Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 341 One More Person
Apart from Fatty's cheers and the footsteps of the four people, the entire tomb was basically dead silent.Those dusty insect nests and the slender passages that only insects can use are like decorations full of contradictions, lying quietly on the ground without any vitality.

Even Xu Er, the most timid, would use his engineering shovel to knock the waxy insect nests into pieces when he passed by those insect nests with carelessness at this time, so as to vent his dissatisfaction at being bullied by those insect nests just now. .

Hu Bayi took out the compass, murmured words, and determined the location of the southeast corner in a short time.Ever since he had Xu Er, lighting candles seemed to be his exclusive job.He is also happy to use this method to prove that he is also an important part of the team.

Xu Er took out the candle from his backpack, walked to the direction Hu Bayi pointed, and deliberately placed the candle at the foot of a pillar so that the wind would not blow the soil and it would not hit it.

Xiao Ran and the others had already walked in front of the coffins, and the fat man circled around the three coffins a few times, and couldn't help sighing: "My dear, I thought it was just three coffins with upturned ends, I didn't expect this The thing looks like the moon... No, it looks like a dumpling..."

Hu Bayi raised the engineer shovel and touched the coffin in the middle, and said in wonder: "It doesn't feel like wood or stone. It seems to be similar to the material of those insect nests and passages. It should be the same kind of wax. This shape It's not a dumpling, it's a pupa, it's the same as the thing in the sarcophagus of that shit prince."

As soon as Hu Bayi said these words, everyone's strings tensed up.These three so-called coffins are three large ship-shaped chrysalis placed on the stone platform, all of which have been covered with dust on the outside. From a distance, they look like stones, but they are actually hard wax that has turned off-white.

These three wax pupae are exactly the same as the pupae in the sarcophagus under the black pool, from which the Lord of the Flies got out.The failed experiments made by Tianling Sanren, as well as those human flies that didn't grow up in time and were deformed just now, are all defective products, and their intelligence and physical strength are far inferior to the near-perfect complete body of the prince.

According to Xiao Ran's experience, only this kind of perfect body that can fly and sweep the earth is worthy of using this kind of wax chrysalis.A prince, even a small human fly in infancy is almost impossible to deal with, but here are three adult-sized chrysalis, once they are all released, what kind of scene will it be?
Xu Er couldn't help touching his head, and then covered the dusty cotton hat a little tighter.

"Old Hu, can't we open it? Do you think there is a magic weapon in it?" the fat man asked.

Without waiting for Hu Bayi's answer, Xiao Ran first strode to the biggest wax chrysalis in the middle, raised his hand and knocked, and there was an empty echo from inside.

He swallowed again, turned his head to look at the others, and then pushed the wax pupa a little harder.The wax chrysalis began to shake slightly. There was no "gurgling" sound when the liquid was shaking inside, but a rattling sound when solid objects collided.

Hearing this voice, the fat man immediately beamed with joy, and said to Hu Bayi: "Look! Old Hu, Brother Xiao has tried it with his own hands, and the inside is basically empty. Let's open it up and have a look! I heard the noise , it may be some gold and silver ornaments from Mr. Sharburn."

Now that he has reached this point, Hu Bayi has nothing to say.It's just that he opened this so-called "coffin" for the first time. After looking at it for a long time, he felt like a monkey eating a crab. He had no choice but to swing the shovel directly and knock it down on the top of the chrysalis.

The wax shell of this chrysalis also feels like hard plastic when knocked.After a few shovels, the wax chrysalis cracked a gap, and then the pieces fell into the chrysalis one after another.

"I'll come, I'll come! Take a break!"

The fat man rolled up his sleeves, pushed Hu Bayi aside, jumped onto the stone platform by himself, raised the tip of the shovel and hit the edge of the crack a few times, making the opening above the chrysalis a little bigger.

He took a photo inside with a flashlight, and instantly his whole body went limp.

"What kind of trash is this... I thought there was some treasure, it's all made of broken trees, leaves and animal skins..."

Hearing what the fat man said, Xiao Ran and Hu Bayi also jumped onto the stage, carefully shining the flashlight into the gap.Inside the wax chrysalis, there were indeed many dead leaves and large and small animal skins, which seemed to be the skins of mice and weasels, and there were several half-meter-long transparent wings in the middle.

On the edge of these dead leaves of animal skins, there is still a pile of rags, like a tattered robe.

Xiao Ran and Hu Bayi raised their heads and looked at each other, their eyes were full of doubts.Hu Bayi said: "This seems to be..."

"Bedding?" Xiao Ran immediately answered.

The information conveyed by Hu Bayi's eyes made Xiao Ran understand that the two had the same thoughts.The contents of the wax chrysalis do seem to have been deliberately laid out like this for sleeping.

Fatty heard the two talking about the bedding, and took a closer look, then raised his head and said, "This bedding seems... quite clean, as if someone slept there just now..."

Fatty's words made several people shudder.At this time, Hu Bayi made another stab: "Brother Xiao, we were halfway through a sentence just now, and we got distracted. Before we woke up, someone pressed our heads. We thought it was you, but we didn't expect You were the last to wake up. I reckon, there are... more than the four of us..."

Xiao Ran suddenly felt his scalp numb, looked around, his eyes widened immediately, and asked the other two, "Where's Xu Er? Xu Er!"

At this time, there were only the three of them next to the wax chrysalis, and Xu Er suddenly disappeared at some point.The three jumped off the platform in a hurry, calling Xu Er non-stop.When the fat man came down, one of them lost his footing, grabbed the edge of the wax chrysalis with both hands, pulled the wax chrysalis off the stone seat, and knocked the other wax chrysalis next to it to the ground.

"Fatty! You are my ancestor, can't you slow down?"

Hu Bayi hurried to the side, checked the wax pupa that had been knocked to the ground, and was relieved to make sure that there was no sign of rupture.

At this time, looking at the wax chrysalis shell that was pulled off by the fat man, the three of them discovered that there was actually a hollow under the wax chrysalis, which was just buckled on the stone seat like a shell before.In this way, they believed even more that there was a fifth person in this tomb, and even made a home here.

"Xu Er! Xu Er! Where are you?!"

Several people left the center of the tomb, shouting and looking for Xu Er.Xiao Ran walked all the way to the previous mural, but there was still no trace of Xu Er, so he planned to turn around and leave.

But he suddenly felt a chill behind him, and hurried back to the mural.The previous mural was over when Sharborn was buried, but now there is another painting on the blank wall next to it.

In the middle of the painting, five decapitated people appear.And on both sides of these five people, there are two human figures with six hands and four legs.
