Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 185
185 Chapter 185 Snake Bones

When Aning saw her brother and I walking to the edge of the rain shelter, I took out the lamp and asked, "Why are you going?" He then looked at me, but I didn't know, so I had to shake my head at him, and she called She said: "Zhang Qiling..." However, the little brother ignored her and just stretched out his hand for me to hand him the wind lantern in my hand. He hung the lantern on the metal buckle on his waist, hugged the tree and climbed down.

I kept looking at him, and when I saw him crawling a short distance, he stopped, grabbed the vines wrapped around the trunk of the tree, and found that they were quite strong, so I grabbed them tightly, staggered a little, and called me, let me I started to go down so that when he could reach me, he could protect me.

He grabbed the vine with one hand and pulled me as much as possible with the other hand. Soon I climbed to his side. He signaled me to stop. He continued to climb down. After a while, he stood up. He looked up at me on the plant cover where he had been sheltering from the rain. I looked down at him and saw him waving at me to get off, so I started to move.

This time when he was able to grab my waist, he grabbed my waist, pinched me up from the vine, and then pushed me into his arms. As soon as I let go, I was caught by him. He hugged it and slowly placed it on the plant cover.

I stood still, and he let go of me, hung the miner's lamp around his waist on a branch, and looked around, as if he was looking for something.

Wu Xie looked at the two of us and curiously asked Aning: "What are they doing down there?"

Aning was looking at the mine lights below with a complicated expression and said to Wu Xie: "I don't know, I asked, but he ignored me and took Xiaoxun down without saying a word. I don't understand your friend. "

Wu Xie sighed and thought about it carefully. It seemed that he was talking seriously to Menyou Ping after the quarrel. After that, Menyou Ping entered a state of almost silence again. His face seemed to be frozen, and there was no expression at all. Never appeared either.

I can't figure out what this man is doing. I don't know what is going on in this man's mind, and I don't know how Xiaoxun can read his thoughts. I guess he has to guess. Either they have been together for a long time and know each other better.Perhaps in the past few decades, he had always been the only one in his world, so there was no need for him to reveal anything, and it had become a habit for him.

At this time, the rain started to rain again. Wu Xie looked at the lights below and felt that the lights should be placed on the branches. At this time, the lights below were swaying in the wind. The lights were swaying and he could not see clearly. Are the two of them there? I'm a little worried, maybe they fell?I thought again, no, no, there must be a sound, and then I thought that this guy is a professional missing person. Could he take this opportunity to escape with Xiaoxun?
Thinking of this, Wu Xie felt uneasy and a little uneasy, so he turned on the miner's lamp and said to Aning, "I'll go down and have a look." Then he braved the heavy rain, hugged the trunk and climbed down carefully section by section, and climbed to the bottom. By the side of the miner's lamp, I looked around, and felt a chill in my heart. I quickly checked under the cover of the plant where everyone was hiding from the rain. It was empty. There was really no figure of Menyouping and Xiaoxun!

He was so angry that he couldn't help but cursed: "What a bastard!" He felt very uncomfortable and muttered: "Did he really run away! He...how could this person be like this? The damn fat guy did something bad and still fought with himself. Just to say hello, does this Menyoupin pretend that we don’t exist at all? It’s really too much. Xiaoxun also followed him in his mischief, and he led him to bad things. I was so angry..."

Just when Wu Xie was furious and wanted to call Fatty and the others down to discuss countermeasures, suddenly the whole branch moved. Wu Xie's heart trembled and he was suddenly startled.

In front of him, the stuffy oil bottle was protruding from the darkness above the plant cover. He was slightly stunned, and then he heard a very soft laughter behind him. He turned around and looked, Xiaoxun didn't know when he stood behind him, and he was so silent and elusive... He couldn't help but said: "Are you two trying to scare people to death?"

I waved my hands and said, "I didn't. Last time I called you from behind, you almost fell down, so I didn't say anything this time because I was afraid of scaring you."

Wu Xie said "Huh?" and after thinking about it, it seemed to make sense...

I smiled and whispered to him: "Are you afraid that my little brother will suddenly disappear again?"

Wu Xie quietly said "Yes", I barely opened my mouth and lowered my voice and said: "Me too, he ran away last time and I searched for him for many years. I finally got him back this time, so I won't let him go again." He ran away."

Wu Xie looked at me as he spoke, his eyes still staring at the oil bottle very seriously. Looking at Xiaoxun's appearance in front of him, he felt that if something happened to the oil bottle or disappeared, she would definitely collapse. He might She also couldn't accept the fact that he suddenly disappeared, but fortunately he didn't just leave like that. It was just a false alarm, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Wu Xie looked up at his little brother and saw him standing on top of the cover. He asked me, "What is he doing?"

I said to him: "I just checked this insect. I guess I am looking for the reason why the insect got on the tree."

Wu Xie asked with some doubts: "Have you checked? How did you check? You don't have anything with you, right?" He suddenly noticed that there was something like a Bluetooth headset plugged into one of my ears, and continued: "It's raining heavily now. Are you wearing headphones? You're not holding any equipment, but there's not even a signal? How did you check?"

I said "uh": "Of course I have my own way, but that's not important. Let's talk about the bugs first. Grass ticks are very scary little creatures in the desert, but they are found in the desert. A small insect common in grasslands and desert areas, usually dormant on the grass and plants in shallow hills and hills, or lodged in the fur of livestock animals.

But you see, they are now in groups on the trees. This is not their living environment, so there must be something up there. "As he said this, the little brother looked at us and waved us up.

I said to him: "Brother Wu Xie, let's go, they're calling us." Then we each found a strong vine and climbed up.

As soon as we went up, we saw that the plant cover was covered with branches, parasitic vines, and ferns intertwined with each other, and it was also covered with moss.

The little brother has cut a large piece with a knife, and a large number of vines inside have also been cut off. A bad smell wafted out from it. The rain washed away a large number of tiny grass ticks from these vines. There was something wrapped inside, and I said, "That thing inside seems to be the source of the bugs..."

Wu Xie asked his brother: "Meng Youping, what are you looking for in this pile of things?"

The little brother pulled open a large piece of dead vine again, and in an instant, a large group of insects surged out from the gap.Wu Xie was so frightened that he quickly backed away and bumped into me. It hurt so much and scared me. He almost fell from the tree. Fortunately, it was a heavy rain, and the grass ticks were washed away by the rain.

Wu Xie hurriedly held on to a branch on one side, covered his nose and leaned over again. This time he saw something entangled inside the cover.

I muttered in a low voice: "It's really a corpse, right?" Wu Xie said: "Well, it's an animal remains wrapped in rotting fur. The skin has rotted into black."

The little brother inserted a dagger into the fur and stirred it up. He saw that the remains had rotted away, and there were bones inside the skin. The vines had grown into its body, entangled in its bones, and tightly entwined the remains and the tree. Together.It was covered with moss before, and it didn't look much different from the plant hybrids wrapped around ordinary trees, so it wasn't discovered.

I asked him: "Brother, what kind of corpse is this?"

The little brother frowned and said, "I don't know what kind of animal it is. It's very big. It may have died of disease after sucking blood from these bugs. Before it died, it lay on the tree. As a result, it attracted all the bugs around and sucked them alive." After that, the insects rested on the corpse, waiting for the next victim."

Wu Xie listened to him and remembered that he was sheltering from the rain just now. He retched several times and covered his mouth and asked: "The grass ticks here are so powerful? The corpses are all rotten. How can they still survive?" not dead?"

The little brother shook his head and looked down at the pile of bones again, thinking about something. Suddenly he seemed to have an idea and pulled out his black gold ancient sword. I was so scared that I coughed and knew what he was going to do again... My heart tightened.

He made a cut on his palm, squeezed the wound hard, and blood flowed out from his palm. Then he held Wu Xie's sleeve and dipped the blood on it.

It was so sudden that Wu Xie was stunned, and his whole brain was covered. Before he realized what the little brother meant, he suddenly leaned over, stretched out his strangely long fingers, and touched the bloody His hand reached into the bones under the vines.

Suddenly, countless grass ticks swarmed out of it like a tide. Wu Xie screamed "Ah" in fright, and at the same time, the little brother's hand pulled something out of the bones like lightning.

Maybe I was used to seeing swarms of bugs that suddenly appeared several times before, and I knew that the bugs were afraid of me, so I didn’t need to be too scared. My brother bled me again, and I already knew what would happen next, so I wasn’t scared by the bugs. Instead, he was frightened by Wu Xie's sudden shouting. His heart was pounding and he said tremblingly: "Brother Wu Xie, these bugs are not that scary..."

Wu Xie said: "Meng Youping, I said you moved too fast, can't you make some preparations...Xiao Xun, why don't you seem afraid?"

Now that I had regained my composure, I looked at him and said, "I knew I was going to see this as soon as he started bleeding."

Wu Xie calmed down for a moment, sighed and calmed down, and found that in an instant, there was no insect around him. The power of the blood from the Menyou bottle was amazing, but he suddenly became depressed again. He was in the Qinling Mountains and On the snowy mountain, I felt that my blood also had this ability, but I don't know why it didn't seem to work on these bugs here. Is there any difference between the blood of Menyoubo and my own blood?Isn’t your blood hot enough?

What's going on with Xiaoxun? Bugs won't look for her. Does she also have this kind of blood?So what is the relationship between them?

He knew that Menyou Ping was always fierce in his work and did not hesitate, but he did not expect that he would reach out to such disgusting bones and so many bugs without changing his expression. However, this guy finally had a conscience and put it on his sleeves. Wipe away the blood, otherwise he would really kill me this time.

Wu Xie wanted to go over and have a look. He patted me, who was a little timid. Do you want to go and have a look?I nodded and braved him to follow him.

The little brother put the thing that was picked out from the bones and looked at it carefully under the light of the miner's lamp. He found that it was a green object about the size of a fist. He took it and stretched his hand to a place with heavy rain and rinsed it. After taking it back for a while, Wu Xie recognized it immediately and said: "This is an old-fashioned copper flashlight, right? It should be something after the reform and opening up in the 90s and [-]s. Why is it twisted like this..."

The little brother took a brief look at the rusty green copper shell, unscrewed the back cover and saw that the battery inside was as rotten as a ball of moldy rice pudding.

At this time, the little brother closed his eyes and put his hand into the bones again. Soon he caught something, which seemed to be very big. He also used his other hand to dig it out.

Then I saw him pulling out a piece of human hand bone from the inside. It was so rotten that it was full of holes, and the holes were filled with black and rotten dirt...

I subconsciously shrank behind Wu Xie. Wu Xie looked at the bone and didn't know what to say. He just said: "Uh... this..."

The little brother said expressionlessly: "This is a big tree python that ate a person. This flashlight belonged to that person, and it was a woman."

Wu Xie saw a string of things that seemed to be decorations stuck to the hand bones. He couldn't see clearly for the time being. He knew that his brother was right. He suddenly became excited and said, "This oasis has a strange terrain. Only It can only be discovered after a heavy rainstorm. Not many people can come here. It happens that they find this place during heavy rain, and then break in and be eaten by the giant python. Although this kind of thing may happen, the chance is not high. "

I answered: "Brother, do you think this person may be the group led by Wen Jin and Huo Ling?"

The little brother probably thought so, and Wu Xie probably thought so too. The little brother looked up at Aning and the others above, and said to Wu Xie: "Go up and ask them to come down to help. Dig out this snake bone and see what's inside." who is it?"

Wu Xie immediately responded, turned around, climbed up a few steps, and shouted upwards.At this time, the fat man was already climbing down. When he heard Wu Xie's cry, he quickened his pace. He jumped to him and asked him what was wrong?
Wu Xie said to him: "We have made a great discovery." Then he shouted to the top: "Pan Zi, Aning, come down quickly, we have made a great discovery."

I sighed. I didn't care about any of this. I just looked at his hand and wanted to pull him over and treat him. However, it seemed that the time was not right now, so I had to wait.
