Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 193 Xiao Hong’s Attack
193 Chapter 193 Xiaohong is coming

After hearing what the younger brother said, they all became alert.I looked at the footprints they said by the light, and they said that those things climbed up from the water.The crawling traces left behind are indeed a bit strange, as if they are caused by the cyclical movement of something, and if it can crawl out such traces, it must be quite long.

They all looked towards the footprints.Pan Zi had already picked up his short gun, aimed at Aning's body, and asked: "Then what should we do now?"

The little brother gestured for everyone to take a few steps back. He held up the miner's lamp to shine on Aning's body, and motioned to Wu Xie to wake up the fat man immediately.Then he asked me to stand behind him, pulled out my little black gold and held it in my hand.

Wu Xie's nerves became tense again at this moment. He hurriedly stepped back to the fat man. He first took out the dagger from the fat man, and then slapped him several times. He found that the fat man was sleeping deeply, and his face was covered with sweat, except for his brows. I moved a little bit but couldn't wake up.

Wu Xie muttered in confusion: "Why are you sweating so much...are you dreaming? You are not sick, are you?" He reached out to touch the fat man's forehead and said strangely: "No..."

At this time, I looked back at Wu Xie and Fatty. Fatty hadn't woken up yet. Wu Xie called him a little anxiously. At this moment, I inadvertently saw something on the ground over there. I quickly called out He said: "Brother Wu Xie." He pointed to the ground.

When Wu Xie was about to pinch the fat man awake, he heard me calling him and he looked over.At the same time, I pulled the little brother and pointed to the ground on the fat man's side for them to see.

I saw that next to where the fat man was lying, there were more and messier tiny mud marks than those around Aning.

When Wu Xie saw it, he quickly stood up and stepped back, shouting: "Pan Zi."

Pan Zi turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wu Xie pointed to the place where the mud marks were, showed him, and said, "There's one here too!"

Pan Zi took aim at Aning's body and retreated to us. He looked down and cursed: "Damn it!" and moved the gun head over.

The little brother took me back to the fat man's side. They looked at the fat man and then at the body.I saw Pan Zi and the little brother making a gesture and exchanging some opinions.

Following Pan Zi, he raised his gun and retreated to the edge of the rock at his feet, away from the corpse and the fat man, while monitoring these two directions.

The little brother handed the lamp to Wu Xie and asked him to shine it on the fat man. Then he pushed me towards Wu Xie. In order to maintain maximum flexibility in the event of an accident, he bent down and crouched with his feet. He approached the fat man in a bent, semi-crouched posture, and without looking back, he made a gesture to Wu Xie, asking him to shine the light on the footprints next to the fat man.

The moment Wu Xie moved the light over, two or three unknown objects suddenly flew out from under the fat man's shoulders as fast as lightning, and passed through the range of the light.

Wu Xie reflexively held up the light and drew in the direction of those things rushing out, but unfortunately nothing was illuminated.

The little brother reacted surprisingly quickly, turned around quickly, and gave up before even taking the first step. The thing was really moving far and fast, and the little brother couldn't do anything.

Immediately afterwards, I heard a series of sounds of something unknown jumping into the swamp.At the same time, there was the same series of "plop-plop" sounds coming from Aning's body.The little brother hurriedly waved his hand to Wu Xie to go over and look into the water.

I rushed over with him. Wu Xie raised his miner's lamp and shined it into the water. He saw ripples and a few water marks in the water quickly go away and dive into the swamp.

Wu Xie asked: "Is it really a snake?"

I asked: "Is it Xiaohong?"

The little brother nodded gloomily and said, "It's that kind of cockscomb snake."

Wu Xie said: "It seems that the legend is right. This kind of snake is extremely vindictive and behaves strangely. Now it has come to the door." Wu Xie was suddenly stunned for a moment and then said: "The fat man can't wake up. It's time for him to wake up." Could it be that he has been bitten?" After saying that, we immediately went over to see the fat man.

Since we didn’t know if all the snakes were gone, we approached cautiously.

Wu Xie pushed him first. Unexpectedly, he woke up after pushing this time and sat up suddenly, which surprised us.However, I saw that his face was a little pale and he was in a daze.

The fat man squinted at us and then looked at the sky. He saw us all staring at him. He felt that we were a little confused. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "You are all looking at us like this." What am I going to do? I have flowers on my face?"

I asked him: "Brother Fatty, are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

The fat man looked confused and said, "No, no, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that he was like this, he should be fine, but Wu Xie was still a little worried. Wu Xie said, "Don't move yet, I'll let you take a look." Then he looked at him carefully, pulled him, and checked him.

The fat man became more energetic now. He stared with confusion and said, "I'm so naive. Tell me what you have to say. Why are you doing anything? What are you doing? What are you looking at?"

Wu Xie did not answer his question, but said: "Take off your clothes."

Then they crossed their arms in front of their chests and hugged themselves and said: "What are you doing! Fatty, I'm not a prostitute." He grabbed his clothes tightly, twisted his body, stared at his eyes and raised his eyebrows, with a special expression. funny.

Wu Xie didn't bother to talk nonsense to him and just started scratching him. While scratching, he said: "The cockscomb snake came just now. Let me see if you have been bitten. Take it off quickly. Hurry up. You looked like you were dead in sleep just now." Can I show you what to do if I'm poisoned?" The fat man felt even more confused and asked him: "No, wait, you explain the matter clearly before taking action. Besides, the girl is still watching here, you Just take off my clothes, that’s not appropriate.”

Wu Xie said: "You are still shy, stop inking, hurry up, it will be fatal if you are bitten."

The little brother stretched out his hand and pulled me into his arms, asking me to look at him. I just put my head on him, which was so comfortable.

Wu Xie glanced at us and said to the fat man: "Okay, take your hands away. I'll tell you while I'm watching."

The fat man reluctantly let go of his hand and said to him: "Look at you, you are so impatient, let me show you." The fat man no longer resisted, Wu Xie quickly told him what happened and confirmed it while checking him. , the fat man was indeed not bitten, so he felt relieved.

The fat man was doubtful after hearing this, and looked at Wu Xie with a frown.

Wu Xie said: "To put it simply, if it was a cockscomb snake, then this matter would be serious, and it is true that it is not safe here.

I whispered: "It must be from the cockscomb snake."

Wu Xie asked hurriedly: "Ah? So sure."

I said, "Although we didn't see them clearly, I can't see them wrong."

The fat man smiled and said, "That's right, you must believe everything he said, and so do we, but do you have any more solid evidence?"

I leaned close to my brother and tilted my head and said to them: "Yes, your inference is that this thing swam up from the water. So, overall, the crawling traces of this thing are relatively long, so it should be a strip-shaped creature." What’s left is that the most numerous strip-shaped creatures in this place are snakes.”

Wu Xie lowered his voice and said, "I actually felt that the traces looked like snakes crawling across them, but I can't tell for sure. I always felt that there was something strange about them."

I said: "Generally, snakes crawl in three ways. The kind that crawls meanderingly has large S-shaped waves. The crawler type has its abdominal scales raised, and the scales are stuck to the ground layer by layer. , and then moves forward like a tank track. There is also a telescopic type. The front part of the snake's body is lifted up and stretched forward as much as possible. When the body touches the ground, the back half of the snake will retract forward, alternately stretching and contracting. Crawling forward, this kind of crawling is like jumping.

Look at the traces on the ground, they are dots and lines. I think they are like a species that crawls with telescopic movements. I saw the cockscomb snake standing up before, so it is very likely that it crawled like that.

This snake should be an ancient species in the forest. You saw it too. There were several of them moving together just now. Maybe they were moving in groups. There can't be only one.

Besides, you said it would take revenge? "

After hearing this, Pan Zi nodded and said, "I think what Miss Xiaoxun said is very reasonable. How about we take another look. We can't let down our guard anymore."

Wu Xie said: "It's just these snakes, why are they turning over the body? And the fat man is fine. They all ran away when they saw us. They still feel something is wrong. What are they here for?"

The little brother said: "Go over there and have a look." As he said that, the little brother took me and walked to the side of Aning's body, and they also followed.

Wu Xie looked at the swamp next to Aning's body. It was completely black now and nothing could be seen. The stones next to the body were full of traces of the snakes leaving just now.

Pan Zi patted the top and bottom of the body with his gun to see if there were any snakes inside, and whispered to himself: "What a damn evil. Could it be that these snakes really opened this sleeping bag?"

The little brother squatted down and checked Aning's body, but found nothing strange. He said softly: "Turn on the miner's lamps. I want to take a closer look at the underwater situation around me."

They did as the little brother said. The four of them turned on the miner's lamp and started shooting into the water in four directions. After just a few sweeps, they suddenly heard the fat man behind them exclaimed: "Oh, shit!"

We thought the snake had appeared again, so we immediately turned around and followed Fatty's light, and saw a human figure about twenty meters away in the swamp in front of us, as if he had emerged from the mud of the swamp.

Several people immediately gathered all the lights and saw a man covered in mud, standing in waist-deep water, looking straight at us like a water ghost.

The fat man shouted: "What the hell is this?"

The little brother took a closer look and exclaimed: "Oh my God, it's Chen Wenjin!" As he said that, he rushed into the swamp and waded towards the man.

I was immediately confused and said: "Can you tell from this? Brother! Wait for me!" As soon as he ran away, I panicked. As soon as I panicked, I felt even more uncomfortable. I couldn't run even two steps. I almost fainted, but Wu Xie supported me from behind and asked, "Are you okay?" I waved my hand weakly, thinking to myself, why do I have a high fever now?

At that moment, Wu Xie didn't know how he could be sure that the man was Wen Jin. The clay figure was covered in mud from head to toe. For him, he couldn't tell whether it was a boy or a girl. But At this time, without thinking much, he shouted: "Pan Zi, go help!" They rushed over, helped me to the water's edge and shouted to me: "Don't move here."

Following a few of them, they all rushed into the water after the little brother.
