Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 552 Iron Chain
At this moment, everyone was silent, Tofu couldn't speak half of what he said, and even the mute's eyes flashed a trace of surprise.Finally, Wen Min took out some drinking water and said, "You stay away, I'll wash her first."

We could only turn around, and for a while, we could only hear the sound of ticking water.Tofu complained quietly to the mute, saying that the mute was too unsympathetic and that it was a shameful act to bully the weak.The mute just frowned slightly at the moment, and ignored us.

After a while, Wen Min agreed.Everyone turned around and saw that she had cut the Fusang woman's dirty hair short, washed the dirt off her lower body, and took off her coat to wrap around the Fusang woman.Wen Min was already tall, and the coat she wore on the skinny Fusang woman was not too small. She herself wore a tight-fitting army green vest, and her exquisite body line concealed a lot of strength.

At this moment, the Fusang woman was very weak and nervous, and she was in a semi-conscious state. From time to time, some words that we couldn't understand came out of her mouth, but the mute didn't respond to it. It seemed that what she said was all Words that don't make sense.

Now that she is a woman, Fenghuo and Fenghuo are not as rude as before. They simply carry people who don't weigh much on their backs. There is a strange attraction between the opposite sex. Although the origin of this Fusang woman is unknown, we always Help the elders, facing such a weak and crazy woman, I really can't bear to abuse her anymore, so I can only take her away first.

Immediately afterwards, everyone bypassed the stone chamber filled with treasures and started to move forward.This treasure hole is huge, and the value of the things in the period is incalculable. For any inverted person, these things are enough to make people lose their minds, but our goal is not them.

Everyone continued to move forward, just like the stone tablet said, all the way, they are unimpeded, there are no traps, and the surrounding artifacts are not poisoned. into a treasure trove.

However, at this moment, a gleam of light suddenly appeared in front of the cave, and the light seemed to be shining in from the sun.

My heart skipped a beat, and I said: Is there an exit in front?
Soon, everyone walked into the twilight, and they saw an arched exit, and several ancient seal characters were engraved on the mountain wall at the exit.Wen Min read softly: "Spirit of the giant ear, let strangers stop. Is this the entrance to the tomb palace of the king of giant ears?"

Tofu said: "Where is there any underground palace? We are still on the cliff." I saw that the exit of this cave is also on the cliff, but this side of the cliff is deeper. , I can't see the environment below at all, and there is also a cliff on the opposite side, but this cliff is separated by two or 300 meters, and the distance in the middle is a vast whiteness.

Zhong Gong speculated and said, "Could it be that the ancient tomb is at the bottom of this cliff?"

I didn't guess with everyone, but looked at the mute. If the information in Lu Su's hand really fell into the mute's hands, then the mute should know where the entrance to the underground palace is.I found that the mute didn't pay attention to the bottom of the cliff, his eyes kept looking at the opposite side.

Could it be that the entrance to King Juer's Tomb is on the opposite cliff?To be honest, the distance is too far at this moment, coupled with the transpiration of clouds and mists, the opposite cliff appears and disappears, and it is impossible to see what is going on.

At this moment, Wen Min's eyes were sharp, he gave a cry, motioned us to look down, and said, "There seems to be a cableway below." After hearing what she said, everyone followed her gaze to look down. At a distance of more than ten meters, there are two thick black iron chains extending to the opposite side.

At this moment, the clouds and mist were transpiring, and the iron chain appeared and disappeared in the mist. After observing for a long time, we came to a conclusion.The iron chains that were issued were firmly fixed in the mountain. There were two parallel chains extending to the opposite side. Although we couldn't see the ends, we could be sure that the two chains were connected.

Tofu wondered, "What are you doing with two iron chains?"

Zhuan Rui observed for a while and said, "It's an iron chain bridge. The boards and ropes on it should have decayed, so only the iron chains are left."

Feng Guishou said: "It seems that the bottom of this cliff is not flat." Zhuanrui asked why, Feng Guishou said that the iron chain bridge has limited load-bearing capacity, and the reason why the bridge is built here is because of engineering needs.However, the load-bearing capacity of the iron cable bridge is not good, and it is rickety, which is not conducive to the transportation of materials. In contrast, it will save time and effort to pass directly from the bottom of the cliff.But obviously, when it was built, it didn't go down the cliff valley, but opened up a chain bridge alone. From this point of view, it must be something at the bottom of the cliff.

Feng Guishou's analysis made us suddenly realize that Tofu gave a thumbs up and said, "Old Feng, I never thought you would have such a clever side besides quarreling. In this way, the tomb of King Juer should be on the opposite cliff Come on. Tell me, what kind of environment is under this cliff? Why did Puzhen avoid it? It must be extraordinary to make a detour of wood."

Feng Guishou didn't bother to talk to the tofu at all, and completely ignored this passage.

Tofu was upset, so he went to the mute again and said, "Don't look at it, don't look at it, what should we do next?"

The mute withdrew his gaze, and said coldly: "The entrance to the underground palace is on the opposite side, go by the cableway."

Zhong Gongdao: "For thousands of years, I don't know whether the cableway is strong or not. In case of accidents..."

Hearing this, Lei Zi immediately volunteered, and said to the mute: "Mr. Wu, I'll go down and find out first. If there is an accident, let's find another way." The mute nodded slightly, and Lei Zi tied the rope. , down to the iron chain ten meters below.

He observed the structure of the iron chain embedded in the cliff, and then stretched out his hand to shake it vigorously. We immediately heard the clattering sound of the iron chains hitting each other, and then Lei Zi made an OK gesture to us, indicating that the iron chain was strong and could allow us to pass through.

Everyone immediately descended along the rope. There were two iron ropes, which were deeply inserted into the mountain due to the strong gravity. People stood on it and swayed.Minus the sunspot who left, plus the Fusang woman, our group of 17 people was divided into two groups, followed the two iron cables, put on the safety buckle and started walking towards the opposite side.When you don't walk with your feet, but rely on your hands to move forward, the only safety measure is the safety buckle at the waist.

Soon, everyone was tied to the chains, like hanging bacon.Although we went down about ten meters, we looked down at this moment, but we still couldn't see the environment at the bottom of the cliff. Thinking of Feng Guishou's speculation before, everyone was worried that there would be some weird things under the cliff, so they didn't dare to look down. Delayed, immediately began to move forward along the iron chain.

However, when she moved to about a third of the way, the Fusang woman who was carried by the wind suddenly woke up. The moment she opened her eyes and woke up, she suddenly burst out with a piercing scream.Everyone concentrated on moving to the opposite side, who had the time to pay attention to her.Her sudden voice really frightened people a lot.We only heard the screams echoing between the cliffs, one after another, the sharp female screams poured into our ears like a tide.

Tofu exclaimed in surprise, "This, why is this echo so powerful!"

Zhuan Rui said: "It should have something to do with the terrain, so let her stop screaming." We had a safety button, and Lei Zi, who followed closely behind Feng, immediately stretched out his hand to cover the mouth of the Fusang woman, and said, "Don't fuck me!" If you go crazy again, it doesn't matter if you are a woman or not."

The Fusang woman couldn't make a sound, but kicked desperately, her eyes were wide open, and I suddenly felt something was wrong because at this moment, due to the position, the Fusang woman happened to be facing me, and I could almost clearly see her face. It is a look that I often see in Dou: panic, pain, and despair.

Why is she showing such an expression?
I felt that my back was a little chilly, and I looked back subconsciously, and there was a foggy void behind me, and there was nothing.

The Fusang woman was kicking and beating, and her screams were still echoing in our ears.The echo circled around, and the tone had changed. To my ears, it was as if another woman was screaming, which made people extremely uncomfortable.

As soon as she kicked and kicked, the entire iron chain on the opposite side shook, and the people on the iron chain shook accordingly, feeling very thrilling.Lei Zi was furious, seeing the Fusang woman struggling endlessly, and the people like himself swaying in the air following her struggle, it was really thrilling, he was worried about accidents, so he asked the mute at the front: "Mr. Wu, what should I do? Don't kill her."

Wu Shui turned his head and was about to answer, when suddenly, there was a croaking sound in everyone's ears, like countless frogs croaking. come up.

When everyone heard this change, they couldn't help but lower their heads and look down. Suddenly, they saw countless black shadows rising from the bottom of the cliff. They were flying birds the size of monkey cubs. They were like a black cloud, densely packed from the bottom of the cliff Flapping its wings, it rose up, and the dark wind it brought up surged upwards.

I didn't expect that there were so many big birds perched under the cliff. Obviously, the echo caused by the scream just now startled these big birds perched under the cliff.

At first, we thought these black birds were crows, but soon, as they continued to rise, we saw from their sharp hooked beaks that they were birds of prey, and one of the kind we had never seen before. birds of prey.

They have sharp beaks and sharp claws, like eagles, but they are covered with black feathers, like a black cloud, as soon as they rise up, they rush towards us.Everyone didn't react at first, and almost all of them were pecked by these strange birds. Every peck was a piece of meat, and there were several screams in a short while, and I was also scratched on the shoulder.

At this moment, Tofu yelled: "Kill quickly, these birds can eat people!" There is no need for Tofu to say more. After being pecked, everyone had already drawn out their weapons. The sound of wings, and the phrase about tofu eating people.
