246: Chapter 246 Treasure Land 16

At this moment, in Luo Yuejian's Exclusive Livestream Room:

[Holy crap, that's awesome!]

[Wait, what happened? Why did the floor below suddenly crack open?? I'm a bit lost, can some expert please explain...]

[It's simple. Moon God's blood seeped through the cracks in the floor, triggering some kind of mechanism, which caused the stone slab below to split down the middle, revealing the real space hidden underneath.]

[Blood can trigger a mechanism? Damn, that actually makes sense. But how did Moon God think of it?]

[...Where is it simple?]

[It's simple because Moon God already gave us a hint earlier!]

[What hint... which part of the story did I miss again?]

[Let me explain. Do you remember when Moon God said, "There are no corpses"? This clearly meant that since this place was set up with a trap obviously intended to kill people, it couldn't possibly have had no effect. But there were no corpses here, which obviously means they were disposed of.]

[The way to dispose of such corpses would either be to manually remove them, but the interior space of this tree is over thirty meters high. Just trying to get out yourself would take a lot of effort, let alone carrying a corpse. So there's only one answer: this place actually has an automated mechanism that can automatically clear away corpses.]

[Damn, I think I get it! If you want to automatically clear away corpses, then the corpse must trigger the mechanism effect under certain conditions! And the effect a corpse can trigger is either its weight triggering the mechanism, or the blood seeping out after the corpse is pierced triggering the mechanism!]

[I see! Because Moon God was already standing on the ground without triggering the mechanism, she determined that it must require blood to trigger it!]

[666, the experts above have such a logical analysis!]

[When I saw Moon God so decisively cut her palm with that cone-shaped spike, I knew her blood must have a major purpose. I didn't expect it to be this kind of logic.]

[Moon God didn't hesitate at all when she cut her hand; it was clear she was very confident in her judgment.]

[Seriously awesome. If it were me, even if I knew there was another space underground, I would never have thought to put myself in the perspective of a corpse and think of using blood to trigger the mechanism to leave here.]

[If it were you, you would have just been stabbed to death when you fell. [Facepalm]]

...

Luo Yuejian stood there, stunned for a full five seconds, before looking up at the spot where she had fallen from.

The spot above was less than five meters from the ground, with only a one-meter diameter opening. Two stone slabs with steel spikes were on either side, facing downward, and were slowly retracting.

And she had fallen right between those two stone slabs.

Only then did Luo Yuejian realize that there was actually a mechanism up there! As long as the mechanism was triggered, the ground would open up just like it did now, letting whatever was above fall through.

Luo Yuejian didn't actually know how she had triggered the mechanism; she still thought it was because she had pulled out one of the cone-shaped steel spikes from above that it had triggered.

It was just like before in the Underground Palace of Eternal Sleep, when she had pulled out all the arrows in front of that bronze door, and the bronze door had opened on its own.

This time was probably the same; she had pulled out the cone-shaped steel spike on the stone slab, and the stone slab had opened on its own.

But Luo Yuejian hadn't expected that this time, just by pulling out one cone-shaped steel spike, she would directly trigger the mechanism.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, wondering why she had been so fidgety with her hands. If she hadn't pulled out that cone-shaped steel spike, she would be slowly climbing out of the tree right about now.

However, she still didn't know where she had ended up. Just as she had thought before, this location was still a long distance away from the Treasure Site marked on the previous map.

So she wasn't too worried; even if this place really led to that Treasure Site, it would definitely take a long time to walk there.

Places like this Secret Room probably had quite a few mechanism traps, and who knows, they might just trap her to death here.

Luo Yuejian immediately made up her mind to thoroughly explore the vicinity, preferably triggering all the mechanisms here!

Judging by what she could see with her naked eye, the space Luo Yuejian had fallen into was a fairly large Secret Room.

There was a square stone platform corresponding to the spot where she had fallen, right below where the stone slabs above opened and closed.

After she left the stone platform, she discovered that it was engraved with dense patterns. Moreover, these patterns weren't simply carved; they were inlaid with transparent glazed crystals, making the entire stone platform look very ornate.

After noticing this, Luo Yuejian's heart tightened instantly, thinking, "Could there be some hidden mystery to this stone platform?"

In previous Miracle Escape Live Stream Games, Luo Yuejian had seen many similar mechanism setups.

Just like that big door in the Abandoned Unfinished Building game session; as long as you smashed it hard, it would shoot out Flying Daggers.

And for example, the Alice's Doll Tea Party game session, where the walls looked plain and unremarkable but would actually rotate if touched...

Anyway, in the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game, such mechanism traps were common.

Of course, if this stone platform also held traps, Luo Yuejian wouldn't be worried—in fact, she was quite looking forward to it.

But the problem was, with her weird luck, if this stone platform really had a problem, who knows, maybe touching it would open an escape passage or something?

That wouldn't do!

She was still planning to stay in this Secret Room until the end of time!

Although it seemed that this stone platform hadn't had any issues even after she had fallen from above and smashed onto it with force, Luo Yuejian still immediately made up her mind to stay far away from this stone platform from now on.

Luo Yuejian stood up and observed her surroundings.

However, because the light from the matchstick in her hand was faint, it was hard to see the surroundings clearly while holding it like this. So Luo Yuejian prepared to look for oil lamps or something similar in this Secret Room that could provide lighting.

She walked to the wall; usually, lighting tools like oil lamps were definitely installed on the walls, so she prepared to walk along the wall to see if she could find any.

Just as Luo Yuejian had expected, on every wall of the Secret Room, there were several vertical wall pillars that slightly protruded from the wall, and above each of these pillars was a lamp that could be lit.

The only problem was that these lamps were installed very high up.

Luo Yuejian was quite tall herself.

However, even in this situation, when she stretched her arm out straight, she was still a distance away from the lamp.

"I need to find something to put under my feet," Luo Yuejian thought, "otherwise there's no way to light this lamp."
