Tomb Raider: Starting from the Valley of Insects, integrating Golden Silkworm Gu

Chapter 6 Traveling Through the Forest of Terracotta Warriors

Brother Peacock stopped talking, no matter how he asked, he didn't know a single sentence.

Several people ate quickly, and after filling their stomachs, they started to work on the last work.

The light rain was drizzling, but it was not heavy. After the few people made the bamboo raft, they found two more bamboo poles.

I went up and swiped twice, no problem, ready to go.

"Take care, I'm going back."

After the words fell, he left without looking back.

The few people didn't care, and slowly drove into the cave.

The entrance to the cave is narrow and extremely dark inside.

Several people turned on the headlights, Fatty and Lao Hu were at the bow and stern respectively, Shi Lei and Xue Liyang were in the middle, the journey was relatively smooth.

The water is very deep, and the bamboo pole can only reach the bottom when it is completely submerged.

Shi Lei took a look, "The water depth is 13 meters."

The three of them looked at him one after another, "Are you sure?"

"almost!"

After a few words, silence fell again.

Looking around, this place was pretty much the same as he had imagined.

The deep cave is surrounded by gradually petrified stalactites, which are yellow and turbid in color and have been around for a long time.

The water level has risen in recent years, and several people standing on the bamboo raft seem a little cramped.

When reaching some low places, you have to lean slightly to pass.

In a closed place, it is easy for people to lose their sense of time. Not only do they go straight for a long time, but a fork suddenly appears in front of them.

"Look, there are two roads, which one should we take?" the fat man asked, pointing ahead.

Hu Bayi took out the human skin map from his backpack and checked it against the terrain ahead.

"It looks like you should take the right side."

As soon as the words fell, the bamboo raft suddenly bumped, and after falling heavily, it was hit by a whirlpool.

Several people staggered, and the bamboo poles in their hands were not grasped firmly.A turn, turned into the left road.

After standing still, the few people couldn't help gasping when they saw the scene in front of them.

They saw a huge stone-carved beast's mouth suddenly appearing in front of them, with its mouth wide open and sharp teeth showing, giving people a sense of oppression.

In front of the beast's mouth is a huge bead, the texture of which cannot be seen due to the darkness.

But on the whole, it can be known that this place is definitely not simple.

Several people got off the track of the map, and they were all a little panicked.

But Shi Lei remained calm, as if he knew all this long ago.

I looked up and looked calmly, "Don't worry, Brother Peacock said, these rivers all lead to a place in the end, as long as we walk down, we can find it."

Hearing this, several people stabilized their minds.

Fatty and Old Hu's hands supporting the bamboo pole became stronger, and they slowly crossed into the beast's mouth.

After entering, the air became thinner, and he smelled an obscure and familiar smell.

At the same time, the tattoo on his back was tingling faintly, accompanied by a strong burning sensation.

"It's almost there." Thinking to himself, he slowly stood up.

"I think this place is unusual, please turn on the lights and drive carefully."

As the distance got closer, the smell became stronger and stronger, and the obscurity became bloody and rotten.

The entrance of the cave became narrower and narrower, and several times, the bamboo raft touched the banks.

"stop!"

"What's wrong? Chief of Staff Yang."

"Stone figurines." Shirley Yang turned the flashlight to the brightest, "Stop by the side, I'll go and have a look."

Stopping to the side, she jumped down lightly, stepped firmly on the stone, leaned over and used the tip of the knife to pick apart the dry skin of the stone figurine.

With the lessons learned from the fat man, Shirley Yang is far away and will not be entangled by black air.

"Sister Yang, be careful, this kind of poison is very annoying."

As he said that, he also jumped down, squatted beside the stone figurines, and secretly put his hand under the figurines.

All three were shocked, "Xiaoshi, stay away."

"I am fine."

"That's right, let's not make a fuss, Commissioner Shi saved me back then, such a dead bug can't hurt Commissioner Shi!"

The fat man changed the subject and smiled all over his face.

The other two rolled their eyes at him, Shi Lei snorted.

Continuing with the movement of the hand, his eyes are piercing, pretending to observe attentively.

In fact, the whole body's attention is on the right hand and the tattoo. The eggs are dead, but there is still a lot of energy.

[Insect Gu energy absorbed +0, 1]

[Insect Gu energy absorbed +0, 1]

【…】

The system's beeps kept ringing in his mind, and at the same time, he could feel a warm current running through his body.

However, the Golden Snake Immortal Gu did not awaken new abilities this time, presumably because the experience value is too little.

However, it's also good to take in some energy and get fit.

After absorbing it, he stood up.

Adjust the headlights to the darkest level, but the scenery in front of you is still clear.

The more energy absorbed, the sharper his five senses and the more agile his movements.

Seeing him get up, Shirley Yang raised her eyes and asked, "What did you see?"

"Yes, Commissioner Shi, you have a high degree of education, tell us, what's going on with this thing?"

"Stone figurines, as the name suggests, these are made of living people as carriers to cultivate Gu worms."

He walked while talking, first helped Shirley Yang onto the bamboo raft, and then jumped up himself.

The bamboo raft shook for a while, causing ripples on the river surface.

Just like his words stirred up waves in everyone's hearts.

The fat man looked indignant, "This old man Xian Wang is really ugly, these are real people!"

"I haven't finished talking yet, these people were all bewitched when they were alive."

"What?! Then they were tortured to death!"

The fat man clenched his hands, and the bamboo raft took a big step forward.

"Look, what is the blackness in front of you!"

The fat man stared wide-eyed, and speeded up his hands, "There won't be any water ghosts in this place!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Lao Hu rolled his eyes at him.

Shi Lei took two steps forward. He already knew what it was, but when he saw it, he was still quite shocked.

Now, everyone could see clearly that there was a group of stone figurines in front of them, all hanging upside down from the ceiling of the cave.

They were male, female, old and young, with different expressions, twisted and ferocious, and it seemed that they had been greatly tortured during their lifetime.

One stone figurine is enough for them to drink a pot, and there are hundreds of them here, making their heads dazed.

Sighing slightly, he continued to explain.

"The Gu worms enter the body, absorb nutrients from the internal organs, and drink blood to devour the flesh. King Xian raised the Gu worms as babies, and they became fatter and fatter, but the people died."

Breathing stagnated, the four of them fell silent, and the water droplets on the top of the cave fell into the water, and there was an ethereal ticking sound.

"Then who are these people?"

"Slaves, common people, most of them are the people who built the tomb passage!"

"Anyway, it won't be those ruling classes." Lao Hu added.

Although they were surprised, they did not relax their vigilance.

The bamboo raft entered the forest of figurines, and they bent over, dodging left and right.

Occasionally, when I look up, I will meet a blue-black face with cracks, and goose bumps will immediately spread all over my body.

Without saying a word, the few people held their breaths and carefully drew out the forest of figurines.

The moment the bamboo raft came out, several people breathed a sigh of relief.
