Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 401 Old Man Zhao
When he jumped, his figure disappeared into a billowing smoke. I hurriedly looked out, but saw that the exit of the ice passage was not very high from the ground, about one meter away.Outside the ice passage, there is a huge black ice rift. The ice walls on both sides of the ice valley are not as smooth as before, but have sharp edges and corners, revealing the hideous lines when the black ice is torn.

The ice valley stretched all the way forward, and due to the surging smoke, the visual range was very narrow.The mute was standing in the ice valley right now, his figure was wrapped in red smoke, appearing and disappearing from time to time, as if he would disappear at any time.

In case something happened again, Tofu and I quickly jumped down, and the three of us gathered in one place. The visibility in the crack was very low, and with the dim light of the cold fireworks, we could almost only see each other.Tofu shrank his neck and said, "Tell me, where did the smoke come from?"

The mute said coldly: "Go forward and you will know." After speaking, he held a cold firework and walked forward step by step, and his steady footsteps sounded in the ice valley.I signaled Tofu not to be in a daze, and quickly followed the dumb footsteps, and the three of them moved forward in this ice valley.

Soon I felt a dark wind surging in this valley, which seemed to come from the front of the ice valley, and I thought to myself: Could there be some entrance and exit connected to the end of this ice valley?But according to our trend along the way, I am afraid that we are already tens of meters deep under the ice layer, and logically there will be no exit. The wind is a bit weird.

The further you go, the stronger the wind, and the thicker the red smoke. This smoke is like a stimulant. After smelling it for a long time, you will feel your blood vessels swell, your spirits will be lifted, and your brain will start to run at a high speed.There were still some scratches on his body before, but in this moment, he was completely healed.

If this kind of substance is released in the modern medical field, I don't know how crazy it will be.

Walking tens of meters away along the ice valley, the person who had already been blown by the dark wind could not even open his eyes. Tofu and I could not help squinting our eyes, the world in our eyes became more blurred, and the dumb hair was blown into a mess. The jacket on the upper layer rattled, and walking gradually became difficult.

At this moment, I noticed that the dumb moved his hand to his waist. I was familiar with this movement, it was the dumb's movement when he was about to draw the knife.

Is there any danger?
At this moment, except for the mute figure in my eyes, everything around me is shrouded in a layer of red smoke, which looks even more strange under the bleak light of the cold smoke and fire.

Before I could see what was going on, the dumb hand suddenly moved behind him, and quickly gestured at me and Tofu.When I saw this gesture, I couldn't help but bewildered. It obviously meant that Tofu and I should run and leave quickly.

What happened in front of it?How could the mute be so taboo?

This thought flashed in my mind, but the person didn't stop, and quickly started to back away.It's not because I'm timid, but I know the dumb person very well. If he can deal with it, he will never make a gesture to let Tofu and me escape.

Tofu followed me, didn't see the mute's gestures, saw me backing away suddenly, and was a little dazed, he was about to speak, I slammed his mouth over his mouth, made a gesture, and signaled him to run first.Tofu is not good at anything else. He has a special way of running. When he sees a change in the situation, he runs away without saying a word. I didn't follow, but drew out the dagger, ready to see what happened.

Seeing that I didn't leave, the mute frowned, but didn't say anything, just made a gesture of silence, and then, his body dodged and hid in a crack in the ice wall. My heart moved, and I dodged too Hide in the ice crevice aside.

Since we hid on one side and the other on the right, from my angle, I can see the mute's lowered figure, the two black scimitars have been unsheathed, the mute's face is expressionless, and his dark eyes are fixed on the front , but in my opinion, there is fog in that place, or fog, what can I see?
At this moment, I suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps. The sound was mixed with the whistling wind. I couldn't hear it clearly at first, but now I can hear it clearly. It seems that someone is very far away from us. near.

However, if it was purely human, how could the mute be so vigilant?
I smelled the unique smell of smog, and said to myself: There must be something like heavenly soldiers in this place, right?
As the saying goes, when people are unlucky, drinking cold water will get stuck between their teeth. I am really afraid of something.After hiding for a few seconds, an eight-foot-tall figure slowly emerged from the smoke, walking towards our position step by step.That crimson skin, what is it if it is not a heavenly soldier?
This celestial soldier was as big as two people, with gnarled muscles, it was hard to deal with at first sight.

I was secretly shocked, but I was not as scared as before. No matter how powerful something is, once I know its weakness, there is nothing to be afraid of.I already knew where the weak point of the Heavenly Soldiers was, and I told the mute that it would not be difficult for the two of us to work together and take advantage of its unpreparedness.

At this moment, the thing was already approaching, and at this moment, I suddenly noticed something was wrong.This celestial soldier is different from the celestial soldier I saw before. It has no runes on it.

Lu Su once said that the Heavenly Soldiers were trained using the technique of refining corpses. Could it be that this Heavenly Soldiers have not been refined?

So how did it come about?

Thinking of this, my eyes immediately moved to its head.It was also a huge head, the face was very swollen, it had already lost its human shape, and the two eyeballs hung like light bulbs.But even so, I can tell that this person is old man Zhao and who else is he!
Even though the appearance has undergone such a big change, old man Zhao's appearance can still be seen on that swollen face. I didn't expect that he would turn into a heavenly soldier!

This blow was really too great for me. For a while, many questions flashed through my mind: If old man Zhao became a heavenly soldier, did Lu Su get close to it?It stands to reason that if Lu Su and old man Zhao were close, then there are only two possible situations, either old man Zhao dies or Lu Su dies.But now, they are both fine.

If it is said that Lu Su has never been in contact with Old Man Zhao, does it mean that Lu Su never got the map in the silk book?
But the current old man Zhao is as tall as two strong men, and he doesn't have an inch of hair, where can he see the shadow of the silk script?I don't know what happened to this old man surnamed Zhao to turn into such a ghost.Most of the clothes on Old Man Zhao's body were torn during the transformation, so I don't know where they left them, and I don't know which one is more powerful, the Heavenly Soldiers he transformed into or the Heavenly Soldiers we saw before.
But at this moment, Tianbing had already walked to the side of the mute, it obviously found the mute, its swollen head suddenly lowered its head, and grabbed the mute with a big hand.The dumb man was already prepared. I heard about Tianbing's weakness before, so he kept squatting. At this time, as soon as Tianbing turned around, he rolled on the spot and rolled between Tianbing's legs .

But the mute's plan obviously went wrong, because we didn't expect that this heavenly soldier would be transformed by old man Zhao. He obviously has not been refined, so there is no way at all.The dumb man could not use the attacking posture he had prepared long ago, so he had no choice but to rush out according to the original plan, rolled over from Tianbing's crotch, and rushed behind Tianbing all at once.

That day's soldier's reaction was extremely quick, the moment the dumb man jumped up and stabbed the sky soldier's neck with both knives, old man Zhao waved his hand to block it.It was huge in stature, and in this gear, it directly swept to the mute's chest, and sent the mute flying with a strong force.

The mute was slapped to the ground, and before he could get up, old man Zhao had already raised his foot and was about to step on it.My heart skipped a beat, and I jumped out immediately, but my jumping ability is not as abnormal as that of the mute, and it is impossible for me to jump more than one meter high and chop its neck. The dagger suddenly pierced towards its lower back.

In fact, I can only do a psychological experiment with luck. After all, old man Zhao has not passed the stage of refining corpses, so he may not be as perverted as those heavenly soldiers before.With this thought in mind, I dared to attack it.However, when the dagger stabbed down, it immediately overturned my assumptions, just like attacking other heavenly soldiers, my dagger seemed to be stuck in rubber, and I didn't even poke a mark.But this heavenly soldier is more sensitive than the previous heavenly soldiers. After I stabbed down with a dagger, the leg that had been raised to step on the mute suddenly kicked back and kicked towards my chest.

This force was astonishing, I only felt a sharp pain in my chest, my eyes suddenly went black, I flew out, and fell to the ground again with a bang, the back of my head hit the ice hard, my whole body was unconscious It's all blurred, the only feeling is pain, followed by bewilderment, complete bewilderment.
