Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 122 The queen is still alive?

The engineer shovel had already pierced the stamen, and dark green viscous juice flowed out from the center of the stamen, dripping down the shovel handle to the ground.

Thinking of the feeling of being put in a steamer and covered with a lid just now, Xiao Ran still had lingering fears in his heart.He took the water bottle from the fat man's hand, took two sips, and poured water on his face.He didn't feel hot, but the controllable coldness made him feel safe.

"Drink it slowly, don't choke anymore. Drinking the water from this Zidu dark river will make your heart cool."

The fat man grinned at Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran never thought that he would be the same as now, seeing this fat face was so kind.

Hu Bayi also drank a few sips of water, sat up unsteadily, looked at Xiao Ran with a blank face and said, "I... Ga Wa... No, I dreamed..."

Although it looked like he had just woken up from a coma, there was a kind of excitement in Hu Bayi's eyes.

Perhaps in Hu Bayi's dream, he finally rescued Gawa, and in addition to blowing up the nine-story demon pagoda, burying Dapu ghosts alive, destroying suture monsters, etc., he finally healed his wounds in Kunlun Mountains sequelae.

Xiao Ran was very relieved that this busy work was finally not wasted.

"Just now... what happened?"

Xiao Ran took a few breaths and asked the people nearby.

Everyone looked at each other, and Professor Chen said, "Just now when you tied up Aiguo and them, you and Xiao Hu stared at the corpse konjac in a daze, and then waved them with shovels. Comrade Xiao Wang and Shirley were afraid that you would accidentally hurt each other." , shot down Xiao Hu's shovel first, and Xiao Hu suddenly fainted. But you moved too fast and couldn't aim for a while, so we had to pull Xiao Hu back first. Later, you were still waving the shovel and talking nonsense Luanyu, I walked over by myself, and Comrade Xiao Wang had a chance to hug you. After that, you threw the shovel at the corpse konjac, and fainted. That corpse konjac, it really..."

The fat man then said, "It's really a disaster, it must be abolished."

Xiao Ran hurriedly asked: "How long has it been since Brother Hu and I were bewitched by it?"

Professor Chen said: "The time is not too long, probably only a few minutes."

Xiao Ran let out a long sigh of relief, which is also in line with the principle of dreaming. Although it seems that a day and a night have passed in the dream, the flow of time in the dream is far faster than in reality.

Xiao Ran said to Professor Chen: "Professor Chen, this thing is too dangerous. Even for the safety of the archaeological team in the future, it's best to eradicate it. No matter how rare it is,..."

Professor Chen didn't let Xiao Ran continue, raised his hand to stop Xiao Ran and said: "I understand, I can't be too selfish, just for my own research considerations, and turn a blind eye to the danger you encountered just now. Fortunately, everyone is safe and sound, and you are safe too." It has been wiped out. Shirley has photographed it before, enough to write a research report."

Xiao Ran looked along Professor Chen's fingers, and saw that the flower of the corpse-scented konjac was continuously flowing out those dark green thick juices, and the petals and leaves that were originally a mixture of emerald green and bright red had gradually turned black and withered.

With a bang, the shovel inserted in the stamen fell to the ground, and the withered flowers also fell to the ground.Only the green stems of corpse-fragrant konjac are connected to the Kunlun sacred tree, which is still strong and full of vitality.

Xiao Ran felt a little uneasy in his heart, and said to Professor Chen: "I feel that this thing is not completely dead, and that coffin..."

At this time, Hu Bayi's body had recovered, and Shirley Yang also came over.The professor looked at the people in front of him, sighed, and said, "We found the ancient city of Jingjue only by making mistakes along the way. With the help of everyone on the way, we were able to reach Queen Jingjue's tomb without any danger. I think I understand, our two generations have tried our best to uncover the mystery of the Jingjue Ancient Country and the Ghost Cave Clan. Now that we have come, we should do what we should do. Come according to your own ideas, just I hope you can pay attention to safety, we nerds may not get close."

The three members of the archaeological team were also relieved at this time. Hao Aiguo raised his head and said to Professor Chen: "Professor, once the coffin is opened, the remains inside may be destroyed..."

The professor shook his head: "The climate here has not changed for thousands of years, and Queen Jingjue used Kunlun Shenmu as a coffin to keep her body from decaying. If you leave without doing anything, it will be the best for us personally and for the archaeological cause." It's my biggest regret."

This is the end of the conversation, and everyone doesn't say anything anymore.Except for the fat man who was full of excitement, everyone else was full of their own concerns.

Ye Yixin untied the other three people, Xiao Ran, Hu Bayi, and Fatty packed up all their equipment, and prepared to march towards the Kunlun sacred tree on the stone beam again, while Shirley Yang stood behind the three with an assault rifle, protecting the archaeologists At the same time, they supported Xiao Ran and the others.

The three of them walked up to the stone beam, and Xiao Ran flashed his flashlight to look down. A dark cave could be vaguely seen under the stone beam. There should be a large number of black snakes inhabiting it, but there was no movement at the moment.

That being the case, let's hurry up and open the coffin to see what the queen of the Kunlun Shenmu is.

Xiao Ran glanced at the Corpse Fragrance Konjac, whose roots were still thick and green, and now this devil's flower was also quiet, and Xiao Ran always felt that it was a bit weird.

Hu Bayi checked the Kunlun Shenmu carefully with a flashlight, and found a gap. It seems that this is the junction of the coffin lid and the coffin body.

"The chain is too thick. We can only push the coffin lid forward vertically. Be careful later, don't slip and fall."

After Hu Bayi gave instructions, the three put their hands on one end of the coffin lid, and pushed the coffin lid forward while shouting.

"One, two, push! One, two, push!"

The weight of this natural coffin lid is much lighter than Xiao Ran imagined.The three of them pushed together, and without much effort, they moved a large part of the coffin lid.

Xiao Ran shone a flashlight into the coffin of the Kunlun Shenmu, which turned out to be a coffin full of red liquid, dark red and transparent like red wine.

In the liquid, there are scattered many jade pieces similar to the jade eyes in the temple, with some perforations and threads of unknown material on the edges. It seems that something similar to the golden hazel jade coat has fallen apart.

Other than that, nothing else.There are no other funeral objects of gold, stone, jewels and jade, let alone the queen's body.

"Suspicion?"

"Is this thing worth money?"

The voices of Hu Bayi and Fatty sounded at the same time. Fatty looked at the jade piece in the liquid coffin and was about to grab it, but was stopped by Hu Bayi.

Xiao Ran put his hands on the fragment on his abdomen and listened intently, but he still didn't sense anything similar. It seems that the fragment of the Faqiu seal is indeed not in the coffin of the Kunlun Shenmu.

Then there is only one question, where did the queen's body go?
He secretly asked the soul locking pearl: "Why isn't the queen's body in the coffin? Can you sense her soul?"

The voice of the soul-locking Lingzhu trembled slightly: "I can't hear it...but her power is nearby, very powerful...she...isn't dead..."

The Essence Queen is still alive? !
"Be careful next to it!"

Shirley Yang yelled suddenly, and at the same time pulled the trigger in his hand.

Xiao Ran turned his head to look at Corpse Konjac, the bullet from the assault rifle was stuck on its skin, and it couldn't penetrate it at such a short distance.At this time, it was wriggling its thick, belly-like stem, as if something was about to emerge from the withered opening of the flower.
