Blood Candle Keep Disciple

Chapter 178 Su Chang's End

Navis cautiously squeezed over, half of his body was hidden behind Zhen Cheng, and he was pulling the wide cuffs of the Hanfu with both hands, only a pair of big yellow and round eyes protruding from Zhen Cheng's shoulders were watching.

It was obvious that she had been spooked by the cursed trap.

However, after staring for 3 minutes, Naves gave a clear and positive answer: "It's here, push it down."

Alogens was speechless, and wanted Navis to give her the position behind Zhen Cheng.But she didn't want to destroy the character design yet, so her thigh muscles suddenly swelled, and she kicked the stone that weighed at least a hundred catties into it.

In the next second, the platform under the feet of several people seemed to be emptied from the bottom, and Ku Cha fell down.The sense of weightlessness struck, Navis subconsciously wanted to grab Zhen Cheng, but Alogens took a step faster and had already protected Zhen Cheng in his arms.

But when she tried to use her free hand to take out a dagger and stab into the wall to avoid falling, the three of them bent their legs at the same time, and the heavy impact came, causing Navis' legs to go limp and to sit on the ground.

Her judgment was not wrong, and what Logansi activated was not a trap, but a direct connection to the lowest level mechanism.

However, after the impact, the ground did not stop, but fell weightlessly again.The next second, another emergency stop...

After 1 minute, the three of them were completely used to this weird experience as if they were descending in an elevator, but each floor would stop for a while.Correspondingly, the platform on which the three of them stood was steadily sinking deeper and deeper into the ground.

During the continuous violent vibrations and impacts, Ai Luogensi's legs remained motionless as if they had been driven into a rocky foundation. She hugged Princess Zhen Cheng again, saving her from most of the shocks.

Navis, on the other hand, simply sat cross-legged, sharing the impact with his thighs and buttocks, using the largest muscles in his body to absorb the shock.She felt that if it lasted for a few more minutes, her small body might be torn apart.

"The ingenious design," Navis endured the dizziness that almost concussed, and reluctantly looked at Zhen Cheng and said, "Scarri's ancestors used the craftsmanship of ancient times to design this perfect balance system.

The support structure of each floor is just enough to block the falling force of the floor in an instant, and it will inevitably break with the impact force, allowing the platform we are on to continue to fall to the next support point.Repeatedly, the people on the platform are sent to the depth of the target alive at the fastest speed.

Even better, under the weight of the platform under our feet, whether there is one person or ten people standing on it, the difference in weight is negligible compared to the boulder floor under our feet, and it does not affect the precise functioning of the load-bearing structure at all.

As for more people forcibly squeezing in together, that kind of situation did not exist in Scarui's design.Because in theory, only the direct bloodline successors of Scarri can come in.The rest had already turned into stone statues in the long corridor just now.

If we get out alive and announce the discovery of a BC escalator, the archaeological world will absolutely go crazy. "

Of course, not all of the supporting structures have remained intact over at least thousands of years of erosion.Up to now, Zhen Cheng has experienced twice that the support structure of a certain floor has been worn out, and it has not been able to play the role of load-bearing and deceleration at all.

But after falling to a height equivalent to two floors, they were immediately fully cushioned on the next floor, and quickly returned to their normal frequency after the next two or three slightly out-of-control falls.

It can be inferred that Scarui's ancestors had already considered insurance measures for possible accidents thousands of years later, which is a bit scary.

Navis and Zhen Cheng looked at each other, their faces were not very good, because they also thought of a serious problem.

It's not a question of how to get out, it's not the time to think about it for so long.When the dust on the ground settles, someone will naturally find a way to take them out.

What Zhen Cheng was thinking about was the reason why the ancient Scarui people built the underground palace here.

Generally speaking, no matter how deep underground you need to go, building circular stone steps along the side wall of the shaft is undoubtedly the most labor-saving and effective way.

There are only three reasons for this apparently ingenious platform design.

First, the builders are demonstrating their material science, architecture, and mathematics culture beyond the times.It has to be said that this is indeed a work worthy of their pride.

However, the ancestors of Scary used this kind of one-off building to pass on their cultural memory when their brains were pumped.Not to mention that after it is used up, future generations will no longer be able to realize the ingenuity of this building, and it is already very deviant to say that it is designed as a secret passage.

In fact, if it wasn't for Navis' accidental discovery, this secret passage would probably be sealed for billions of years, and no one might discover it until the entire planet dies.

Second, in order to send the people on the platform to the underground target as quickly as possible within a limited time.

This is obviously unlikely, after all, no matter what is hidden in the ground, it has been waiting there for at least thousands of years.In any case, it doesn't make sense. It's just a few hours for a few people to slowly climb down the stone steps, right?
In the end, then, the scariest and only reasonable explanation leaves only the third point.That is...to make it impossible for people who ride on the boulder platform to come and go.

There are many reasons for such a design, such as allowing future generations to have the awareness of sacrificing themselves before they can touch the bottom;

For example, after seeing something below, it will surprise the descendants who try to come down to touch or use that thing, so that it looks like running away, but for some reason, the person who sees the secret cannot be allowed to leave;

Or those who come down will definitely die, and there is no need to go back at all.

No matter what the reason is, it is undoubtedly a very bad situation for Zhen Cheng and his party.

The continuous falling and sudden stop lasted for nearly 10 minutes.Until Zhen Cheng felt that he would fall to the center of the earth in this way, the ground finally stopped completely.

In the long shaft, they also saw the only exit.It was a natural rock cave corridor. The erosion of the underground water channel made the corridor look different from what it looked like thousands of years ago, but some things remained.

The natural stone corridor is not very long. Under the guidance of Zhen Cheng's mobile phone light, the three of them walked five to sixty meters and saw traces of artificial carving.Continuing to walk, they soon came to a hall polished by stone bricks.

On the stone bricks around the main hall, there are also murals.It was a large colorful painting with rare characters similar to an ancient Egyptian tomb.

Looking at the content depicted on the mural, the three of them were inexplicably shocked.
