Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 426 Sifang 28 Houses
Seeing that the entire rope was burned off, and as the burned area became thinner and thinner, Xiao Ran and Shenxing Wuyujian said in unison: "It's over!"

There was a "bang" sound, and the rope finally broke.The flying tiger's claw head, which was originally hooked on the branch of a tree and was trembling, also jumped and flew downwards.Xiao Ran's body sank, and he lowered himself towards the stairs more than ten meters away.

If the stairs were in good condition, there would be no guardrails on the outside of this spiraling staircase inside Tongtian Taisui. If he fell down like this, he would not only break his leg, but also have to continue falling deeper.

"Xiao Ran!"

The second uncle in the distance shouted loudly, watching Xiao Ran fall but there was nothing he could do.Xiao Ran quickly turned around while falling, and at the same time drew out the Guan Shan Dao and thrust it into the tree wall.

He held the handle of the knife tightly, and with debris flying around, his falling speed gradually slowed down, and finally stopped when he approached the stairs.Despite this, his legs still jerked hard when they came into contact with the stairs.

A sharp pain came from his knees, making his legs a little weak.At this time, he could only hold the handle of the knife tightly, and his upper body temporarily hung above the abyss, waiting for the pain to pass.

"Watch out!" Guan Shandao shouted.

Xiao Ran's eyes widened, looking at the blood-eating lichen that would not stop dying, then he opened the needle legs on both sides and fell straight towards his face.The fleshy tentacles protruding from the abdomen of the blood-devouring lichen, as well as the mouth full of fangs in the middle, were constantly trembling.

After a brief blank moment, he quickly turned his head to one side, trying to avoid the face-attack of the blood-devouring lichen as much as possible.But at this moment, a heavy thing suddenly fell on his collar.

He was startled, and just as he was about to see what it was, he suddenly felt a force pulling him to the side. With his feet as the center of the circle, his body turned a full ninety degrees toward the source of the force.

The attack of the blood-eating lichen was completely in vain, and it fell into the darkness, leaving behind a "whoosh" sound of needles cutting through the air.

"Xiao Ran! Are you okay?!"

At this time, Xiao Ran finally turned his head in relief, and then he saw clearly that there was a flying tiger claw at the collar, and the other end of the tight rope was held in the hands of his second uncle who was also nervous.

It turned out that the second uncle used the flying tiger claw to deflect him by a small half circle and successfully avoided the blood-eating lichen.

Xiao Ran rubbed his knees and gave his second uncle a thumbs up. Then he took off the Flying Tiger Claw from his collar, packed up the Guan Shan Dao and Shen Xing Wu Yu Arrow, and sat on the steps to take a rest.

The second uncle rolled up the rope and walked carefully to his side. After making sure that he was okay, he also sat down against the tree wall.

"Second uncle, you are here, do you remember anything?" Xiao Ran asked.

The second uncle looked at the abyss below, was silent for a while and said: "Let's go further down..."

The two of them were silent, and after resting for a while, they began to slowly go down the steps along the tree wall.Not long after walking, Xiao Ran understood what "it's easy to go up the mountain but hard to go down". Especially since these natural stairs were of different heights and lengths, it greatly increased the difficulty of going downstairs.

The second uncle was already older, and he had just been injured. The two of them almost fell down several times due to weak knees. In the end, they had to walk back for a while to rest, like a sunset red tour group.

The further down he went, the more obvious the damp and stale air below that had been soaked for countless years was. Xiao Ran felt that the goggles of the gas mask were beginning to be covered with moisture.

Fortunately, there was nothing new along the way. After walking for more than an hour, the stairs finally reached the end.When I looked up again, there was only a circle as big as a plate left above.

The overall structure of Tongtian Taisui is like a pot-bellied bottle, which becomes thicker as you go down. Not only does the internal space gradually increase, but the skin composed of fungi and other symbiotic tree branches also becomes thicker. This is why so many deer can be accommodated. The Bian people are buried under trees.

Xiao Ran carefully walked around the edge of the "Big Belly Bottle" hall, checking for possible safety hazards.He noticed that the inner wall of the Tongtian Tai Sui was covered with fluorite of different sizes.At the bottom of the inner wall, there are some doors that have been blocked by mycelium and branches at some distance.

Xiao Ran guessed that the place where these doors lead should be the outermost tree burial tomb.

Compared to him, the second uncle was more excited and more relaxed. He didn't care about the potential danger. He was like a child in a playground, running back and forth and rummaging around.

"Brother, please take a look and see if there are any deadly things around. I can rest assured..."

After more than ten seconds, I heard Shenxing Wuyujian, as if he had just relaxed after holding his breath, saying intermittently: "No...it's not life-threatening...it's not life-threatening...it's...we'll talk about it later... "

Xiao Ran knew that in such a large area, Shenxing Featherless Arrow had to put in a lot of effort to survey it.Since there is no fatal mechanism, then the fatal mechanism is nothing more than a door switch leading to somewhere, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Xiaoran! Xiaoran! I remembered something! The cave is right here! And there are stars!"

At this time, the second uncle repeatedly waved Xiao Ran over. Xiao Ran strode to the second uncle's side and saw an obviously artificial hole under the second uncle's feet.

He was about to ask what was going on with this hole when his second uncle suddenly turned off his flashlight and his. He pointed at the fluorite on the surrounding tree walls and said, "Look! Sifang 28 Houses!"

The so-called 28 houses are 28 constellations.At this time, there was no bright light from the flashlight, and his eyes began to gradually adapt to the dim light of the surrounding fluorite. Only then did Xiao Ran see that the fluorite on the inner wall of Tongtian Taisui was not randomly inlaid, but was inlaid with a pattern of 28 stars in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and northwest.

There is only a disk-sized opening left at the top, just as big as the full moon, hanging in the middle.A faint light that was not very obvious was now shining on the body of the Pseudodontia roensis that fell in the middle.

The four stars and the Taiyin Star appear so uniquely inside the Tongtian Tai Sui. It seems that this is a very important place for the Xinji tribe.

"This hole! I remember that I came in through a big hole in a tomb. There were tombs of nobles from the Jin Kingdom nearby. I must have been fascinated by the bacteria that reached the sky. I remember coming from here, and some messy things. There was a fight, and then a Blood-eating Lichen was taken away!”

The second uncle pointed to the robbery hole at his feet and spoke in general terms.After all, he was confused at the time, and it was so long ago that it was really difficult to remember.

Xiao Ran thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Do you have an idea now? What should we do next?"

The second uncle shook his head: "Let's take a look step by step. There seems to be something in the middle. Let's go and take a look."

The two of them turned on their flashlights again and walked towards the body of Pseudodontus lowii in the center of the hall.
