Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 520 Siguniang Mountain (eighty)
5205 Chapter [-] Siguniang Mountain (eighty)
The water seepage was mainly concentrated in the direction of the entrance. As we continued to move forward, the places where water flowed like rain gradually moved away from us.

The water level continued to rise, and more and more corpse cricket larvae swam over. Not long after, the painful cries of some people bitten by those larvae could be heard from behind.

Brother Bai Hao looked at the Huan larvae swimming in the water and said, "No wonder, the gluttonous ones were also washed down."

I asked him: "Gluttony, the kind of person who is reincarnated as a starving ghost?"

Brother Bai Hao said: "It's not a big deal yet. They have bodies like small shrimps and mouths like centipedes. It's easier for them to eat the same kind of food now. These are still cubs, and the poison is not very toxic. If they bite people now, it's just one bite." If the mouth pricks both eyes, even if a group bites them, they will eat them to death and usually they won't die, but this kind of wound will hurt."

I couldn't help but grinned "Huh" and paused for a moment. Brother Bai Hao immediately held my arms with both hands and pushed me to move forward. He also said to me: "Don't stop under your feet, although they may not It will bite you, but it will still try to entangle you." I quickly adjusted my pace.

The moving steps will stir up the water around us. We walk fast, and the steps are many and messy. The larvae around us are floating around in the water in the direction of the chaotic current, and they are stirred up into a pot of porridge. This is not bad. , since you can’t avoid it, you can’t let them bite you so easily.

After we passed another turn, there were some changes in the passage in front of us, which forced us to slow down.

The fog in this passage is thicker than before, and the line of sight is very unclear. The road ahead is blocked by some stationary things, and the passage is cut into two obviously different parts, the upper and lower parts. Obviously, the things are very big. And there are quite a few, the black shadows are all connected into a film.

We slowed down slightly and continued to move forward. The light in my brother's hand illuminated the large black shadow. I squinted and looked at it carefully and said, "It seems to be a box or something."

We continued to get closer, and this time we could see a little more clearly, especially the box closest to us. That thing had edges and corners, as tall as half a man, with one end higher and the other lower. Now I could see what kind of box it was. , I said: "What a coffin."

The coffins were placed vertically against the wall, staggered on the left and right on this road, which just divided the space in the passage, leaving a zigzag path out. My brother raised his hand to signal us to stop first, and he checked After checking the outermost coffin, he walked into the alley between the coffins to check the other coffins.

Brother Bai Hao came to my side and held up a lamp to shine in the distance. My brother was already in front. I thought that if I looked carefully at the scenery over there, it wouldn’t be so scary, so I followed the lights of my two brothers to the passage. Looking from a distance.

They were all much taller than me, and the lights were set higher and farther away. I looked along the lights, and this time I saw two long rows of dark coffins placed quietly in the passage.

The dark passage, the dark coffin, and the ominous feeling I had just suppressed surged up again. I coughed lightly and said, "I can't even see the end."

Brother Bai Hao said: "It is arranged neatly and orderly. It can be seen that it was placed here deliberately."

I said, "It's unreasonable to put a coffin in the passage. Isn't it too much?"

Brother Bai Hao then turned sideways and shined the light on the coffin closest to us. He carefully looked at the coffin in front of him, and specifically looked at the place where the coffin lid and the coffin body were connected and said, "The seam is not sealed."

I looked at him and asked softly: "What's not sealed?"

Brother Bai Hao raised his eyebrows at me, and I asked him, "What do you mean?"

But he gave me a strange and meaningful look and said: "There is no carving or painting on the coffin body. In that era, plain black lacquer coffins were used for people who died unexpectedly."

I immediately looked at the coffin next to me, looked closely at it and said, "This type of coffin needs some white plaster to plug the seams."

Qi Tiezui came over and asked, "The coffins in the tomb must be sealed. Is there anything wrong with these coffins?"

I said, "The problem is that these coffins are sealed, but they are not sealed."

Qi Tiezui looked at the coffin in the distance and said, "Is it sealed or not?"

Brother Bai Hao said: "The space on this stretch of road is too narrow, so it's always a good idea to be more alert."

I nodded and took a deep breath. At this time, the word "Let's go." came from the coffin area in front. My brother stopped a few coffins away and stood waiting for us.

I responded: "Here we are." I stepped forward and walked into the narrow path between the coffins.

Wading through the water and half sideways, I passed one black coffin after another that looked depressing. I quickly caught up with my brother. When he saw that I was following him, he turned around and continued walking forward.

It didn't take long for the team to enter the narrow passage separated by the coffins. As we were walking cautiously, a sound of slowly rubbing stones came from behind us.

When someone asked in confusion what the sound was, the sound was heard one after another where the coffins were placed. Then we discovered that the coffins placed staggered around us were accompanied by this sound that made our scalp numb. , all of them stood up.My brother shouted: "Run." We quickly waded into the water. The water had reached our knees, making it a bit difficult to wade through.

The coffin channel gradually became wider, because the coffins all stood upright within a few seconds. The fully erected coffins looked even more creepy than before. However, this was not enough. There was also some noise coming from inside the coffin. Before the sound could be heard clearly, the coffins in the passage exploded one by one.

The lid of the coffin collapsed, and everything inside was poured out. The water under the feet changed color instantly. Those small and pitiful corpse larvae suddenly became inconspicuous. Instead, they were replaced by a red nematode-like larvae. Something boiled in the water.

Those red nematodes are getting bigger visible to the naked eye when soaked in water, like water-absorbing sponges. When the water is shallow, they become as thick as small snakes.

As soon as they come out, they wrap around their legs. Not only can they not be shaken off, but they also wrap around their bodies like creeping plants. They can't be pulled off by hand, and they will get tighter. It is more important to run out of this area now. Everyone is There was a knife, so I had to keep running while bumping the road.

I found that although the blood stains had dried on the area where my brother had wiped blood on me, the blood-stained upper body was not entangled with them.

Soon we saw a stone door in front of us. This door and the side of the door were as plain as the coffin. My brother first confirmed that there was nothing abnormal behind the door, and I groped for the mechanism to open the door nearby.

There was a sound of fighting behind us. It turned out that not all coffins were filled with red nematodes. When we were struggling with the red worms and running away, the "old friends" hidden in several of the coffins had become active and rushed out of the coffins. Struggled with someone who was entangled in red worms.

The black-haired man closest to us was fighting with Zhang Rishan. Brother Bai Hao helped Zhang Rishan deal with the black-haired man while helping Qi Tiezui remove the red worms.

I tapped the identical bricks, looking for the one that made a different sound when struck.

"Papa, papa", I patted from one side of the door to the other side of the door. I felt that I had captured the brick. I also patted the brick next to it to hear the difference. The target brick sounded different when I tapped it. Feeling empty, I immediately told my brother to confirm it.

He stroked the brick surface with his long fingers, tapped it twice, and then pressed it on. The brick embedded in the wall made a "click" sound and quickly bounced back to its original position. The brother pulled out a knife and inserted it into the crack of the brick. He made a circle in it, then inserted it to one side and pried it gently, and then pinched out this brick board. There was a very simple-looking protrusion in the brick board that looked like a clothes button. He inserted two long fingers into it. Entering the "buttonhole" and twisting the protrusion, the stone door began to make a sound and turned half way.

I followed my brother and got through first. Brother Bai Hao shouted to the people behind him: "Let's go, follow us quickly."

After passing through the stone gate, there were several stone steps going up, and I finally left the water full of bugs. Fortunately, there were not many bugs entangled in me. My brother just used his hands to help me tear off the red bugs wrapped around my legs, and then we I looked at the environment here and found that this was not an ordinary tomb, but a maze.

The roof here is very high. It looks like an octagonal tomb with a vault on top. There is a huge circle in the center of the vault with dots on it.

I asked my brother: "Are these points a star map?"

My brother softly said "Yes", and I looked at eight thicker chains gathered in the center of the circle. The chains extended to the eight corners. A thinner chain hung down from the slightly larger points on the circle. The ends of the chains fell directly into a corner of the maze, and these chains were hung with bronze bells that they least expected to encounter.

We walked to the maze wall. My brother stroked the wall and found that the maze wall was made of the kind of black stone commonly used at home. I said, "It's bronze and black stone. Anyone who goes in will be confused." If there is nothing underneath the tomb roof, you might be able to see the maze terrain by climbing on the maze wall."

I looked at the top of the tomb and said, "It's okay. We can't go up and are afraid of touching the bell. There is my light spot. I gathered a lot of spiritual light spots in my hand. I opened my hand and looked at the light in my hand. With a gentle blow, firefly-like spiritual light points flew out.

The light spots are floating in the air. I want to draw a detailed map. I will draw the light spots in layers so that they will not fall on the same part repeatedly.

The light spots of spiritual power floated to the top of the tomb and first landed on the eight thick chains. I stretched out a hand and took back the outline light of the eight chains with the palm of my hand facing up. Then some light spots of spiritual power fell on them. On those thin chains, when I withdrew this layer of outline light, another wave of spiritual light fell on the maze wall.

Falling one layer, then collecting another layer, several layers of outline light were superimposed in my hand. I shook my palm up and down, and the outline light in my hand turned into different colors for differentiation. I waited for the last layer of outline light that fell on the ground to return to my hand. On the top, I clasped my hands down, and the three-dimensional view of the tomb floated in front of us.

I made a copy and flattened it with a wave of my right hand, so that a three-dimensional view and a plan view were ready for exploration. I immediately gave it to my brother to check and said to him: "You take a look first, and I will help them."

I turned around and helped Brother Bai Hao and Sister Li Yue pull people to the entrance of the maze. The people who came over looked even more embarrassed than before. This time, even Zhang Rishan, who was very skilled, had several wounds.

The black-haired man was still in the passage and did not follow him, but the red worm was brought here. After all, the red worm should be afraid of fire. The fire is most effective when it is close, so I unfolded a rectangular bar. A fire barrier was erected at the door, and I asked them to walk one by one from the position I designated without deviating at all.

If you pass a fire barrier, you have to pass through the middle of the barrier, just like walking through a fire ring, but they can't see the fire barrier, and their injuries are also different. The shape of the barrier depends on their injuries, and the outline needs to be changed appropriately. I You have to watch them not to go astray, otherwise they will turn into barbecue.

When I saw Qi Tiezui passing through, I just watched him come over. As a result, his body tilted slightly, and the smell of burning protein immediately wafted out. I was startled, and I saw Zhang Rishan's quick eyes and hands. He hit his head a few times to extinguish the newly ignited spark.
