Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 454 Leading the Way
The surroundings were extremely quiet, and everyone was silent for a long time before they gradually calmed down. Fortunately, they all had seen the world, otherwise ordinary people would have been shocked.I shook my head to calm myself down. Immediately afterwards, everyone turned on the lights into the square passageway. The dark stone steps seemed to be densely packed, and I didn't know where they extended.When walking past the corpse fairy, the rest of the people subconsciously moved away.

Man is such a complicated animal. When he sees a powerful object, he will unconsciously rely on it, but in addition, he will feel fear in his heart and feel threatened.After the initial shock, Tofu saw the corpse fairy standing alone, showing dissatisfaction, so he grabbed the corpse fairy's hand and said, "The wood is good, follow me from now on."

Tofu and Shixian and I walked at the back, and Zhuan Rui walked at the front. The stone steps were a bit damp, and there was a dark wind blowing up continuously. I thought of the underground river that formed this oasis, and my heart ached. It is said that [-]% of the underground river water has seeped in.

My guess was really good. After going down about 2000 floors, groundwater appeared at the end of the stone steps, completely submerging the remaining stone steps, and it was cold to step on the water.Fortunately, the stone steps have reached the end and are not deep, so the surrounding space has also expanded.Tofu pondered and said, this is probably the secret treasure house of the royal palace, so it is hidden so deep.I said: "Don't be beautiful, even if it is a treasure house, it has been soaked in water for more than [-] years, and any treasure will be soaked."

The water is not deep, it only reaches to the waist of the person, the whole space is submerged by water, the water flows slowly from right to left, and there is an arched passage on the side, through which the water flows , I do not know where to flow.Upstream, that is, the space on the right hand side is not too large. There are three arched doors at the end, and the water flows out of the three arched doors.These stones are all made of that kind of hard black stone.

I don't know much about stone materials, and I don't know what materials these stone materials are made of, but there must be some unique way to cut and process so many stone materials.Everyone looked around the space, and found nothing unusual, except that there are some strange lines on the top of the treasure, which are circles of spiral patterns. If you stare at it for a while, you will feel dizzy.

Tofu looked at the left and right respectively, and asked which way to go first, Zhuan Rui was about to answer, when suddenly, there was a black shadow standing there in one of the arched doors on the right.The black shadow was not high, like a child, I suddenly remembered the girl lying on the wall before, and shouted: "Stop!"

Of course, these words are like playing the piano to a cow. When I shouted, the girl turned around instead, ran towards the arched door, and disappeared in an instant.A guess has already emerged in my mind, and I vaguely feel that this girl should have no malicious intentions, and her behavior seems to lead us somewhere.I didn't care about explaining, and immediately chased after me, and the others followed me while asking me what was going on.

Because we were going against the current, coupled with the resistance of the water, we didn't run fast in the water. The figure of the girl always appeared and disappeared in front of me, like an underground ghost. In fact, it was indeed a ghost.

After a while, we ran out of the passage in one breath, and the girl, just like before, disappeared without a trace.

But at this time, the scene behind the passage was another scene. The walls of this place were engraved with densely packed divine inscriptions. In the center, there was a round black totem pole. At the top is the shape of Huduo that we are familiar with.

But it is different from what we have seen before. Its pointed mouth can see an upturned arc, like a hunter waiting for the prey to enter the trap, and it seems to say to us: welcome.Seeing the words of God engraved densely on the wall, Zhuan Rui finally couldn't calm down, and immediately said: "Camera, hurry up, take pictures of them all." Zhang Wen took out the camera from the equipment bag, adjusted his anxiety to the maximum, and immediately started Shooting, the camera's flash kept flashing a dazzling white light.

At this moment, the rest of us have nothing to do, Zhuanrui asked me why I ran in suddenly, and I will talk about seeing a girl again, Tofu said: "It seems that there are good people, and ghosts are good ghosts, that kid It should be to help us."

Zhuan Rui didn't speak, but lowered his eyes and meditated. From time to time, he glanced at Huduo on the totem pole, his face was not very good-looking, and he seemed to be thinking about something.I thought to myself that there are so many divine words in this place, and the amount of information covered is very large. The way to get rid of Huyuduo may be in these ancient special words. It seems that our progress this time is relatively smooth. It's not far to call it a day.

Not long after this thought came to me, a sudden change suddenly occurred. Zhuan Rui, who was next to me, suddenly raised his head. Before I could react, he rushed towards Zhang Wen.And Zhang Wen was holding the camera and concentrating on taking pictures and recording, when Zhuan Rui threw him down in the water, and the camera fell directly into the water.

"Damn, why are you crazy!" Tofu was shocked, and immediately went to rescue the camera, but the camera had been soaked in water and could no longer be used.

On the other side, Zhong Gong and Wan Shitong hurriedly pulled Zhuan Rui and Zhang Wen apart, dragging them out of the water.The moment he got out of the water, Zhuan Rui moaned while clutching his forehead, "Damn it!"

Zhong Gong said nervously: "The head of the house, what's going on?"

Zhuan Rui shook his head, didn't speak, but immediately pulled the camera from Tofu's hand, but it couldn't be turned on, which provoked Zhuan Rui to swear again.Zhuan Rui seldom swears. People from such a big family are naturally extravagant, but now, Zhuan Rui scolded Gou Niang severely, and then quickly took off the memory card of the camera, put the card close to his body, and put it The camera that entered the water fell violently, with an angry look on his face.

The rest of us were confused and didn't understand what Zhuanrui wanted to do when he came out suddenly, so we heard Zhuanrui panting heavily, he seemed very tired, his eyes flashed fiercely, and pointed at the person next to us. Totem pole, said to Zhong Gong: "Fry."

Tofu was startled, and said, "Fried? Didn't you hear what Old Chen said? You can't use explosives here. What's going on?" Zhuan Rui took a deep breath, pointed to Huyuduo on the totem pole, and said After a pause, he said: "It's alive, I was confused by it just now, damn it, this thing destroyed the camera."

Only then did I understand that Zhuan Rui didn't intend to block Zhang Wen, but was overshadowed by Hu Yuduo.I couldn't help but look at the stone sculpture on the totem pole. Is it really alive?Why does a fictitious totem have these strange powers?
According to legend, the power of Huyuduo is purification and rebirth. It will eat the wicked, purify them, plant them in the soil and 'grow' them again.Zhuan Rui has experienced such a scene before, if these words did not come from Zhuan Rui's mouth, I must have thought that someone was joking with me.

After everyone listened, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Tofu pondered that using explosives was too dangerous, so he ordered the corpse fairy to destroy the Huyuduo. Literal, but also did not see any action.

In the end, Zhong Gong followed Zhuan Rui's advice, climbed up the totem pole, and got a small detonator.It was inserted directly into Hu Yuduo's mouth.

The blasting power of this detonator is not strong, so it should not affect the stability of the underground building. After placing the detonator, everyone retreated to a position far from the entrance. Zhong Gong raised his gun and aimed at the detonator in Huuduo's mouth, ready to detonate it with bullets.

Hearing a bang, the bullet flew out, but missed, guessing that Zhong Gong was a little nervous, so he went on to fire the second shot, and then heard another gunshot, and this shot was also missed.The flesh on Zhong Gong's cheek twitched, and he thought it was embarrassing. Shooting a gun was his old profession, but at such a short distance, he missed two shots in a row, and suddenly became annoyed, aiming at Hu Duo He fired three shots.

These three shots have already failed.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong.In terms of guns, Zhong Gong's strength is obvious to all, why today...

Could it be that something is causing trouble?
Thinking of this time, I stretched out my hand and asked Zhong Gong to give me the gun, and then I started aiming myself. Although I can't hit every shot, I have had more opportunities to use the gun in the past two years. Practice makes perfect, and now the accuracy is pretty good.

At least one of three.

I fired five shots, again, and missed one.

Tofu pondered and said: "Your flying knife is more accurate than your gun. Why don't you try it with a flying knife, and you said before that your flying knife can also ward off evil spirits?" I said, "That's because my grandfather quenched the poison." The flying knife can ward off evil spirits, because cinnabar is added in it, and my flying knife has not been poisoned, so it is useless." Even so, I took out the flying knife and tried it, and when I pinched the flying knife to aim, I suddenly saw another head poke out from behind that Huduo's head!
It's the girl who brought us in before!
It appeared out of nowhere, and the aiming head I aimed at in advance disappeared, and the rest of the people obviously saw the little girl, and they all exclaimed, but this time no one shot at it, and my throwing knife It had already been shot, but for some reason, this time, the throwing knife clearly missed its aim, but it shot right onto the detonator. In an instant, there was only a loud bang, and the pistol was blown to pieces, along with The totem pole was also broken in half.

As soon as this thing disappeared, the weird atmosphere in the air seemed to be relieved. I just breathed a sigh of relief when I suddenly discovered that the groundwater soaking my lower body started to bubble up.
