Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 182 Siege (1)

Looking back, I didn't see anything strange. I couldn't help but wonder if I was too nervous and had some illusion.Seeing that I hadn't moved for a while, the Tofu people below kept waving and shouting at me, telling me to go down quickly. I twisted the rope, and when I was about to leave the cave, I was suddenly patted on the shoulder again.

This time it was definitely not a hallucination, because when I turned my head, I could see something on my shoulder.That thing didn't come up behind me, but from above my head.However, this cave is very narrow, and there is soil above me, so how could there be anything?
My heart skipped a beat, and while I was looking up, I pulled out the dagger. All this was done in an instant. Unexpectedly, before I could clearly see the situation above my head, a black shadow rushed towards me.It came down so suddenly, I backed up subconsciously, but I forgot that there was a downward passage behind me, this was a terrible situation, I fell from the hole upside down, and hit my head straight down.

At that moment, I heard the exclamation of the Tofu people below. You know, the top of the tomb is about 20 meters away from the ground. I will see the King of Hades directly.In an instant, many things flashed through my mind. At this moment, I realized that when I was dying, I neither thought about the curse of Wan Yaofei, nor thought about making a comeback.Two people flashed through my mind, one was Gu Wenmin and the other was Tofu. I found that I was reluctant to part with the person I liked and my brother.

All these thoughts were only in an instant, just when I thought I was going to fall, my brain was bursting and my head was bleeding, when my falling body was suddenly hit by something.This moment was not light, I heard a click, and then it was flying from the direction of falling to the side.Because the impact slowed down a lot, when I fell to the ground, although my whole body hurt, I didn't hurt my muscles or bones.I knew in my heart that someone had saved me just now. Under such an impact, they forcibly knocked me out. I was afraid that I would be safe and sound. It would be a disaster to save people.

I didn't care about the pain all over my body, so I quickly got up from the ground, looked to the side, and saw a person lying next to me, holding my hand and howling dryly, shouting: "It hurts to death, no, my hand is broken, How can I draw when my hand is broken." I knew that Tofu must have supported me with his hand just now, otherwise I would not be able to get up now.Looking at Tofu's appearance, there must be something wrong with my hand. I couldn't help feeling hot in my eyes, and quickly got up from the ground and ran over, saying: "How about it, let me see. The hand is not broken, but the joint seems to be dislocated. Don't worry, it's cured." I can still draw."

Tofu felt relieved when he heard this, but it probably hurt enough, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and he said weakly: "Old Chen, even if you are fucking bankrupt, you don't have to commit suicide. Suicide is fine, you can die Undead hit me on the head, if I hadn't reacted quickly and pushed you with my hand, my neck would not have been broken by you."

I said: "It turns out that you are protecting yourself. I thought you were sacrificing yourself to save others. If that is the case, then I don't need to thank you specifically." Having said that, I understand in my heart that even if it is really like tofu just now In the situation mentioned, he could avoid self-defense, but he didn't, but chose to push me. I know that tofu saved my life, but now is not the time to say thank you. Compared with this, deal with the top of our heads What is above is more important.

Under the reflection of the fire dragon, the black holes on the top of the tomb are like the mouths of monsters, silently facing us, and a black shadow can be vaguely seen in the hole where I just landed.It lay motionless and lurking there, surely watching us, waiting for an opportunity, but I don't know what opportunity it was waiting for.

Gu Wenmin was alert and said, "They seem to be afraid of fire."

One of Tofu's arms is completely useless, and it hurts when he moves it. He still has to wait for Professor Lin to come down and set his bones.I couldn't help listening to the movements of the robots with my ears sideways, hoping that they would rescue Professor Lin quickly.

Duan Fei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Gu Wenmin's words, and said, "Fortunately, we lit the fire dragon, otherwise those things would come out of the hole, it would be terrible." Suddenly, something is wrong.

Assuming that these bisu were lured here by the fragrance in the wooden box, they thrived in Xu Fu's tomb and became a barrier against tomb robbers, then the tomb designers should know that bisu are afraid of fire .That being the case, why did he keep the fire dragon, so that we have a chance to fight Bisu?If it were me, I would definitely not design a fire dragon here. In this way, any tomb robbers who enter will be rushed by Bixu.

Did the owner of the tomb design this way on purpose, or was it a momentary negligence?

Just as he was thinking, he saw the voices of several robots suddenly sounding close to the stone pillar. They jumped down from the hole near the stone pillar one by one. Among them, robot No. [-] was dragging another person, which was Professor Lin.Then robot No. [-] shouted: "Run, those things are coming down!" They were very flexible, and they got off the stone pillar in a short while and ran towards us.

Tofu didn't care too much, and said: "Don't be afraid, light the fire dragon, those things are afraid of fire, and dare not come down." Gu Wenmin's analysis was really good, and after a while, he saw that there were more fire dragons in the originally dark cave entrances. A thing.From our current distance, we can only see a dark figure, hanging upside down in the hole, head down, watching us in the darkness.

The feeling of being peeped by countless pairs of eyes makes my scalp tingle, and I can't help thinking: Could it be that the eyes mentioned in the curse refer to these Bixu?This move is really insidious, if there is no this fire dragon, the things in the cave above will really pounce on us and paralyze our whole body, wouldn't we be doomed?

At this moment, Gu Wenmin was able to stand up by herself, she said: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go quickly."

Although the tomb is large, you can see the head at a glance. Except for the tomb passage when we came, there is no entrance and exit. If we want to leave, we can only go back.

I couldn't help but look at the tomb passage when I came here. With just one glance, I felt cold on the soles of my feet, because that stone gate unexpectedly closed by itself, exactly the same as the previous stone gate!
When did it close?I have no idea.

Who closed it, I don't know.But everyone had obviously noticed it, and the atmosphere was tense for a while, probably thinking of the content of the curse.

Tofu snorted, scolded his mother severely, and said to robot No. [-]: "Brothers, don't be dumbfounded. Didn't you say that there are explosives before? Now the old professor is also dizzy. We are dying, so don't worry about it." If you want to protect any ancient buildings, quickly blow open the stone gate." Robot No. [-] glanced at me, obviously asking for my opinion, I nodded and said, "Do as Xiaodou said, don't care so much. "

At this moment, Professor Lin was in a coma, his body was full of dirt and scratch marks, and Wu Sidong was carrying him on his back, and everyone headed towards the stone gate, about bumpy, Professor Lin woke up slowly, and the first sentence he said was: "fire Fire……"

fire?
What happened to the fire?
At this moment, everyone has gathered in front of the stone gate, and Robot No. [-] is playing with explosives.

Blasting is a technical job. It is not just a matter of putting some explosives. It needs to be accurately measured according to the situation. Otherwise, if one is not careful and the weight is too much, it will not blow up the tomb door, but blow up ourselves.Taking advantage of the time when the robots were preparing to explode, I leaned close to Professor Lin's ear and asked, "What's the fire?" Professor Lin was probably also paralyzed. He was getting old, and he didn't recover as quickly as Gu Wenmin, so he didn't speak very much at the moment. Li Suo, stuttering on Huo, Huo, Huo for a long time, really anxious to death.

I subconsciously looked at the fire dragon on the wall of the tomb, and I was startled when I saw it, because I found that the flame tongue in the fire dragon had been reduced by half before I knew it.

Could it be that the oil is running out?
Before the fire dragon is extinguished, we must leave this tomb, otherwise, once we are entangled by those beards, even if we are many, they will not be able to hold them back.

Just as he was thinking, he heard a strange sound suddenly sounded in the silent tomb. However, hearing this kind of voice, I couldn't help but get dense goosebumps all over my body, and even the movements of the four robots stopped.

Robot No. [-] looked around vigilantly, and said, "What's the sound?"

Wu Sidong supported Professor Lin, swallowed his saliva, and said, "I don't know, I can't tell where it came from."

Gu Wenmin listened with ears sideways and eyes closed, and said: "I'm afraid the visitor is not good, everyone be careful." Without her reminding, everyone immediately took weapons in their hands, either daggers or guns, and scanned the tomb with wary eyes. of each location.The location of the voice was vague, and it was unknown where it came from. In this tomb, it seemed that a female ghost was approaching us, not to mention the creepy feeling.

Unknowingly, everyone gathered back to back in one place, only Tofu was unarmed, because he had something wrong with one hand and had to hold it with the other hand, otherwise the pain would be unbearable. He had the least sense of security, looked at the robots that had stopped, and said, "I said... you four, don't waste your time, and carry out the blasting quickly. This place is so fucking evil. Let's go out and slow down first." Slow down, and then plan for the long term."
