The Strongest Iron Triangle of Tomb Raiders

Chapter 390 Climbing Trees
This huge bronze tree with a diameter of [-] meters stands in the hollow mountainside like a sea needle.

Ming Li, Chen Yulou, and Partridge Whistle walked around the bronze tree in amazement.

It is hard to imagine how this bronze tree stands here and who made it.

Could it be that gods really existed in the world, and this bronze tree was handwritten by ancient gods?

Incredible, so incredible.

Standing under the bronze tree and looking up, I feel how small I am.

It's a pity that the system space is not big enough, otherwise, Ming Li would want to take this bronze tree back into the system space.

"It's Nai's, casting such a big bronze tree in the mountains, what a masterpiece."

"Second brother, fourth brother, we all thought that those ancient mines were left over from ancient jade mines. Now it seems that it is not just for mining jade mines. The real purpose is very likely to dig this plant. The bronze sacred tree hidden in the mountainside."

"Ancient bronze wares can be roughly divided into food vessels, wine vessels, water vessels, weapons, musical instruments, and sacrificial vessels. There is no doubt that this bronze sacred tree is an ancient sacrificial vessel."

This bronze tree was placed in the middle of the mountain, so you don't need to think about it, it must be a bronze vessel used for sacrifice.

As for what kind of sacrificial activities would use such a large sacrificial vessel, Ming Li, Chen Yulou, and Partridge Whistle were also very curious.

This thing is too old and has completely exceeded their cognition.

Could it be that this thing is really an artifact used to communicate with the gods of heaven and earth?

"Zizizi..."

"Hey, Nana, there is electricity on this bronze tree!"

Chen Yulou curiously stroked the trunk of the rough bronze tree covered with cloud and thunder patterns, but he didn't expect an electric current to go straight into his body along his fingers, making his electric arm numb.

On the bronze tree, there is actually a current, and the power is still very large.

"Second brother, third brother, let's climb up the bronze tree and have a look."

Ming Li took out three pairs of rubber insulating gloves from the system space.

It came out of the box, but I didn't expect it to come in handy.

With rubber insulating gloves, you are not afraid of the electric current on the bronze tree.

After the three of them put on rubber insulating gloves, they climbed up the trunk of the bronze tree.

The surface of the bronze tree is relatively rough, with many branches and vines extending, which is very easy to climb.

"Second brother, fourth brother, look at the connection between these branches and the trunk. The interface is flawless and there is no trace. These branches are forged together with the trunk, right?"

"Nano, who knows."

"If it was forged in one piece, it would be a miracle."

After climbing the bronze tree, the three of them observed many details that could not be seen under the tree.

There is no trace of splicing between the branches and the trunk, as if the whole bronze giant tree was cast in one piece.

is it possible?

Forging such a large and complex bronze giant tree at one time would not be possible even a hundred years later, let alone thousands of years ago.

Could it be that prehistoric civilization really existed on the earth, and this giant bronze tree is actually a product left over from prehistoric civilization?

"Third brother, fourth brother, the gaps in the tree trunks of you."

"Blood?"

"That's right, it's blood."

On the trunk of the bronze giant tree, there is a gap, carved on the trunk of the bronze tree like an aqueduct.

In this gap, there is a black color, which is the color of oxygen after the blood dries up.

"Nano, could this gap be used for bloodletting?"

"pretty close."

"The sacrifices of the ancients are so cruel."

This bronze tree is an ancient sacrificial vessel with a blood trough on the trunk.

One can imagine the scene of the ancients offering sacrifices at that time, hanging the sacrifices above the bronze tree, and the blood of the sacrifices flowed down the blood grooves on the trunk until the blood of the sacrifices dried up and turned into a mummified corpse.

"Zhizhizhi..." At this time, Xiaohong, the corpse king crawling on Ming Li's shoulder, screamed.

"Second brother, third brother, shh." Ming Li signaled Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle to be quiet.

"Nai Nai, there are things coming towards us, and there are quite a few of them." Chen Yulou pulled out Xiao Shenfeng.

Those are weird giant faces, I don't know what they are.

The speed of this thing was very fast, and it reached the eyes of the three of them in the blink of an eye.

"What is this?"

While speaking, Partridge Whistle took out the box cannon and fired two shots, directly blasting the two weird things,
"Who knows what the hell this is."

The little god-pointer in Chen Yulou's hand stuck into the face of the gigantic face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and kicked the thing off the bronze tree, and fell to the bottom of the pit and turned into a pulp.

"die!"

Ming Hong's knife slashed across, and directly chopped off the heads of the two strange things.

Within a few minutes, no fewer than fifty monsters died in the hands of the three of them.

However, the number of these things is too much, and it is not the same as killing them.

"Made, Lord Ming doesn't have time to play house with you." Qinglong's blood was fully activated, and a wave of dragon power filled the entire space in the mountainside. The monster's attack stopped instantly, and it turned around and fled into the cracks around the mountainside in a panic.

Many monsters were so frightened that their legs and feet became weak, and they fell straight down without standing still. Some were lucky enough to survive and ran away as if they got up and escaped. Some were unlucky and fell into the bottom of the well tens of meters away. Dropped on a bronze branch to be pierced.

"monkey?"

"It's actually a monkey, a monkey wearing a mask?"

"what's the situation?"

After the monster escaped, Ming Li, Chen Yulou, and Partridge Whistle carefully inspected the monster's corpse hanging on the bronze branch.

After verifying their identity, the three of them were quite surprised. These monsters were actually monkeys, but these monkeys were all wearing stone human-face masks. At first glance, they did look like monsters with human faces.

"Strange, second brother, fourth brother, who put the masks on these monkeys' faces, and there are no holes for eyes or mouths on the masks. How do they usually see the road and eat?"

"Who knows."

No one knows who raised these monkeys, who put masks on them, and how they usually eat.

The three of them didn't bother to continue to care about the situation of the monkeys, and continued to climb up the bronze trunk.

The higher you go, the denser the branches and vines of the Bronze Tree become. After climbing up for a while, the rock walls around the Bronze Tree also change obviously, and natural stalactite piles appear.

Obviously, the upper part is a naturally formed cave, while the lower part is dug out by manpower.

After reaching this section, the rock wall above began to shrink, and caves of different sizes began to appear on the rock wall.

Above the heads of the three, many masked monkeys appeared.

It's just that these monkeys are all dead, their hands and feet are stuck in the dense branches, and they are turned into mummified corpses by the wind, looking weird and distorted.

The mummy monkey was facing down, staring at the three of them in a daze, which made people feel uncomfortable all over.

"Nanai's, third brother, fourth brother, why do I feel like these monkeys are still alive?"

"Second brother, fourth brother, I feel the same way."

"No, there is something wrong with the mask on the monkey's face, these masks are alive!"

These monkeys have all turned into mummies, giving Ming Li, Chen Yulou, and Partridge Whistle the feeling that this thing is still alive. The feeling of being targeted cannot be faked.

Just now they didn't carefully check the condition of the masked monkeys, but now they saw the dry corpses of the monkeys above their heads, and found that the masks on the monkeys' faces were actually alive. This feeling of being targeted came from A mask on a monkey face!

Made, this is Gu!

No one in this world knows the art of witchcraft better than Ming Li. The masks on these monkeys' faces are actually a kind of Gu.

Ming Li took off the mask on one of the monkeys, and finally saw the so-called mask clearly.

This mask is actually a weird bug. Half of the bug's body is directly inserted into the monkey's throat, and it just parasitizes in the monkey's mouth, controlling the thinking of these monkeys.

After the monkey died, these Gu worms would not die, and they would parasitize other monkeys.

However, this kind of Gu worm does not have much attack power, what is scary is the parasitic ability of this kind of Gu worm.

Once parasitized by this guy, it's basically just for fun, and the end will be the same as these dry monkeys.

Ming Li threw the masked worm casually, and the three of them continued to climb up for a certain distance.

After crossing the dried monkey corpses, the three of them discovered that there were tens of thousands of bug masks hanging densely on the bronze branches above.

These bug masks made ghostly screams, and one of the masks fell off the bronze branch and rushed towards the face of Ming carp in the front.

This guy actually wanted to parasitize on him.

Naturally, Ming Li wouldn't let the thing that doesn't open his eyes succeed. Ming Hongdao slashed out with a single knife, and the invisible knife intent directly pulverized the mask into powder.

"Woooooo..."

Numerous masks fell off the bronze branches and jumped towards the three of them.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Nano's, die!"

"Made, get out of here!"

Tens of thousands of faces pounced on them, and these guys slapped their faces specifically, trying to insert them into their mouths.

Just by killing, you can't finish killing all at once, and you have to always be on guard against being parasitized by this thing.

Ming Li directly activated the Qinglong bloodline, and the group of masked worms felt the coercion from the depths of their souls, and fled into the surrounding caves.

"Second brother, third brother, are you okay?"

"I am fine."

"Nano, I almost got caught in the mouth by this thing."

Partridge whistled a box cannon to start a long-range attack, and these masks couldn't get close to him at all.

Chen Yulou is just a small sharpie. Although he is good at lightness, it is not easy to deal with so many masks swarming up. He was almost parasitized by this thing several times. Fortunately, he is good at skills. Those who want to trick him In the end, he sent all the masked Gu worms to meet Lord Yan.

After driving away these human face Gu worms, the three continued to climb up.

The three discovered that on the cliff above, there were actually some man-made plank roads.

On some smooth rock walls, there are actually murals and written narratives.
