After this little episode, everyone became more cautious.

Fortunately, the tomb passage where Wu Liang and others are currently is not filled with the smell of oil. This means that even if there is some oil in this tomb, it should not cause any harm to Wu Liang and others for the time being.

Moreover, if the odor of the oil itself is not extremely concentrated, the toxicity is almost negligible.

The more deadly thing is the gas produced after burning petroleum, which is much more powerful than the smoke of a fire. A few more puffs can cause a very serious poisoning situation, which can easily take away a person's life.

so.

Before the situation is clarified, as long as comprehensive "fire prevention" measures are taken, this discovery will not affect Wu Liang's determination to continue visiting the tomb.

At this time, the role of "Suihou Pearl" is fully reflected.

This thing not only has a good lighting effect, but also does not need to worry about fire hazards at all. It is simply a tomb robbing artifact.

So the group continued to move forward under Zhuge Liang's guidance.

As for the big yellow dog, the poor little thing still needs time to recover even if it eats some dry food. For the time being, Yang Wanli can only pick it up and follow the others.

However, Wu Liang had already tied it with everyone with the "Silkworm God Treasure Silk".

Lest it gain strength and run around, causing unnecessary trouble for them...

In this way, less than half an hour passed.

"Brother Youcai, now we have entered the central formation."

After walking around a corner, Zhuge Liang stopped and turned back to Wu Liang and said.

Wu Liang looked around, but he didn't find any obvious difference between this place and the places he had walked before, so he asked curiously: "Brother Zhuge, you said before that this middle formation is the finale.

With its entire formation, many different formations can be derived, so how long does it take you to break this formation, and what is there to note about it?"

"It's hard to say yet."

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Although the central formation is the final formation, it is usually where the generals strategize. That is to say, the really powerful ones should be the formations outside. Once the formations outside are broken by others,

, the Chinese army has lost the basis for holding the enemy. Without the coordinated command of the soldiers, the Chinese army is nothing more than fish on the chopping board, no matter how powerful it is."

In other words, since Wu Liang and others have arrived here, Zhongzhen has become what later generations often call the "bare commander", which is not enough evidence at all.

"Everyone should be more careful. I will leave it to Brother Zhuge to break the formation."

Wu Liang nodded slightly and said, "Old sir, you continue to use the compass to record the path we have taken in detail and provide assistance to Zhuge Xiandi in breaking the formation."

"I obey."

When Yu Ji heard this, he took out the compass.

Wu Liang suddenly thought of something again, looked at Zhuge Liang and asked a very abrupt question: "Brother Zhuge, do you know a crossbow that can fire ten arrows in a row?"

"A crossbow that fires ten arrows in a row?"

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I have never heard of it. If there really is such a crossbow in the world, wouldn't the power of the archer be increased several times? Why does Brother Youcai ask this? Has Brother Youcai seen it before?

"

"I've only heard of it, but I've never seen it."

Wu Liang also shook his head slightly, and said to everyone seriously, "Next, everyone must pay special attention to the sound of machine springs. Whenever and wherever you hear such sounds, you must fall down immediately, and then

Slowly investigate the situation. Jingjing, you must be more diligent and it is best to give early warning."

Since Zhuge Liang now doesn't know what "Zhuge Liannu" is, then "Zhuge Liannu" is most likely a product of Qiu Mu Cemetery.

As far as Wu Liang knows, the "Zhuge Liannu" created by Zhuge Liang in history is actually a semi-automatic crossbow.

However, if this kind of crossbow has some appropriate settings, it can be transformed into a triggerable trap, and it is naturally also a weapon against tomb robbers.

If you are not careful, you may end up with "thousands of arrows piercing your heart".

"Brother Youcai seems to know a lot about this tomb..."

Zhuge Liang said with some doubts.

Although Zhuge Liang lacks some life experience, his IQ is not low at all. Combining these words, it is as if Wu Liang knew in advance what might be in the tomb, and it is not difficult to draw such a conclusion.

However, little did he know that everything Wu Liang knew was inferred from him...

"It's natural. The young master's skill of making a fool of himself is unique in the world. If you get along with the young master for a long time, you will gradually become as accustomed to it as we are."

Yu Ji stroked his beard and smiled at Zhuge Liang, looking completely self-proclaimed.

This must have been detected by the young master through the art of Qi Ji!

Because the "History of Qi" does not record any details of the Qiu Mu Cemetery, the only thing that can be found is a few words about the Feng Shui pattern of the tomb passage.

Therefore, Wu Liang previously asserted that Zhuge Liang was extremely talented and could possibly break this formation.

Now, a repeating crossbow that sounds very magical once heard is mentioned again, and everyone is ordered to be extra careful about the sound of "mechanical spring".

These things can only be explained by "Yishu", a miraculous magic that can predict the future...

…

The ensuing trip to visit the tomb went smoothly beyond expectations.

Although there are still many twists and turns in the tomb passage, it is a completely straight path, and you did not encounter any traps along the way.

After walking like this for about ten minutes, everyone entered a small circular hall less than ten meters in diameter.

There is only one tomb passage in and out of the small circular hall, which is the tomb passage through which Wu Liang and others entered.

Therefore, on the surface, it seems that Wu Liang and others have reached the end of the tomb passage, or it can be said that they have entered a dead end...

However, this small circular hall is not empty.

In the center of it, there is a...work of art made of square wood?

This thing does look quite artistic. It looks like a huge oval rugby made of "mosaics".

The exposed edges and corners of the square wood are very similar to a "mosaic", but the overall shape and outline are somewhat similar to a rugby ball. Of course, it can also be said to be similar to an egg or a pineapple, and they are not much different.

besides.

There is also a metal pillar running up and down inside the "football".

This metal pillar is about twenty centimeters in diameter. On the surface it looks like it is made of bronze, but upon closer inspection it is slightly different from bronze, more like an alloy with a higher bronze content.

Looking up along the metal pillar, everyone immediately felt an extremely depressing feeling.

Because the dome of this small circular hall is very strange.

It was an unconventional inverted pyramid shape, with the pyramid's spire just touching the top of the metal column. It looked as if the weight of the entire dome rested on that small metal column.

in addition.

This dome has also changed from the previous masonry material, using the same metal material as the metal columns, and the entire dome is a whole, which is incompatible with the walls that are still made of masonry...

"this……"

Wu Liang couldn't help but think of some secret room traps he had seen in later film and television works.

It is a secret room trap in which the walls or bottom slowly compress, causing the space in the room to gradually shrink, eventually squeezing or crushing people to death inside.

This small circular hall gave Wu Liang a similar feeling.

Because he always felt that as long as the metal pillar was moved, the inverted pyramid-shaped dome above would lose its only support and would immediately fall down...

Apart from these.

The smell of oil in the small circular hall is also much stronger than before.

Just now in the tomb passage that was about to reach the small circular hall, Wu Liang and others had already smelled this smell, so they couldn't help but pay more attention to fire prevention issues.

Soon, Wu Liang found the source of the smell on the wall.

It was a kind of petroleum crude oil similar to the brown-red gelatin on the big yellow dog. Judging from the traces, it seemed to be leaking from the connection between the dome and the wall.

However, the leakage was not serious. There were only a few places where some leakage flowed down the wall, leaving only a few small pools on the ground. The largest area was less than half a square meter.

There are still a few small footprints and some yellow hairs on one of the small pools.

Needless to say, this mark must have been left by the big yellow dog.

Although this guy almost starved to death, he actually entered the middle formation while wandering aimlessly in the tomb... This proves from another aspect that the legendary "Eight Formations Diagram" is actually not that big.

Absolutely, if you are lucky, there is still a chance that you can walk out or walk in, but the probability is pitifully low.

so.

When Zhuge Xuan was about to starve to death in the tomb, this big yellow dog found him.

And when Wu Liang threw the big yellow dog into the tomb, he tied a rope and went in to look for it, but he couldn't find it.

This should also be a matter of probability, otherwise Zhuge Xuan would have definitely died at that time, and there is absolutely no way he would have survived to this day and been coerced and deceived by Wu Liang...

besides.

Wu Liang felt that this big yellow dog called "Fugui" might be the true dog of destiny.

Faced with such a small probability, it rescued Zhuge Xuan at a critical moment. After entering the tomb, he accidentally entered the middle formation. Then when he was about to starve to death, he met Wu Liang who came in again.

Waiting for others, saved a life...
