Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 207 Discovery Camp
207 Chapter 2 Discovering the Camp
Wu Xie and Fatty were shocked. Fatty said, "You really don't have a moment of leisure. You said... you can't even take a break."

Wu Xie said: "These grass ticks are bloodthirsty and must have been attracted by the snake's blood. Think about it, it's been a long time since the grass ticks in this forest have seen so much blood. They must have fainted from hunger long ago. There is so much blood." Can attractive prey not gather in large numbers, but this number... is really terrifying, let’s think about how to escape first." Wu Xie said as he lowered the torch and removed the grass ticks on the surrounding shrubs. Burn it once to prevent being surrounded by them.

But after a while, Wu Xie was bitten several times on his feet. He had no time to deal with it. He could only stamp his feet, slap them, use a torch to drive them away and said to the fat man: "Fat man, is there anything you can do?"

The fat man said to him: "Wait for me, please bear with me." In his hand, he was playing with Qiu Qiu's exploded gun, making a makeshift torch.

They lit a fire and used it to drive away the swarm of insects. They hurried to Pan Zi and lifted him up. As soon as he lifted him up, the fat man was startled and said "Oh!" and said to Wu Xie: "You have lifted him up. "

Wu Xie took a look and saw that Pan Zi's back was covered with blood tumors. He must have been bitten when he was dragged by the snake along the way. He didn't notice it when his back was pressed down on the grass just now. .

Fatty immediately used a torch to burn the bugs, and a large piece fell off. Then they dragged Pan Zi's backpack and left here in a hurry.

After walking out for a short distance, Wu Xie and Fatty both turned back to look at the giant python's body.

The fat man said: "These little gadgets are so cruel. Just when we walked a few steps, look, we saw that the worms were crawling all over us."

Wu Xie said happily: "Fortunately, Pan Zi's bleeding has stopped, otherwise he would have provoked more. This thing will soon be the same as the snake skeleton seen in the canyon, and only one will be sucked." There’s only one layer of skin left.”

The fat man's expression became more contorted as he looked at it and said: "Oh...it's so densely packed that it makes me feel sick just looking at it. Why do you still feel sorry for that big worm? Look at you and you sigh. It's just this thing, it's one of the four evils." I didn't comment on this thing at the time, so I really wronged it. Come on, don't pity it, we all have blood on our bodies and heads, leave quickly, we will chase after you after a while, no one will pity us."

They carried Pan Zi all the way to a swamp and washed all the blood on themselves and Pan Zi's backpack with water to prevent them from attracting those nasty and scary bugs.

As I washed, the sky started to get brighter, and dawn finally came.Wu Xie looked at the white light coming from the sky and felt like crying but had no tears. His mood was very complicated.

The fat man said: "Have you decided? Which way should we go? We can't understand what's marked on the north needle. If we can't find your third uncle's camp today, we will have to follow the people in the woods. Worms and snakes keep company.”

Wu Xie immediately said: "If possible, I don't want to have a third night here. It's so scary at night here. The only thing that can cheer up in this ghost place is the fresh air." ." Then he took out the compass and said to the fat man: "I'll go up and have a look." Then he climbed up the tree, wanting to learn the way Pan Zi did and find out the direction.

The fat man looked at him and said, "Slow down."

After a while, Wu Xie came down from the tree and said to the fat man: "Five or sixty meters in front of us, there is a huge temple-like black ruins. It is a huge and complete multi-story building. It is not small in scale. Judging from the outline, the preservation is much better than the ruins in the rain forest, and there are large dry boulders over there.”

When the fat man heard this, he became interested and said, "Then let's go over and have a look."

Wu Xie thought so too, and then Wu Xie led the way there. In less than 2 minutes, they walked out of the forest. The trees gradually became sparse, and they entered the scope of the ruins.

This night, I slept very well at first, but since I heard the intermittent gunshots, I began to be very scared. The gunshots would suddenly ring out. I was excited and excited when I heard it. But with my little brother here, I finally got it. I took advantage of the little time before dawn to take another nap.

After confirming the position, the little brother kept his eyes closed and rested.

It was already dawn at this moment, and he looked at me who was curled up tightly in his arms because of fear, and finally fell asleep again. I was sleeping soundly at the moment. Although he couldn't bear to wake me up, he had to hurry up and set off. On his way.

"Girl...Girl..." The little brother called me softly, and patted me gently while calling me. After calling me several times, he frowned when he saw me, turned around, and buried his little face deeply into him. In his arms, his little hands were still holding his clothes tightly.

The little brother thought to himself, this little guy who is lying in bed seems to have to be forced to be effective.

He slowly picked me up and stood me up. My head was still pressed tightly against his chest, trying not to open my eyes.

He patted my head protectively, and I hugged him tightly. I slowly opened my eyes and pouted, but I was still dazed. He touched my face and said softly: "Take it easy, it's time to set off." "

I blinked my eyes, sat for a while, took a few deep breaths, and gradually woke up. Looking at the little brother who was already standing below, I stretched out my arms, opened my two small hands, and grabbed each other. He said: "Brother, give me a hug."

The little brother turned around and stretched out his arms, took my hand, and pulled me towards him. Then I put my arms around his neck, and he hugged me down.

He looked at our small wooden bed and said to me: "Don't you want to stay? Let's get it done quickly."

I smiled at him and nodded.I looked at the small wooden bed and thought, this should be moved together with the tree, with the roots attached.

I rubbed my two little hands, clenched my little fists a few times, moved my fingers, and stretched out my arms, looking like I was ready for a big fight.

Suddenly, I opened my hands towards the small tree and made a gesture of pulling it up from the soil. The small tree was suddenly surrounded by my pale golden light, lifted up slightly, and gradually broke out of the ground and lifted up. After a while, I made a movement of gathering my hands inward, and then I saw that the entire small tree bed began to gradually shrink, shrinking little by little into a small model that can fit in the palm of my hand. The faint light turned into a translucent eggshell-like protective shell surrounding it, floating in the air.

I shrank it even smaller, until it was as big as a small egg. I put it in the palm of my hand and stuffed it into my Qilin pocket.

I grabbed some food and drink for us for breakfast.

Being slightly mysophobic, I washed up, ate something with my little brother, and then walked to the edge of the swamp. My little brother said that I still had to apply mud before setting off... This time I obediently let him make me a little clay figurine. After both of them were done, the younger brother took me and continued to move forward along the current.

Wu Xie and Fatty soon arrived at the ruins. Wu Xie was surprised and said: "This ruins is too big. Don't tell me, at first glance, it really looks like Angkor Wat."

There were stone corridors and unknown square towers everywhere in the ruins. Finally, when they came to a high place, they saw the huge temple behind the canopy of trees. The fat man said "Wow!" in surprise, and everyone was stunned. .

Wu Xie was even more surprised and excited and said to him: "If this place is developed, it will be the ninth wonder of the world. Do you believe it?"

The fat man said, "I believe it."

Suddenly, he saw something and hurriedly pointed Wu Xie in a direction and said: "Damn it, this is not the nine wonders of the world, it is also one of our wonders. Look over there."

Wu Xie looked in the direction of his finger and saw a dozen large canvas tents on the flat ground in front of the temple. Wu Xie blurted out: "Wild camp? Is it the camp of Uncle San and his friends?"

The tent was very big and old. It was divided into large and small ones. The color was the gray of stone, so I didn’t notice it from a distance. At this time, the fat man had already shouted: "Innocent, this is really your third uncle's tent. Fatty, I recognize it." !”

Wu Xie was so happy that he almost shouted.

The fat man said: "This is really a desperate situation with no way out, and a village with bright flowers and dark willows. It seems that God has had enough fun with us and wants us to take a rest."

The two of them immediately rushed towards the camp, thinking only of rest and sleep at the moment, running all the way through the open square made of huge rocks in front of the ruins.

There are many huge pools in the square, and they are filled with running water, which is very clear. They can see that there is a corridor under the pool, and it is dark in the depths of the corridor. They don’t know where it leads. It is obvious that these parts are now submerged. What they saw The huge temple might just be the roof or the top floor of the temple at that time. Wu Xie thought that it was impossible to estimate how grand this building must be.

Before he even got close to the camp, the fat man started shouting: "Is there anyone there?"

Wu Xie also shouted a few times: "Third uncle? Black glasses?"

However, they called for a long time but no one responded. As they ran forward, they found that something was wrong with the camp. When they reached the edge of the camp, they stopped. The fat man gasped and said: "Something is wrong. No one around……"

Wu Xie said: "This whole camp is too quiet, which is a bit hairy. There is no one walking around, no silhouette, no sound of conversation or activity. It is simply dead silence, as if it is deserted."

The fat man gasped, calmed down, and listened carefully. There was no sound at all in the camp in the morning light. It was as quiet as the rain forest before, and there was no life at all.

The fat man murmured: "It doesn't look good. We may have come at the wrong time." The fat man slowly put Pan Zi on a stone aside and let him lean on it. He said to him: "Let's go in and investigate." ." After picking up a stone to hit the head, the two people walked into the camp cautiously and wary of the tents.

The road under our feet got lower and lower, and the water flow became much faster. The little brother pulled me along. This time he determined the direction and walked a little faster, but the water was very slippery. I was very nervous for fear of slipping.

Not long after, we all heard the loud sound of water flowing. My brother said that we should first find the location of the water sound. The current direction must be correct.

Wu Xie and Fatty checked the camp. After seeing this, Wu Xie said: "It seems that the third uncle is really well prepared this time." He saw a generator, a stove, and a huge awning. .

Under the awning is a large flat stone with many documents pressed on it. There are also a few teeth-brushing cups placed on the relic stones on one side. The pull rod between the two tents on the other side is occupied by someone. It was tied up with vines and clothes were hung on it.This is like a simple residential area.

The fat man said: "It's strange. There are no signs of a fight, not even a drop of blood. It's too normal, but where have all the people gone?"

In the middle of the camp, they had a huge bonfire that had been completely burned to ashes. Wu Xie pulled the ashes from the bonfire and said, "Here are the remaining smoke balls. The signal smoke comes from here." Rising.”

The fat man opened the door of a tent and said, "Oh! This is so sour. It's not breathable here, and it smells like Bigfoot. It's really smelly."

The two of them turned around quietly, but found nothing. They stood there looking at each other.

Wu Xie said: "The tent doors here are all open. Does that mean that everyone has gone out? Pan Zi said that the red signal smoke means "don't come close". Obviously, you can be sure that something happened here. People Where have you been? What happened here?"

After that, they were on the boulder under the awning. Fatty found a pack of cigarettes. He felt itchy and immediately lit it and handed one to Wu Xie.

The fat man was already so tired that he couldn't bear it any longer, and he couldn't stand it after taking two puffs.

Wu Xie also took a few puffs and slowly felt relieved.

Then, they immediately carried Pan Zi to one of the large tents that could sleep four people. There were two backpacks in it. There were a lot of sundries on the tarpaulin in the tent, including flashlights and watches. None of them were taken away. Wu Xie also saw an MP3 player, but there was no light.

After entering the tent, they finally relaxed. They took off all the clothes on Pan Zi and got rid of the remaining grass ticks. The fat man flipped through the backpack in the tent, found a small medical box inside, and used the alcohol inside to re-enter the tent. After disinfecting Pan Zi's wound, he rummaged through the tents in the camp one by one and found a box of needles and thread, ready to sew up Pan Zi's deep wound.
