Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 274 Peeping
Xiao Jing had never seen Tofu get so angry before, she was stunned for a while, and didn't dare to mention what happened just now, she quietly put her arms around my arm, and said with a scared look: "Xuanxuan, what's going on now... the woods, Why are there more woods?" I was so embarrassed by her hug and softly called, so I tried to pull my arm out calmly, but I was hugged even tighter by her. , I suddenly felt something was wrong, why did Xiao Jing's belly get bigger?
She doesn't have a small belly, her abdomen is smooth and flat, and her skin is maintained like silk... Wait, it seems to be thinking too far.

Suddenly touching her swollen belly, I couldn't help being puzzled. When I looked down, I suddenly found that there was something fluffy stuck to her belly. Xiao Jing probably didn't notice it herself, so she followed my gaze and looked down. A scream of fright.With this cry, the yellow ball suddenly raised its face, and the moment I saw it, I suddenly felt a familiar feeling.

It was a face that was thinner and thinner than that of a fox, with narrow and long eyes that glowed with green light. The familiarity flashed in my mind, and in an instant I remembered the painting that Gu Wenmin gave me back then. The painting drawn by the surviving members of the archaeological team is this face!These thoughts are only for a moment, the thing raised its face, and my gaze involuntarily bumped into its gloomy sight. It is daytime now, but as soon as I touched its pair of green eyes, I just felt a wave of pain all over my body. Cold, that is a dangerous and weird intuition.

At this moment, the thing suddenly broke away from Xiao Jing's lower abdomen, rushed into the nearby tree with a whoosh, and climbed up along the tree trunk.I don't know well, this thing is weird, and it's probably related to the weird changes in the forest, so I can't just let it run away, and immediately shouted, "Shoot!"

The rest of the people reacted very quickly, and in an instant, several guns shot upwards in unison. Even if that thing slipped so fast, it also suffered under our strong firepower, leaving a bloody mark on the tree, and ran away. He disappeared without a trace, and it looked like he was shot.

Xiao Jing paled in fright, clutched her lower abdomen, and said, "What is that?"

I said: "Like a fox, and like a weasel, who knows what it is." I stared at the place where the thing disappeared and searched carefully. At this moment, Gu Wenmin, who had been far away from me, came to me calmly. Reach out and touch my waist.I was taken aback for a moment, and when I met her gaze, I saw her wink calmly towards the right side.

I realized in my heart that she probably found something, so I also sneaked a look, and at this glance, I suddenly saw a few drops of blood on the ground not far to the right.

All of a sudden, I realized that the thing was injured. Although it was hiding in the tree, bloodstains would inevitably drip down. As long as I followed the bloodstains, I would not worry about not being able to find it.Immediately, everyone chased down the bloodstain, and they reached the bottom after a while, only to see the bloodstain staying under a big tree.I looked up, and suddenly, among the dense leaves, I saw a face with an iron mask!
The man was obviously spying on us, but he didn't expect to be discovered. Although he couldn't see his expression clearly, we could tell from the way he immediately hid his face that this man was probably very surprised and planned to run away.Although I was puzzled in my heart, I followed the yellow-haired animal, why didn't the animal see it, but saw a person?

Could it be that the thing became a spirit and became a human?

Although I have seen a weasel become a spirit in that Yinyang Liubu village, such things are rare after all, how can I meet such a spirit again by such a coincidence.Thinking this way, he immediately raised his gun and shot. No matter how fast that person moved, once we locked the position, how could he pass our gun? He heard a muffled groan in an instant, and then the shadow of the tree swayed on the treetop. The person who was originally very good in the shadow was probably injured and his movements were not flexible, so his figure was faintly revealed, which made it easier for us to chase after him.

Gu Wenmin's marksmanship was extremely accurate, and she fired three shots in a row, each shot hit exactly where the man wanted to advance, and then she said: "Come down, if you resist again, I will kill you on the spot. "

When the man saw such accurate marksmanship, he must have been startled. He stopped abruptly and lay motionless on the top of the tree, but he didn't come down either.

We didn't shoot rashly either, because since this person would appear in this kind of place, there must be some reason. He probably has something to do with the Yashan Palace, and we have to catch someone and interrogate him carefully.

After Gu Wenmin finished speaking, the man didn't say a word, just snorted coldly, and suddenly threw something down.

Tofu was shocked and shouted: "No, it's a bomb!"

Everyone ran away in fright, I ran a few steps, and came to meet: Damn, who is okay with a bomb?Besides, the thing thrown down just now is quite big, it doesn't look like a bomb, does it?Thinking of this, I knew it was Tofu's frightening nonsense, and I couldn't help but get angry. Turning my head, I saw that what the man threw down was the yellow-haired thing with several blood holes on its body.Seems to have died.

My heart moved, and I thought: Is this thing raised by the person above?
But at this moment, taking advantage of the chaos, the man had already gone somewhere.He was injured, and the bloodstains could not be covered up. We followed the clues, observed the bloodstains among the leaves, and gradually walked into the depths of the forest.The forest in this place is not considered dense, it probably has something to do with the quality of the soil. We walked along the dripping blood for a while, and suddenly, the blood disappeared not far ahead.

The place where the bloodstains disappeared was a big tree with a strange shape. The crown was relatively short, the tree body was twisted, and the branches stretched horizontally, like several big snakes entangled in one place. A simple tree house.

Tofu snorted and said, "So there's another house here, could that person live in it?" After that, I was about to rush over, and I quickly grabbed Tofu and said, "Don't be impulsive, beware of traps. "I've always been more cautious. After stopping the tofu, I glanced around, then pulled out a stone the size of a basketball from the soil on one side, and rolled it along the land in front of me.

Seeing my action, Tofu said contemptuously, "Look at how cowardly you are." His temper came and went quickly, and it seemed that the unhappiness he had with Xiao Jing before had disappeared.Although I was surprised by Tofu's reaction at the time, but in this world, no one has a secret. If Tofu doesn't talk about it, I don't need to inquire about it.

Closer to home, I said that the stone was uneven, but under my push, it also rolled away for a certain distance, but at this time, there was a sound of swishing in the forest, and a large piece of the ground where the stone rolled suddenly sank, revealing A huge circular pit.Tofu was stunned, took a breath, and said, "I take back what I just said, Lao Chen, you are not cowardly at all, you are the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang!"

The tree house suddenly appeared in front of the eyes, and the bloodstains disappeared in front of the tree house. Anyone with a little brain will be vigilant. It has nothing to do with Zhuge Liang, and only the impulsive character of Tofu dares to act rashly Move forward.I shook my head, ignored the tofu who was still flattering me, stepped forward to take a look, and saw countless sharp bamboo thorns sticking out of the big pit. If we got here just now, we would definitely fall Entering the pit, he was pierced by these bamboo thorns.

Zhuanji was furious immediately, pulled out his gun and said, "I'll go up and see what he can do." The young man was impatient, and he climbed up the tree without waiting for us to speak.The trunk of this tree is curved, making it very easy to climb. Within 2 minutes, Zhuan Ji reached the tree, with a gun in one hand, half of his body got into the tree house.

The next second, Zhuanji pulled his body out suddenly, and shouted at us: "We found it, this man was injured and passed out."

Tofu answered immediately: "Then what are you waiting for, quickly get him down and ask him why he came here."

Zhuanji said, "No, there is something inside besides him."

Not to mention Tofu, even I was in a hurry. This kid was half-talking, and the listeners were anxious to get angry, so they listened to Tofu jumping and saying: "What is it? Can you explain it clearly once?"

Zhuanji said: "It's exactly the same as the thing that died just now, and it's standing beside that person."

I was startled, that animal might be considered nothing by ordinary people, but I have had close contact with it, and that thing is weird and not a good thing.Here, Tofu said that Zhuanji was a rat, afraid of even a fox, Zhuanji blushed and couldn't tell, I knew what he was afraid of, probably because he was bluffed by that weird thing.

Stimulated by the tofu, Zhuanji plunged in again for the sake of saving face. Not long after we entered, we heard a strange sound, as if someone was talking to each other.

Did the comatose person wake up?Could it be that Zhuanji was talking to him?
We looked at each other, not understanding what was going on for a while.Zhuan Rui listened intently for a while, then his handsome face suddenly changed color, and said in a deep voice, "He's talking to himself."

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter from the tree house, and then, a hoarse voice suddenly said: "I have caught this kid, if you want him to live, put down your weapons." My first It was impossible to react. Although Zhuanji was young and impulsive, he was a member of the Zhuan family. He had received professional training since he was a child, and his skills were extraordinary. How could he be subdued all at once?
Tofu was startled, and said in a low voice, "Could it be that the man just pretended to be dizzy and lured the Chihuahua into the bait?"

Say it now, isn't this nonsense?
I carefully distinguished the voice and found that the speaker must have deliberately suppressed his own voice, so it seemed rough and hard to distinguish.Thinking of his mask and the deliberately distorted voice now, I am even more sure of my previous guess that the person wearing the mask must be someone we know.
