Chapter 1908: The trap of over 700 years ago
"For safety's sake, it's best for everyone to get out of the way and don't gather at the edge of the pit. When I lift this marble slab, it may trigger possible traps below."
Ye Tian raised his head and said to the guys standing at the entrance of the pit, he was about to start to lift the marble slab at the bottom of the pit.
At this moment, he was standing on the side of the marble slab at the bottom of the pit, wearing a full set of protective clothing, wearing a gas mask, a safety rope tied to his waist, and a heavy police shield about 1.5 meters high at his feet.
The safety rope tied to him was connected to a huge stone weighing seven or eight hundred kilograms in the penance cell, and it was very strong.
As for Derek who had dug at the bottom of the pit before, they have all returned to the floor of the penitent cell, and they are also wearing protective equipment.
"Okay, Steven, be careful yourself"
David and the Bishop of Kent nodded in response, and then left the edge of the pit.
Next, Ye Tian held the edge of the marble slab at the bottom of the pit with both hands, and then violently applied his force to directly lift the heavy marble slab.
"Ka Ka Ka"
The marble slab lifted less than 20 centimeters, and suddenly from under the slab there was a sound of mechanical rotation.
Perhaps because of the age too old, the voice sounded very jerky and harsh, making people feel goose bumps and scalp tingling.
Immediately afterwards, another ‘swish’ broke from under the slate.
The first time he heard the machine's turning sound, Ye Tian immediately loosened his hands on the edge of the marble slab, quickly withdrew, and backed away like lightning.
Looking at the heavy marble slab, it crashed down and hit the bottom of the pit with a loud noise.
In the next moment, another clanging sound came from under the marble slab. It was very dense. It was the sound of arrows and javelins hitting the marble slab.
"what!"
There was a cry of exclamation in the confession cell, and everyone was shocked by the sudden change.
Before the exclamation sounded, David and the others could not wait to ask loudly:
"Steven, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, don't worry, everyone. Fortunately, my reaction is still quick. I loosened the marble slab immediately, otherwise it would have been shot into a hedgehog."
Ye Tian said jokingly, he couldn't hear the slightest nervousness in his tone, but he was a little excited.
"It's okay, Steven, everyone was taken aback. I didn't expect that there was a trap under the marble slab, and after more than 700 years, it could still operate normally. It's incredible."
The Bishop of Kent continued, apparently lingering.
At this moment, he was secretly rejoicing. Fortunately, the person standing at the bottom of the pit was not himself, otherwise Shiyou would have died, and he was shot into a hedgehog by the arrow rain and javelin deep in the secret road.
Ye Tian, who was at the bottom of the pit, looked at the marble slab again and said with a smile:
"I have to say that this is indeed a small miracle, and I didn't expect that the organ trap under this marble slab could still function normally, and it is very deadly.
Obviously, when setting up these organ traps, the Knights Templar must have spent a huge price and painstakingly, they are likely to do all the parts rust-proof treatment.
In the depths of this secret road, what kind of important secrets are hidden in the depths of this secret road, which deserves the Knights Templar to be so careful? For these, I am very interested and full of expectations"
Hearing what he said, everyone in the confession cell suddenly became more excited, their eyes shining brightly like searchlights.
After a short pause, Ye Tian's voice came from the bottom of the pit again.
"Jason, put down two jacks for me, and I am going to lift up this marble slab little by little to completely consume the arrow rain and javelin deep in the secret road and remove the danger."
"Okay, Steven, I'll put the jack down now"
Jason responded and moved immediately.
Soon, two small but powerful jacks were placed at the bottom of the pit.
After getting the jack, Ye Tian immediately held the edge of the marble slab again and lifted it up.
Almost at the same time when the machine slamming sounded again, he quickly released a hand, and pushed a jack under the marble slab to withstand the heavy marble slab.
As for the ground below the jack, the base is made of granite and concrete. It is very strong. There is no need to worry about the jack having no point of force and it will sink.
As before, there was another sound of breaking wind in the secret passage below the marble slab, and another wave of arrows and javelins flew from the darkness, shooting directly at the marble slab above.
The result was the same as before. Those deadly arrows and javelins were all shot on the marble slab, and apart from making a clanging sound, no results were achieved.
Next, Ye Tian worked like this, and smoothly put another jack under the marble slab, and lifted one side of the marble slab.
There was another harsh metal rubbing sound, and another wave of arrows and javelins flew from the darkness, and then all shot at the bottom of the marble slab with a clank.
In this way, after a few consecutive times, the secret passage under the marble slab finally became quiet, and no more rain of arrows or javelins shot out of the darkness.
Until it was completely safe, Ye Tian forcefully lifted the heavy marble slab, turned it aside, and leaned against the bottom of the pit.
At this time, a secret passage leading directly to the depths of the ground finally appeared before his eyes.
At the entrance of this secret road, there is a rusty iron fence lying flat. Each iron bar on the fence is five or six centimeters in diameter and looks quite solid.
Because of the previous wave of arrow rain attacks, the rust formed on the iron fence has fallen off in many places, revealing the iron bars inside.
At the same time, he also saw the device that triggered the mechanism.
It was a metal rod protruding from under the iron fence. The protruding end was pressed under the marble slab before, and the other end extended into the side wall of the secret passage.
Obviously, this is an organ trap triggered by pressure change.
Regardless of anyone, once the heavy marble slab is lifted, it will instantly trigger the mechanism and usher in a stormy attack.
In the Middle Ages seven or eight hundred years ago, this mechanism can be said to be very advanced. What's more commendable is that, more than 700 years later, this mechanism is still effective and deadly!
Ye Tian glanced at the situation at the entrance of the secret passage, and then said loudly:
"Guys, the bottom of the pit is safe now. You can take a look at it in batches, but you still have to be careful just in case, Jason, put down the handheld electric cutter."
As soon as the words fell, the heads of David and the Bishop of Kent appeared on the edge of the pit and looked at the bottom of the pit one by one.
When they saw the secret road appearing at the bottom of the pit, they immediately began to discuss with excitement.
"Wow! There really is a secret road here. I don't know where this secret road leads, and what secrets are hidden in the depths of the secret road? Is it a treasure of the Knights Templar? It's so exciting!"
"There is no doubt that this secret path must have been made by the Knights Templar, and at all costs, the things hidden in the depths of the secret path must be extraordinary, and it may well be another major discovery that shocked the world."
While David and the others were discussing, Ye Tian once again observed the situation at the entrance and exit of the secret passage, and then said with a smile:
"Guys, judging from the humidity at the entrance of the secret passage, this secret passage should be connected to the Thames not far away. On the Thames, there may be a very secret exit.
And the air quality in this secret road seems to be good, not too dirty, which is enough to show that this secret road has another exit, but I don’t know where that exit is."
While talking, Jason had already brought the hand-held electric cutting machine and hung it into the bottom of the pit.
Ye Tian immediately took the hand-held electric cutting machine, quickly activated it, and directly began to cut the iron fence at the entrance of the secret passage.
On the other side, the first floor of the Temple Church.
Prince William is chatting with a few other British guys, and the central topic is naturally the ongoing joint exploration.
At this moment, a sudden noise of cutting metal objects came from their ears from the entrance of the basement.
The first time they heard this noise ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Prince William, they immediately turned their heads and looked at the basement, without exception, and everyone looked excited.
"I'm sure that those guys Steven must have made a major discovery, and it's probably a secret room located deep underground, but I don't know what is hidden in that secret room?"
"I have to admit that this guy Steven is really amazing. Our two law schools have been here for more than 700 years, but we have never discovered that there are hidden secrets here.
How long has this guy Steven been here, but it took only an hour or two to find a secret room hidden deep underground. It's incredible. It's impossible to admire it."
While there was a lot of discussion, these British guys stepped out and walked to the basement entrance to see if they could enter the basement or detect some valuable information.
However, they obviously had a wrong calculation.
At the entrance of the basement, Cole and Leonardo each led several armed security personnel to stand in battle. No one should enter the basement without Ye Tian's permission.
