Tomb Raider: The Fox's Ways to Seducing the Kirin

Chapter 172: Unraveling the Mechanism

This group of people is a mixed bag, and none of them are good people. Their companions died so easily, but they didn't even feel anything and continued to look for the mechanism ahead as usual.

Seeing that Zhang Qiling and Hei Xiazi were standing aside and had no intention of intervening, the leader shouted, "Come and find the mechanism! Once you find the mechanism and get the treasure, your mission this time will be accomplished!"

Yes, they are all living fathers.

Hei Xia Zi looked at Zhang Qiling who was still unmoved, sighed softly, and responded: "Let me do it, I know how to get there."

Seeing this, the clueless people in front immediately made way for Hei Xia Zi so that he could come over and solve the gravity mechanism.

If Cheng Ji was at the scene, he would be surprised to find that this gravity mechanism was completely different in structure and style from the one that the Evil Emperor used with Li Cu in later generations.

It looks exactly like that one, but it is a completely different tomb passage.

To be precise, four identical underground palaces were built by our ancestors in four different directions of the desert leading to Gutongjing, in order to confuse tomb robbers who were looking for the real Gutongjing.

After all, any one of these four underground palaces is an imperial tomb, and the mechanisms installed therein were all designed by the top mechanism masters of that dynasty. Even people who come here basically no one doubts that this is a fake.

Hei Xia Zi took out a rope that he had prepared in advance for any eventuality from the backpack on his back and tied it to the dagger.

Keep your mind steady, aim at the gravity-activating mechanism above and throw with all your might.

The dagger entered the wall and was firmly stuck on the wall. The area where the gravity mechanism was located collapsed instantly, revealing a small path in the middle, and the door opened.

"Okay, let's go." Hei Xia Zi looked at the people who were already impatient, probably estimated the load-bearing capacity of this road, and lazily reminded them.

"Although this mechanism has been broken, there is still a small load-bearing mechanism inside that cannot be broken. There is only gravel underneath, so at most two people can go up this road at the same time. Don't let a third person go up. If you want to die, don't drag me along as your scapegoat."

This sentence made everyone who was about to rush forward shrink back instantly.

Just kidding, the treasure is important, but it’s not worth it for them to lose their lives before they even touch it.

Hei Xiazi raised his eyebrows and watched the people who were originally surrounding him run five meters away in an instant. The corners of his lips were raised without lowering. He tilted his head and invited Zhang Qiling to form a team: "Brother Zhang, since they don't want to go first, then we should go first?"

Zhang Qiling didn't say anything, but still took two steps forward as Hei Xia Zi instructed. As expected, he was stopped by the people behind him.

"No, no, you can't come together!" A tall and thin man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks in the team saw the two people preparing to take action, and hurriedly shouted to stop them.

Hei Xiazi turned his head and looked at the tall and thin man who spoke with a half-smile: "You are really unreasonable. You don't go up, and you don't let us go up. Are you afraid that we will run away? Then how do you say we should live?"

The tall and thin guy spoke in a hurry just now. If he was asked to explain, he couldn't say anything. After all, the order he received was to follow this young man named Zhang without losing his way for even a moment.

If he really let them go first, and if they got lost, he was afraid he would not be able to return alive.

There was no other way, so the tall and thin man had to bite the bullet and make the assignment: "You and the leader go first, and this guy will go last. If you all leave, what if something happens?"

Hei Xiazi sneered and said, "Okay, let's go, leader. Hei Ye will lead the way, and you follow behind."

It's not that the team leader didn't feel the weird atmosphere in his team. He discovered this from the day they organized the group. Since entering the desert, the power to take charge of this operation was no longer in his hands.

He didn't know what other people's intentions were, but as long as they didn't ruin his plan, it didn't matter to him and it wouldn't have any impact.

When the team leader heard what Hei Xia Zi said, he nodded and followed him.

The two men, one in front and one behind, carefully moved to the other side of the path, because this path was less than half an arm wide, with collapsed traps on both sides and upright barbs at the bottom. If they couldn't keep their balance and fell down, they would definitely die and never get up again.

But everyone is more or less an old hand in this business, and they walk in groups in an orderly manner.

Until the last group, that is, the group led by Zhang Qiling and the tall and thin man, went up, something unexpected happened and danger arose.

A man in gray cloth standing opposite threw three darts directly in the direction of Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling also reacted quickly, dodging the attack sideways with a hook of his foot, his movements were clean and neat.

When the man in gray saw Zhang Qiling dodge and wanted to make another move, Hei Xia Zi grabbed him from the side and broke his hand bones.

Hei Xiazi's voice still carried a hint of laughter: "I say, how can there be anyone who would resort to underhanded tactics in front of me, Hei Ye?"

"Chat?"
