Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 297 Patriarch, remains
The three of them won't join forces to play tricks on me, right?My heart skipped a beat, and I wanted to look back, but Meng Luo's face turned blue and purple, he shook his head repeatedly, sweat dripped from his forehead, I could only look down, the headlight shone on my feet, and there was a shadow under my feet, I only saw two long "arms", let's call them arms, after all, they were two long things, waving around my neck, they danced up and down, and the front ends could even be bent to form a An "O", my heart was beating so fast, and my right foot moved forward quietly...

I swear it was just a small step, just moving my toes forward, but the two long "arms" immediately wrapped around my neck, and I pulled back hard. The last shadow that appeared in front of my eyes was Mengluo ran forward, holding the talisman paper in his hand, and then I was dragged into the water with a "gudong" sound. The water was warm, and I was caught off guard when I fell into the water, so I poured a sip of water into my mouth directly. Then it rushed into my throat with the momentum of a galloping horse, and then entered my stomach. I felt that I was going to die. At this moment, I seemed to see the death knife swinging towards my neck, and directly cut off my head!

In less than a second, I made an important decision. There are my partners outside. As long as I hold this breath, they will come to rescue me. I forcefully drink that breath, just like drinking water, and then both I kicked my legs up and took a deep breath. At this moment, those "arms" dragged me into the water again. Taking advantage of this gap, I tightly closed my mouth and pinched my nose. , holding my breath, the headlights were also on underwater, my heart was shocked, the pool was not deep, the center of gravity moved down, my feet stepped on the bottom of the pool, using the support of the bottom of the pool, I turned my body vigorously, I saw the guy on the opposite side!

The light hit that guy's face, and I lost my thoughts instantly, my mind went blank, the face under the water was clearly Hua Ji's face, that alluring face, the long hair like a black waterfall fluttering in the water , is floating with the water pattern, her eyebrows are still slanted into the temples, the soft light in those eyes is still intoxicating, my heart is so painful that I can't help leaning over, those "arms" hug me It's like the tenderness between the two of us that night, her hand touched my neck like this, her head came close, she lay in my arms and closed her eyes gently...

Tears flowed into the hot spring water, just because I once loved that woman sincerely, and I knew more clearly that she was no longer alive, and was taken away by that child. When I opened my eyes again, that beautiful face disappeared and appeared in the What was in front of him was just a ferocious face, it was a skeleton without any flesh!

Its skull and torso are still there, as are its legs, but its hands are gone, replaced by two long vines, which dragged me into the water. It has no flesh at all, faded. It is very clean, but it can move, and even make me hallucinate, what is it?
That's all I can think of, because I've held my breath for too long, I can't hold it anymore, I have to surface immediately, I pinch my nose with one hand, and touch the knife with the other hand, the backpack is tied tightly Falling, but it’s different under water than on land. The buoyancy of the water makes the frequency of movement discounted. I can’t find the knife when I put my hand behind my back. It’s obviously placed on the outer layer of the backpack, but it fell at a critical moment. Chain, when I was struggling desperately, the strength on my neck suddenly disappeared, and a heavy object fell into the water, it was Tao Ran!
She cut off two vines neatly, stretched out her hand and grabbed me, but unfortunately she grabbed my neck, and then floated up vigorously. Almost at the same time, Munro also appeared, and he aimed at the thing under the water and fired a shot. The force of the gun and the cinnabar bullet made the thing retreat several steps in the water. Taking advantage of this gap, Tao Ran pulled me out of the hot spring pool, and Lao Jiu outside hugged my shoulders and dragged me out: " Ge Laozi, are you trying to scare people to death?"

Tao Ran jumped out, her body was dripping with water, her long hair was wet and stuck tightly behind her head, and the little spider was crawling on top of her head, looking at me angrily, probably thinking that I had hurt its master, Mr. Jiu wrapped Tao Ran tightly with his cotton coat, and then found a piece of clothing to wrap around me: "Is it cold?"

I didn’t feel it underwater just now, but now that I’m out of the hot spring pool, I feel cold all over my body. I sneezed and cursed: “Why don’t you go?”

A strange smile appeared on Lao Jiu's face: "I want to do it, but someone is faster than me."

Tao Ran stood up lightly, put on her clothes and walked to the side, her face was extremely pale in the mist, I ignored her, stood up and walked to the edge of the pool, the inside was throbbing, I turned the headlamp on On the surface of the water, I saw a layer of red floating on the surface of the water: "Meng Luo, Meng Luo!"

Meng Luo suddenly floated his head above the water, and his voice trembled again: "Hurry up, pull me up."

I stretched out my body and stretched out my hand to pull him over. Mengluo crawled out tremblingly, dripping water all over his body. I asked, "Where's that thing?"

Munro stretched out a leg: "Here."

I saw that the vine was wrapped around his leg, and the corpse was dragged behind, stumbling out of the pool together, Munro bent down to untie the vine, and the corpse fell to the ground, Without the fangs and claws just now, Meng Luo said: "This is a water ghost. It drowned and died. The cause of death should be that it was dragged into the pool to death by vines around its neck."

"How do you know such details? Are you at the scene?" I sneered, "Is it still Conan's upper body?"

"Look for yourselves." Meng Luo took out three talismans in his hand and stuck them on the foreheads of the three of us: "It's already moving."

As soon as I turned around, I saw something swimming on the ground, like a swimming snake, and two vines were sticking out like the tentacles of animals, coming towards us, Meng Luo said: "What a powerful thing, it sucked the corpse Its corpse aura is really extraordinary, I will destroy the corpse aura on it first, you get out of the way."

The three of us retreated behind Munro. Munro bit the tip of his tongue and took another sip of water. The blood and water sprayed into the air together. A talisman, I saw a flash of golden light, and the talisman made of tongue and blood suddenly grew bigger and covered the two vines, making them unable to move. Meng Luo raised his hands, with a beam of Zhengyang between his fingers Talisman, Zhengyang Talisman fire together, he threw it on the vines, the two vines were immediately ignited, and then quickly extended forward, extending into the jungle, we followed behind Mong Luo, the group The fire burned all the way to the edge of the rock wall, and Lao Jiu suddenly said: "It turns out that this is where the smell of corpses comes from."

The body of that vine is a tall plant with wide leaves, each one as big as a human palm. It has more than two vines, it should be said that only two can be stretched out, while the rest cover the entire wall , as the water mist swayed, now the flames were about to rush up, the scene was spectacular, but Lao Jiu stood there like a sculpture, muttering in his mouth: "Impossible?"

"What's the matter, Lao Jiu?" I was very cold, and seeing Meng Luo still standing there wet, I found a piece of clothing and put it on his shoulders: "Be careful of catching a cold."

"Thank you." Munro said, "This vine has absorbed the corpse's aura, and because of the carrion in the pool, it has become so evil."

"Tell me, it's because you first absorbed the corpse's energy that you became evil, and because of the rotting corpses in the pool, you became even more evil, right?" Lao Jiu said: "The reason for all this is because of this A corpse under a vine?"

I just looked at the direction that Lao Jiu was looking at. There was a corpse beside the vine. Because of the humidity here, most of the corpse had rotted away, and there was still some flesh on the side against the wall, with a strong rotten smell. Stronger, I think, because the corpse fluid is absorbed by the soil, and the corpse fluid is absorbed by the plants here, all the plants!

That's why the smell of the corpse is strong, and the source of everything is this corpse with the toolkit on it!

Tao Ran nudged me with his elbow: "There is something wrong with Lao Jiu."

Lao Jiu stood there with deep eyes. Except my backpack was still hanging behind him, all three of them left behind him. Lao Jiu turned around abruptly to get his own backpack, and took out the box containing gunpowder from it, without any imposing manner. Throw it on the ground: "Look for yourself."

I looked at Lao Jiu's gunpowder box, and then at the corpse's tool bag. The bag was rotten, and there was a box sticking out, except that the color was darker. At least the top of the gunpowder box was the same. A button the size of a little finger, I thought of the words of the old nine outside, and suddenly understood: "So, he is?"

Lao Jiu touched his head and said helplessly: "I never expected to meet Patriarch Master under such circumstances. This kind of tool bag was commonly used by Qinghu Society in the last century. I saw it at Master's place. Master said it was It’s the history of the Green Tiger Club, I can’t forget it, I believe Xu Qiqi still has such a package, Lin Tianyi, I mentioned it to you before, the patriarch Sang Jiuming disappeared in Changbai Mountain, and he sent a letter before he disappeared Going back, he said that he found a wonderful place, that place was covered with snow, and he couldn't find it on the map, and then he never went back. The master took over the Qinghu Club, and at the same time announced that the patriarch had passed away five years later. Lin Tianyi..."

Lao Jiu knelt down with a "plop" and kowtowed heavily: "Master Patriarch, this junior is late."

Tao Ran and I looked at each other, Tao Ran took out his gloves, carefully lifted the tool bag, and took out the box inside. After all, decades have passed, I reminded Tao Ran: "Be careful of falling apart."

Tao Ran's expression changed, and he shook his head: "Don't worry at all, just take a look."

The gunpowder box was pulled out abruptly. Although it was old, it was still intact. Tao Ran opened it and immediately said in astonishment: "The gunpowder inside is still there, and..."
