Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 460 Severing, cutting with a knife

Qiao Mo said affirmatively: "The number 7 is exactly the same. It is this one. It was the one that led me into the trap just now."

As she spoke, she patted the little guy on the back. The little guy looked at Qiao Mo pitifully, his eyes seemed to be dripping water. The pitiful appearance made Qiao Mo feel a little soft-hearted, but she immediately said, "Don't act pitiful."

As soon as Qiao Mo's voice fell, the little guy put away his pitiful appearance, and Meng Luo said: "They can understand us, but unfortunately, it would be better if they could translate their voices into human language."

"Let's find a bird language expert." Lao Jiu sneered: "Find a way to get in first, Lin Tianyi, help me."

I nodded and worked together with Lao Jiu to remove the stones. A small hole appeared in front of me. Lao Jiu was the thinnest. He took off his backpack and handed it to me for safekeeping. , the caves below are connected to each other, like a maze, Lin Tianyi, you tie the rope around my waist, I will try my best to go inside to see if it is connected, if it is connected, it is worth a try, anyway, it will be dark .”

I nodded, and neatly tied the rope around his waist, Lao Jiu started to walk in, the rope went from loose to tight, until it was tight, I pulled it hard: "Old Jiu, come out!"

The rope was 30 meters long, and the rope was stretched so tightly that it was enough for Lao Jiu to go deep into the room for more than 20 meters. Even counting the corners and some obstacles, Lao Jiu pulled the rope at the other end and almost pulled me off. This was probably his response to me, "Hey, can you hear me?" I raised my voice and said, "Come out soon."

Lao Jiu still didn't respond, I thought for a while, he probably wanted us to go down, I told Meng Luo and Qiao Mo what I meant, when I was packing up my things and preparing to go down, the rope in my hand suddenly broke!

Because the rope broke suddenly, my body staggered. After I stabilized my body, an ominous premonition emerged in my heart, and I quickly pulled the rope. One end of the rope was cut off!

Qiao Mo had a lot of experience, and immediately said, "It's a sharp weapon like a dagger. It's impossible for Lao Jiu to cut it off himself. The situation is not good. Let's go in and have a look."

I nodded, the rope was cut in the middle, I picked up my luggage and jumped down without saying a word, after a few steps in, I was dumbfounded, the caves inside are intricate, only this one is connected to the other four caves , I couldn't tell which one Lao Jiu entered for a moment, "Damn it, which one is it?" The cave was very dark, I quickly took out the headlight and looked around, Qiao Mo also came down with Meng Luo, Qiao Mo's hand Still clutching the little thing.

With the headlights, I could see clearly all around. I immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As expected of the old nine, I had already left my mark in advance. There was a "nine" character carved with a knife on the side of a hole, "Yes There." Qiao Mo still had instincts, and immediately rushed into the cave, and then turned around a hole, we saw the cut rope, and the other end fell on the ground, judging from the distance, Lao Jiu was here just now, now only Yu Shengzi, I don't see Lao Jiu!

Qiao Mo was looking for the mark as before, but this time Lao Jiu didn't have time to leave a mark, but there are two connected caves here, Qiao Mo said disappointedly: "What should I do?"

"No hurry, let me think about it." I closed my eyes and carefully recalled everything that happened. Something was wrong when I pulled the rope just now, because of the speed of the sound in the air and the pattern inside, Lao Jiu's It was difficult to get the sound out, so he used the rope to convey his thoughts at the beginning. If the first stroke was normal, then it was a bit abnormal later, but the opponent's attack speed was obviously very fast, and he cut the rope immediately, not to be tolerated by the old nine. There is a chance of resistance.

I looked around again, and my heart suddenly became clear: "Lao Jiu is fine."

"How do you know?" Munro asked excitedly.

"Look, the opponent's attack is very fast. If you want to kill Lao Jiu, you can just kill him with a single knife. Why take the whole person away?" I said, "Check it out, there is a little blood around it?"

Qiao Mo agreed with what I said, and immediately started searching here. After searching, she breathed a sigh of relief: "There is no trace of blood left, Meng Luo, Lin Tianyi is right, if you want to kill someone, you have to take it The upper hand, there is no need to go through a lot of trouble, so the other party has captured Lao Jiu."

"This is a bit interesting." I said, "Seventh Sister and the others are obviously in worse condition. If they didn't feel that the other party wanted to put them to death, they wouldn't send out a distress signal to push Seventh Sister and the others to this level. ..."

"It's not a group of people." Qiao Mo said: "The people who pose a threat to Seventh Sister and the others are not the same group of people who took Lao Jiu away. There are more than one group of people in this site. I don't know which group that Boss Huang is from?"

I took out my mobile phone, and sure enough, there was no signal. Boss Huang had no stains before. He was just an ordinary jade merchant. There are only two possibilities for why he helped someone deliver things to us. One is that someone asked him for help. The second is that he was threatened by some kind and had to do so, but Tao Ran and I mentioned how we knew about Seventh Sister’s distress signal. With her intelligence, she would definitely suspect Lao Huang. Thinking of this, I am inexplicably relieved, this feeling of mutual trust is really fucking good...

"Lin Tianyi, what should we do now?" Qiao Mo's question pulled me back from contemplation to reality.

I suddenly became their backbone, looking at the two faces younger than me, I let out a long sigh of relief, and my eyes fell on the little thing in Qiao Mo's arms: "We can only rely on it now, it is very important to this place. The environment must be very familiar."

Qiao Mo nodded, and immediately patted the little thing in her arms and said, "Let's make a deal, you guide us, as long as you help us find a companion, we will let you go."

The little thing raised its head, its eyes sparkled, it understood and understood our intentions, it is now in deep thought, I added: "You are a wise guy, trading, in the human world this kind of thing is called For the sake of the transaction, everyone gets their own income, which is a good deal."

My current behavior is a bit funny, I regard this little thing as an equal to me, but think about it carefully, if all things have spirits, for them with intelligence, they are equal to us, the little thing looks at me , looking at Qiao Mo again, with a very touched look, it finally nodded affirmatively, Munro was not surprised, just said: "Put it down."

Qiao Mo put the little thing on the ground, untied the rope that tied the legs at the back, and tied it around its neck in reverse, the little thing immediately stared at Qiao Mo excitedly, Qiao Mo said: "Since I treat you like a human , People are cunning, if you run away, our friend may die, sorry, this is the only way to go now."

Qiao Mo's tone was very sincere, the little thing looked at Qiao Mo, his eyes were covered with a layer of mist, Meng Luo and I looked at each other, and we really agreed with that sentence, everything has love, and emotions are always the same features.

After the little thing fell to the ground, it led us into the caves on the left. At first, the caves were small, and we could barely stand upright. Later, the caves we got into got bigger and bigger, which reminded me of I played the box-in-box game, where a small box is placed inside a big box, but here it is looser, one ring is one ring, and I found that the road that the small things lead is actually going up all the way, and there is a slope...

"Lin Tianyi, have you noticed?" Qiao Mo suddenly walked up to me and whispered, "We are actually walking up that white strip of plants, and the water under that strip of plants is particularly abundant, and we The caves I pass through now are all wet on top of my head.”

As she was talking, there were drops of water falling, Qiao Mo's ability finally emerged, I nodded: "That's right, and the guy who has never left a trace has also left a trace."

Munro finally couldn't take it anymore: "What are you talking about?"

"Look carefully at your feet." I said, "Because there are water droplets falling down here, there are footprints left."

I hit the headlight on the ground, and there was half a clear footprint on the ground. Unlike the shoe prints we usually see, this footprint is smooth and has horizontal veins. Munro said: "It's straw sandals. "

That's right, it is straw sandals. The footprints left by straw sandals are a bit like flat feet. Straw sandals have been worn by people from primitive humans to the present.The weaving materials of straw sandals are various, including straw, wheat straw, corn stalk, ulagrass in the Northeast, shoes with ropes, and slippers.Straw sandals are traditional labor shoes in mountainous areas of China. They are widely worn and have become a habit.No matter men, women, old or young, people who work in the fields, go up the mountain to cut firewood, log, gather medicine, hunt, etc., wear straw sandals regardless of rain or shine.

It is inconvenient for us to walk in the mountains wearing straw sandals, but for people who are used to wearing straw sandals, it is like walking on flat ground, and the straw sandals are relatively light, and it is difficult to leave a clear mark unless the weight of the sandals reaches a certain level , if this person is carrying the old nine, it means that the same pair of shoes bears the weight of two people. After the gravity increases, the footprints left by the footprints on the water are more obvious. This footprint gave us a shot in the arm. The little things didn't lie to us.

Qiao Mo touched the little thing's head: "Hurry up, we will find Lao Jiu, and you will be free again."

The little thing shrank back a little, as if he was a little bit repelled by Qiao Mo's physical contact, but he gradually got used to it. Looking at Qiao Mo again, he no longer had the original hostility, as if this little thing made him fall into a trap Nothing happened, the cave is getting bigger and bigger, and the composition inside is also becoming more complicated. At first, it was just some simple stone walls. Later, there are more plants here, and some creepers are distributed on the wall, and then go up , There are more and more creepers, almost covering the entire wall!
