Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 295 It's You Again

Xiao Ran pulled his body like a soft noodle, the width was almost as wide as three Guanshan knives.The fat man was surprised and said, "Brother Xiao, what kind of magic is this? Are you going to become a mushroom too?"

Hu Bayi was also full of surprise, but he quickly stopped the fat man from continuing to ask, and explained: "This is the bone shrinking skill. When the collarbone is lifted, you have to hang your breath. At this time, you must let him talk. If you lose your energy, you will lose your breath." There is a mortal danger.”

Xiao Ran was very grateful to Hu Bayi for helping him with science popularization. He never thought that there would be any danger of losing energy while shrinking the bones, but he knew that he had to hold his breath every time he shrunk the bones, otherwise he would not be able to perform the bone shrinking skill.

After listening to Hu Bayi's explanation, the fat man nodded understandingly, and turned his head to convey Hu Bayi's explanation to Xu Er, but he saw Xu Er was casually putting on his clothes, as if the scene in front of him was already commonplace.After asking, I found out that Xu Er had seen Xiao Ran perform this kind of kung fu more than once before.

"Oh, you've either seen it or you know it, and I don't know about it when you co-authored it, and I'm an old brat..."

Fatty felt ashamed of his "ignorance", so Hu Bayi sent him another hyperlink at this time: "Fatty, I told you that there are four masters in tomb robbery, and one of them is good at this kind of bone shrinking." Kung fu, guess which one it is..."

Xiao Ran knew that Hu Bayi was dubious when he said that he was the descendant of Faqiu Zhonglang. After all, anyone could get the Faqiu seal.But these supporting skills can't be obtained by talking.Although Hu Bayi was still joking with Fatty at this time, but from the way he looked at Xiao Ran, he really believed it this time.

Xiao Ran felt that his body was almost as wide as the mouth of the well, so he hooked the flying tiger's claws to the side of the well, pulled the rope and drilled into the well.

The previous few times I used the bone shrinking exercise, it was all to drill through a narrow gap, shrink the bone in an instant and recover quickly.But this time, he had to drill into a narrow well of at least ten meters, and he needed to hold his breath to maintain this state for a period of time. He felt an unprecedented difficulty.

Fortunately, it was only a dozen meters, and he half-climbed and half-jumped down, constantly letting go and holding on, and in less than 20 seconds he reached the wide space under the narrow shaft.

He finally exhaled the breath he had been holding in for a long time, panting heavily, while "clicking" his body back to its original shape.The air in the underground was humid and had a rancid smell, and he was worried that his lungs would become moldy if he sucked in the moldy air in such a large mouthful.

When he finally got his breath back and his body returned to its original shape, he raised his flashlight to carefully check the situation at the bottom of the well.Because of the mold attached to the surface of the corpse with clasped hands, it is really impossible to tell whether it is a zongzi with meat or a bone that has rotted away.Xiao Ran always had a feeling that the corpse itself was just a large mass of human-shaped mold, maybe it would disperse into fungal scum all over the ground when he touched it.

He turned to the wall of the well along the iron chain on the corpse, and found that some unknown words were written on the wall of the well.These characters are all composed of small shuttle-shaped marks, which look like elongated grains of wheat.Through different angles and quantities such as horizontal and vertical skew, these wheat grains form text graphics one by one, and then string them into sentences of different lengths.

Xiao Ran carefully searched the memories in his mind, but he really couldn't remember seeing this kind of script anywhere, even the Ghost Cave script, which he had never seen before, was completely different from this wheat grain script.

"Brother Xiao! What's going on next? Why are you silent?"

Fatty's voice suddenly came from above, interrupting Xiao Ran's train of thought.He also suddenly realized that he didn't come to explore, but came down to find the key.There are so many unknown things in this world, it is impossible for him to decipher them all.

He took a last look at those strange grain-shaped characters, and left an impression on the largest and most frequently appearing character among them, then turned his head and shouted to the top of the well: "It stinks down here! It's killing me, I'll get it done as soon as possible." !"

Hu Bayi's voice also came from above: "Let's say a few words less, be careful."

Xiao Ran looked at those chains. Apart from his hands, feet and neck, there were four chains that went deep into the two ribs of the corpse, and two iron chains were connected under the buttocks of the corpse.

Is it worthwhile for a corpse to be tied with so many chains?How dangerous is this guy?
Xiao Ran cautiously stretched out the tip of the knife, inserted it between the overlapping hands of the bacteria corpse, and turned it lightly.

With a "crash", the fungus corpse was indeed as he expected, and it was scattered into a pile of broken bones with mold hanging on it.He quickly took two steps back and leaned against the wall of the well to prevent the rising mold from sticking to his face.

Fortunately, these molds are different from loose dust. They are all attached to the skeleton in piles and sticky with moisture. They didn't fly much before falling down quickly.

He quickly picked up the knife and rummaged through the center of the pile of broken bones.Guan Shandao's voice suddenly sounded: "Hmm... this smell is a bit familiar!"

Xiao Ran stopped searching, and asked, "What's the smell? How do you know it?"

Guan Shandao said: "I can't tell... you should pay attention to those bones."

bone?Xiao Ran rummaged through it carefully, and found that most of the bones of the fungus corpse had been moth-eaten into foam, but a few hand bones and foot bones were still relatively intact.

A flash of lightning suddenly flashed across Xiao Ran's mind, he suddenly thought, why are there so many hands and feet?

He hastened to count carefully, the places where the iron chains were tied, except for the necks and hands and feet that he could clearly see before, the other chains were all tied to the wrists and ankles.

He roughly counted, but the more he counted, the more he couldn't believe it.This fungal corpse has about six hands and four feet...

Human flies!Those human flies under Xia Niang Temple, as well as the image of the not-dead prophet instantly came to mind.The flashlight flashed across the bone piles, and a copper key stained with green rust also appeared in the bone piles.

The key handle is a hollow pattern, he picked up the key with the tip of a knife, and a familiar pattern came into view instantly.

It was a freehand figure with six hands and four legs, which looked like an ant.

He had seen this pattern countless times under the Xia Niang Temple, and it was the symbol of something that the Sanren of Tianling followed and believed in.

My previous premonition was correct, this Ghost King Temple was actually connected with Tianling Sanren.Perhaps for Tianling Sanren, this is the starting point of his madness, and it is also the first step of his in vivo experiments.

Probably because he found that although these corpses can maintain a relatively long life for humans and animals, their intelligence is gradually getting out of control, so he gave up the plan of using corpses to seek longevity.Of course, these are only speculations, and the real situation is untestable.

He carefully put the key away, performed the bone shrinking exercise again, twisted his body to the extent that he could pass through the shaft, and shook the rope by pulling it.

Hu Bayi and the others above understood, grabbed the claw hook, and pulled him up together with force.
