Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 231
231 Chapter 231 Returning to the team

After waiting for a while, I seemed to hear the sound of water flowing around me. The sound of water flowing suddenly seemed to be mixed with a very rhythmic sound, which was not very clear.

I closed my eyes and quietly enhanced my hearing, trying to hear clearly. Although the sound didn't last long, I could already hear it, like a chicken crow, and my heart suddenly pounded. Look, this sound in this area, isn't it the sound of a cockscomb snake?

Animals make sounds either to warn or to attract friends. What does the call of the Cockscomb Snake mean? Is it to warn them "I found you" or to say "Come here, friends, there is prey". Anyway, the snake must have found it. They were there, my head felt dizzy thinking about it, and I said to myself, little brother, please come back soon.

Wu Xie was careful about the snake and looked at his feet. He felt that the fluttering white shadow was almost at his feet. Judging from his movements, he felt that it should be a person.

I thought, so white, who could this be? It must not be the unconscious fat man, and naturally it cannot be Pan Zi who is still unconscious in the temple. The little brother and Xiaoxun are not wearing white either... Who is this white shadow...

Immediately afterwards, a circle of bubbles appeared around his feet. At the same time, the surrounding tree roots also swayed. In an instant, there were ripples on the water. Wu Xiexin said, it seems that the white shadow must have caught it. Underwater tree roots.

The cockscomb snake was startled by the sudden vibration around it, and immediately became vigilant. It turned its head and looked around, but saw nothing. Then it immediately raised its head, stood upright, and let out a series of high-pitched rooster crows. A cry like that.

At this moment, the rooster's crow sounded again, and Wen Jin also heard it and said: "The rooster crows, something happened over there."

I said: "The cockscomb snakes were alarmed. If they were still in the water, how dangerous it would be."

Wen Jin said: "There are so many wells around here, and a lot of them are dry. There should be places to hide, and they should be able to find a way. We can't act rashly. Let's check the situation first. Maybe he will come back soon." "

I sighed, looked into the distance, and nodded. I naturally understood that taking rash actions would not work, as it might ruin his plan, but I felt nervous as if I was beating a drum.

The cockscomb snake kept chirping "cluck, cluck, cluck". At the same time, Wu Xie saw that its comb was even more red, and the entire snake's body was bulging, as if all the blood in its body was about to burst out. Wu Xie had an extremely ominous premonition.

At this moment, someone suddenly grabbed his ankle, and it was right at the spot where he had sprained it. The pain made him grit his teeth, and then the person scratched his calf.

Wu Xiejue felt that the person was writing. He felt that the first character written by the person was a little unsure of what it was, but he was sure that the second character was "preparation". He probably wrote It means "prepare". Now, he felt at ease, knowing that the person under the water must be panting. He immediately moved his feet to show that he knew, and then calmed down, but he didn't know what to prepare.

The snake didn't know that there was an extra person under the water. It felt no reaction from the surroundings and slowly softened. At this moment, the shadow under the water suddenly floated up. Before Wu Xie could realize what was going on, suddenly The water in front of him exploded, and immediately, a snow-white man jumped out of the water and grabbed the cockscomb snake's head at lightning speed.

When Wu Xie was squeezed by him, he slipped and fell into the water. He pushed out and swam towards the center of the pool.

Seeing that Wu Xie had swam out, the little brother rushed into the shaft where the fat man was staying. He helped the fat man and quickly cut the vines tied to the fat man's body.

Wu Xie swam three or four meters away in one breath before he dared to turn around and look back.

I saw a splash of water on the side where the white man was fighting with the snake. He knew at a glance that the snake was not that easy to deal with. For a moment, Wu Xie thought that he should escape first?Or just watching?Or go over and help?

Just when he was hesitating, a ray of red light suddenly exploded from the water spray, and rolled up the branches and circled the pile of branches, and at the same time made a series of extremely sad sounds.

The white man immediately shouted to him: "Go quickly, it is asking for help, it will be too late!" As he said that, he dived into the water.

Before I finished speaking, the sounds of snakes came from the surrounding shafts one after another. Wen Jin and I, who had been hiding, listened to the gurgles one after another. It felt like there were countless snakes moving around, and the sounds of snakes became denser and denser. It was getting louder and louder, and I was frightened anyway. The number of snakes was unimaginable.

Wu Xie panicked this time and swam after the man's shadow in the water. Then he got up and said to himself, Fatty, that he couldn't leave him behind. So he stuck his head out to see Fatty again, only to find that in the shaft, The fat man has disappeared. I feel strange. Where is the person?
At this time, he could hear a lot of gurgling sounds getting closer and closer in the darkness. Wu Xie turned around and looked around twice but couldn't see where the fat man was. He shouted from the front: "Hurry up!"

Wu Xie thought for a few seconds and could not help but grit his teeth and sigh in his heart. He said he was sorry, covered his head and chased after him.

The little brother had quickly untied the fat man from the branch, and helped him quickly reach the road where he could find the third uncle. He placed him at the entrance of the shaft, where the gas mask was placed in white clothes, and followed the little brother. Brother quickly returned to the water and swam towards us.

Soon, I vaguely saw the little brother in the water. He quickly arrived at the entrance of the shaft and said, "Quickly go in." Wen Jin and I hurriedly hid inside, and the little brother immediately turned over and looked outside. , we all know that we must not talk at this moment, the snakes have already arrived, so we quietly pay attention to what is going on outside.

The white man swam very fast, and soon climbed up another dry shaft in front, and disappeared into the mist. Not far forward, he picked up the gas mask and quickly put it on his head. He lifted the fat man up and walked inside.

When Wu Xie saw the man disappearing into the mist, he felt anxious. He didn't know who the man was, and he didn't know whether he was saving him or playing tricks on him. He thought to himself, you were the one who saved me, why did you run away on your own!

Wu Xie, you rushed forward and followed him to the side. However, he no longer knew the direction at all. Hearing the gurgling sound, his whole body felt hairy. It felt like it was urging him to die. He was thinking about how he was getting closer and closer. He just wanted to climb up immediately, but after climbing for a while, he realized that the shaft was too high and he couldn't reach it...

The snake was getting closer and closer behind me, and there was a road in front of me, but I couldn't get up. This time I was really on the verge of crying. I yelled a few times, and I tried my best to jump up.

However, after a few jumps, he slipped down. At this time, the "clucking" sounds from all around had gathered behind him. He was so anxious that he banged his head against the tree root, and he was almost desperate.

At this moment, someone suddenly held his hand tightly, and then someone pulled him upwards forcefully.

Looking out of the corner of his eye, he saw a man wearing a gas mask who pulled him into the shaft. Behind him were sixteen or seventeen similarly dressed men. They probably had six or seven bright flashlights, illuminating the surrounding area. .

Just when Wu Xie was about to ask, "Who are you?", the man pulled off his gas mask, and a familiar old face was revealed. Wu Xie suddenly screamed: "Uncle Three."

However, before he finished speaking, his third uncle slapped Wu Xie with a loud "pop" sound, and immediately someone handed him a gas mask and pressed it on his face.

They held Wu Xie up, and the third uncle also put on the gas mask again. With a wave of his hand, someone immediately opened a yellow smoke bomb and threw it into the water. The others held up Wu Xie and quickly evacuated deeper into the shaft. Go in.

The three of us hid in the dry shaft, and the younger brother whispered to me: "Give me your coat."

I hurriedly unzipped and took it off. Wen Jin helped me move my injured arm out. The little brother took my little coat and lifted it up. His arm was holding the mud jacket, trying to block the hole as much as possible. Brother whispered again: "There are too many snakes now. Let's hide here for a while and then rush over. Girl, come here."

I moved closer to him, looked at him, and he looked at me, and he said, "Come closer."

I continued to move closer to him, and now I was pressed against his body and asked him softly: "What's wrong?"

Unexpectedly, his head suddenly came to my ear. I was a little surprised and whispered: "I want to..." but he did not continue.

I slightly nodded in the direction of his head, watching him hesitate to speak, I thought, he must want to...

Then I quietly activated my spiritual power, kissed him on the face near his ears, then pursed my lips, looked at him and said shyly: "Is this it..."

The little brother looked at me with soft eyes for a while before replying "Yes".

Wen Jin naturally didn't know what we were doing. He just felt a bit like a light bulb, sitting aside and just looking at us with a smile.

I saw that he was feeling tired with his arms raised like this, so I stretched out my fingers and quietly gestured to him, meaning "do you need me to stick it there?"

He didn't answer, but stretched out his free hand to pull me to him, hugged me, and said softly: "Let's wait until the snake recedes before we go out. You still need more rest."

Following the two of us, we quietly watched Wu Xie's movements, and the three of us temporarily hid in this cave.
