Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 460 The Savior
Everyone continued to descend, but those zongzi never appeared again. After a while, the stone steps finally came to an end, but to our surprise, there was actually a deep groundwater at the end of the stone steps. It's dark and inexplicable, and it's bottomless.

I was overjoyed, and said: "With water, Wan Shi Tong should still be alive!"

Zhang Wen and Zhong Gong were very excited, and they immediately started calling Wanshitong's name. Only then did I know that his name was Xu Li.But we shouted for a long time, but no one responded. Tofu crowed and said, "Isn't it drowning?"

Ouyang Xuan said: "Bah, bah, bah, I hate it, you just drowned."

I squatted down and dipped my hand into the water to feel it.I just feel that the underground water is extremely cold and flows extremely slowly. I thought to myself, before that, Master of Everything fell from such a high place, and he was still unconscious at the time. He was really at risk of being drowned. Hope it doesn't work out this time.I thought about it, and said to everyone: "The groundwater in this area is very deep, and the water flows from east to west. Xu Li may have been brought down by the current. Let's go down the river to find it." After a pause, I Said: "Let's divide into two groups, one group is responsible for the water, and the other group is responsible for the underwater." In fact, if you find a know-it-all underwater, it means that you are really drowning.

The rest of the people were meaningless, but Ouyang Xuan said with a scared expression: "You said, did those zongzi come out of the water before? Isn't that a water ghost? Let's just go into the water like this, in case..."

I didn't need her to remind me of this, I also had this level of worry in my heart, at this moment, I saw Zhuan Rui took out the incense candle and began to ask for incense.This trick is a method left by the ancestors of Daodou. If there are zongzi, and where are the zongzi, please be sure.Therefore, everyone did not rush into the water and waited on the shore.After a while, little red dots appeared on the head of the incense, and the smoke curled up in the light, and then slowly spread.After observing for a while, everyone found that the smoke was normal, the candlelight was also of normal color, and there was no ghost panting.

When I saw this place, I was puzzled. According to the results of asking for incense, this place is quite clean, so what happened to the batches of death-cycle zongzi we saw before?Tofu pondered and said, "Could it be that what we saw before was not zongzi?"

Ouyang Xuan said: "It's not zongzi, what is it?"

Tofu shook his head, and said: "I don't know, but those things do exist, and now they disappear without a trace, I find it very strange." After saying this, Tofu seemed to think of something, rolled his eyes, and suddenly hehe I smiled and said, "I have a solution." Immediately afterwards, before I could react, Tofu let out a strange cry, imitating Bruce Lee's appearance, with a flying kick, and kicked towards Shixian's ass.

The corpse fairy guessed that he was also defenseless, kicked by the tofu, straightened, fell into the water with a plop, and sank quickly.

Tofu retracted his feet, put his arms around my shoulders, and proudly said: "Let it go to thunder, how about it, am I smart?"

The rest of the people were dumbfounded, guessing that no one had thought of this level, I couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, thinking that if Puzhen was conscious, he would definitely be angry and die again.Fortunately, the corpse fairy didn't fight back, otherwise it would be enough for Tofu to die a hundred times.

The corpse fairy was kicked into the water, and then sank straight down, the water surface remained silent for a long time.Tofu was dumbfounded, and shouted towards the surface of the water: "I said... Wood, give me some reaction. You are not asked to go diving, but to go to thunderstorms." After shouting, the water surface was still calm.The tofu is said to be broken. Could it be that the corpse fairy can't swim?This is how to do?Everyone waited for a while, the surroundings were calm, and the corpse fairy did not respond at all. Finally, Zhuan Rui shook his head and said, "Let's rely on ourselves."

After speaking, he began to organize his equipment, and it seemed that he was planning to go into the water.

Everyone tightened their waterproof equipment bags, put away guns and other things that should be stored, took off their gas masks, and went into the water one after another.Tofu and I decided to go down first to see what the corpse fairy is doing. Although it is impossible for the corpse fairy to drown, we can't just let it stay in the water, right?
Tofu and I were wearing headlights, squinting our eyes and diving into the water. The bottom of the water was dark, and we couldn’t see any fish. After diving about seven or eight meters, we saw a vague figure at the bottom of the water, slowly moving. Walking underwater, whoever it is, is not a corpse fairy.

I was speechless for a while, it seems that the corpse fairy really can't swim.

As if reacting to the proximity of Tofu and me, it suddenly raised its head. Shixian seldom reacts proactively. It seems that he was suddenly kicked into the water this time, which 'scared' it a lot. I don't know if it is my illusion, or Or because of the dim light underwater, I feel that the corpse fairy's eyes seem to be wronged.

Tofu winked at me and asked me what to do.

The corpse fairy is fine in the water, but he can't swim, so he can't float up, so he has to be lifted up by manpower.But it would be too inconvenient, how can we find someone with the corpse fairy?So I shook my head at the tofu, signaling to leave it alone, and then floated up.

Once out of the water.Tofu wiped his face and said, "Old Chen, I feel like I have done something bad. The wood looks so pitiful."

I said, "It's good that you know."

Tofu said, "Let's bring it up."

I said, is it up to you to carry it or I to carry it, or the two of us do nothing and just swim with it?It can't be drowned the other way around, just let it follow under the water.Hearing this, Tofu was helpless, thought for a while, took out a rope, motioned us to wait a moment, then dived into the water, tied one end of the rope to the corpse fairy, and pinched the other end in his hand, saying that it was to prevent the corpse fairy from walking in the water lost.I thought in my heart that the corpse fairy relies on breath to follow people, so I can get rid of it in this way, and it doesn't have to be so troublesome back then.

But I didn't bother to tell Tofu about this, so everyone divided into two groups according to the original plan, one group was at the bottom of the water, and the other group patrolled the water surface.Due to my left hand injury, I was not suitable for long-term diving, so I was in a group with Tofu and Ouyang Xuan. The three of them swam in a triangle shape on the surface of the water, observing the surrounding environment, and the three of them at the bottom, Zhuanrui, would come up every two minutes to change. It takes a lot of energy to get angry, and to patrol the bottom of the water, but every time I shake my head, saying that I didn't find it, but this is good news for us.

This area of ​​water is very large. After swimming for about seven or eight minutes, the stone steps like the ladder of the day were no longer visible. Except for the water surface in front of us, we seemed to be in a chaos where we could not see the sky and the ground.At this moment, Ouyang Xuan suddenly yelled, "There is someone!"

I looked in the direction of her gaze, and found that there was still a figure floating on the water not far away.

The figure floated on the water with its hands and feet open, and it looked like a water floater.My heart skipped a beat, and I said to myself: Is it a know-it-all?Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly swam towards the water drifter, and when he was about to get close to the water drifter, the thing suddenly disappeared.

I blinked, there are no corpses floating on the water, everything seems to be our illusion.Tofu took a deep breath and said, "Damn it, oh my god, it can't be a water ghost."

"Don't talk nonsense..." At the beginning of my words, before I could go into details, I suddenly felt that something was wrong. The water flow was originally from east to west, but when it reached this area, it was divided into two streams. I hadn't noticed it before. Now Attracted by the water floater just now, I changed the original route, and found that the water flowed here, and it was divided into two streams. This stream was from east to south, as if making a sharp turn. The suction of the water was very strong. Big.

I don't think so, with such a strong suction, there is either an underground waterfall with a huge drop in front of it, or just a water eye. If it is sucked over, it will be fine.

"Quick, swim back."

While I was talking, I turned around and swam back, but it was too late, the three of us almost swam one meter forward, and we had to retreat three meters. The suction force is also getting stronger and stronger, and it seems to be out of control, I immediately shouted: "Gather in one place, don't disperse."

Immediately afterwards, the three of them quickly gathered together, but even so, the strong suction force made us completely lose our ability to resist.At this time, a light came on in the distance of the water, it should be Zhuan Rui and others who came out of the water, only to hear Zhong Gong shout: "Miss Ouyang, why are you so far away?" While shouting, he turned towards us Swim over in the direction.

I hurriedly shouted: "Don't come here, there seems to be an underground waterfall here, we are trapped!"

While talking, the three of us withdrew for a long time, and we couldn't even see the figures of Zhong Gong and the others, only a ball of light.Ouyang Xuan's voice was almost crying, and she said: "What should I do, think of a way... Um..." Due to the unstable water flow, it was difficult for us to maintain our figure in the water, Ouyang Xuan choked while talking water.

My heart is finished, if I go on like this, I will be sucked away. In desperation, I suddenly thought of the corpse fairy at the bottom of the water, so I said: "Take the rope and go into the water." Now we can't stabilize our bodies at all. And there is no support, for the current plan, the only way to avoid being sucked away is by diving into the water and relying on the corpse fairy.

Immediately afterwards, the three of us took a deep breath and dived down along the stretched straight rope. The corpse fairy walked slowly below, thus falling behind, and the rope between the water surface and the corpse fairy formed a circle. angle of inclination.The three of us descended to the bottom of the water along the stretched rope, without saying a word, like three octopuses, we hugged the corpse fairy together.

As soon as the tofu stopped, the corpse fairy did not continue to move forward. Under the strong suction, he stood straight at the bottom of the water, but his dark eyes turned slightly, staring at my tofu, as if because we put It is put under the water, and makes a silent accusation.
