Tomb Raiders: Beginning Qinglong Bloodline

Chapter 55 Chapter 55
The raft came down the current, and at first it was quite smooth.

The water in the river channel was cold to the touch. In the clear river channel, several people could still see shadows flashing by from time to time, which were some fish or water snakes.

As we went deeper into the tunnel, every time the searchlights were turned on, there would be a sound of inhalation of several people.

Few people entered this underground tunnel, and it was closed for hundreds of years before.It still maintains the most primitive and natural style.

There are many kinds of stalactites inside.Some look like benign Buddha statues, some look like ferocious beasts, and so on.For a moment, several people were amazed by the sight in front of them.

Only Ye Haochu knew that the beauty in front of him would not last long.

A little further ahead, it's a truly scary place.

The raft continued to move forward, and soon the searchlight illuminated a huge stalactite in front of it.

This stalactite looks as high as several floors.

The shape looks like a huge animal head from the ancient barbaric era, and it is opening its bloody mouth.

The gigantic beast is so lifelike, its ferocious aura can be felt hundreds of meters away.

The underground river just flows into the mouth of this huge beast head.

The stalactites in the mouth of the giant beast are like the teeth of the giant beast.The mouth of the giant beast is like the gate to hell, devouring everything.

What made Hu Bayi, Fatty and Yang Xueli even more horrifying was that, under the illumination of the searchlight, one could see figures hanging upside down behind the huge animal heads.

"I'll go, there won't be a hanged ghost in front, right?" the fat man said at this moment.

"What a hanged ghost! Don't talk nonsense!"

After they left, everyone looked carefully for a while, only then did they realize that these figures hanging upside down were actually figurines.

"This is a figurine, and it's made of a living person." Ye Haochu said at this moment.

"It's made by a living person? It's so cruel!"

Yang Xueli nodded in agreement when she heard the words.

Before setting off, Yang Xueli had studied in detail the records of offering kings in the ancient Dian kingdom.

King Xian was the witch king of Dian Kingdom in ancient times, and he was best at all kinds of witchcraft and sorcery.The most famous of these is qi surgery.

The so-called witchcraft is witchcraft performed using the spirit of the dead as a medium.

And the more painful the death of the undead, the greater the power of the killing technique.

After Yang Xueli looked at it for a while, she quickly deduced that these figurines should be the product of scrotum.

It is to tie people up, pour them with yin, and then use special materials to seal the seven orifices of the person's body.

After processing, these people were hung upside down on the copper chains at the top of the cave.Those who are then hung up will be suffocated to death.

The so-called slugs are actually the eggs of slugs.

These eggs hatch in the human body and turn into worms, devouring the flesh and blood in the human body.

The gnats hollowed out the human body bit by bit, and finally only the human skin and shell remained.

Because the seven orifices of the corpse are sealed, the worms inside are in a state of near vacuum, so they will not continue to grow, but start to sleep.

That is to say, the ones hanging in these caves are all human skin figurines.

After Hu Bayi and Fatty listened to Yang Xueli's description, when they looked at the hanging human skin figurines, they felt goose bumps on their bodies.

"Then let's go quickly and stay away from these hanged ghosts." The fat man urged at this time.

Then Hu Bayi and Fatty rowed the raft vigorously, trying to cross the river full of figurines as soon as possible.

The speed of the raft is getting faster and faster.Walk forward about a few hundred meters, and you can see that there are no figurines on the top of the cave.

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief after watching it, when they felt the raft shake violently. , and then returned to normal, and then heard the sound of metal stirring in the river, and the four of them felt bad at the same time.

"Lao Ye, what was the sound just now?"

"It should be that we have touched the underwater mechanism." Ye Haochu said.

The fat man immediately scolded after hearing the words: "Xian Wang is an old bastard, he is not safe to live after death, watch me enter his tomb, and don't dump all his treasures."

When the fat man greeted Xian Wang's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart, the four of them heard the sound of plopping and plopping coming from the section of the river they just passed.

Like something fell into the water.

The four of them are all smart people, and they still don't understand what's going on.

This plop plop sound was clearly the sound of the figurines falling from the copper chain into the water just now.

"Not good, those figurines just now are going to turn into water ghosts to throw us off the raft."

After the fat man finished speaking, he immediately picked up the pistol.

However, several people shone their flashlights on the river behind them, and after half a day, there was no movement at all.

"Hurry up, whether there is any danger or not, let's leave as soon as possible." Hu Bayi said.

After hearing Hu Bayi's words, the fat man put down his pistol, and quickly raised the penny.

At this time, Ye Haochu pointed to the water behind the raft.

"Look!"

When Hu Bayi and the others heard the words, they shone their flashlights behind them.

Suddenly, many bubbles appeared on the relatively calm water surface just now.These bubbles are like boiling water.

Soon the light of the flashlight hit the figurines suspended in the river.The ones that just fell from the top of the cave.

The human skin figurines, which were originally dry and black, were soaked in the river water and began to slowly crack.

The facial features that were blurred and indistinguishable before, are now beginning to be seen clearly.

It turns out that the human figurines were covered with mud all over their facial features.

When hanging on the top of the cave, the mud was relatively dry.Now soaked in water, all fall off.

The facial features on the figurine's face are clear, but they are particularly distorted, with expressions of extreme pain.

Then came an even more terrifying scene.

The cracks on the figurines suspended in the river began to gradually expand.The bodies began to inflate like balloons.After finally reaching the critical point, the entire corpse exploded underwater.

From the corpse's eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and those cracks and holes, countless insect eggs gushed out.

After the eggs reach the water, they immediately start to swell and become bigger and bigger.Then the water hog wasp drilled out of the eggs.There are little finger-like fins growing on both sides, and the swimming speed is extremely fast, and they all swim towards the bamboo raft at high speed.

At this time, Fatty Hu Bayi and Yang Xueli on the raft had already seen the underwater scene clearly.

"Water hornet!"

Both Fatty and Yang Xueli didn't quite know what a water hornet was. After Hu Bayi yelled, he explained the power of a water hornet to the two of them.

In the end, I did not forget to comfort everyone. Although the water hornet also has the character bee, it cannot fly.

But the number of these water hornets is really too much!
Thousands of water hornets can emerge from a figurine, and there are hundreds of figurines that fell into the water from the top of the cave.

There are at least hundreds of thousands of water hornets in the water.

Ye Haochu looked at these water hornets, then took out 2 special flamethrowers from his backpack, handed them to Hu Bayi and Fatty, and said, "Take these for you two!"

The two subconsciously took it, and the fat man was overjoyed when he found out that it was a flamethrower: "Lao Ye, you really have it. Now that you have this thing, are you afraid of these bees?"

Ye Haochu said, "Old Hu, fat man, you two use the flamethrower to deal with the water hogs behind, and let Xueli and I row the bamboo raft instead."

The two nodded. To be honest, they were quite tired after paddling for so long. Then Fatty Hu Bayi took the flamethrower and fired at the water hornets chasing the bamboo raft behind. The water hog was completely burnt.

Looking at the scorched water hornets behind him, the fat man shouted: "Hahaha, cool! See if you dare to chase after the fat man."

"Thanks to Lao Ye's flamethrower!" Hu Bayi sighed.

While speaking, the bamboo raft carried several people across the river full of figurines and into a larger cave.

This cave is as big as two football fields, and there is only one exit on the opposite side, and the water continues to flow from there.Ye Yangxueli looked at the compass, it was southwest, that is to say, the direction was correct, let the bamboo raft float there, and finally it would pass through the huge cave at the foot of Zhelong Mountain and flow into the Snake River.
