Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 261 Escape From Here
261 Chapter 261 Escape from here
Soon, the little brother and I were lifted out of the water by the fat man. I quickly looked at the little brother's condition, and he started coughing as soon as he came out of the water.

Wu Xie gasped and asked quickly: "Are you okay?"

I shook my head and said, "We're fine," while reorienting myself.

The fat man said to Wu Xie: "I think your fart is so powerful that it breaks the bottom of the water. Remember to say hello before you fart in the future to avoid accidentally hurting others."

Wu Xie gasped and cursed: "You are still running against me now, I will fight with you later."

The fat man said: "Look at you, you don't accept teachings humbly at all!" Then he took a miner's lamp to shine under the water.

I watched them bickering with a smile. It was really interesting. I found it quite funny every time.
Under the illumination of the light, we saw that the collapse area below was gradually expanding. After a while, a hole about the size of half a basketball court collapsed, and then the collapse gradually stopped.

The fat man said: "Damn, it seems like everything down here is empty?"

I saw that it was dark there, with some bubbles rising from below from time to time, and there was a stench all around. I asked, "Brother Wu Xie, this must be a swamp, right?"

Wu Xie said: "Well, I always felt that this smell was very familiar before. I didn't think about it for a moment, but now it became clear that it was the smell of methane. It seems that this hole has always existed. Maybe there were wooden beams or something like that before. Added to it, after decay, it still maintains a fragile balance. When there is no external force, this balance can last for thousands of years, but once there is any damage, the wooden beams collapse. The collapsed pit may be the breakage of the wooden beams. As a result, the fat man dug tiles on the edge again, which caused a chain reaction."

I said, "It's such a big area that collapsed. I still don't think it's that simple. Let's not waste time and let's go quickly." I helped my little brother and stretched out my hand to point them in the direction and said, "Hey, go over there." "

The fat man said: "Don't be anxious."

I said, "Fat man, don't waste your time. If you delay any longer, we will starve to death on the way."

The fat man said: "It doesn't take long to wait and see."

Wu Xie looked at it and said: "It shouldn't be deep down here, Xiaoxun. This may be a mezzanine built before to store ghost head jars. This is indeed the place where you said a large number of bugs are stored. Do you think this is really the place where bugs are stored?" There are those on the murals..."

I said to him: "Actually, I'm just worried that if there is something here, you see it has collapsed now, and there is so much movement. If there is something, it must have been alarmed. If it is not intact, it may be caused by something. In short, we are now No matter what situation you encounter, it will be difficult to deal with.”

Wu Xie said: "Yes, Menyou Ping's situation is not good now. He used to protect us. This time we have to protect him. We must preserve our strength and leave as soon as possible." I nodded to him.

As he spoke, he looked at the fat man. Wu Xie was frightened by the sight and said hurriedly: "Fat man, be careful. The place below may be completely empty. Now a piece of it has collapsed. Don't wait for a chain reaction to form a vortex. We are all screwed, can you please save people some peace of mind."

The fat man said, "As long as you don't fart, you'll be fine." Then he suddenly said "Hey" and said, "What is this?"

Wu Xie said: "So what?"

Looking in the direction he was looking, he saw something floating up from the deep pit along with the sewage. For a while, the visibility near the cave entrance became worse and worse.

The fat man hurriedly reminded: "Hurry, hurry, stay away, stay away."

Wu Xie and I quickly pulled the little brother back some distance. The fat man focused the miner's lamp on that thing. We soon saw some rotten wood and branches floating up from the entrance of the cave, with many indistinguishable things sandwiched in between. Trash like cotton wool.

The smelly air combined with this unspeakable unknown substance made me suddenly feel a little nauseous... But the fat man reached out and picked up a few branches wrapped with garbage, and got the smelly mud in his hands. His face was filled with disgust. He seemed to put those things away again, and said with a bit of nausea: "Damn it, I dug out the old muddy bottom of this muddy puddle, but it stinks to death." Suddenly his expression changed and he said: "Holy crap! This shouldn't be the cesspit from before, right?"

Wu Xie said helplessly: "Your family only uses such a big cesspit. If you defecate here, your foot will slip and you may die directly. If you can poop out? If this is a cesspool, defecating in this pit will be more stressful than bungee jumping. I think it's an elephant." I don’t even dare to use it, the ancestors of the Western Queen’s Mother Country wouldn’t torture themselves like this, right?”

The fat man said seriously: "Perhaps this is because the queen wants to cultivate the concept of being prepared for danger in times of peace, so that they can be very alert when pooping."

I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Wu Xie's expression looked like he was about to be pissed off by the fat man.

I covered my nose and said, "You two, stop bickering. The most important thing now is to leave quickly. It's too dangerous here."

Now the fat man also felt that there must be no good treasures here, and finally he was willing to leave here. We covered our noses and were about to leave, but we heard him say "Hey" and saw him pick up something from the water again. He raised it and said, "Damn it, look what is this?"

We all looked over, and Wu Xieyi frowned and said, "What the hell is this? The head of a trumpet?"

I said, "No, it doesn't even have any facial features. It can't be a human head, and the shape doesn't look like a skull."

Following the fat man, he threw it over, and Wu Xie caught it in the air. After taking a look, he grinned and said disgustedly: "It's all black mud, as if he has a beard. Look, it's all beard."

I said, "Why don't you wash it and see what it is."

Wu Xie turned around and looked at it. The thing was not too big. He washed it with water and quickly washed away the black mud on the outside, revealing the green and rusty surface inside.

Wu Xie shook the water and said strangely: "Damn it, it's a military kettle." The fat man asked: "Kettle?"

Wu Xie nodded: "It's an old style from decades ago. I can tell it by looking at its appearance. I still have one at home." He turned the kettle over and said, "There are still words here, but the steel seal is The string of words was not very deep to begin with, and it is even more difficult to see clearly now, but why is there such a thing here?"

I looked at it and said, "I think it must be related to the person found in the python skeleton."

The fat man said: "You mean it belongs to the reactionaries who fled here as you mentioned before?"

I nodded, and Wu Xie said, "It's possible, but the question isn't that, it's why is this thing down here?"

The fat man said: "Maybe a reactionary element came here and happened to fall to death in the cave."

Wu Xie shook his head and said: "Impossible, this kind of balanced structure can only exist once. If it collapsed before, it would either be a hole, or it would be filled up by subsequent mud, and there would be no more pits that were later covered by pottery shards. "

The fat man said, "How do you know?"

Wu Xie said: "Boss, this is common sense."

The fat man said: "It's possible that it floated down here from other places. The bottom of this place is completely empty."

Wu Xie added: "Theoretically it is possible, but in practice it is very difficult. The kettle will float and get stuck on the hollow dome. It is not easy to float."

I said, "I think this was brought in by something. The person who brought it here was not a human being."

Wu Xie asked: "What?"

I said: "You have forgotten that there are snakes along the way here. This is where they hatch their little snakes, store food and gather. I am afraid that these things were brought in after the snakes swallowed a person. Snakes The substances that cannot be digested will be spit out from the mouth again."

Wu Xie nodded and said: "That may be the case, but..."

Before he finished speaking, at this moment, our feet suddenly trembled. I already realized that this was danger, so I quickly tightened my grip on my brother.

Wu Xie immediately opened his hands to maintain balance and said: "Be careful, be careful, it's going to collapse again."

But the fat man scolded his mother and said, "Your common sense is wrong, but the girl is right."

We looked down and saw a huge thing rising quickly from the black pit, reflecting a series of flashing lights of scales, and then a yellow eye the size of a basketball appeared.

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment and asked: "What is this?"

I said, "Don't ask, just run over there, quickly." I pointed the direction to them, followed me and picked up my brother and started running in the direction of the road sign.

The fat man pushed Wu Xie and shouted: "Run, run, run! Run! Run! Run!"

But Wu Xie didn't react yet. For a moment, he thought we were all crazy, but he could feel the fat man pulling him out with all his strength. It looked like he was running for his life.

I carefully pulled my brother forward, but the resistance in the water was too great, and there were sharp broken pottery shards under the water. In fact, I ran very slowly, and injuries were inevitable. Stepping on these shards was like running through a knife. Mountain-like.

Wu Xie only rushed out a few steps and stepped on the edge of the fragment. He immediately fell into the water and started flopping.

Then the fat man also fell down. His backpack was broken and he didn't even look at it. He got up and yelled: "Don't stop!" He continued to use all his strength and stumbled forward.

Suddenly, we heard the sound of surging water coming from behind us. When we looked back, we saw that it was an extremely huge python rising out of the water, like a blue dragon emerging from the water.

When I saw the size of the snake, my heart skipped a beat. The snake in front of me was exactly the mother snake depicted on the mural. It was really unimaginably huge.

Behind me there was the sound of water like a stormy sea. I pulled my little brother and quickly accelerated my pace. I took a few steps and a few strokes. It was extremely painful, but at this time I could only grit my teeth and keep running forward, otherwise it would be a snack.

Wu Xie almost fell while running. He was covered in injuries from running, his feet were sprained, and his whole body was covered in wounds.

Not knowing how far he ran, Wu Xie stepped on a sudden low-lying area. Finally, his feet suddenly fell into the air and he rolled over. There was such a deep pit below, and his whole body was immediately rushed into the water.
