Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 717 Burning
"What?" The two were attracted by the flash.The light was yellow and clear, like the light of metals like gold.Father Lu was curious, so he walked forward vigilantly for a while, wanting to see what it was, in case it was really gold or something...

He couldn't help becoming greedy. Father Lu is not a big treacherous person, but he is also quite cunning. He can support the whole family by himself, so there is no need for a little cunning.Walking forward for a while, you can see little drops of blood on the ground, which was left by the savage before.

The two walked to a position not far from the stone man, and immediately found the source of the light. It was a wall lamp, nailed into the wall. Whether it is gold or brass.

The shape of the lamp was a strange animal shape. Father Lu and Lu Su had limited knowledge and didn't know what it was, but the shape was a bit like a snake.Lu Su was surprised: "Dad, what is this place? Why are there still lights on the wall?"

Father Lu shook his head and said, "It must be an antique."

For ordinary people, antiques are synonymous with value. Although the two were curious, they didn't dare to go deep, so they thought about knocking down this lamp and selling it in the city, maybe they could get a good price.

Lu's father patted Lu Su's shoulder and said: "Girls these days have high eyesight. You have no culture, and we are coffins. No girl can look up to you. If you earn money, I will give you money in a big city." Just buy a house, that's fine."

Lu Su said: "Didn't Mom just marry you?"

Father Lu laughed straight, and said, "Your mother followed me and suffered all her life. In our generation, men suffer and women suffer even more. When your mother was young, she had to earn money and take care of things inside and out. The root of the disease. But the men and women of today are different from our generation, and no one wants to wrong themselves. So, you have to work hard yourself, otherwise that girl Sun Li has high eyesight, and she can't see you. "

Lu Su scratched his head and laughed, while the two talked, they began to pry the lamp.At that time, people in the town got married relatively early, and those who did not study usually got married at the age of 20.Lu Su was just eighteen at that time, the age of Gan Chai Li Huo, and he liked Sun Li from the same town.But Lily has good grades in her studies and is about to go to a big city to go to school.There are so many tall, rich and handsome people in big cities, and he might have forgotten himself. He thought in his heart that if he could really buy a house in a big city, he would have a good time with Lily.

After thinking about it, he became very motivated, and Lu Su said, "Dad, shall we still chop the agarwood?"

Father Lu stared, and said, "Of course. I think the savage is injured, so he probably won't come out to make trouble. Let's take the lamp and take the tree back along the way." Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, there was a sudden explosion in the lamp. There was a puff of foul-smelling black smoke.

Father Lu and the other two, when they were sprayed by the black smoke, immediately felt the stench was unstoppable. If their heads were filled with oil, they would instantly become dizzy and nauseated.

"No, it's not good..." Father Lu yelled, before he had time to say anything more, the two of them fell together, and nothing happened.

When I heard this, I said: "You have been tricked. You use gold as a lamp just to arouse people's greed. There must be a mechanism hidden inside."

Lu Su shook his head and said, "We don't know either."

I said, "What happened next?"

Lu Su was silent for a while, as if he remembered something bad, and then continued after a while.

After he and Father Lu woke up, there was darkness in front of them, and their flashlights disappeared. Fortunately, Father Lu took out a plastic lighter and lit it. With the faint light of the lighter, they found themselves in the In a stone room, the floor was covered with thick dust and spider webs everywhere.

Turning his gaze, he saw a figure squatting in the corner of the stone room.

Lu Su was shocked for a moment, and staring carefully, he found that it was that savage.

God, we've been dragged into his lair by the Wildling!Lu Su subconsciously touched the ax at his waist, but the ax was gone.Not only the ax, but also the saw used by Lu's father, and two people carrying backpacks, all disappeared.

Father Lu swallowed his saliva, raised the lighter, and diffused a little light.It was only then that Lu Su realized that all his things were actually at the feet of that savage, who was studying the flashlight, rolling around on the ground, as if wondering why this thing was able to glow before, but now it doesn't light up. The curious expression left a deep impression on Lu Su to this day.

Because of the close contact, Lu Su knew that this savage was not a real savage.When he was in school, he saw in the books in the library that the savage was covered with hair, but this man only had long hair and a dirty body, but he didn't have hair.

He is likely to be alone, and he may have been injured in some way, so he has been living in the mountains and forests.After all, Lu Su was young and didn't have much knowledge, so his heart was soft at that time, and he felt that this savage was a bit pitiful.

When the lighter was turned on, the wild man turned his head and stared at Lu Su and the two. He licked his lips and made a gurgling sound from his throat, like a wild dog's threatening growl.The two of Lu Su didn't dare to move, the only weapon they were relying on now was gone.

At this time, the savage walked towards him with Lu Su's axe. There was a wound on his shoulder, which was cut by Lu Su with the axe.But now, the ax was in the hands of the savage. He was tall and came over to hold the ax. His body was soaked in blood, so he felt very coercive.

After all, Lu Su was young, and his legs were almost trembling in fright. At this moment, Lu's father rushed out, threw the savage to the ground, and at the same time shouted: "Hurry up!"

"Dad!" Lu Su yelled loudly. Although he was afraid, he couldn't escape by himself. In desperation, he rushed over and tried to suppress the savage together.The wild man was very powerful, he broke free within two strokes, and the ax in his hand slashed towards Lu Su smoothly.In the nick of time, father Lu suddenly pressed the wild man's hand and pushed him back.

He was eager to protect his son, and with great force, he pushed the savage down against the stone wall of the stone room.

Hearing a squeak, the stone wall turned out to be moving, just like a martial arts drama, the stone wall turned over abruptly, father Lu and the savage were surrounded by the stone wall, and in an instant they came to the other side, and then there was a squeak, and they closed tightly. Strictly.

Lu Su was stunned, and slapped the stone wall and shouted: "Dad, how are you, Dad?" He also knew that there was a mechanism, so he slapped around the place where the wild man hit just now, but he didn't wake up.There was no sound coming from behind the stone wall, and the entire stone room was dead silent.

After panicking, Lu Su remembered that he still had tools. They went into the mountains to cut wood, and they brought axes and iron hairpins with them. Lu Su immediately decided to smash the stone wall.

When I heard this, I immediately said, "You must have been tricked later, right?"

Lu Su was surprised: "How do you know?"

I said: "Once this kind of flip mechanism is opened by force, it will trigger other protection mechanisms. This is common sense." Those who are fighting against each other, when encountering this kind of flap mechanism, try not to use brute force as much as possible. The owner is not stupid, if you need a chisel and a hammer to solve it, what protection is there?
This is common sense to us, but Lu Su and the others don't know it. He chiseled with brute force, and halfway through the chisel, a crimson liquid suddenly flowed out from the stone wall. Before he could react, a raging flame It burned up with a bang, and in an instant, Lu Su's hair disappeared, and a scorching pain spread all over his body.To put it simply, there is actually something like kerosene hidden in the middle of the stone wall, which is difficult to extinguish when it is ignited.

Most of the people who died in the fire were actually suffocated to death by the thick smoke. In fact, the number of people who were actually burned to death was relatively small, but the pain was absolutely unbearable.Lu Su has no memory of the burning process, because the only thing he felt at that time was pain, and life was worse than death. He rolled on the ground, screamed, and rolled to some place, and the fire on his body was extinguished. up.

Immediately afterwards, for a long time, he was in a state of confusion and ignorance due to the infection.

When I heard this, I was very surprised. If he had suffered such severe burns at that time, why didn't I hear any rumors about his disfigurement after he came out of the mountain?Could it be that his injury recovered in an extremely fast time?
How on earth is this done?
I asked him why, and Lu Su recalled: "Later, my father told me that after he and that savage entered the institution, they rolled all the way to a strange place, where there were many treasures, pearls everywhere, and a big coffin in the middle. Around the coffin, there is a kind of red water."

The wild man was seriously injured before, and eventually lost, and passed out in the process of fighting against Lu's father.After all, Father Lu was an ordinary person, he didn't dare to see blood, and he couldn't really kill a person, so he threw the person into the red water, and then began to look at the surrounding environment. At this time, he was sure, I am in an ancient tomb, and this savage should regard this place as his lair.
