Tomb Raider: I have a coffin-opening crit compensation!

Chapter 198 Ancient Golden Tree!

The passage is very dark and long, and only a little light in the distance can be seen clearly.

Luo Wannian walked quickly in front, and Hu Bayi followed closely, although the speed changed from Luo Wannian's.

Fang Ye and the others followed behind Hu Bayi. He didn't take out the crystal ball. Sometimes, it's not good to look too much.

For some reason, this dark passage always gave Fang Ye a very weird feeling.

The place under his feet is soft, as if walking in wet soil, and occasionally he can even feel a little bit of water falling, emitting this stench.

Fang Ye asked Chu Jian to try to manipulate the ground under his feet, but found that it was difficult to shake it at all.

It explained that the material of the wet soil-like ground under his feet was unknown. Fang Ye could instinctively think of a possibility, and his heart tightened. It seemed that Luo Wannian could not die for the time being.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, they finally came to the bright place.

Taking a step forward, his eyes couldn't help squinting due to the stimulation of the strong light. After getting used to it, Fang Ye and the others were shocked by the scene in front of them.

Under their feet is a very long cobblestone road, each cobblestone is very round, smooth and translucent.

At the end of the cobblestone road is a pure white building in the shape of a column. Where the cobblestone is connected, there is a tall black stone gate with a stone statue on each side.

In the entire pure white building, except for the black stone gate, there are no windows connected to the outside world.

The only place connected to the outside world is above the pure white building, which has no roof and is completely exposed.

A tall golden old tree rose from the pure white building, passed through the open roof, and grew to a very high place, about tens of meters high.

Seeing the towering tree top, Fang Ye and the others noticed that the space at the end of the passage was ridiculously large, if they hadn't seen the stone wall above the tree top.

They even feel that this is not underground, but a vast and endless plain.

The old golden tree has dozens of branches, and each branch is as thick as several people. Three or four people can pass through the door at the same time.

Its trunk is thicker, only a circle smaller than the pure white building. From a distance, the pure white building looks like a flowerpot of a giant golden tree, which looks extremely small.

On both sides of the cobblestone road, there are all kinds of weird plants, which Fang Ye and the others have never seen before.

Some plants don't have any branches and leaves, only a bare trunk with a green flower bud the size of a human head on top.

When a strange-looking bug passed by, the green flower bone the size of a human head suddenly opened its huge mouth, swallowed the bug in one gulp, and then returned to calm.

Fang Ye saw the flower bud that opened suddenly, and even felt that he could bite off an ordinary-sized head in one bite.

The weird plants on both sides are far more than that one, there are many more, hiding their own ferocity, just waiting for the prey to come, and then kill them with one blow!
At the same time, Fang Ye noticed that the creatures in this space, except for those weird plants, were almost all bugs, and it was difficult to see normal animals.

It seems that Luo Wannian did not lie, this place is very likely to be the tomb of the god of the insect gu god.

Under the leadership of Luo Wannian, they set foot on the cobblestone road and walked towards the pure white building not far away.

"Damn, why are the cobblestones under my feet wobbling?" the fat man muttered.

Fang Ye heard the sound and looked, and found that all the cobblestones that the fat man walked on had changed their orientation, and some of them were even shriveled.

"Who made you so fat that even pebbles can't bear your weight."

Fang Ye joked, but his eyes were always paying attention to the cobblestones that the fat man stepped on, observing the changes.

"It's clearly because the quality of the cobblestone road is not good. The fat man has lost a lot of weight than before. Don't talk nonsense." The fat man curled his lips and said.

Soon, as the fat man walked, Fang Ye discovered the clues. Wherever the fat man walked, the cobblestones seemed to have encountered high temperature, and they seemed to be avoiding themselves. Those who could not escape were scalded and shrank.

Could it be that Fatty's beriberi is already so severe? !

Fortunately, the fat man couldn't hear Fang Ye's heart, otherwise, he would have punched Fang Ye.

However, this discovery raised Fang Ye's vigilance towards this underground space by several levels. If he guessed correctly, this underground space may finally come back to life!

"Gentlemen, the tomb of the gods has arrived." Luo Wannian said politely.

Then he faced the black stone gate and dripped three drops of his own blood on the door knocker. After the door knocker absorbed the blood, it turned blood red all over and knocked on the door three times automatically.

After three rings, the black stone door opened automatically, revealing the scene inside.

In the pure white building, this huge statue stands in the center, and behind the statue is the huge golden old tree.

In front of the statue is a circle of transparent material shield, which surrounds the statue, as if protecting something or guarding against something.

Outside the transparent shield, on the front of the statue, there is a quaint sacrificial table with two candles on it, one black and one white.

Strangely, as soon as they walked into the quaint sacrificial table, the black and white candles on it automatically lit up, the faint fire light lit up, and white smoke drifted out from the candles.

At this moment, like a pilgrimage, Luo Wannian took out a bundle of yellow paper money and a bundle of red long incense from his arms, placed them on the sacrificial table, and performed the sacrificial ceremony.

Fang Ye took a special look. The yellow paper money was different from what they saw in the outside world. The material was not like paper.

It looks more like it's made of the skin of some kind of creature.

Paper money is not an ordinary thing, and the red long incense is even more so. After being lit, there is a faint smell of blood mixed with a wisp of intoxicating fragrance.

Fang Ye quietly took out the crystal ball used in Xianwang's tomb, and found that the color in the crystal ball was stable and did not change. He was relieved. It seemed that the burning incense did not contain poisonous substances.

Seeing that Luo Wannian was slowly carrying out the sacrificial ceremony, the fat man who was bored with waiting dragged Fang Ye and Chu Jian to wander around the wall, Liu Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang stared at Luo Wannian behind Luo Wannian .

Inside the pure white building, after the statue and sacrificial table in the center, there is nothing else. A circle of stairs built against the wall is built on the surrounding walls, spiraling up along the stone wall, leading to the highest point.

In the gap between the stairs, there is a circle of ancient murals, and some mysterious words are carved on it.

Of course, Fang Ye and Fatty didn't know these ancient and mysterious objects, so they could only guess based on some pictographic symbols.

Seeing that Fang Ye and Fatty translated Lie Gui into Lie Yan, Chu Jian couldn't stand it any longer. He came to the mural and translated the story in the mural for them.

However, Chu Jian's skills are only half a lake, and he can barely give a general idea after bumps and bumps.

It was a dark and stormy night...
