Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 117
Above the abyss, there used to be the Liuhun Bridge, but at this time, there was no bridge to be seen, it was completely filled with huge rocks, and some broken stones would fall down from time to time.Lu Su turned on the light, swept it over the rocks above, hissed, and said, "No, it's completely blocked."

Tofu said: "Perhaps that evil dragon will knock down the rocks above it once more."

Gu Wenmin looked down at the water, stared at the motionless black figure, and said, "It seems to be dead."

Tofu muttered, "No way, that's a dragon. Could it be that you two killed it so easily? Then we can't get out now?" We soaked in the water, and when we calmed down, we felt cold all over. Cool, shivering.After a lot of fighting, my physical strength was already exhausted, so I could only signal everyone to find a place to rest first, and make plans later.

Due to the previous impact of the evil dragon, the mountain wall in this place was severely damaged, and there were lightning-like cracks on the rocks, and the rocks in many places collapsed, forming natural rock formations of various sizes and shapes.A few of us gritted our teeth and climbed up for a while, and found a relatively large place to rest.In this chaotic battle, most of our equipment has been lost, only Feng Guishou carried an equipment bag on his back when he ran for his life, which contained some solid fuel and emergency medicine.

Feng Gui didn't feel embarrassed at all when he got his hands. In this line of work, if you want to survive in danger, you have to have a thick skin.He made a haha, took out the medicine, and motioned for Lu Su and me to heal our wounds.Those teeth are embedded in the flesh, and you have to use tweezers to pick them out one by one, and there is no anesthetic, so let alone the taste.Fortunately, Gu Wenmin's mind was firm, and his strikes were quick and accurate, which saved me from a lot of pain. After a lot of tossing, not only was my body covered in sweat from the pain, but Gu Wenmin's forehead was also covered with fine beads of sweat.

Just as I wanted to thank her, she pursed her lips, walked to a corner with a lukewarm expression, and closed her eyes to rest herself, as if she was resting.

Now even a fool would know that she was angry, but I really couldn't figure out why she was angry.Women are so troublesome, they always like to keep things in their hearts and say nothing, let you guess, she will not admit if you guess correctly, and she will get angry if you guess wrong.Thinking about it, it was really a headache. I was exhausted physically and mentally tired, so I ignored Gu Wenmin and leaned against the rocks to rest with my eyes closed.

I only heard that Lu Su and Tofu were still chatting, discussing how to get out. Right now, the mouth of the abyss above their heads has long been blocked by a huge boulder that has fallen from the top. It is impossible to go out from above. The three discussed After half a day, I decided to start underwater.The evil dragon was originally in the cave outside, but now it can swim here, there must be some large underground water channel, we may start from this aspect.

It's just that the three of them were exhausted after all the fighting and climbing, so they discussed to get up for a nap, and then Lu Su and Tofu went into the water to investigate. Then fell asleep.

This sleep was very heavy, and I woke up from hunger. When I woke up, Lu Su was cleaning his steel knife, and solid fuel was lit next to him.Lu Su focused on wiping the treasured knife with a half-smile at the corner of his mouth. He looked very calm and didn't look like he was trapped at all. It has to be said that his psychological quality is excellent.He glanced at me, then at the dwindling flames, and said, "This is the last bit of fuel."

This place is tens of meters deep underground, and there is groundwater below, so it is extremely wet and cold, like entering a cold winter. If the fuel runs out, we will have to suffer from the cold.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Su said: "Brother Xiaodou and I went down to find out, we should be able to find the way when Jiaolong came, and then we will make plans." I had injuries to my shoulders and arms, so I sat back and enjoyed the success, and Lu Su woke up. Tofu who was still asleep, the two took their weapons and climbed down the cliff into the water, gradually heading towards the deep water.

Gu Wenmin was still sleeping, probably mentally stimulated a lot, I pushed the fuel closer to her, the dancing flames illuminated her beautiful lines flickering, and suddenly, Gu Wenmin opened her eyes , staring at me unblinkingly with dark eyes.Seeing this, Feng Guishou coughed and sat a little further away.

I felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at me with such eyes, but I heard Gu Wenmin whisper: "Is this kind of thing fun?"

"Play?" I froze for a moment and said, "I didn't play."

She got up from the ground, her figure was a little thin, she trembled, and said in a hoarse voice: "Do you know how worried I am, in case you really want to save us... I..." She sighed, His expression was very complicated, as if he wanted to say something to me, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just turned his head and stared at the fire in front of him in a daze.

She was probably thinking about something.

I finally understood why Gu Wenmin was angry. I was moved and funny at the same time, and I still had a vague feeling that I couldn't explain clearly. I couldn't help but have a thought in my heart: Is she interested in me?But when I turned my head to look at her, I found that she was obviously more interested in the bonfire in front of me, and she stopped giving me a look at all.

The three of us waited for a few minutes at the resting place, and Feng Guishou who was on the edge suddenly said: "Come up." I saw Lu Su and Tofu getting out of the water. , quickly wiped the water and put on clothes.Tofu also looked very serious. He glanced at us, sighed, and said, "That thing didn't move, it should be dead, but we touched it several times, and there is no water channel under the water at all."

Feng Guishou's expression was anxious for a moment, his eyes rolled a few times, and he suddenly said: "The dragon can't appear out of thin air, you must have missed something."

Tofu said angrily: "You don't have a place to speak, you don't believe me, you don't believe Brother Lu!"

All of us couldn't help looking at Lu Su. He is indeed a careful and cautious person. If there is a waterway for Jiao to go, even if Tofu doesn't find it carelessly, he can't miss it.I saw Lu Su shaking his head while putting on his clothes, adding seriousness and doubts to his usual smiling expression, and said: "Not really, it seems that we are in big trouble this time." As if to answer him If so, the flame of the solid fuel was already as small as a lamp bean, and then went out.

The surroundings were suddenly dark, accompanied by the darkness, and there was also a threatening chill. I shivered unconsciously, and turned on the headlight placed aside.

Tofu stared at the burnt solid fuel on the ground, with a dazed expression on his face. After a while, his stomach rumbled, and Tofu came back to his senses. He looked around and patted his stomach hard. , said in a low voice: "Be more aggressive, don't bark." Seeing his angry appearance, I couldn't help being amused, but also felt a little helpless, so I said: "Forget it, I'll go down and touch two more fish, and I'll satisfy my hunger first." Say more."

The few people in this cave, except for Lu Su and me, probably no one can catch fish in the water with bare hands. If I want to fill my stomach, I just want to be lazy.

As soon as I got up, Tofu took my hand, and motioned me to sit down, and said with a wry smile: "Don't go, if there are really fish, brother Lu just brought them up by the way. In the water, except for the jiao, there is nothing there. There's nothing left."

Lu Su nodded slightly, and said softly: "I haven't even seen a single shrimp, all the fish and shrimp have been eaten by the evil dragon."

Our group looked at each other in the cave, feeling hungry and cold at the same time, and what was even more frightening was that we couldn't find a way to get rid of the hunger and cold at all.

After a while, Feng Gui couldn't keep his hands steady, he walked around the cave anxiously, and finally said: "I'll go into the water again to have a look."

By this time, he didn't trust Lu Su anymore, and wanted to make sure by himself.We didn't stop him. After Feng Gui went into the water, he went back and forth more than ten times, and finally climbed up exhausted, staring at the rocks on the top of the cave, and said: "It's over, there is really no way. The dragon just appeared out of thin air. Here, just like she would appear in the coffin at that time." He watched Gu Wenmin say this with a distorted and hideous expression.

At this time, more than ten hours have passed since we last ate, not only the stomachs of the tofu, but also the stomachs of the rest of us are gurgling from time to time.

Gu Wenmin frowned and said: "If this continues, we will only be trapped to death, we can't sit still and wait for death."

Tofu said: "Miss Gu, you have always been very smart, can you think of a trick?"

Gu Wenmin tilted her head and said, "Now we need to do two things."

Seeing that she seemed to have made up her mind, I couldn't help but ask her which two things it was.

I just heard Gu Wenmin say: "First: We only confirmed the entrance and exit under the water just now, but we didn't confirm the entrance and exit above the head. The collapsed rocks above are not strong at all. Maybe we can find a way to find a way, so the first thing , we have to check it out on it.”

Lu Su nodded and said, "That makes sense. What about the second one?"

Gu Wenmin said: "To complete the first thing, we need a lot of physical strength, so the most urgent thing is to find something to eat. To be honest, I am already so hungry that my limbs are weak." Feng Guishou heard the words and said: "Not bad , I don’t have the strength anymore, if I keep procrastinating like this, let’s not talk about rock climbing to find the way, it’s probably difficult to walk two steps. But Miss Gu, everyone understands what you said, the problem is where to find food now.”

Gu Wenmin pursed her lips, suddenly pointed to the water below, and said, "Isn't there a big guy lying in that water?"

Tofu gasped and said, "Eat its meat? God, let me starve to death. This thing swallowed three living people not long ago! Doesn't that mean we are eating human flesh?"

I didn't expect Gu Wenmin to put forward such an opinion. Thinking of the three long-necked human heads on the lower jaw of the dragon, I felt a nausea in my stomach, where can I eat its meat.
