How to avoid touching the mechanism when approaching the bronze man? When Qi Yang saw the dagger tied to his trouser leg, he suddenly had an idea.

Qi Yang placed the torch on the ground to ensure that the light could illuminate the surroundings.

Then he seemed to have thought of something, lowered his head and glanced at the snow-white tunic on his body, untied the belt with one hand and took it off, revealing his lean but scarred upper body.

Putting his middle coat on the ground, Qi Yang got slightly closer to the bronze man, pulled out the dagger, lowered his body, aimed at the gap between the two stones on the ground, and inserted it fiercely.

Sure enough, as Qi Yang expected, the gap between the stones would not trigger the mechanism. Unfortunately, Qi Yang only had a dagger with him, so he could only take a leap with one foot and gently land on the handle of the knife.

superior.

Qi Yang succeeded in getting close to the bronze man without touching his organs, and "Meridian Curiosities" was within reach.

Qi Yang was not in a hurry to take action, but observed carefully.

At this time, he was standing higher and closer to "Meridian Curiosities", so he could better observe the mechanisms around the book.

However, he found no other abnormalities within his sight, so Qi Yang held his breath and raised his left hand to slowly roll up "Meridian Strange Stories" from one side.

Just as Qi Yang was worried, there was a row of crossbow arrows hidden under the book. As soon as the book left the medicine basket, or as soon as the weight on the crossbow arrows was reduced, the mechanism would be triggered.

Qi Yang took a deep breath and put a little pressure on "Meridian Strange Stories" to prevent accidentally triggering the mechanism.

Qi Yang carefully observed the row of crossbow arrows hidden under "Meridian Curiosities".

There are six crossbow arrows in total, and they are shot in different directions at the same time. If Qi Yang does not dodge, he will be hit by the three crossbow arrows in the middle.

If Qi Yang was standing on the flat ground at this time, with his agile skills, he could easily avoid it by just dodging to the left or right when picking up "Meridian Strange Stories".

But at this moment, he was standing with one foot on the dagger, and the ground on his left and right sides were covered with mechanisms that could trigger the "Thousand Needles Seduction". In this situation, he could only retreat backwards.

And when retreating backwards, no matter whether he dodges to the left or right at the same time, he can't escape the shooting range of the crossbow. He can't escape intact!

Qi Yang originally didn't expect to win "Meridian Strange Stories" without paying a small price. He knew that this book meant as much to Ling'er as a martial arts secret book to a martial artist.

Money can't buy what you like. As long as it's something Ling'er likes, he will get it for Ling'er at all costs.

As long as this booklet is not a fake, what does it matter if you get hurt?

But is this "Meridian Strange News" true?

Qi Yang pressed three fingers on the book, then carefully turned a few pages with the other two fingers and started reading.

Although Qi Yang has not read "Amazing Stories about Meridians", he has also read a lot of medical books, and he can confirm the value of this booklet by just flipping through a few pages. Even if this is not the real "Amazing Stories about Meridians", the records in it are still very valuable.

Yes, it's worth fighting to the death for.

After confirming the booklet, Qi Yang began to estimate the dodge distance to see how to get the booklet at the minimum cost.

Qi Yang was secretly glad that he had the foresight to take off his middle coat. If Ling'er knew that he was injured trying to get "Meridian Strange Stories", he would be sad, right? He didn't want to make Ling'er sad.

Taking a deep breath, Qi Yang firmly grasped the "Meridian Strange Stories" and quickly picked it up while flashing to the left and rear.

Qi Yang is extremely fast, but those crossbow arrows are even faster!

As soon as Qi Yang's toes left the dagger, he felt a strong force hit his right arm, pushing him back. Then severe pain spread across his right arm.

Qi Yang was so painful that his eyes were filled with stars, and he fell straight to the ground with a muffled "bang" sound.

Qi Yang tightly grasped the booklet in his hand, holding back the pain and thinking: "The layout of this agency is not very good. I got "Meridian Strange Stories" with only one injury!"

After Qi Yang relieved the pain, he realized that the wound was losing a lot of blood. According to his past experience, there would not be so much blood before the crossbow arrow was pulled out!

He was worried that "Meridian Strange Stories" would be stained with blood, so he carefully put it aside. Then he looked at his wounds close to the torch, only to find that these crossbow arrows were specially made, and they even had blood grooves on them!

There are still levels to pass in the blood cave, so he can't lose a lot of blood!

Qi Yang gritted his steel teeth and pulled out the crossbow arrow with a force. Then he took off a bandage from his right hand and wrapped it tightly around the upper end of his right arm, finally stopping the bleeding.

Qi Yang felt exhausted all over, and a wave of dizziness came over him mercilessly.

It turns out that the crossbow arrows were poisoned!

Qi Yang smiled bitterly. On normal days, he would not pay attention to this kind of drug at all.

Qi Yang slowly climbed up and sat up, pulled his coat on the ground, took out a bottle of wound medicine and a bandage from his pocket, and applied the medicine and bandage on himself.

After a little getting used to the pain, Qi Yang took out a small piece of dried "hidden fragrance" branch from his pocket and lit it with a nearby torch.

After the blood on his body dried, Qi Yang put on the middle coat he had taken off again, put away the "Meridian Curiosities" and the dagger, and walked back lightly with a torch.

Qi Yang didn't expect to bleed so much, so he didn't bring the disguise tools with him. At the moment, he just hoped that the dim light here could cover his pale face.

In the stone room, Ling'er was still sleeping soundly. Everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful, completely different from the thrilling scene just now outside.

Qi Yang walked over gently, inserted the torch back into the slot on the wall, and then placed the "Meridian Curiosities" in his arms next to Ling'er's hand.

After looking at Ling'er affectionately for a while, Qi Yang, driven by an increasingly strong sense of dizziness, reluctantly walked back to the door and slowly slid down against the door.

Qi Yang felt that his entire right arm was painful and numb due to the bandage, but he did not dare to loosen the bandage. He could no longer bleed, whether it was the blood stains on his shirt or the slightest smell of blood, it would make Linger

Be suspicious.

And he only had to hide it until he got out of this maze of stone chambers. When he got to the next level, it was not surprising that he would have the smell of blood on his body.

Thinking this, Qi Yang slowly closed his eyes.

Perhaps due to the large amount of blood loss, Qi Yang felt chills in his body. He couldn't help but curl up, but then he felt warmth coming from his body.

What's going on? Qi Yang was startled and suddenly opened his eyes.

It turned out that Ling'er had woken up at some point and was squatting next to Qi Yang, putting Qi Yang's robe back on him.

"Did I wake you up?" Ling'er said apologetically, but her big bright eyes blinked, unable to hide the light of joy.

Qi Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he must have concealed it.

Ling'er picked up the "Meridian Strange Stories" in her hand, looked at Qi Yang with a bright smile, and asked, "Did you get this for me?"

Qi Yang nodded gently and saw Ling'er running to the torch with joy and eagerly started reading.

Seeing the smile on Ling'er's lips, Qi Yang felt that everything was worth it. Then he closed his eyes with satisfaction as he fainted more and more intensely.
