Chapter 1119 Triggering the Mechanism
Li Jinxing also picked up the flashlight and shone it forward. Sure enough, he saw Steve's figure, but his face was covered with dust, his clothes were tattered, and there seemed to be some wounds on his body. He looked very embarrassed.
"Mr. Li!" Steve also saw Li Jinxing at a glance and immediately waved at him excitedly.
Seeing that Steve was standing some distance away from them, Li Jinxing was about to go forward with these natives, but Steve immediately exclaimed and reminded them: "Wait, don't come over rashly!"
Li Jinxing frowned slightly and asked hesitantly, "Steve?"
"The stone slabs on the ground are loose. If you're not careful, you'll step on the trap!" Steve said this, pointing to both ends of the wall and explaining with a wry smile, "The hidden weapon is hidden in the wall. If I hadn't dodged quickly just now, I would have died here!"
The group of natives looked at each other and began to talk in low voices, as if they were discussing how to safely pass through the place where the mechanism was buried and rescue Steve on the other side.
Li Jinxing looked around and saw that only Steve was standing there. Nie Yao was nowhere to be seen. He asked in a deep voice, "Steve, didn't you come down with Nie Yao? Why are you the only one here? Where did she go?"
"Yes, we did leave together, but my senior sister accidentally triggered a mechanism on a stone door and disappeared..."
Steve sighed helplessly as he spoke. "I've been searching for a long time, but I still can't find the mechanism that triggers the stone door!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jinxing frowned even more tightly and asked in a deep voice, "Were there only the two of you here at the time? Did she disappear alone?"
"There are several other workers who were injured and have just been rescued. I still want to stay here to look for my senior sister. And I think Mr. Li, you will definitely bring someone down to look for her!"
Steve didn't expect that Li Jinxing would personally bring people down to look for the senior sister, even disregarding the danger. He was relieved for the senior sister, but her whereabouts were unknown now, and he didn't know if a stone door had locked her in a secret room!
The leading aboriginal discussed with the others and decided to go ahead and explore the mechanism...
Seeing him about to step forward, Steve quickly pointed to the road ahead and said to him in Ancient Egyptian: "Be careful, there are some loose stones, don't step on them!"
He gave the leader some instructions according to his memory. The leading native nodded and began to try to take a safe route.
The others also held their breath, not daring to be careless, and stared closely at the leading native. They saw him take several steps, which were all safe, but when he was halfway there, one of his feet stepped on a loose stone slab, and a rumbling sound was heard.
"Oh no, everyone squat down!" Steve shouted, and everyone immediately squatted down and covered their heads. Suddenly, fine and dense arrows shot out from the originally blocked wall.
The leader was quite skilled, nimbly dodging the arrows. Steve, seeing this, became worried and whispered, "Be careful with the arrows, they're poisonous!"
The barrage of arrows finally stopped after a while, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Looking up, they discovered that the leader's arm had also been lacerated by an arrow...
