Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 549
The cave was originally big enough, but it seemed crowded when so many people squeezed in at once. Everyone curled up and fell asleep soundly. Compared with camping outside, the cave is much safer. In addition, it rained during the day, and now the mountain road is muddy, so there will not be so many people. Animals come out at night, so everyone's nerves are more relaxed.

Not long after, I also hugged Wen Min and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Zhong Gong and Xiao Yu went outside to check around, saying that the road conditions were not as bad as we had imagined, and we could move on. Immediately afterwards, everyone's eyes focused on the mute.

We've found the skeleton of the statement, what should we do next?
At this time, the mute took out a compass from the equipment bag, facing the sun, with the crosshairs pointing forward, as if guessing the direction.I have learned Yang Fang's ability to observe the wind and cut off the water, and look at the tomb, so I can naturally understand the compass.I saw the mute holding a compass to calculate, and after a while, he chose a student with eight out of eight, and began to lead us forward.

I looked towards this position, and I could vaguely see a cliff at the end.The crowd walked on the muddy road in the mountains, walking behind the mute, all of them looked like mud bodhisattvas.After walking for more than two hours, the tofu couldn't take it anymore, and said: "No, let's take a rest, I'm going to die of exhaustion."

I looked at Wenmin and said, "Wenmin didn't call out tired, why are you tired, are you a man?"

Tofu gasped; "Can I compare with Gu Damei? She has been professionally trained. Besides, why can't a man shout tired? Isn't it all singing in the song? It's not a sin for a man to cry." To Bai Zhanji, who was being carried forward by Fatty Li, said: "It would be nice to have a subordinate who won't get tired. If the wood is here..." Tofu's voice paused, and his spirit was a little low. I knew he was thinking of the corpse fairy I was upset about the matter, and was about to say a few words of comfort, when suddenly I heard a rumbling sound coming from the mountain, and the tone of the sound seemed to be like a landslide or something.

The sound came extremely fast, it rang out in an instant, and it returned to silence after a while.Everyone couldn't help but looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that the yellow mud was exposed not far away, and the trees were crooked. It seemed that it was caused by a heavy rain overnight and the earth and rocks collapsed.

At this moment, Wen Min listened with sharp ears, and said: "Listen, it seems that there is some sound." I listened carefully, and the surrounding birds and insects were chirping.Immediately afterwards, Wen Min walked towards the landslide not far away, and Tofu and I had to follow.

When I approached the pile of rotten soil and gravel, I really heard a small sound, which seemed to come from the soil.Wen Min suddenly squatted down, looked under a big rock, and then said, "There is a mongoose hiding inside." Tofu and I squatted down to have a look, and sure enough, there was a red-headed mongoose under the big rock in between. Most of them were buried, and they were struggling to escape from the mud.

The red-headed mongoose was covered in yellow mud, looking very pitiful, Wen Min immediately stretched out his hand to pull it out.I stopped her and said, "Wait, this thing is small, but it is very powerful. Such a small mongoose can kill a big snake. Its teeth are poisonous, so be careful not to bite you." He took out a corpse hook from the equipment bag, and used the front end of the rope to catch the red-headed mongoose and pulled it out.

The actions of the three of us attracted the rest of us. Feng Guishou was quite impatient and said, "We are here to fight against each other, not the Animal Protection Association."

At this moment, Tofu snorted and said, "Why is there something in the mongoose's mouth?"

Sure enough, after being pulled out by us, the red-headed mongoose shook the yellow mud on its body and ran away in a hurry, but the strange thing was that it spit out something from its bulging cheeks.Tofu picked up the thing and looked at it, and said in surprise: "It's a night pearl."

Zhuanrui said: "This red-headed mongoose likes to shine. It has the title of 'Jibao mongoose'. It seems that this pearl is its favorite thing. It will not forget to pick it up when the hole collapses." Tofu said: "Then it will take this pearl now. Why leave things behind? I only know that weasels repay their kindness, so could it be possible that this mongoose also knows how to repay his kindness and leave this night pearl for us to use as a light bulb?"

Zhong Gong thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I think, instead of thinking about why it left the Ye Mingzhu to us, it's better to think about it, where did it get the Ye Ming Pearl?"

When he said this, everyone immediately knew that our attention was wrong. The red-headed mongoose left the night pearl, perhaps because he was frightened and didn't catch it. He also saw that we looked 'weird' and worried that we were some mongoose-eating monsters. Yiliuyan scared away, causing the pearl to fall.

But where did the red-headed mongoose get the night pearl?
Tofu directly swallowed the things, and said: "It probably got out of the ancient tomb, dumb, do you think it is possible?"

The mute glanced at the tofu and said coldly; "It's sealed, these things can't get in."

Everyone thought it was true, so they could only let go of their doubts and continue to move forward. At noon, we finally reached the cliff. Only then did everyone realize that our previous guesses were all wrong.I saw a big trench in front of us, and when I looked down, I couldn't see the bottom. I could only see the mist steaming below. It was probably an underground waterway.The trench is about seven or eight meters wide, and on the opposite side of the trench is the steep cliff we saw in the distance before.

Standing at the closest position to it at the moment, looking up, you can hardly see the top, but you can only see the dense vines on the cliff, with purple flowers blooming on the vines, the breeze blows, the fragrance of flowers floats, and the thin vines sway slightly .

At this moment, with the swaying of the vines, I suddenly discovered that on the opposite cliff, there was an arched hole as high as a person, which was man-made at first glance.

Could it be that this is the entrance to the tomb of King Juer?

The hole is located directly below us, and it is easy to go through it. You can use the claws to set up a cableway.The mute didn't say much, and immediately ordered to set up the cableway. Although the two groups of us didn't mention cooperation, we cooperated with each other tacitly. Soon, a cableway was erected, and Lei Zi volunteered to slide over first. Pulling away the surrounding vines to reveal the entrance of the cave, there is actually a stone tablet at the entrance of the cave.

Tofu yelled, "What's written on it?"

Ray said: "It knows me, I don't know it, come in and see for yourself."

Our lineup this time is relatively large, with a large number of people. I, Tofu, Wen Min, Dumb, Feng Guishou, Heizi, Feng Huo Lei Dian and Xiao Yu, plus Zhuan Rui, Zhong Gong and two subordinates, plus Bai Zhanji and Fatty Li, a total of 17 people, arrived in the cave in a mighty way. Although the cave is big enough, it can't accommodate us crowded together. Tofu rushed to the front with all his strength, staring at the words on the stone tablet.

I saw that the words on the stone tablet were densely packed, all of which were ancient seal characters.

Tofu frowned, and said, "It's okay to say one or two words, so many words, only ghosts know." We obviously can't compare with professionals on this point, but Dumb, Zhuanrui, Bai Zhanji and others are concentrating on studying the content on the stone tablet .

Tofu and I couldn't understand the words on it, so we looked at the structure of the cave.This is an arched cave with a width of about three people parallel. The entire cave was carved out of rocks. It seems simple, but the project is very difficult.

The whole cave is empty, there is nothing, and the rocks are stable, and there is no trace of any mechanism erection.Feng Guishou was more active than us in this regard. Although it was daytime, in order to see more clearly, he turned on the flashlight, carefully observed the surrounding structures, and finally said: "There is no major problem in this cave."

Tofu said: "If there are no big problems, then there will be small problems?"

Feng Guishou rolled his eyes and ignored it.

Tofu was very depressed, and asked himself if he had said the wrong thing. I said: "He means that there is no mechanism in this place, but this place is open, and there will inevitably be poisonous insects and ants. We have to be careful." , Zhuan Rui and the others had obviously read the content on the stele.

On weekdays, Zhuan Rui has always been steady and happy, but this time his expression was quite different. He shook his head slightly and said, "This Puzhen is really a big hand." down?"

Zhuan Rui nodded, and said: "The content on this stone tablet was carved for the tomb robbers to see. It said that this place is the tomb of the god with giant ears. The tomb of the god is different from the tomb of the mortal. Treasures, and all treasures, are piled up outside the underground palace, that is, in the cave we are in, for us to take from ourselves. But there is one condition, that is, we cannot enter the underground palace. The outside world is free to come and go safely, and the underground palace has a spirit , Trespasser dies!"

Everyone was amazed, except for Wen Min, we were all professional inverted buckets. After pouring so many buckets, we have never seen treasures piled up outside the tomb like the tomb of King Juer, and let the tomb robbers pick it up. Not buried.

But after thinking about it, the owner of the giant-eared king's tomb is a legendary idol. Elephants are different from humans. Tofu speculates that the funeral objects of the giant-eared elephant are probably a lot of bananas.This cave was not sealed, and most of the night pearls left by the red-headed mongoose were also obtained from this place.
