Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 577
Everyone was startled, and retreated in unison. I thought to myself: Is it going to be a dead body?

Didn't you see it grow hair?

Just as this thought flashed through, something popped out from behind the scorched corpse's hand. It was a triangular head with a pointed mouth and a pair of black eyes. It turned out to be a little pangolin hiding in the corpse. later.

It stuck its head out and was not afraid of people. Its eyeballs rolled around, and then it slid to the ground.I saw that this pangolin should have just been born, and it was only about the size of a human palm. Its carapace was dark brown, and it was crawling slowly on the ground with its tail flicking, not afraid of us at all.

At this time, Wen Min also came over, seeing the little pangolin, a smile appeared on his pale face, and said, "The little thing is cute." Girls like these little animals, and the black eyes of the pangolin look very special. He is clear and clever, his body is swaying, and he is really naive.

It crawled to our feet and wandered aimlessly in the tomb, and everyone's eyes couldn't help chasing it.

Feng Guishou hissed and said, "Why are there so many pangolins in this place? Could it be the grandson of the old pangolin?"

Speaking of the old pangolin, I can’t help but think of the old pangolin’s previous drilling. First it appeared suddenly, and then after we entered the cave, it suddenly appeared again, luring us to go forward, thinking about it, as if that The old pangolin seems to want to lead us into the depths.

At this moment, Shen Hao yelled and said, "Speaking of that pangolin, I get angry. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have gone into that cave." He probably looked at the little pangolin for a moment while speaking. , Lift your foot to step on it.This action was stopped by Zhong Gong, who said sharply: "Don't cause trouble, it's best to see less blood in the tomb."

While talking, the little pangolin crawled all the way to the outside of the burial pit. Standing in this position, we can still see the bad luck gathered in the burial pit, everything seems hazy, and the strange thing is, these bad luck, But it didn't flow into the tomb where we are, as if separated by a door, there are two worlds.

The figure of the pangolin quickly disappeared. I looked back, turned my head again, and was shocked: "Where's the corpse?" This sentence caught everyone's attention, and everyone looked behind the stone gate. The place was empty. What kind of charred corpse, the only thing left is a pair of black footprints, some burnt black meat stuck to the floor tiles, forming a pair of clear footprints.

Damn, is it a scam?

Everyone immediately looked around with flashlights, but there was nothing as far as they could see.At this moment, I suddenly thought that if the corpse moved by itself, then it should have left footprints, but the surrounding floor tiles are clean, which means that the corpse has not walked on the ground, so the only possibility is...

As soon as I thought about it, I raised my head abruptly. At the same time, I raised the flashlight in my hand, and the dim beam of light shot straight up. Suddenly, a pair of scorched legs appeared in my sight.I saw the charred corpse hanging above everyone's heads!

Wen Min looked up, and immediately let out an exclamation. The corpse's feet were swinging in the air, and its head was drooping. The head with burnt facial features was drooping, and its black eye sockets were peeping at everyone. It was shocking that the scalp was numb. up.

Everyone seemed to be standing at its feet at the moment, and quickly dispersed in shock, forming a half-enclosed circle.As soon as the distance was opened, I immediately discovered that the corpse was hung on the stone pillar for some reason, and there was still a length of rope around the neck.

Zhong Gong was surprised: "Who hung it up?"

At this time, Zhuan Rui keenly noticed the problem, and said, "No, that's not a rope, it's moving!" Everyone looked carefully, and sure enough, the rope-like thing was wrapped around the neck of the corpse, and it was moving slowly. and the other end of the 'rope' is hidden above the willow leaf-shaped thing, and I don't know what it is.

We didn't dare to act rashly for a while, so we immediately gathered together and observed carefully at a distance. However, before our observation was out of line, we heard a loud cry from behind: "Ah!"

It's Zhonghua!
The people who were startled by the sound turned around immediately. We were all attracted to the tomb door by the corpse before, leaving the mute and Zhonghua resting in their original positions. Now when we turned around, we saw the stone pillar closest to them. Countless brown and yellow things hung down like ropes.

And Zhong Hua was the closest to the stone pillar, and those hanging things seemed to be alive, and suddenly entangled him.His leg had already suffered a bone-piercing injury, and now he was entangled by that thing, and was immediately pulled up, hanging in mid-air, and he himself screamed and struggled, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a while.

Everyone was shocked, and they didn't know what it was, so they hurried over, drawing their knives while running.Before we could get close, there was a flash of silver light, and a flying knife shot out from the side, severing the thing wrapped around Zhonghua's feet.

Zhong Hua fell to the ground in an instant, and the fall was hard.I turned my head to look, and I saw that the mute had woken up from the shock, propped one hand on the ground, and raised the other hand slightly, maintaining the motion of shooting the throwing knife.

Following the mute's movement, those limp hanging things suddenly twisted crazily as if they had been injected with stimulants, and poured out from the top of the stone pillar. At the same time, the other two pillars also appeared In such a situation, within a short while, the entire space was almost occupied by these things. The only thing that did not change was the stone pillar that activated the mechanism before.

We were shocked, and hurriedly picked up Dumb and Zhonghua, but those things came out very quickly, and in an instant, the entrance where we came was covered with dense ropes, sealing off our escape route.The people were forced to retreat under the stone pillar by the things constantly rushing around, not to mention how unlucky they were.

Feng Guishou spat: "What the hell is this!"

The dumb voice was hoarse, and it seemed that he might faint again at any time, and said, "Nvluo, it's the same as that thing in the cave."

Girl?

Like the stuff in the cave?This thing obviously has no leaves, and the color is completely different, right?

I first thought of Qu Yuan's "Mountain Ghost": If there is a man who loves the mountain, he will be taken by Xue Lixi.Immediately afterwards, I remembered the verse in "The Book of Songs": "Tquats and female dills are applied to pines and cypresses."Nvluo is a kind of plant, parasitic among pines and cypresses, and often grows on cliffs and cliffs. When it grows in pieces, it hangs on the cliff like a green waterfall.It generally grows in a quiet mountain forest.

But this girl is obviously not the girl Qu Yuan said.

The dumb face turned pale due to excessive blood loss, and after saying this, he fell silent.

More and more female dicks rushed towards us, and everyone fired at random, but there was no effect.In desperation, Zhong Gong said: "Hurry up, let's burn it with fire." The mute looked about to faint, and jumped suddenly, then opened his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "No, this thing has corpse poison. "

He panted a few times, and said: "This is a female body nourished by the corpse. Burning will release the corpse poison, which is pervasive and hard to resist." At this time, I found the charred female corpse hanging in the air. There are more and more girls, and these things are getting tighter and tighter. Its whole 'person', like a popsicle, gradually shrinks, and the flesh on its body seems to be digested by something.

My scalp tingled and I said, "Then what should we do? Can't we wear gas masks?"

The mute shook his head, stood up with force, turned to face the stone pillars behind him, and said, "You block them, and I'll try again." It seemed that he had indeed gone the wrong way before, and what he said was try, It is estimated that it refers to deciphering the combination of eighteen orifices.

Looking at the mute as if he would collapse at any time, I really doubt the credibility of his words.But now, Sima can only be used as a living horse doctor. Since this thing has corpse poison in its body, our skin cannot touch it. How can we resist it?

This task is really not easy.

At this time, Wen Min seemed to think of something, and said: "Meat, we still have meat, throw it over." Her words reminded us.When we were in front of the stone gate before, the girl didn't pick on us, but the charred corpse, probably because of the smell.

Immediately, Zhong Gong took out beef jerky from his equipment bag, tore open the packaging bag, and threw three pieces of beef in three different directions. Sure enough, they immediately surrounded the beef and stopped attacking us for the time being. delayed for a while.

But the beef jerky was too small, not enough for these things to fit between the teeth. The whole process only took more than ten seconds, and they squirmed and crawled over again.I looked at the mute nervously, and found that he was extremely pitiful, his face was as white as a piece of paper, but his skin was constantly sweating, and I could almost hear his heavy breathing.

Zhuan Rui reminded the mute: "Time is running out."

Immediately afterwards, I saw the mute's hand suddenly pressing in, and immediately after, the entire tomb suddenly lit up with a burst of light.

"Boom." The four chandeliers above the head ignited spontaneously without fire, and a raging fire suddenly lit up.
