Chapter 274 Spiral Staircase!Ghost hitting the wall?
The cliffs on both sides were dark and looked extremely penetrating.
However, the people in the tomb robbery team seemed very calm. They seemed to have entered similar ancient tombs before.
Zhenbao slowed down his progress and squatted down from time to time.
"You can't step on this brick. Everyone jump over it." Zhenbao said, pointing to the first step.
With that said, he jumped over with a brisk pace.
Others followed his example.
After passing by, Liu Jingfeng asked: "What would happen if I stepped on the steps just now?"
"I don't know. If you're lucky, you might fall off that step." Zhenbao answered while exploring.
"What if you have bad luck?" Wang Jinpeng asked jokingly.
Zhenbao turned back and looked at him seriously: "It's best not to do dangerous things, because if you are unlucky, all the steps may collapse."
Hearing this, Wang Jinpeng felt a chill on his neck.
Lin Ran also felt a little shocked. He had only seen similar scenes in tomb robbery movies before. As long as the mechanism was activated, the bridge they were crossing over the cliff would break.
It’s time to find other ways out.
Fortunately, there is a mechanism master in the team, otherwise, he would not see anything wrong with the steps in front of him.
Since the cliff next to them couldn't be used as a reference, they could only move forward based on instinct.
After walking for a while, Zhenbao's face showed a solemn expression.
"It's another trap, everyone, be careful to jump over it." Zhenbao jumped directly over the steps.
Others followed suit, but they were already feeling a little tired and hungry after the long journey.
I planned to go out of the steps and find a place to have a good rest.
Although eating in a tomb is a very strange thing.
But you have to keep your energy strong.
They continued walking forward, and A Ming, who was walking at the end of the team, suddenly asked in confusion: "Have we been here before?"
He took the flashlight and shined it at the far wall.
The walls here are all rock, and there are no murals for comparison.
But Amin is particularly sensitive to mountains, which is the main reason why he can be an informant.
"What's the problem?" Liu Jingfeng asked Zhenbao to stop.
He has full trust in everyone on the team.
Since Amin said there was a problem, it meant that he must have discovered it.
A Ming looked at everyone and said: "Actually, I'm not sure, but look at this rock, it looks like a hand. This kind of rock should be rare. This is the second time we have passed here."
A Ming didn't dare to confirm, but he felt strange.
Everyone was obviously moving forward, but how could they go back to where they were?
Lin Ran remembered a plot in a tomb robbery movie. Could it be that he really touched him?
"Brother Lin, what are you laughing at?" Liu Jingfeng stood behind Lin Ran and noticed Lin Ran's expression and found it strange.
"Nothing, I just remembered some tomb robbing books I had read before." Lin Ran was obviously thinking of tomb robbing movies. However, in this era, movies were not yet popular, and it was impossible for anyone to make tomb robbing movies.
In order not to make them suspicious, I made up this reason casually.
"Brother Lin really likes reading, but will anyone really write a book about tomb robbing experiences?" Liu Jingfeng and the others have nothing else to do right now, so they want to take the opportunity to chat with Lin Ran.
After going to the tomb just now, he and Huang Hao had the same idea.
If this little master can be brought into the team, their team will definitely be able to reach a higher level, and even large tombs that they did not dare to think about before can be included in the consideration list!
Lin Ran smiled slightly and replied: "It's just a folk tale, it may not be written by a real tomb robber."
"Well, is our current scene exactly the same as what he described?" Liu Jingfeng didn't know why Lin Ran suddenly remembered this matter?
I don’t even understand his intention of mentioning the novel.
"If I guess correctly, we should be taking the spiral staircase now." Lin Ran said.
"Spiral staircase?" This was the first time Liu Jingfeng heard this word. He couldn't help but asked curiously, "Brother Lin, please clarify."
In tomb robbery movies, spiral staircases often appear.
The spiral staircase is a spiral structure. The ancients used the principle that people cannot walk in a straight line in the desert and concluded that they could not fix their direction in the dark.
So we created this kind of staircase that never ends.
If they keep walking along the road, they will never get out of this secret room even if they go to eternity.
After hearing Lin Ran's explanation, everyone became quiet.
Because, after the treasure was discovered, the dangerous steps appeared ahead again.
"Indeed, as Brother Lin said, we should be trapped in the spiral staircase." Zhenbao sighed.
Even if they turned back at this time, they would not be able to return to the exit of the windshield wall just now.
This kind of design was usually considered to be a ghost building a wall in ancient times!
Entering the spiral staircase of the ancient tomb, you enter a strange closed loop. No matter how long you walk, you will always circle in one place.
This is a very clever anti-theft technique. Most tomb robbers will choose to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff due to pressure.
The cliff next to it is undoubtedly a strong psychological suggestion.
"Will it really never come to an end?" Xu Ning asked tremblingly, thinking again from the perspective of ghosts and gods.
In fact, Zhenbao was like this at the beginning, but after Lin Ran's explanation, he became somewhat clearer.
"Brother Lin, what you mean is that the steps we took are actually bifurcated, but we are all on the same path going around, right?" Zhenbao asked.
clever!
Before Lin Ran explained the principle of the spiral staircase, Zhenbao had already made a rough guess.
"Yes, as long as we can find the right way, we can get out of the secret passage." Lin Ran nodded.
"But, how should we find the way?" Zhenbao was a little confused.
He had been walking in front of the group and didn't even notice when the road forked. This was unreasonable.
"Actually, this kind of spiral staircase uses a simple infinite locking structure. The steps we take should be two different steps, but they are designed with the same shape to confuse us." Lin Ran held his chin and thought.
In tomb robbery movies, this spiral staircase is usually the most difficult level to solve.
Generally, a supporting character must be sacrificed to trigger the mechanism.
Lin Ran said: "Actually, it is very simple to go out, as long as we have a bird's perspective."
The spiral staircase will have a very secret secret path that can only be seen from the air.
Otherwise they have to try one level at a time.
In Lin Ran's era, the mystery of the spiral staircase could be easily solved using drones.
Obviously that's not possible now.
"How can we have a bird's perspective?" Liu Jingfeng said with a frown.
"Then we need to put more thought into it."
Lin Ran said to Zhenbao, "Master Zhenbao, you may have to work hard next. The exit of the stairs should be near a certain step!"
