Chapter 144 The Wall of Desperation
Chapter 144 The Wall of Despair
Boom!
The hammer hit a cobblestone on one of the walls, making a loud bang that echoed through the canyon.
However, there is still some echo coming from behind the wall!
Sure enough, the back is empty, and my guess about this mechanism is valid.
It's a pity that the building structure made of sweaty soil and cobblestones has poor lateral compression resistance, but it is not made of paper after all. When a hammer is hit, except for leaving a white mark on the cobblestones, it basically does not move at all.
There is no way, the hammer in my hand is a kind of claw hammer, which is used to lift the coffin nails. It is really too weak to use it to smash the wall!!
There is a sledgehammer, and Brother Yaozi is carrying it on his back, but the handle of that sledgehammer is only 70 to 80 centimeters, so it can't be used in such a narrow place!
The situation was so urgent that I couldn't care less about it. I was just making a desperate struggle and kept hitting the wall with a claw hammer.
If I guess correctly, this Hualinzi is a watchdog!
Now that watchdogs are barking like this, how could their owners not know?
Regardless of whether it was the intelligent Mo Luo Shi or the old fox, if he knew that we had jumped into the trap, how could he let us go?!
If this crack can be opened, it can also be closed. If they control the mechanism from the inside to close the crack, then we will really be in trouble every day, and we will be pinched alive. This kind of death is unimaginable.
despair!
In fact, I had thought of this a long time ago, but at that time I felt that the things inside might not notice that we had entered. As long as we moved quickly enough and broke open the tomb door at once, it would be safe.
No way, we have no choice at all. I can't think of any other way to crack it. If we want to get into the tomb, we can only take advantage of it. Otherwise, we have to be prepared to dig holes here for half a year. At that time, daylilies are even cold.
Got it!
Who knew that a coward like Lao Bai could alert the "watchdog" left behind by leaning against a wall?
Right now, we only have three options.
The first step is to rush over, break open the tomb door, and get into the tomb chamber. Obviously, this is not realistic. The tomb door looks very thick. Who knows what doorway is above. If you delay, you will definitely die.
Furthermore, just climb up directly!
However, Hua Linzi has been alarmed, is it too late? The sweaty soil is full of water stains, and the cobblestones for us to climb and settle on are covered with moss. It is easy to come down with a rope, but it is difficult to go up!
After thinking about it, smashing through this wall is the most reliable thing!
In fact, this is also a gamble. I bet that the wall is not thick. It looks bluffing, but in reality it is thin and can definitely be penetrated.
Why?
Because this crack is too long, it means that the length of the wall is also amazing. If it is made thick, the weight will reach an astonishing level!
In burial technology more than 2,000 years ago, the talc rope represents the pinnacle of mechanical application. But in the final analysis, it is just simple physical knowledge, not sophisticated. It is summed up and applied by ordinary people in their daily lives.
No matter how good it is, it is incomparable to the infinitely powerful modern machines. It is even thousands of miles away from the steam engine. It relies entirely on the power of stone smashing. How many things can it drag?
Therefore, there is no reason for this wall to be too thick. If it is too thick, the mechanism will not work!!
When Brother Yaozi saw me like this, he already guessed that something bad was going on. He didn't even ask, and started working directly. However, instead of using a hammer, he took out an engineering shovel, dug the shovel into the sweaty soil, and then
With one pry, a large piece of cobblestone was pried out.
My eyes lit up, and I thought that the wisdom of the masses is indeed great. I immediately shouted "dig", and several people immediately picked up shovels and greeted me desperately.
Lao Bai originally planned to come over to help, but my heart moved and I asked him to kill Hua Linzi.
Unexpectedly, this beast was very smart. It seemed that it sensed something was wrong. It stopped grinning at us, turned around and ran away towards the tomb door.
Lao Bai didn't dare to chase, so he threw the Gu King out. Miraculously, the Gu King sprouted wings and landed on Hua Linzi's head. Hua Linzi immediately covered the ground.
It rolled over and soon became motionless.
Without this beast, at least the things inside can’t tell our reality!
Boom!
Suddenly, a muffled sound came from the tomb.
Obviously, that was the sound of a boulder falling to the ground.
For a moment, the sound of "clicking" filled the crack, and the two walls began to move...
As I expected, although the sliding stone cable is an amazing mechanism, it is still an old thing from more than two thousand years ago. It is very difficult to drag these two huge walls. The walls move very slowly, but
There is only such a small gap, and every move of this wall is squeezing our poor living space!
"I don't want to die like this!!"
In despair, Lao Bai roared: "Even if you die by a knife, it's better than this!"
Among them, he and Qi Ye are the fattest ones. When we still had a little room to move, the two of them were already clamped by the wall. As a last resort, Lao Bai could only turn sideways, but there was a lot of fat on his belly.
There were so many that my face turned red and bloodshot eyes appeared.
"I swear, if I can still go out this time, I will definitely lose weight!"
Lao Bai roared, but as he roared, he even lost the strength to speak. His voice became hoarse, his breathing began to be disordered, and finally he cried, with snot and tears flowing down his face: "I heard that people who were squeezed to death will have their eyes open.
Burst out."
He has reached this point, and the relatively thin ones like us are no better.
I have turned sideways, and the wall is getting closer to me inch by inch. The cold and moist breath is blowing towards my face. I can even smell the faint fishy smell on it. I put my hands on my chest. At this time, I can no longer use the engineer force.
Shoveled!
Deep regret lingers in my heart.
Coming to this point may have something to do with Lao Bai provoking Hua Linzi, but I know that I should bear the bigger blame. I was too reckless. I should have quit as soon as possible and think of a solution. Even if I gave up the task,
Being liquidated by Tianmeng is better than dying here!
Regret, desire to survive...
Countless emotions lingered in my heart, and I roared in agony, making a final struggle. I put my hands on my chest and pushed the wall in front of me desperately. I used the little remaining space of my lower limbs to hit the wall in front of me with my knees.
I couldn't feel the slightest pain, but my pants were warm and hot, and there was obviously blood. In extreme despair, I let out an almost beast-like roar.
Buzz!
At this time, the Earth Spirit Pearl in his lower abdomen trembled.
The next moment, I felt heat on the soles of my feet, and an inexplicable force was pouring into my body.
My feet seemed to be rooted on the ground. I don’t know if it was a flashback before death or an explosion of potential under extreme circumstances. In short, that power rekindled a little fire of hope in my heart. After struggling hard, I was able to
I feel that the wall in front of me is shaking slightly...
To be precise, the few of us have been using engineering shovels to make the wall very thin. Now we are pushing hard and we can feel some differences!
I was overjoyed and gained a little more strength. However, this was definitely overdrafting my body's potential. I could clearly hear my bones groaning under the strain, and my mouth also filled with faint sighs.
The smell of blood made his eyes burn, as if they were about to explode.
Silently, warm blood gushed out of my nose...
Just when I was about to collapse, the wall in front of me suddenly collapsed forward!
All this happened so suddenly. I staggered and rushed forward due to inertia. A black thing fell down and hit my head with a "bang". It was a huge falling pebble.
My eyes went dark and my vision became blurred. The falling earth and rocks immediately threw me to the ground, half of my body was buried, and only my head was left exposed.
Before I was completely swallowed up by the darkness, there was only one last thought left in my mind - how much of the wall had I knocked down, how many people had escaped, and how many people had died under the overwhelming force?
Bones are flying everywhere, and even the intact bones cannot be left?
The crack was too narrow. We lined up in a line. Although we were as close as possible to each other, under the circumstances, if the wall that was knocked down was not long enough, we still could not save everyone because they were already tightly trapped.
They were trapped, with no possibility of moving sideways. Even if the wall nearby collapsed, they had no chance to move over and could only face death.
"I'm sorry, I've studied very hard, but I still haven't accumulated enough, and I'm not good at studying. I can't circumvent this mechanism, so I can only lead you on the road of gambling..."
I muttered to myself, and my consciousness was swallowed up by darkness little by little...
