Chapter 1506: Which Wicked Thing Designed These Traps?

“There shouldn’t be any mechanisms in this tunnel, right…”
“Shut up!”
Ah Can was about to say something when he was interrupted by Ye Feng. “You jinx, if you dare to say another word, I will throw you in to test the traps immediately.”
The first two times, this guy said that there was no mechanism and immediately got a reverse verification. He was simply a jinx.
The others nodded in agreement and glared at Ah Can.
Ah Can hurriedly shrank his neck and did not dare to say anything else.
Ye Feng observed for a moment and suddenly threw the dead chicken into the passage.
“Puff, puff, puff…”
The moment the chicken landed, countless arrows suddenly shot out from the two walls.
The dead chicken’s body was instantly filled with arrows.
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly retreated.
“D*mn, does this have to be so scary?” Ah Can stared at the arrows on the ground with his mouth agape. His face had already turned pale from fear.
The others were not much better. This third stage was even more terrifying than the previous two stages. If they were not careful, they might be pierced by thousands of arrows.
“This time, we’ve really come to a dead end. How are we going to pass this?” Lan Xingyue also had a face full of lingering fear. If she had gone in rashly just now, she was afraid that she would have ended up like that chicken.
“We really have no choice this time, Ye Feng, let’s retreat.” Zhuang Xiaoqiao patted her chest and started to retreat again.
Although Xu Jingxin did not say anything, her brows were tightly knitted.
Even if she was extremely smart, she had no other choice.
But Ye Feng remained silent, he only observed the passage carefully.
After thinking for a moment, he opened his backpack and took out the useless Dragon-Seeking Ruler, throwing it into the passage.
“Puff, puff, puff…”
It was another scene of arrows flying in a flurry. The sound of the movement made everyone’s scalps go numb.
However, that was not all.
When the Dragon-Seeking Ruler fell onto a tile, the tile flipped over and swallowed the Dragon-Seeking Ruler into the hole below.
“F*ck, not only are there arrows, but there are also flip boards? Who the f*ck can go in?”
Because Ah Can was too panicked, he began to curse.
The others also revealed terrified expressions.
Just these arrows alone were enough to give them a headache. Coupled with the flip board on the ground, this was hellishly difficult!
“I really don’t know which wicked thing designed these traps? If I find out, I’ll dig his grave first.” Fuuma Jianwu imitated Zhuang Xiaoqiao and waved her little fists to vent the anger in her heart.
Even Ye Feng felt that it was very troublesome now.
Under the double mechanism of arrows and flip boards, the difficulty of passing through this passage was more than ten times higher.
However, he did not stop. He threw in a few more tools in succession. Each time, they triggered the arrow mechanism and occasionally triggered a few flip boards.
“My God, why does it seem like there’s no end of these arrows?” Fuuma Jianwu exclaimed again.
“There should be an automatic reloading device behind. After each shot, the arrows would be reloaded automatically. I’m afraid they won’t be used up in a short period of time.” Xu Jingxin could roughly guess the principle behind the mechanism, but she was helpless.
“F*ck, it’s been more than 2,000 years and the mechanism still hasn’t failed. This is unbelievable.” Ah Can was more concerned about technical issues. Even some modern firearms would probably decay and fail after more than two thousand years, right?
But Ye Feng did not have the time to care about this, he threw a few tools in earlier, not to test the stock of arrows, but to observe the positions of these crossbows.
After observing for a while, he finally saw clearly that there were a total of eight crossbows in this passage, all hidden inside small mechanisms.
The problem was that if they didn’t destroy these crossbows, the arrows would continue to shoot out.
However, if he wanted to destroy these crossbows, he had to enter the passage.
Entering the passageway would be extremely dangerous.
Should he retreat in the face of difficulties or face them head-on?
This was undoubtedly a difficult choice.
The exploration team was also divided.
Ah Can and Fuuma Jianwu felt that they should retreat immediately.
“This passage is too dangerous. Under the double mechanism of arrows and flipping boards, it’s impossible to pass through.”
“Yes, if we force our way through, there will definitely be some casualties. If there’s nothing inside, wouldn’t our sacrifice be in vain?”
Both of them gave their reasons.
However, Lan Xingyue and Xu Jingxin insisted on continuing their exploration.
“We’ve already come this far. If we withdraw now, won’t all our previous efforts be wasted? I can’t accept this.”
“When you encounter difficulties, you have to solve them, not run away. I believe that the best solution can be found for any difficult problem.”
As for the four members of the Sky Wolf Squad, they did not express any opinion.
To them, Ye Feng’s opinion was their opinion.
Now, there were two votes to withdraw, two votes to continue, and four votes to abstain.
The decision was back in Ye Feng’s hands.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on his face, waiting for him to make his final decision.
Ye Feng hesitated for a moment.
It had to be said that what they said made sense.
They didn’t know what was inside the Xiang King’s secret treasure.
If there was treasure inside, then it would be fine.
However, if there was nothing inside, was it worth it for them to pay such a huge price to enter?
However, he was a little unwilling to leave just like that.
He had spent so much effort to gather the Xiang King’s secret treasure map, and now that he had entered the depths of the secret treasure, he was about to get the final answer.
If they were frightened by the difficulties in front of them and retreated in a panic, that would be too laughable.
“I’ve decided to continue the mission!”
Ye Feng thought for a moment and made his final decision.
Hearing Ye Feng’s decision, Xu Jingxin and Lan Xingyue were naturally happy.
As for Ah Can and Zhuang Xiaoqiao, they sighed helplessly but did not continue to persuade him.
Ye Feng turned around and looked at them. “The reason why I chose to continue is purely to satisfy my curiosity, there is no need for you to take the risk with me. If you want to leave, you can go back the way you came.”
When “Zhuang Xiaoqiao” heard what he said, she was a little unhappy. “Master… Ye Feng, aren’t you underestimating me, Zhuang Xiaoqiao? Am I such a disloyal person?”
Ah Can also nodded. “Mr. Ye, since we came together, of course, we have to advance and retreat together. Since you choose to continue moving forward, then I, Ah Can, am not someone who will abandon my teammates. I also choose to continue moving forward.”
After Ye Feng received their response, he felt gratified.
“Unfortunately…” At this moment, Ah Can suddenly changed the topic.
“What’s unfortunate?” Ye Feng was curious.
“I, Ah Can, am the king of thieves in the casino. If I die quietly in such a place, I would be too aggrieved. Mr. Ye would have at least three female ghosts accompanying him, while I could only be a lonely ghost.”
Ah Can’s words immediately drew the angry glares of Xu Jingxin, Lan Xingyue, and Zhuang Xiaoqiao.
