Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 673 Cocoon

The water flow below is very gentle, and we can only see two white things, but we can't tell why.Due to the position of the one-eyed dragon, he seemed to see farther. He seemed to have discovered something, and his only eye widened. Immediately afterwards, he began to climb the iron chain and continue to move forward.

Because he had a flashlight in his mouth, he couldn't speak, and we couldn't ask him. As the cyclops moved, the position where the light irradiated also changed, and then a third floating object appeared.

What is floating in the water?
Now I strongly desire to have a powerful searchlight, so that I can see the surrounding situation clearly, but it is a pity that it is relatively heavy, so when the group of people wearing hats and bald heads broke up, we did not bring these relatively heavy equipment , It's too late to regret now.

At this moment, Cyclops suddenly couldn't help swearing, so the flashlight he was holding in his mouth immediately fell down, and the ball of light fell down suddenly. Due to its small size, it only emitted a very small amount of light. With a plop, he fell into the water.Then the place where the Cyclops was was became pitch black.

Our flashlights had limited range, so the Cyclops disappeared from the sight of the three of us.

I couldn't help but wonder, what did he see just now that made him lose his composure?Harichagai frowned, and said loudly: "Old Zhang, what's the matter?" He had stayed in my shop for a while before, and he was very familiar with Cyclops.

Unexpectedly, after Harichagai finished asking, Cyclops did not answer, and there was silence all around. Before I could react, there was a muffled sound in the darkness, followed by a plop, obviously something fell into the water.The sound was relatively loud, and obviously it couldn't be something like a flashlight. I immediately realized that the one-eyed dragon might have fallen into the water.

Damn, what's going on?

I knew there was something strange in my heart, and immediately took the gun in my hand. At the same time, there was a clear sound of water in my ears, as if something was splashing in the water.Accompanied by this burst of thumping, there was also the intermittent voice of Cyclops: "Fuck...there is... ah..." in the water, before the unclear sentence was finished, accompanied by the last scream, the thumping sound The voices of Cyclops and Cyclops disappeared suddenly.

Depend on!
I couldn't bear it anymore, stuffed the flashlight into my mouth, then put the gun on my shoulder, and immediately walked along the route that Cyclops had taken before.The iron chain is rough, and it seems that something is still smeared on the surface, so far there is no trace of rust, and the tentacles are cold.There is a basic mesh structure between the iron cables, and the iron chains are stretched relatively straight, so the range of shaking is not very large when stepped on.I held the iron chain with both hands, and landed at the junction of the chain's mesh structure. Although it was not easy, the speed was not slow.

When I got to the position where Cyclops was before, I realized why he lost his composure just now.

This distance is about 15 meters away from the two lazy people standing on the edge of the passage. From this position, the lazy people's eyes are also resting on me.And turn your eyes to the left, that is, the water surface on the left, and you can see more floating objects.

If we were unable to see the specific appearance of the floating objects at the entrance of the passage, then when we reached this position, those floating objects became very clear under the light.

At this moment, my light happened to hit one of the floaters.It is oval in shape, about 1.4 meters five in length, and about 90 centimeters in width. It looks like a big cocoon, and under the light, the cocoon also presents a silky translucent texture.

Through this thin layer of 'cocoon', I can see that there is a black shadow in the cocoon, which is a black shadow in the shape of a human being. It is only about the size of a ten-year-old child, and its body is tightly attached to the cocoon. It is the most terrifying What's more, the black shadow inside is still moving.As if disturbed by my light, the shadow's face was pressed against the cocoon.The hand struggled to get out, I was very suspicious, the thing inside would pierce the white cocoon the next moment.

What's inside?
Corpse?

How can the corpse move?

Could it be the dead body that was blown up?
Could it be that these cocoons are filled with corpses?

Under the ancient city of swallowing silkworms, there is an underground world somehow, and in this underground world, there are these strange human cocoons?

My brain is a little confused, and I don't know what is going on with these human cocoons. The most urgent thing is the safety of the one-eyed dragon.I looked away from the cocoons and immediately scoured the water for signs of Cyclops.

Unfortunately, apart from those floating cocoons, where is the shadow of the one-eyed dragon?
Where has he gone?
Cyclops' skill is not bad, I don't believe that he stepped on the ground and fell into the water just now, he must have been attacked by something.But I'm in the air right now, I can't go up to the sky, I can't go down to the ground, what can sneak attack from this position?
I couldn't help looking at those cocoons, and turned on the lights one by one.Then I immediately realized that these cocoons were of different sizes, and almost all of them were human-shaped black shadows, but most of the black shadows did not move, curled up quietly.

I can't help wondering whether this is some kind of peculiar burial custom in the ancient Shu Kingdom.For example, use things to fill people up, and then let them float on the water. As for the black shadow moving in the cocoon, maybe I can regard it as a fried rice dumpling?

At this time, Harichagai at the entrance of the passage couldn't wait to ask me what happened, but I didn't have time to answer him now.

At this moment, my flashlight shone on one of the big cocoons, and then I discovered that there was a big hole on one side of the cocoon.Now, water was pouring into the hole, so the cocoon was about to sink.

I immediately realized a creepy thing.

This cocoon was broken not long ago, otherwise the water wouldn't just start to enter now.

A picture automatically appeared in my mind, that is, the picture of the one-eyed dragon having an accident.He first saw a lot of floating white cocoons, and then, the black shadows in the cocoons rushed out, that's why he cursed a word, causing the flashlight in his mouth to drop.

In the dark, he immediately became vigilant, so he did not answer Harichagai's question at that time.

At the same moment, the thing coming out of the cocoon attacked him, causing him to fall into the water.

Cyclops understands water, so it is impossible for him to just thump in the water. The only possibility is that he was caught by something at the time, so he couldn't use water, so he formed the thumping of ordinary people when they drowned. sound.

And if as expected, the one-eyed dragon was probably taken away by something that came out of the cocoon.

How is he doing now?This question crossed my mind.

Is he dead or alive?Is the zongzi in the cocoon or something else?Could it be that the one-eyed dragon was killed and sank to the bottom of the water?
While I was thinking about this question, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw that the big cocoon I saw for the first time had a hole in it. At the same time, a dry black and slender hand , saved from the cocoon.

That hand reminds me of 01's tentacles, they are surprisingly similar.

Is this how 01 came about?

Of course, this idea was only in my mind for a moment. This is not the first time I have encountered such a weird situation. Experience tells me that it is better to act first.Therefore, the moment I saw this hand coming out, my first reaction was to load it, and then shoot at the big callus.

This is a small charge. Originally following Team Liu, they didn't have these equipments. These powerful things were brought by Lazy and Harichagai.This shot was a burst of shooting, and in an instant, the big cocoon was torn apart by me, and the thing that hadn't crawled out of the cocoon also froze.Since the distance is not far, I can clearly see that the thing has been hit by bullets.

I'm not sure if it's the same thing as the 01, if so then bullets won't work for it.

But fortunately, under my violent attack, the thing sank to the bottom of the water, only two bubbles emerged.

After a series of gunshots, the surface of the water returned to calm, and my tiger's mouth was already numb.As for Harichagai and the others, they couldn't wait for my reply at the entrance of the cave, so the lazy people simply put on the chains.While I was shooting, he had already come to my side, seeing everything clearly.

With the insight of a lazy guy, he clearly understood the situation in front of him.

There was deathly silence around, and after a while, Ha Richagai's scolding sounded: "Tiger Luopingyang was bullied by dogs, what happened, you two should make a noise." The red-haired man was usually smiling, He looked like he didn't care if the sky fell, relying on his own ability, he had always been fearless.This time I learned the Tao of 01, and now I am weak and sickly sitting on the ground. In desperation, the smiling mask has also faded, and I am greeting my lazy ancestors.

However, I am too in the mood to pay attention to him now, staring at the dark water surface, I said: "Zhang Sheng is gone."

The lazy man supported the iron chain in one hand, and held a black machete in the other, and asked me: "Well, he may be dead." He pointed out the greatest possibility so calmly, which made me smile wryly. Followed by some trembling.It's not that I'm afraid, I, Chen Xuan, have killed people, chopped zongzi, dug graves, and seen ghosts, so I have nothing to be afraid of, but as soon as I think that something may happen to the one-eyed dragon, I feel angry inside.I couldn't tell what the gas was, but it made it hard for me to breathe.

Damn it, is there another person who is going to be killed by me?
I thought this time I was just looking for the eye of the sky, and there would not be too much danger.

Could it be that as long as people close to me have a relationship with me, will they be unlucky in the end?
At first it was Xiao Jing, she was turned into a messenger by Fatty Lin, and then Tofu, he met the corpse fairy, and almost all my close relatives around me gradually fell into a strange circle, a dangerous circle.

damn it.

damn it……

It's a damn scam!

The damned curse!

Where did it come from?
