The chanism can now be activated.
"Alright, let’s activate the chanism quickly."
"Yes, activate the chanism quickly." Wang Lei said while walking towards the chanism, "I always feel like there’s definitely treasure here! The Red Mist we encountered was just a trap for the treasure. Now that we’ve passed the trap, as long as we trigger the chanism, the treasure will reveal itself!"
"Your idea does make so sense." Xu Xin smiled, noncommittal.
He hadn’t forgotten the scene depicted in Ji Chaoyang’s prophecy.
Ultimately, he saw Xue Lan there.
What secret does this place hold?
Soon, everyone was in position.
Xu Xin was the last to step onto the gravity chanism.
With a "ka" sound, the iron tile beneath his foot began to sink.
Finally, after sinking twenty centiters, another "ka" sounded, and the entire tile lit up, flickering with blood-red patterns.
At the sa ti, the entire floor suddenly vibrated.
"Yikes!" Keke yelled, glanced at the floor, and tilted her little head.
Then, the vibration began continuously!
"Oh, what’s happening?" Zhao Xiaochuan called from the other side of the room.
"Has the chanism been triggered?" Wang Lei observed all around, "Can we leave this thing now?"
"Don’t leave yet." Ji Chaoyang stopped him.
The continuous tremor made them all slightly anxious as they observed the changes around them, fearing that an attack-type chanism might appear.
At that mont, a change occurred.
In the very center of the room, a twenty-centiter-thick tal column quickly rose to the ceiling, making a crisp sound of tal colliding with tal!
The sudden change made all six of them standing on the chanism startled.
"The chanism is coming!" So even pulled out their weapons, ready for action.
But the situation wasn’t as they imagined.
There wasn’t an attack-type chanism; instead...
The originally smooth tal floor beneath the column suddenly cracked!
Yes, the floor suddenly opened up with several cracks!
These cracks extended straight out from the center of the room, totaling six, dividing the room into petal-shaped sections!
And each section was precisely where they all were standing!
Next, the floor beneath them shook violently again!
"What the heck is happening? Is this iron room about to transform?!" Wang Lei exclaid.
"Look at the cracks!" Lou Fei’Er cried out.
Everyone looked towards the surrounding cracks.
From the six cracks, six tal walls, each just a few centiters thick, slowly rose.
No!
It’s not the walls rising, but the platform below them sinking!
Those few centiters thick tal walls were already beneath the ground, now just revealing themselves due to the sinking floor!
If this continues to sink...
They will be directly separated by these walls!
Very soon, they sank at least two ters, unable to see the figures of others!
"This chanism wants to separate us!" Wang Lei instinctively took a step closer to the wall and stepped off the chanism.
"Ka!"
The entire space suddenly echoed with a sound as if gears were jamd.
Then the arrangent in the entire room started to reverse as if ti were flowing backward.
However it changed before, it’s now reverting back.
The six of them saw each other again.
"Ah...!" Wang Lei was about to go back.
"No need." Ji Chaoyang stopped him and also stepped off the chanism.
Xu Xin directly pulled out his lance and slashed it against the few centiters thick iron wall.
"Sizzle!"
The bright sparks from tal collision illuminated the surroundings.
Xu Xin looked at the wall continuing to sink with only a white mark scratched on it and sighed.
The wall, like the room, couldn’t be destroyed either.
Finally, the entire iron room returned to its original state.
Everyone walked out and gathered together again.
"After the chanism activates, we will be separated." Ji Chaoyang frowned, "After that, we might have to explore independently."
The scene in his prophecy was indeed going to happen.
Unavoidably, it was going to happen.
Every ti he tried to avoid exploring alone, it ultimately didn’t work.
Xu Xin glanced again at the passage that was originally the exit.
There, smooth and flat, no trace of a passage could be seen.
There’s no escape route in this room anymore.
The only thing they can do now is completely trigger that chanism.
But that chanism will certainly separate the six of them completely.
"...I wish I had brought a few more people down." Wen Guixin rubbed her head and sighed.
"Bringing more people might not necessarily help." Xu Xin shook his head, pointing at the original exit location, "There, maybe after six people entered, it would lock up?"
The entrance closed after exactly six of them entered.
Perhaps, this dungeon requires six survivors to trigger but also only allows six people to enter.
"There’s no choice, we can only explore alone; hopefully, the watch can still be used." Zhao Xiaochuan also sighed.
