Chapter 1281: The End of the Ancient City
Lin Ran was concentrating on solving the puzzle. He tried several times, but one star would always be missed.
And the position of this star is right in the center.
To form a closed circuit, the stars in the center are too difficult to connect in series.
He closed his eyes. It had been a long time since he solved the physics problem.
When I was moving the stone just now, I felt that the stone was a little loose.
No more random attempts.
He simulated the scene of moving the stone in his mind, and how to connect the stars in the center.
He tried everything he could think of, but still couldn't do it.
And if you can't connect all the stars and form a circuit directly, there is no motive.
The cave fell into silence.
"If they get closer, we will be the first to attack." Lao Hei said.
"Yes." Wang Jinpeng replied. He picked up the spear he had just picked up, and Xu Ning held his short knife in his hand.
But judging from their expressions, they looked very heavy.
If it is really a giant with a height of more than 3 meters, the strength of a few of them can only deal with 5 to 6 of them at most, and they must be in a well-lit environment.
In the darkness, their combat effectiveness would be reduced by at least half.
But now I can't turn on the flashlight to avoid exposing my position.
That is to say, the sound of the underground river flowing covered up the sound of Lin Ran moving stones.
You can wait until they get closer and start fighting.
Now all hope is on Lin Ran, hoping that he will find something.
Lin Ran had already entered a thinking state at this time and could not feel other people's thoughts at all.
He had tried all the methods, and after a stalemate for a while, he really couldn't think of a better way.
He opened his eyes, feeling a little depressed.It seems like he doesn't have enough time.
At this time, his backpack hit the wall next to him, making a metallic collision sound.
It was the dagger he brought over.
This dagger was originally used for self-defense. After experiencing many dangers, Lin Ran felt that he could not just rely on Wang Jinpeng and others to protect himself, but also had to have some means of self-protection.
He took out the dagger and didn't let it affect his mood.
But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something.
Is this not a simple math problem, but a logic problem similar to a brain teaser?
He took a look at the stone slab and saw that there were indeed some newly dug marks on the lines on it!
Not all patterns were carved at the same time!
The blood inside is also light but also thick.
Thinking of this, Lin Ran made a bold guess.
He took out his dagger and scratched it back and forth on the stone slab.
A passage must be carved out for the star in the middle!
His behavior puzzled others, and they thought Lin Ran was hysterical because he was anxious.
Xu Ning took Lin Ran's hand and said, "Brother Lin, calm down."
"I've found the solution!" Lin Ran carved a mark on the stone slab. The dagger was blunt, but he also made a shallow dent.
Xu Ning let him go, and the next second, Lin Ran directly drew a dagger on the palm of his hand.
This move made others even more puzzled.
Lin Ran's palms were instantly covered with blood. He clenched his fists, approached the stone slab, and then dripped his own blood into the groove.
At this moment, the indentation he had carved just now, like the previous lines, glowed slightly.
Lin Ran couldn't understand what the principle was, but he could feel that he had guessed it right.
"Brother Lin, what's wrong with you?" Xu Ning immediately stepped forward, took out a clean cloth, and pressed it on Lin Ran's wound.
He thought Lin Ran was hallucinating again, so he hurried over to help.
Lin Ran took the handkerchief and put the dagger back into his pocket.
He smiled and said, "It should have been untied."
"Untie?" Xu Ning paused, but looked at the stone door in front of him. It was no different from before, except that there was some light on the surface.
Other than that, there didn't seem to be much movement.
Wang Jinpeng and Lao Hei were also stunned. They were at the entrance of the cave and had no idea what was happening.
The footsteps are getting closer.
Just when they were about to fight back, the stone door began to ring.
"buzzing"
There was a strange sound coming from nowhere, and the stone door slowly began to loosen and expand toward both sides.
"The door is open!" Xu Ning said excitedly.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ran actually solved the problem of Shimen. Just now, he thought that Lin Ran was just venting his anger.
However, the stone door opened very slowly. After more than ten seconds, a gap was revealed, and then it stopped.
But a gap of this width is enough for an adult to pass sideways.
Xu Ning did not hesitate and climbed in first.
After making sure there was no danger inside, he shouted outside: "It's safe inside!"
Lin Ran didn't wait any longer, he followed and got in.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Lao Hei and Wang Jinpeng ran towards the opened stone door regardless of everything.
When they came behind the stone gate, Lin Ran showed a smile.
A group of black shadows appeared at the entrance of the cave.
Lin Ran pressed the button behind Shimen.
A battery fell into his hand.
The stone door slowly closed again.
It was too late for the shadows to rush over, but they still threw their spears.
Several people hid behind the stone door, and the spears passed by them with a sound of breaking through the air.
Finally, the stone door was completely closed.
They were saved.
"Huh!" Several people collapsed on the ground. Lin Ran threw the battery and connected it to relieve the pressure in his heart.
"Brother Lin, how did you do that?" Wang Jinpeng looked at Lin Ran and laughed.
Just for a moment, he thought they were going to die here.
Lin Ran is indeed a man who can bring the dead back to life.
Lin Ran's face was also covered in sweat, and his left hand was still full of blood.
"This place is more like a high-tech town than an ancient tomb." Lin Ran said simply and clearly.
There was a knocking sound behind the stone door. Due to the thickness of the stone door, it was impossible for them to break through with brute force.
They also got some time to breathe and rest a little.
Everyone took advantage of the opportunity to take out the last dry food and ate it quickly.
Lin Ran also took this time to explain the trap to them.
Lao Hei usually has the habit of reading novels, and he looked very shocked.
"You mean, this is like a scene from a science fiction novel?"
"Do you still read science fiction novels?" Lin Ran smiled, but that was the general situation.
This stone door actually needs to be activated with electrical energy.
The battery voltage can also be activated, but after all, the voltage is low and can only be turned on a little.
There is also a button on the back that can pop out the contents of the groove.
Lin Ran used this method to take out the battery.
They are now sitting against the stone door. In front of them is darkness. They can no longer hear the gurgling water. The air inside is obviously not circulating, so that their voices are dull when they speak.
If nothing else, this should be the end point.
