Tomb Raiders: Evacuate the Bronze Door

Chapter 22 Blood Licking, Mark of the Medicine Man (for further reading)

Everyone ran a few steps and stood in front of Shimen.

Zhou Fan raised his eyebrows and said:
"Corpse wax is generally obtained from corpses that have been soaked in water, or buried in well-watered, moist soil."

"The fat and minerals in the corpse will naturally condense into corpse wax after a long time."

The fat man sniffed, sniffed it back and forth, and said puzzledly:

"It's not damp at all here."

"Wu Erbai, Wu Sansheng, untie Lianhuan and the others, and fill the eye sockets of these statues with corpse wax."

"Is it equivalent to holding glue to block the keyhole of the door?"

Zhou Fan laughed and said:

"more or less."

Everyone looked at Wu Xie.

Zhou Fan and the younger brother waited for Wu Xie to open the door, while guarding against the "greedy dog" rats that might come flying out from any angle inside the robbery cave.

The fat man poohed his palm twice, and with an excited expression, he lit up Wu Xie with a black paper lantern in each hand.

Wu Xie suddenly felt a sense of pride that "this time it's finally my third master's turn to be the mainstay of the whole team".

With a clang, Wu Xie pulled out the sharp knife.

After taking a few deep breaths, Wu Xie made a cool move of "licking blood with a knife edge".

The little brother glanced at Wu Xie and said:

"Only use nine drops of blood from the tip of your tongue."

Zhou Fan hurriedly added a reminder:

"Pay attention to the amount of bleeding, Xiao Wu."

"Maybe you've got too much blood, and it may cause some other strange corpse changes."

The fat man scratched his head and asked:

"Don't just be handsome, naive, you don't care if you look at it like this. Is it really all right?"

Wu Xie's hand trembled.

Under the tense eyes of everyone, Wu Xie hissed his tongue, and raised the small knife flat to his eyes.

With a triumphant expression, Wu Xie pointed to the three small grooves on the side of the knife.

There was originally a sign of three plum blossoms there.

Wu Xie held her breath, stared at her eyes, and shook the hand holding the knife slightly back and forth.

The blood that flowed out from the tip of the knife immediately rolled into the petals of the plum blossom.

Exactly nine drops of blood.

Wu Xie smiled triumphantly, the small cut on the tip of his tongue still made him gasp.

The little brother looked at Wu Xie and praised:
"good."

The fat man hurriedly took out a small medicine bag from his backpack, and threw a small bag of ordinary hemostatic powder to Wu Xie.

The fat man urged anxiously:
"Innocent, hurry up! Quickly put the hemostatic powder on the little wound on the tip of your tongue!"

"If you are late... the wound will heal itself."

With a dark face, Wu Xie kicked the fat man falsely.

Zhou Fan smiled, took the knife in Wu Xie's hand, and flicked his finger.

clang.

Between the crowd and Shimen, the knife rolled back and forth dozens of times.

hum.

Wu Xie's nine drops of blood from the tip of his tongue were shaken into a blood mist.

Swish.

Tiny blood mist flew into the corpse wax in the eye sockets of those hideous figures.

Chi Chi.

The tongue-tip essence and blood in Wu Xie's body belonged to "the medicine man who has been passed down by the Wu family for thousands of years and is about to mature", and instantly melted the corpse wax.

Wu Xie's eyes widened in surprise.

In the blink of an eye, the blood mist mixed with corpse wax and flowed into the dark groove behind the eye sockets of the hideous figure.

In the mezzanine of the stone door, there was a slight sound of mechanism turning.

Both Wu Xie and Fatty became nervous.

The little brother moved his ears and said:

"fine."

The younger brother's voice did not fall.

The middle of the Shimen flipped over.

A statue of a disgusting bug that looked soft and boneless and entangled itself into a mess was revealed.

The worm's mouth was so huge that it seemed like a black hole, but there were countless sharp teeth growing in the mouth.

call.

A strong suction force came out from the mouth of the monster statue.

The strange white mist that originally pervaded the entire long and narrow robbery cave directly rolled back.

Zhou Fan, little brother, Wu Xie, Fatty, the four stood side by side against the dirt wall on one side.

Huhu.

The strange white mist rushed into the mouth of the worm statue with a whistling sound.

Just when everyone was full of curiosity and looked at everything in front of them.

Wu Xie suddenly screamed.

Everyone looked at Wu Xie warily.

I only saw Wu Xie's wrist, and I don't know why there suddenly appeared a blurry "tattoo" that looked like a ferocious dragon.

Along with those strange white mist, they were all swallowed into the secret passage inside the stone gate.

The ferocious dragon "tattoo" on Wu Xie's wrist created a blur of mist.

It seems that the ferocious dragon is riding the clouds and fog.

boom.

With a loud bang.

The stone gate that blocked the way before was retracted directly into the ground.

A dark and deep passage appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone looked at each other.

Wu Xie was stunned, staring back and forth at his wrist in shock.

The fat man looked at it seriously, and asked:

"Couldn't the thing on Tianzhen's body be made by a weird tattoo artist?"

"Does it mean that every 'medicine man' in their old Wu family has this thing on them?"

The little brother also looked carefully, shook his head, and said:

"Not sure yet."

The little brother looked at Wu Xie again and asked:

"Is there something wrong?"

With a dull and bewildered expression, Wu Xie frowned, patted his arms and legs, and felt it carefully and casually.

In the end, Wu Xie blinked in a daze, and said helplessly and depressedly:

"I don't feel anything wrong right now."

"But, the main reason is that I don't know what to 'feel'? I don't even know 'how to feel'?"

The little brother paused slightly, and didn't know how to explain it.

Zhou Fan scratched his head and comforted him:

"The thing on Xiao Wu's wrist appeared at this time, probably equivalent to an 'entry mark'."

"Didn't Wu Erbai's buddy say that in the depths of this hidden imperial tomb, there is a 'secret room' that should hide some powerful treasures."

"Perhaps only those who have this mark on their body can safely open the small door of the 'secret room'."

The fat man held his hand and said:
"It makes sense. If there is no naivety to lead the way, Xiao Zhou, you and my brother will probably find the place after smelling the smell of fat sheep."

"At most, it flattened the place, or triggered the self-destruct device."

At this time, Wu Xie showed his talent of "no matter what happens, he has a big heart", waved his hand and said:
"Whatever it is, aren't there fewer strange things that I have encountered in my life?"

"Such a cool and stylish way to open the door still makes me a little excited."

"Let's go, let's go to clear the fat sheep."

"It's like being washed through a sieve by so many people. I don't know what treasures are left for us."

Everyone carried black paper lanterns and continued walking along the dark passage.

The fat man let out a hey and said:

"Clear the fat sheep... hey, fat man, I'm almost a shepherd, right? Haha."

The crowd went all the way down, and walked down the dark winding robbery cave for nearly three hours.

Suddenly, everyone stopped.

A cliff cut off their path.

With the light of the black paper lanterns, everyone was able to illuminate an area of ​​tens of square meters nearby.

I saw a cliff in front of me who didn't know how deep it was, and there was a strange white mist churning inside.

Tens of meters away on the opposite side is a huge solid land, and some half-ruined buildings can be vaguely seen.

It's just that the distance is shrouded in darkness.

Everyone looked down at the cliff.

The fog inside was very thin, and with the light of the black paper lanterns, everyone could easily see a large number of rotting corpses piled up inside.

The bodies were old and new.

It was thrown away casually, as if being thrown away by someone.

Some of the corpses were not very decomposed and were still fresh.

Zhou Fan frowned slightly.

He noticed that all the corpses were covered with a layer of mucus that was like a plastic wrap, glowing with faint water.

Wu Xie opened his mouth, gestured to the opposite bank with his hand, and said very nervously:
"Is the rope we brought long enough?"

"Even if the rope is long enough, do you think I can climb over it?"

The younger brother lowered his eyes slightly and said:

"not long enough."
