Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 99

099 Chapter 99 Drag it down
The little brother carried me to a corner where I could see them and hide. He gently put me on the ground and supported me with one hand.

Although the shock wave from the explosive just now was not big, we were still relatively close.

If we had stayed in the same position we originally stood to meet the shock wave, both of us would probably have been knocked out. We wouldn't have died, but we would have definitely been injured, and bleeding was probably unavoidable.

However, fortunately, a second or two before the explosion, the little brother reacted quickly and took me farther away, and finally flew out again, successfully avoiding the danger of being blown away. , I can only fall once at most. As expected, it is different if I have experience and good skills.

However, after being frightened by the giant bug and the explosion, my heartbeat has been very fast, my breathing has been very rapid, and I feel like I am lacking oxygen. The loud noise irritated the eardrums, causing pain in the ears and making the head feel dizzy.

I remember that the little brother protected me and flew forward. Before landing, he turned over and let me fall on him to cushion me. Otherwise, my small body would hit the ground directly, and it would probably fall apart.Following him, I turned over again, and he protected me in his arms like a protective god, using his body to block all the pieces of wood that exploded and flew everywhere. So, it’s great to have a little brother here.

At this time, he looked at me very worriedly. I was a little dazed and had some hearing problems for the time being, so I was stunned. He quickly checked whether I was injured, looked at my head, body, arms and legs. After checking the whole thing, he was instantly relieved when he saw that there seemed to be nothing wrong with me.He tilted his head, looked at me with crooked eyes, and gently helped me remove the small sawdust stuck to my hair and clothes.Maybe because I was confused, I looked even more stupid. I always felt that he wanted to laugh at me again, but in the end he didn't laugh.

The wooden boards in the spiritual palace have been frozen for many years, and the gaps are filled with ice particles condensed by moisture in the air. The heat of the fire gradually melts them, and the explosive and burning fire naturally gradually extinguishes.

The explosion caused a big hole in the floor. They walked towards the hole and we continued to watch their movements.

After what happened, Wu Xie was in a bad mood and walked heavily. The fat man saw that Wu Xie still couldn't let go. He patted him and said softly to him: "Forget it, he is one of their people anyway, maybe he still has something on his hands." You are carrying a life debt, and you have to pay it back after you come out to mess around."

Shunzi was confused now, a little scared and dumbfounded, and followed them to the hole in the floor that was blown out.

They used their flashlights to look down and saw that a big hole had been made in the bricks under the wooden floor, and a gap had been opened in the underground corridor reinforced with black stone strips. It was obvious that the place below was empty.

Wu Xie looked at it and said: "If you want to build this spiritual palace on a steep slope, and the floor is flat, then there will definitely be a triangular space supported by beams and columns below. Everything is built on a steep slope or cliff. All buildings will have such a structure. There is wind blowing out here, which is obviously connected to the outside world. Maybe you can get out from here, but the triangular space below is surrounded by white plaster walls, so you cannot be sure of the situation below. "

The fat man took a look and said, "That's better than staying here and feeding the bugs. Look at the centipedes all over the ground. If you insist on going out through the front door, you'll probably have a delicious meal before you get to the door, let alone this door." Haven’t found it yet.”

After saying that, the fat man jumped into the hole created by the explosion. He looked at the hole and saw that the hole below could not accommodate a person to pass through. He had to dig it bigger. Monk Hua also jumped in to help.

The fat man suddenly asked: "Zhenzhen, is it possible to dig like this? There won't be any problems, right?"

Wu Xie was a little worried and said: "I think you should not mess around. The stone corridor is already brittle from the cold in winter, not to mention it has been frozen for hundreds of years. The explosion just now must have destroyed the pressure-bearing structure below. I don’t know how high it is down here. If it suddenly collapses, it’s not just one or two people. It’s very likely that the entire ground near here will sink, and then the spiritual palace will become our seal."

After listening to Wu Xie's words, Fatty and Monk Hua tied a rope around their waists and tied the other end to a huge pillar on one side. They all fastened the buttons to the rope so that they could take care of each other in the event of a collapse.

They were ready. The fat man raised the hammer and smashed it at the stone slab below. Unexpectedly, he just hit it and heard a "Gahba" sound. In the blink of an eye, the fat man sank in and got directly stuck in the root of his thigh.

Wu Xie was so frightened that one of the beams as thick as a bowl was broken under the fat man's feet. Seeing that he was stuck, Wu Xie hurriedly asked, "Are you okay? Fortunately, it was just his foot that got stuck." "

The fat man cursed angrily and fearfully: "Damn it, I just..." He cursed and pulled his leg out, but when it reached his knee, he couldn't pull out the half of the leg. The fat man was stunned, his face suddenly changed, he said "Hmm", and suddenly shouted: "No, damn, there is something down there pulling my feet!" Just as he said "Hmm", he slipped down and slid down. go.

Monk Hua hurriedly grabbed both of his hands and pulled him up. Others rushed over to help. After a while, they pulled out his feet, but they could not pull him up to the brick pit.

Everyone suddenly felt strange. Ye Cheng turned on his flashlight and looked down. They saw a green-purple dry hand sticking out from the hole in the stone corridor that the fat man had stepped on, and tightly grasping the fat man's ankle. .

I saw the little brother frowning, and I grabbed his arm unconsciously, feeling that there was something scary underneath.

Everyone panicked at once. They didn't expect that there would be something underneath. Pan Zi quickly reached out and turned over the folding shovel at his waist, jumped into the pit, swung it up and chopped at it, but the fat man kept swinging his feet. Throwing it away, he couldn't hit it, but it hit the stone on the side, causing sparks to fly instantly.

I took a breath of air, this was Mou Zujin's chop. If the attack was wrong, the fat man would be in trouble... I whispered: "Brother, they are fine." His expression softened a lot, He patted me, probably saying "They can handle it, don't worry."

The little brother saw the purple dry hand from Wu Xie's perspective. It seems that he should already know what is underneath. He thinks it is okay, so it should be okay.

When Pan Zi saw this, the fat man was so frightened that his eyes widened and he shouted: "You must chop on target, don't chop my feet, Fat Master!"

Pan Zi also yelled: "Don't fucking move, or I'll cut it from your thigh!" As he said that, he swung it again, but he didn't expect that this time he still missed.

The fat man shouted: "Change someone else, this guy doesn't like me, he wants to avenge himself."

Ye Cheng and Monk Hua on one side quickly jumped down to help. They wanted to hold down the fat man's legs, but they didn't expect that Ye Cheng had not yet regained his footing. Suddenly, he collapsed, and his whole body shrank, and the stone corridor below collapsed again. Got a piece.

Wu Xie thought to himself, "You damn thing are just here to cause trouble!" But it was hard to say anything because he was originally helping.

Monk Hua rushed up and grabbed Ye Cheng, but he couldn't stand still and stumbled into Wu Xie's hand holding the fat man's hand. Because of the angle, Wu Xie couldn't use his strength, so he lost his hand after the collision. , the fat man was dragged down, rolled into a ball with several people, and fell into the bottom of the pit.

Together with them, Wu Xie and Pan Zi fell heavily on the slope of the brick pit. Before Wu Xie could stand up, a series of "clack" sounds were heard from below the brick layer.

Wu Xie's heart suddenly went cold, and his face instantly turned as white as paper. He studied architecture. This sound was the sound of large-scale longitudinal cracking of frozen stone materials. He was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar with it. He smiled bitterly in his heart.
Then there was a sudden earthquake all around, and the entire pit suddenly sank, and the stone corridor below the pit collapsed.Suddenly everyone there lost their balance.It rolled down the slope like a slide, until it fell into the depression created by the collapse of the wooden corridor.

We were swaying here and there, and the little brother held on to me tightly.Everything happened so fast in front of me. I saw the little brother sigh deeply and shake his head. I asked him: "Are they really okay?"

The little brother turned his head and sat down and said to me calmly: "Let's take a rest first." "Have a rest...did you remember something?" I was stunned for a moment. Seeing that he didn't answer, I asked again: "Could it be? , just fall down, right?" I blinked and looked at him, and when he didn't answer, it seemed like yes, and I suddenly realized, "Then we have to go down from here too."

The little brother looked at me and nodded. Suddenly he touched my head and said to me very seriously: "You'd better be mentally prepared."

Seeing what he said to me so seriously, I asked him weakly: "Brother, what you mean is that the thing below is very scary. If I am not mentally prepared, I will be scared to death, right... …Is it scarier than a giant insect?”

After I finished speaking, he sighed... I immediately started to feel flustered.When I thought that Wu Xie had gone down, I could see it immediately... A chill came over me, and I suddenly thought, something is wrong, so I hurriedly said to him: "Then if we go down again, wouldn't we have to see it twice?" ..." His little hands trembled and he gestured with two characters.

The little brother grabbed my trembling little hand and pulled me directly into his arms.I leaned against him, and he patted my head gently with one hand, and patted my back with the other hand. My little hands unconsciously held his clothes. I actually didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but since it was unavoidable, Well, then we have to face reality.

Wu Xie, who had fallen down at this time, was caught by the rope that had been hung in advance. He fell onto a slope and stopped there. He grinned in pain from the fall.

Then the bricks collapsed and rolled down all around, hitting them on the head.The slope below him was too steep. Wu Xie wanted to sit up, but his feet couldn't support him. He had to cover his head with his hands to block the falling bricks. He was worried about the others and shouted: "Are you okay? ?”

All that was heard was a series of curses and the clanging of bricks.

After waiting for a while, the rain of bricks finally stopped. Wu Xie raised his head and looked around, only to see a mess in front of him. Some of their flashlights were wrapped in bricks, and some fell down along the slope. In the darkness, luckily it was used for mountaineering and was quite sturdy, and not a single one was broken.

The surroundings were pitch black, and you could vaguely see the break in the stone corridor above your head. This was the space elevated on the steep rock below the Linggong Hall.

Fortunately, there was a rope hanging on them, and they were falling on a steep slope, otherwise they would have rolled down directly.

Wu Xie grabbed Ye Cheng who was hanging on top and asked, "Are you okay?" He replied, "It's time for lunch." When Wu Xie heard this, he thought to himself, "Oh, this is a fool..."

Then I heard Monk Hua shouting in the darkness: "Be careful, there may be a rice dumpling here, you copycat. If you have hooves, take them out! Fatty, where are you? Is that thing that's grabbing your feet still there?"

The fat man was at the bottom, and people and bricks all fell on him. It was really enough for him. His voice came out from the pile of bricks: "You are still holding on, and you almost touched the top of my thigh. I put him It’s clamped, pull me out quickly, otherwise you fat man, I won’t be able to keep my dick!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Pan Zi shouted: "Damn fat man! That's my fucking hand!"

The fat man scolded him when he heard this: "Damn it! You don't know how to pick a good time to act like a gangster?"

The few people who were not pinned down groped in the dark and pulled the bricks down the slope.Panzi was dug out first, but his hand was tightly clamped by the fat man and he couldn't pull it out.

They continued to dig, and soon the fat man was dug out. He gasped and said: "You guys are so willing to crush me after a thousand cuts. Fortunately, I have this fat with me. Otherwise, I would have returned to my position this time." .”

Pan Zi frowned and looked at him and said, "Where's that thing on your foot?"

The fat man kicked his legs and felt for a while and said, "No! It's impossible to hold on after falling like this. We may have crashed down the slope. How can there be zongzi in a place like this?"

Monk Hua reminded everyone: "Don't take it lightly. If it is really a zongzi, it must still be nearby. Be careful, take the black donkey's hooves and find it with your flashlight first!"

Several people hurriedly went to touch the flashlight under the bricks, but Wu Xie couldn't find it even after touching it. Ye Cheng on the other side was much luckier than him, and he touched it after a while.As soon as the flashlight was pulled out from the pile of bricks, the surrounding area suddenly lit up. He picked it up and immediately shined it downwards. Wu Xie wanted to scold him. He was about to ask him to dim it a little. Suddenly, he saw Ye Cheng's His face turned green instantly.

Seeing this expression, this look on his face, Wu Xie suddenly started to break into a cold sweat. What does this mean? Is there something behind me?He gritted his teeth and turned around to look, only to see a strange green-purple dry face next to his shoulder, only a foot away from his nose.He was so frightened that he said "Ouch" and shrank back. He picked up a brick with his left hand and patted it. He didn't know whether he hit it or not, so he turned around and started to climb up.

At this time, several other flashlights were dug out, and the surrounding area suddenly lit up.Wu Xie was so frightened that he climbed up a few steps, but Ye Cheng was blocking the way, so he couldn't get out of the way. He slid down again, and when he looked to the side inadvertently, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

I said to myself, brother Wu Xie, can you stop looking around? What are you looking at... On the steep cliff under the Linggong Palace, layers of simple terrace-like protrusions have been built, and they are neatly arranged on the protrusions. The floor was filled with frozen blue-purple ancient corpses. Each floor was densely packed. All the corpses were huddled together, and each one had a ferocious appearance...

I was so frightened that I balled up tightly in my little brother's arms. He actually didn't want me to see this, but I wanted to continue to guard him and walk with him, so I had to go through this... Looking at me, he could only guard me and comfort me. He hugged me tightly with one hand and gently touched my face with the other hand, feeling very distressed.

Wu Xie was dumbfounded. The scene in front of him looked like the Luohan Hall in the temple. These corpses were obviously frozen to death. They were all meditating here like monks. There were too many and he didn't know what happened. how many.

Ye Cheng trembled and said, "Holy shit, is this the charnel house where monks pile up golden bodies?" He was still a little weak as he said that.

Chen Pi Asi held him down, waved his hand, and said to him: "Don't be afraid, it's just a corpse." He pointed at Wu Xie's feet.He looked down in the direction of his finger and saw a mummy that had been trampled into powder among the bricks under his feet.

Chen Pi Asi said: "What's so scary? The dead people here are as cold as stones and will break when touched. It's impossible for these things to transform into corpses. There should be no rice dumplings here."

The fat man asked: "What was that thing that grabbed my feet just now?"

Chen Pi Asi said: "Your feet may have been hooked by the corpse's hand just now. Otherwise, if it were a zongzi, do you think you still have legs? If you don't believe me, just look at your trousers."

The fat man looked down at the trousers he had grabbed just now. There was a hole in it, and a hook-shaped dry hand was in the pile of bricks not far from his feet.Wu Xie picked it up and saw that the hand was extremely hard and could not stretch to grab someone's leg.

There were no rice dumplings, so everyone immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Pan Zi said an exaggerated "Alas": "If you are so timid, you will get it wrong."

The fat man was furious, but he couldn't really find a reason. He cursed in his heart and stood sulking. He glared at Pan Zi and said, "That hand really grabbed my foot just now. I was hooked and caught." I still can’t tell the difference? I’m so damned if I don’t believe it.”
