" Ye Lingwen and Ye Guangci shouted from behind.

What's even more terrible is that the human figurine was crushed. My hands lost their place of strength and I fell outwards. I was about to fall to the ground. In desperation, I hooked the statue with my calf on the stone bar.

legs of human figurines, then

Then he grabbed the halberd that had fallen aside, turned his head sharply, and pressed the halberd against the opposite stone wall. Then he pushed hard with both arms, and then he stood up straight and regained his balance. The lower body of the figurine also followed.

It was crushed between my legs.

I stood on the stone slab panting and shocked, and then I noticed that the half-carbonized mummy was still lying in my arms. The hairs all over my body stood up and goosebumps appeared all over my body. I felt like he was about to open his eyes in the next second.

I pushed him out like a cramp, my heart beating wildly.

"Qingyang! Qingyang! Are you okay?" Ye Lingwen shouted anxiously from behind. The bright light of the flashlight made me dizzy.

I recovered a little and shouted to them: "It's okay! These pottery figurines are not strong. You must be careful. If they don't work, just push them down."

"Try not to destroy these pottery figurines. This can be regarded as the tomb of the deceased. Besides, if all these pottery figurines are knocked down, if another mechanism is activated, we will stick to the wall and have no place to escape!"

Ye Guangci said to me.

What Ye Guangci said makes sense. Fortunately, I was not in danger this time. I also accidentally discovered that it would be much easier to hold the halberd against the opposite wall and then move forward. So I asked Ye Guangci and Ye Lingwen to take down one each.

The halberd moved slowly forward against the stone wall according to my method.

There are such human figurines on both sides of the passage. You can't see the end at a glance. The three of us stood on the stone strips where the figurines stood and pressed against the stone wall. We slowly moved forward with the help of the halberd. I tried not to look at those people.

When holding those figurines, you can’t use force, but you don’t dare to be too strong.

The most frightening thing about exerting force is that I am always worried that this figurine will suddenly move at the next moment. This feeling of fear made me almost collapse. Fortunately, after walking for less than half an hour, I couldn't see it on both sides of the passage.

The figurines were gone, and I breathed a long sigh of relief.
