Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 354
On the crystal-clear ice cave wall, the center of each transparent ice "coffin" lit up with a faint green light, especially the place where the wolf-eyed flashlight had been illuminated just now, the center of the overlapping hands of the ice coffin's dead body was shining brightly. Like a will-o'-the-wisp, it is dimly lit.

Xiao Ran moved the flashlight to the center of the nearest frozen corpse, a large round stone glowing with green light was being fixed in the middle by the corpse's folded hands.

"So it's Ye Mingzhu again, but it's a bit bigger. If it weren't for the cheapness of these things, I would have to pry one or two back." The fat man said.

The steps ahead, clinging to the wall of the ice cave all the way down, seemed to be cut from ice.But if you look carefully with a flashlight, you can vaguely see cylindrical sticks nailed to the wall one by one in the center of the ice steps. It can be seen that these ice steps, like the ice coffins, were cast in later stages.

On the outside of the ice steps, there was a simple fence surrounded by wood and iron chains, but none of them seemed as strong as the few people present.

"Old Hu, you said that the first to install these steps, and the person who put the corpse on the wall, it took a lot of effort on his body. He is not afraid of slipping when flying over the eaves and walking on the wall, and he can carry things that weigh more than a hundred catties..." The fat man asked road.

Hu Bayi took a look and said: "Look at these corpses, besides ordinary people, there are also human flies. I guess it's those human flies who made these, but they can fly..."

"Oh……"

Only then did the fat man suddenly realize that he hastened to shine a flashlight on the other corpses, trying to light up the entire ice cave.

Xiao Changfeng ignored the people behind him, and using a Luoyang shovel as a walking stick, he walked down more than twenty steps along the ice steps on the wall of the ice cave, while constantly shining a flashlight on the wall.

Xiao Ran was worried that he would slip down, so he quickly touched down with his hands and feet.But Xiao Changfeng clapped his hands suddenly, as if he found something, he turned around and stretched out his hand towards Xiao Ran, saying, "Huo..."

Xiao Ran raised his flashlight to shine on the place Xiao Changfeng was looking at just now, and found that there was actually a transparent glass lamp holder, which contained the familiar shark oil.There is also a thin ground line protruding from the oil lamp, extending downward almost horizontally with the ice steps. At a position of about 30 meters, another glazed lamp holder can be vaguely seen.

No wonder Xiao Changfeng had to look for it carefully. The transparent lamp holder and the hard-to-find thin thread, if you don't look closely, almost blend with the transparent ice wall, and even because of the dark green night pearl light, these lamp holders are even more difficult to detect.

Xiao Ran touched his body, took out the windproof lighter Shirley Yang left behind, and carefully lit the wick in the glazed lamp holder.

When the wick catches fire, it ignites, and the thin wire tied to the wick also ignites a flame at the same time. The flame extends all the way down, and a lamp is lit every 30 meters or so.

At the same time, under the reflection of the fire, more night pearls around them also emitted a ghostly green light.

"Fatty, don't waste your time, look below..."

Hu Bayi patted the fat man's shoulder, and Xu Er, who was beside him, also looked down, and saw that oil lamps were continuously lit up under the fiery needle thread, and at the same time illuminated a large area of ​​night pearls around him.

The green light on the ice wall chased the yellow light in the middle, and the yellow and green light gradually illuminated the entire ice cave.

"Old Hu! There's something under this hole!"

The fat man pointed excitedly at the bottom of the ice cave. At this time, the light from the cave wall had spread to the bottom of the cave, and all the oil lamps had been lit.The ice cave is down from where they are, about 100 meters deep, and the bottom is a large flat and smooth ice surface.

In the center of the ice surface, there is a thick icicle, and a huge coffin is parked under the icicle.

When the fat man saw the coffin, a switch was flipped in his heart, and he became excited immediately. Regardless of how difficult and dangerous the ice steps were, he urged Xu Er in front to hurry down.

Hu Bayi slapped him hard on the back, and said: "Every time you see money, you will get excited, and you will forget about it when you are proud. In the end, something will happen. The icy steps are too slippery. Be careful when going down. There is no one else here, can someone still snatch it?"

The fat man scratched his head through the cotton hat, as if his heart was already itching.But looking at the steps in front of him that were so transparent that his eyes could slip, he sighed helplessly, and said, "Well, you don't have to worry about being late for a good meal..."

Following Xiao Changfeng's example, several people used the engineering shovel in their hands as trekking poles, moving down little by little.Xiao Changfeng seems to be familiar with this kind of road, as agile as an old monkey.

Xiao Ran looked at the slightly bent back, as if instinctively wanted to care about it.But Xu Er who was following behind was still injured, so he had no choice but to keep turning his head to greet Xu Er.

Seeing this, the fat man yelled to Xiao Ran: "Brother Xiao, you just need to help the old man, Xu Er, I'll watch..."

While talking, he changed places with Xu Er, putting Xu Er between him and Hu Bayi.Only then did Xiao Ran feel relieved, and quickly walked down two steps, grabbing one of Xiao Changfeng's arms.

Xiao Changfeng looked back at Xiao Ran, patted Xiao Ran's hand with a smile, and said, "It's okay...you...be careful..."

Those fragmented childhood images suddenly flashed in Xiao Ran's mind, it was the tall and tall Xiao Changfeng holding his hand, telling him to walk carefully.

The feeling was so real that at this moment, he felt that his father was Xiao Changfeng, and those childhood memories were his own experiences.

Looking at the back figure in front of him who was almost a head shorter than him, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. When did Xiao Changfeng shrink so much...

Just as he was immersed in this wonderful memory and sentimentality, the flashlight swept across a corpse in the ice coffin next to him, and Xiao Ran saw the protruding eyes of that human fly suddenly turn.

He was startled by the movement of the corpse, slipped and fell towards the side of the ice steps.

"son!"

Xiao Changfeng felt that Xiao Ran was about to fall, so he couldn't help but yelled, and reached out his hand to grab Xiao Ran's collar.But the ice steps were too slippery, Xiao Changfeng sat on the ground with his buttocks being surrounded by Xiao Ran, and he was about to slide down the ice steps.

Xiao Ran looked at Xiao Changfeng with some despair, and couldn't help shouting: "Dad!"

Through the messy hair, Xiao Ran saw a gleam of determination flashing in Xiao Changfeng's eyes, he raised his other hand abruptly, and stabbed the Luoyang shovel hard into the ice wall.

"Xiao Gang!"

"Brother Xiao!"

Everything happened within a second or two, and the three people behind were also stretching out their hands and shovels at this time.Xiao Changfeng pulled Xiao Ran with one hand, and with the other hand he firmly grasped the Luoyang shovel inserted into the ice wall. The veins on his neck and forehead bulged, and his clenched teeth were bloodshot.

Fortunately, he acted in time and bought time for the rescue. After a lot of effort, they pulled Xiao Ran and Xiao Changfeng back.Both father and son sat down panting against the ice wall, keeping as far away from the edge of the ice steps as possible.

The fat man looked at the Luoyang shovel inserted into the ice wall, pulled it out lightly, and exclaimed: "The old man has good hands, the whole shovel head is not in, and he can't even pull it out..."

Hu Bayi also tried it, and felt that the insertion was really strong enough. If he pulled it out hard, he might go down with his strength, and said: "The old man is eager to save his son, and his potential has exploded. This kind of danger stimulates potential. See you often."

Considering that there was still some way to go down, Xiao Changfeng still needed this thing, Fatty and Hu Bayi had to move left and right, holding the handle of Luoyang shovel and shaking it back and forth.

The broken ice kept falling along the place where the Luoyang shovel was inserted, and there were some yellow, yellow, green and green jelly-like things mixed with it.Xu Er took a picture with the flashlight, and it turned out that the Luoyang shovel pierced through the ice layer into the stomach of the corpse of the human fly behind.

After several shakes, there was a sudden crisp sound from the ice wall, Hu Bayi and Fatty looked at each other, and pulled out suddenly.As the Luoyang shovel was pulled out, the corpses of the human flies fell from the ice wall mixed with crushed ice.

"Let go!"

Following Hu Bayi's shout, the fat man quickly let go of his hand.Hu Bayi swung the Luoyang shovel to draw an arc in the air, and with this force, he pulled the shovel out of the human fly's abdomen.

The corpse of the human fly hit the edge of the ice step straight, and then fell down with a crash.The ice coffin where it used to be was left with only a large hole recessed into it.

"It's so dangerous, I almost let you take me down..."

As Hu Bayi said, he carefully handed the Luoyang shovel to the fat man, and passed it all the way to Xiao Changfeng.

Xiao Changfeng shook his arms that he had tried his best just now, but his hands were still trembling.But seeing that the few people in the back were not in serious trouble at this time, they leaned on the wall and wanted to stand up.

Xiao Ran stood up first, supported Xiao Changfeng's arm, and Xu Er behind him let out a "hehe" laugh.

Before the scene of father's kindness and son's filial piety continued, a series of "clicking" sounds suddenly came from the ice wall.Hu Bayi raised his flashlight vigilantly, took a photo along the big hole, and said, "This wall may be cracked, but now we can't see where it is cracked, so let's hurry down."

Several people hurriedly and cautiously stuck to the ice wall, moving down a little bit.Everyone has the same illusion in their hearts, as long as they stay away from the ice hole, the ice wall will not crack, even if it cracks, it will not affect themselves.

With the accident just now, several people kept reminding and supporting each other, which made the downward speed more stable and faster.When it was two or three meters away from the ice, the fat man finally breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted, "I didn't even dare to fart loudly just now, but it suffocated me, it's finally over!"

He didn't wait for the father and son in front to go down, he directly lifted the dangling iron chain beside him, and jumped off the edge of the ice steps.

With a "crack", the fat man fell on the ice, but he kept laughing "hehehe".

"What the hell is so slippery on the ground... I'm fucked!"

Fatty stood up scrambling and scrambling. At this time, several other people also walked to the ice. They raised their flashlights to take a picture. It turned out that the corpse of the human fly that fell just now was lying at Fatty's feet, with yellow and green flesh and internal organs. Flowed from the broken body.

"Let you play, stop arguing, and crack the ice wall later, hurry up and get down to business..."

As Hu Bayi said, he took the lead in walking towards the coffin in front of the icicle.
