Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 477 Escape
The rest of the people were not much better, except for the corpse fairy, the rest were lying on the ground tired.At this time, regardless of my fatigue, I signaled everyone to turn on the lights.The light gathered in one place, and at a height of more than 40 meters above, the chisel that had been erected before was still in place, but beside it, there was still a black shadow.

"Damn it." I couldn't help but punched my fist on the ground. The pain made the anger in my heart drop a little. I turned my head and looked down. The place where the light could be shrouded was still calm, but everyone knew in their hearts that The time in the darkness has already been distorted, and soon, these distorted times will engulf us!
Tofu yelled at the top angrily: "You little bastard, come down and fight alone!" This little girl is actually not very powerful, but the key is that we can only go up through the rope, but this thing keeps playing tricks, making us If we can't put on the rope, our retreat will be cut off alive.

The little girl naturally wouldn't respond to us, Tofu said anxiously: "What did you say about high quality, I still have a lot of chocolate in my bag, I don't know if the quality is high, but the calories are quite high."

I smiled wryly, and said, "Keep the chocolate for yourself." Tofu said with a sad face, "That's right, in the end, you still have to be swallowed, and you will be a hungry ghost." Then he took out a dozen chocolates, click Clicking to chew, the mouth is surrounded by dark chocolate.I wanted to cry but didn't have any tears, I thought how did I know such a guy, when is this, he really can eat it!At this time, Zhuan Rui said: "Chen Xuan, you make a decision."

I know what Zhuanrui means, he asked me to use the corpse as a sacrifice.Zhuan Rui is a good person, I am very grateful to him, he is not as dark as Lu Su, not as cold as dumb, he is a very principled person.But I know that in this case, even if I don't agree, it won't do, because Zhuan Rui is righteous, but he will never sacrifice everyone for a corpse fairy.

Either use the corpse fairy sacrifice, maybe there is still a chance of survival, or we will all be swallowed.

I took a deep breath, and my heart was overwhelmed.Hearing this, Tofu looked around between Zhuan Rui and me, and said, "What are you two playing?" Before I could speak, Zhuan Rui looked at Tofu and spoke bluntly, explaining the serious relationship to Tofu.

Dumbfounded, Tofu pointed at the corpse fairy and stammered, "Use, use wood to sacrifice, sacrifice? No way!"

Zhuan Rui said lukewarmly: "We still have about 10 minutes to think about it."

Tofu was in a hurry, looked at me and said, "Old Chen, make a statement!"

I smiled wryly. In fact, there is nothing to say. If Tofu and I disagree, then the two groups of us will probably kill each other. Zhuan Rui is indeed a good person, but when it comes to life and death, he is absolutely not Will be soft.

Even if we don't need to sacrifice the corpse fairy now, we won't be able to escape in the end.

I thought for a while, took a deep breath, and said, "Ten minutes, there is another way." I looked at the corpse fairy, and said, "I don't know if you can fully understand what I said, now, the thing above puts the Our way of life is blocked, you are a corpse fairy, you can fly into the sky and escape from the ground, as long as you want, killing it is as easy as killing an ant. But if you don’t understand me, then I can only say to you Sorry."

Tofu also knew that there was no way out at this moment, and in a hurry, he put his hands on the corpse fairy's shoulders and shook violently, saying: "Squeak! Hurry up and eat that little rice dumpling, or we will die!"

The corpse fairy still had a dull face, but its eyeballs trembled violently, and it opened its mouth slightly, making a hissing sound, but it seemed that the corpse fairy really couldn't respond to the soft rice dumplings. It looked up, and finally looked down again. The eyes seemed a little innocent, as if they couldn't see where the little zongzi we were talking about was at all.

I had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, thinking that it would be easy if I responded, then I took out the rope, put it around the corpse fairy's waist, and said to it: "Go up and wait at the entrance of the cave, we will follow this path." Climb up with a rope. You're going to hold the rope tight, you know?"

It understood this sentence, and suddenly stretched out a hand, and tightly grasped the rope tied around its waist. Immediately afterwards, I grabbed the other end of the rope and said to the corpse fairy: "Go up."

The Corpse Immortal lived up to everyone's expectations, suddenly rose from the ground, and rushed to the top, only an afterimage could be seen quickly, and then, a rope was hanging straight in front of our eyes.Everyone's lights were shining on the entrance of the cave, and only the feet of the corpse fairy could be seen, but the black shadow at the entrance of the cave disappeared.

It seems that these soft rice dumplings are still somewhat taboo to corpse immortals.

Everyone was overjoyed, and quickly climbed up along the rope, not daring to delay, followed the way they came, ran all the way, and quickly climbed out along the entrance of the robber's cave.

Sure enough, Batu is no longer there. Although it may be less than two days for us, but for Batu, it is estimated to be at least half a month. He probably thought that we were killed or that the supplies were not enough, so left.

It was daytime now, and the Populus euphratica forest was gloomy, and everyone escaped from birth, so they couldn't help sitting in place gasping for breath, and by the way praised the beauty of the corpse fairy, Zhuanrui said to the corpse fairy: "My grandfather's generation There is a rumor circulating that there is an ancient tomb in Balonggou, Qinling Mountains, which was once overturned by a colleague, and there is a poisonous corpse king in it, which is surrounded by a coffin of Qianyin Xingkui. The senior only took some artifacts, I didn’t dare to touch the coffin, the Poison King should still be there, and I’ll take you to have extra meals if I have a chance.”

At this moment, Ouyang Xuan was in a daze, she didn't know what happened, the high fever subsided a little, but her mind was still blurred, everyone rested for less than three to five minutes, Zhong Gong's sharp eyes suddenly stared into the distance, His expression changed, his voice trembled a little, and he said: "No, look ahead!" Following his gaze, the originally gloomy Populus euphratica forest, the light and shadows opened up, but the place full of Populus euphratica was originally full, Impressively, it has disappeared and turned into billowing yellow sand.

I took a deep breath and thought about it suddenly: It's not that I'm safe if I escape from the ground, it's still going on!

Everyone was dumbfounded, and then started to run for their lives again. This time the speed was much slower, and part of the equipment had to be thrown away, leaving only the most important ones.Tofu had the weakest physical strength, and he couldn't hold on for a long time. He staggered and fell like a dog eating shit without taking two steps. Will it swallow the entire NMG!"

Zhuan Rui said: "No, as long as it swallows something of sufficient quality and reaches a balanced state, it will naturally converge."

Tofu said, "That means cannibalism? How much do you have to eat?"

Zhuanrui said: "A shaman used Huyuduo to suppress it in the past, and offered sacrifices every year, and it couldn't eat many people, but now the totem pole has been destroyed, and the shaman has died long ago. It hasn't eaten for more than 2000 years. It expands all of a sudden, how much do you want to eat?"

I thought about that scene, the grassland turned into desert in an instant, and the cattle, sheep, and herdsmen on the grassland were all turned into powder without knowing it, and they would not stop until they had enough quality.That kind of scene is simply the end of the world.

I said: "No, we can't let it go on like this, it will continue to expand, we will always run out of energy one day, if it really expands to the area where there are people, then the matter will be serious." I quickly picked up the tofu and continued Running, both legs are about to cramp, and the muscles are shaking with pain.Until now, I finally understood why this desert suddenly had an oasis. Presumably, at that time, Xue An must have had some experience that we don't know, which inadvertently touched Xu, causing the time in this area to change, so Only a few decades ago, an oasis was quickly born, but now, this oasis is about to be swallowed up, the invisible time, the tangible desert, the green is pushed back bit by bit, and the animals in the oasis seem to be Foreboding the disaster, the birds wailed and the beasts roared, and they ran for their lives together with us. Several wolves ran past us and turned a blind eye to us.

This is really a catastrophe. Animals also have life. During the running process, the wailing of birds and beasts was conveyed to everyone's ears in the most direct way.Although the big guy didn't say it out loud, he must be feeling uncomfortable in his heart, feeling like a rabbit died and a fox was sad.

As soon as Tofu heard that he had to eat something of high quality to make it stop, he immediately panted and said, "You can't think of wood."

Zhuan Rui said: "It's not our idea to hit it now, but if we can't escape, we will all be swallowed, and we will die very much, not just people." This topic is very heavy, and everyone did not follow the previous direction. Walking, but crossing the oasis, so it took a short time to run out of the oasis. We stood on a sand dune, turned around and looked, the original fusiform oasis was only half a crescent, and many animals ran out. After leaving the oasis, they ran around in panic in the yellow sand.

Tofu was a little sad and said: "These animals are so pitiful. They will die without grass and water." I said: "Among these animals, flying birds have the highest chance of survival. They can leave the desert the fastest, and some of them are weak. Birds will be killed by heat in this process, followed by carnivores, they will first live on herbivores, and then look for new habitats. The law of nature is the law of the jungle, when a huge disaster occurs, only run fast Only those with strong survivability can survive, and only those who survive can have a future.”

Tofu said: "At this time, don't talk to me. The oasis is about to disappear, but... we really can't run anymore." Everyone's legs were shaking from overuse, and they ran no matter how much they ran It was not far away, the intense physical exhaustion and the extreme heat made my brain ache and my thinking became dull.

I have only one thought on my mind at the moment: to stop its expansion.I looked at the corpse fairy next to me, and I understood very rationally that none of us can escape without offering sacrifices.But emotionally, it is really difficult for me to sacrifice the corpse fairy.

I couldn't help covering my head, and sat decadently in the sand.
