Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 40
There was a "bang" gunshot, and a bullet almost flew past Hu Bayi's face.

The three-eyed tower slug that flew towards him instantly exploded into a pool of green slime, splashing all over his head and face.

It was Fatty who changed the magazine in time and solved Hu Bayi's face-biting danger with one burst.

Hu Bayi and Xiao Ran also changed their magazines one after another. The three of them continued to shoot while retreating, but they were still doing futile work. The only thing to be thankful for was that these living dead dripping with green pus had been ossified for decades. Moves extremely slowly.

Since it is a three-eyed tower belly slug, it will be easy to solve.Taking advantage of the fat man's full firepower, Xiao Ran quickly ran to the valve in the middle of the corridor.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi yelled to the fat man, "Hold on, and withdraw when you are called!"

He ran to Xiao Ran's side, and the two of them exerted force together, and the switch turned "creakingly".

After a burst of noise, a large amount of salt particles gushed out from the openings on both sides of the wall, like quicksand traps in the tomb to prevent theft.

"Fatty, get out!"

The fat man retracted his gun when he heard the sound, and before the salt waterfall affected him, he turned around and ran towards the iron gate.

The Salt Cascade pours down, giving those wobbly green pus zombies a salt shower.The salt mixed with the exposed pus and was quickly melted and absorbed.

These zombies, like short-circuited robots, twitched and fell down one after another.But their bodies are still twisting and struggling, part of the skin is constantly bulging, and big holes are bursting out.

A large number of three-eyed tower slugs came out of the hole, and at least a dozen of them lived in each corpse.

These disgusting bugs were a circle bigger than those that were about to dry out in the coffin above. Their bodies were fat and swollen. The fluff and spikes all over their bodies stood up densely, and their eye stalks twisted flexibly.

They were actively jumping on the corpse, like huge and weird fat maggots, and some of the three living people tried to jump to the iron gate, but they were all covered by the salt particles falling down, and their bodies lost their strength rapidly. The water dried up, and after spitting out a few mouthfuls of green pus, he lay still on his stomach.

After a while, the flow of salt grains gradually stopped, and the gray salt grains spread a layer on the ground of the spacious passage, almost covering the fallen corpses.

The whole passage finally fell silent. Xiao Ran took the lead and walked carefully to those corpses. Most of the corpses in between had been separated from their flesh and bones, and the rotting flesh had turned into a viscous semi-solid state, which mixed with nearby salt grains into a green rotten pulp.

Those three-eyed tower belly slugs drilled out of their broken bodies have become pieces of empty skin, like strangely shaped leaky balloons, scattered limply around.

"This little devil is really ruthless, he won't let his own people off... There is also a German devil here!"

The fat man's tone was slightly surprised, and he picked up a pile of gray military uniforms with green meat paste and broken bones with his engineering shovel. This man was the one who took the lead in kneeling at the front just now.

"It seems that this is the German mentioned in Imai's diary, and he brought these things here. Looking at them, they may have been controlled by the three-eyed tower belly and became some kind of bullshit believers. "Xiao Ran said.

Fatty didn't take it seriously, looking at the Knight's Iron Cross on the military uniform, his eyes lit up: "There's also an Iron Cross, can this thing be worth some money?"

Hu Bayi looked disgusted: "That shit is almost soaked in green soup, you don't think it's disgusting. There is also a reverse swastika on it. This thing is not rare for Chinese people, and foreigners may not dare to accept it. Throw it away!"

The fat man had no choice but to throw the pair of rags on the ground, and wiped the shovel with a clean pile of salt.

"It's quiet there now, let's not waste time, take a look quickly, and withdraw if there is nothing to take."

Hu Bayi finally took the initiative to propose, but Xiao Ran felt a little thumping in his heart.He instinctively felt that although these green pus corpses were a little disgusting, they were nothing more than tricks, and the huge monster figure in his mind was still lingering.

After thinking about it, he still made up his mind and said, "Let's go, let's go back quickly."

The three of them carefully returned to the secret room again. There was nothing inside, only the large circular pool protruding like a flower bed, lying silently in the middle under the iron chain blockade, floating on the dark water from time to time. One or two cloudy blisters.

Xiao Ran noticed that there was actually a small altar in front of the military officer before, but it was blocked by corpses just now.

It is said to be an altar, but it is actually a square stone pier, about [-] centimeters high, with a slightly sloping surface above it, and there is a dusty torn book on it.

Xiao Ran bent down and took a closer look. This book should be handwritten. The text is reddish brown, which seems to be written in blood.But he couldn't tell which country the text on it was from, but it was definitely not Japanese, let alone English.

He casually flipped through the text, and from the typesetting point of view, the text was very rhythmic. Combined with the words "believer" in Imai's diary, this is probably a prayer.

The altar, prayers, and the direction of kneeling... Xiao Ran suddenly raised his head, as if he felt the iron chain on the pool shake slightly.

The object of their kneeling is in this pool!
He suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of fear, as if after watching a horror movie, when he went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, he always felt that there was a ghost behind him, and his instinct drove him to turn his head and run away.

"What kind of crap is this?"

Fatty came over suddenly, Xiao Ran's thoughts were broken, his body shook slightly, and the inexplicable sense of fear disappeared, making him feel that the state just now was a bit inconceivable.

The fat man grabbed the notebook and flipped through it, frowning, and read aloud: "What a fat belly, Hala Shao! Wairui three grams of oily meas!"

Hu Bayi came up to take a look, and asked the fat man, "What nonsense are you talking about? Is it the way you read it? How can I listen to at least three languages?"

"Hey, I don't know him anyway, just playing around. I don't know what the devils from these two countries are up to."

As he spoke, he handed the copied book to Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment, then took it and put it in his carry-on bag.

"What is this?" Hu Bayi said, "There should be something inside, and there is a handle..."

Only then did Xiao Ran and Fatty notice that in the center of the stone pier of the altar, there seemed to be a cover with a small protrusion underneath.On the stone cover, there is also a nine-petal chrysanthemum symbol, which was previously covered by the handwritten book.

Hu Bayi pinched the small handle of the cover, and lifted it lightly. Inside was a groove filled with white paper symbols, which looked the same as those hanging outside the airtight door.

In the pile of paper talismans, there is a small gray square, the material of which cannot be seen, but it does not look like jade.

The upper and left edges of the small square are smooth, while the other two sides are a little rough. It looks like it was knocked out of a whole object. There is also a "Heaven" in Yangwen seal script in the center of the square.

Xiao Ran subconsciously reached out to take it, but the moment his fingertips touched the cube, he suddenly seemed to be shocked by electricity, and some strange images instantly appeared in his mind.
