Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 227
227 Chapter 227 Shaft

In the blink of an eye, Wu Xie and Fatty spun twice in the air and fell into the water one after another.

The vines tied to Wu Xie's body restricted his free movement. He was pulled by the vines, so he was almost flat when he was shot into the water. If he fell into the water with the wrong posture at this height, it would be the same as shooting directly for people. On the cement floor.

The moment he was slapped on the water, Wu Xie felt as if he had been slapped hard with a hot water bottle filled with water. His head suddenly became dizzy, and he was immersed in the water. Fortunately, he was conscious and his mind was clear. I thought, if the water hadn't been so cold, I would have lost my breath.

Then he thought, "This is bad!" He flopped around a few times and floated up again. He thought to himself, this quagmire is the place with the thickest black air. The fat man is already half dead, and he fell to the ground again. If he drinks again, A few mouthfuls of this muddy water will really kill you!And I don’t know what the black shadow was just now. If there was really a swamp monster, even he would be killed. And with his own strength, even if the fat man could stand up, he would not be able to move him back to the tree.

Wu Xie looked up and found that there were bubbles on the water and the water flow was much faster. He was a little unable to steady his body and felt strange in his heart. Didn't he tie the vines and hang them on the branches?

He felt his surroundings carefully. The sound of bubbling water did not sound like something coming out of a swamp, but more like...

Suddenly, he discovered that the branch that was as thick as one person had broken off and was being washed downstream by the water. He and the branch were still connected by vines, and the branch was pulled right between them. On the vines, he dragged him downstream.

It was difficult to stabilize his body in the natural water flow, but now there was something so big pulling him in front. In the blink of an eye, he was carried forward by the current for several meters, and his heart suddenly changed. Panic.

The little brother said that he wanted to rush to the front. He dragged me forward based on his own feeling, and Wen Jin followed beside us.

We swam very fast in the tumbling turbid swamp water, but occasionally I felt like something was touching me under my feet. I guess it was the scary things in the mire that they said.

Soon we vaguely saw an animal-faced stone sculpture with a huge mouth in the ruins in front, and the sound of roaring water could be heard from its mouth.

The little brother said: "Be careful."

Wen Jin replied: "Okay."

Then the little brother pulled me into his arms, held my waist tightly with one hand, keeping me close to him, and protected my head with one hand. Then we passed by in a "swish" When he got into the beast's mouth, his vision went dark and he fell down.

I couldn't see anything and didn't know what was going on around me, but my heart was beating fast and I felt like we were doing something very thrilling.

After a while, I felt the brother's arm tighten. We seemed to have flipped around in the air, and then started to fall. A few seconds later, the brother's body twisted, and then I felt that we were bumping up. This was obviously Hit something.

The shock was quite strong, and I couldn't help but feel a little worried and shouted: "Brother..."

He didn't say anything, he just hugged me tighter. After a while, it was empty again. We turned around again, and then there was another collision. Sure enough, here was a winding pipe, still going all the way down. After I didn't know how many times, I was already a little dizzy, and I just heard the little brother suddenly shout: "Hold your breath!"

I quickly held my breath, and then we fell into the water together.

After a while, I felt my brother leading me upstream, and soon we emerged from the water, followed closely by Wen Jin who also showed his head behind.

Wen Jin said: "This is the shaft."

The little brother said: "The water flow is very fast, there may be a reservoir nearby." He then pulled my head and looked at me and said: "Is everything okay?"

I said softly: "I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy. Do you feel any pain?"

The little brother said: "I'm fine."

As we followed, we were directly pushed forward by the current and continued to float forward. After a while, we heard a more violent sound of water in front of us. The little brother said: "Get ready, don't move."

I quickly shrank towards him, and then, the deafening sound of water got closer and closer to us. Then we fell into the air, and fell about a dozen times, and we were thrown into a hollow. , and the water flow here slowed down, I was completely dizzy and closed my eyes hard.

The boy who was protecting my head took a flashlight and shone it here. I slowly opened my eyes and saw that this was really a large underground reservoir. There were huge water columns all around that rushed out of the well mouth on the wall of the pond. When I came down, it looked quite spectacular, with splashes of water, but the sound of the water was so loud that it made my heart skip a beat.

The water here is flowing slowly in one direction. The little brother gave me the flashlight and asked me to shine in front. He led me to swim forward. I asked him: "I didn't see Wu Xie and Fatty along the way. Is it possible?" Are they behind us?"

The little brother looked around, found a slightly higher shaft entrance and said, "Go there first."

Swimming after us, the little brother said: "You two wait for me here, I will find someone to save them.

I asked him: "Looking for someone?"

The little brother said: "If there is no accident, Wu Sansheng and the others must be in front. They need to rest and recuperate all the way to here. They will not go too far. They should be in front. They should have the serum with them. The fat man should be If he is still alive after being poisoned, this is his last hope, and Wu Xie is probably still being stared at by the snake, but the snake has never succeeded, so he cannot stay in the water for a long time."

I said to him: "I understand, then be careful and use the communicator to contact me." He nodded, and then he and Wen Jin lifted me up first, and then Wen Jin climbed up by himself. Just follow the current and walk away.

At this time, Wu Xie was extremely anxious. The darkness around him had made it difficult for him to see the surrounding situation clearly. He could only be sure that there was a wellhead in front of him, which should be the beast's mouth he had seen before, and it was not far from there. He was The current was rushing towards him, and the branches were pulling him all the way downstream. He didn't even have the strength to resist.

The fat man didn’t know where he had fallen, or whether he would have been washed away, and he was still worried about that black shadow in his heart. He was afraid that if something happened to him, it would be nice to have a whole body...

Wanting to free himself first by untying the vine so that he could at least struggle for a while, he immediately took a deep breath and dived into the water to untie the vine.

However, the vine has been pulled extremely tight by the huge pulling force, and it is impossible to untie it directly. I habitually feel for the dagger on my body, and then I realize that I don’t have it with me at all... I think it’s over now...

Suddenly I remembered that Fatty always had weapons with him, and he must have brought them with him. He wanted to find Fatty first, so he hurriedly plopped forward along the river. Fatty also had vines on his body. Logically speaking, the target was obvious, but the water was full of mud. When he didn't see it, he reached out and touched in the water. However, all he touched were dead people lying around.

He searched hard, and finally he touched another taut vine. Thinking, this might be it, he grabbed the vine and leaned over.

Suddenly, he saw a black shadow floating on the water two or three meters in front of him. It was very hazy and it was difficult to see what it was.

But he always felt that the way the thing floated was so similar to the strange underwater figure he had just seen. He suddenly felt an ominous premonition and felt very nervous. The end of the vine was the shadow, and he felt Could it be that the fat man has been eaten by him?

Wu Xie knew that the water depth here was only more than two meters, and the black shadow could protrude a lot from the water, so it was obviously not a fish.

He pulled the vine, hesitating what to do. Suddenly, the shadow shook, changed its shape, and disappeared under the water. Then the vine in Wu Xie's hand loosened. Wu Xie's heart skipped a beat, knowing that something was wrong. That thing discovered him, and just as he was about to turn around, a huge splash of mud exploded from the swamp. He couldn't believe his eyes, because he saw a pair of big turtles clamping down on his neck like lightning. passed.

Wu Xie cursed loudly: "I'll fuck your grandpa!"

Wu Xie was too close to it and had no way to avoid it. He saw that the pair of giant claws were about to pinch his neck. At this moment, the strength on his waist suddenly tightened, and his whole body was suddenly pulled by the vines. He was thrown away and just escaped.

Just when he was about to say "God bless" and escape, the power on his waist became extremely overbearing. When he looked back, he saw that he had been pulled near the ruins and near the huge mouth of the animal-faced stone sculpture. , the vines tied to him had fallen into the beast's mouth, and he heard the roaring sound of water in the mouth.

Wu Xiexin said, "God, are you kidding me?" and immediately wanted to grab the rock on one side with his hands. He yelled with all his strength to stop his body. At that moment, he felt that his waist was about to be broken. At this moment , he felt water splashing behind him, it was the thing coming again, he panicked, his hand immediately came away, and he fell through the beast's mouth.

In an instant, the surrounding sounds disappeared. The miner's lamp around his waist rotated with his spinning body, cutting through the darkness around him. He quickly grabbed the miner's lamp and tied it around his waist.

Following him, he turned around in the air and saw the walls of the well that were filled with ravines and splashing muddy water all around.

The fall didn't last for a few seconds when his back hit something. His whole body was shaken and he almost vomited blood. Before he could recover, his back was empty again, and he rolled over again, and then his shoulders were hit again. A bump.

He realized that the bottom of the well was not vertical. There should be a slope with round protrusions washed out by the water. He rolled and fell all the way down.

After doing this for three or four times, he completely fainted, until he fell into the water with a "plop".

Along the way, he drank more than a dozen sips of muddy water and struggled desperately to get out of the water. He found himself in a narrow shaft, wrapped in an extremely rapid current, and rushed somewhere very fast. .

It was still pitch black ahead. It was narrow here and the water flow had a violent roar. He reached out and touched it and knew it was the wall of the shaft. He understood that in such a fast current, as long as you move a little, your movements will be completely confused, and even He would be turned upside down by the turbulence that hit him from the well wall, so he didn't dare to act rashly and tried his best to maintain his current posture.

Not long after, he heard a more violent sound of water coming from the front. He thought it was simply the roar of a water dragon. It was deafening and frightening. At the same time, he was frightened and said in his heart, "Fuck, this must be another downhill slope." In the blink of an eye, everything was gone under him, and then he fell over a dozen times and fell into a hollow.

He found that the water flow here had slowed down and he was able to control his body. He felt slightly relieved. He immediately took out his miner's lamp and looked around to shine.

Wen Jin and I heard movement twice. Once, we didn't see any movement from the "pop" thing. But this time, it must be a person. He was shining a light here. The moving person was probably Wu Xie.

Wu Xie soon discovered that this was an underground reservoir. He looked at the surrounding water columns, which were all rushing down from the shaft opening on the wall of the pool. It felt like he was seeing the discharge port of a dam, but he looked at the water spray all around. Splashing, listening to the deafening sound, he suddenly felt like a cockroach that had just been flushed down the toilet, and was now being flushed from the cess to the septic tank.

I asked Wen Jin: "Do you need to save him?"

Wen Jin looked at it and said, "Let's wait. He has already gone to find someone. If we interfere again, it will disrupt the plan. Let's not let him find out."

I nodded and whispered: "Well, since the one who can move is Wu Xie, then the one who couldn't move just now should be the fat man."

Wen Jin said: "It should be. I just heard you say that you two have communicators. Then you tell him that they are already here."

"Yeah, okay." Then I took out the communicator and told the little brother the news. The little brother's answer was extremely simple and he just said "Okay."
I sighed softly and muttered: "It's so simple." Wen Jin smiled softly and looked at me with a smile, and I continued to stare at the light spot that should be Wu Xie.
