Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 114 The Dragon
People have selfish motives, so I grabbed the seat ahead of everyone, and immediately let Tofu and Gu Wenmin go up first, and when they climbed up the rope, Lu Su also climbed up.Just as Feng Guishou and the woman surnamed Ren wanted to grab the rope, I grabbed the rope and said, "Line up."

Soon, our group hung on the rope like a bunch of candied haws, and we tried our best to climb up, and we were about to reach the top. God suddenly made a joke for us, only listening to the silent space, Suddenly there was a strange sound.The voice was dull, as if it came from hell, deafening and numbing.

Lu Su took a deep breath, his voice changed a little, and he said in surprise: "It's Longyin! That thing came out!"

Accompanied by this burst of sound, the entire mountain vibrated violently as if it had suffered a huge impact suddenly.

This time the vibration was more violent. I just felt that the rope in my hand was not in control, and my feet on the mountain wall shook with the rocks, shaking like chaff. Immediately afterwards, Tofu exclaimed: "It's not good. ...the rope...!" But seeing the violent shaking of the mountain, the rope was swaying, and seeing that it was about to break in the next second, in desperation, everyone quickly let go of one hand, looking for a place around them where they could climb.

The rocks here are uneven and easy to climb, and thanks to Tofu's quick reminder, everyone found a place to stay just a second before the rope broke. The group of people was like a gecko, holding on to the rocks firmly, not daring to move.

The dragon-like sound just now rang out only once, and then there was no more movement, but the whole mountain trembled more and more violently as if it had been hit by a huge impact.

At this moment, I suddenly felt a darkness above my head, as if there was something huge blocking it, and everyone couldn't help but look up in unison, and they were terrified when they saw it.It turned out that the statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva fell down under the shock. The giant statue with a height of more than ten meters fell down instantly, but because the base was too large, it got stuck on the top, forming an upside-down The giant Buddha above our heads blocked most of the exits.

Feng Guishou cursed harshly.

Originally, we only needed to work harder to climb up, and we could climb out directly, but now the statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva blocked the middle position, so we had to make a way to climb to the entrance next to the Bodhisattva statue.It would be easy if there were ropes, but the problem is that we don’t have ropes, and the mountain vibrates very violently. Even if we move a little, there is a risk of falling again, not to mention moving left and right on the rocks.

The statue of the Golden Essence Bodhisattva fell down, and the faces of the people were not to mention ugly.

Tofu lay on the top, and I could see his little butt when I looked up. I only heard Tofu say, "This Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is against us. It doesn't fall sooner or later, but it happens at this time."

Because the image is relatively huge, after falling down, the body is very close to us, with the head upside down, and a small platform is formed between the chin and the neck. At this moment, the vibration of the mountain body is getting stronger and stronger, and I can't even grasp it. Live, let alone tofu and Gu Wenmin.Thinking about this, I said to everyone: "Come to this Bodhisattva statue to take shelter first." After I finished speaking, I crawled towards the Bodhisattva's chin. of.

Seeing this, the rest of the people immediately jumped on the statue of Bodhisattva. In less than ten seconds, we stood behind the Bodhisattva's chin, stood on the edge and looked down. The water under the abyss seemed to be half boiled. Keep turning over the giant flowers, push the waves, one layer is higher than the other, I believe it will not be long before the water will overflow the abyss.

Gu Wenmin looked a little flustered, and said, "Could the voice just now be really a dragon? My God, why did it come here?"

Lu Su stared closely at the water below, and suddenly said: "Be careful, they are coming up."

they?

As soon as he spoke, everyone looked down at the same time, but saw countless underwater monsters with eight arms on the stone wall below, climbing up like dwarf underwater monsters.They have many claws, so they climb up more stably and quickly.I immediately understood in my heart that there must be something powerful under the water, and these things were scared and ran for their lives.

Listening to that voice just now, could it be that evil dragon?
After it swallowed Wei and Nanjing, did it swim to here along the underground river?

It doesn't go to so many places, why does it come here?What is it about this place that attracts it?Could it be related to the Zhenhai Stone again?
The few of us speculated constantly, while preparing our weapons, waiting for the things below, once they approached, and there was any change, we fought bloody with them. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a star suddenly appeared in the tumbling water. Huge black head!

That head is big enough, with a diameter of at least five or six meters, two huge eyes, like two yellow lights, and two pitch-black horns on both sides of the head, what is it if it is not a legendary dragon!
It is the first time we have seen this thing, the shock can not be described in words, just like watching a 3D movie, looking at the faucet in the water, suddenly spit out a powerful water column on the rock, and the rock crawled Being hit by the strong current, they screamed like donkeys, and fell into the water one by one.

After they fell into the water, before they could stabilize their bodies in the water, the faucet opened its mouth wide and swiped in the water, sweeping the eight-armed monsters floating on the water into its mouth without chewing.

We were terrified looking at the Bodhisattva statue, and Tofu's legs were shaking like sifting chaff. He sat down on his buttocks and tremblingly said, "Isn't his appetite better?"

Gu Wenmin's originally pink lips were bloodless at the moment, her lips were trembling, her eyes were fixed on the dragon at the bottom of the water, her footsteps had already started to retreat, but she only panicked for a moment, suppressed her strong panting, and said in a low voice: " Hide and not be discovered by it." If it is a zongzi or a monster, the few of us can still fight.

But what is that?That is Jiaolong!The few of us are not enough to treat it as a snack. In front of it, let alone fighting, it is difficult to stand up.

When Gu Wenmin said this, everyone didn't dare to stand on the edge any longer, they quickly retreated and fell down on the ground, for fear of being discovered by Jiaolong.

I'm on the edge, so out of the corner of my eye, I can glimpse what's going on below.I saw that the dragon probably didn't have enough to eat, the dragon's head got into the water again, vaguely saw countless shadows running around under the water, but they were swallowed by the giant dragon in the end.The underwater monster that almost killed me and Lu Su before, is as helpless as the cub of a wild beast in front of it.

This thing is very greedy, even the fish and shrimp are not spared. It is estimated that it has been sleepy for hundreds of years, and it is ready to eat to its full.

The water in the abyss was still rising. Although the evil dragon did not appear, its huge figure formed a black shadow at the bottom of the water, and it was difficult to ignore it.

After a while, the evil dragon probably ate up all the underwater things, and then popped up again, with huge yellow eyes, as if they had real substance, looking at this gloomy cave, as if they were checking their surroundings. Said: how my home has changed.

That Jiaolong used to live here, probably at the juncture of his deep sleep, he was suppressed by the people who built the mausoleum with the Corpse Raising Bureau. After releasing this thing, it must have a lot of resentment in its heart.This is the time of the manic eclipse, and if it finds out, we're doomed.

Everyone held their breath and focused, not daring to move at all, only looking forward to where the dragon came from and where to go back after eating, but there was no movement for a long time.

We lay on top of the golden statue and looked at each other. For a while, we didn't know if the evil dragon had left. After a while, I could only bravely poke my head out and look down.When I looked at it, I saw that the dragon's huge body was swimming leisurely in the water, and it had no intention of leaving at all. Then, it didn't know whether its body was itchy or something, and it suddenly started to hit the surrounding rocks with its body The impact of it is like shaking the earth, the rocks cracked for a while, and those stones fell on it, but it was completely unmoved, just like fishing for an itch, our scalps exploded.

With its impact, the surrounding mountains also began to vibrate at a speed visible to the naked eye. The few of us dared not speak loudly, and couldn't think of a way to escape from the entrance for a while, so we were sweating all over our faces.

There is an old saying that a house leak happens to rain all night, and this is true.

The few of us were anxious like ants on a hot pot, when we heard a creak, and then the huge Bodhisattva statue began to fall down again. The edge of the mountain that was stuck on the Bodhisattva statue was broken, and the Bodhisattva statue immediately fell down again. After a while, the few of us also followed down, our bodies flew into the air, and fell heavily behind the chin of the Golden Essence Bodhisattva statue.

Gu Wenmin looked up, and saw that the statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had already shown a slanted posture. If the evil dragon hit it like this again, the rocks would crack, and the whole statue of Ksitigarbha would fall into the water. In this way, the only one we have His place of refuge is gone.

What should I do?
In the current situation, there is no extra time for us to think about it. I am afraid that if we let that evil dragon bump into it three or five times, the colossus will fall down completely.

My heart was cold, but my fiery brain slowly calmed down. I looked at the pale Tofu, and then at Gu Wenmin. I couldn't help but took a deep breath, and I had an idea in my heart. Its attention is distracted, you take advantage of the gap, climb up the image, and run for your life."

Tofu was shocked and said, "Then what do you do!"

I said, "No wonder the Liuhun Bridge didn't harm me before, I probably already expected it to happen."

Tofu's eyes turned red instantly, and with an angry face, he said in a hoarse voice: "In your heart, am I just a coward who will sacrifice my brother and run for my own life? Chen Xuan, you bastard, you are like a dog on weekdays and do all kinds of evil. What a hero! No!"
