Chapter 1663 Nine Steps!
Chapter 1,663 Nine steps!
Mobile machinery?
This novel term instantly aroused everyone's interest. The faces of most people were also filled with obvious doubts.
At this time, Qiao Yejing directly explained on behalf of Lin Chen.
"If you explain this term directly, you may feel it is too unfamiliar. Let me give you a simple example...
I believe everyone knows that in ancient times, when high-status people were buried, they would put some traps in their tombs to prevent tomb robbers from stealing, right?
A common trap in ancient tombs is the mechanical trap.
For example, when you are passing through a certain passage, you accidentally touch a certain brick on the wall with your hand...and then arrows are shot from the wall of the passage.
And traps like this are the simplest mechanisms. You can simply think of it as... press the switch to activate the trap.
In addition, some prominent people can hire masters who are good at Qimen Dunjia to set up some advanced traps in their tombs.
The triggering methods of advanced traps are diverse and changeable. Here, I won’t waste time introducing them one by one.
The 'mobile machine trap' that Lin Chen mentioned just now is actually the most complex and advanced trap! And this ten-step killing formation is one of the most advanced traps!
Because the triggering method of this trap is 'moving'!
How do we understand the word ‘mobile’? it's actually really easy……
You just need to remember that the triggering method of such advanced traps will change according to the location of the intruder! Its trigger point is not static but moving!
And whether you move vertically, horizontally, even diagonally, or jump, in short, as long as you step on the ice bricks ten times, the killing array will start!
This is how the ten-step killing array is triggered!
If you still don’t quite understand, just think of the master from Tang Sect.
He used his hidden weapon to jump ten times in a row.
The distance he moved was quite long. There was even a distance of more than ten or twenty meters before he could pass through the killing formation and reach the opposite side.
However, after his tenth jump, he landed on an ice brick, activated the killing array, and died tragically there.
However, his death... also confirmed what Lin Chen and I had concluded before!
That is, if we want to pass this ten-step killing formation, all of us... can only move nine steps in this square at most!
If you still fail to pass this square after taking nine steps, then the fate waiting for you will be exactly the same as that of the Tang Sect member! "
Hearing this, Xu Hongchen frowned and raised a question.
"Wait a minute...I have objections to your conclusion!
As we said before, this killing array has a vacuum period that cannot be activated! The floating device advanced along a diagonal line for more than a dozen ice bricks before being poked and exploded by the ice sculpture soldiers. This is the best evidence!
So, if according to your inference, each person can only walk nine steps in the square, then why can the floating device move a distance of more than a dozen ice bricks?
Didn’t you say that too? Because of the pressure, we can think of that device as a person walking on ice bricks!
It was poked and exploded after it had 'walked' for more than ten steps! "
Qiao Yejing chuckled lightly and said with a smile:
"Didn't you already tell the reason? There is indeed a vacuum period in this killing array that cannot be activated.
Because it's mobile, there's 'reaction time'! Because of this, the floating device happened to enter the vacuum period when the killing array was activated, so that it could 'walk' a few more steps.
However, I want to ask you... Can any of you deduce the vacuum period of this killing array? Fifteen seconds? The Tang Sect master waited for more than fifteen seconds after each jump, but in the end he died in the killing array...
I think...you can't deduce it, right?
Then, the safest way is to only walk nine steps in the square! To be more precise, we must figure out a way to pass this killing formation in only nine steps!
This killing formation is called ‘Ten Steps’, and it’s not called it for nothing. If we have a lucky mentality, even just a little bit, the fate of that Tang Sect master will serve as a lesson for us!
If you don’t want to follow in his footsteps, I advise you not to have any adventurous mentality! Not even a little bit! "
Qiao Yejing's words were so impactful that everyone frowned.
Indeed, in front of this terrifying killing formation, no chance attempts are allowed to pass!
That Tang Sect master was just too impatient and wanted to get the ultimate secret, so he took a desperate risk and ultimately risked his own life...
At this time, the great elder suddenly asked:
"That Tang Sect master stepped on two different ice bricks with his feet every time he jumped.
If you go by your inference, after his fifth jump, he has already stepped on ten ice bricks! Why didn't the killing array start at that time? "
Qiao Yejing smiled lightly and replied:
"You ask a good question, and this is another key question.
After discussing with Lin Chen, I thought this was the key point for us to pass the killing formation! "
Everyone's eyes lit up.
The great elder even asked directly: "Don't be pretentious, just tell me directly! I don't think you will hide your methods, right?"
Others also cast eager eyes.
At this time, Lin Chen took over the conversation directly and said loudly:
"Although that Tang Sect master sought his own death, he left us a lot of useful information.
The most important piece of information is... stepping on two adjacent ice bricks with both feet at the same time can delay the activation time of the killing array! In fact, this statement is easy to understand, and at the same time, this conclusion has been personally verified by the Tang Sect master!
Stepping on two ice bricks at the same time will cause the "central nervous system" of this advanced trap to have a certain misjudgment!
And this misjudgment will cause the time of triggering the killing array to be delayed!
However, the name of the Ten-Step Killing Array is indeed not called for nothing. I believe that the designer of this killing array must have discovered this flaw, and he must have done it
Because of this, the Tang Sect expert died in the killing array after the tenth jump!
We don't have to consider the operating principle of the killing array, nor do we have to find out where the center of the killing array is, and we don't need to investigate complicated issues such as pressure. We only need to know... If you want to pass this ultimate killing array, just follow its rules!
Nine steps... We can only move nine steps in this square! One more step is not allowed! Whether you are lying or jumping, only nine steps can be given to you!
Other problems, if you think too much, will only make you more confused. Instead of wasting time and energy to guess the operating mechanism of this killing array, it is better to just follow the rules it sets! "
