Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 251 The Shining Light Ball

Xiao Ran was worried that in the process of jumping, if he bumped into something again, especially his head, his head would be dizzy, but he didn't even have the strength to throw the flying tiger claws.

So he turned on the light, put it in his mouth, and then jumped down with confidence.

During the fall, he kept looking at the opposite platform.Based on his reaction at this time, it is already very good to be able to throw the flying tiger claws when it falls two or three meters.But it was these two or three meters that allowed him to see something extraordinary.

Under the light of the flashlight, he found that the opposite platform and the overall structure of the connection below were really in the shape of a "flat".Under the platform, there is a protruding stone platform, which seems to have a collar on the natural giant stone pillar supporting the platform.And under the stone collar, there are many huge things like beehives hanging.

Not only under the platform, but even on the deeper rock walls, many beehives as big as two or three trucks bundled together fell.The outlets of these hives are decagonal, more than one meter in diameter, and the surface is covered with a gray film.Occasionally, convective wind blows up from the abyss, and the membranes make a sound like kraft paper.

These huge beehives gave Xiao Ran goosebumps all over his body, he instinctively thought that there might be living in these beehives that cannibalize people's brains and control their hosts.

In such a moment of bewilderment, he had already fallen four or five meters.Fortunately, there was a life-saving rope tied around his waist, which gave him a lot of peace of mind.After a second of panic, he quickly threw the Flying Tiger Claw upwards.Almost at the same time, the rope around his waist also tightened. It was Liu Shengli and Xu Er who were trying their best to hold him.

Fortunately, the Flying Tiger Claw did not disgrace the mission, and was indeed hung firmly in a crack in the stone on the platform.Xiao Ran quickly grasped the rope in his hand, instinctively stretched his whole body, and swayed twice on the abyss like a swing.

He wanted to take a closer look at the insect nests, and even quickly calculated the possibility of burning them, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

Not to mention how much strength Liu Shengli and Xu Er still had to hold him steady, even he himself felt that his arms were extremely hard at this moment.As expected, the sealing film on the surface of these insect nests should have entered a dormant state.As long as there is no external interference, who knows when these bastards will be able to crawl out of it?Maybe in a few years, I will be suffocated inside.

So he quickly focused all his attention on his arms.With the help of the life-saving safety rope around his waist, he used his hands and feet to climb up the flying tiger's claws, and finally climbed to the platform before the last bit of strength was exhausted.

He hadn't had food or water for too long, and with the previous fierce battles, he was lying on the platform at this moment, panting heavily, and the gold and silver stars flew together in the darkness in front of him, which was very lively.

His ears were also buzzing at this time, and Liu Shengli and Xu Er who were on the opposite side were afraid that something might happen to him, so they kept screaming.He was worried that the cries of the two would disturb the things in the nest, and wanted to stop them, but after thinking about it, the roar of the mechanism, the collapse of the platform, the pair of human fly mother and child, and a large number of living corpses falling off the cliff did not disturb those people. The insect nest, presumably the things in these insect nests need some special conditions to recover, so he let the two continue to shout, but he just waved his hand to show that he was fine.

When his breathing became stable and his heartbeat returned to normal, and there was only darkness in front of his eyes, Xiao Ran got up from the ground and strode to the coffin that looked like a fairy palace model.What he thinks now is to quickly open the coffin and hurry up.

The coffin doesn't look that big, it's about a meter long and half a meter wide.If the cover carved into the roof is not counted, the effective storage depth is only half a meter.Thinking of the stele of the immortal man in the stone coffin, it must be that this coffin has contained the bones of the tomb owner from the original tomb from the beginning.

It's just that the old bastard of Tianling Sanren, how could he have such a good intention to carry the coffin and bones upright here for offering?

Since it is to open the coffin, it is still necessary to go through the procedure first.But the candle was still in Liu Shengli's place, so Xiao Ran first asked about the Soul Locking Pearl, if there was any soul left in the coffin.

Suo Huo Ding Lingzhu denied it without hesitation, and Xiao Ran did not hear any sound from the coffin.It seems that Tianling Sanren really did not let him down. According to his estimate, most likely, the artifacts would either be presented to the prince or paid for the army. As for the bones of the original tomb owner, he probably had already rubbed them into ashes and used them as fertilizer.

So it's basically an empty coffin, and there's nothing to shy away from.The only thought at the moment is to see if there is any panacea that Xu Erxin has been thinking about, of course, this is also on the table.

Xiao Ran tightened his gloves, and carefully turned around the wooden coffin with a flashlight, but found no obvious traces of mechanism, so he stood on the side of the coffin, and exerted force with both hands.

This coffin has been opened long ago, there are no nails and wooden wedges to seal the coffin, but Xiao Ran also overestimated the two parts of the coffin cover on the palace roof, this time he almost lost his waist.

The coffin lid fell to the ground with a bang, and the contents of the wooden coffin could be seen at a glance, Xiao Ran couldn't help but widen his eyes.

It was a whole ball as white as pearls and as bright as diamonds, about the size of a human head, with many small decagonal holes on the surface.These small holes are connected to each other, so the whole ball is hollowed out. If the flashlight shines through one hole, all the holes will reflect dazzling light, and beams of light will fill the entire platform in an instant.

Liu Shengli and Xu Er who were on the opposite side were also full of praise, repeatedly calling it beautiful, wishing that Xiao Ran would throw it to them for fun.

Xiao Ran didn't dare to be careless, don't care if this thing looks good or not, it's clearly a miniature upgraded version of the insect nest model.If he hadn't seen the cart-like insect nests under the platform just now, he must have been fascinated by this dazzling treasure at this time.

He cautiously tapped the surface of the ball with the scabbard first, only to feel that the texture of this thing is not very hard, it is definitely not minerals such as gold, silver and diamonds, but it is similar to amber beeswax, like some kind of organic gemstone .

He boldly took off his gloves, and lightly touched the white ball with his fingers. The temperature was neither hot nor cold, and it felt smooth to the touch, as if touching a piece of warm white jade.

There is no discomfort on the skin, and it seems that this thing is non-toxic and non-irritating.He grabbed the white ball and pointed it at Liu Shengli and Xu Er. The reflected beam of light danced on the two of them, making them dance. Xiao Ran hummed softly, "Two fingers are like two fingers." A sky-swapping monkey, pointing at the shining light ball..."

Finally, before going out, he got a decent treasure, and went back to show Big Gold Tooth a look, maybe he could see what material it was made of.

"Old Xiao, this thing is not right, put it down quickly."

He didn't open his mouth for a long time, but at this moment, when he made a sound, he made Li Ran drop the baby he just got, which made Li Ran very puzzled.

"What's the matter? Could it be that you can hear the sound of this thing?" Xiao Ran was quite disdainful.

Yi Jiukuo said: "You are just in a daze now, listen carefully, this thing does have sound..."

At this time, another convective wind blew from under the abyss, passed through the small holes in the white ball, and a series of whistles sounded on the platform.Immediately afterwards, the dense "rustle" sound like countless rattlesnakes wagging their tails came from the abyss under the platform.
