Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 7 Corpse Cave
007 Chapter 7 Corpse Cave

The younger brother asked me to follow him closely, and Akui also winked at us, telling us not to be left alone.Wu Xie looked a little nervous, so I patted him gently.

She said softly to him: "Brother Wu Xie, don't be nervous, it's okay."

Wu Xie whispered to me in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid?"

I also whispered to him: "I'm afraid, but as long as he is here, I won't be afraid." I looked at the little brother.

Wu Xie obviously didn't quite understand: "Huh?"

At this time, "Donkey Dandan" swam back with a splash. The old man slapped the pipe on his pants and said, "Let's go! The boat is coming."

I saw a cement flat boat sailing out from behind the mountain, and a raft was dragged behind the boat. Standing on the bow was a middle-aged man who looked like an ordinary mountain man, but this man looked ghostly, and there was still a trace of ghosts. cunning.

The man shouted to us and leaned the boat against the rock. The old man patted the cow's neck and invited us to get on the boat.Except for personal luggage, everything else was flipped into the bucket of the boat, and the oxcart and oxen were pulled onto the raft at the back. Uncle San and the others brought too many things, and there was no place to sit, so they had to sit on the side of the boat.

The third uncle negotiated the price with the boatman, and then ordered the boat to sail. The man poled the boat very quickly, and the boat floated out in no time. We walked to the middle of the mountain stream, around a mountain, and suddenly a cool breeze blew. Come on, the front suddenly becomes clearer.

Wu Xie looked at the beautiful scenery and was as excited as if he was traveling. While admiring it, he took out his digital camera and took a lot of photos.Normally I would be the same as him, but now it’s better to be more vigilant.

After walking a little further, the boatman said to us, "There will be a water hole ahead of us. Don't speak loudly in the hole, don't look into the water, and especially don't speak ill of the mountain god."

Pan Zi asked the third master in Hangzhou dialect: "What should I do? Do you want to listen to him?"

The third uncle thought for a while, and replied in Hangzhou dialect: "Now I don't know if there is really a problem with these two people. The nine bends and eighteen bends here are more dangerous than I just expected. Let's listen to him for now." Come on, take one step at a time, fuck the guy first."

I don't understand the dialect, but I can tell by their behavior, so I just have to be on guard.It's normal for them to be nervous. In such a quiet place, if they meet someone who is seeking wealth and murder, no one will even know about his death.

The boat made another almost 180-degree bend and rounded a cliff on the bow. They saw the center of the cave trembling slightly, because the hole was so small that it could only be called a cave, and its width was only ten centimeters wider than the boat. That's all. It's so high that people have to lower themselves to get in.

This hole is very narrow, and the space is so small that we can't move our hands and feet at all. If someone really plotted against us, it would be really easy... Even a little guy like me thinks this hole is too small to move, not to mention that they are all Big man.

Pan Zi said: "This cave is too shabby." After turning a corner, it immediately turned pitch black. Pan Zi turned on the miner's lamp and shined all the way forward. He found that the surrounding cave walls were smooth and moist, with a strange smell. Green, as if there is a layer of moss growing on it.

A Kui looked at the top of his head and took a breath: "Third Master, this hole is not simple. It seems to be... a stolen hole!"

The third uncle stretched out his hand and touched the cave wall with a puzzled look on his face: "It's really a robbery cave. It's been around for many years."

The boatman was kneeling on the bow of the boat with one hand holding the pole. Hearing what we said, he interrupted: "Oh, this guy seems to have some background. He is right. The mountain we are passing now is called the Five Tombs." Ridge, it was passed down earlier that this entire mountain is actually an ancient tomb, and there are many large and small water holes like this nearby."

"Oh, it seems that you are also an expert." The third uncle politely handed over a cigarette.

He shook his head and said, "What an expert? I have heard what people who have been here before have said. After listening to it a lot, I can only say a few words, but it's all superficial."

Although everyone was joking, they were all observing the surroundings vigilantly and holding their weapons tightly.Wu Xie was obviously very nervous. He rubbed his hands from time to time and it seemed that his palms were sweaty.I was afraid of the dark, and the cave was cold and eerie, which temporarily relieved my motion sickness, and I seemed quite calm.

The third uncle asked the boatman what was going on in the cave. The boatman said that he actually didn’t know what was going on. It was all the rules passed down from above. For example, you couldn’t speak loudly or look into the water. As long as you followed the rules, Nothing will happen.They were pulling.

The little brother suddenly waved his hand and shouted softly: "Shh, listen! Someone is talking!"

His sudden movement startled them, making them even more nervous.

Sure enough, I heard the whistling sound coming from the cave. Those voices sounded like they were talking, but I couldn't understand it. Plus the processing of the echo in the cave made it feel very weird. It was really like the scene of a horror movie. .

Looking at this situation, if these two people really have a problem, I'm afraid they should be ready to do something in the chaos. I quietly glanced at one of them secretly.As a result, it was gone in the blink of an eye.According to my speculation, there must be a hiding place in this cave. Since I didn't hear the sound of water, and the surroundings were so silent, I thought it was only the top of the cave, but it was so dark that I couldn't see clearly.

Wu Xie asked the boatman if this sound often came from the cave. He asked several times, but no one answered him.

I whispered to them: "No need to look for it, it's long gone."

Only then did they realize that the boatman was no longer at the bow of the ship. When they turned around, the old man was also gone.

The third uncle shouted anxiously: "Pan Zi, where have they gone?"

"I don't know, I didn't hear the sound of diving." Pan Zi also panicked, "I seemed to be distracted just now."

The third uncle became annoyed: "What's wrong, we don't have corpse energy in our bodies, we don't know what will happen! Pan Zi, you fought in Vietnam, have you ever eaten dead human flesh?" "Are you kidding me, Third Uncle? When I was a soldier, the troops there were basically withdrawing, and they didn't even fire their guns!" Pan Zi pointed at A Kui: "Pang Kui, didn't you always say that your family sold human meat buns for a long time? You must have done it when you were a child. I ate a lot.”

"Fart, I made it up indiscriminately. Besides, this human meat bun is also sold for others to eat. Who do you see selling human meat buns to eat desperately?"

I saw that the uncles were about to start a quarrel, so I hurriedly made a pause gesture and said to them.

"Stop, stop, stop, three uncles, how can you be so ungrateful when things happen? What's it like to be so noisy? Since this is a corpse cave, there must be something with corpse energy. Just find one, don't panic. "Three grown men were a little embarrassed for a moment when they let a little girl talk to them.

Suddenly I had a vague feeling that something was coming, and I quickly said: "Be careful, there is something, please help it."

As soon as I finished speaking, the boat suddenly shook. Pan Zi quickly picked up the miner's lamp and shined it into the water. Using the light, he saw a huge shadow swimming across the water.

Pang Kui's face turned pale with fright. He trembled and pointed into the water. His jaw clicked for a long time without saying a word.

The third uncle was afraid that he would lose his temper, so he slapped him fiercely and cursed: "You're worthless! What the hell, these three brats didn't say a word. You've been with me for so many years, and you're eating shit?"

"My mother... Third Master, this thing is too big! I'm afraid we can't even fit it between our teeth." Pang Kui looked into the water with lingering fear. He was originally sitting on the side of the boat, but now his buttocks are full. He moved to the middle of the boat, as if he was afraid that something would suddenly jump out of the water and snatch him away.

The third uncle glared at him fiercely: "Bah! Do we need guys or people here? I, the third son of the Wu family, have been scrounging for sand for so long, what kind of monsters and ghosts have I not seen? Don't fart here for me if you have nothing to do."

Pan Zi's face turned pale, he looked around and said, "Third Master, this cave is so weird, I feel so scared. How about we go out first and then talk about it?" Wu Xie was speechless and stared blankly. I definitely want to get out in my heart.

The third uncle looked at me and my younger brother at this time, and I made an indifferent gesture to ask him to ask my younger brother's opinion.When Wu Xie saw this, he felt that with the personality of his third uncle, even the King of Heaven did not take him seriously, but now he seemed to be very taboo on this boy. He felt strange and looked confused.

At this moment, the little brother didn't listen to us at all. He stared straight into the water with his eyes, as if he was looking for something, very focused.

I understood what he was going to do, so I told my third uncle and the others, "Don't worry, he has a solution." Then I turned around and looked at my little brother with a smile.To be honest, this guy is so handsome when he looks serious.

The third uncle and the others looked at us two brats with puzzled faces.To see what we are up to.Wu Xie looked at his little brother with wide eyes.He wanted to ask his third uncle who he was, but he felt that the occasion was inappropriate, so he had to ask Pan Zi secretly.

Pan Zi also shook his head and said: "I don't know, I just know that this person has a lot of skills." He pointed at the little brother's hand with his chin and said: "Look, how many years does it take to practice this hand like this?"

Wu Xie had never paid attention to his little brother's hands. When he took a look at them, he found that his hands were really unusual. He immediately thought of the relevant records he had seen in his grandfather's notes: "In ancient times, the masters of the generals in the mountains, There is a two-finger caving skill. Their middle and index fingers are extremely long, as stable as a mountain, and extremely powerful. They can easily crack the small mechanisms in the tomb. "

Pan Zi nodded: "Yes, to master such a unique skill, you have to practice it from a young age. The process must be miserable."

I saw the little brother suddenly raised his right hand and plunged it into the water like lightning. The movement was so fast that a white light flashed by. In an instant, his hand was back, and there was a black finger between his two long fingers. Suddenly there was an insect, and he threw it on the deck: "Don't panic, it was this thing just now."

Wu Xie looked down and was startled: "Isn't this a dragon louse? So that big group of shadows just now was just a large number of water lice swimming by?"

"Yes." The little brother rubbed his hands with his clothes.

Apparently they weren't quite accepting it yet, but they were relieved.I'm looking at this bug, which looks very similar to a picture in my profile, but the caption is not dragon louse.Pang Kui suddenly crushed the insect with his foot, "Damn, I was scared to death." He thought to himself that this person was too irritable...

"No, how could there be so many dragon lice moving at the same time? And this water louse is too big!" Wu Xie turned to look at the little brother and found that he was also looking into the water a little confused, not knowing what he was thinking. Something.

I saw that they were planning to tell them directly, so I said calmly: "This is not a dragon louse, it should be a corpse louse."

After hearing this, the third uncle immediately picked up a severed foot, put it under his nose, smelled it, and said in horror: "Indeed, it's a corpse cricket."

Wu Xie asked: "What is a zombie?"

I looked at Wu Xie: "This kind of bug eats carrion. There are a lot of them in places where there are dead things. If they eat well, they will grow bigger. Look at this head. There must be a place upstream where corpses accumulate. Moreover, The area is quite small.”

"Does this thing bite a living person?" Dakui asked timidly.

The third uncle replied: "If this thing is of normal size, it will definitely not bite people, but looking at the size of this thing, I'm really not sure whether it can bite people. This thing usually only stays in places where there are many dead people. They often swim around, so why are there such a large group migrating together now?"

The little brother suddenly turned his head to the depths of the cave: "I think it may have something to do with the strange sound we heard just now. Have you heard what it is?"

I directly expressed my feelings: "The voice sounded like someone was talking, but when I listened carefully, I couldn't understand it. I felt that if the two old men weren't whispering, then there was probably something going on in the cave. Staring at us."

The little brother nodded, and it seemed that he felt the same way: "It does feel like someone is whispering behind your back, and this thing should be quite small."
