Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 181 Basin
Chapter 181181 Basin

For those waiting outside, there was no news from us during these days inside. Most people thought we would never come back, and many even despaired.

The rain has not stopped, but it is relatively light at the moment. A few scattered people can be seen in the camp. When they saw us returning safely, they were all dumbfounded and couldn't believe their eyes. They were very surprised. Some foreigners said "Oh! " looked at us, and after a while the people in the tent also poked their heads out to look at us. I also saw someone rubbing his eyes, which should be to confirm whether he was dazzled.

My stinky master is also outside in the drizzle at the moment. He looks quite comfortable. There are small raindrops on his sunglasses. He is sitting lazily on a stone alone. He is still the same unhurried and unhurried look. When he sees us He waved his hand to say hello to us. Looking from a distance, I felt that he was a little lonely.

He says he is my master, but in fact he still exists very mysteriously in my world.This time recently is the longest time we have spent together. I tried to analyze his true mood. The answer is not sure yet. His big sunglasses blocked his eyes, which greatly affected the small window to observe his soul. However, his There seems to be a difference in laughter.

I tilted my head and looked at him curiously, with a serious expression on my face, trying to guess whether he was happy or indifferent about our safe return.

The black blind man looked at me and asked, "What's wrong? I haven't missed me so much in a few days. Aren't you afraid that the mute will get jealous when you look at me like this?"

I said "Ah", "Why are you jealous, little brother? You are different from him. You are the master, and he is..."

The fat man interjected with a wicked smile: "What is he?"

I looked at the fat man and said, "He...he is an important person."

The black blind man and the fat man both said "oh" with evil looks on their faces.The fat man repeated: "Important people." Then the two of them started to smile evilly.

I pulled the little brother and said, "Brother, these two are so weird." The little brother patted me, and I felt like he was saying, "Ignore them."

Uncle San's team hasn't caught up yet, and time is already tight. We plan to take a day off, and the vanguard will set off first.

I heard Pan Zi say to Wu Xie: "The black blind man is waiting for the Third Master here. Little Third Master, I think you should wait until the Third Master arrives before deciding whether to go in."

But Wu Xie patted Pan Zi and said, "I'll be the vanguard with you, that's it."

Pan Zi naturally had no idea and said, "Well, you have a good rest first, and I'll go get ready."

Aning was arranging her team on the side, but most of them wanted to go back, and she also looked sad.

Wu Xie went to see the Caucasian's condition, and the fat team doctor said to him: "His condition is very bad. We have heard that there is a team behind us. When they arrive, we must borrow a car to take him back immediately."

Aning arranged for the few men left behind, then found Pan Zi and said, "I want to join your team."

Pan Zi was stunned for a moment and looked at her without saying a word. Aning said again: "I don't care what you want to do, but we have the same purpose now. After all, we took the lead first, why not cooperate and find it together."

Pan Zi said "Uh": "This..." He looked a little hesitant and looked directly at Wu Xie.

Wu Xie thought that it didn't matter if she was there, and it might help her find the way. Anyway, there were several people in his group, none of them were vegetarians, and they weren't afraid of her troubles, so he said, "A Ning, let's go together, I think." no problem."

Pan Zi didn't know what to say, so he just said hesitantly: "Little Third Master, this...this..."

Wu Xie said to Pan Zi: "We have a car on this section of the road, and it's not a dangerous section. Let's just take it as it is."

Pan Zi couldn't resist him and had to say: "Okay, the mistress said so, let's go together. We will set off in a day. You are ready to prepare."

Aning nodded and agreed, then left to do other things.

The ground was wet and not suitable for setting up a tent. Anyway, we just had a day off, so we stayed in the unused car.

After resting for a day, the rain stopped, and we, the pioneers, were ready to set off. Wu Xie stood in front of the car and suddenly thought of a problem. Pan Zi was driving, Fatty was sitting in the passenger seat, and he, Menyou Ping, Xiao Xun, Aning, four people sitting in the back... suddenly said "uh", thinking, considering the space of the car, it is actually not too crowded for four of them to sit together in the back, but...

The fat man looked at it, poked Wu Xie with his elbow, tilted his head and said, "It seems your back seat is a bit crowded." He blinked and winked at him.Wu Xie understood that this might be talking about Aning. Now she was a little nicer to him, but she was still a bit arrogant and it was a bit awkward to be crowded together.

Fatty and Pan Zi had already gotten into the car, and the younger brother asked me to sit in first. He followed and closed the door.He likes to stare at the sky quietly in a daze, so he has to be next to the window, and he can also look at the situation outside. I have to be close to him and listen to his heartbeat, so the position is relatively fixed. Everyone is used to it, and soon we Now that everyone is seated, Wu Xie and Aning are the only ones left.

The two of them stood in front of the car door on the other side. Wu Xie was hesitant about who would get in first. Unexpectedly, Aning was so happy that he took Wu Xie's arm, pulled him and pushed him into the car. Wu Xie hurriedly went to I moved here, and Aning got into the car. As soon as the door was closed, his face was expressionless. Wu Xie felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Except for the little brother, who didn't react at all, we all wanted to laugh.

After being washed away by rain, the water level in the riverbed gradually rose, and many tributaries appeared in the riverbed, so we had to look for them one by one.

After that, we followed the water to find it, and walked deeper and deeper into the Gobi. However, we never saw the rock mountain.

Later, Wu Xie and Aning changed places. He kept holding the telescope to look outside. He felt that the lenses were almost cracked, but he still couldn't find it.Later, we stopped to rest on the edge of the river bed and found that one of the car's tires was very worn, and later one of the tires was broken. We could only drive for a while, then got down to pump some air, and then continued driving.

After looking for a long time and not seeing it, the fat man said: "What kind of rock mountain is that? Could it be that the old woman was talking nonsense and there is no such mountain at all? Or that thing is just a bigger mound. Did you blow it off?"

Wu Xie said: "I don't quite understand how this could be, but I feel like she didn't lie to us. Maybe the direction of the ancient river has changed..."

The fat man said: "What should we do? If we keep going like this, we will run out of gas. It will be very difficult for us to go back."

Pan Zi said: "The place where the river water gathers is the lowest point of the entire plain. There should be a lake there. How about we find that lake first, and then start looking for traces of the river course from the lake. This can at least narrow the scope."

Wu Xiejue said with some truth: "This is the only way it can be, then that's it."

After that, we continued on our way and drove up a slope. Suddenly, Pan Zi cursed loudly and at the same time, he braked and we all hit the seat cushion in front of us.

The fat man said "Ouch" and cursed: "What the hell did you see?" He looked forward and said, "Damn it! Where are you going... You're going to heaven..."

With this bump, I was overcome by the motion sickness that I was suppressing. I felt weak and started to sweat coldly, but I had to endure it because something seemed to be wrong.

Our two front wheels were already in the air, the front of the car had rushed out, and the car was stuck on the edge of the cliff.

To get out of the car, we have to keep the balance of the car body. Those of us in the back row don't move first and hold down the weight. Let Pan Zi and Fatty get out of the car slowly, holding on to the car and holding down the weight. The younger brother and Wu Xie get off again, and finally It was Aning and I. I was carried down by the little brother. When I landed, I collapsed on the ground. I couldn't vomit, so I leaned on the little brother to slow down.

They walked to the edge of the cliff and took a look. In front of them was a huge basin filled with smoke. Wu Xie said, "It's a huge oasis sunken in the Gobi!"

It took us two days to finally find this dangerous oasis.

Breathing the air outside, I calmed down a little. My brother helped me up and we walked over.

The scene in front of me is indeed spectacular. This basin is very large, especially round, and looks very neat, like... I was just thinking about it when I heard the fat man say: "Do you think this shape looks like a crater?"

I think it makes sense. This crater is so round. It might have been smashed out in the early years. A meteorite crater?siderite?Meteor jade?Aren't those two things just meteorites? It should be normal to have such big craters.

Looking down from the cliff, the smoke below is slowly swirling, and it is almost entirely dense tree crowns. It is difficult to see anything clearly.Moreover, this kind of forest pit always seemed familiar to me. The basin looked like a bowl, a bowl... I grabbed my brother and said quietly to him: "Brother, this place feels the same as the previous place." Blinking, it seemed that he looked the same.

Wu Xie said: "It seems that this should be Tamutuo. Unexpectedly, we discovered it in this way. It seems a bit too simple."

Pan Zi had already backed up the car and took out his binoculars. They looked at the basin and thought about it.

Pan Zi said: "It seems that the rocky mountain where Dingzhu Dolma and Wenjin separated has indeed disappeared. This is the Yangai area. It may be that because of several rains over the past few decades, only the soil remains. It’s covered, so we can’t recognize it even if it’s in front of us, but we can still find it by following the direction of the river.”

Wu Xie asked Pan Zi: "Now that we have found the oasis, what should we do next?"

Pan Zi said to him: "Since we have arrived, of course we should go down and take a look first."

Wu Xie felt uneasy and said: "But Wen Jin's notes say that this place is very dangerous, but..."

Pan Zi heard Wu Xie's notes and the message from the designated master Zhuoma, so he said: "If I go by what you told me, I'm afraid Wen Jin is already down there now. We can't wait for the third master to meet up now, so we should go in first to see the situation. , then Wen Jin is the third master’s woman, that is the master’s wife. If the master’s wife is missed because she is waiting for the third master, I will no longer have to be a clerk. Besides, time is running out.”

Wu Xiexin said, "You are really a filial subordinate..." But in fact, he thought so himself, so he asked everyone for their opinions.

Needless to say, the little brother would naturally nod. I saw that he was as anxious as the third uncle, so I naturally followed him.

The fat man said: "I have no problem. If you say go, we will go."

Wu Xie looked at An Ning and said, "I have no problem." In fact, An Ning already knew it without asking, so he must have gone there too.Everyone answered very happily, so I happily decided to go in first.

Next, they asked Wu Xie to study how to enter the basin.Wu Xie said: "They entered the basin through a canyon. However, the landform here has completely changed. From her route description, it seems that the canyon cannot be found. So, let's drive around the basin to find it first. .”

They all nodded, and then we got back in the car and circled the basin. After Pan Zi made a big circle, about four kilometers into the basin, we finally found the intersection of a wide canyon, and we drove Went in until we saw rocks blocking the way ahead, then we got out of the car and prepared to walk in.
