Night Watchman - C272

I originally wanted to use my memory to search for clues regarding how to activate the traps here, so that I could find the missing Hua Zi and the others. Unexpectedly, his words were exactly the same as before!

It was like the sound of a stone slab rubbing against stone, and it felt like it was flying. Could this be the same mechanism that we encountered at the Stoneplate Mountain, responsible for carrying things out?

I remember that I was trapped in a sarcophagus at that time, and I felt as if I was moving at high speeds. When the sarcophagus suddenly stopped, I was thrown out, but just when I thought I would fall to my death, a stone slab suddenly appeared behind my back and caught me! The sound of the slate hitting the ground was probably the same sound we made when we were thrown back into the tunnel.

Thinking of this, I understood the principle behind the mechanism’s operation. The only thing I don’t understand right now is the method to activate the mechanism.

I looked up at the board again. “Do you remember any strange marks on the wall that we were leaning against, or something different from the other walls?”

Hearing my words, Dazhi wanted to say something, but he suddenly frowned. He narrowed his eyes and looked behind me, as if he had discovered something.

Upon seeing this, I hurriedly shone my flashlight behind me. But the moment I turn around, the big board directly stops my hand!

Since my nerves were always in a state of high tension in this damned place, the moment Broad Board grabbed me, I thought he was trying to pull me away, so without saying anything further, I reached into my pocket with my other hand and grabbed the crescent chisel.

However, after Big Board grabbed my hand, he didn’t pull me to turn around and escape. Instead, he directly extinguished the flashlight in my hand.

With the flashlight off, we were once again plunged into darkness. However, after my eyes adapted to the light, I realised that a faint light seemed to be shining in front of us!

The light was faintly discernible, as if something was covering the flashlight, causing the wall to glow slightly!

Seeing this, I couldn’t help but head towards the light curiously.

As I approached the source of the light, I realized that the light was actually emitted from a piece of quartz on the wall of the tunnel!

It was known that quartz was similar to crystal. Although it was not as clear as crystal, when light shone on it, it could still be reflected through the quartz to the back.

When I saw the piece of quartz, I was immediately excited.

Because if I’m right, they’re probably right behind this wall! Since the quartz on this wall could transmit the light from behind, it meant that this wall was not very thick!

“Dang, quick!” Find something to smash this wall! Hua Zi and the others are probably right behind this wall! ”

As I said that, I immediately switched on the flashlight in my hand and started searching for a suitable tool.

But what makes people feel helpless is, although we are located in the wilderness, but this tunnel does not have a piece of rock! Fortunately, the large board had a dagger of about 10 cm in length. Although it did not feel as good as the hammer, at least it could be used to pry the rock near the quartz.

It was more than half an hour since we had managed to pry a gap in the wall about twenty centimeters in diameter. Furthermore, when I used the flashlight to look into the gap, I immediately felt my scalp tingling!

Behind the stone wall, there was no sign of Hua Zi. Instead, there was a bottomless deep ravine! The glow of their flashlights was only transmitted through a piece of quartz on the far side of the stream to our left.

Although there were many stone bridges connecting the two sides of the ravine, most of the bridges had long since collapsed. Only a very small number of stone bridges were still standing on top of the deep ravine, but they still gave off an extremely fragile feeling.

On top of the stone bridge, there was a stone slab that could allow several people to lie down at the same time. On top of the stone bridge, there was a stone tablet that could allow several people to lie down at the same time.

Since he had already been found, there was no reason not to go through with it. So without a second word, we headed in the direction of the stone bridge where Huazhe was standing.

I don’t know if it was because our digging destroyed the mechanism that was opened in the tunnel, or if we accidentally touched the mechanism during the process of digging, but after another half an hour of digging, the stone wall in front of us was suddenly smashed open without a sound!

If it wasn’t for Big Board quickly pulling me back, I would have almost pounced towards the stone bridge that wasn’t even two feet wide!

“What the hell is this mechanism? There was not even the slightest sound when it was activated!”

After complaining for a while, I shouted towards the depths of the ravine. However, the materials used here seem to be able to prevent the sound from being transmitted. No matter how we shout, there isn’t any response from Hua Zi!

For safety’s sake, the big board immediately used a bunch of climbing ropes to stumble on my waist. As for me, I shakily walked on the rotten stone bridge and headed towards the direction opposite of them.

Beneath his feet was an immeasurably deep ravine. And that stone bridge, it was unknown just how many years it had been through. The bridge that was less than two feet wide was already in ruins and was surrounded by dangers.

Even though he had a rope tied around his waist, he still felt weak as he walked in this kind of place.

One step, two steps … After soaking in this fear for so long, I gradually got used to the feeling of emptiness in my surroundings. Seeing that we were about to reach the other side, I couldn’t help but relax a little.

Just when I was starting to relax, the stone bridge under my feet, which has been destroyed over countless years, suddenly breaks and collapses after carrying my weight once again!

Fortunately, the stone bridge only collapsed a small part of the ground beneath my feet, while the rest of the bridge was still relatively sturdy. Fortunately, the stone bridge only collapsed a small piece of ground beneath my feet, and the rest of the stone bridge was still considered sturdy.

However, just as I climbed up from the stone bridge and was secretly rejoicing in my ability to adapt, I suddenly discovered that the climbing rope behind me had fallen into the deep ravine! The board had disappeared!
