Tomb Raider Bronze Door Twins

Chapter 137: Limb Separation

"It's not advisable to stay here for long. Don't ask anything. Just follow me." Yan Xiaonan's head hurt because of the questions from these two people. He frowned and walked quickly, not caring whether the people behind him caught up or not.

As he moved, the lights in the corridor that had been extinguished suddenly came back to life. This soft, warm light made Yan Xiaonan's body, which was half buried in the ground, look as thin and withered as a corpse.

Hei Xia Zi stayed where he was. Just as he was wondering where Yan Xiaonan would lead him, Zhang Qiling behind him suddenly passed by him.

The gust of wind brought by the other party's quick steps made Hei Xiazi's hair blow. Seeing Zhang Qiling's recklessness, how could he feel at ease? He hurriedly wanted to catch up.

But just as he took a step, he saw Zhang Qiling's knife suddenly unsheathed.

The black bear was too close to him, but he had quick reaction and instantly took half a step back to avoid it.

The sharp blade reflected the firelight and quickly swept across Hei Xiazi's eyes. He subconsciously retreated a little because of fear of the light. In this way, the distance between the two became farther.

However, after Hei Xia Zi stabilized his body, he knew that the dumb man was not attacking him.

Zhang Qiling raised his knife and intercepted Yan Xiaonan who was still walking with his knife at an inhuman speed. Moreover, he turned his wrist ruthlessly, and the blade was close to Yan Xiaonan's neck, forcing the opponent to retreat in rhythm.

The blade of his sword is forged from meteorite iron. Before it comes into contact with Qilin blood, it will be extremely cold, which will even make ordinary people feel scared.

But when Yan Xiaonan's back hit Hei Xiazi's chest, he was not surprised by the two men's attack from the front and back.

This man was too calm, as if he was not the one being threatened by Zhang Qiling. Yan Xiaonan turned his light-colored eyes and stared at the person in front of him indifferently.

"Boss, don't walk so fast! The mute is not good at speaking, but seeing you are walking in a hurry, he wants to communicate with you again." Hei Xiazi found an excuse for Zhang Qiling's behavior to prevent him from irritating Yan Xiaonan's true strength instead of testing him, and eventually getting into trouble.

Zhang Qiling did not reply, nor did he care about the excuses that Hei Xiazi gave him. He just looked at Yan Xiaonan's eyes, which were full of the dullness that only old people have. The whites of his eyes were stained with yellow from the years, and the color of his irises was so dark that it made people feel uncomfortable.

But the other one was exceptionally clear. It was a light brown color, so bright that it made people feel captivated. Especially since it was filled with the light of the fire in the corridor, the swaying heat made that eye look particularly beautiful.

But the more Zhang Qiling looked, the more uneasy he felt. In order to regain his sanity, he pushed the knife deeper. When he saw that no blood could flow from Yan Xiaonan's neck, his doubts grew.

"You are not a human." Finally, Zhang Qiling said in confusion.

Then he asked, "Where to?"

"It's a human, just a living dead. You don't have time now. You can only follow me, to the ultimate, to the real door." Yan Xiaonan moved the knife away with his fingertips. The cut on his throat was healing at an inhuman speed.

Hei Xiazi could probably guess that Zhang Qiling's previous knife attack had no effect at all. He turned to Yan Xiaonan with a serious face and stood shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Qiling. He leaned close to Zhang Qiling's ear and said, "Mute, follow him now. I feel something is following us."

"If you want to live, then run! I told you not to listen to me and leave quickly, but you have to wait until the limbs of that thing catch up before you get anxious!" Yan Xiaonan got angry at this time, and his legs, which originally needed crutches to support, actually limped and ran very fast.

The space suddenly began to shake continuously, which allowed Zhang Qiling to feel the huge size of the person coming.

The next moment, Zhang Qiling, who was about to meet the enemy, was dragged away by Hei Xia Zi. "What's wrong with you today, you dumb? Are you standing there waiting for him to hit you?"

Hei Xia Zi had already seen the true nature of that thing from the darkness in the distance. It was a tentacle with almost no source. As it crawled, it would cleverly extinguish the eternal lamp hanging in the corridor. Its movement speed was much faster than imagined.

Soon, Hei Xia Zi felt the slime of the mollusk stuck to the soles of his shoes, making every step particularly difficult.

Zhang Qiling knew that Hei Xia Zi was being held back by him, so he pried his hands apart and indicated that he wanted to run away.

But the tentacles behind him were like radars, and they could even accurately strike the footprints of Zhang Qiling's previous foot. Especially during the occasional sudden attacks, after he dodged them, Zhang Qiling's down jacket would continuously overflow with cotton.

Yan Xiaonan, who was far ahead of the team, didn't know whether he had eyes on the back of his head or something else, but he shouted loudly, "This thing chases light. If you don't want to be caught, throw away your broken flashlight!"

Zhang Qiling's body reacted extremely quickly. Almost at the moment he received the order to survive, he threw the flashlight behind him, and it rushed out at a speed so fast that it was like a flying knife that could take someone's life.

The tentacle reacted quickly as well. It simply raised its tongue-like end and pierced the flashlight directly from the light shield to the bottom. Under the impact of the two layers of force, the flashlight broke and splashed under the heavy weight, leaving the air with only the sound of breathing and the crackling sound of electric current spreading in a sticky liquid.

Fortunately, when Zhang Qiling lost the luminous object, the tentacles also extinguished all light sources in the corridor.

When everyone merged into the darkness again, the tentacles stopped, and the sound of their sticky crawling gradually became slow, and finally, like a slug, the distance they moved could not be measured in millimeters.

"You said... it has limbs, then where is its main body?" Hei Xia Zi leaned against the wall to support his body so as not to fall down, then spoke.

The wounds on his body caused by the red line had not yet healed completely and he could not withstand any big movements.

Yan Xiaonan's walking stick made a banging sound when he was running on the ground just now. The bottom is probably about to spark. He continued walking without any concern for Hei Xia Zi's physical condition. "I can't say for sure. It followed Yan Guangshan a thousand years ago. A thousand years later, after my son dealt a fatal blow to the Yan family led by Yan Guangshan, it disappeared along with them."

"Yan Bucun is quite entertaining..." Hei Xiazi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Zhang Qiling, who didn't understand the situation at all.

Obviously, Zhang Qiling's bright eyes were staring at him in the darkness, waiting for a reasonable explanation and Yan Xiaonan's answer.

Hei Xia Zi smiled and said, "My boss has a son, you probably haven't seen him... His name is Yan Bucun, and he's quite rich."

This review is actually quite true!

But Zhang Qiling was not someone who cared about money. In his mind, he gradually constructed the figure who had once observed him in Laoai Village.

"I have seen it." Zhang Qiling replied, "Follow me."

However, Hei Xia Zi is not currently concerned about Zhang Qiling's so-called meeting. After all, he can observe with his eagle eyes that the meeting between Zhang Qiling and Yan Bucun should not be that important.

What is more urgent is to get more information out of Yan Xiaonan.

"What kind of fatal blow did Yan Bucun deal to the Yan family that he could even let this monster escape?" After Hei Xia Zi recovered, he followed again and pulled Zhang Qiling, who could only grope in the dark by feeling.

After Yan Xiaonan escaped from danger, he still had no intention of saying anything, but as he was walking, he suddenly asked Hei Xiazi, "How is he now?"

When Hei Xiazi saw that the other party showed signs of loosening up in his words, he slipped in as sleekly as a loach.

"So, boss, do you want to hear good things or bad things?" asked Hei Xia Zi.

The old man's cane now hit with much lighter force, but Hei Xia Zi felt that this did not mean that Yan Xiaonan had softened his attitude because of Yan Bucun, but that the other party was just interested.

Yan Xiaonan lived up to Hei Xia Zi's expectations and said, "Listen to the bad news first."

"Bad one? He seems unable to eat meat. Does this count?" Hei Xia Zi tried to find some faults in Yan Bucun, a nearly perfect man.

Yan Xiaonan shook his head and sighed, without commenting.

Hei Xia Zi thought that the other party was dissatisfied, so he tried to find another way of words and couldn't help but tighten his grip on Zhang Qiling's hand.

Zhang Qiling, feeling the pressure from his hands, stared suspiciously at the suddenly nervous Hei Xia Zi, but he saw the other party grinning and saying, "He has very sharp ears, but he can't hear sounds that are too rhythmic."

This time, these kind words made Yan Xiaonan completely silent, without even a sigh.

Hei Xia Zi thought that what he said was not pleasing, so he wanted to say something boastful like "your eldest son is very handsome and has some of your grace and elegance" to flatter him. However, Yan Xiaonan turned around and looked at Hei Xia Zi with a complicated look.

Yan Xiaonan's light-colored eyes lit up again, and people could vaguely see something brewing in them.

"You have been fooled by him. His ears don't have that kind of special talent... However, it is possible that he has exchanged them for some special abilities. It is too simple to just have excellent hearing." When Yan Xiaonan said this, it was as if he had got a trump card that made him unsatisfied.

Hei Xia Zi didn't think that Yan Bucun's big reaction was a deception, so he was more inclined to believe that the other party had really exchanged something. Obviously, Yan Xiaonan thought so too.
