Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 554 The Cliff
Although Wen Min's voice was low, everyone in this quiet cave could hear clearly.

It's a pity that we can't understand Japanese at all, so we don't know what Fusang woman said when she was dying, but at this moment, her death face was staring at the mute with a frightened expression. How scary.

But at this moment, the mute stayed where he was, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and his hands involuntarily held the two black scimitars at his waist. I could see that although the mute could not see anything on the surface There are clues, but something must have changed in his heart. He is nervous and excited.

What did the Fusang woman say to him?
Why, is she so afraid of the mute?Even scared to death?

Could it be... She has seen a mute?

I suddenly felt something was wrong, it was the first time for the mute to come to the tomb of King Juer, how could the Fusang woman recognize him?Could it be that she regarded the mute as someone else?I immediately thought of the statement.

Could it be that the Fusang woman is not afraid of the dumb, but the statement?

But I feel wrong, the statement came to the tomb of King Juer more than 20 years ago, could it be that this woman has lived here for more than 20 years?I looked at her face carefully, because the skin was thin and stretched, so from the appearance, we couldn't judge her age at all.

At this moment, the mute was obviously greatly stimulated, his dark eyes suddenly closed, and the whole person took two steps back and sat at the entrance of the cave, with his back leaning against the stone wall, his hand still tightly holding the black scimitar. what to think.

At this moment, although I was puzzled, I didn't have much energy to pay attention to the mute. At this moment, the only thing I thought about was tofu. Is he dead or alive?Was it taken away by those strange birds, or was it taken away by the white chicken?
At this moment, I can only place my hope on the latter. Although Bai Zhanji is insidious, at least he can survive by following him.

The mute's subordinates did not speak. After all, they were only sent by Mr. Bai to assist the mute, so they were not very active.On the contrary, it was Zhong Gong and the others who knew the meaning of the tomb of King Juer to me, and discussed, "Let's find out the whereabouts of Brother Dou first, and then find a way to cross this iron chain."

Wen Min said: "Before, these strange birds were startled by the sound. Next time we pass by, as long as we don't make a loud noise, there should be no problem. Now the key is Xiaodou...where will he go?"

Zhuan Rui got up and said, "There are only two possibilities. One is that they retreated back to the cave. If so, then we have to go back and look for it; the other is that something happened to them and they went to the bottom of the cliff."

"Bottom of the cliff?" Wen Min murmured, his expression changed slightly, if he went to the bottom of the cliff, then things would be tricky.

In order to prove these two inferences, we decided to go back to search for clues. During this process, the mute and his people did not say anything, so only Wen Min, Wen Min, and Zhuan Rui's team started to go back.After walking a few steps, I found that Feng Guishou followed me. I was a little surprised. Feng Guishou met my gaze, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Although your follower is noisy and annoying, if you really die, you can still die." It's a pity."

For this, all I can do is thank you with a wry smile.A group of us walked back along the cave, observing the surrounding environment all the way, trying to see if we could find any clues. However, we couldn't find any trace of people until we stood in front of the big stone tablet at the original entrance. , not even a little blood.

Feng Guishou frowned slightly, and said, "Could it be true that he fell to the bottom of the cliff? If he didn't fall to his death, he would be torn to pieces by those strange birds."

Zhong Gong sighed: "What kind of birds are those that are so ferocious?"

Everyone was well-informed, but they all shook their heads, obviously no one knew.Wen Min said: "Could it be that the ancients bred them to protect the mausoleum? Donkeys and horses become mules, such things are not uncommon."

Zhuan Rui shook his head slightly, saying that it is meaningless to talk about it now, and the three of Tofu don't seem to have turned back. Now it seems that Chapter 2 is the most likely, and they probably fell off the cliff.When I thought of the cloudy cliff bottom and the strange birds soaring up, I felt my scalp go numb. If this is the case, is there still life for tofu?

Immediately afterwards, Zhuan Rui asked me what I planned to do?
How could I just give up like this, so I said that if you are alive, you need to see people, and if you are dead, you need to see corpses, so I went down to the bottom of the cliff to find someone.Wen Min immediately nodded in agreement, and Feng Guishou poured cold water on us, saying: "Go down there, you are looking for death."

I glanced at him and said, "You are willing to accompany us back to find someone, I thank you, but the rest is my own business."

Zhuan Rui was still lukewarm, looking very steady, and said: "Before seeing the dead body, everything is unknown, and we must save lives as early as possible. Let's go." We started to walk back again, and decided to go down to the bottom of the cliff to explore .When we returned to the exit, we found that the mute and the others had disappeared, and the only thing left was the body of the Fusang woman.

I stared at her terrified face, and then at the vast mist on the other side of the cliff, feeling a little dazed.

Wu Shui, what is your real identity?
Feng Guishou scolded his mother, he probably didn't expect the mute to leave so simply, he was very annoyed.While tidying up the rope, Wen Min asked him: "Now you are left alone, what are you going to do? Come with us, or go it alone?"

Although Feng Guishou's attainments in organs are great, his skills are not very good. He can only be regarded as having good physical strength and flexibility. Other than that, he is not much better than ordinary people.Let him act alone, it is really embarrassing.

Zhong Gong glanced at him and said: "If you are here to touch the artifacts, they are everywhere in this cave. I think you still have something to carry, so go by yourself, don't take this risk in vain."

When I asked Feng Guishou why he was willing to follow Lu Su to such a dangerous place, his answer was ambiguous, very arrogant, saying that there is nothing to worry about, there is nothing in the world that he can't go to.In my opinion, these words are pure nonsense, only those "green faces" who have never seen the world dare to speak so loudly.But whoever has two brushes and knows the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, who dares to praise Haikou?
Feng Guishou is not blue-faced, so what he said sounds very fake.

Now that Zhong Gong finished speaking, Feng Guishou showed a trace of hesitation. Obviously, he had already begun to see the power of King Juer's tomb. We had just entered the door, and we had already died before we even saw the entrance of the underground palace. Three missing.The people who built the tomb of King Juer, his methods cannot be measured by common sense, and it is a huge challenge for those of us who are veterans.But this challenge is not a game, and losing means death.

While Feng Guishou was struggling, we set up the rope. The 40-meter rope hung straight down the cliff and fell into the cloud. Feng Guishou stood aside and looked at us, and had no intention of joining , I nodded to him as a farewell.Zhuan Rui was probably worried that Feng Gui's hand would cause trouble, so he left two of his subordinates to help him. Immediately afterwards, the four of us, Wen Min, Zhuan Rui, and Zhong Gong followed the rope and began to go down the cliff.

This time, we didn't dare to make any loud noises. We wore gloves and dragged the rope down slowly. Gradually, we passed through the iron rope and fell into the white mist. Looking up, we could no longer see The cave and the three people standing at the entrance of the cave disappeared.

We don't know how deep this cliff is, and we can't see the bottom until the end of the rope.I am a little chilled, so high, if you fall, the chance of surviving is almost zero.I can only keep doing various psychological constructions for myself so that I will not collapse.

Zhuanrui took out the spare rope and threw it to me, motioning for me to fix the spare rope on the cliff. After a while, I fixed the rope, and everyone continued to descend. The two ropes add up to more than 80 meters. In the end, we really had no other choice.

However, just when I was about to continue down, suddenly, I suddenly discovered that there was a figure lying on the cliff at the bottom of the cliff. Like a gecko, the figure sprang out of the white mist and gradually moved towards here we come.As the distance drew closer, I was shocked suddenly, isn't this Fatty Li?
But this Fatty Li is different from the Fatty Li we have seen before. His "prototype" has been revealed, with bluish-purple skin that seems to be rotting, and the hand that is deeply gripping the cliff, sticking to the cliff strangely The posture on the top makes people feel shuddering.

I know that the messenger will only reveal its original form when it is extremely weak.

As soon as he came to us, he said hoarsely, "Save people...they were swept away."

Get swept away?

what happened?

I noticed that Fatty Li was talking about them, not him, which shows that our guess is correct, that tofu is really with white chicken.

Before I could ask, Fatty Li started to retreat. The four of us were hanging in the air. We didn't dare to delay any longer. We slid down cautiously. After touching about twenty meters, we saw the bottom. Only then did we realize that the bottom of the cliff , It turned out to be a green, bottomless lake.

But at this moment, there are actually big fish swimming in the lake, each of which is more than half a meter long, and its head looks like it is wearing armor, and it shows sharp teeth when swimming.
