Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 67 Move On
067 Chapter 67 Keep going

To be honest, there are really many Chi Gus here. After a while, the ground was covered with gravel fragments from masks, and the ashes from burned insects were scattered on the other end of the fishing net. The ground was soon covered with thick layers of of one layer.

At first, they rushed over in waves like moths to a flame, desperate.Later, more and more bugs rushed over, and more and more fireball bugs were set on fire. Those bugs were afraid of fire, so those who came later were scared away as soon as they felt the fire. Now there is basically nothing to see. .

I set up the formation, and the little brother took me back to sit down. After I lost control of my emotions, I stumbled, and I sat beside him in a daze. Maybe it was because of what the little brother said before, I still felt sad. Unconsciously, I became sulky and sighed.The little brother sat next to me, quietly looking at me, a silly girl, with soft eyes.

Setting up this formation consumes a lot of spiritual power, especially for me now... After a while, the little brother saw that I started to doze off, my eyelids tightened, and I was swaying. I could tell at a glance that I was dozing off. My physical strength was almost exhausted again, not to mention that I was still injured. The little brother looked at it and saw that there were no more insects, so he said to me: "Girl, take a rest." I glanced over there, nodded, and waved obediently. He waved his hand and removed the fishing net array and the ball.She fell asleep in his arms again.

At this time, the fat man suddenly sat up and looked at the calm situation in front of him, but there were also many strange debris and ash, and the air was still filled with the smell of burning insects. He wrinkled his nose and sniffed, and asked with a puzzled face: "This What's going on? Where are the insects?"

The little brother was afraid of disturbing me and said softly: "Those are the ones over there."

The fat man said "Ah", looked at the piece of thing and said: "Awesome, you did it? How many insects are there in such a big piece..." Suddenly he said "Alas" again, turned around and said: " No, dumb Zhang, just kill the insects. Why did you crush me just now?" He saw that I fell down again and said, "Hey, the girl fell asleep again."

The little brother said calmly: "She's too tired, let her rest for a while."

When Fatty heard this, was he too tired?He widened his eyes and asked, "What do you mean, she killed these insects?"

The little brother glanced at him and didn't answer the question. Then he started to carry me on his back and said, "There is still another place to go, let's go."

The fat man quickly picked up all the equipment and sighed and said, "Sure, we'll go wherever you want."

He followed the little brother and looked around every corner of the tomb that he had not yet visited. Finally, he saw a protruding square brick in a corner with his mark engraved on it. Without saying a word, he stretched out his hand. Just press it.

A revolving door appeared on the wall not far away. When you opened it, there was another man-made cave. The road was sloping upward. It was damp and had a strong musty smell. The fat man frowned and covered his nose. .

This hole is not very long. After walking for a few minutes, I saw two holes in front of me. On one side, I could vaguely see the bronze tree branches outside, and on the other side, it was dark. The little brother slowly put me down and handed me to the fat man to hold me up. The fat man was doing it very lightly for fear of waking me up.

The little brother walked to the cave entrance where he could see the bronze tree and looked out. He looked around and grabbed a vine on the rock wall. After confirming that it was strong, he pulled it and flew out. The fat man actually wanted to go there and have a look. , but he supported me and didn’t dare to move at all. He just stood there like a statue, waiting for the little brother to come back.

After a while, the little brother grabbed the vine and swung back into the cave lightly, saying: "Go out from here and go up, and you will see the plank road built around the rock wall. We are going there, but... …”

The fat man said "Ah" and waited for the little brother to continue speaking. After waiting for a while, the little brother stopped talking as if he was thinking about something. The fat man couldn't help but ask him: "Well, dumb Zhang, don't gasp. Okay, I’m so anxious.”

The little brother looked at him and said, "It might be dangerous."

The fat man asked him: "Have you remembered?"

The younger brother said calmly: "Feeling."

When the fat man heard this, he had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll listen to you anyway. Lead the way."

The little brother woke me up gently and said to me: "Girl, come here." Then he pulled me to the entrance of the cave. He pointed to the top not far away and said to me: "You see those sections stuck on the cliff? Are you on the wooden plank road above?" I looked at him and nodded.He continued: "We are going there. There may be danger there, so be careful." Then I nodded again.

Following the little brother, he took out the rope from the bag. He held the rope in one hand and tightened the vine with the other. He flew up, kicked off the rock wall a few times, and reached the cave above. Then he dropped the rope and came down. , seeing that I was tightening, he pulled me up.The fat man pulled the vine and climbed up the rock wall with a grin on his face. When he reached the edge of the cave, the little brother reached out and gave him a hand.

After walking up for a short distance, we arrived at a place with handrails. There were many tree roots hanging down, and many of them were wrapped around the handrails. more.

The little brother asked us to follow where he was walking up. Just in case, the little brother tied one end of the rope to me and rolled the other end around his arm. If I didn't step on it, he could still hurry up. Pull me back.

We went up, walked or climbed several times, and walked on the plank road above. The plank road made a "crunching" sound, which made me feel uncomfortable. The little brother kept slowing down and waiting for me, because the roots of the trees were The rocks here are cracked, and rocks fall from time to time. The little brother will remind me to be careful at any time, and the fat man is panting from exhaustion.

Suddenly, a very big gap appeared on the plank road in front. It was quite far away. If you want to get across, you can only use these roots. I tried it. These hanging roots are still very strong. I tied the other end of the rope. He was tied to me, and he was now my safety rope. The three of us dragged the thick roots, slowly moved to the cliff, and climbed to the other side bit by bit. I was very strenuous, so I climbed very hard. Be careful, the speed is very slow, trembling, and I am also very scared, but I still persevere. When I get to the other side, the little brother jumps onto the plank road first and then picks me up. My arms are so tired that they are weak, and my legs are so scared that they are weak.

The top can already be seen from here. The little brother looked at the situation on the side and said: "These roots hanging from the top of the cave may be the few dozen trees that were seen from the top of Jinyu Mountain when we came here." Surrounded by big banyan trees, this is a natural cave. The ancients could not have come in through the mountain when they came to offer sacrifices. There must be a cave system above that can lead to the outside." The fat man gasped and said, "That's okay, at least I know Where did you go from? This is good news. It would be very difficult to go back the same way."

Lao Itch ignored his injury and wanted to go up as soon as possible, but Wu Xie and Master Liang thought that they should check the injury first. Originally Lao Itch wanted to say something, but in the end he could only cry out in pain.

Wu Xie found a nearby small cave that was less than one meter high and about seven or eight meters deep. The air inside was very humid. There was a layer of spots corroded by mold on the rock wall. There seemed to be some signs of human activity. At the bottom of the cave, It was a rough rock surface. Wu Xie looked at it and saw that there was no danger. He stuck a torch at the entrance of the cave to prevent insects from running in, and rested here for the time being.

Master Liang used a racket to make a restraint and tied it to Lao Itch's back with a rope. Gradually Lao Itch's expression softened.

Wu Xie quietly asked Master Liang about his old itching. Master Liang said quietly: "The bone is not broken, but it must have cracked. I fixed it temporarily, which can alleviate it to some extent. Brother Wu, let me be honest." So, please read below. You'd better advise this friend of yours. Look at him now and look at us. We must not climb up any more. If we insist on going up, I'm afraid we will really die here this time. .”

Wu Xie glanced at Lao Chu. He was frowning and enduring the pain. His eyes were already blurry. Wu Xie patted Master Liang on the shoulder and said softly to him: "We still need to see the situation. You should go first." Rest, even if you want to go down, you have to rest enough."

Master Liang muttered, and the cat quietly went aside to rest.Wu Xie checked the remaining things, sat down, and rubbed his temples, wondering whether he should continue walking or return home. He had worked so hard to get here, so it was a pity to go back like this, but again Looking at their current situation, what Master Liang said makes sense. They have broken bones and unstable health. Looking at themselves, their physical strength has reached its limit. It is indeed not a wise move to continue climbing up.

If this goes on, Lao Itch will think that he has united with outsiders to deal with him, and this friend may not be able to continue. Besides, although Master Liang is very weak, he is very clever. After all, he is not from the same group. Maybe this is Master Liang's differentiation. The move between him and Lao Itch was probably a trap... Don't trust Aning as easily as before.

After much deliberation, I couldn't think of a reason, so I simply gave up and decided to take one step at a time.

Wu Xie turned his head and saw that they were both asleep, and he felt sleepy. Although he was forcing himself not to sleep, he finally fell asleep unknowingly.

When I woke up, my whole body was soft, and the relaxed muscles all over my body were sore and painful. I looked at the torch at the entrance of the cave. The light was already very weak. It seemed that I had slept for a long time. I stuck my head out and looked towards Outside, the chigu had disappeared, only a few scattered ones were still lying there, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

I picked up a flashlight and looked up. If I went up to the top of the Bronze Tree from here, it would only take three to four hours, but I still couldn't make a decision.

Looking back, I saw that Lao Itch hadn't woken up yet, but his demeanor seemed to be much better. He thought to himself that he would discuss with Master Liang again what to do next. When he looked, he found that Master Liang was missing.

Wu Xie couldn't help but was stunned. He shined his flashlight into the depths of the cave, but there was no sign of him. He thought to himself, this old boy really tricked me!At this moment, he suddenly discovered that the swatter used to fix Lao Itch's wound was gone. He immediately touched his waist and found that his pistol was gone too!An old fox is an old fox, so he couldn't help but yell: "You bastard!"

Wu Xie was so angry that he stole his gun and ran away while he was sleeping!I just wonder why he didn't take away the lighting tools. How did he act?At this moment, Wu Xie's mind was burning with anger, and there was not much reason left. He picked up a torch and wanted to go out and chase him.

As soon as Wu Xie stepped out of the cave, he didn't even have time to analyze which direction to pursue. A black shadow swung down from above. Wu Xie was unprepared and kicked hard in the chest. fell back into the hole.This was not a slight blow. Wu Xie gritted his teeth in pain. Just as he was about to stand up, he received another heavy blow on his chin. He almost fainted. In a daze, he saw a fat man with a cigarette in his mouth walking into the hole. Holding a short rifle in his hand, it was Boss Wang!

Looking at the livid Master Liang behind him, who was eating everything from inside to outside, he became angry. The man surnamed Wang pointed a gun at Wu Xie and asked Wu Xie to step aside. Wu Xie understood that he had become a living meat ticket again, and thought to himself , this hateful old guy, I took care of you all the way here, but I didn't expect that you would treat me like this. If I had known about this, I would have killed you in the first place to avoid future troubles.At this time, Wu Xieqi's head was about to explode.

The fat boss took out the solid fuel wind lamp from his backpack, lit it and placed it on the ground. This thing is a piece of equipment used when climbing high-altitude snow-capped mountains. It can be used for both lighting and heating. Suddenly the whole cave lit up.Then he took out a few compressed biscuits and threw them to Wu Xie. While doing these things, the muzzle of the short rifle in his hand was always pointed at him.

Wu Xie took the biscuit he threw and immediately threw the biscuit back to him and said: "Brothers, I'll leave it in your hands. If you want to kill me, kill me. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Master Liang grinned, turned to the fat boss and said, "Look, let me tell you, a green head is a green head, and I still don't understand the situation."

Boss Wang shook his head, threw the biscuit to him again and said: "Little brother, when you go out to run around, you have to show off your forehead. I give you something to eat, but I don't intend to touch you. If you meet someone with a bad temper, that's it." Seeking death."

Boss Wang glanced at Wu Xie, took a deep drag on his cigarette and continued: "I am different from Lao Tai and others. I am a businessman. In business, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies."

Master Liang said: "Boss Wang, why don't you just tell them directly? These two boys are hard-pressed. The boy named Wu is easier to talk to. I'm afraid it will be a lot of trouble when the sleeping boy wakes up. "

Boss Wang laughed and said to Wu Xie: "Let me put it bluntly. I don't like to use knives and guns. You have seen this situation now, even if it doesn't fall into my hands , it will be difficult for you to get out. Lao Tai is already dead, and there is no point in dealing with you. You should consider whether you want to cooperate with me. I will ensure that you do not suffer losses, and you still make profits."

When Wu Xie heard this, wasn't this what I said to Master Liang back then?Damn, he came to my place again every few hours. It was really a turn of events.
