The Most Thrilling Tomb Tour: Tomb Raider

Chapter 35
Everyone climbed to the entrance of the cave in astonishment, only to see that it was dark inside, and there was the sound of whining wind in our ears from time to time. We looked at each other and walked in.

The cave is also very large and deep, and the light from the headlamp can only illuminate a small area.In the faint light, we found paintings on the red rock walls in the cave.

Most of these petroglyphs are about hunting, dancing, and sacrifices. The roughness of the painting and the crudeness of the paint are exactly the same as those in the tomb below.But judging from the pigments and techniques, it seems that the rock paintings here are older than the tomb below. Judging from the content, the owner of the tomb should be the leader here. Unfortunately, his tomb has been stolen, otherwise we should know More is.

The more we walked into the hole, the more stench came out. We took out the glutinous incense beads and stuffed them into our nostrils, which made us feel better.Everyone looked at the petroglyphs on the surrounding walls while walking, only to find that these petroglyphs were not drawn by one person, but by many people in different periods. The lines are thick and thin, and the colors are thick and light. Hieroglyphs have been developed, and there are signs of evolution to writing.

Some paintings depict a group of people hunting around a group of yaks. I thought that the people on the rock paintings here should also have bird heads and human bodies, but I didn't expect that they were no different from ordinary people.

Just as we were walking and looking at both sides, we suddenly heard a muffled thunder coming into the cave from outside, as if it exploded right next to our ears, and the sky outside became cloudy in no time. Changes are as incomprehensible as the bones of the wild beasts on the ground.

When I looked out of the cave, a thunderbolt flashed by, and my peripheral vision suddenly caught something, a person to be exact.

I looked intently, and saw a distance behind us, leaning against the rock wall, stood a hunched woman with disheveled hair, who seemed to be wearing a dark red dress, with long hair hanging down to cover her face.

"Who is that?" I pulled Zhao Dadou who was walking in front.

"Huh?" Everyone turned around and asked questions in unison: "Hey! Who are you?!" The fat man called out to the woman.

But the woman didn't speak, she was still standing there with her waist bowed and her hands drooping forward. I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Did this woman come in after us?No, this is a peak with an altitude of more than 5000 meters in the so-called "savage ditch". What is a weak woman doing up here?Is this a human or a ghost?

"Hey! Are you a human or a ghost?!" I yelled at the woman, "If you don't speak, I'll shoot you!" I wanted to scare her.

"No, let's go over and have a look." Xiang Ru said worriedly, I saw her take out the chicken blood in the bag while talking, and I understood a little bit in my heart.

As soon as everyone stepped forward, the woman suddenly disappeared before our eyes!I felt chills down my spine, and looked around with everyone, but there was nothing around except the petroglyphs on the red rock walls.

"I think there are some weird things in this cave. Let's be careful." I turned around and said to everyone, and then walked in with doubts, but the woman in red seemed to have evaporated and never came out again. .

The further you go, the darker it gets. Years of snow and ice make the air in this cave very dry. Suddenly, you come to a huge cave. There is a wheel-sized pit in the middle, but it is not deep. There are some small pits.

Xiangru and I walked over to have a look at these pits, and there were some ashes and burnt bones inside. It seemed that these pits should be the firepit of this tribe, usually used for cooking and warming.

There is a stone table and some stone benches in front of the big fire pit. The carving technique is also very simple, and there is no trace of polishing on the rough surface.

Right in front of the cave is a rock wall, on which are painted with thick strokes two huge people with bird heads and human bodies. From their physical features, it can be seen that they are a man and a woman, facing each other in the posture of about to embrace standing.

All this shows that this cave and the tomb passage at the bottom of the mountain belong to the same tribe. It seems that we have found the right place. The key to unlocking the secrets of the Danzhucuo and Loulan underground dynasties thousands of years ago may be in this cave.

There are two passages on both sides of the cave. We looked at each other and decided which passage to take.Suddenly there was another thunder outside, and at the same time as the rumbling thunder reached our ears, we suddenly found that there were people standing under the rock walls around the entire cave!
These people were all wearing aprons made of animal skins, unkempt, standing around with knives, axes and shields in their hands, surrounding us in the center.

Looking at this posture, I instinctively pulled out my guns with Fatty and the others, and aimed back to back at these guys who didn't know if they were people or ghosts in all directions.

"Look behind you!" Xiang Ru shouted beside me.

I turned my head and saw that I almost didn't scream. There was a burly "bird man" sitting behind the stone table behind me. The mask on this guy's head was almost the same as that of the old zongzi from the Loulan underground dynasty we had seen. The golden mask is exactly the same, the difference is that this mask is longer than that mask, and there is a neck guard made of golden feathers attached to it.

This guy is looking at us with the weird eyes on the mask, holding a wine glass made of jade in his hand, which reminds me of the allusion of the ancients "throwing a glass for a sign", and I am watching his every move. .

But we held our guns up and confronted each other for a long time, neither of us dared to act rashly, the sweat dripped from our foreheads, but the opponent's actions didn't change at all.

I couldn't help being suspicious, and I slapped the fat man on the side. The fat man understood, and yelled at this guy: "Hey! I said! Are you still drinking that wine? Don't just hold it! If you don't drink it, give the fat man a sip." , Fatty's mouth is dry!"

I was almost pissed off by the fat man, so I asked this guy to scare him, who told you to ask him for a drink?

But this burly guy still sat there motionless, as if he had been stabbed there.

"Grandpa, I said we should go with the 36 plan?" Zhao Dadou asked nervously.

But I felt something was wrong, pointed a gun at that guy's head, walked up to him little by little, and touched the golden wine glass in his hand with my hand, but it was empty!
Seeing this, everyone looked at me in a daze, and cautiously went to the surrounding soldiers to touch them with their hands, but they all missed.

Suddenly there was another thunderbolt outside, and these people, like the woman in red before, disappeared without a trace before our eyes.

"What the hell!" I cursed, and everyone was completely at a loss, standing there looking at each other, thinking about this weird scene.

"You're right!" Xiang Ru suddenly exclaimed: "I see, this is a holographic image recorded by the earth's magnetic field. I discovered from the very beginning that the rocks in this cave are all red. It turns out that they all contain iron. Iron ore. After those few thunderbolts just now, the image of the person who was adsorbed on this iron ore is now released under the same conditions of the earth's magnetic field, just like hell!"

Only then did we suddenly realize, no wonder the woman in red disappeared without a trace in front of our eyes just now, but I was a little skeptical, because after all, I have never seen such a strange thing before, this cave is really fucking evil.

Everyone decided to split up and enter through two passages, Xiangru and I were in the same group, Fatty and Zhao Dadou were in the same group.But I am very worried about the reckless fat man, and I am always afraid that he will cause some trouble.Zhao Dadou seemed to see what I was thinking, so he simply asked Xiang Ru to be with him, and the fat man with me, and we agreed without thinking twice.

Fatty and I went in from the passage on the right, which has a man-made stone ladder, winding and going upwards.The more I walked, the more I felt something was wrong. Since I came into this cave, I have not felt comfortable all over my body. Either I feel dizzy or my skin is itchy. Could it be because I didn’t eat in the morning?
I saw the fat man scratching all over his body while walking, so I asked, "Why are you itching too?"

"Hi! Don't mention it. Ever since I entered this hole, I haven't felt comfortable on my body. It's either itchy or painful. Hey! Can you help me see if I have got lice?" The fat man lifted up his clothes and showed his back for me to see. .

I took a careful look with the headlamp, and there were no lice or fleas in the crevices of the clothes, but there were blood-red handprints on the back of the fat man, as if someone had scratched his back fiercely Same thing.

"What are you looking at? Did you find any lice?" The fat man asked me when he saw that I hadn't spoken for a while.

"It's nothing, did someone grab your back just now?" I asked as I put down the fat man's clothes.

"No! The person who dared to grab Fatty's back hasn't been born yet, right? Isn't Tai Sui breaking ground and pulling teeth out of the tiger's mouth?" The fat man looked at me suspiciously.

That's right, don't look at the fat man who looks like a cube. According to him, he learned judo in an orphanage for a long time when he was a child, and he is still a black belt. of.

The fat man urged me again and again, telling me to go quickly and grab something valuable before Zhao Dadou.I thought so too, half of the purpose of coming here is for those artifacts, so I quickened my pace and ran up with the fat man.

We found several caves one after another on both sides of the passage, with traces of people living in them, and some well-preserved animal skins and bones. It seems that this tribe has become a slavery society in China thousands of years ago. When it evolved into a feudal society, it still lived a caveman's life, but the production skills of some handicrafts really surprised us.

Fatty and I didn't dare to stop, our footsteps echoed in the empty passage, but I vaguely heard the footsteps of a third person, is it Zhao Dadou or Xiang Ru?I looked back, and there was a dark passage below, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

"Let's go, what are you looking at?" the fat man shouted from above.

"Did you hear anything?" I asked looking up.
