Tomb Raiders: Beginning Qinglong Bloodline

Chapter 58 58 Hearing the ghost signal.

"Let's go on!"

Not long after walking out, several people felt the power of the subtropical jungle.

There is no road here at all, there are grasses as high as half a person everywhere, and vines grow everywhere.

If you want to move forward smoothly, you can only use a knife to chop off the branches of various trees and cut off the vines blocking the way.

These aren't the most annoying yet.

Mosquitoes in the forest and grass are the most exaggerated.

Everyone walking on the road could see big mosquitoes as big as finger joints from time to time.

Colorful variety of spiders.Strange insects on the tree.

The finger-sized mosquito swarm wanted to suck the blood of Ye Haochu and the others, but they fled after taking a bite.

After several people saw it, they all thought fortunately: Fortunately, they all ate dried unicorns, and the blood suppressed the mosquitoes a little.Otherwise, they must have been bitten to death by these mosquitoes before they reached the tomb of King Xian.

Along the way, these insects did not dare to approach the few people at all.

After Hu Bayi and Fatty, who were leading the way, understood, the former sighed all the way, and the latter also boasted all the way.

"It's getting dark, let's build a shed and rest for a night!"

After it got dark, several people chose to camp.

After all, starting from setting up the bamboo raft yesterday afternoon, and walking until it was dark today, Ye Hao was fine, but Hu Bayi and the others were mentally and physically exhausted.

The next few people chose to camp on the big bluestone under the two big trees.

Light a fire on the big bluestone and dry the surface of the stone, at least to ensure a dry and comfortable environment.

Ye Haochu's attention was on the surrounding environment, and he saw two tall and dense banyan trees beside the big bluestone.

These two big banyan trees are really conspicuous.They all look extremely stout.What's even more strange is that the trunks of the two big banyan trees actually started to intertwine at a height of one person, which looked like twisted twists.

Ye Haochu knew that this kind of tree had a name called husband and wife tree.

The top of the couple tree looks like a huge umbrella.

Moreover, many unrecognizable subtropical plants are parasitic on the thick trunk.

These parasitic plants are also exceptionally lush and full of colorful flowers.

Ye Haochu knew that these two trees were the couple's banyan trees in the original book.

Moreover, this huge banyan tree for husband and wife hides many secrets.

Several people set up a pot and cooked noodles while warming the fire.

No seasoning was added to the noodles, so that the aroma of the food would not attract any animals, and a few pieces of bait cakes were randomly soaked in the cooked noodles for dinner.

The fat man was so hungry that his chest stuck to his back. He took a bowl of noodles and started eating. After eating three bowls in a row, he complained: "This has no taste at all. The mouth has faded like a bird these days." , why don't we go hunt some wild game?"

"We don't know what's going on here, it's better not to go out." Hu Bayi refused.

The jungle at night is very dangerous, and all kinds of wild animals will come out to move around.It is extremely unwise to go hunting at night.

Ye Haochu smiled when he heard the words, took out a few cans of beef from his backpack and threw them to the fat man, and said, "Okay, let's eat this, it tastes like beef."

The fat man reached out to take it, his eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly, "Beef ones? Lao Ye understands me!"

Then Yang Xueli and Hu Bayi both ate canned beef, and there was no reason not to eat better ones!
After dinner, several people arranged the order of night duty.

Ye Hao waited until midnight.

After arranging the night duty order, Ye Haochu simply spread some hay on the burnt-dried big bluestone, lay down on the sleeping bag and fell asleep.

It was already midnight when Ye Haochu woke up.

Now it was Yang Xueli's turn to be on duty at night.

Yang Xueli was sitting by the campfire, with her chin in her hands, wondering what she was thinking.

Ye Haochu looked to the side again and the snoring was like thunder. Hu Bayi and Fatty were the kind of sleepers who couldn't be woken up by thunder.

Ye Haochu shook his head with a smile, and sat up slowly.

"Lao Ye, don't you want to continue to sleep for a while? It's not time to change shifts yet." Yang Xueli said caringly when she found out that Ye Hao had woken up.

Ye Haochu smiled, "It's okay, I'm not sleepy."

The two chatted with each other.

As time passed, the jungle at night became more and more silent.

At this moment, Ye Haochu's ears moved slightly, and he finally heard the long-awaited voice from above the big banyan tree.

At this moment, Yang Xueli's sleepy eyelids had already begun to fight.

Ye Haochu got up and pulled out the ancient black gold knife from behind.

Yang Xueli's sleepiness dissipated instantly after seeing it, and she didn't understand what Ye Haochu was doing.

Ye Haochu saw the questioning expression on Yang Xueli's face, and pointed to the big banyan tree next to him, and then pointed to his own ear.

Yang Xueli is also a vigilant person. Although she doesn't have the ear of a night watch dog like her grandfather's partridge whistle, her sense of hearing is much sharper than that of ordinary people.

In the quiet jungle in the middle of the night, there was a very clear knocking sound, and the source of the sound was the big banyan tree.

After hearing this, Shirley Yang's face turned pale.

The knock sounded very strange.

It is definitely not the sound made by any animal.

On the contrary, it seems that something is in the trunk of the big banyan tree, and it is constantly beating on the trunk.

Yang Xueli moved to Ye Haochu's side.

"The two couple trees must be hollow."

"This kind of banyan tree grows for many years, and the middle part will be absorbed by parasitic plants and rotted away."

"Could it be that some evil spirit is beating inside the tree trunk?"

During the daytime, at the foot of Zhelong Mountain, I saw many human figurines and the bones of the bandits trapped inside. Yang Xueli was obviously a little scared, and couldn't help leaning against Ye Haochu, feeling that only by his side could she feel safe.

At this time, Hu Bayi, who was sleeping by the campfire, also woke up.

Dazedly, Hu Bayi saw Ye Haochu and Yang Xueli sitting together, struggling to get up, and was about to ask.

Unexpectedly, both of them put their fingers on their lips at the same time.

Then Ye Haochu pointed to the big banyan tree opposite.

Within a minute, Hu Bayi's face also changed.

Apparently Hu Bayi also regarded the knocking sound as something evil.

"Lao Ye, there should be someone in Lao Hu's tree." After listening for a while, Yang Xueli finally said affirmatively, and at the same time clenched her pistol tightly.

Hu Bayi was taken aback when he heard the words, "Human? How do you know it's a human? Could it be an animal?"

Yang Xueli shook her head: "It's a person. Listen carefully, these knocking sounds are Morse code, three short, three long and three short, beep, beep, beep, beep..."

Hu Bayi was dumbfounded by Yang Xueli.

Ye Haochu knew it, and said, "Sign for help."

"Correct!"

Hearing this, the hairs on Hu Bayi's body stood on end.

"A distress signal? Isn't that someone trapped in a tree trunk?"

Yang Xueli shook her head, "There are so few people in this area that even the villagers outside Zhelong Mountain dare not come in. I'm afraid that the person calling for help in the tree trunk is not a human..."

"What is it if it's not a human?" Hu Yi asked, and then his face turned pale.

If it's not human, it can only be a ghost.

"No matter what it is, I'll just go up and have a look."

Of course Ye Haochu knew what was on the top of the tree canopy.

But he didn't expect to be stopped by Hu Bayi.

"Lao Ye can't go, this is probably a ghost signal."

Then Hu Bayi explained that when he was in the army, he had heard rumors about ghost signals.

It is said that the troops on the front line sometimes receive some strange radio signals, some are for help, some are warnings.

Sometimes the troops will think that the brother troops are trapped or something, but if they really go to search for support, even the troops that went to support will disappear.

Later, for some reason, it was rumored that these were signals from ghosts, especially to attract people.

Ye Haochu is not afraid of any ghosts, but Hu Bayi is also kind.

In the end, it was decided that Ye Haochu and Hu Bayi went up together, while Yang Xueli and Fatty stood guard under the tree.

When it was time to climb the tree, Ye Haochu climbed up first.

to the canopy.

"There is a wreckage of a plane in the tree!"
