Veins popped up on Ye Xun's forehead: "I'll come down and see if you're dead."
I coughed twice and turned my head away: "Let's go through here later and enter the second mechanism city."
I took out the map left by Zhuge Liang from my body and said: "Look, every city has eight gates, arranged according to the Eight Diagrams. The safest position in the first city is the Kun position, and the second city is the Kan position... Qin Si If they want to pass by, they need to go around a long distance. If we go directly, we will be at least an hour faster than them. A lot can be done in one hour."
Ye Xun paused for a moment before saying, "You didn't tell Si Ruo? She thought you were dead."
Ye Xun's golden mask is still with Si Ruo. I can contact her anytime I want. I hesitated for a moment before shaking my head and said: "Let her think I'm dead first, otherwise it's easy for Qin Siyue to see the flaw... Oops -"
Before I finished speaking, I felt a sharp pain in my thigh. When I looked back, Tao Siyu had already plunged an awl into my leg. The other party said with a gloomy face: "This is for Si Ruozha, you bastard."
Tao Siyu was aggrieved for Si Ruoming, but there was one thing I didn't say: It might be better not to tell Si Ruoming that I'm still alive now. If I really died in the machine city, it would be giving her hope and letting her down. despair. Rather than that, it would be better for her to think that I had died in the city.
I rubbed the awl hole on my leg with one hand and gestured forward with the other hand. The straight-line distance between the two city walls is about three hundred meters, but there is no danger hidden in this seemingly calm blue brick avenue.
I said in a deep voice: "I'll leave first, and Ye Xun will take care of me. Tao Siyu, wait until the two of us pass before leaving. If we get into trouble, just go back!"
I didn't care whether Tao Siyu agreed or not, so I pulled out Mie Tian and tentatively walked towards the opposite side step by step. I was cautious every step I took, and even tried several times before I dared to settle.
But when I was halfway there, there was a soft sound under my feet. As soon as I saw the green bricks on the soles of my feet explode into two pieces out of the corner of my eye, I used both feet to leap behind my back at the same time. I flipped several times in the air before landing flat on the ground.
But as soon as the soles of my feet touched the ground, the four green bricks under my feet sank to the ground at the same time. Four spiral-shaped blades suddenly appeared around the broken brick, and they cut directly at my ankle.
If I let the blade of the knife get close to my feet, my feet would be broken at the wrist in just a few seconds. Unable to avoid it, I turned Mie Tian and thrust it up and down the blade at my right foot. Shengsheng pinned the rotating blade with the long knife.
But I stood in a trap with both feet. I could block the blade beside my right foot, but I could only watch the spinning blade cutting towards my left foot.
At the critical moment, Ye Xun suddenly took two quick steps, raised his blood moon and inserted it into the mechanism against my calf. I clearly felt a piece of iron that had been blown away by the knife hit my leg. The tip of the knife that had already cut open my trouser leg came to a stop while picking up my skin. Although the knife didn't hurt my bones or muscles, the blood on my legs still stained my trouser legs red.
Before I could even breathe a sigh of relief, two iron gates suddenly opened on the ground on the left side of my body, and four knife carts standing side by side rolled onto the ground at the same time.
A layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on my body.
The sword chariot, also known as the Simon sword chariot, is a city defense tool from the Mohist family. The knife cart itself is an extremely strong two-wheeled wooden cart. There is a knife wall in front of the cart, carrying twenty-four steel knives. The body is almost as wide as the city gate. Once the city gate is broken, dozens or even dozens of people will be dispatched from the city. Hundreds of soldiers pushed sword carts at the same time to block the city gate and continued a fierce battle with the enemy.
This kind of emergency equipment used to defend the city was actually made into a mechanism by the Mohist disciples. If four knife carts are launched at the same time, at least half of the road can be completely flattened. Unless we have heavy weapons to resist the opponent, we will only be torn into pieces by the knife carts.
The four knife carts only paused for a moment, then rolled over in front of me with a loud rumbling sound. My feet are still stuck in the two traps and cannot move. As long as I move a little, the sharp blade in the trap will move accordingly.
If I want to escape the trap in a short time, I have to give up my feet; otherwise, I can only be crushed into pieces with my feet.
I only thought about it for a few seconds before speaking: "Ye Xun, let's go! I don't want to live in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. I'm very happy to be a brother with you."
"Fuck you!"
That was the first time I heard Ye Xun curse. When I turned around in shock, Ye Xun suddenly stood up and ran a few steps. His hands turned into claws at the same time, grabbing the cold-glazed blade on the knife cart. His body stretched diagonally into a straight line, and his feet He stepped firmly on the ground and withstood the rumble of the knife cart.
Although Ye Xun tried his best, he was still unable to resist the power of the agency. The two sides were in a stalemate for only a few seconds before Ye Xun slid back inch by inch under the push of the knife cart: "Find a way to go!"
"Let go!" I know that Ye Xun's skills are deeper than mine, but human power can never resist the power of machinery. If Ye Xun doesn't let go, it won't take long for his bones to be broken by himself. Then I have to watch him. Was crushed into a bloody corpse.
While the two of us were shouting at each other, I heard Tao Siyu shouting sternly: "You're calling bullshit, shut your mouth!"
I don't even know when Tao Siyu arrived at my feet. When I saw her, she was already quickly dismantling the mechanisms at my feet.
Although Tao Siyu was fast, her hands were shaking all the time—three lives were in her hands, so she couldn't help but calm down.
My eyes turned repeatedly between Tao Siyu and Ye Xun, and the cold sweat on my forehead dripped to the ground like water.
"Hurry up!" As Ye Xun roared, lines of blood dripped from in front of him and fell to the ground.
Ye Xun vomited blood
"Idiot, let go! I don't need your help!" I grabbed Mi Tian's knife handle while roaring, and suddenly lifted it up.
A pair of feet would be gone if they were gone. At least when I climb out from here, Ye Xun will not let go and escape.
The moment Mi Tian left the ground, I also gritted my teeth. But what I was waiting for was not the heartbreaking pain, but a fierce slap from Tao Siyu: "Are you stupid? Help me quickly!"
Tao Siyu removed the mechanism on my right foot, but it was too late to save my left foot. When I didn't understand what the other party wanted to do, Tao Siyu grabbed the handle of Xue Yue's knife: "I'll go back, you go forward, quick!"
Is Tao Siyu going to use a sword to cut off the sharp edge on the mechanism
With a slight thought in my mind, I followed the opponent and inserted his knife into the mechanism. The two of them drew their swords at the same time and swept to the left and right. As the four blades snapped in response, I quickly rushed to Ye Xun's side. I held Mie Tian tightly with both hands and raised it above my head, slashing wildly against the front wall of the cart. The rugged blades fell to the ground with sparks flying, and Ye Xun also fell to the bottom of the car.
Tao Siyu didn't wait for Ye Xun to fall and rushed towards him diagonally. He hugged Ye Xun from the waist and dodged to the side. I followed them and took a few steps back, hiding towards the edge of the city wall.
After we all hid in a safe area, a deep feeling of powerlessness arose in my heart.
We were almost trapped in an elusive mechanism before we reached the halfway point. When we walked to the top of the city, we might encounter something else.
For the first time, I doubted whether my decision was the right one.
When I was silent, Tao Siyu suddenly said: "Look over there."
When I looked in the direction of Tao Siyu's finger, four knife carts had already crashed into the cracked mechanical gate on the ground in the distance. If I guessed correctly, these machine tool carts should be reusable. After they break out of the ground from the right side, they run for a certain distance, then enter the left gate and are returned to their original position by the machine. In this way, the machine can Keep recurring.
Tao Siyu said in a deep voice: "How about we go down from that gap to the ground?"
I was shocked and said, "You're not talking nonsense, are you?"
Tao Siyu glared at me fiercely: "In terms of skill and intelligence, I am indeed not as good as you, but when it comes to stealing, I can be your ancestor. What is the most important thing in our line of work? Is being able to find everyone They can sneak into other people's homes in unexpected ways. I think that the mechanical gate is a feasible way."
I couldn't help but frown. What Tao Siyu said makes sense. This is like a fortress. No matter how densely packed with guns and defenses it is outside, once you get inside, it will become vulnerable.
But I always feel that this method is too risky.
The Mohists and Gongshu were famous all over the world for their art of mechanism. Did they not think of this when they built the city of mechanism? Maybe it will be more dangerous from there.
While I was thinking about it, Ye Xun suddenly said: "We are all gambling on life and death anyway, so what difference does it make where we gamble? Moreover, I think Tao Siyu's idea may not be wrong. We can try it."
I was silent for a moment and said, "Then try."
Tao Siyu walked to the mechanism that I had just stepped on and pressed it hard with my hand. Four brand new knife carts flipped onto the ground from the original gate and pushed towards Tao Siyu at the same time.
Tao Siyu quickly escaped from his position, followed Ye Xun and me behind the knife cart, and walked quickly towards the entrance of the agency. As I walked, I said, "Tao Siyu, can you understand what the knife car uses as power?"
"I can't tell." Tao Siyu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid we have to dismantle the knife cart to find out, but we don't have time now."
"Yeah, we don't have time now." As I muttered to myself, the mechanism gate in the distance slowly opened. When the knife cart was about to enter the gate, Tao Siyu shouted: "Let's go first."
