Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Walking in the twisted and looping passage, Xiao Ran's scalp felt tight.

The surface of these channels is like a hard and thick tire, which becomes slightly elastic when pressed hard. It must be the same as Tongtian Taisui, which is made of extremely thick bacterial matter.

But the surface of these cave walls is covered with textures of varying thicknesses. When the light of the Wolf Eye flashlight passes over it, it can be seen that under the fungus on the surface, there is a network of blood-colored corals that are constantly squirming like blood vessels.

Xiao Ran walked forward quickly, goosebumps appearing on his body layer by layer.

Fortunately, this journey did not last too long. He saw the old deer slowing down and walking forward while sniffing. The crawling rustling of hundreds of deer in front also stopped.

Xiao Ran followed the old man around a corner and saw people of all sizes gathering on an approximately circular gray-white wall, jumping around and looking at the old man.

The old man's beard twitched a few times as he sniffed, and then he made a sound that was a mixture of teeth grinding and barking.

Xiao Ran was about to ask Bei Jiuguo if he knew what these immortals were doing, when the group of deer in front of him suddenly dispersed. Some of them climbed up to the edge of the upper semicircle of the round wall, and the rest were scattered around the lower semicircle. Periphery.

There was another rubbing sound from the old squirrels, and the group of squirrels immediately began to nibble at the edge of the round wall as if they had received an order.

Xiao Ran looked at the construction work in front of the group of pigeons and found that the material of this round wall seemed to be somewhat different from the four walls. It looked like a mouth ulcer in a person's mouth.

But this round wall looked very familiar. He stepped forward and raised his hand to press it. He suddenly remembered that this was the kind of non-Newtonian fluid gum wall he had encountered on the top of Tongtian Taisui before.

Thinking of this, he felt worried again, and he didn't know where his second uncle had gone.These immortals with supernatural powers and spiritual knowledge must have some purpose in bringing him here. Maybe we can also ask them to help find his second uncle later...

While he was thinking, he pressed against the wall, and suddenly the group of deer suddenly dispersed. He felt that his hands were empty, and he almost stumbled down.Instinctively, he stood still with small steps, but the flashlight light hit the big soap-like wall, and he fell forward half-collapsed and half-collapsed.

There was a loud noise and bursts of dust rose in the air. Xiao Ran quickly closed his eyes and turned away, took out a gas mask and put it on himself.But some dust had already been trapped in his mask, causing him to sneeze non-stop.

When the dust cleared, he lowered his head and took a look around, only to find that most of the deer had disappeared.Several smaller juvenile deer turned to look at his face, and suddenly they were so frightened that they turned their bellies, squeaked, and sprayed feces and urine all over the floor. Then they got up and dispersed.

The surroundings suddenly fell into silence, and Xiao Ran felt uncomfortable for a moment without these animals.He tried calling the artifacts, but they made no sound.

Xiao Ran's heart tightened. In his mind, if something like this happened, it meant that there might be something more powerful nearby, cutting off the communication between him and the artifact.

He gritted his teeth, held the Guanshan knife handle with one hand, raised the wolf-eye flashlight with the other hand, and boldly stepped into the round door.

The door blocked by the gum fluid now flowed into a puddle on the ground and merged with the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye. It eventually seeped down along the irregular lines on the ground and finally disappeared.

Xiao Ran looked at the scene in front of him, and felt a bit of unexpected calmness in his heart.Since the entire Tongtian Taisui tree is a huge living body, it naturally forms an interlocking ecosystem inside it, and it is normal for it to recycle its own body.

Recycling?Thinking of this, another rustling sound suddenly sounded behind him.He yelled in his heart that it was bad, and quickly turned around to take photos.

Sure enough, the round door behind him continued to gush out resinous fluid from the edge to the center. The round door, which was originally nearly two meters in diameter, was closing rapidly at this time.

Xiao Ran's whole body tensed up, and he quickly drew his knife and slashed at the exit, which was only as thick as his waist.But as soon as the blade came into contact with the fluid, the fluid seemed to be alive, and finger-thick hyphae actively surged up towards the blade.

When Xiao Ran saw this, he quickly drew his sword back.But those gray gelatinous substances stuck the Guan Shan Dao very firmly, and he had to pull it backwards with all his strength, until the wet dough-like hyphae were stretched to the limit, and then they shrank back one by one.When he finally pulled out the Guan Shan Dao, the doorway in front had been completely closed and returned to the state before entering.

Xiao Ran kicked hard at the gray-white film. The gray-white film was extremely hard and made his knees ache. He had to give up the idea of ​​using this thing to vent his anger.

Without the help of Zhanbao, I can only check to see if there is any liquid nearby.He turned towards the door and looked up, down, left, and right, and found that this place was roughly a spherical hall. On the arched walls where the light could reach, there were many nearly round gray-white membranes of different sizes. There must be many passages. This spherical hall is connected to other places.

Looking at it from a distance, the white membranes reminded Xiao Ran of the time when he had chickenpox when he was a child, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps again.

However, compared to the discomfort caused by this kind of intensive fear, what made him more uncomfortable and helpless was that he recalled the experience of the original owner of his body more and more frequently, and his adaptation to and even familiarity with this memory gave him a trace of... fear.

There was a sudden "click-click" sound in the darkness ahead, and Xiao Ran's thoughts were interrupted. He quickly raised the knife to protect his chest, and at the same time shined the flashlight forward.

The flashlight light scattered into a blurry halo at the end of the range. The radius of this hall must be at least 30 meters.Xiao Ran walked forward cautiously, instead of swinging the flashlight to check the surrounding environment.

As he continued to move forward, some broken bones and rags scattered in the ravines began to appear on the ground that was originally only dust and vines.Xiao Ran originally guessed that these were the remains of deer or their prey, but when some round white human skulls appeared, his heart started to lift again.

One...two...thirteen...twenty...

He couldn't help but count the number of skulls. It wasn't until he reached fifty that he realized that there were more and more human skulls around him and he could no longer count them.

If these bones were also scattered in a ring, based on the estimates that could only be seen just now, there must be at least two to three hundred from the outermost periphery to the position that his flashlight can reach now.And this number must be doubled at least several times as the skull becomes denser as you go deeper.

Where on earth is this place? Why are there piles of corpses? It’s like entering the corpse forest...

There was nowhere to go before Xiao Ran's eyes. There were some complete human skeletons near the inside, and the clothes on them were not like the rags outside.

At this time, the flashlight light had already illuminated the scene in the center of the hall. A giant black pillar with a rough appearance and segmented like a tower was standing among the piles of bones.Xiao Ran raised the flashlight. The flashlight light could not reach the top of the black tower, and he could not guess the height of the black tower.

Xiao Ran thought in his heart that the only thing he could do now was to continue moving forward and get closer to the black tower to find out what was going on. Maybe there was a way to escape.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, he clasped his hands together and recited a few lines from the "Suffering Sutra" he learned from the Yin Yang Mirror. Then he bent down and used an engineering shovel to pull the bones on the ground, trying to clear a way.

Before he had taken a few steps, the clothing of several corpses caught his attention.Several corpses near the inside were actually wearing clothes from his generation, and some engineer shovels of the same style as his were scattered nearby.

He bent down and took a closer look, and even found a rucksack, a wolf-eye flashlight and other tools, and he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable chill in his heart.

At this moment, there was a sudden gust of wind in his ears. Xiao Ran instinctively stood up and dodged quickly. He only heard a "dang" sound and something landed exactly where his head was when he bent down.

By the flashlight, he saw that it was a mutilated and rusted engineering shovel, held in the hands of a rickety man covered in rags.
