Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 400 Betrayal
When I looked at the woman carefully, I saw that she was squinting at the head in her hand. The carving was not exquisite, but it was weird, especially the eyes, which gave people a vivid feeling, and I felt uncomfortable for a while.I turned my gaze to the other statues in the freeze, all of them behaving strangely, as if performing some kind of ritual.

And at this moment, I suddenly saw a black thing protruding from behind one of the ice sculptures, which was a piece of cloth!
My heart skipped a beat, and I winked at Tofu. Tofu followed my gaze, and his face changed. The two of us didn't say much. We pulled out our weapons, and surrounded the ice sculpture with our own hands and feet. past.

There must be someone behind the ice sculpture!

Seeing that Tofu and I were approaching, the corner of the clothes behind the ice sculpture suddenly moved, and then rushed towards me.I had been prepared for a long time, and stabbed out with the dagger in my hand, but the man violated the common sense of physics, suddenly made a somersault in the air, and jumped directly over my head.

When he turned around, the man's figure flickered, and he flashed into a hole on the side of the ice cave.

Such a close-range attack was unexpectedly overtaken by him. I was annoyed in my heart, and shouted: "Chasing!" and Doufu immediately chased towards the place where the black shadow disappeared.

Tofu said: "That man is so powerful, who is it? Old Chen, have you seen his appearance clearly?"

I recalled it, and found that the man was covered with a big black cloth, his head and face were covered, and his movements were fast. When I thought about it carefully, he really didn't show his face, except for a black shadow, he saw nothing.I suddenly realized: Could it be that he was the one who slapped the dumb before?

Didn't the mute chase him in?Why is he still there, but the mute is nowhere to be seen?
I was startled in my heart, the secret way is not good, maybe this thing has some tricks, the dumb has been tricked, right?At this time, Tofu and I had already run into the entrance next to the ice cave. Unexpectedly, the entrance was a sloping ice passage. At this moment, it also fell into the air, and then fell to the ground with a bang.In the dark, the two of us slid down the sloping ice road, not knowing where the end was, and what was waiting for us at the end. That feeling was terrifying.

I knew in my heart that I was careless this time, that person must have lured me and Tofu here on purpose, what if there is a forest of blades and swords at the end of the ice road?What if there is some kind of organ trap?No, I can't go on like this for long.

The moment these thoughts flashed in my mind, I felt the structure of the ice passage in the dark, it was not too wide, so I opened my legs and stretched them into a straight line, and with this force, I stopped stature.

But just as soon as it stopped, a mass in the darkness slammed into my arms, it wasn't tofu, it was someone, I couldn't hold on to it, my legs went limp, and I slid down again.This ice road is winding and winding, just like riding a roller coaster. From time to time, we have to bump our heads. In order to avoid breaking our necks, we had to hug each other and roll down. We thought that this is the end of the journey, and I hope there is nothing under the ice road. weird place.

At this moment, I suddenly felt my waist tighten, as if I was hooked by something. The force of this thing was so strong that the sliding force of the tofu and I stopped immediately. At the same time, my ears A muffled grunt was heard.

This sound is not made by me, let alone by tofu, it seems to be a dumb voice!
I opened my eyes and suddenly saw that my surroundings were covered by a burst of green cold light.Immediately afterwards, I realized that it was a human hand that was hooking my waist. At this moment, it was firmly grasping my clothes. When I looked up, it was either dumb or someone else.

The mute is similar to what I did before, spreading his legs against the ice wall. Now, he is clasping the ice edge next to the ice wall with one hand, and grabbing my clothes with the other. In the ice cave, some hoarfrost had condensed on his face, and he couldn't speak a word, only panting heavily.

Immediately afterwards, the mute gave me a wink, and I met him immediately, knowing that it would be too difficult for him to support the weight of the two of us alone, and I am afraid that he would not be able to last long, so Tofu and I imitated his example and stabilized In terms of stature, the three of them are like three crabs, staying in a difficult posture in the inclined ice passage, their muscles are tense, and they dare not move.

The mute obviously knew why the tofu and I fell down, so he didn't ask why, not to mention that the kid has a cold smoke in his mouth and can't speak.Even if I have a stomach full of questions, I can't ask them.At this time, I saw the mute shift his eyes to the bottom of the ice road, and just by the bleak green light of cold smoke and fire, I realized that it was almost the end of Tofu and I, and at the end of the ice road, There is a round bronze door!
This thing blocked the end of the ice passage, forming a round door, and inside the door were countless sharp bronze cones, and there were bloodstains on the bronze cones.The corners of my eyes twitched, and I knew that if the dumb hadn't saved Tofu and me just now, I'm afraid that we would have become human meat skewers on the bronze door.

Immediately afterwards, the mute loosened his mouth, and the cold smoke and fire slid down to the bronze door, and the light was faintly visible.It wasn't until this moment that the mute said, "Have you met him?"

he?
I reacted and said, "You mean the man in black?"

Tofu said angrily: "Of course we met, otherwise could the two of us be here now? There are other people in this place, which bastard is it!" As soon as Tofu finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, apparently thinking of something .

Before, we were only focused on chasing the man in black, and didn't think about some issues carefully, such as, in this Xuanbing tomb, where else is there other than us?Old man Zhao and his gang have been missing for three months, and even if they are not dead, they still cannot stay in the Xuanbing Tomb.

That being the case, the identity of the man in black just now is ready to be revealed.

Such a good skill, as well as the time and place of appearance... All of these points to one person: Lu Su.

Tofu swallowed his saliva, and asked the mute: "Have you seen that person's face? Is it him?" The mute did not speak, but his emotionless and indifferent gaze said everything.At this moment, I have to say that I am a little bit chilled. Although I already knew that Lu Su was not a good guy, as can be seen from the way he killed Wei and Nanjing, but this person's behavior can really touch people's hearts.Although I have always had objections to him, I am convinced by it. Subconsciously, I already have an idea that even if Lu Su acts recklessly, he should not kill me and Tofu.

But now I find that I was wrong.

Lu Su is an out-and-out split personality. When he calls you a brother, you will feel that he is not righteous, but when he stabs you in the back, he can make his popularity go crazy.

Tofu was very sad, and said in disbelief: "Old Chen, tell me...you tell me why, why don't you all be good people, why can one person become two? I regard him as a good buddy, How could he... how could he..." Tofu looked at the bronze cone not far from us, with fear and pain in his eyes.

For a simple-minded person like him, the pain caused by this betrayal is undoubtedly painful.

Yeah, what's all this for?
I suddenly thought of the magic lamp taken out of the drum.

There is a three-day time difference between us and Lu Su. What has he experienced during these three days?Or, what did he discover?At the beginning, the red smoke from Tianbing's body made me and Tofu recover quickly. At that time, I had some doubts whether Pu Zhen had mastered the method of making the 'key', but now, with the With the appearance of the magic lamp, and following Lu Su's extermination, I suddenly realized a problem: the key that Lu Su has been looking for all along may have been found!

The goal has been achieved, so should all outsiders who know the goal be eliminated?

At this time, Tofu thought of another question, showing nervousness, and said: "It's a little strange. We followed him into the ice cave. He was in front of us. Why didn't he fall in?" I recalled , although the situation was very urgent at that time, I didn't have time to pay much attention to the surrounding movement, but I remember that the entrance of this ice passage was sealed. If Lu Su wanted to lure us into the ice passage, then he would definitely fall into it himself. go in.

But why did he disappear?
I told them my thoughts about the key, and the dumb frowned upon hearing this.

Tofu nervously said: "Then tell me, did he find old man Zhao's body? Will he also take the map?"

I shook my head and said: "I can't be sure about this. His goal has always been the 'key'. If he gets that thing, he probably won't be too interested in the Tomb of the Giant-Eared King." The mute didn't participate in our conversation, He moved his body and came to the bronze awl, avoiding the tip, sitting on the ice path, with his hands against the two walls, trying to open the bronze door with his legs.

There was an iron bolt inside the door, tightly stuck between the bronze door and the black ice, the dumb man slowly pushed the iron bolt aside with his toes, and then heard a creaking sound, the round bronze door was missing the iron bolt. The shackles immediately retreated.In an instant, a puff of red smoke poured into the ice from the world behind the bronze door.

I smelled a familiar smell, exactly the same as the smoke from Tianbing's body.

At this moment, the pain that the body suffered before seemed to be worthless, and after only two sips, the whole person felt refreshed.

The mute clicked his tongue, retracted his arms, jumped, and jumped out of the ice passage.
