Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 374 coma
The appearance of this stele seemed to be a letter of challenge from the king, which made people feel very uncertain for a while.Mengmeng was so bold that he snorted and said, "How powerful is an ancient man from more than 1000 years ago? Are you frightened now? You said he was a first-class expert." What Su said, I found that she might be interested in Lu Su, and she always found trouble along the way.Lu Su maintained his usual good temper, smiled at Mengmeng's provocation, and said slowly: "Don't forget, the place we are now was created by this ancient man more than 1000 years ago."

Mengmeng was at a loss for words for a while, snorted, tossed her neat short hair, and walked forward, leaving our group of people behind.

Everyone continued to walk along this artificial ice road, our shadows were reflected in the surrounding ice cones, flickering with the lights, like ghosts.At this moment, Mengmeng suddenly stopped in front of him, as if he had discovered something.

Due to the narrow ice passage, everyone marched in a straight line, with limited vision, so they couldn't see clearly what was going on in front of them for a while.Following Mengmeng was Lu Su, and he asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Mengmeng turned her head in surprise and said, "Mr. Wu."

Mr. Wu?dumb?

Is the dumb in front?
She didn't continue to speak, but turned sideways to reveal the vision ahead. In an instant, I saw the situation in front of me clearly, and I couldn't help being stunned for a while.As expected, there was a dumb person in front of him, but he was hugging his knees, leaning against a pile of ice picks, under the light, his figure was almost covered by the ice picks, only his face was clearly exposed, his eyes were closed tightly, and he didn’t know what to do. It is dead or alive.

Mengmeng's reaction was fast enough, she immediately called the mute's name while stretching out her hand to feel for his pulse, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm still alive, I seem to have passed out." I don't even believe that tofu is beaten to death. Is there anything that can make a dumb person faint?

At this moment, the mute suddenly said something nervous: "Don't go over..." Everyone had already gathered in front of the mute, and Lu Su and I worked together to move him out of the ice pick.He opened his mouth.Tofu said happily, "It's awake. Boss Wu. What's the matter?" He lightly shook the mute's shoulders, but the mute still didn't open his eyes, and he didn't speak again.

Mengmeng said helplessly: "He should have been talking in his sleep just now."

daydream?

Is the mute dreaming?
Hearing this, Tofu knelt down and said to the mute: "Brother, you can't do this. We are so worried about you and we rushed down in a hurry. How can you sleep? Wake up, wake up quickly." Looking at the mute's face, seeing that the mute hadn't woken up yet, he simply hugged the mute's head and kept shaking it.

Lu Su couldn't stand it any longer, he hurriedly stopped Tofu, saying don't bother, the dumb must have something wrong, it's not as simple as sleeping, the place is narrow, first move the person to an open place.So I put the mute on my back, and everyone walked forward quickly. At the same time, the vigilance was also raised to a high level, because the place where the mute can be tricked must not be taken lightly.

After a while, the ice road came to an end, and there was also a small puddle of unfreezing water at the end, only about [-] centimeters deep, extremely clear.On the ice wall on the side of the water, there is a very strange thing.It was carved out of the ice wall as a whole, and the rings are nested together from all directions, forming a honeycomb-like structure.I put the dumb on my back and let him lie on the ground.

I tried to pinch him, but he didn't wake up.Mengmeng told us not to bother, just stay and let her, a professional, come.Immediately afterwards, they began to examine the mute, and the results of the examination showed no external injuries or internal injuries.The reason why the dumb fell asleep became a mystery for a while.Mengmeng did not give up, and continued to torment him, giving him water for a while, massage for a while, and finally a suffocation wake-up method, that is, choking the mute's neck, pointing to make the mute's face turn red, and he did not wake up.

Seeing that she was still tossing, I took a flashlight and looked around.Because this place is transformed by glacial caves, it is different from what we have seen before.For example, everything here is made of black ice, and so far there is no such thing as wood or stone.However, from the perspective of possessing Shinto, in terms of large structures, it is still following the rules of tombs.

Since it is a glacial cave, the structure of Puzhen’s tomb should be larger than we imagined before, and there may be many vacant places, and most of the glacial caves will form many complex and interlaced spider-web-shaped pipes, so it is very It's easy to get lost in it.

Now, I can only hope that this glacier cave can be smaller, otherwise it will be complicated.

Unknowingly, I walked under that strange ice wall sculpture, stood under this bird's nest, and when the lights were turned up, a strange scene suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.I saw the light passing through the interlocking ice rings. In an instant, the entire bird's nest became like a small sun. In an instant, the entire underground heavenly palace was lit up. Standing below, I couldn't even open my eyes. a feeling of.Only then did I discover that in the depths of the ice ring, there are many small disks with a diameter of less than five centimeters, and there are wicks inside. It is obviously a huge ice lamp formed by the refraction of the light source!

To transform this karst cave into such a shape cannot be completed in a month or two. In this way, a large number of light sources are needed under the glacier, and this design can infinitely expand the light of an oil lamp.

I can almost imagine that the ancients more than 1000 years ago, relying on this fuel-efficient huge ice lamp, worked in the snow hawthorn for many months.

With the expansion of the light, the whole picture of the glacier ancient tomb clearly appeared in front of our eyes.

The left side of the ancient tomb is full of huge ice cones, which are much larger than the one on the right. It is estimated that the right side should have been processed, so there is nothing too big left. On the ground, there are different shapes, large and small. The ice-free water is arranged irregularly in the east and west.We are now in an open space, but if we walk another ten meters, we will enter the range of unfreezing water, and we can only move forward in the narrow passage formed by unfreezing water.

I turned on a small searchlight, put it in the ring inside the ice sculpture, let it continue to shine, and returned to the original place.

Mengmeng was finally at the end of his skills, with a discouraged look on his face, he said: "I can't figure it out, what should I do?"

Before I could speak, the mute suddenly started talking in his sleep again, this time he said: "Get out of here." When everyone suddenly heard this voice, they couldn't help but startled, could it be that the mute could hear us?Could it be that he is conscious now?
However, Tofu also chatted with him for a long time before, but he didn't speak, did he?Feeling suspicious, I immediately squatted down and said in a deep voice, "Get out of here... Did you say this to us?" If he said yes, then our guess would have come true, but after I finished asking, The mute still didn't speak, as if what he just said was just a coincidental dream.

Things are a little weird.

What happened to the mute during the three 10 minutes he left us?What is it that can make him look like this?Now, everything in this place is clearly displayed in front of our eyes, there is no danger, not even the authorities can see it, a large group of us have not encountered any dangerous situation until now.

I couldn't help but think of the content on the Xuanbing tablet again, and I felt a bad feeling in my heart.Subconsciously, I looked at my watch and found that it had been 10 minutes since we came in. The dumb man was leaving, and it took 10 minutes before we met him. The error of 10 minutes in the middle, is it possible? Is it the key reason for the mute's bizarre coma?
So I called Lu Su aside and told him my thoughts.After listening to my thoughts, Lu Su also looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "Do you think there may be danger in the remaining 10 minutes?"

I said, "This is my intuition."

Lu Su narrowed his eyes, and suddenly said, "I trust your intuition."

I was very surprised, but I liked him a little more, and asked, "Then what do you think now?"

Lu Su looked at the mute and said, "Wait."

"Wait?" Tofu heard our conversation, leaned over and said, "After thinking about it together for a long time, you came up with such a bad idea." Lu Su smiled slightly, and said, "What can we do if we don't wait? Could it be that we failed and left? I have never been intimidated by any fight." He said this calmly, but with a certain momentum, he sat cross-legged after he finished speaking, drew out the long knife on his back and laid it across his lap, looking like he was waiting for a duel. appearance.

I am also not afraid of things by nature, and I seldom give up lightly when I do things. Seeing that Lu Su has no scruples, I sat next to the mute.Feng Guishou came over at this time and said: "It seems that I won't be of much use this time, this place is not suitable for burying organs."

I said: "You will be useful in a while." Feng Guishou raised his eyebrows, seeing that Lu Su and I looked like we were facing a big enemy, he seemed to have thought of something, and frowned.At this moment, time becomes very slow, the second hand is walking slowly, watching its rhythm, there will be a kind of hypnotic effect, which makes people relax subconsciously, so I shifted my eyes and stared at the ice road when I came, the dumb man was The one who fainted inside, then, could it be that there is something wrong with the ice passage?
Unexpectedly, just as I turned my eyes away, I suddenly saw a black shadow passing by in the ice pick.

Someone is inside!
I stood up in shock, pulled out my dagger, greeted everyone, and chased towards the ice road.
