Tomb Raiders: Evacuate the Bronze Door

Chapter 21 Eating Grapes... Corpses Don't Spit Out Bones (Please read on)
The entire robbery hole was dug by Wu Laogou and others for decades, like a stairwell.

Although it was more convenient to walk, under the influence of the strange white mist at this time, the light of the searchlight gradually became distorted.

Wu Xie looked at the many obvious "humanoid" silhouettes on the earth wall, and asked in a low voice with a little numbness in his head:
"You said that these human figures were built in by the second uncle and the third uncle, and something that has undergone a corpse change?"

"Or did it exist when my grandfather dug down this robbery hole according to the map of the hidden imperial tomb?"

The fat man raised his neck and looked back and forth, then said:
"I don't know."

"But naive, according to Fatty's observation, these things may be coming out of the earth wall, right?"

"It's probably because I felt the smell of the delicious pork belly of you, a 'Wu family medicine man who has been passed down for thousands of years', and I was greedy."

Wu Xie's face turned green.

Zhou Fan looked at the increasingly useless searchlight, clicked his tongue, and threw his searchlight to the fat man.

Zhou Fan took out a few pieces of black paper from the system inventory.

On the top of these papers, some incomprehensible handwriting was written in darker ink.

These things are the "window paper" they removed from the windows on the first floor of the Zhangjia Ancient Building.

There is still a large pile as tall as one person, and Zhou Fan was not willing to throw it away before.

And he also adopted the system of "Where to go to collect the wool and where to go, trace the source".

From these weird black papers, the method of making "chaos lamps" and the simple version of the black paper lanterns that are mainly responsible for lighting are obtained.

And a technique inherited from the weird paper maker, which can make the Zhang family's unique "dirty face" mask.

Zhou Fan's ten fingers fluttered, making black paper lanterns very quickly.

The little brother, Wu Xie, and the fat man all turned off the unreliable searchlights and stuffed them into the side pockets of the backpack, ready to turn around and throw them out as bricks.

The little brother pressed his fingers on the earthen wall and trembled slightly, made a "soft" gesture to everyone, and said:
"It's not that the corpse is going to come out, it's something else."

Rustling.

Everyone held their breath, and they really heard the sound of sharp little claws digging the soil and quickly approaching them.

Wu Xie asked in a low voice with a tangled face:

"Then shall we just wait here? Or just continue to rush down?"

At this time, Zhou Fan had folded eight black paper lanterns, his hands were covered with a layer of burnt paper ash, and he patted the lanterns heavily.

puff.

No matter how you look at it, the strange and thin scarlet candlelight swayed abruptly from the black paper lantern.

But this kind of dim candlelight made everyone feel at ease.

Zhou Fan clapped his hands and handed two black paper lanterns to each of them.

Fatty Wu Xie, the little brother, looked at the black paper lantern in his hand, with a nostalgic look of "long time no see, old man" in his eyes.

Wu Xie and Fatty held up black paper lanterns to illuminate the little brother.

The little brother stared at the dirt wall in front of him.

Suddenly, the little brother suddenly raised his right hand, and inserted it into the earth wall like lightning.

The movement was as fast as a flash of white light.

The little brother stretched out his hand directly from the wall, and pinched out a struggling thing.

At this time, everyone heard the sound of a big hole being pierced from the earth wall.

Everyone gave the little brother a thumbs up.

Immediately afterwards, he turned his gaze to the screaming thing caught between the two fingers of the younger brother.

Wu Xie frowned and said:

"Why does this thing look a bit like a mouse?"

The little brother shook his head slightly and said:
"The smell of the corpse is very strong. This thing has eaten many corpses."

The fat man squinted his eyes and said:

"Smaller than normal mice, about the size of an egg."

"But, whose mouth is full of bone scum?"

"Could it be that all the corpses that were built into the wall were eaten clean by this mouse?"

Zhou Fan rubbed his chin, picked up the Seven Star Longyuan Sword, and dug casually twice along the hole that the little brother dug out.

A skeleton that was almost eaten up was dug out from the earth wall that was less than ten centimeters away from everyone.

It's just that inside the earthen wall, there is still a hollow volume of "a whole man with flesh".

Zhou Fan broke off a small piece of dry bone casually, held it like a cat teasing stick, and shook it in front of the "rat" caught by the little brother's fingers.

Immediately, the "rat" became impatient, struggling desperately like a starved ghost who had been hungry for eight hundred noodles and hadn't eaten.

Almost jumped directly from my brother's fingers.

The little brother showed a slightly surprised expression.

At this time, there was another rustling sound of scratching, running wildly from inside the earth wall a little far away from the crowd.

The fat man rubbed his hands together and asked:
"Xiao Zhou, did you recognize this thing? What is it?"

Zhou Fan nodded and said:
"I've seen this kind of thing from the remnants of "Yan Qiao Zhai" before."

"Say yes, there is a rat named 'Greedy Dog'."

"The arms are broken, the worms eat the confidant, the wind is like the wind, and the fire is like the fire, the wild tiger eats the meat, and the greedy dog ​​eats the bones."

The little brother nodded, pinched the "greedy dog" mouse to death with a little force with his fingers, and said:

"There are quite a few in the earth wall, so don't bother."

After all, the little brother signaled everyone to continue walking down with his eyes.

At this time, they heard the rustling sound that was getting closer and closer, and everyone also trotted down the burglar's hole.

Wu Xie asked in a daze:

"Greedy dog? This name is so strange."

The fat man bared his teeth and said:
"You see, naively, dogs usually gnaw bones."

"As a result, this kind of 'rat' directly took the dead body as a large fleshy bone."

"And it's eating grapes without spitting out the grape skins... No, it's eating dead bodies, including bones and dregs."

"This kind of gluttony is much more active than a dog that gnaws meat and bones. I guess that's why this rat is called a 'greedy dog'."

The little brother hummed.

Wu Xie said with emotion while trotting:

"Old Zhou, you really know a lot about such weird things..."

Wu Xie sprained his foot suddenly.

The fat man quickly reached out and grabbed Wu Xie's backpack from behind, lifting Wu Xie up.

I saw a small pit appearing under Wu Xie's feet. This small pit didn't exist before Zhou Fan ran past it a few seconds ago.

Whizzing.

Seven or eight "greedy dog" mice with bloody red eyes and bloody faces rushed out of the pit.

He flew towards Wu Xie.

The cold and sharp bone claws, with the sound of hunting wind, scratched fiercely at Wu Xie's flesh.

Wu Xie let out a cry of surprise and held it in his throat.

Swish.Swish.

A sword shadow exuding bright starlight, and a knife light shining with golden and black light.

At the same time, it flew to Wu Xie's side from two directions, one in front and one in back.

The sword, light and sword turned around, and was taken back into the hands of the younger brother and Zhou Fan.

Wu Xie wiped a cold sweat.

He looked at the corpses of the "greedy dog" rats lying on the ground beside his feet, and he let out a heavy breath.

The fat man held Wu Xie's shoulders with both hands, put him aside, pointed to the front and said:
"Listen naively, those rats that eat bones but don't spit dross are getting louder and louder."

"It's a dead end."

"Whether our brothers are feeding the 'Greedy Dog' mice or not depends on your door opening skills."

Everyone looked up, and a dozen meters ahead was blocked by a thick stone gate.

On the top of the stone gate, there are a large number of hideous and distorted human faces carved.

These human faces were carved extremely vividly, and they made the appearance of staring at everyone.

Their empty eye sockets were filled with corpse wax.
