Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 457 Siguniang Mountain (Seventeen)
457 Chapter 457 Siguniang Mountain (Seventeen)

I followed my brother and carefully climbed to the top of the chain bridge and moved towards the opposite side.

The thick and thin chains of this bridge are tangled together and are almost as wide as a person. The feeling of hugging the bridge is like holding a rough dead tree trunk.

My hands and feet were picking at and pushing on the gap between the chain and moving slowly. The chain was rusty and pimpled, and it was a little prickly to the touch, but it didn't slip because of it, so it was pretty good.

The slope of the chain bridge that slopes upward at the beginning is quite gentle. Although it is still a bit difficult for me to climb up, the process is not too difficult. The movements are a bit like a monkey climbing a tree, using both hands and feet, but I am not flexible at all, and my movements are very clumsy, which is probably not very beautiful. Unlike my brothers and sisters, my movements are clean and very handsome.

The big trouble that gives me a headache when crossing the bridge is that in the distance between the two areas, the bridge is completely suspended, and there is a bottomless abyss under the bridge. I still feel that I am going from the abyss to the other side. There was a blue mist here, permeating just below. It was an eerie and weird feeling. It made my breath stuck at the base of my throat and my head felt swollen.

This chain bridge feels very stable and has good load-bearing capacity. It does not shake and bump up and down as we climb, so there is no feeling of being suspended in the air. I think this is the most gratifying thing for me. , and then as long as I try not to look at the abyss below and climb steadily to the other side, it will be fine.

Just when we were halfway to the bridge, suddenly, I seemed to see the stones flying in the air around me shaking very slightly, intermittently, sometimes on the left, and sometimes with the line of sight. Parallel directions, and then diagonally downwards, as if they would fall down at any time. At the same time, something seemed to be stirring in the abyss below me.

I listened carefully and said softly: "Brother, there seems to be some snapping noise down there, as if something with wings is coming towards us."

Zhang Qiling naturally noticed something strange around him, but he just said lightly: "Be careful and leave quickly."

I said "Oh" and crawled forward for several meters. The sound seemed to be closer to us, and the sound was a little messier than before. If it was some kind of creature, then I'm sure there was more than one. , if we were attacked by social creatures in a place like this, the consequences would probably be worse than those insects like moths and spiders.

I vaguely heard someone behind me also aware of this, and they were whispering, "What could that be?" "What should I do?" and so on. It seemed that Zhang Rishan's voice said to them: "Be careful, first of all. Go over there, don’t think blindly, keep up with the front.”

I said to myself that the Zhang family is really all the same when it comes to things, they don't panic, they don't panic when things change.

Brother Bai Hao didn't dare to say loudly behind me: "This sound really sounds like the flapping of wings, and I feel that the thing is not too small, at least as big as a pigeon."

I felt a rush of cold air, and my body trembled involuntarily and I asked, "Why?"

Zhang Qiling said: "Frequency."

I said, "Frequency, how often the wings beat?"

Bai Hao narrowed his eyes, raised the corner of his mouth and said to me: "Listen carefully to the frequency and intensity of the wings beating."

I was obedient and listened more carefully, and the more I felt that what they said was indeed right. Although it was not obvious, I could really hear it.

I feel that the sound of the flapping wings of those things that can fly does not sound like small flying birds like sparrows. The frequency of their wings shaking is a little slower than that of small birds. It's like there are two people, a tall person and a short person, and let them dance the same dance at the same time. The short person's movements can just catch on the rhythm point, and the movements are in place cleanly at once, while the tall person, because of his With long arms and long legs, the movements you make will be more open and closed, and the rhythm may be a little slower, and I can't hear the slight "pop, pop, pop" of feathers flapping. The sound sounded more like a stretched sail, being blown by the wind, with a strong "pop, pop, pop" sound.

I continued to lower my voice and said, "This is a cave. What do you mean, this time it's a bat that's probably bigger than a pigeon? The creatures here have a lot of variation. If it's a bat, it shouldn't be a vegetarian."

Bai Hao thought for a moment and said, "Are these for household use? You see, the little spiders that weave webs have extraordinary combat capabilities. This is considered the core area, and we don't have to arrange anything more vicious. But they are getting closer to us. Let's There’s definitely no way to hide.”

At this time, Zhang Qiling said: "Hold on."

Immediately afterwards, we heard the chaotic "pah-pah-pah" sound of flapping wings and the rat-like "squeaking" sound, rushing up from below us. It was so dark and dense that it flew in the blink of an eye. Arrived to us.

Bai Hao shouted to everyone: "Everyone is stabilized, try not to anger them."

I remember seeing a group of bats in the cave of Wanling Stone Mountain in Qilin City last time, but compared with these, those were simply too small, and although there were many of them, all of them were good babies waiting quietly. But these, although not as huge in number as the ones there, with hundreds or so of them, are still big in size and seem to be very ferocious.

Soon some bats bumped into us, and we watched them motionless.

The bat here has a ferocious face, with a pair of pig ears with a washboard pattern, standing upright on its round little head. The nostrils of its nose are turned upwards, and there is a point protruding from the top. This guy has an open mouth. He opened his small mouth, revealing his white fangs, and kept barking "Zhi Zhi Zhi Zhi".

At this time, I felt like my legs were caught by something. I guess it was a bat that had landed on me. I just saw their powerful wings and sharp claws, which were as long as small awls. The nails are curved.Brother Bai Hao immediately said to me: "Don't move yet, don't move."

Naturally, I didn’t dare to move. I followed one, two, or three. In a short time, I don’t know how many of them stopped on my body. Some were standing, some were hanging upside down, and I even had I feel like they give me a slightly heavy weight.

I didn't dare to speak, for fear of startling them, so I moved my fingers to freeze everything around me, and then I dared to say: "What should I do now? This is coming towards me..."

Bai Hao said "uh" and said, "I guess these little guys are also vegetarians. They may think you are a delicious plant, so they come here for your fragrance."

I muttered in a low voice: "Don't bats rely on ultrasound to find food? How can they smell the fragrance of my flowers and plants? Besides, do vegetarians have fangs?"

Bai Hao said: "Most fruit-eating bats search for fruits through their sensitive sense of smell. Sweet and cute fruits like yours are a rare sight for them in thousands of years. Sweet and delicious fruits are just like those monsters." When you see Tang Monk, you want to eat his meat, so naturally they will look for you. However, this mutated little guy may have evolved into an omnivore. After all, there are no fruits here, and he may only eat insects and insects all year round. Rats have evolved, so they have fangs and the ability to use echolocation to identify directions and locate prey. Is this normal?

Let me tell you, those who like you are probably vegetarians, and those who go to them have probably evolved into carnivorous bats. I just saw that those little fangs are much longer than the ones you have. "

I bit my lip and frowned and said, "Bats are afraid of light. How about taking them away? Otherwise, I will be surrounded here and I won't be able to move forward. Besides, letting them fly away on their own if there is light doesn't irritate them. It shouldn't. He will bite easily."

Bai Hao said softly, "Yes" and said, "It's possible what happened to you, but not necessarily what happened to them."

Sister Li Yue said: "And it's best not to fight them without beating them. Ordinary bats have a lot of bacteria on them, not to mention the special species here. If they beat them until their flesh and blood fly everywhere, they will be the unlucky ones. Look. These fangs are definitely capable of biting people.”

Bai Hao asked: "Xiao Qiling, how did you control these bats in your home in ancient times?"

Zhang Qiling thought for a moment and said, "Bell."

I said: "But if bells are used to control these creatures, then we must have a relationship between controlling and being controlled. The bells here can control bats, so these should be the bells worn by the controlled party." , is used for following orders. My brother should also have something for giving orders. When the bell rings, it will produce special sound waves. To deal with sound waves, we usually use another sound wave to interfere with it, or suppress it.

My brother is the controller, so these two sound waves are ineffective against him, but no matter what kind of sound waves they are, they will have an impact on other people. If you really want to use bells to control them, there can't be so many people here, right brother? . "

Zhang Qiling said "Yes" to indicate that he meant this, and I continued: "If it is to use light, I will first blow up the ones around me, and then use light balls to pretend to be flares, but one at a time, and the duration should also refer to the flares. In that case, the light will be bright." It only lasts a minute at most, and they can't all cross the bridge by taking one photo. If you take it repeatedly, it's hard for the bats not to get angry, and they will have no choice but to fight hard."

Brother Bai Hao gave a final reminder and said: "It will take a few seconds to adapt to the light before the light goes out. Be prepared and rush ahead. If it doesn't work, just copy the guy. You do it. As soon as it lights up, we will rush in as soon as possible." past."

So while I was recovering time, I held the gap in the chain with one hand and gathered spiritual light in the palm of this hand to adapt to the light.

As the spiritual light became brighter and brighter, the bats surrounding me began to panic under the strong light, and their claws on me became looser. I gradually brightened the light, and the range of the light source gradually expanded. The bats and I were like a The exploding dandelions and bats of different colors fled away from the center of my light source as if they had been bounced away, and quickly left my side, and I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, I prepared a ball of light pretending to be a flare with my other hand. The lighting time was controlled at the usual 35 seconds. When the bat flew away a little, I raised my hand and threw it out. While the bats around me were only When there were only a few scattered ones, Zhang Qiling said: "Let's go."

We immediately rushed forward. When we were still some distance away from the island, the light ball went out. My body immediately got stuck. Bai Hao said to me: "Don't stop."

I hurriedly continued to follow, and the bats were not idle at all. They started flying back again. This time, I felt that they were not flying slowly like at first, but with some aggressive impulses. When they came to me, some hit me, some flapped me with their wings, and even those who scratched me with their claws dug their sharp nails into the soft skin of my arms, hooking my flesh and hanging on it. , blood immediately flowed out from my arm, and the pain made me burst into tears.

As soon as he reached the edge of the island, Zhang Qiling suddenly stood up and rushed over as if he was flying. He stood firmly on the island. He immediately turned around, raised his right hand and stretched out two fingers towards the hanging. The bat on my arm was as fast as lightning. I was startled, my eyes widened, and I retracted the tears of pain.

He clamped the bat's little neck with his two fingers like iron chopsticks. The bat struggled to throw my arm away and screamed "Zhi Zhi Zhi Zhi". Then there was a "click" and its little head tilted. , its legs stared, its wings drooped, and the brother threw it into the abyss with a flick of his hand.

He followed me and carried me to the island while I was stunned. He held my arm and looked at my wound.

Bai Hao immediately followed and rushed over. Without a moment's delay, he took the medicine from his body and handed it to Zhang Qiling. He then went to the bridge to help.
