Chapter 756: Cracking the Mechanism

Zuo Feng pushed the stone table again very carefully, but the stone table seemed to be there, and it did not move at all.

If it were someone else, they would probably suspect that the tilt of the table before was just an illusion. Zuo Feng certainly would not think so. He was still very confident in his feelings. Although it was only slightly tilted, he could guarantee that the table had indeed changed just now.

He stretched out his hand again, but did not try to rotate it. Instead, he pressed down slightly according to the position where he had just sat. I saw that the originally very solid table suddenly tilted downwards a little, but after tilting to a certain extent, it would quickly return to its original shape.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Feng's eyes lit up slightly. This change was enough to prove that his guess was correct. Although I don't know why there is such an arrangement, it is obvious that there must be something strange about this stone table.

This time, Zuo Feng did not rush to press the table, but leaned down and carefully observed the place where the table top and the corner of the table touched.

There is a stone pillar supporting the bottom of the stone table. Only by leaning down and observing carefully can you find that the stone pillar looks very thick. If you want to support this stone platform, there is no need to use such a thick stone pillar. Obviously, there are still some problems.

After Zuo Feng carefully observed the stone table, he found that this was not a formation or rune, but a kind of mechanism.

The mechanism is generally considered to be a minor path on Kunxuan Continent, because the mechanism is a kind of existence derived from the basis of refining. There are many kinds of mechanism, and unlike refining medicine and refining, it does not require a high threshold. As long as there are certain resources, it can be studied.

And there are many kinds of mechanism, attack, defense, confidentiality, traps, etc. are too numerous to list.

When he was in Xinjun City, Zuo Feng found a batch of poisonous smoke and fire weapons. This is an application of mechanism, and this poisonous smoke and fire weapon can be regarded as a more domineering attack type in mechanism.

In addition, there is a defense-based mechanism. The confidential basement built by the family will install some mechanisms to prevent outsiders from entering. This belongs to the confidentiality type. At the same time, some trap-type mechanisms will be appropriately placed in these basements.

Just like the underground nest that Zuo Feng found in Jinyan Mountain, it was a passage opened by the mechanism, and there were traps installed at the bottom of the passage. All of these belong to the application of mechanism. Although Zuo Feng did not have much contact with it, he still knew a little about it.

The stone platform in front of him was an application of mechanism, but Zuo Feng did not study mechanism much, so he could not find a way to open it for a while.

However, Zuo Feng was very careful and would not give up easily just because he could not find a way temporarily. While he kept trying to press the tabletop, his eyes were also closely locked on the changes between the tabletop and the stone pillar below. At the beginning, Zuo Feng did not find a good way, but as he continued to observe, he soon found that every time the stone platform was pressed, it would make a burst of "clicking" sound.

This sound was very small. If Zuo Feng had not crouched down and was close to the bottom of the stone platform, he would not have heard this small sound at all.

After hearing this sound, Zuo Feng's heart moved, and after he stretched out his hand to press the tabletop, and then at the moment when it was about to lift up, he immediately pressed along the tabletop to the side. However, the huge rebound force did not give Zuo Feng a chance to press it, and it returned to its original appearance.

Seeing this, Zuo Feng was not discouraged, but pressed it again to the original position, and then he pressed it again in the opposite direction. This time, there was an immediate change, and the desktop kept tilting in the direction where Zuo Feng pressed again, and this time the tilt was a few points larger than before.

With this discovery, Zuo Feng also showed a happy expression instantly, and then continued to press in the same position in this direction.

Every time he pressed the desktop, it would tilt in a new direction, and the angle of each tilt was a few points larger than the last time.

After pressing it several times, Zuo Feng pressed along the desktop until he returned to the original position. A clear "click" sound came from the place where the stone pillar and the stone platform touched, and the entire stone platform immediately returned to its original appearance.

Although it seemed to be restored again, there was no difference from before. But when Zuo Feng leaned down to observe, he could clearly see that there was a clear gap between the entire tabletop and the stone pillar, and it looked as if the entire tabletop had risen by half an inch.

Zuo Feng knew that he should have solved the mystery. He slowly straightened up, took a deep breath, and then stretched out his hands to grab the tabletop and exerted a little force, and the entire tabletop was lifted up by him.

Without the restraint of the prison lock, Zuo Feng's strength was terrifying, and the strength between his arms even exceeded a thousand pounds. Before, the tabletop could not be shaken at all, but now it was easily moved away by Zuo Feng.

It seems that the tabletop and the stone pillar were locked together because of the mechanism before. Now that the mechanism has been unlocked, the stone platform can naturally be easily removed.

He slowly put the opened stone platform to one side, and then Zuo Feng looked at the stone pillar. There were countless small hook-mounted metal buckles around the stone pillar. These metal buckles seemed to be the mechanism used to fix the tabletop and connect it to the stone platform.

These Zuo Feng didn't pay attention, but stared at the center of the stone pillar. In the middle, a circular groove came into view, and the items in the groove made Zuo Feng take a deep breath.

A crystal that exudes emerald green light lies quietly in the groove in the center of the stone pillar.

"Spirit Gathering Jade Crystal"

Zuo Feng exclaimed in disbelief. He did not expect to see such an item here. When the city lord activated the formation before, he had taken out several spirit-gathering jade crystals, but the spirit-gathering jade crystals he used were only the size of a baby's fist.

But what Zuo Feng saw in front of him was almost like an adult laughing while holding hands. Not only Zuo Feng had never seen such a large spirit-gathering jade crystal before, even the three people outside believed that they might not have seen it before.

Zuo Feng was a little excited. He slowly reached into the stone pillar, gently took out the Spirit Gathering Jade Crystal, carefully held it in his hand and raised it to his eyes.

This spirit-gathering jade crystal itself is extremely strong. It is said that even if a Qi-sensing warrior uses his weapon to strike with all his strength, it will not leave the slightest trace on it. However, no one has confirmed this statement. After all, no one would be crazy enough to experiment with a piece of Spirit Gathering Jade Crystal.

Of course Zuo Feng had heard this statement, but he was still very careful. After all, the items he held in his hands were priceless.

In addition, he had to be careful, after all, the items in this pavilion might be related to the entire ruined world. Once you take away this Soul Gathering Jade Crystal and have an impact on the world, it will be useless even if you get the best treasure.

Fortunately, Zuo Feng had been observing silently the entire process of taking it away, and no abnormality was found. In this way, he felt relieved and could take away the Spirit Gathering Jade Crystal without any scruples.

Putting the spirit-gathering jade crystal in the palm of his hand, Zuo Feng looked at the surface of the crystal carefully as the light came in from outside. The entire piece of Spirit-Gathering Jade Crystal looks like a flawless piece, but it has seemingly regular edges and corners, and then the light will emit a beautiful colorful glow.

While observing, Zuo Feng's eyes widened suddenly, because when the light passed through the entire piece of Soul Gathering Jade Crystal just now, he discovered that there were actually traces of golden threads in it.

‘This is actually a jade crystal that is close to the Spirit-Gathering Golden Crystal. The quality is a bit too high. ’

There are also Soul-Gathering Golden Crystals on top of the Soul-Gathering Jade Crystal, which Zuo Feng has heard of before, but just like the rarity of the Jade Crystals, the Golden Crystals are even more pitiful. Although the quality of this jade crystal has not yet reached that of gold crystal, there is already a trend of transforming into gold crystal, so its value has once again climbed to a higher level.

Seeing this, Zuo Feng was filled with joy and put it tightly into his arms, placing it together with the blood cocoon where Ni Feng was.

After putting away the Soul Gathering Jade Crystal, Zuo Feng was ready to put the stone table back to its original place. But just as he picked up the stone platform, he hesitated again, and then put the stone platform back to its original place.

He had originally considered whether taking the Spirit Gathering Jade Crystal would affect his return to Linshan Villa, but since no abnormalities were caused after taking it away, it meant that it should not have any impact.

But at the same time, he thought of another question: Could it be that the stone platform mechanism of this pavilion was just to store the spirit-gathering jade crystal. This Spirit-Gathering Jade Crystal is certainly precious, but setting up such a set of mechanisms and placing it in this ruined world seems a bit fussy.

‘Are there other items here? If there are, their value is probably higher than this Spirit Gathering Jade Crystal. ’

He was thinking secretly in his heart, and even Zuo Feng was shocked by his thoughts at this time. But after a second thought, he felt that his conjecture was not impossible.

After this thought came to his mind, Zuo Feng felt his mouth became dry, and a thin layer of sweat began to form on his palms unconsciously.

With this thought, Zuo Feng turned his eyes again to the stone pillar where the Spirit Gathering Jade Crystal was previously stored. If what he guessed was correct, then there might be another mystery in this stone pillar.

When I was reading anecdotes from the mainland, a senior once mentioned that there were some secret places that preserved precious things. He would use a very clever method to put inferior items outside. When someone found the inferior items, they would take the treasure and leave complacently, thus ignoring the more important treasures.

This method is not very complicated, but it often confuses some veterans.
