Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 61 Fairy Rat
Originally, I thought that having an open flame would be enough to deal with these bats, but there were so many of them, and they were extinguished as soon as the torch appeared.

In the darkness, those bats were in all directions and penetrated everywhere. If they stayed alone, they would be torn into strips of flesh by their claws. Fortunately, these bats were not big, and there was no danger for a while. Covering his head and face with his elbows, he rushed towards the place where the two Tofu were, and after a while, he bumped into a person and heard the humane voice: "Oh, Miss Gu, why are you getting thicker all of a sudden."

I really don't understand how this kid has the courage to speak up under such circumstances.Isn't he afraid of bat shit falling into his mouth?
"it's me."

As soon as I opened my mouth, Tofu and Gu Wenmin immediately found the right position, and the two leaned towards me. The three of them immediately formed a back-to-back triangle formation, barely preventing the back from being attacked.

These bats don't bite people, but they just flutter, and when their paws rub against people, they leave bloodstains. Their fluttering wings either scratch the eyeballs or hit the ears, which makes people really uncomfortable. Two words, there will be wings drilled into the mouth.

In the dark and chaotic environment, none of the three of us opened our eyes. I covered my head and face with one hand, and covered my mouth with the other, and said in a muffled voice, "Fortunately, these bats are not interested in human flesh and blood. Let's rush out in one go and get out of here." At the entrance of the hole, these things are afraid of light, so it’s fine.”

The two Tofus didn't make a sound, I just felt that the two of them seemed to be nodding their heads, and even if they took the lead, they closed their eyes and covered their heads and faces as they walked forward.I remember the location of the cave entrance, it was about twenty steps away, and I was about to take the two of them forward, when suddenly, the restless group of bats around them became quiet for an instant, and they no longer flopped around in the cave, but came together in unison. Hanging upside down above our heads, the red bat eyeballs, like rubies, glow in the dark.

The sudden calm made the three of us a little bit astonished, and opened our eyes involuntarily.Then in the faint light of dawn, Gu Wenmin and Doufu's exposed skin was covered with bloodstains, and Tofu's proud face became a training ground for bats, with criss-crossed bloodstains and some bats Feces, don't look too disgusting.

Gu Wenmin was similar, except that women always cared more about their faces, so she protected her face quite well, there were only a few bloodstains, and most of the injuries were on her arms and neck.

I was the latest to come in, and I was not as embarrassed as the two of them. The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what happened for a while.But I knew in my heart that the opportunity must not be lost, and the loss would never come again. No matter what the reason was, I came out of this hole first and said.

After hundreds of years, this golden vein has become a natural bat nest.Bats are social animals. Most of these things live by eating insects, and some species live on carrion or even human blood.

In Chinese folk, there are also legends about bats. It is said that they often live in stalactite caves and were called "fairy mice" by ancient people.

Why is it called fairy mouse?Because in ancient times, the natural landscape of the stalactite cave, and the people at that time were very magical, thinking that it was the "heavenly paradise" where the gods lived, and the bats looked like mice, but there were a pair of flying ones, because they drank The water in the cave has gained longevity and the ability to fly.The fairy mouse lives for thousands of years, and its whole body will turn white, very beautiful and majestic.

Of course, it is just a legend that bats are called fairy mice, but we are at least thankful that these bats did not attack us. It seems that they belong to the kind of bats that eat insects and have no interest in human blood.We accidentally broke into the cave where they lived for hundreds of years before, which inevitably caused them to panic, and they flew around, only to get this injury.

If the bat swarm stops, it is better to leave quickly.I used an open flame before to scare away a group of bats that didn't have time to enter the cave. If I stay any longer, those bats will slow down, and I'm afraid they will come back.

Immediately, the three of us didn't care to think about why the bats in the cave suddenly changed their behavior, and hurriedly wiped the feces on our faces, and prepared to go out, but after walking a few steps, the cave suddenly became pitch black.

The original weak light in the cave was the twilight light from the entrance of the cave, but at this moment, the entrance of the cave seemed to be blocked by something suddenly, and the light in the cave disappeared instantly. The red light seemed to be brighter.

My heart skipped a beat for a moment, knowing that something had happened, I immediately lowered my voice in the darkness and said, "Who's with the flashlight? Turn it on quickly."

Tofu said: "It's here, but the situation was too chaotic just now, I don't know where to throw it."

"Damn, sometimes I really want to chop you up with a knife and make meat buns to beat dogs." I usually don't swear in front of women, but this time I couldn't help it, thinking, it doesn't matter if you lose the chain usually, At such a juncture, nothing can be done.

Now that the matter had already happened, I couldn't just dawdle like this, so I immediately took out the lighter and lit it.This lighter is suitable for me to buy when I was still in business. The brand is ZPPO, it costs about a thousand yuan, and the quality is reliable.At that time, I bought two of the same model, and one of them was given to tofu. As a result, on the second day after the boy received the gift, he took off his pants while squatting and fell into the toilet. Then he stood by the toilet and bought the lighter A eulogy was read for an hour.

The lighting range of the lighter is not large, and the bats around our heads were disturbed when the flame was lit, and they flew away from us with flapping wings.With the dim light, one could see a big white mouse standing upright with one person alone at the entrance!The eyeballs are also white, staring straight at the three of us, looking particularly eerie.

Tofu gasped, and said in surprise: "No, this little white mouse has mutated and is going to take revenge on humans." Then he said: "In the future, I would like to suggest that those who do biological experiments should not harm the little mouse anymore." White rat."

Gu Wenmin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said anxiously: "Xiao Dou, don't make trouble at this time, Chen Xuan, you should quickly think of a way, what is blocking the entrance of the cave, why is it so big?"

I observed carefully and found that it was not a white mouse, but a big white bat with a pair of white fleshy wings. I couldn't help but secretly startled for a while, and thought to myself: Folklore, many things have always been embellished, and I just think that the fairy mouse is fabricated Yes, but I didn't expect that there really was a big white bat.This bat is so big, even in terms of seniority, it must be the Bat King here.

While observing, I told the two of them about the situation. Tofu swallowed hard and said, "This fairy mouse bat king is quite big, and he will definitely not be full after eating insects."

I said: "My meat is too thick, it's not good to eat; Wen Min doesn't have much meat on his body, and the fairy mouse probably doesn't care about it. Xiaodou, people are mortal, and it's heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. Look, yours There is a lot of meat, and it is tender. Why don't you sacrifice yourself and feed it first, so as to fight for a way out for us. Don't worry, my brother will not treat you badly during the new year and festivals. , I will burn ten of them for you each time, and within three years, I will collect three thousand harem for you."

Tofu jumped up in fright, and said, "I'm dead, so what's the use of burning three thousand paper women for me? Besides, the paper ones will break if poked, at least you should replace them with real leather ones!"

Gu Wenmin choked, and punched me on the shoulder, neither light nor heavy, neither painful nor itchy, with a sullen face, said in a low voice: "When is this, you still only care about bullying Xiao Dou, let you Think of a way, but you're talking too much. If you delay any longer, the three of us don't have to leave. Let's eat Xiaodou first, and the two of us can marinate for the New Year."

I saw that she was really in a hurry, so I turned serious and said, "Don't worry, I have a solution. You forgot, we still have these guys." I raised my shotgun.Gu Wenmin patted his forehead, suddenly realized, and regretted: "Look at me, I was so scared, I even forgot about this."

Those little bats are so numerous that we don't need guns.But the jellyfish in front of me was as big as a man, so it was easy to aim at. It had no room to hide at the entrance of the cave, so we had to shoot it to death, or it had to fly away from the entrance of the cave.Although the appearance is weird and the length makes people feel weak, but in fact it does not pose much threat to us. With a gun in hand, everything is easy to handle.If it weren't for this guarantee, I wouldn't be having fun with tofu at this time.
