Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 228 The old woman comforts
Xiao Ran managed to pick up the knife, but when he turned his head, he saw that the giant desert worm had tightened its throat. The neck, which was originally as thick as a human thigh, swelled twice, and the entire throat was as thick as a huge bucket. It seemed that he was going to be filled with acid to deal with Xiao Ran at once.

If this mouthful of acid is sprayed on his body, it will really eat away at his flesh and bones, and it can turn Xiao Ran into a puddle of mud in an instant.Seeing that there was no hope of attacking first, Xiao Ran could only dodge to the side, hoping that at least Liu Shengli and Xu Er would not be affected.

Unexpectedly, a series of loud noises suddenly came from Liu Shengli and Xu Er's side, like a broken gong.

Xiao Ran was startled by the sudden sound, followed the sound and saw Liu Shengli was holding two shovels, knocking on each other non-stop.And Xu Er next to him raised his slingshot and aimed at the giant desert worm.

"You two are going to die!" Xiao Ran shouted.

Liu Shengli and Xu Er ignored Xiao Ran, but Xiao Ran was not the only one who was attracted by the sound. They saw the short tentacles of the giant desert worm vibrate with Liu Shengli's knocking, and they kept the same frequency as the knocking sound.

Xiao Ran seems to understand that although this giant desert worm has no ears, nose, eyes, and hands, the dozens of long and short tentacles beside the mouthparts have different functions. For example, the two largest tentacles act as hands, and may also have The ability to sense smells, so the first time it came into contact with it, it used these two tentacles to explore Xiao Ran, and smelled blood.

Next to the two long tentacles are the two second-longest tentacles, and the top of the tentacles is in the shape of a larger blister and is translucent.These two tentacles are the tools that released the current just now.

At this time, there are two short but fuzzy tentacles on the left and right sides of the mouthparts, which are trembling with Liu Shengli's tapping. Presumably these four short tentacles are used as hearing tools, mainly to feel vibrations.

In addition, there are several tentacles with different thicknesses, lengths and growth positions, Xiao Ran has not figured out their uses for the time being.

Liu Shengli and Xu Er obviously didn't understand this, they were trying their luck to attract giant desert worms, and wanted to take advantage of the situation to save Xiao Ran's life.Although Xiao Ran understood these things, it was of no use. He could only lament the wonder of creation while worrying and fearing the two people's overreaching.

In order to save the other two, he had to take the risk of cutting the giant desert worm again with his knife and knife.But the desert worm was already attracted by the noise made by Liu Shengli, and turned its head towards the other two with its throat swollen.

The moment it turned its head, the arrow in Xu's second hand shot out, and it hit the desert worm's open mouthparts impartially.

The desert worm was obviously not prepared for this attack. It was directly hit in the throat by the hard arrow, and the acid it had accumulated was forced to swallow back. At the same time, it kept twitching its body, as if something was suddenly stuck in the human trachea. Constantly coughing.

At this time, Xiao Ran had already jumped up, and as the desert worm suddenly lowered its head, the knife in his hand slashed along the edge of the mouthparts, not hitting the body of the desert worm, but cutting off a few tentacles.Those tentacles landed on the ground, bouncing like life on the ground.

The desert worm was first hit by a slingshot, and then cut off almost a third of its tentacles by Xiao Ran, including the longest tentacles and two fluffy tentacles serving as ears. It immediately raised its head, its body trembling constantly.

"It's not over yet!"

Liu Shengli shouted loudly at this time, dropped the two shovels, picked up the lasso rod that Xu Er had brought all the way, swung the top pocket, and put it on the mouthparts of the desert worm.

The desert worm was still in pain intertwined internally and externally, and Liu Shengli caught the whole head without warning.It kept raising and taking off its head, and swayed from side to side, trying to break free.The remaining long tentacle was also struggling in the pocket at this time, and it was about to open the cloth bag.

Xu Er saw that Liu Shengli could not control the rod by himself, so he put away his slingshot and rushed over. Together with Liu Shengli, he held the rod tightly and pressed down, trying to ensure that the desert worms could not break free.

The more they pressed down, the more the desert worm straightened up, and a few sections of its body that had been hidden in the sand were pulled out again, like a crimson pillar of flesh swinging against the pocket.

"Xiao Gang! Hurry up! I can't stand it anymore!"

Xiao Ran was stunned by the sudden burst of courage, resourcefulness and tacit understanding between the two, for a while he was only engrossed in watching the show, and even forgot that he should continue to attack.

He saw that the desert worm kept stretching its body at this time, and the carapace between the two parts of the body was also separated from time to time, exposing the defenseless body in the middle, and he knew that the opportunity had finally come.

Taking advantage of the remaining warmth of the Guanshan knife, he spotted the moment when the desert worm elongated its body, and with a violent shout, the knife swept across the cracks in the desert worm's carapace.

This time, he slashed like cutting tofu, and the Guanshan knife slashed and slid across the desert worm's body, barely touching a trace of body fluid.The blade slashed out horizontally, Xiao Ran hurriedly took two steps back, the body of the desert worm was severed in the middle, and then yellow, green and green liquid gushed out from the wound.

"Get out of the way!" Xiao Ran shouted to Liu Shengli and Xu Er.

Seeing the upper half of the desert worm's body limply falling from the cloth pocket at the top of the pole, the two of them knew that the encirclement attack had finally worked, so they quickly retreated to the corner, their legs limp and paralyzed on the ground.

Half of the body of the desert worm landed on the sandy floor of the passageway, and the acid liquid accumulated before also gushed out along the wound, burning the rats mixed in the sand till they were smoldering, and the air was suddenly filled with the smell of burning protein. Sour smell.

Xiao Ran slapped his nose and carefully checked Guan Shandao.The blade of the blade is really not stained with blood, and he is very grateful for this.As long as the Guan Shan knife is not sharp enough, or one's own strength is almost lacking, the Guan Shan knife may have been melted in half by now.

He listened carefully to Guan Shandao's voice. The rough man had already started to sing about the drunken concubine with his throat squeezed. It seemed that he hadn't been affected at all, so he quickly disconnected to listen.

Liu Shengli and Xu Er were panting and slumped on the ground at this time, especially Liu Shengli, whose thighs were still shaking.

"According to... the manager... the two of us..."

"You two are doing well. It's not easy. Hurry up and have a good rest!"

Xiao Ran really didn't expect that at such a critical moment just now, how the two of them could formulate this strategy after another in an instant.Perhaps this is the success of the team's running-in. In the face of danger, the two can cooperate with each other tacitly based on each other's abilities and the tools in their hands, and they can quickly reach a consensus based on on-the-spot judgment.

These two boys are reliable, Xiao Ran suddenly felt comforted.

Seeing Xiao Ran affirming himself with a smile all over his face, Liu Shengli let out a long sigh of relief, lying on the ground covering his thumping chest, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

This has not entered the underground palace yet, and the corridor is so dangerous, I really dare not think about what kind of surprises that old pervert Tianling Sanren has left in the depths.Seeing that both of them seemed exhausted, Xiao Ran simply sat down and rested with them.

After the rest, you still have to find a way to pass through the tunnel.Only by activating the correct mechanism can we avoid any further troubles in the middle.

While pondering, Xiao Ran checked the burns on his hands.But Xu Er who was next to him suddenly widened his eyes, pointed behind him and said, "Xiao Gang, behind you..."
