Zhou Sheng and Liu Ruyan looked at each other and quickly ran towards the corner where the Iron Maiden was placed.
The blood flowing from the cracks in the Iron Maiden meandered along the cracks in the ground, making a soft sound like water drops.
The strong smell of rust in the house has covered up the smell of blood. These torture instruments have been stored underground for too long, and they have obviously developed a lot of rust.
Zhou Sheng used a little force to break open the human-shaped iron box from both ends of the cross section.
Originally, Zhou Sheng was worried that the flowing blood was some kind of trap to attract attention.
But when he saw the scene inside the iron box, he gave up the idea.
A bloody man was hung on an iron nail, and blood was slowly flowing out from the holes all over his body.
His clothes were soaked in red, and except for his head, there was no good spot on his body!
But this person's face was very familiar to them. It was Qi Ziyu who had just disappeared inexplicably!
Qi Ziyu's face was so pale that there was no blood left, her pale lips were slightly open, and she was still breathing weakly.
It's just that his hands, feet and body have begun to become cold.
Zhou Sheng and Liu Ruyan quickly peeled him off the torture device, but the peeling process was undoubtedly painful for him.
Qi Ziyu frowned and groaned in pain unconsciously.
Zhou Sheng and the others laid Qi Ziyu's body flat on the ground, but his injuries were so severe that the bandaging tools they carried with them could not be used at all.
The design of the Iron Maiden is very cruel. The iron nails will penetrate the flesh and leave people riddled with holes.
However, every location of the iron nails did not penetrate the vital points. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably feel the flow of blood until the oxygen supply in the blood was insufficient and the brain slowly died.
Qi Ziyu's current state is obviously more terrifying than ordinary people.
His blood was almost drained, but he was still alive, feeling the pain caused by the torture device in a daze, and he could never be freed!
Qi Ziyu's little remaining blood was still flowing along the winding gaps on the ground.
It was only then that Zhou Sheng discovered that the gaps in the ground seemed to have formed a special pattern when filled with blood.
He didn't know much about totemology, and he couldn't decipher more information from the patterns in front of him.
However, when the pattern was completely completed, the wall of the tomb chamber slowly opened, revealing a passage leading upward.
When Liu Ruyan saw this scene, he immediately understood the design of this series.
Although she didn't know why Qi Ziyu was imprisoned in the Iron Maiden, but if Qi Ziyu hadn't opened the tomb in a crooked way...
Even if someone was lucky enough to escape from the previous tomb chamber, under the influence of relatively excited emotions, they would most likely press a companion into such a torture device in order to open the door, and use his blood to create the conditions for the door to open!
If the first two tomb chamber mechanisms only require people's reaction ability and judgment, then this one is undoubtedly a test of people's hearts.
When people reach a dead end, if they can survive by killing each other, how many people can stick to the bottom line in their hearts?
Fortunately, they don't need to face such a choice right now.
Now that the passage to this tomb had been opened by Qi Ziyu's bloodletting, Zhou Sheng obviously had no interest in experiencing these instruments of torture again.
First, he and Liu Ruyan carefully lifted Qi Ziyu and moved him into the corridor. Then they picked up the unconscious people and took them away one by one.
After Zhou Sheng had moved everyone, the walls of the tomb were closed behind them.
The wall closes very slowly, like an old elevator, which makes people anxious.
But while it was closing, Zhou Sheng turned back again and took a deep look at the totem on the ground.
He still couldn't determine the meaning of the totem, but he found that the blood that was originally flowing had dried up and turned into blood stains and solidified on it.
Zhou Sheng guessed that if someone continued bleeding at this moment, the walls of the tomb might be opened again.
Thinking of this, Zhou Sheng's eyes couldn't help but darken.
Regarding why Qi Ziyu was imprisoned in the Iron Maiden, Zhou Sheng seemed to have guessed the reason.
After the tomb chamber filled with torture instruments was completely closed, what appeared in front of Zhou Sheng's eyes was only the long corridor.
The corridor has no end in sight, so it's obviously unrealistic to explore it with four unconscious people.
Zhou Sheng knocked on the walls on the left and right sides. There were no mechanisms here. There should be no danger if a few people were left here.
Just in case, Zhou Sheng said to Liu Ruyan: "You stay and wait for them to wake up. I will go to the front to take a look."
"How about I go with you..." Liu Ruyan rarely refuted Zhou Sheng's decision, but her tone was still very respectful.
From Liu Ruyan's point of view, these people were sleeping here and there was no need for her to protect them.
Rather than taking care of these strangers, Liu Ruyan hoped that she could be of use to Zhou Sheng.
Zhou Sheng thought for a while and replied: "That's okay. They won't wake up for a while, so they won't hinder our actions."
Then, Zhou Sheng looked stern, took out his spirit-cutting sword, and walked forward menacingly.
Liu Ruyan felt Zhou Sheng's aura, and immediately understood that what was waiting for them ahead was probably no longer an ordinary tomb chamber mechanism.
The slope of the corridor is extremely gentle, but you can still vaguely feel that this place is winding upward.
Not long after walking, ferocious masks with human faces appeared again on both sides of the corridor.
But this time, Zhou Sheng didn't give the mechanism in the mask a chance to activate. He struck directly with his sword, and the relief instantly fell to the ground in pieces.
The ferocious mask turned into broken pieces, and it no longer looked as majestic as the door god.
After the relief mask was cut off, there was a sunken hole behind the mask. A small piece of cloth was placed in the hole.
The cloth had obviously been forcibly torn into pieces, with very rough edges and irregular shapes.
Because it had been stored for a long time without any sealing protection measures, the fabric was severely corroded.
Zhou Sheng felt that as long as he exerted a little force, the cloth would turn into powder.
Even though the oxidation situation is very serious, a few blackened blood characters can still be faintly seen on the cloth.
It's just that most of the fonts have become blurry, and the glyphs on them are very sloppy, and even the parts that haven't been oxidized are difficult to read.
The person who wrote at that time seemed to have broken his finger, and in a very urgent situation, he eagerly drew these words on this piece of cloth.
Later, someone discovered the cloth and the person was very angry and tore it into pieces.
Later, for unknown reasons, these pieces of cloth were hidden in the tomb of the General's Mansion.
