Tomb Raider: Villain System, Start with Umbrella Corporation

Chapter 23 The Zhang family must go into hard mode if they want to be strong (2)

"Next, by ..."

The black blind man with evil intentions wanted Zhang Qiling to introduce the basic situation of Jingjue Ancient City, but when he paused, the mute knew that his honeycomb-like mind was up to no good.

He raised two unusually long fingers in front of his eyes and slowly pointed in the direction of the blind man.

"Well, let me, your dear Black Blind Man, briefly introduce the Jingjue Ancient City to you."

"First, the route." Raising his hand, Da Huang cooperated and printed out a holographic three-dimensional map.

"Take the train to Urumqi, Xinjiang, and start from Bosten Lake to the southwest. Go west along the Peacock River, find the ancient river bend heading south, cross the river bend and head southwest to the ancient city of Xiye. The Gusu Prince's Tomb is located under the Gusu Holy Well Altar in the ancient city of Xiye. Continue to head southwest into the sand sea area, find the trace of the Zidu Dark River, and go south along the Dark River. At the place where it disappears, there will be a valley guarded by two huge magnetic mountains. Entering the Zaglama Valley means entering the gate of the ancient city of Jingjue."

"This is too easy, how difficult is it? Even a wild child can walk this stretch of road with his eyes closed!"

Zhang Hailou, who was sitting on the side preparing, complained without even raising his head. Although the desert, jungle and ocean are known as forbidden areas for humans, it is really nothing for the Zhang family who have been walking on the line between life and death for many years.

Although the Zhang family members who were watching below didn't say anything, their arrogant eyes and their expressions that said "don't test me with the level of ordinary people" were still there.

"Okay!" Hei Xiazi glanced at the naughty kid, and for the sake of the salary, he let out a sigh and spoke again.

"First, take the [tightly guarded] train to the [military blockade] Urumqi, cross the [sacred] [Demon's Nest in the Sand Sea] southwest of the [sacred] Bosten Lake, go west along the [dangerous] Peacock River to find the [bone-filled] Peacock River Bay, pass through the [elusive] Xiye Ancient City, enter the [life-threatening] Black Desert, find the [ghostly] Zidu Dark River hidden underground, go south, and find the [weird] huge magnetic mountain when [your life is hanging by a thread],"

The heavy and depressing tone created a sense of crisis and despair along the way. Everyone nodded with satisfaction and puffed out their chests. This was the test for the Zhang family.

Zhang Musi almost laughed out loud. This wicked black blind man really has a secret recipe for dealing with the Zhang family! If the Wang family asks him to be a consultant, let alone 1000 years, it is estimated that they will not be successful before the Lunar New Year.

"Cough cough" Hei Xia Zi always felt like he was cheating the village chief's stupid son out of candy. He coughed twice guiltily, and then went on to introduce his Jingjue Ancient City and the Guidong Clan.

It feels really different to listen to these people talk about history. Although Zhang Musi doesn't understand much, I feel that it is much better than the Qianjia Lecture Room back then. There are countless historical evidence sources at their fingertips, and there is never a single personal guess or divergent understanding of anything on the ground or underground, but it is so rich that it is astonishing.

The blind man didn't talk for too long. They were all thousand-year-old monsters, so there was no need to play any Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. That was enough to explain the basic situation.

"set off!"

At Zhang Hailou's command, everyone stood up and the scene around them began to change instantly. The vast lake seemed like an endless sea, the sky was covered with yellow sand, and the sandstorm generated in the high-difficulty mode instantly blurred the boundary between heaven and earth.

The simulation training ground for this route cannot be restored in full scale, but all the disasters that exist in the preset will be simulated and triggered.

Zhang Hailou and his team rapidly experienced all the difficulties they could encounter in a very short period of time. In the desert, they relied only on their own eyes to clearly identify the road under their feet, and finally officially entered the Zaglama Valley.

In the center of the ruined ancient city is a huge black tower. The four of them quickly observed the information on each floor.

"The walls are all engraved with ghost cave texts. The carvings inside the tower are arranged in levels. The first layer of black stone sheep symbolizes livestock. The second layer of stone people are people from the Western Regions. The third layer is a black stone man with huge pupils, which represents eye worship. The fourth layer is a male stone statue with a snake body and a human head, with a black ball behind his head. The fifth layer is empty, and the walls around are engraved with ghost cave texts, which are tentatively symbolizing imaginary space. The top of the sixth layer is a full-body stone statue of the Queen of Jingjue. The huge black ball on the top of the tower should be an eyeball totem. Preliminary analysis shows that there is a layer underground, which should be a stone statue of the evil ghost Asura."

Zhang Danshan knew Guidongwen. Although the simulated training space restored the original appearance and hidden dangers of the target site 1:1, some marginal information was still blurred.

Zhang Musi chose to load the simulation training base as soon as the hive was established. The fundamental purpose was to ensure the safety of the Zhang family in the ancient tomb. In his opinion, this thing was a cheat for tomb robbers. All dangers could be encountered in the simulation training. Coupled with the Zhang family's intervention, if someone else died in the ancient tomb, it would definitely be a scam!

He stopped risking human lives to open up wasteland and weeds after he was promoted to silver.

Zhang Jinnan, who was observing from the rooftop, blew the ghost whistle and quickly flew towards a building in the city that was taller than ordinary houses.

【Discover the Temple】

Zhang Xiaoshe glanced at the black tumor behind the snake man's head, touched the cold snake body at his waist, turned around and jumped out of the black tower, counted a few steps across the roof of the ruins, and ran towards the temple.

The yellow sand covered the temple door of the black stone beast's mouth. Several people worked quickly and dug a passage in a short while.

The grand stone hall is supported by sixteen giant stone pillars, and a jade eyeball is enshrined at the deepest point.

Zhang Hailou took the lead and everyone lined up in a team. Zhang Xiaoshe shook his body at the end of the team, and instantly five snakes rushed towards the crowd like lightning. A bright red snake coiled around the wrist with its head raised, staring at the surroundings cautiously.

When I got closer, I found that the jade eyeball was extremely lifelike, as big as a human head, with red blood vessels naturally formed in the jade distributed around the blue pupil. The entire eyeball pupil was facing upwards, facing the dome. If you look closely, you can even see the dense texture inside the pupil. This natural creation is so natural that it can be regarded as extremely weird.

Zhang Jinnan carefully examined the space around him and the irregular-shaped groove just above his eyeball.

"This is a multi-body temple. The eyeballs are mechanical eyes. The grooves are activated with jade pendant keys. The sixteen pillars are grouped in four. The stone pillars are separated from the stone grooves. When the mechanism is opened, the jade eyeballs fall off and the stone pillars are activated."

There are six eyeballs on the upper part of the stone pillar, and there is a semicircular notch above one of the eyeballs.

Zhang Jinnan chose a stone pillar carved with a totem of a man with giant pupils, climbed to the side of the gap with his bare hands, took out a thin object like a fishing rod with a small mirror hanging at the end, and handed it to the gap.

"The hexagonal stone base has six variations. Stone pipes are embedded in the stone pillars, which are suspected to be transmission pipeline devices. There are 6 terminal mechanisms around it, which can activate six variations. The rest are traps."

After he finished speaking, he drew the scimitar from his waist, moved quickly on the ground in a strange posture, and stopped when he reached the depths of the temple.

This step is the tomb-exploring mechanism body method that the Zhang family has taught since childhood. It ensures that the pathfinder can react quickly to any mechanism he faces.

He tapped the ground a few times with his hands and stood up.

“This is the underground entrance.”

"Single lock in the shape of a beam, one-way trigger, giant gate formation." After saying this, he knocked along one direction of the hexagonal floor tiles, and finally came to a stone pillar and made a gesture.

The mechanism to open the door is right here.
