Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 406 The Royal Court
When the knives and shovels fell, the vines in front of them, regardless of whether they were dry or prosperous, flew away in all directions with withered branches and slightly fresh plant juice.The two of them were like thugs who robbed a house and smashed the door, constantly trying to break the barrier between the two spaces.

Accompanied by the dust that is dust or sawdust flying around, the unique forest-like freshness rushes straight into the nostrils, making Xiao Ran feel refreshed.It seemed that it didn't matter any antiques or secrets behind the vine wall, but he enjoyed the process of chopping the vine wall very much.

He turned to look at the second uncle, and saw that the second uncle was also chopping until his face was flushed and his forehead was sweating, but there was indescribable excitement and joy in his eyes.This also further stimulated Xiao Ran, and made him chop more enthusiastically, until his eyes were covered with gold stars, his ears were buzzing, and the sounds from those antiques were almost hazy.

Among these antique voices, there seemed to be a lot of anxious voices mixed in, and I don't know what they were saying.

Xiao Ran grinned, and claimed that he had seen many antiques in his family, but it was the first time he was so anxious to see him.

He and his second uncle seemed to be in a competition, chopping more vigorously, and suddenly felt the knife in his hand sink suddenly, as if it had hit something soft.Followed by a slightly painful moan and gasp.

An ominous premonition rose in his heart, and he turned to look at his second uncle with a face full of horror and bewilderment.The second uncle looked at him with the same expression, and slowly pulled back the hand holding the shovel until the head of the shovel seemed to be sucked by something, making it difficult to pull it out easily.

Xiao Ran looked at the knife in his hand, and slowly pulled it back.As the blade suddenly stuck, the groan became more urgent and weak, as if someone's life was hanging by a thread.

"Oops...it seems..."

"...Cut people..."

The voices of both uncle and nephew trembled a little, if it was a monster or a zongzi, it would be chopped up.But at this time, the voice of the other party was human, even if it was the same as myself, it was human life after all, and they were the ones who hurt others first.

The second uncle swallowed his saliva, and said to Xiao Ran: "Calm down...it's already like this, we didn't do it on purpose, let's find a way to get in first...maybe we can be saved..."

The two uncles and nephews wiped the sweat from their foreheads, tacitly clasped the thing in their hands, raised one foot and stepped on the vines that had been cut to pieces, exerting a little force.

"one two Three!"

As soon as the "three" in the second uncle's mouth was uttered, the two of them kicked hard towards the vine wall together.Unexpectedly, the wall in front suddenly fell down, and the two of them staggered and fell inward along with the wall.

With the sound of "click", the groaning sound disappeared completely.The uncle and nephew fell all over the place and lay on the ground weakly humming.

Xiao Ran only felt flickering lights in front of his eyes, and countless noisy voices that became stronger and weaker, but he couldn't hear what he said.

The second uncle got up first, pulled him up, patted his face, and asked, "Are you all right? Are your bones broken?"

Looking at his second uncle's face, Xiao Ran felt a double image, and the sound was like a broken tape recorder, full of noise and murmurs of chaos.He shook his head, and it seemed that there was nothing serious except for some audio-visual problems, so he waved his hands: "Just fall like this, it won't happen..."

The second uncle nodded and pointed to the place where they fell in.

In front is an arched doorway, and you can still see the stairs they came up and the large and small fluorites on the wall.On the ground in front of the door opening, a door panel covered with broken vines was pressing on something, lying crookedly on the ground.

On the door panel were inserted the Guanshan knife and engineering shovel that the two of them hadn't had time to pull out.

The uncle and nephew looked at each other, and carefully shone the flashlight under the door panel.I saw a dark red liquid slowly flowing out from the gap under the door.

"It's broken! It really... hurts people!"

The second uncle intentionally avoided the word "murder", and hurriedly pulled Xiao Ran up.The two also ignored the Guanshan knife and the engineer shovel, and hurriedly lifted the door panel up.

However, the scene under the door still made the hearts of the two fall to the bottom in an instant.

An old woman with yellow, white, and gray hair and two long braids was lying on her back, with blood dripping from her mouth, nose, and two wounds on her body.

The clothes on her body are mainly made of animal skins and burlap, and there are many polished stone pendants of different colors, which should be turquoise and yellow ou at first glance.Her clothes, accessories, and hair are all unusual, revealing a sense of primitive luxury. I don't know if she is the same as Grandma Jin, a descendant of the old man, hiding alone in the last towering tree mausoleum.

The two uncles and nephews were completely panicked at this moment, especially the old man looked very much like Mrs. Jin, and his clothes were similar to the cassock that Mrs. Jin wore when she invited God, which made Xiao Ran feel more guilty.

"Second uncle, this... this..."

Xiao Ran didn't know how to face the innocent and tragic old man in front of him, he didn't know what to say for a while, and tears of guilt flooded into his eyes instantly.Together with his second uncle, he sent a living person to a dead end.

The second uncle also looked ashen, and slowly pulled out the knife on the door and threw it at Xiao Ran, then pulled out the shovel and held it in his hand, muttering: "This... can't blame us... We didn't do it on purpose, who knows Behind these broken trees and vines is the door, and who knows that she is hiding behind the door? We subjectively have no intention of killing people, this is just an accident..."

Xiao Ran looked around and saw a leather embroidered handkerchief in the old man's hand, so he carefully pulled it out and stuffed it into his pocket, then picked up a broken animal skin next to him, covered the old man's upper body, head and face, and said silently: "Old man, we have no intention of harming you. Don't blame us...we will definitely bury your body properly later. For the rest of my life, I will also enshrine you as my own family. I hope you rest in peace..."

"Right, right! In the future, just make a good offering, and rest in peace. After all, she is hiding behind the door, and she has to bear half of the responsibility! Now we still have our burial offerings, which is enough! She is also at fault, Right?"

Second Uncle suddenly found a reason to comfort himself, and eagerly asked Xiao Ran, hoping to get a definite answer.

But before Xiao Ran could speak, many voices suddenly came from all around: "Yes, it's her fault! It's her fault!"

The two uncles and nephews were startled, and hurriedly took photos behind them.At this time, the space behind the door was slowly lit up, and after the fluorite covering the wall absorbed the light, it instantly illuminated the entire space like an auditorium.

No, this seems to be an auditorium.In the middle of this space, there is a pillar with a diameter of seven or eight meters, which seems to be a natural tree trunk.There is also a layer of skin wrapped around the body of the column, with simple and weird paintings painted on it.

Around the pillar, there are many men of different ages but dressed like the old woman kneeling on their knees. They are turning their heads to look at the uncle and nephew with a calm smile on their faces.

"You...what are you..."

These people who appeared suddenly made the uncle and nephew feel uneasy.But before Xiao Ran could finish his shouting, the surroundings of the entire hall lit up.

Piles of gold and silver utensils, jewelry and jade porcelain are scattered around the wall, reflecting the entire hall extremely brightly.

The second uncle closed his mouth in surprise, looked around the hall for a week, looked at the carefully decorated and exaggerated seats separated by the pile of treasures, and finally his eyes fell on the smiling face of the leading man, and he couldn't help sighing: " This... this is probably the King's Court..."
