Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 480 Siguniang Mountain (forty)
480 4 Eighty Chapter Siguniang Mountain (forty)
Zhang Qiling left the cave entrance and walked not far before he stopped. He held up a flashlight and looked inside, inch by inch, from the direction of the cave entrance.

The ground here slopes very gently from the entrance of the cave. The further you go in, the higher the ground becomes and the slope becomes steeper, but the distance of this slope is not too long.

The overall height here is almost two meters. Zhang Qiling can stand upright when standing inside. The walls here are also made of black bricks, and the brick surface is very smooth.

It was very humid here. He saw a large amount of water drained out quickly at the base of the wall. There was a whole row of drainage outlets with water dripping from the edges. There was also some water under the feet. There was no trace of a water level on the wall. , and it is also extremely clean. There must have been a lot of water here before the mechanism was activated just now, and it is likely to be completely submerged.

There are several metal rings that are separately fixed to the wall next to the hole. Two thick black iron chains hang from the ring next to the hole. They look like they are used to get in and out of here or transport small items. It was an auxiliary chain that could be used, but it was also possible that something had been bolted there. After all, the mechanism that was opened in this place was set outside the hole above.

There are only a few sections of the length of these two chains, and no other parts are found nearby. Although this black meteorite iron chain is not something that ordinary people can break, the remaining ones still look very similar. It looks like it has been artificially cut off.

The slope was only a few meters long. Within a few steps, he reached the edge of the slope, and the ground behind him was flat.

He saw that there was a stone room inside. The space was not large. The largest object placed in the room was a rectangular and severely damaged stone table.

There are many grooves for storage on the wall of the stone chamber just like in the original cave. The difference is that the grooves here are not dug directly on the mountain wall, but are storage on the stone wall directly built with black stone bricks. There are many things placed in the grid, including some palm-sized leather bags and some sealed bottles and jars of different sizes.

Not all of the stone chamber was flooded. The tabletop was dry. Looking at the neat water level lines on the table, it was clear that all the water was submerged below the tabletop.

Zhang Qiling looked at the scattered small objects on the table. The scene could be described as a mess. Several bowl-shaped containers were broken, and some black solid gelatin was deposited at the bottom of the largest bowl. , exuding that familiar medicinal fragrance, but other than that, there is nothing interesting on the table.

There is a pile of scattered irregular stones on the ground beside the table. Although the pile of stones has been scattered, judging from the position of the stones, it looks like a stone stove. The gravels are almost all facing the same direction. The stones were scattered on the ground in one direction, as if they had been hit hard or pushed and collapsed. Although the stones had been soaked in water, the traces of the stones being burned by fire were still clearly visible.

There is always a smooth airflow flowing in this stone room, there is enough air, and there are ventilation openings on the wall. There is a large upside-down vessel with holes in it in front of the stone. It looks like a big pot. There are These things and those medicinal soups were probably brewed here.

He looked at the items in the grid on the wall and felt that he should check them. Although it was not wise to open the jars rashly, since this stone room looked like a pharmaceutical workshop, there was no telling whether there might be something in these jars. There are still spiritual flowers here, just some old ordinary medicinal materials, but if there are still spiritual flowers, they must not stay here.

Li Yue stood alone in the dark tomb that was filled with wind and black fungus, and she felt terrified in her heart.

As she waited, she thought, "Zhang Qiling has been in there for a while, but there has been no movement. She has known this child for only a day and a half, and she knows that this child can handle such a big thing by himself, most of the time." I was trying to hold on, maybe I was trying to be brave again, so I asked: "Zhang Qiling, what's going on below, are you okay?"

Zhang Qiling approached the jars on the wall. There were dozens of these jars, large and small, and some of them were damaged and had been spilled. It was damp here, and the spilled items had rotted and turned black, beyond recognition. A quick look at the intact jar showed that there was at least half of it left.

Zhang Qiling thought that in order to tell whether there were spirit flowers in the jar, he would have to open them one by one. It would not be a problem to find them by smelling the familiar scent of the spirit flowers. But the girl might not be able to hold on for that long. The mechanism was opened just now. The movement is not that big. I am afraid that the ice surface over there is about to be unable to hold up, and those monsters are also a safety hazard. Time does not allow us to try them one by one.

Thinking of this, he happened to hear Li Yue calling him, so he shouted: "Come down."

After calling Li Yue down, he said to Li Yue: "Besides smell, is there any other way to tell?"

Li Yue repeated: "Smell? Distinguish? Are you saying there may be remaining spirit flowers here?
The fastest and most effective way to distinguish is for the girl to use her own spiritual energy to search here. Although her spiritual energy is different from the madam's, they are connected by blood after all. If she can sense her mother's spiritual energy, the spirit flower will definitely react.

The spirit flower will not deteriorate no matter how long it is kept. Although the change in appearance may not be visible for a while, as long as Xiaoxun's spiritual energy is detected, the two spiritual energies will echo each other and the spirit flower will be activated immediately. , lit up again, and then, I saw it all at once. "

Li Yue looked at the silent Zhang Qiling and said "Uh", "Are you thinking that if you go back now and call Xiaoxun alone, they know that this is a place for refining medicine, and everyone in the designated meeting will follow them and stop them by force. It will only make them suspicious and make them more curious about Xiaoxun. Their purpose of coming here is different from yours. Your situation is already very embarrassing, and you must not make it worse."

After saying that, both Li Yue and Zhang Qiling fell into deep thought. Li Yue quickly thought about what to do.

Liyue said "Oh" and said, "How about you try it."

Zhang Qiling looked at her confused.

Li Yue said: "Didn't Xiaoxun give you dragon scales? Xue Feng also taught you how to activate spiritual power before, and you have Xiaoxun's unicorn power. Try mobilizing the non-attributed spirit on the dragon scales." Use your strength to scatter and throw them at those jars."

With that said, she hurriedly took out a small bottle containing Xiaoxun's blood from her pocket and handed it to Zhang Qiling. She said, "I brought the blood bottle with me. First, put a drop of blood on the dragon scale, and then mobilize the spiritual power. You have blood and spiritual power, you have good talent, give it a try."

Zhang Qiling thought to herself, last time with the girl's Five Spiritual Yuan in hand and the girl by his side, it was indeed successful, so let's give it a try?

He took out the dragon scale in his arms, and Li Yue dropped a drop of Xiaoxun's blood on it. The moment the blood dropped on the dragon scale, it immediately turned into a jelly candy, and the dragon scale emits a light golden color. The spiritual light came and illuminated the blood drop, which also gave off a faint red glow.

Zhang Qiling tapped the long fingers of his highly sensitive right hand on the jelly-like drops of blood. He thought about the Blood Phoenix Cult's mantra and silently recited it in his mind. He gently pressed the drops of blood on the dragon scales with his fingers. After a few slight movements like drawing a talisman, the pale golden light emitted by the dragon scales and the red light emitted by the blood droplets began to change into spiritual threads and intertwined together.

The jelly-like blood drops gradually turned into two-color spiritual threads and floated up. Zhang Qiling grabbed it and held it in his hand, then splashed it towards the wall like a goddess scattering flowers.

A handful of two-color spiritual threads bloomed like fireworks, and the spiritual threads began to explore around the bottles and jars.

Li Yue observed the situation and said to him: "Zhang Qiling, you can do this. If you want to go to school with us, you will definitely be among the best. I think you can practice more in the future and you will definitely achieve something. Looking at the situation, we only need to You have to wait for a while and you will get the results." Sure enough, after a while, the spirit threads began to fly in the same direction, and soon gathered at an upper grid among the wall storage grids.

They followed Lingsi's direction and walked over. Lingsi circled around an ordinary, palm-sized clay pot. At this time, the jar also glowed red, echoing the light of Lingsi.

Li Yue frowned and said, "It's actually placed in the most inconspicuous place, and it's packed in the most inconspicuous jar here."

Liyue reached over and picked up the jar in front of her, and opened it carefully. A beam of red light suddenly rushed out from the mouth of the bottle, and the aroma of the spirit flower also came out. It must have been suppressed in the jar for too long, and the original faint scent The fragrance of flowers and plants is also very strong at this moment.

The two of them squinted their eyes and looked inside the mouth of the bottle. Seeing the soft, fluffy and bright red filaments lying quietly at the bottom of the bottle, Li Yue said, "That's it. Let's see if there are any more?"

Zhang Qiling looked at her, as if saying, "What did you say?"

Li Yue said: "The method you cast makes you ask if there are any more. What I was looking for just now was a flower. Let's see if there is any compound containing spiritual flowers."

Zhang Qiling looked at the table, and Li Yue looked at the table and asked him: "That is it, then you check again and I will put these away."

Li Yue walked towards the stone table, and Zhang Qiling silently recited the mantra to take back the spirit thread. After holding the spirit thread in his hand this time, he stretched his hand directly upwards. The spirit thread began to wander throughout the stone room, and he himself began to move around the stone room. Look for the one in the back.

We stood on the ice and no longer dared to move, because since the water level dropped crazily again, nearly two meters of height had been completely vacated under the ice. The ice was even more beautiful, and there was still deep water below. , but I know that the ice under my feet is now a beautiful trap. From time to time, the ice cracks with a crisp "crack" sound. I am so frightened that I feel like I am about to fall.

Qi Tiezui said: "Qilin, when will the clan leaders come back? They have been gone for a while."

I stiffly turned my head and glanced at him, thinking, "I want to know too."

I winked at Brother Bai Hao and asked him to block me. He turned around and pretended to rest and said, "Wait a minute, don't worry, they will come back and call us when they find the right road. Do you think Are the traps easy to find and crack?"

As I said that, I was already quietly sensing the whereabouts of my brother and Sister Liyue.

Qi Tiezui pretended to be relaxed and said: "I'm not too anxious. I'm afraid that the ice won't last long. When you hear this sound, your heart will tremble with panic."

As he was talking, he heard the ice suddenly break not far away. There were a few crunching sounds, followed by a loud "pop". Someone next to him cursed and said, "It's broken."

I saw a piece of ice on the shore tilting and collapsing into the ice crack. In the blink of an eye, it hit the water below with a "snap", and there were broken ice crackling down around it.

This movement scared me. Fortunately, Brother Bai Hao kept holding me tightly and comforted me, saying, "Don't be afraid."

Qi Tiezui also made a frightened voice and said: "You... look at what I said, I just said that this ice is about to die."

Gou Wuye said: "Then what should we do? Why don't you go and give us a head to hold on for a while until they come back and take us there."

Qi Tiezui smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't do this."

Gou Wuye said: "Save your strength. If you really fall, you can't use your mouth to save yourself. You can't do it if you don't have strength."

Qi Tiezui sighed, and at the same time his body twisted slightly, and he heard a "crack" from the ice beneath him.

Qi Tiezui said with a horrified look: "No..."

Zhang Rishan said to him: "Master Ba, come a little closer to me." As he said that, he pulled him to move slowly.

Gou Wuye said: "Old man, you've got a bug. You can hold on here for a while if you stay steady. Otherwise, you go down to swim and wait. If you don't dare to go down, I can help you."

Qi Tiezui said tremblingly: "No, this is good, this is good."

Brother Bai Hao asked me quietly: "How are you doing? What are you looking at?"

I told him: "They should be fine, but I feel like they are using spiritual energy. There are a lot of spiritual seedlings floating in that area."

Brother Bai Hao lowered his voice and said, "I guess I discovered something." After saying that, he glanced at the people from Jiumen and then said to me, "Pretend it's nothing, just don't make any noise."
