Chapter 1908: The Trap of More than 700 Years Ago

"For safety's sake, it's better for everyone to get out of the way and not gather at the edge of the pit. When I lift this marble slab, it may trigger the trap that may exist below."

Ye Tian raised his head and said to the guys standing at the mouth of the pit that he was about to lift the marble slab at the bottom of the pit.

At this time, he was standing on the side of the marble slab at the bottom of the pit, wearing a full set of protective clothing, a gas mask, a safety rope around his waist, and a heavy police shield about 1.5 meters high at his feet.

The safety rope tied to his body was connected to a huge rock weighing seven to eight hundred kilograms in the confession cell, which was very strong.

As for Derek and the others who were digging at the bottom of the pit before, they have all returned to the ground of the confession cell, and they have also put on protective equipment.

"Okay, Steven, take care of yourself"

David and the Bishop of Kent nodded in unison, 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 exerted a sudden force to directly lift the heavy marble slab.

"Ka Ka Ka"

The marble slab was lifted less than 20 centimeters, and there was a sudden sound of a machine turning from under the slab.

Perhaps because of the age, the voice sounded very jerky and piercing, which made the whole body get goose bumps and the scalp tingle.

Immediately afterwards, there was another 'swish' sound of breaking wind from under the stone slab.

The first time Ye Tian heard the sound of the machine turning, Ye Tian immediately loosened his grip on the edge of the marble slab, quickly withdrew, and backed away like lightning.

Looking at the heavy marble slab, it had already crashed down and hit the bottom of the pit, making a loud noise.

The next moment, there was another clanging sound under the marble slab, very dense, it was the sound of arrows and javelins hitting the marble slab.

"ah!"

There was a sound of exclamation in the confession cell, and everyone was shocked by this sudden change.

Before the exclamation fell, David and the others couldn't wait to ask loudly:

"Steven,

Are you OK? "

"I'm fine, don't worry, everyone. Fortunately, my reaction is quite quick, and I loosened the marble slab immediately, otherwise I would have been shot into a hedgehog."

Ye Tian said jokingly, there was no trace of nervousness in his tone, but a little excitement.

"It's fine, 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 was still working normally. It's unbelievable."

The Bishop of Kent continued, apparently with lingering fears.

At this time, he was secretly rejoicing that the person standing at the bottom of the pit was not himself, otherwise, most likely he would have died, and was shot into a hedgehog by the arrow rain and javelins deep in the secret passage.

And 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, this is indeed a small miracle, and I didn't expect that the mechanism trap under this marble slab can still function normally, and it is very deadly.

Obviously, the Knights Templar must have spent a lot of money and painstaking efforts in setting up these mechanism traps. They probably treated all the parts with anti-rust treatment.

In the depths of this secret passage, what kind of great secret is hidden, worthy of the Knights Templar's prudence? For these, I am very interested and full of expectations.”

Hearing his words, everyone in the confession cell immediately became more excited, and their eyes shone like searchlights.

After a short pause, Ye Tian's voice came up from the bottom of the pit again.

"Jason, put two jacks down for me, I'm going to lift up this marble slab little by little, completely consume the arrow rain and javelins deep in the secret passage, and relieve the danger"

"Okay, Steven, I'm going to put the jack down now"

Jason responded and immediately took action.

Soon, two small but powerful jacks were lowered to the bottom of the pit.

After getting the jack, Ye Tian immediately grabbed the edge of the marble slab again and lifted it up.

Almost at the same time as the sound of the bracket sounded again, he quickly freed up a hand, and stuffed a jack under the marble slab, supporting the heavy marble slab.

As for the ground below the jack, it is a base made of granite and concrete, which is very strong, and there is no need to worry that the jack will sink due to lack of force.

As before, there was another burst of wind in the secret passage below the marble slab, and another wave of arrows and javelins flew from the darkness and shot directly at the marble slab above.

The result was the same as before, those deadly rain of arrows and javelins, all shot on the marble slab, and nothing was achieved except for a tinkling sound.

Next, Ye Tian followed the same pattern and successfully inserted another jack under the marble slab, pushing up one side of the marble slab.

There was another screech of metal, another hail of arrows and javelins coming out of the darkness, and then they all hit the bottom of the marble slab with a clatter of clinking.

In this way, after several times in succession, the secret passage under the marble slab finally became quiet, and there was no rain of arrows or javelins shooting out of the darkness.

It was not until he was sure it was completely safe that Ye Tian forcefully lifted the heavy marble slab, turned it to the side, and leaned against the bottom of the pit.

At this time, a secret passage leading directly to the depths of the underground finally appeared in front of his eyes.

At the entrance of this secret passage, there is a rusty iron fence. The diameter of each iron bar on the fence is five or six centimeters, which looks quite solid.

Because of the wave after wave of arrow rain attacks before, the rust formed on the iron fence has fallen off in many places, exposing 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 wall on the side of the secret passage.

Obviously, this is a mechanism trap triggered by pressure changes.

Regardless of anyone, once the heavy marble slab is lifted, the mechanism will be triggered instantly, ushering in a wave of stormy attacks.

In the Middle Ages seven or eight hundred years ago, this institution was very advanced. What's even more commendable is that today, more than seven hundred years later, this institution 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 go up to take a look at it in batches, but you still have to be careful. Just in case, Jason, put down the hand-held electric cutter."

As soon as the words fell, the heads of David, Bishop of Kent and the others appeared on the edge of the pit mouth, looking at the bottom of the pit one by one.

When they saw the secret passage at the bottom of the pit, they immediately discussed excitedly.

"Wow! There is indeed a secret passage here. I don't know where this secret passage leads to. What secrets are hidden deep in the secret passage? Is it the treasure of the Knights Templar? It's so exciting!"

"There is no doubt that this secret passage must have been created by the Knights Templar, and no expense was spared. The things hidden in the depths of the secret passage must be extraordinary, and it is likely to be another major discovery that shocked the world."

While David and the others were discussing, Ye Tian observed the situation at the entrance and exit of the secret passage again, 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 River not far away. There may be a very secret exit on the other side of the Thames River.

And the air quality in this secret passage seems to be okay, not too dirty, which is enough to show that this secret passage has another exit, but I don’t know where that exit is.”

While speaking, Jason had already brought the hand-held electric cutter and hoisted it into the bottom of the pit.

Ye Tian then took the hand-held electric cutter, quickly started it, and directly started cutting the iron fence at the entrance of the secret passage.

On the other side, the first floor of the Temple Church.

Prince William was chatting with several other British guys, and the central topic was naturally the ongoing joint exploration operation.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise of cutting metal objects in their ears, coming from the entrance to the basement.

The first time they heard the noise, Prince William and the others immediately turned their heads to look at the basement, without exception, and everyone looked excited.

"I'm sure that Steven and those guys must have made a major discovery, and it is likely to be a secret room deep underground. I just don't know what is hidden in that underground 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? It’s only been an hour or two, and he actually found the secret room hidden deep underground.

At the same time as there was a lot of discussion, these British guys stepped out in unison and walked towards the entrance of the basement to see if they could enter the basement, or to find out some valuable information.

However, they obviously miscalculated.

At the entrance of the basement, Cole and Leonardo each led a few armed security personnel to stand in line. No one could enter the basement without Ye Tian's permission.
