Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 103 Move On
103 Chapter 1 Move on
When Wu Xie was thinking about it, Chen Pi Asi suddenly trembled. Wu Xie was startled. He was thinking that it was a conditioned reflex to move the corpse. He was just about to comfort himself, "Don't scare yourself." Ah Si suddenly pinched Wu Xie's neck tightly. Chen Pi's body suddenly straightened up, his eyes opened, and he stared at Wu Xie fiercely.

They were all shocked, and I was no exception. My heart suddenly tightened in fear. Fortunately, there was a brother who patted me... Ye Cheng was so frightened that he slipped and fell five or six meters, and so did Fatty and Pan Zi. Startled, he hurriedly stepped back, and the fat man exclaimed: "It's a fake corpse!"

Wu Xie didn't expect that the old man's hands, which were like dry branches, were so strong and clamped tightly on his neck. He wanted to pry his hands away, but he couldn't.

Wu Xie coughed and shouted: "Bring...the hoof, quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Pi Ah Si suddenly let go of his neck, pushed him, and cursed: "What are you talking about?"

That feeling of being pinched until I was suffocated, I also felt like it not long ago... I couldn't help but feel something was wrong with my neck, and I felt a little cold for a moment... I asked the little brother: "Then why is Chen Pi pinching Wu Xie... "

The little brother said to me: "Hypothermia may cause neurological problems, such as expressionlessness, confusion, language barriers, and abnormal behavior. If Chenpi is indeed a short-term shock caused by hypothermia, it is now recovering. , It was just an excessive state just now, so it will be fine after a while."

"Oh, I understand, I know better."

The little brother looked at me and said, "My girl can flatter me now."

"No, I'm telling the truth." I answered very seriously. Then I saw the way he wanted to laugh but didn't. I knew that he was teasing me again and that I praised him so seriously. He should It's also beautiful.

Wu Xie was so frightened at this time that his mind was confused. As soon as Chen Pi let go, he quickly wanted to retreat behind the fat man, but he was stuck by the fat man and refused to let him pass. Wu Xie suddenly woke up and suddenly thought , that’s not right, how can you still talk after you’ve faked the corpse?Looking back at Chen Pi Ah Si, it was obvious that his spirit had improved, his breathing had recovered, and he was alive again...

They all looked at Chen Pi Ah Si with puzzled faces. But at this moment, Chen Pi Ah Si was not only in high spirits, but his energy seemed quite normal. Who would have thought that he had died just now? For a moment, I felt as if I was hallucinating.

Monk Hua was stunned for a while before he came to his senses and asked, "Master, are you okay? What did you just do..."

Chen Pia Si lit a cigarette and said: "What?" It seemed that he didn't remember what happened just now, and he didn't realize that he had been dead for a while...

Monk Hua looked at Chen Pi's expression and felt a little dizzy. Chen Pi'asi gave him a cold look and said, "Don't worry, old man, I won't die so easily."

Seeing that his appearance and tone were still the same, Wu Xie suddenly felt that he had not tricked him just now, right?You are too old to play such tricks.We can only wonder if the talented monk and the fat man made a mistake just now. It is difficult to feel the pulse of the elderly, and the two barefoot doctors may not have touched the right place at all.After all, Chen Pi's Si is old. It's normal for him to be dazed occasionally... Anyway, everything is just speculation.

Although Monk Hua was surprised, he felt relieved when he saw that Chen Pi Asi was fine, so he told Chen Pi Asi what they had discussed just now.Chen Pi looked at the ice cave and pondered for a while and said, "It makes sense. It seems worth trying."

They gathered around the hole and began to discuss the specific issues of going down the hole.

The slope of this hole at the beginning is about [-] degrees. The bottom is very deep and not easy to walk.Pan Zi threw down a fluorescent stick, and the yellow cold light quickly rolled down, bounced a few times in a far distance, and then disappeared.

The little brother patted me and said softly: "Girl, it's time for us to set off."

I pointed to the little moon: "Can I keep this?"

The little brother nodded, took a deep breath with me, closed his eyes and started to clean up. The surrounding cabins began to slowly dissipate, becoming more and more blurry, and gradually disappeared.The fake spiritual palace full of bugs returned to my eyes again, the little moon was still floating around us, and the treasure bag gradually turned back into the small hard ornament and flew back into my hand.

I handed the bag to my brother to put it away, and he led me towards the blasted pit.

Wu Xie said: "According to the trend between these two snow-capped mountains, the direction of the cave usually follows a "V"-shaped route, first going all the way down and then going up. The two snow-capped mountains belong to the same mountain range, and between the peaks The altitude of the canyon is also very high, so the distance of this route should not exceed 5 kilometers. However, if the craftsmen at that time liked to dig in a "Z" shape, then there is nothing we can do. Since this was excavated manually With the passage, you don’t have to worry about oxygen.”

After discussion, they finally decided that Pan Zi would take the lead in exploring the cave.Pan Zi took out the climbing rope, tied one end around the fat man's waist, and threw the other end in from the hole. He had prepared his weapon. If he encountered another corpse, he would deal with it on the spot this time.

When he was ready, Pan Zi climbed down.After about a cigarette, I heard Pan Zi's cry: "It's okay down there, come down."

Then, they climbed down the hole one after another, and the fat man went down last.Suddenly, a group of people crowded at the end of the slope of the stone path above.There I saw a lot of black liquid that must have been left by the corpse. The corpse was nowhere to be seen, and it must have gone deeper into the cave.The little brother took me to the bombed hole. Because of the previous collapse, the hole is still quite big now. The rope they tied to the big pillar is still there. We can use this to slide down the slope. You can reach the Corpse Pavilion.

Standing at the edge of the cave entrance, the boy was testing whether the pillars and ropes were still strong, and said to me: "Are you ready?"

I stared blankly at the entrance of the cave. When I thought that I was really going down, I stood at the edge of the cave entrance, clenching my hands and breaking into a cold sweat. My legs were still a little weak and trembling. There was a hole down there. Corpse... If I said I was ready, I would obviously be lying. If I said I was not ready, it would be inappropriate. I looked at him pitifully, then looked at the hole, nodded slightly and said "Yes".

The little brother made sure that the rope was okay, and stretched out his hand to let me come to him.He looked down at me and said softly: "Hold on to me." He finally tugged on the rope to make sure it was okay, and I hugged him tightly and slid down bit by bit on the rope.

After a while, we landed on the slope. The small moon was floating in the sky, which could illuminate an area of ​​about 10 square meters. It was still a soft light. The little brother said: "Girl, the bright spot, shine below."

He released one hand and hugged me tightly. I pursed my lips. Although I was very reluctant to turn my head, I still had the courage to turn around with my eyes closed. I squinted to get used to it and tried not to pay attention to the things in the hole. , pretending that there is nothing...

I let go of one hand to change the brightness and orientation of the small moon. After adjusting it, I quickly grabbed it with my hand.

The little brother looked down and saw that there were broken bricks falling down under his feet. After confirming the foothold, he started to slide down with ease.We slowly landed on our feet, and when I saw that I had stood firm, my brother let go of the rope. He was stunned for a while, looking around.

Wu Xie and the others were sliding down all the way, and the process was extremely uncomfortable. The tunnel inside was very rough, and rocks were going in and out, which made their buttocks hurt.

The rocks in the cave are all basalt that gushes out during volcanic eruptions. There are a lot of bubbles on them, and the density of the rocks is also very unstable. Some are as hard as iron, and some are as soft as tofu.

The cave went down at an angle, and when it reached the turning point below, it became vertical and narrow. Further inside, the height of the cave continued to increase, and the space seemed to become very large, but it was pitch black and a flashlight could not penetrate.

The little brother didn't move, and I didn't dare to run around, so I looked up at him from time to time.After a while, he sighed deeply.He took my hand and walked along the path cleared by the fat man.

Along the way there were staggered corpses that had been knocked around, as well as limbs or arms and legs that had been knocked off. The scene was still very tragic. I didn’t dare to open my eyes to look at it, but I couldn’t walk with my eyes closed, so I squinted my eyes and tried to stay as calm as possible. The hazy state of seeing clearly and unclearly.

As I walked, I would accidentally step on the pieces of corpses, and they would really turn into powder. I always felt that the people who had been sitting here had been divided and trampled to pieces. It was really What's more... I suddenly remembered what the fat man muttered when he worshiped the mummy last time.

Because I had been watching their progress and had already seen some details here, after finishing his daze, the little brother didn't look around anymore and took me directly to the entrance of the cave.

The little brother said: "Put a little more distance and go down." He then took out the rope from his backpack in a hurry, tied one end to me and the other to him, and brightened the little moon according to the little brother's request. Dim it a little and let it fly in front of us to illuminate. The little brother slowly climbed into the hole, and I followed him closely.

Although the road in this cave is not very easy, we walked very slowly and stopped, so it was relatively easy.

At first, Wu Xie thought that this was a pigeon room deliberately set up by the craftsmen to store air and soil when digging the tunnel. But when he shined a flashlight, he was suddenly stunned. It turned out that the road had already ended here, and the road ahead began to speed up. It shrank and narrowed, leaving only a stone gap that could only be used by one person to enter sideways, and it penetrated deeply into the rock.

Pan Zi didn't quite understand and asked: "Didn't you say that this is the secret way for craftsmen to escape? Why did it become a gap between people? Is this still possible?"

Monk Hua thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "I know, this tunnel uses natural volcanic caves to dig out such a long secret tunnel. This is a passage pre-set by nature. Maybe this A volcanic gap can lead all the way to the Sansheng Mountain on the opposite side. Volcanic caves are very common in the rock formations of volcanic areas. They extend in all directions, and the longest length can be thousands of kilometers, densely covered underground like a spider web."

After hearing this, the fat man said: "Does it mean that we have to go into this gap? You are all okay, but my body shape is quite awkward."

As soon as Wu Xie heard this, he said, "Fat man, just try your best to shrink your belly later." The fat man always said that he couldn't see any results in losing weight. If it was so narrow, his figure would still be really awkward.

Monk Hua said to him: "There is no need to worry about this. This kind of volcanic caves are all dendritic structures. These holes should lead to larger gaps. This is called an underground corridor in geology. Some underground corridors are as large as It's so big that it will even form its own unique ecosystem inside. I believe that the gap will definitely widen soon after entering, because this kind of geological damage starts from the inside." So everyone rested for a while, adjusted their equipment, and the fat man took the lead and continued Climb towards the gap.

The little brother said softly: "We will rest first when we get to that position." I agreed with a "yes".The two of them continued walking forward.
