Although the variety of things on the floor was dazzling, the purpose of Liu Ruyan's trip was not to explore the contents of the box.
So she didn't even take a second look at these things and passed by them without changing her expression.
Liu Ruyan just wanted to find a safe way up as far as possible. So far, she has not triggered any mechanism.
However, Liu Ruyan knew that this sling-style design was the easiest to add mechanical concealed weapons, so she always maintained the highest level of vigilance.
Until the length of the rope around Liu Ruyan's waist was exhausted, she could not see the situation at the next level.
Liu Ruyan estimated that the vertical distance she had climbed so far was about two meters.
And when she raised her head and looked upward, the highest point her field of vision could reach was more than one meter from her current position.
In other words, the height of this floor is at least four meters!
Judging from the surrounding furnishings, this is still not the main tomb, but according to the height of this floor, it probably won't take long for them to return to the ground.
Therefore, the location of the main tomb is probably not far from them.
Although Liu Ruyan still wanted to continue exploring upwards, considering the other people, she decided to return first.
Although the sizes of the floors here vary, the smallest one can accommodate two people without any problem.
Most floors are big enough for five of them to sit side by side.
After Liu Ruyan returned, several people were connected with ropes and slowly climbed up along the path Liu Ruyan had just explored.
With the mutual support of everyone, although their movement speed was slow, it was also very smooth. Even an old man like the professor was brought steadily to a higher floor.
In the process of climbing up, Zhou Sheng and Xiao Wang usually go up first, and then they stand at diagonal positions to balance the floor so that the floor will not tilt due to uneven gravity.
Similarly, the floor below has two ends separated by Liu Ruyan and the thinner Xiao Zhang.
However, this stability did not last long, and eventually some people could not resist the temptation of the treasure chest.
After all, they were going up slowly, and the box on the floor was close at hand, so it was hard not to want to investigate.
Just when Zhou Sheng and Xiao Wang landed on the upper level floor, the chain connecting to the floor suddenly broke!
Without any warning, Zhou Sheng and Xiao Wang instantly fell downwards as if they were weightless.
Fortunately, the height they ascended at this moment was only a little more than the height Liu Ruyan explored just now, only nearly three meters. Even if they fell to the bottom, they would not be seriously injured.
The moment something unexpected happened, Zhou Sheng quickly grabbed the floor closest to him with quick eyesight and hands.
Xiao Wang, who was tied with him by a rope, was quickly caught and did not face the fate of falling to the bottom.
However, the momentary feeling of weightlessness still made Xiao Wang a little frightened. He looked at Xiao Zhang with resentment in his eyes.
As Xiao Zhang’s roommate, Xiao Wang knows that he has always been curious and adventurous.
So when something happened to him, he subconsciously suspected that Xiao Zhang had encountered some mechanism out of curiosity.
However, there was only confusion in Xiao Zhang's eyes. After a brief incident, he quickly reacted and lay on the edge of the floor, trying to help Zhou Sheng and Xiao Wang crawl back.
When Xiao Wang saw this, the resentment in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot. He held Xiao Zhang's hand, exerted force, and then used the pull of the rope to swing back to the floor.
In the center of the floor, there was a box with gold rims. Although it was covered with cobwebs and dust, making the gold look a little dull, it still couldn't hide its luxury.
However, in the center of the box, the buckle-shaped mechanical lock was obviously lifted up. I think this was the reason why the chain suddenly broke just now.
Just now, even Liu Ruyan was paying close attention to the situation on Zhou Sheng's side and didn't notice who touched the mechanism on the box.
I don’t even know whether the person who provoked the agency was intentional or unintentional.
But Liu Ruyan knew that now was definitely not the best time to care about this matter.
After all, everyone is now suspended in mid-air by a chain. Although it is not too high, it is still very dangerous.
Once there is internal division at this time, and people's hearts are divided due to conflicts, then the next road will become extremely difficult.
Of course, if these next few people are still restless and still make their actions more difficult, Liu Ruyan will choose to leave these ordinary people behind as a last resort.
The dead soldiers are the dead soldiers who guard the tombs. Although the tomb guards guard the tranquility of the tomb and the world of the living, it does not mean that the dead soldiers should also become the people's bodyguards and care for them regardless of everything.
For Liu Ruyan, if these ordinary people don't look for trouble or cause trouble, it doesn't matter if they take care of them a little.
But if they seek death on their own, Liu Ruyan has no obligation to protect them.
In this regard, Zhou Sheng is the same. Although Zhou Sheng has great righteousness in his heart, he cannot face the sinister nature of people without regrets.
Fortunately, so far, the performance of these people has not been too outrageous.
Zhou Sheng was able to tell that the person who secretly moved the lock of the box was the professor.
However, he did not name them by name, but said calmly: "If you still want to leave this place safe and sound, just put away your curiosity and don't touch things you shouldn't touch."
Of course, if Zhou Sheng could be more cruel, he might have decided to abandon the oldest professor at this moment.
After all, with the professor's physical condition, young people like them had to drag him up and down. In order to carry him, Zhou Sheng and Xiao Zhang had expended a lot of extra energy.
It's a pity that Zhou Sheng is not such a ruthless person. Even if throwing away the professor is the most cost-effective arrangement, he can't be so careless about human life.
In a place like this, throwing an old man away is almost the same as killing him.
Moreover, Zhou Sheng has also discovered that the mechanical design of this tomb requires the cooperation of many people in many places.
Bringing one more person along may play an additional role in cracking the mechanism.
The mechanism activated by the collaboration corresponds to the dream that Qi Ziyu described previously.
The voice in the dream told Qi Ziyu to take the others back to the tomb, wondering if he was thinking about facing such an institution.
Of course, that voice might have been compiled by Qi Ziyu himself, and maybe he actually had another purpose.
But until the truth is fully explained, Zhou Sheng does not intend to convict anyone based on subjective assumptions.
Even if the other party is obviously a believer of the Tianzun Society.
After being warned by Zhou Sheng, the professor obviously did not dare to make any small moves again.
The next floor had already fallen along with the chains, so Zhou Sheng and the others had no choice but to choose another floor closer to them to climb on.
This time, just as Zhou Sheng was standing on the floor, the chain above his head broke again!
