Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 181 Sneak Attack
This crypt is very narrow, just enough for one person to pass through, and it is not very easy to crawl in it and land on hands and feet. Since I am wearing a gas mask, is there any peculiar smell in the crypt? After climbing for a short time, I saw a fork that connected with each other.It seems that I was right, these burrows are really connected.

I was not sure which one to choose, so in the end I had to guess the direction where Gu Wenmin disappeared at that time, and climbed about 40 meters, and the cave in front of me showed signs of widening. At this moment, my A person appeared in sight.Who is that exquisite curve, but Gu Wenmin?
I was overjoyed, and quickly crawled over. While crawling, I paid attention to the movement ahead, worried that some monster would appear suddenly, but until I got to Gu Wenmin's side, nothing came out.I breathed a sigh of relief, and said to hurry up and get the person down first, but the place is narrow, and I can't use my hands and feet. It is impossible to carry or carry Gu Wenmin out, I can only drag her out. Of course, it is best if she can do it by herself get up and go.

I crawled to her side and called her name, but Gu Wenmin remained silent.I thought that she and Professor Lin had yelled before and then fell silent. I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, and I said to myself: Could it be that she has been murdered?Thinking of this, he hurriedly took off the gas mask on Gu Wenmin's face, checked his breath, and found that he was still alive, probably passed out.

I quickly pinched her, and called her name softly while pinching, this trick was very effective, Gu Wenmin's eyelids moved, and slowly opened his eyes, with a hoarse and weak voice, shouted: "Chen Xuan .”

I said: "Don't say anything now, do you have the strength, I can't carry you in this place, I have to leave by myself."

Gu Wenmin's beautiful brows frowned, and she struggled slightly to get up, but finally shook her head, breathless, and said, "It's 'Bi Xu'."

Bisu?I was startled, and said, "You said the monster who caught you was Bisu?"

Gu Wenmin nodded, and said weakly: "That weird face was separated from me by a mask at the time, so I can't mistake it. It has a tongue in its mouth, which can pierce into the flesh of a person. My neck was pierced. It stung and fainted, where is this?" As she spoke, she looked at the dark and narrow environment around her in a little panic.

I smiled wryly and said, "Probably Bisu's cave." Now I understand that there is probably no poisonous gas in the black box on the stone pillar, and that strange fragrance may be the source of attracting Bisu.Didn't Xu Fu build this place just to attract these Bixu to guard the underground palace?This trick is really insidious enough, I immediately went to look at Gu Wenmin's neck, sure enough, there was a big bump like a mosquito bite, but it was bigger, like a red lychee, on Gu Wenmin's snow-white neck , looked startling.

There seems to be something paralyzing on the tongue, Gu Wenmin can't move it, I can only say: "Then you endure a little pain, I can only drag you out." Gu Wenmin nodded firmly, with the corners of his mouth barely There was a trace of a smile, however, this trace of a smile, for some reason, suddenly condensed, Gu Wenmin's smiling eyes suddenly paused, staring at me behind her, her lips began to tremble a little.

How quick my mind was, I immediately realized that there was a situation behind me, and without saying a word, I fired a backhand shot with the gun I had already prepared.

"Bang!" There was a gunshot, and there was a creak behind me, and then some sticky liquid splashed on my neck.I scrambled forward, shot backwards as I went, and waited until the squeaking stopped before I had a chance to look back.At this moment, Gu Wenmin and I are very close to each other, and the gentle body temperature of the other party is transmitted through the thin clothes. Normally, this is definitely more distracting, but at this moment, we are close to each other and breathe together. Intertwined, but couldn't think about these charming things, but turned his head and stared at the back, there was a thing lying there, motionless, it seemed that I had been beaten to death.

If Gu Wenmin hadn't discovered it quickly enough just now, and my reaction was strong enough, I'm afraid I would have been stung by that thing without anyone noticing.

Gu Wenmin was pressed down by me, and probably couldn't breathe, so he pushed me with his weak hand, which made my consciousness calm down. I shouldn't waste time lying here when I met him, and wanted to back away, but that one is dead Something blocked the escape route.The front of the cave is relatively spacious and can be passed through, but I don't know where it leads. I hesitated whether to climb forward, but before I hesitated for too long, I heard another dull gunshot in my ear.

Due to the intersection of the caves, it is difficult to determine the location of the sound. It seems that one of the robots is also in danger.But I'm not worried about them, those four are professionally trained masters, I should be worried about how to get the weak Gu Wenmin out, until now, I can only push.

The road behind was blocked, so I decided to go from the front. After all, these caves are connected, and it won't take long before I can always find an exit.Unexpectedly, before I started to push Gu Wenmin forward, I suddenly discovered something.At the corner in front of the cave, a black and faint thing was exposed. In such a dim environment, if you don’t look carefully, you might miss it, but I was more vigilant, so I found it right away.

The swarthy thing twitched slightly, then remained motionless. Upon closer inspection, it was a tail covered with scales.I turned my head to look, and the thing that died on the ground also had such a tail!After a while, I broke out in a layer of cold sweat, thinking: these things can think, they are hiding behind the corner!Could it be that they wanted to sneak attack us?
If I hadn't noticed this section of black tail just now, if it hadn't happened to move, maybe I would have pushed Gu Wenmin directly past, if that's the case...

I can almost imagine that when Gu Wenmin and I crawled to that place, a 'Bisu' would suddenly pop out from the side.

The dead Bisu, because it was facing down, I couldn't see its appearance, but just recalling the paintings we saw in the wooden box at that time was enough to be horrifying.This thing looks more like a snake. Near the head, there are two slender, otter-like claws. The body is covered with scales. It looks weird. No wonder it is called a monster by the Fusang people.This thing is probably a unique "local product" of Fusang, and I have never heard of it in China.

Gu Wenmin followed my gaze and was also stunned. She obviously noticed it too, but she didn't speak, but indicated me with her eyes, what should I do.

I thought about it, hiding is not the solution, only recklessly.Bixu's attack method is to bite the prey and make it paralyzed. My whole body, only the neck is exposed, and I immediately said to Gu Wenmin, "I'll borrow your clothes, take them off quickly."

Gu Wenmin was shocked and said, "What are you going to do?"

I said, "I'll wrap my neck and go get rid of that thing." Even though Miss Gu is usually generous, she was a little dumbfounded at the moment, she opened her mouth and remained silent for a long time. I also knew that this request was a little too much, but Their lives are at stake, and mother-in-law and mother-in-law will die. Looking at the structure of this cave, you can tell that there must be a lot of bixiu. If we delay, they may gather together.

So I said: "It's a big deal, can I close my eyes?"

Seeing what I said, Gu Wenmin sighed, and said, "Take it off, don't close your eyes, and be careful." I was overjoyed, at such a dangerous moment, it would be nice to have some benefits, so I immediately went to take off her clothes, She was wearing a relatively thin shirt on her upper body. I unbuttoned it excitedly, and was dumbfounded when I unbuttoned half of it. I said, "Why is there another one inside?" less than.

Gu Wenmin looked calm, glanced at me, and said, "Prevent your nakedness."

I said, "Don't you feel hot wearing so much?"

Gu Wenmin said: "If you don't wear so much, you will feel hot."

I smiled, I didn't expect that she would joke with me, the atmosphere relaxed a little, I took off her outer shirt, wrapped it around her neck, pulled out the dagger at my waist, and crawled towards that direction.I got up to 12 points and concentrated my attention to the highest level. When I climbed to the corner, the thing jumped out suddenly.

This thing knew something was wrong, and immediately began to struggle. The snake-like slippery and chubby body was moving around under me. The touch made my skin crawl, and I didn't dare to delay. The other right hand was aimed at its neck. Just poked, stabbed twice, the thing finally stopped moving, and a burst of dark red blood flowed out from the neck.

Observing closely, I finally saw Bisu's face clearly. Although it is a bit ugly, it is not as scary as on the wooden box. The facial expression on the wooden box may have undergone some kind of artistic processing, so it makes people feel uncomfortable. It feels weird, but the one in front of me has no other feeling except that it is too ugly.

After finishing this one, I hurriedly dragged Gu Wenmin forward, probably the effect of paralysis had passed, after a while, she called herself to come, and slowly crawled behind me.Not long after, I noticed a downward hole ahead, which should be the exit on the top of the tomb wall.I prepared a rope on my body in advance, and immediately buckled the rope to the dagger, and then submerged the dagger completely into the cave.

The soil here is hard enough to bear the weight of a person.Immediately afterwards, I tied the rope to Gu Wenmin's body and sent her down first.

As soon as Gu Wenmin landed, Tofu immediately noticed the situation, and quickly ran over from the stone pillar to respond. I was about to go down the rope when I suddenly felt someone tap me on the shoulder.

How could there be someone behind me right now?

I was startled, and turned my head abruptly. At the same time, the gun was pointed at the back, but who knows, after I turned my head, there was no one behind.

That being the case, who took the picture of me just now?

Could it be an illusion that I have crawled in the crypt for too long?
