Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 311
After resting for a while, they climbed up the stone steps in the mountain like a journey to heaven.

The stone steps seem to be endless. Hu Bayi reminds everyone, don't count the number of stone steps, just climb with your head bored.Once you start counting, you have a utilitarian idea of ​​how many steps you have climbed, and the next thing you think about is how long you have to climb, how many more steps to climb to the end, etc., and then get yourself down from exhaustion.

It was fine if he didn't say it, but now that he said it, the other three people more or less started counting. As expected, not long after he finished speaking, they sat down and continued to rest.

"No...it can't be done...take a break...my eyes are full of gold stars..."

The fat man squeezed the backpack, leaned against the steps with his eyes closed and rested on the back of his waist, breathing heavily as if he was snoring, snoring non-stop.

A gust of cool wind blows from the top of the head, Hu Bayi raised the flashlight and turned around to take a picture. The place where the flashlight can reach is a corner, and the steps continue to go up along the back of the corner.

"Why is it windy? Is it coming to an end?" Xiao Ran asked.

Xu Er jumped up from the stone steps and shouted, "I'll go and see!"

He jumped up and down, and the fat man seemed to be half asleep and half awake. He raised his head and said in a dream, "What passed..."

Xu Er ran all the way to the corner, shone a light on the top of the steps with his flashlight, his eyes widened suddenly, and he walked down three steps at a time.When he walked up to several people, his knees gave way and he almost rolled down the steps.

Xiao Ran stood up abruptly to stop him, and asked, "Have you seen a ghost? Are you still in such a hurry to go to hell?"

As soon as Xu Er heard it, he pointed to the top and said, "There is... a green light on it, it seems that there is a ghost..."

When Xiao Ran and Hu Bayi heard this, they immediately became nervous and quickly got everything ready.Hu Bayi kicked the fat man and said, "Copy guy! Xu Er said hell!"

When the fat man heard this, he turned over, put his backpack on his back and held the gun in his hand, as if the few minutes of nap just now were enough for him to fully recover.

Hu Bayi climbed up little by little in front of him, then called Xu Er to his side and said, "What green light did you see? It could fly or something?"

Xu Er swallowed his saliva and said, "It's not flying, it's like a lantern, a green lantern, but it can fly..."

"Can you fly or not?" Xiao Ran lightly tapped Xu Er's head.

Xu Er shrank his neck and said, "I didn't see clearly...it seems to be able to fly..."

Hu Bayi didn't ask any more questions, and when he reached the corner, he first pressed down his hands to signal everyone to stop, and then waved to the fat man to come closer.

The two raised their shotguns silently, and Hu Bayi whispered, "One, two, three..."

After counting three times, Hu Bayi suddenly raised his gun and rushed out of the corner, pointing the gun at the top of the steps.The fat man also took a quick step upwards, half kneeling beside Hu Bayi, and also raised his gun upwards.

The two looked at each other for a while, their expressions relaxed, they put down their guns silently and said, "It's just two broken lanterns, but the light is indeed green..."

Seeing that the danger was lifted, Xiao Ran also walked outside the corner, and there seemed to be another straight passage above a dozen steps, with a faint green light flashing inside.On the outermost side of the passage, there are two broken lanterns hanging on the left and right walls, and green light is also emitted from the lanterns.

At this time, there was a breeze blowing from above, mixed with the unique freshness and coldness of the mountains.Several people temporarily relaxed their guard and walked all the way to the top along the steps.

In front of him was a passage more than [-] meters long. At the end, there was a stone door leading to the outside. However, there were green lanterns hanging on both sides of the passage, most of which were broken.Above these lanterns, there are small openings, from which the sky outside can be seen from a distance.The previous wind was blown from these openings that were smaller than the lanterns.

Hu Ba moved his head closer to the lantern next to it, looked inside from the damaged part, and saw a few green stones inside.It was these green stones in the lantern that made the whole passage so ghostly.

"Old Hu! Is this something... Ye Mingzhu! Is it worth money?"

Fatty was also watching from the lantern next to him, his face full of excitement and curiosity.Seeing Fatty's excited and joyful look, Xiao Ran really didn't want to disappoint him, so he said, "If you look at it fresh...you can lie on the ground and have a look..."

Hu Bayi interrupted: "This thing is an ordinary fluorite. When it is illuminated by external light during the day, it will glow at night because there are phosphides in it. The stronger the light of this kind of thing, the higher the radioactivity inside. , not to mention whether it is worth money or not, it is harmful to the human body. Fatty, take care of your hands and don’t touch it randomly.”

The fat man withdrew his hand resentfully, and Xu Er said at this moment: "I... I'll come too..."

Xiao Ran followed the place Xu Er was looking at, and saw the words "I'm coming" engraved under the lantern on the left.The engraving of these three characters is still very fresh, and it should be engraved by Hei Xiazi without accident.

He shone the flashlight to the other side again, where the words "I'm coming" were engraved with the words "I'm leaving".

"This black blind man really has a bad taste..." Hu Bayi said.

The fat man quickly followed suit and said, "That's right! Poor and boring, a person who has left high-level tastes!"

Xiao Ran was amused, no matter what the fat man said, it sounded like he was talking about himself.But he thought of Hu Bayi's words again, "A black blind man is not blind. From Xu Er's narration and what they saw along the way, he can infer that although the black blind man always looks cynical, he never does anything superfluous." It's definitely not because of being too idle to engrave these two sentences.

Sure enough, when he turned to Hu Bayi, Hu Bayi had already started to carefully examine the walls on both sides of the passage with a flashlight.

"This black blind man left two sentences on the wall. It should be the same as Luoyang Shovel. It is to leave some information... What do you think it is?"

Several people looked in the direction Hu Bayi pointed, and besides the two lanterns, there was a stone slab embedded in the wall on the left and right, and there seemed to be something engraved on it.

They simply didn't stay where they were, and strode to the side of the stone slab, squatting down to watch carefully.

On the stone slabs on both sides, there is a little ghost dancing with hands and feet, with pointed ears and chin, and the feet are separated as if they are dancing.

Hu Bayi and Xiao Ran were studying the strangeness of the two stone slabs, while the fat man suddenly became playful, pulled Xu Er and said, "Hey! Xu Er, let's dance like these two little devils, and you can dance like this." On the right side, I will learn from the left side, and get ready...start!"

The two jumped forward in a stiff and funny posture, and landed one meter in front of the stone slab.Fatty and Xu Erle laughed loudly, but Hu Bayi and Xiao Ran behind them heard a series of imperceptible "click" sounds coming from behind the stone slab.

The two were startled, each stretched out their hands to grab the person in front of them, and shouted in unison: "Come back!"

Fatty and Xu Er were pulled by the two people behind them, but they both fell backwards.Immediately afterwards, the stone slab they were standing on suddenly sank down a few inches, and two sharp axes suddenly protruded from the gaps in the left and right walls, and rushed straight to the lower legs of the two of them.
