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

Chapter 60 Mandrill, Bone Flute

There was a faint wind blowing in the dark cave, and after the four of them saw the stillborn fetus in the ceramic jar, their necks felt cold.

It was gloomy, as if being pinched by a pair of invisible hands.

"This thing looks evil. Should we dispose of it or find a place to bury it so that the child can rest in peace? It's better than soaking in the water."

"Forget it, I don't know anything, it would be bad if I violated some taboo."

"I think what Xiao Shi said is right. Fatty, don't think too much. If you're afraid, don't read."

"Tsk, Chief of Staff Yang, that's why you look down on people. How can you tell that I'm scared."

Old Hu glared at him, "Stop talking nonsense."

"This fetus is already dead, let it be left here, and we will bury him when we find a good time."

After saying this, he put his eyes on the bronze box, "There are still two grids inside that I haven't seen, I'll go and have a look."

Shirley Yang and Lao Hu also got up and went over, only the fat man lingered.

Shi Lei glanced back at him, thinking: This time he has learned a lot, and knows to be more careful.

Standing next to the bronze box, without waiting for them to come forward, he reached out and took out the things in the second grid.

"Ok?"

"what happened?"

"It's okay, this one is very light." After finishing speaking, he came out with a cowhide bag in his right hand.

The bag is huge and has not rotted in the slightest.

Perhaps because it has been kept in a bronze box and sealed in water, the air is not circulating, so it is well preserved.

He touched it and found that it had a smooth texture. It should be made of the fur of leopards, lynxes and other animals.

This bag is larger than the ceramic jar, but its weight is very light. Several people do not have high hopes for the contents inside.

But I still have to open it and have a look, after all, it's all taken out.

The bag was fastened by a ox rope, which was strong.

And the way of knotting is very peculiar, Shirley Yang pondered for a while before opening it.

"A woman is still careful."

Xue Liyang smiled and handed the bag to Shi Lei.

The three people gathered around him. He took a deep breath and slowly opened it.

Immediately, several people gasped.

"Is this a bone?"

"It doesn't look like it, yes it has so few bones."

"Then what if it belongs to a child, isn't there a fetus in that ceramic jar? This King Xian is so perverted, he can't do anything."

A few people talked to each other, Shi Lei didn't respond, and directly took out a bone similar to a human jaw.

"It's not a human bone."

One sentence shocked the three of them, "If it's not human bones, what are they?"

"Such a small bone is either a child's or an animal's, but you can see that the teeth are very worn, so it must not be a child's, so it must be an animal's."

Shi Lei explained it very clearly, and seeing Shirley Yang nodding his head, Lao Hu and Fatty also believed it.

"Then what kind of animal is this? It must be very powerful to be preserved here, right?"

"As far as I know, there is an animal here called the mandrill, which is regarded as a mountain god by the Zhelong Shanyi people. I think this should be the bone of the mandrill."

After finishing speaking, he put it under the searchlight and took a closer look, "It's similar to what I learned, do you have any ideas?"

"We don't know anything about these things. If you say it's a mandrill, then it's a mandrill."

After several people knew that these were not human bones, they felt much better and no longer felt frightened.

Looking at the bag in his hand, Shi Lei suddenly thought that when he touched it, he didn't hear the beep.

Unwilling, he felt that he must have left something behind.

He squatted on the ground, found a piece of cloth and spread it on the ground, and then poured out everything in the bag.

Under the white searchlights, the thick bones were even more creepy, Shi Lei couldn't help shivering.

"Hiss... Commissioner Shi, why did you pour out these things?"

"It's nothing, I just want to see what else is left here?"

"Then let me help you." The fat man squatted down and helped him find it together, but this time he didn't reach out to touch it anymore.

"Commissioner Shi, why do you think the King Xian put the mandrill bones here?"

"Hmm... it should be to rule the local people here. They regard the mandrill as a mountain god and sacrifice it to Huo's Undead Worm. Then the mountain god is a big bug."

The fat man blinked. He didn't understand these issues left over from history, and he didn't have the mood or time to take them seriously.

Just nod your head as you know it.

Shi Lei fiddled with those bones, looking anxious.

It seems that there is nothing to look for. It should be that these things are too worthless, and it is understandable that the system cannot detect them.

Thinking of this, he got up and left, leaving Fatty watching.

"Huh? What is this?"

Just two steps away, I heard the fat man asking questions behind me.

The fat man was pointing to a big bone and looking up at him.

Shi Lei looked over and saw a small bone flute at the joint of a leg bone.

"It turned out to be hidden in such a hidden place, no wonder I couldn't find it."

Squatting down again, he carefully took out the bone flute, for fear of breaking it.

Gu Di is very small, only the size of an index finger, but seven holes are drilled in it, and the whistle is also made of green jade.

He weighed it twice in his hand, and it was full of weight.

The fat man on the side leaned over, looking forward to it, he found this thing.

"Thanks to you this time, if it weren't for your carefulness, we wouldn't have found such a good thing."

After getting the Bone Di, Shi Lei was very happy because he heard the sound coming from the system.

[Contact Gu Di, get [-] energy experience points. ]
I was overjoyed. I didn't expect that such a small Gudi could get fifty energy check points, which was more than that clay pot.

It seems that what is concentrated is the essence.

After getting the compliment, the fat man was very happy, and he stopped scrambling to get the bone flute, but stood there obediently.

"Commissioner Shi, what do you think this thing is used for?"

"This should be something used by the mountain god. The Zhelong Mountain people live in this dense forest and are often harassed by wild beasts. This bone is probably used by the mountain god to communicate with the wild beasts."

Frowning, he obviously disagreed with this statement.

"Is this thing so magical? It can still communicate with wild beasts."

"That's not true. People in ancient times were superstitious. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come up with the idea of ​​offering sacrifices to mountain gods, and they wouldn't have killed so many people. Just listen to it."

The two were messing with things here. Fatty and Shirley Yang rushed over when they saw the things in their hands. They couldn't help being surprised when they saw the things in their hands.
