Even though I was in the water, I was so frightened by the sharp touch on my forehead that I shivered.
Although I had already determined that there was a knife tip standing in front of me, I didn't expect that the knife edge would be so close to me. If I hadn't stopped in time, I would have been driven through the head by the blade of the water.
Fortunately, my forehead only touched the blade lightly and stopped, allowing me to escape.
Before I could figure out how to escape, the water behind me accelerated again.
There are no signs before the wave approaches. When you feel the force of the current gradually increasing, it means that the wave is not far away from you. When the angry wave hits, it will be truly overwhelming.
I am now using the blade to support my body, barely allowing myself to move forward along the current. I believe in the sharpness of Mie Tian, but I can't believe in the solidity of the wall.
To take a step back, even if Mietian can't break the wall, can I withstand the huge waves coming behind me? If I hold my head against the wave without moving, the force I have to withstand will not be less than a full blow from a martial arts master. Even if I don't break my muscles and bones, I will still have internal injuries and vomit blood. In the end, I will still be buried under the water.
The moment the force of the water behind me increased rapidly, I didn't know if it was a subconscious reaction, but I took a step forward. My toes stretched out for about half a meter, but they didn't touch anything.
There is no blade close to the bottom of the water
After this thought flashed through my mind, I no longer had time to think about anything else. I grabbed the handle of the knife with all my strength, pulled Mie Tian out of the wall, squatted down, and inserted the knife into the ground.
The moment the Tian Miao blade sank into the ground, a huge wave also hit. I could no longer control my body and immediately floated forward along the current. The only thing I could do was to hold on to the handle of the knife with both hands to prevent myself from being washed away by the water.
In just one breath, my body was stretched into a straight line by the water flow, and there were several crisp sounds from my arms as the joints were forcibly pulled.
If the current continued, it wouldn't be long before my arm would be completely dislocated by the force of the current. Fortunately, that huge wave only came and went in an instant, and I gradually stabilized my figure.
After the waves passed, the water flow in the "Wangchuan River" slowed down, and I tentatively opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was a machine gear rotating like a waterwheel.
"The River of Forgetfulness" is to rush towards the gears from where I am to drive the operation of the mechanism. If I had been unable to hold on and let go of my hands just now, I would have been thrown into the gears and turned into a pile of minced meat by now.
When I raised my head and looked up, I saw a two-foot-square square secret door about one meter above my head.
It seems that my initial estimate was correct. Knife Mountain is not completely rooted at the bottom of the Wangchuan River, but leaves a distance. The water of the "Forgotten River" rushes down from the source. When it reaches the Knife Mountain, it is mostly blocked by the wall above. The bottom can still rush towards the gear. In this way, the power of the river water increases again, which is just enough to push the gear to keep running. .
The square hole on my head is probably a passage in and out of the Knife Mountain. I struggled and slowly pulled out Mie Tian, squatted on the ground and moved under the square hole, stood up suddenly, grabbed the inner wall of the hollow with one hand, and got into the mountain of knives.
As soon as I pushed the flashlight away, a cold light flashed before my eyes. Countless blades were arranged at different heights in front of me. The cold light from the blades under the flashlight almost made me unable to open my eyes.
After a while, I finally got used to it.
The mechanism that controls Daoshan is right in front of me, but I don't know where to start.
When I was in the training camp, Mother Fox specially asked someone to explain the principles of the mechanism to us, but I didn't pay much attention to it - I had studied liberal arts for half my life, and when I heard about science, I felt like my head was as big as a bucket.
With Ye Xun here, I feel like I don't have to learn those things. It's enough that he studies more seriously than me.
At that time, I was even wondering if he was planning to go to Tao Xiyu, so he stretched his neck to listen to the course on traps and lock picking.
But now I just want to give myself two words. The center of the mechanism is already in front of me, but I don't know how to crack it. Isn't this fatal
Later I found out that while I was running around anxiously in the secret room of the agency, Ye Xun and the others were also on the verge of life and death.
Not long after I jumped into the water, Ye Xun and the four of them followed my instructions and grabbed the rope behind the iron claw, and followed the mechanism and hoisted them into the air.
The iron claws of the mechanism were still moving them from the mountain of swords, but the pyramid-shaped mountain of swords suddenly cracked open the moment Ye Xun and the others approached, exploding into eight petals in all directions like a lotus flower. Countless blades emerged from the separated petals, pointing straight to the sky like grass and trees. The entire mountain of swords is like a giant beast with its bloody mouth open, waiting for its prey to fall into his ferocious mouth.
"Release the flying claws!" As Ye Xun roared, the four people simultaneously pulled out the flying claws from their bodies and threw them into the air.
They were already prepared in case the rope broke before they grabbed the rope, and hung the flying claws on their waists in advance.
But they didn't expect that the rope above their heads was not broken, but the mountain of knives under their feet turned into a steel beast's mouth that expanded several times for no reason.
Ye Xun used the flying claw to catch the mechanism slide on the ceiling, and immediately changed the rope to grab the flying claw and hung it in the air.
Before the four of them had completely stopped, the iron claws hanging in the air broke in an instant, like a rainstorm crashing to the ground.
The sound of iron claws hitting the steel knife still echoed back and forth in the tomb passage, but suddenly there was a buzzing sound of the blade from the ceiling of the tomb passage. When Ye Xun looked up, four spiral cutter wheels hanging from the roof were spinning crazily like chainsaws and pushing towards them.
The people who designed the mechanism at that time seemed to have calculated that someone would change the ropes, so they added four knife wheels on the roof that could cut off any cables.
Ye Xun took a breath of cold air, shook off his weapon, loaded an explosive arrow, and aimed at the roof of the shed: "Shoot, knock down the blade wheel."
Lu Xinyao and the others had already drawn out their guns and fired continuously at the knife wheel without Ye Xun's instructions.
Although their pistols are not as powerful as the Magnum, they are standard military pistols and can easily penetrate an iron plate when fired at close range. However, when the three people fired continuously, they only saw sparks flashing from the ceiling, but no blade wheel fell.
Although Ye Xun was holding an explosive crossbow, he did not dare to fire it casually unless absolutely necessary.
At that time, he had the same concerns as I did when I was under the water—if the entire ceiling collapsed, they would also be cut into pieces.
The four blade wheels were gradually approaching, and the cold sweat on Ye Xun's forehead was oozing out, and the fingers holding the crossbow spring were trembling slightly...
At the moment when Ye Xun and others were nervous, someone from the archaeological team who had fallen down shouted: "Kick him, the people behind, kick the person in front, they can get out..."
The man shouted incomprehensibly, but Ye Xun and the four of them all understood what the other person meant. What he meant was: let Lu Xinyao and Sui Xin swing the rope from behind to kick Ye Xun and Doudu in front.
In this way, the two of them could use the swing of the rope to jump out of the mountain of swords, but Lu Xinyao and Sui Xin would have to stay on the mountain of swords forever.
Lu Xinyao and Suixin didn't even hesitate for a second, they raised their arms and wanted to shake the rope. Ye Xun shouted anxiously: "Don't listen to him, we can't get out!"
After the two men hesitated for a moment, the man shouted again: "Believe me, as long as you can swing the rope to about 75 degrees, the force generated will be able to push them out."
"Fuck you!" Doudu suddenly became furious, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will shoot you!"
Douduli really pointed his gun at the crowd, but Lu Xinyao stopped him and said: "Don't do it. I think what he said makes sense, we can try..."
"What a bullshit!" Doudu turned around and scolded, "How can we explain to Wang Huan that you two are here? Even if we two gentlemen break out, will we still have the dignity to live?"
"You still want these things..."
When Lu Xinyao and Doudu were arguing, the four knife wheels were already close to Ye Xun's predetermined distance - after the knife wheels moved forward one foot, if Ye Xun still didn't release the arrow, he would have no chance to use the explosive arrow again. . Because, by then, if he goes to blow up the wall, even he will be affected by the explosion.
Ye Xun raised the crossbow and aimed it at his predetermined position...
At that time, Ye Xun and the others didn't know that I had actually entered the center of the mechanism a long time ago. It was just that I couldn't find where the handbrake to control the mechanism was, so I didn't stop the mechanism from running.
Although I couldn't hear clearly what was going on outside, I also knew that if I delayed for a second longer, Ye Xun would be in more danger.
Like I said, Jianghu people will not put their lives in the hands of others unless they have to, let alone the enemy who is ready to put themselves to death.
I just didn’t believe that the few of us could be carried safely across the knife mountain by the iron claws, so I took the risk and jumped into the river. If I still can't find the switch, is there any point in risking my life just now
After spinning a few times in a row, I simply gritted my teeth and walked towards the gears of the machine. I quickly took out the clay wrapped in oil paper from my backpack and attached it piece by piece near the axis of the gear.
All I can think of now is fixed-point blasting. I don't believe it. If the main power shaft of the mechanism is blown up, the mechanism can still operate normally.
I quickly installed the explosives, retreated more than ten steps away, huddled in the corner of the secret room and pressed the button fiercely. Furious fire shot up into the sky along the direction of the main axis amidst the deafening sound, and the power shaft with a diameter of one foot snapped in two amidst the explosion.
Before the thick smoke caused by the explosion dissipated, a chain reaction occurred in the secret room. The sound of the mechanism breaking continued to come from east to west, and the sound of certain parts being blown away by external forces also burst out one after another, but I didn't know to what extent the center of the mechanism was damaged by me.
I couldn't help but feel waves of regret in my heart.
