Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 118
After finishing talking about the tofu, he gave Gu Wenmin a thumbs up and said, "I admire it, I've never seen such a strong taste, anyway, I don't eat it."

Gu Wenmin's face was also not very good-looking, and said: "This is just a suggestion."

Lu Su's smile became a bit forced, and he said, "It's not that far yet, we can think of other ways."

I said: "We want to survive, this suggestion must be followed."

Tofu was quite surprised, and said, "Why? Is this asking women to sing and husband to follow suit?"

I gave a wry smile, pointed to the abyss below, and said, "Look, the water has already risen up." Once the evil dragon died, the water calmed down, so we didn't pay attention to it before, but now I found that the water level line is silent. It is rising rapidly without interest, and it is estimated that it will completely submerge this space in less than two hours.

We must escape within two hours.

If we really need to make our own way, we must have plenty of physical strength.

Gu Wenmin has the carefulness of a woman and discovered the rising groundwater one step earlier than me, so she made this seemingly absurd opinion.

Everyone stared at the dark deep water below, speechless for a while.

Although the proposal is so, we are not so hungry that our eyes are red at the moment. If we really want to eat the meat of that evil dragon, the psychological pressure is really great.

Lu Su was exhausted after tossing and tossing, so he forced himself up and said, "I'll go up and find out while I still have strength." Climbing above our heads, the few of us stood at the entrance of the cave, looking up at Lu Su's movements closely.

In fact, that place is not too high from us, about seven or eight meters to the top, Lu Su is climbing the rock with one hand, holding a steel knife in the other hand, poking between the crevices of the piled stones, trying to find a breakthrough.Following his movements, many small stones began to fall down, but no big hole was revealed.

Due to the light, we couldn't observe too clearly. About ten minutes later, Lu Su finally started to climb down. When he came down, he was covered in sweat, his stomach was growling, and the smile on his mouth was a little self-deprecating, saying: " It seems that this road will not work.” For a while, we fell into a deadlock with no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.

Everyone was cold and hungry, and their brains became more sluggish. They kept thinking of ways to get out, but they had no clue.

As time went on, our hunger increased and we had to lean against each other for warmth because of the cold.I thought a lot in my mind, such as the reason why Gu Wenmin appeared in the coffin strangely, and how the evil dragon appeared, but none of them could help us get out of the predicament in front of us.

As time goes by, the groundwater gets deeper and deeper, and two meters away will submerge where we are now, and by then, we may not even have a place to hide.

How to do?
What should I do?
How can we escape?
I vaguely feel that the key point of the matter has a lot to do with that evil dragon.In this world, there are always many things that cannot be explained by science. If Gu Wenmin and Ren Ling appeared in the sealed coffin because of the troubles of the Liuhun Bridge, then the appearance of the evil dragon here is also caused by the Liuhun Bridge. ?

Jiao is originally a monster, so how could it be controlled by Liuhun Bridge?
Perhaps, by solving the mystery of where it came from, we can find our way out.

We were trapped in the cave, and the anxiety can be imagined. Tofu looked at the water getting higher and higher, turned around anxiously, clutched his stomach and said: "The loss is too big, the loss is too big, and I can't be full when I die. Dead ghost. By the way, Old Chen, you said that this place is a place where the phoenix bites into the water. People save their lives, and ghosts keep their souls. here……"

When it comes to Feng Shui, believe it or not, I don't know if this pattern of biting a phoenix into the water is really so evil, but if it is true, what Tofu said now is not an exaggeration at all. There is no way to leave this place even if you are a ghost.

When I thought of this, I suddenly felt cold on the soles of my feet, imagining the experience of the ghosts of us being trapped in the water, and then being company with the ghosts of the two dead people of the Ren family. I immediately felt my scalp numb and even more anxious Trying to find a way to escape.I told everyone my conjecture, thinking that the hope of survival is mainly to find out how the evil dragon appeared.

Tofu said: "According to the legend, Jiao is cultivated by snakes, and belongs to monsters that are about to transform into dragons. Monsters must know some magic, such as appearing from one place to another in an instant?"

I immediately punched him and said, "Nonsense, if it really has sorcery, can it be killed so easily by Lu Su and me? It can only be said that it is a rare species that we humans have not yet understood. "

Tofu said again: "Then we killed a rare animal this time? Those biologists will hate us to death."

I just felt that I was holding my breath in my throat, almost choked to death, and I didn't even have the mood to beat him, so I could only sigh: "Xiaodou, be good, the situation is urgent now, please straighten your brain, don't stop Are you running errands?"

Tofu sneered when he heard the words, touched his nose, and seemed to want to say something. Suddenly, he said, "Ah! I thought of it."

I said, "Shut up, no matter what you think of again, from now on, don't say a word."

Tofu became anxious when he heard the words, scratched his ears and hopped his feet and said, "No, I thought... there is still one place we haven't looked for."

I saw that Tofu didn't seem to be joking, and Suihu said, "Where is it?"

Tofu said: "When Brother Lu and I went down, we searched all the places, but we didn't see the entrance of the cave, but then I found a very strange thing..."

When he dived into the water, the dragon was motionless, but there was one thing that was strange, that is, the dragon's head showed a posture of drilling down.Tofu didn't take it seriously at the time, but now that his brain is running at full speed, he immediately thinks of a possibility: the reason why the dragon's head is in that position is that it wants to escape by burrowing into the ground?

Could the underground waterway we are looking for be suppressed by Jiaolong's dead body?
After his reminder, I also think this possibility is very high. The underground waterway is probably blocked by the huge body of Jiaolong.

After Tofu finished speaking, he saw that all of us were shocked from ear to ear, and looked very proud. It was an expression that I had made a meritorious service and hurriedly came to praise me.I resisted the urge to slap him, and said in a hoarse voice: "In the future, if you encounter such a thing, please tell us earlier... Is your IQ really okay? Forget it, I have to think about going back, is it right? I should take you to a brain doctor."

Feng Gui's face showed joy, and said: "It's not too late, let's go down quickly to confirm. Brother Chen is right, Jiaolong must not have any sorcery, otherwise it will not be killed easily. It cannot appear out of thin air. The sewer must still be under its body!" At this time, this was our only hope, and everyone didn't delay, they packed up their things and went into the water one after another, holding their breath and swimming to the bottom of the water.

Previously on the surface of the water, we only saw the head and neck of the dragon, and most of its body was underwater, so it couldn't be seen clearly.However, observing at a close distance at this moment, the hill-like body makes people feel awe.Jiaolong's eyes were already closed, and its head really made a move that wanted to drill down.We swam up to where its head meets its body and tried to push it a little bit to see if there was a hole under its body, but the thing was so big that we couldn't move it.

After trying for a long time at the bottom of the water, it was like a mayfly shaking a tree, doing nothing, and the breath in the lungs was too tight, so everyone had to float to the surface to re-discuss the countermeasures.

Don't look at Feng Gui's slippery hands, but he has a lot of crooked ideas. Seeing that there is hope for escape, he is very active, and immediately came up with an idea: anatomy.

Since we couldn't shake the dragon's corpse, we scattered its flesh and cut it up.

I objected, "That jiao skin can't be pierced by bullets, so how do you dissect it?"

Feng Gui pointed to the Ghost Crying Saber in Lu Su's hand, and said: "The fact that the bullet is not good does not mean that this knife is not good. I remember that when I was on the rock, Brother Lu inserted the entire blade into the rock with one knife. It's not a problem." When he reminded me like this, I also remembered that scene, and thought to myself, Lu Su's knife is indeed more penetrating than bullets, maybe we don't have to be that unjust ghost.

Lu Su didn't refuse, just smiled and dived into the water again, and we followed to help.The Ghost Crying Knife deserves to be called a magic weapon. Although the dragon's skin and bones were hard, it couldn't hold back the Ghost Crying Knife's slashing, and soon the minced meat of the dragon was everywhere, mixed with the blood of the dragon, and the bottom of the water was dark.

In order to increase efficiency, we took turns to work. With the hope of escape, the hunger became less unbearable for a while, and even our strength increased. This is probably the human potential. As long as we see hope, we can stimulate stronger fighting spirit.As the few of us took turns to fight, a big hole was opened in the dragon's body. Through this hole, one could see a dark underground water hole under the dragon's body.

Tofu cheered like scissors at the bottom of the water, and we didn't dare to waste any more time, let alone give a speech. A group of people floated to the surface, took a full breath, and headed towards the underground waterway.

At this time, the water is about to fill this space. We don't know how long this waterway is, let alone how long it will take to swim out, but there is no way out now. If we really drown in it, we can only I can accept my fate.

This underground waterway is very spacious, and there are no traces of man-made carvings in it. It should be the original Jiaodao, but it was artificially covered up during the construction of the "Monster Snake Bureau".Later, as soon as the Corpse Raising Bureau was destroyed, that Jiaolong didn't know if he sensed the human breath, so he swam here and broke through the blocked passage.

We didn't communicate too much underwater, everyone just swam forward, because everyone only had 3 minutes at most, if they didn't escape or drown within this time, there was only one dead end, because in such deep water Something happened, and we didn't even have the ability to do artificial respiration.

However, with the passage of time, the underground waterway still has no end in sight. I already feel uncomfortable in my lungs, and the same is true for Tofu and Gu Wenmin. Except for Feng Guishou, who is good at water, the speed of the rest It fell down involuntarily, and at the end of the light, it was still dark.

My heart sank, and I had an ominous premonition.
