The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

While the black cat pointed at the four corners of the stone platform with its front paws, Xu Yiyu approached the stone platform and lowered his head to carefully observe the details of the four corners of the stone platform from a close distance.

Several members of the treasure hunting team's theoretical and practical groups also came forward and carefully checked whether there were any mechanisms set up on the stone platform.

The black cat was just lazily combing its fur while watching the group of busy two-legged animals around it, as if this was all it could get in exchange for the cat strip Xu Yiyu gave it, and it did not give any further instructions to any of them.

When Xu Yiyu occasionally glanced at the black cat's expression, he could even see a hint of disgust and helplessness in its emerald green eyes.

After checking the four corners of the stone platform, Xu Yiyu, the team leader, did not see any obvious clues. Instead, Shan Ke and Qi He, who had been checking the structure underneath the stone platform, actually found something at the bottom of the stone platform.

Qi He took out a ruler that he didn't know where it came from. The thinness of the ruler made it look a little sharp.

He carefully reached to the bottom of the stone platform, but Xu Yiyu did not immediately understand his intention, so he just watched his next move quietly.

When the ruler just touched the bottom of the stone platform, which seemed to be perfectly connected to the ground, nothing happened at first.

But after a while, Xu Yiyu found that the ruler slid lightly along the contact surface between the base and the ground, and was embedded between the ground and the base of the stone platform.

Qi He looked at Xu Yiyu and did not give any verbal explanation, but Xu Yiyu quickly understood what this outdoor tycoon wanted to express.

——The fit between the stone platform and the ground is not perfect. There are some hidden cavities between the two that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

And this thin ruler encountered resistance soon after it was inserted into the gap.

Qi He tried to push the ruler a few more times to explore deeper, but there were a few dull sounds coming from the seemingly solid base, and there were even a few dull sounds peculiar to metallic textures mixed in with the sounds.

Xu Yiyu took another look at the black cat that guided everyone to discover all this, and finally found that the expression on its face that clearly showed that it didn't take them seriously had disappeared a little, and was replaced by a playful tone as if it was watching a good show.

"Mimi, are you trying to say that we are heading in the right direction?"

As soon as Xu Yiyu asked this question, Xuan Mao raised his eyes lazily and looked at Xu Yiyu for a second, then nodded at Xu Yiyu almost imperceptibly.

Ha, she, Xu, knew that the saying that the black cat had psychic powers was not passed down by the ancestors for no reason.

When Qi He pulled the ruler in his hand out from the gap between the base and the ground, he noticed that there was a small handful of inconspicuous powdery debris on the originally clean ruler.

Xu Yiyu had sharp eyes, and when he saw these fragments for the first time, several possibilities flashed through his mind.

Judging from the owner of the underground palace's idea of ​​the layout of this underground building, the only place in this circular stone chamber that can hide the mechanism tightly while concealing it from the public is the stone platform in the center.

These powdery debris are most likely some material residues that fell off after the mechanism under the stone platform decayed or aged, or parts of metal parts that rusted and fell off at the joints.

With this thought in mind, Xu Yiyu glanced at the four corners of the stone platform again. An idea in her mind became clearer and clearer, and every pore and skin on her body was urging her to verify this idea.

Rong Yan, who was originally thinking about something, noticed Xu Yiyu's subtle and eager expression. As if he had thought of the same thing, he used his index finger to modestly push up his glasses that were slightly slipping off his nose.

"Everyone, I want to ask you for a favor."

Xu Yiyu generously asked for help from several male companions around him whose arm spans were much longer than his.

"Your arm span is longer than mine, so it's easier to use force. Can you try to hold the four corners of this stone platform and rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise?"

As soon as Xu Yiyu finished his request, Lin Yi's solemn face suddenly brightened a little. Without waiting for other companions to take any action, he stepped forward before them, slightly spread his arms to estimate the width of the stone platform, then took a deep breath, lowered his center of gravity in a steady horse stance, and tentatively placed his left hand on a corner of the stone platform.

The black cat that was originally on the stone platform felt Lin Yi approaching, raised its head and looked around at the faces of the treasure hunting team members, then jumped up and swiftly jumped off the stone platform, ran to the position in front of the Eight Gates and sat down again.

Lin Yi is a staunch materialist. Although he does not comment on various metaphysical statements, it does not prevent him from seeing one thing.

Xu Yiyu's idea was correct. Black Cat's performance when he gave up his position was already quite obvious.

He said nothing on the surface, but his right arm was placed on the edge of the stone platform, holding the other corner of the platform.

Lin Yi didn't dare to leave any room for maneuver, and immediately used all his strength to try to turn the square stone platform clockwise.

After feeling a resistance that was not too obvious, he saw with his naked eyes that the stone platform firmly fixed in the center of the room actually turned a few centimeters in the direction of his force.

When Lin Yi exerted force, many members of the action team surrounding the stone platform saw that the round ball that seemed to be embedded in the center of the stone platform seemed to light up at an extremely fast speed, and even for a few tenths of a second, patterns that looked like cloud patterns and lotus petals flashed on the surface of the ball.

——There is indeed a way.

When Lin Yi withdrew his hands from turning the stone platform, he only glanced at the red marks on his palms caused by the friction of the hard edge of the stone platform, and put his hands back to his sides as if nothing had happened.

This stone platform is the center of the mechanism in the circular stone chamber. He can only turn it a few centimeters, which is the limit of his current strength.

If he wanted to continue turning the stone platform, the force he would have to exert would be several times greater than what he had just used.

Lin Yi silently turned his gaze to the side and just watched Tian Lin quietly as everyone cracked the mechanism, without hiding his gaze towards him.

Before Tianlin stepped forward, both Yue Yingjie and Ji An, who had experience in training and practicing martial arts in the five-member team from Peking University, and several male members of the martial arts group in Team Huaxia, tried several times to continue applying force in the direction of Lin Yi's rotation of the stone platform.

But unfortunately, the total distance that the several people turned the stone platform was only a few centimeters.

"Oh my god, I didn't expect this thing, which looks small, to be so difficult to turn."

Chu Xiao, who was the last one to play, tried unsuccessfully. He lowered his head and blew at the bright red marks on the palms of his hands that were also left by the hard and rough stone surface, and sighed with some lingering fear.

Almost at the same time, Xu Yiyu raised his eyes to look at Tianlin beside him, and the hint in his eyes was already quite obvious.

Tianlin walked obediently to the stone platform surrounded by the treasure hunting team, and put on another pair of white gloves of unknown material for the second time in front of everyone.

Then, just like at the entrance of the underground palace, he signaled everyone with his eyes and gestures to take a few steps back.

Except for the host Xu Yiyu, the other dozens of people in the treasure hunting team immediately followed his instructions and retreated a few steps to the outside of the stone chamber, almost to the side of the mysterious eight cast iron doors.

They had already seen Tianlin take action once. In order not to be affected, doing as he said was the wisest choice.
