Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 425 Blood Food

I don’t know whether it was out of resentful relief, or because it no longer cared about the pain when it was about to die. The Pseudodontus rhododendron tore its own belly with great force. The sharp beak stirred things up.

A large amount of pus and blood, fragments of internal organs, and even minced fish bones and meat mixed with gastric juice also slowly flowed out. In addition to hissing sounds, there was white smoke burning the thick hard bacterial ground.

Even though he was wearing a gas mask, Xiao Ran seemed to be able to smell the pungent sour smell when the liquid corroded and burned.

The second uncle also seemed to feel the smell. He tugged on Xiao Ran's sleeves, pointed to the edge of the platform and said, "Lean over and find a solid place to rest. It's going to be burning."

The two walked to a broken table at the edge of the platform.The second uncle changed the direction of the table that was half missing, and leaned the end of his right leg against the natural wall at the back. Then he slowly sat down, half-lying on the table to rest his back, and breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I'm really tired." Death, I don’t know what else will happen next..."

This kind of adventure, which is different from ordinary people's life experience, is prone to encounter many narrow escape situations.But Xiao Ran still hoped that it would go as smoothly as possible, fearing that the second uncle's words would have a bad effect, so he looked around, found a piece of raised wood, and patted it three times to remove the bad luck.

But just after the third shot, he suddenly felt a stinging pain in his hand. When he raised his hand, he saw that it was the fierce battle with the Luo's Pseudomonas just now, which made him temporarily forget that he had cut his palm with the Guanshan knife before.

Even though his recovery ability is stronger than that of ordinary people, he still can't resist the repeated tossing.At this time, the wound was shocked by his slap, and it opened again, and blood oozed out and dripped on the piece of wood.

He was afraid that Tongtian Taisui would be infected with too many bacteria, and if he was parasitized and turned into a miserable person like Pseudodontus lowii, he quickly sucked a few mouthfuls of blood and vomited it on the ground. Then he took out the first aid kit, endured the excruciating pain, and used alcohol with alcohol. Disinfect the wound and bandage it hurriedly.

The second uncle, who had been resting with his eyes squinted, suddenly opened his eyes and asked through the gas mask: "What is moving?"

Xiao Ran hurriedly fixed the gauze on his hand with adhesive plaster, and muttered: "It's not a thing, I'll move it and wrap it up. You sleep in your bed, I'll call you later."

"wrong……"

The second uncle stood up suddenly, put his backpack on his back, and hurriedly told Xiao Ran: "Pack your things! The ground is moving! I don't know if it is going to collapse!"

After his second uncle said this, Xiao Ran also felt the feeling of weightlessness under his feet again, just like when he was in the passage.In the middle of his Wangxiang platform, the center of the ground where fungus could be faintly seen was falling slightly, and broken soil and wood were also rolling from the edge to the center.

"Get the rope ready! It's really going to collapse!"

Xiao Ran and his second uncle hurriedly prepared the rope to prevent falling into the abyss below.He looked at the huge False-toothed Bird in confusion. No matter how corrosive its body fluids were, it would not burn down the ground so quickly.

The ground slowly squirmed again. Xiao Ran tied a section of the rope around his waist. The flying tiger claw on the other end found a thick and strong branch and hung it up. Then he used the flashlight to check the situation in the center of the platform with peace of mind.

Under the flashlight, he saw a cross-shaped crack appearing in the center of the nearly circular platform as it sank.The cross shape continues to expand and widen, and the four platforms move downward like inverted petals.

"What is this? What did you just do?" the second uncle suddenly asked.

Xiao Ran followed his uncle's flashlight to look at his feet, and was surprised to find that there were capillary-like things on the thick ground of the fungi, making these "petals" look more like animal ears.

Xiao Ran looked back along the thickest "blood vessel" and traced it all the way to the piece of wood he had photographed before.Now if you look closely at the piece of wood, it turns out to be slowly twisting like a tentacle, and the remaining blood on it is being absorbed bit by bit along the grain of the wood.

"Second uncle, it's blood! My blood was left on it just now!" Xiao Ran shouted hurriedly.

The second uncle nodded: "That's right. It seems that it was your blood food that really opened the entrance to Tai Sui."

The four huge bacterial flaps continued to move downward, and Xiao Ran and his second uncle could vaguely see a circle of stairs adhering to the inner wall of Tongtian Taisui, spiraling into the deep darkness. "Second uncle, let's go to the stairs!"

The movement of the fungus flap on the ground is not very fast, and there is enough time for the two of them to safely move to the initial position of the stairs.The only difficulty is that the creeping movement of the ground does not go straight downward in a regular manner, but is accompanied by the creeping movement. If you are not careful, it will roll down into the abyss along the fungus like those gravels and dead branches.

Xiao Ran and his second uncle had no choice but to hold the flying tiger's claws with one hand and the dead branches on the edge with the other. They had to hang the flying tiger's claws on the tree wall every step they took to feel at ease.

Suddenly there was a sharp "rustling" sound behind them. The two looked back and saw that the body of Pseudodontus lowii was rolling and falling to the central cross opening along with the sagging fungus floor.

Because of its large body, the crack was not big enough for it to fall completely, so the body was temporarily stuck in the center.

I thought it was just a false alarm, but when the flashlight swept towards the blood-eating lichen on the corpse, Xiao Ran suddenly became nervous again.

The parasitic vampires seemed to realize that the host was dead at this time, and they fell from the corpse one after another, squirming around the edges of their abdomens and crawling towards the platform.As soon as a few unlucky ghosts climbed down from the corpse, they fell into the abyss of the crack before the corpse.

Xiao Ran made a visual inspection and found that except for three blood-devouring lichens crawling in the direction of him and his second uncle, the remaining seven or eight were crawling in different directions.After the needle legs on the edge of their bodies crawled, several small holes were left on the ground of the fungus petals that were smoking and corroding.

"If we don't get rid of these things now, they will inevitably come to haunt us later. Their claws are also corrosive. It is estimated that they have been parasitic with that big duck for a long time, and their physique has also changed..." The second uncle murmured.

Xiao Ran gritted his teeth and said to his second uncle: "You go ahead and leave the rest to me..."

The second uncle didn't say much and continued to move toward the stairs while holding on to the edge of the wall.Xiao Ran fixed himself, took out the divine arrow without feathers, bent down and grabbed a handful of stones, and said to himself: "Brother, it's up to you this time!"

"Well, brother, look at it. Brother said, I love this soft one..."

Xiao Ran ignored Shenxing's dirty jokes and aimed at a blood-devouring lichen in front of him.When a stone was hit, a hole instantly opened in the blood-devouring lichen and slid down softly.But the splashing body fluids burned the surrounding ground in spots, and a few drops came straight towards Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Ran used the flying tiger claws hanging behind him to quickly raise his legs, thus avoiding his feet being burned by the acid.

"Hey, it's not only soft, but also has a lot of water..."

Xiao Ran couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Since when have you started speaking pornographically? Keep working!"

This time he was much more cautious, and he fired several stones in succession, with the force controlled just right, and the bodily fluids of the blood-eating lichens only splashed not far away.

As the crack opened, the body of the Pseudodontus in the middle finally crashed down and fell into the darkness.The four fungus flaps gradually approached the wall below, and the stairs surrounding the tree wall became more clearly visible.

"That's about it..."

Xiao Ran flicked his wrist and turned to look at his second uncle.At this time, the second uncle had reached the longest level of the stairs and was picking up the flying tiger claws from the tree wall.

"No! Brother Ran, there is another one! Lower your head!"

Xiao Ran quickly lowered his head when he heard Shen Xing Wu Yujian speak.At the same time, a blood-devouring lichen jumped up from its lower head and landed on top of his head, with the acid in its abdomen clinging to the rope behind him.
