Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 305 The Pupa in the Coffin

As the animal head looking straight ahead was pulled out, there was a muffled "click" sound from inside the coffin.Xiao Ran seemed to have realized something, and pushed up the animal head next to him looking up.

Although there was some friction due to the silt where the animal head was in contact with the coffin wall, the animal head was pushed to the top smoothly after all.

"So it is!" Xiao Ran sighed.

Hu Bayi and others beside him also came over and asked Xiao Ran what they found.After Xiao Ran shared the rules he observed with the others, the fat man immediately regained his spirits, and shouted: "I'm in charge of the other side, Lao Hu and Xu Er are at the two ends of the coffin, let's get busy!"

Each of the four was in charge of one side of the coffin, moving the animal heads in the direction their eyes were looking.The muffled "click" sounded in the coffin one after another, and the four of them were like four musicians playing the same musical instrument together.

But soon several other people discovered a new problem, and the fat man asked, "Brother Xiao, what should I do with my eyes closed?"

Xiao Ran thought for a while and said, "Try to see if you can push it in."

The fat man fiddled with it, and said cheerfully, "Sure enough, it's pushing in!"

Xu Er on the other side tilted his head again and asked, "Xiao Gang, why is there another one without eyes, what should I do?"

Before Xiao Ran had time to answer, Hu Bayi on the other side said: "Don't worry if you don't have eyes, just let it go!"

Xiao Ran looked at the row he was in charge of, and sure enough there was a beast head that had no eyes at all, the big open mouth and the upper part of the nose were smooth and smooth, and there was no gap between the beast head and the coffin wall.

In less than 2 minutes, these animal heads changed from the neat rows before to the convex and concave in the up and down.As Xiao Ran pulled out the last animal head facing the front, the coffin lid suddenly popped up slightly, the gap slightly widened, and some dried mud also fell from the gap.

The fat man looked up at the lid of the coffin and sighed, "I've caught up with the airtight door of the Kwantung Army's underground fortress, and I don't know what extraordinary person is inside."

Hu Bayi wiped off his sweat and said: "Actually, that's what I'm worried about. Although I can't see any tricks this time, the coffin was sealed so tightly and sank into the pool again. It's definitely not for hiding treasures, but more Like to hide the one in the coffin."

The fat man stretched his muscles and said, "We're not even afraid of the red-haired corpse. How could the master in this coffin be turned upside down? Otherwise, there's no treasure to take anyway. We don't have to worry about being late for a good meal, let alone a bad meal." Eat in a hurry, rest first, and then open the coffin after recovering."

Hu Bayi looked at the other two, Xiao Ran and Xu Er also nodded slightly, so Hu Ba gave the order to rest on the spot for 10 minutes, and wait for everyone to recover their strength.

Fatty and Hu Bayi squatted on the ground smoking a cigarette, this is their classic activity when they are resting.Xiao Ran never smoked, so he grabbed the jerky that was offered just now in his hand and gnawed dryly.I don't know if it was because of some essence absorbed by Yin Yang Mirror, but he always felt that this jerky tasted like chewing wax, so he tore off half of it and handed it to Xu Er, who also doesn't smoke.

"Look at Brother Xiao and Xu Er, they really deserved to have seen a big battle under that ruined temple just now, and they can eat so many dead people beside them." The fat man said while puffing out smoke rings.

Xiao Ran and Xu Er looked at each other, then looked back at the dead bones piled up on the pit wall behind them.Compared with these dead bones, the human flies below Xia Niang Temple, which look like living dead, and the gnats that suck people's brains, are so disgusting that I don't know how many times.The two experienced a shortage of supplies in the underground, and now as long as they have something to eat, they just stuff it into their mouths regardless of the occasion.

Hu Bayi smoked a cigarette and said leisurely: "When we fought in the south, we won a trench, so we had to hurry up and eat. The corpses of the enemy soldiers who were burned to death with flamethrowers were piled up next to them, and sometimes they ate compressed biscuits to cool down. Canned food, you can smell the smell of cooked meat, many soldiers who just arrived vomited on the spot, only veterans can eat dry food with the smell of meat.

"Speaking of which, once the sun had just set and we were eating military rations in the trenches, I would tell them stories when I had nothing to do. It was all about my grandfather's youth. When it came to the corpses in the barren graves suddenly deceitful, some A little soldier jumped up with a groan, saying that the pile of corpses moved. We all thought that the child was timid, but we didn't expect that the pile of corpses really moved, and then a scorched hand suddenly stretched out from inside , grabbed a nearby soldier..."

Speaking of this, Hu Bayi suddenly grabbed Xu Er, and Xu Er really jumped up with a "ow" in fright.

Hu Bayi laughed and threw away the cigarette butt, got up and said to everyone: "Let's continue working, or you will be cold later, and your arms and legs will be stiff."

Fatty and Xiao Ran also stood up, picked up the shovel and prepared to pry the lid of the coffin.Xu Er also walked up to Hu Bayi with a shovel in his hand, and asked timidly, "Why is there a hand inside? Why are you still arresting people?"

Hu Bayi did not expect to scare Xu Er out of his mind, and explained with a smile: "Because the enemy soldier is not dead, he still has a breath. But when we dig him out, he will really die." .Okay, hurry up and get to work!"

After hearing Hu Bayi's explanation, Xu Er finally felt relieved.Hu Bayi directed everyone to insert the tip of the shovel into the crack of the coffin again. This time, as soon as everyone exerted force, the lid of the sarcophagus was visibly lifted.

After several times of force, the lid of the sarcophagus fell to the side with a bang, and a puff of stale air rose from the coffin.

"Stand back!" Hu Ba shouted to the crowd.

Everyone hurried back a few steps, the fat man retched and said, "What kind of smell is this? It's not the smell of death, but a bit like the smell of feces and urine!"

Xiao Ran also frowned, the fat man was right, the coffin really felt like a cesspit had its lid lifted.

After the turbid air dissipated, the few people gathered in front of the coffin again.When Xiao Ran saw the things in the coffin, his face darkened.

It was a human-shaped chrysalis wrapped in some kind of fabric, with some cracks at the bottom, and a wine-red liquid leaked out.He is very familiar with this scene. In the storage room underground of Xia Niang Temple, there is a sarcophagus in the secret room below the steps. The human fly infant inside is wrapped in this kind of pupae, and it is still soaked in this red liquid.

The difference is that this chrysalis is much larger, and it seems that there is an adult inside.

"Fatty, the good news is that the black blind man probably hasn't opened this coffin. The bad news is that there still doesn't seem to be any magic weapon inside." Hu Bayi said.

The fat man pinched his nose through the mask, looked at the red liquid in the coffin and said, "This stuff really stinks, since there is no clear weapon, let's put the lid on it, and don't even look at things that black blind people don't want. "

Several people nodded in agreement, Xiao Ran also felt that the black blind man sneaked into the pool and did not open the sarcophagus, so he must not be targeting this thing.Even with the ability of the black blind man, he should have noticed that there is something bad in the coffin.

The four raised the coffin lid, ready to put the coffin back on.The fat man climbed directly onto the coffin, stepped on both sides of the coffin, and slowly retreated while lifting the lid of the sarcophagus.

"Fatty, can you do it? Don't step on it!" Hu Bayi instructed.

The fat man replied with a look of disdain: "The fat man's body shape is solid! Oops..."

As soon as the voice fell, the fat man was steady, but the engineer shovel behind his waist was unstoppable and fell off. The tip of the shovel was inserted straight into the cloth chrysalis, and the red liquid instantly filled the entire sarcophagus.
