Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 442 Launching
If there is no Batu's body below, but a large stone slab, it will look very suspicious.Because this is a desert, it is impossible for stone slabs to appear in the stratum. The only possibility is that the stone slabs were transported here manually. Then, there may be some ancient relics in this riverbed.

Hearing this, Tofu said, "Why don't we stop looking for Batu?"

Zhuan Rui squinted his eyes, stared at the waist knife in my hand, and said, "Of course I need to look for it, maybe he's also down there."

Tofu said: "But, didn't you say that there is no corpse?"

I suddenly understood, and said to Tofu: "If there are ancient ruins below, and there is a sand sink, then Batu is probably washed under the ruins by the sand flow, so of course we can't find him now..." I didn't After saying the word corpse, I only hope that Batu can be safe and sound, he is innocent.

Since Batu might be trapped in the ruins, we didn't dare to waste time, and hurried back to the camp. Everyone moved things to the meadow, planned a slanted robbery hole, and cut straight into the bottom of the stone slab.Because there are aquatic plants here, the sand and soil structure is relatively tight, but it is also very fragile, so we had to cut down a lot of tree trunks, dig a robbery hole one by one, and reinforce the inside to prevent the robbery hole from collapsing.As a result, our workload has greatly increased, and the speed of progress has been very slow.

Several people took turns to fight, and for most of the night, everyone was covered in mud and sand. Tofu finally sat down on the ground and gasped tiredly, looked at the corpse fairy next to him, and cursed: "Damn, you usually follow me!" You're so tight, why don't you follow me once I'm working? You want to be lazy, so go steal a hole for me."

I said: "If you want it to steal a hole, I guess you have to attract at least two heavenly soldiers to fight the tooth sacrifice. Don't make things difficult for it."

As soon as Tofu finished speaking, the corpse fairy tilted his head, and slowly spit out two words: "Punch... a hole..."

I think this is a good thing. I thought that since eating a large number of poisonous devil bugs, its learning ability has improved by leaps and bounds. It only took a while to learn a new word.Tofu said: "Yeah, make holes, just like them." He pointed to Zhong Gong who was transporting sand.

At this moment, Tofu and I are really sitting on the meadow and watching everyone work. It's not that we are lazy, but that we have just finished our work and retired, and we are in a rotation break.This corpse fairy has a good example. Everyone in the team likes to tease it except Zhuanrui, but it seems to only respond to Tofu and my words at present, probably because it has been with us for a long time.

When Tofu spoke, Shixian's eyeballs rolled twice, moved to the entrance of the robber's hole, repeated the word "hole", and walked towards Zhuanrui and others step by step.Tofu and I just used the corpse fairy for fun, but I didn't expect it to actually pass by.Tofu was stunned, and stammered: "Old, Old Chen, if I remember correctly, this is the first time it left us on its own initiative besides looking for food, right?"

I said yes.

Tofu said: "I'm a good boy, you said that if we really keep it like this, and bring it in the future, wouldn't it be invincible in the world?"

I said: "Good things take time, don't think too much. Not everyone can dig the robbery hole here. It needs to be reinforced. Call it back quickly. Don't do anything bad." Tofu then Gao Sheng shouted: "Wood, don't dig holes, Come back." As expected, the corpse fairy was obedient and walked back.I am also happy in my heart, after all, after the corpse fairy has been cultivated, with its help, it is not only as simple as adding wings to a tiger, it is simply reborn, and many things that could not be done before, with it, are all fine.

The shadow of the Earth Ghost King flashed across my mind first, vowing not to avenge the killing of relatives, and not to be a human being!

After the corpse fairy came to us, I wanted to test how conscious it was, so I asked it: "What's your name?" I asked it rhetorically, because it had already remembered the names of me and Tofu. , if you ask us, it's already difficult.But I think that knowing yourself is the first step of consciousness, so I asked the past.

Obviously, the corpse fairy hadn't 'thought' about this issue before, so it kept a blank face and didn't make any statement.Tofu is because the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry. He scratched his head and scratched his head to remind him: "Forget what we usually call you? Think about it..."

For a full ten minutes, when Tofu and I were hopeless, the corpse fairy suddenly spat out four words: "My name is Wood..."

I was speechless for a while, half of my heart was happy, and half of my heart was painful. This Puzhen used the king of Daailao to trap people to death, and later dragged people out of the coffin and strangled them to death. Big plans, dedication, unscrupulous.Would he have thought that after more than 500 years, he would be reborn in this appearance?

It can only be said that things are unpredictable.No matter how poor a person is, it is impossible to calculate every step accurately.

When it answered, Tofu and I looked at each other, knowing that the 'evolution' of the corpse fairy is actually beyond our imagination, and it is not as slow as we expected. It can even be said that it is developing at an astonishing speed. Growing up, because the current corpse fairy can already be said to have self-awareness.

Tofu hissed, and said in a low voice, "If poisonous poisoning is useful, let's go back to Shenzhen, why don't we buy more waste oil, Sudan red, and melamine for it to eat, so as to ensure that it grows faster."

I said: "What is waste oil? It's okay if we eat it every day. That little bit of poison can raise corpses?" Hurrying around, he came out, shook the sand from his head, and said: "We have dug into the stone wall, it looks like an ancient ruin, but we can't go all the way down, this robbery hole can't stand the toss." , and the sandy soil structure, going down too much will be dangerous.”

In the end, Zhuan Rui arranged for me, Zhong Gong and himself to go down, and the rest of the people were waiting outside.After all, I am here to help Zhuan Rui this time, so I have full authority to listen to his arrangements.The three of them got into the robbery hole and didn't dare to make too much movement. The surrounding reinforcement wood didn't play a big role. We were risking our lives.

After a while, we climbed to the end of the robbery cave, and we saw a stone slab in front of us.The stone slab was already mottled, and the surface was as rough as gravel. It had obviously been buried for a long time, and the entire stone wall had been tilted and cracked.I turned on the light, and the light filtered in through the crack, showing the steam inside.

We had already brought our tools in advance, and we didn't dare to damage the stone wall vigorously. We could only slowly dig along the cracks with a chisel, and it took a long time to make a hole the size of a person and drill in.

Behind the stone wall is a pool of water. After jumping down, the feet will not touch the ground. The whole person has to swim. When the light is turned on, the water surface is very muddy. Not far away, one of the stone walls has collapsed and most of the sand has poured in. Block this place by two-thirds.According to the location, the place where the sand poured in should be the place where the land subsidence occurred not long ago. We didn't bother to find out which civilization this ruin belonged to, so the three of us swam to the side of the sand.

If Batu was buried head-on at that time, then he is likely to be buried in this pile of sand now.Of course, the best situation is that the sand is buried from the side, so in that case, Batu has the possibility of survival.We circled the pile of sand, looking around with a flashlight, and suddenly I noticed a round hole in one side of the sand, above the surface of the water, so the hole hadn't been washed away by the water.

Next to the hole, there are two more palm prints.

Seeing this, Zhong Gong was overjoyed and said, "It seems that Batu is all right."

I said: "He got stuck in this place, probably he found a way out by himself." While talking, I shook my flashlight and looked at the world buried under the mud, and soon found that behind the mud and sand, there was another one submerged in water. , only a half-meter-high square passage remained, which seemed to be very complete, other than that, nothing else was found.

There should have been some decorative patterns inside this place, but under the erosion of water vapor, all the decorations have disappeared, leaving only the original stone exposed, so we cannot see more things.Does this site have anything to do with Yao Fang?
Zhong Gong pointed to the square passage, and said that Batu probably went along that passage to find the exit, so the three of them could only continue to swim forward. When we entered the passage, almost only our heads were left floating on the water. Conveniently overhead is the top of the channel.I imagined this scene. At first glance, outsiders probably thought that there were three heads floating on the water, especially the three heads had different expressions, and the timid people might be paralyzed with fright.

The channel is not very long. After swimming a few times, we entered the world connected behind the channel amidst the splashing sound of water.There are also only original stones left here, and more things have been destroyed by the water, but after a round of inspection, we can't see Batu's shadow, and there are no other entrances and exits in this space.

A building cannot be designed to be airtight. After thinking about it, I guess there should be a walkway under the water. Will Batu dive into the water?

Just as this thought flashed across my mind, there was a sudden crashing sound behind me. At this moment, Zhuan Rui and I were facing each other, and Zhong Gong was on my left. There could be no one behind me. What was the sound of the water?This thought flashed through my mind, and my whole body reacted immediately, turning around in the water suddenly, and in an instant, a dark face appeared in front of our eyes.

It's Batu.
