Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 239 Awake
239 Chapter 239 Wake up

After setting off, Wu Xie and the others had just traveled less than [-] steps when they discovered a fork in the shaft.

The third uncle looked over with a miner's lamp and found that one road was going up and the other was going down.They immediately started searching nearby, and soon saw the boy's mark on the shaft below.

The third uncle's unabashed expression revealed his excitement. However, at this moment, the third uncle's excitement seemed fake to Wu Xie...

But Wu Xie had to pretend to be very nervous and cooperate with his third uncle in the performance. He said to himself that the road to becoming an actor is not easy, and he still has to learn from Men You Ping in this job.

Immediately after, the third uncle waved everyone to move on without hesitation.

After I finished eating, I sat in front of the fire to roast myself. Although the campfire was small, it was still much warmer.

The mud on my clothes had dried to the point of falling off, and neither of them spoke. I could only pick at the mud in boredom, not knowing what I was doing.

On the other side, Wu Xie and the others were walking in a shaft made of simple stone bricks. The surroundings were bare and they could see their mine lights shaking the walls of the shaft, but there was nothing else. It was quite boring.

After a while, I yawned uncontrollably. All the blood in my body went to the gastrointestinal tract for digestion, and my brain suddenly lacked oxygen.

The little brother finally stopped looking at the flames and turned to look at me. I was covering my mouth and yawning, and my nose was full of tears. In the next few minutes, the yawns came one after another, and the intervals became shorter and shorter. I couldn't control it at all. live……

The most terrible thing is that they both looked at me and yawned, which was a bit embarrassing...

The little brother pulled me to his side and said to me: "Take the medicine and then sleep for a while."

I held back a yawn and said to him: "But I just woke up, and I haven't..." Before I could say the word "wanted to sleep," I swallowed it back. He knew that I was going to be disobedient, and his eyes suddenly He became very cold and looked at me with a dark face. I quickly said: "Sleep, just sleep now." I knew in my heart that he just wanted me to rest more and was not really trying to hurt me, but that look in his eyes still scared me. .

Seeing that I had behaved, he gave a cold "yes" and took a dark red pill and pressed it directly to my mouth. I looked at him, a little timidly, and took the pill obediently.

Then I shrank into his arms like a child. Perhaps because of his scare, I felt a little more energetic. Suddenly, I yawned less frequently.

But when I first leaned on him, my eyes were wide open and I blinked at the small fire. He touched my head and touched me, and I felt sleepy. , and soon he fell asleep as soon as his eyelids tightened.

Wen Jin said with a smile: "Look, you are always scaring her, aren't you afraid of being frightened?" She added some twigs to the small fire and continued: "By the way, is she anemic?"

The little brother looking at the fire nodded.

Wen Jin thought for a while and said: "The new injury is still the old injury."

The little brother said: "There are both."

Wen Jin sighed and said: "Fatigue and drowsiness are the most common symptoms of anemia. Then you have to take care of her after you go back. You said, it shouldn't take long for them to find the hole. It should be too soon." Let’s go.”

The little brother said: "Yes, but they will definitely stop when it gets dark, and they won't arrive here until tomorrow."

Wen Jin nodded: "Then let's rest first and replenish our strength, and then proceed as planned. This is relatively safe and should be a place where we can talk. I will go find him when the time is almost up."

While Wu Xie and the others were traveling, they encountered many forks in the road and saw many marks left by the younger brother. They walked all the way down from high places and passed a larger reservoir than the last.

It was quite quiet along the way. It seemed that there were no snakes here at all. He was somewhat lucky. However, Wu Xie still felt that something was not right. He always felt that there was something hidden in this quietness, and he felt very uneasy.

However, they were in peace until the evening, and their tense nerves finally relaxed.

That day they could only rest in a row in the shaft and lighted several fires. The fat man woke up for the first time during dinner.

The third uncle gave the fat man a stabilizing injection. Only then did Wu Xie remember that Xiaoxun was also poisoned. Did she need a stabilizing injection? Did she find the bottle of stuffy oil? If she got separated, wouldn't she? Is it bad...?

The third uncle looked at him and said, "Silly boy, what are you thinking about? Don't be stunned. Go get some food for the fat man."

When feeding the fat man, Wu Xie asked him a few questions about what happened, but he only said a few words and fell asleep soon. Wu Xie sighed and said to himself, this is still physical strength. It wasn't enough, but he wasn't seriously injured or anything, and he was able to wake up, which meant that he was fine, and he felt relieved.

I slept until the next morning. Instead of stuffing me into a crack in the mud wall, my little brother leaned against the stone wall and hugged me tightly and slept all night. He woke up relatively early, and when he saw me waking up, he Hu Lu Hu Lu patted my head and said to me: "Slow down, I will find the way with me later." After hearing this, I nodded.

Looking over at them, the fat man woke up and looked much better, but he still seemed unable to move. He was helped to stand up. He looked around and asked Wu Xie feebly: "What's going on?"

Wu Xie said: "You have to thank me this time. It's rare for me to not abandon or give up. You almost tortured me to death. It took a lot of effort to save you. How can you thank me for your new life?" ?”

The fat man said with a sluggish look on his face: "Damn it, Fatty, I have saved you so many times, but you only saved me once and you still do this. Let me tell you, this time it doesn't even count as a tie." Follow him to The person next to me said, "Brother, do you have any cigarettes?"

The man replied: "I didn't."

The fat man clucked his lips, a little helpless, and asked after him: "Zhenzhen, what is this place?"

Wu Xie gave him a rough explanation, and he listened quietly without saying anything.

Wu Xie asked him: "What happened between you and Menyou Ping in the end? Why are you like this, and where is he?"

The fat man said "Hi" and said, "What I'm talking about is that after chasing each other, they ran away. The speed of the little brother was like flying. I couldn't keep up with him at all. Later, I heard someone talking. I thought at first It was your third uncle's man who was still alive, so I sneaked over, but as a result, I opened a bush of grass and was bitten by a snake. Who the hell would have thought that this snake can speak human language. This thing is evil. , I’m afraid I’ll fall for it too, damn, it’s so evil.”

Wu Xie said: "God bless him to be smarter than the two of us."

The fat man looked around and asked, "Where's the little girl? Isn't she following you?"

Wu Xie said: "I didn't say just now that she couldn't run away and fell behind. She asked me to chase you first. But I fell down myself and the girl didn't know where she went. You said, he Can you find the oil bottle?"

The fat man frowned and said, "Can't she catch up last time? It shouldn't be a problem this time. Anyway, if she can catch up with him, she should be fine now."

At this time, the third uncle also woke up. He was quite happy to see the fat man and said, "I'm awake. How do you feel?" He handed him a cigarette.

The fat man was very depressed when he saw the third uncle. He sighed and said, "Third uncle, you see, you are a lama. You have to give me more money when you go back, otherwise I won't do it."

After speaking, several other people also echoed him: "Yes, Third Master, we need to pay more."

They were chatting and joking, and it seemed that the atmosphere was good for a while, but Wu Xie noticed the bitterness of his third uncle's smile.

We agreed with Wen Jin that after we found the direction, we would come back and wait for her in the gap. She seemed to have other things to do, but they had already discussed it and didn't tell me.

After saying that, the little brother took me deeper into the mud path.

Wu Xie gave the fat man some water and said, "Drink more so that you can expel the remaining stuff from your stomach."

The fat man muttered while drinking water: "Longworms can actually lay eggs in people's stomachs. Think about all those things in my stomach. Hey, it's so disgusting. Oh, no, no, no, help me. I'm feeling better. I have to Boo pee."

Wu Xie was waiting to ask him: "Are you okay? Go back and drink some water."

The fat man said: "It's done, come here and help me."

Wu Xie turned around to help him, glanced at the urine excreted by the fat man and said "Hey", "Okay, it's all black. It's really poisonous. Let's go ahead and drink it."

Next, Wu Xie kept letting the fat man drink water. Gradually, his urine began to clear and he became more and more energetic. Before setting off, his face became more and more rosy.

Wu Xie said to him with a smile: "Sure, fat man, you have a good physique and you recover quite quickly."

The fat man smiled and said, "That's right. Fatty has such a strong physique. What's this? How can he defeat me?" He stood up and walked around slowly, stretching his muscles.

When they set off, Wu Xie supported him, just like the day before. They went deeper, one by one, from one reservoir to another. The structure became simpler as they went down, but the volume of the shaft and reservoir became larger. Heretic: "This water storage system should be in the shape of a net bag."

Finally, they stopped in the sixth reservoir. Wu Xie was still surprised when he looked at this reservoir.

This reservoir is as big as half a football field. In the center of the reservoir, a stone pillar held by three people was erected to prevent collapse.The entire reservoir is dry.

The fat man no longer needed his own support, but his physical strength was still not fully restored. He was panting and sweating all over when he sat down.

I saw them stop, but it was not because they were tired and wanted to rest, because marching in the shaft was like walking on a sunny beach compared to marching in the rain forest.

The reason they stopped was because they found that it was covered with dry tree roots, almost covering the entire reservoir. The entrances to the diversion shafts were all covered by tree roots, and were covered with strange-shaped trees. Fungi, they can't find a way to move on.

Wu Xie said doubtfully: "Is there a tree with such long roots in the world? This is deep below the ground. How did these roots grow here?"

The "mop" looked at it and said: "These are not tree roots, they are mycelium. This reservoir seems to be a good place to grow mushrooms." Then he said to his subordinates: "Chop off these mycelium and look for marks."

Wu Xie took a closer look and found that although these hyphae looked like tree roots, they were very soft and covered with black hairs, clinging to the well wall. He thought to himself, this thing looks terrible to eat. , and also grow mushrooms...

As they searched, someone screamed and fell to the ground. They immediately took aim at him with their guns, and immediately saw that after he chopped off a piece of mycelium, a picture appeared on the well wall behind the mycelium. Stone carved human face.

Wu Xie knew what it was as soon as he saw it, and immediately laughed vengefully in retaliation for the time they laughed at him for being scared by the dummy.

They looked at Wu Xie inexplicably, and Wu Xie picked up the gravel on the ground and threw it over. The moths that made up the human face were frightened and flew up.

When the man saw it, he let out a sigh of relief, and everyone laughed.

But Wu Xie became worried again and said to them: "These moths may have flown into the shaft by chance. There may be snake sloughs here to attract them. Please be careful, there may be snakes nearby." Follow him to where the moths gather. Go rummaging through the place with a face.

Seeing this, the little brother pulled me to a stop, looked around, and said to me: "Let's go back." Then he pulled me back.

After a while, Wu Xie saw a large white sack-like thing near the dense tree roots.But what surprised him was that there weren't many snake sloughs in this white field, but they seemed to be a whole.

He picked up the snake slough with a shotgun and found that it was a big snake, as thick as a bucket. You could see that the snake slough had double layers of scales.

The third uncle came over and touched it, and saw the mucus on his hand. His face suddenly turned pale, and he shouted: "Hold up the damn gun for me, this thing is fresh, and this skin has just been shed!" Urging to look for it! The person at the entrance of the shaft said: "Hurry up, we can't stay here for long."
