Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 308 Mysterious Man

As I said before, there are three most common reasons why zongzi will rise up. One is that the last breath before death is not exhaled. , received earth qi, these three situations are all impacted by qi, and the qi gathers in the throat. If you want to subdue the zongzi, you have to behead or cut your throat to release the air.

But Xiao Jing does not belong to these two situations. She is a corpse controlled by evil gods. I am not sure whether the general method of dealing with zongzi will work for her, so I decided to try everything I know.One is the upper dantian, which is known as the place where the soul gathers, which is the center of the eyebrows, the second is the neck, and the third is the soles of the feet.

People are born on the ground, and the soles of the feet are where the human spirit and the earth's energy meet. Piercing the soles of the feet can block the influx of the earth's energy.I wanted to set it on fire, but what if Xiao Jing woke up halfway? , Moreover, burning alive, the method is too vicious, so let it go.I was holding the dagger, and when I was about to stab it, Xiao Jing suddenly opened her eyes, with a venomous expression on her face, she reached out and grabbed my wrist fiercely, and said sinisterly, "If you want to kill me, don't even think about it!" , fingernails skyrocketed.

Damn, did this woman just pretend?What is she doing to test me?
Xiao Jing was so powerful at the moment, she grabbed my wrist holding the dagger with one hand, making me unable to move for a while, and at the same time, her other hand thrust towards me fiercely, grabbing the head of the hole like Mei Chaofeng. Same, coming straight to my face.I was terrified, and fell down in a hurry, avoiding the sharp hand, and my whole face was naturally pressed against Xiao Jing's chest.

The chest was very soft, soft to the point of being like mud, and the stench penetrated into the tip of the nose, making people nauseous. In the nick of time, I shouted: "Don't you want to find the corpse lamp?"

Xiao Jing's attacking hand paused again, the dead flesh on her face twitched, and she said sinisterly, "I'll kill you and find the corpse lamp."

I said: "I said, once I am resurrected, I will definitely stop you."

Xiao Jing said viciously: "You are not the only messenger, you have no chance of being resurrected, I will tear you...to pieces, Chen Xuan, go to hell!" I don't know that Xiao Jing was fine before, why suddenly I pretended to be dizzy to deceive me, but at this moment, I had already pulled out another dagger in my left hand, and slashed at her grabbing hand, directly cutting off a finger.Fortunately, she is not a zombie with copper skin and iron bones, otherwise I really can't do anything about her.

She also seemed to feel pain when she cut it, but the pain probably wasn't strong, and she grabbed it again after a slight pause. I also knew that if her pain was the same as that of a normal person, how could everyone bear the pain of rotting .In a blink of an eye, the sharp claws came to the front door, I didn't react in time, and said in my heart: My life is over.

At this critical juncture, there was a sudden sound of trampling behind me, as if something was approaching me from behind, but the sound was not quite like the footsteps of people or animals.Following the sound, Xiao Jing's movements suddenly stopped.At this moment, her nails are almost touching my eyelids, and if I push harder, they will be inserted directly.

Although the pause between life and death was only a short moment, the terrified person felt weak all over and his legs began to shake.Immediately afterwards, I found that Xiao Jing's eyes were staring directly behind me, and her hands were slowly retracted. At the same time, the sound of stomping still did not stop, and she was getting closer to me.

I saw a fearful emotion in Xiao Jing's eyes. There are really not many things that can make a dead person fearful. What is it that is approaching behind me?Xiao Jing chased a 'person' just now, and her personality changed drastically, and now something suddenly appeared that made her show fear, could it be that the 'person' she was chasing just now was the one approaching behind me?
I knew in my heart that it must not be a good thing, taking advantage of the moment when Xiao Jing was afraid to shrink back, I suddenly dodged to the side, turned my head and saw that the headlight was shining straight out.

As far as the eye can see, there is nothing but emptiness.

But at the junction of light and darkness, there is a tall man standing vaguely, very tall, even bigger than the men in the northeast area in my impression, but the specific image is not clear, but I can be sure that he is not Zhuanrui, It's not Zhong Gong, let alone tofu.If I climbed two more steps forward and the light drew closer, I should be able to see his appearance, but at this moment, Xiao Jing let out a terrified scream, and suddenly backed away, her body was like a gecko, backing away quickly , and ran out of my sight in an instant.

All these changes happened in this moment, and for a moment, only me and the burly man in the dark were left in the borrowed waterway.

My heart was pounding, I held the dagger in my left hand, touched the equipment bag with my right hand, and prepared to take out the shovel inserted outside.This thing is sharp and heavy, a deadly weapon.

Just as I was doing this action, I saw that burly man turned around in the darkness, and then the sound of tumbling was heard again, and he left.I was stunned for a moment, even though I had a lot of experience in these years, I couldn't help being confused.

How is this going?

Who is this?Why in this thousand-year-old tomb?Why is Xiao Jing afraid of him?

He appeared suddenly, and now he left suddenly. Could it be that he came here to scare Xiao Jing?

Does he have a grudge against Xiao Jing?

These thoughts turned around in my mind a few times, and amidst the sound of treading, the black shadow gradually moved towards the depths of the borrowed waterway.Years of experience told me that since he ignored me, I'd better not disturb him, because what can scare a dead person like Xiao Jing must be something more terrifying than Xiao Jing.

I turned my head and looked, knowing that Xiao Jing probably won't find her again in a short time. Naturally, it would be good for me if she left.Judging from the current situation, this borrowed waterway leads directly to the core part of the underground palace. Since the grandfather and his group came here, they must have entered the center of the underground palace along the borrowed waterway. Follow the trail, and enter the center of the underground palace by the way, looking for Tofu and others.

At this moment, the sound of trampling has gone away, but in the silent borrowed waterway, the sound echoed in the tomb passage, and it still sounds very clear.

I have already begun to doubt whether that burly figure is a person. If it is a person, who could it be?And why are you ignoring me?If it wasn't a human being, how could it appear so inexplicably, and how could it leave inexplicably, then this zongzi has too much personality, right?
A few thoughts flashed in my mind, and I immediately chased after that 'thing' not too far or too close. We always kept a relatively ambiguous distance. I found that whenever I wanted to take a step forward, I could see his appearance clearly. He would suddenly quicken his pace and keep us at a certain distance, which made me immediately realize: this is not a zongzi, but a thoughtful person, and he is keeping a distance from me.

Who is he?
I followed for a while, my eyes fixed on the burly voice in front of me, and I don't know how long, the figure stopped suddenly, I felt a sudden shock in my heart, and became vigilant, worried that he would make trouble.

But who knows, after he stopped, he stood motionless for half an hour.I was more patient with him, the enemy couldn't move, I couldn't move, but after another ten minutes, I couldn't stabilize, and felt that something was wrong, so I got up to 12 points and walked forward vigilantly. This time, He didn't distance himself from me anymore, and his appearance was completely exposed to the light,

When I saw it, my legs went limp in an instant, because it was not a human being, but a pair of armor!
There is a set of armor, fastened tightly, standing tall and straight, with a helmet on the head, and the inside is empty, there is no one at all.

"Hiss..." I couldn't help but take a step back, and a thought flashed in my mind: This armor is perfect!

The distance between us widened again, and we hardly dared to get close for a while. One person and one armor "looked at each other" from a distance of five or six meters. Then, I suddenly found that there was a series of bloody footprints behind the armor. Come to understand, it's not some armor becoming a spirit, but someone wearing armor just now!

And that person, during the four or ten minutes I was stupidly waiting, had already slipped away.

I was stunned by this fact. I never expected that people would play tricks under my nose. I waited foolishly for such a long time. For a while, I was both annoyed and surprised.I judged by the armor's figure before that he was a burly man, but now it seems that the other party's figure is not as strong as I imagined, and there is blood on the soles of his feet... Could it be that he was injured?
So, this person suddenly appeared in armor to save me?

But his current behavior obviously does not want me to know his identity.

Who is this person?

Following the bloody footprints, I suddenly discovered that there was a dark hole above my head, which seemed to have been blasted open by someone, and it should be the masterpiece of my grandfather.If I guessed correctly, the top of the hole should be the central area of ​​the underground palace, and the mysterious man probably climbed up the hole in the dark.
