Tomb Raider Bronze Door Twins

Chapter 19: Zhang Qiling who slept for 1 chapter

Suddenly, the statue began to spit out sand, which accumulated on the disc in the middle. As the amount of sand continued to increase, the mechanism was triggered again, and a snake in the groove of the disc began to rotate.

"This is an Ouroboros, which symbolizes the cycle of death." Wu Yu explained while looking at the mechanism.

A young man in the team asked: "What does that mean?"

Wu Yu looked at Zhang Qiling from the corner of his eye and responded to the young man's words: "Usually it represents eternal life."

After the sand accumulated to a certain weight, the disc began to sink slowly, revealing a sarcophagus in the center.

"The coffin cannot be opened." Su Nan did not listen to Zhang Qiling's dissuasion and insisted on having the sarcophagus opened. Inside was a monster with two heads and eight hands and feet. Zhang Qiling almost felt the fear and took a step back without expecting it.

Wu Yu obviously noticed Zhang Qiling's abnormality, but when he saw Zhang Qiling bump into Bu Cun behind him, he looked away again.

"Brother Ci?" Bu Cun moved his body away. At this time, Zhang Qiling also stabilized and kept pinching the red jade bead reflexively, trying to use more pain to calm himself down.

"Carrying Yin and embracing Yang, the feet are Yin, the head is Yang, and the exit is in the head." Wu Yu said as he observed.

Su Nan noticed something with her sharp eyes, "Gem?" she asked uncertainly.

Boss Ma's attention was instantly drawn to her. She put down the handkerchief that was covering her mouth and nose and excitedly tried to get it. Zhang Qiling stared at her. It seemed that Su Nan had said that on purpose.

"The gem is a trap. Once someone takes it, no one can get out." Wu Yu said this and stopped Boss Ma.

In order to avoid public outrage, Boss Ma could only endure it and seemed to have given up on the surface, but how could this be possible? As everyone left one by one, when only he, Wu Xie, Li Cu and Zhang Qiling were left, Boss Ma took the gem away openly. But before he could do anything with the gem, it turned into ashes in Boss Ma's hand, and the switch of the main hall was instantly activated.

Four people fell into the pit of the ancient coffin. At the last moment, Wu Yi sent Li Cu out, and he fell down while being protected by Zhang Qiling. Boss Ma had no one to protect him, but fortunately Su Nan and others escaped. With her rescue, the three were rescued. But the bad thing was that the map behind Li Cu was discovered by Boss Ma, and he thought that this was the map of the real gem.

But the most terrible thing was Zhang Qiling. He actually slept very soundly in the midst of such a vicious quarrel, lying next to Li Cu, whose back was covered with scars, like a motionless sleeping beauty. He looked much softer when he was asleep, but when Bu Cun wanted to touch his mask, Zhang Qiling opened his eyes reflexively.

But at this moment, there was a sudden change, and everything outside was sinking. "Boss Ma, look! Look!" A man with a side-parted hair shouted as he looked at the collapsing sand.

"Help me walk!" Boss Ma was leaning on a crutch with one hand, and the other half of his body was supported by the man.

Su Nan also noticed something was wrong: "Run!"

Wu Yu also called out to Wang Meng. Zhang Qiling, who had just woken up, seemed not to be sleepy at all. He immediately reached for the soft blade at his waist and ran out. Bu Cun grabbed his bag and ran out of the tent with the supplies allocated to Zhang Qiling.

"Run towards the city gate!" Wu Yu commanded.

Before he could finish his words, the desert turned into a quicksand pit and the entire ground was sinking, but fortunately everyone escaped. "How could this happen?" Su Nan had just run very fast and was now gasping for breath.

"It's quicksand. It should be caused by the overturning of the underground palace yesterday. The whole area underneath should be empty." Wu Yu pointed at the camp just now.

But there was a woman in the team who refused to believe it and insisted on going back to get something. As a result, before she ran far, she fell into the quicksand. "Don't move!" everyone shouted.

"Everyone, don't move!" Wu Yu stopped everyone, "It will collapse at any time!"

The more she struggled, the faster she would sink. Obviously, the woman didn't know this. At this critical moment, Wu Yu threw out a rope, which temporarily stopped the woman from sinking. However, this action was also dangerous because the quicksand was constantly moving towards them. If they didn't leave here in time, everyone would be buried.

Zhang Qiling came to help. He was very strong and successfully worked with Wu Yu to rescue the people, but they were facing a greater crisis.

All the supplies and equipment were gone. Only Bu Cun, who was carrying a backpack, was holding supplies for himself and Zhang Qiling. It was impossible for such little supplies to support so many people to survive in the desert.

The only solution now is to find the real Gutongjing, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope.

"According to the map on the palace relief, we should go in this direction." Wu Xie pointed at the map with a dry bush. "If this underground palace is to guide the real ancient Tongjing, it should be not far from us."

With just that little bit of supplies, they soon ran out of water and food. The desert was already hot, and coupled with their constant walking, everyone soon collapsed in the desert due to extreme lack of water. Zhang Qiling was the one who held on the longest among all of them because of his physical condition.

Seeing everyone fall down, he took out the soft blade at his waist with little strength, cut open his palm, and fed the blood into Wu Xie's mouth. Seeing Li Cu with his head on the ground, he thought that this was someone Wu Xie cared about, so he pulled him up and fed him some.

Bu Cun was a smart man. He did not really donate all his supplies. He hid a few glucose bottles in his arms, but he did not plan to drink them himself. Instead, he crawled towards Zhang Qiling and handed them to him.

Zhang Qiling didn't like other people's sudden kindness towards him, but he took it anyway, and then squeezed all the glucose into Wu Yi and Li Cu's mouths without leaving a drop. As he squeezed the glucose, more blood came out of his hands, almost blurring half of Wu Yi and Li Cu's faces.

Bu Cun was anxious, but his throat was smoking and he couldn't speak, so he quickly broke open the glucose and poured it into his mouth, "You are... really a lunatic." After he cursed in a low voice, he watched Zhang Qiling fall down after holding on to his limit.

When Li Cu woke up again, he found that he was rescued by the locals. He thought he was safe, but what they didn't expect was that this was the beginning of a nightmare.

After waking up, Old Ye kept drinking water, but he felt pain all over his body after drinking. "Boss, why does he feel pain after drinking water?" Wang Meng asked Wu Yu while chewing the food in his mouth and looking at Old Ye who was in pain after guzzling water at the dining table.

"It may be caused by long-term lack of water, but the pain goes away after I drink some water." Wu Yu sipped the water, but still asked Wang Meng, "Don't you feel any pain?"

"I don't feel any pain." Wang Meng was about to chew the bread, but he still replied to Wu Yu.

Wu Yu glanced at Wang Meng and didn't realize what was going on, but he vaguely felt some connection. "Be careful." He reminded Li Cu and went upstairs to Zhang Qiling's room.

Zhang Qiling has been very sleepy since he came out from underground. He woke up once because of a quicksand collapse. Later, everyone fainted on the road, and Zhang Qiling is still sleeping now.

Bu Cun sat beside him and wiped his arms. After seeing Wu Yu, he stuffed Zhang Qiling's hands back into the quilt and never thought of taking off his mask again.

"You go out." Wu Yu looked at Bu Cun. He didn't like having outsiders present, and he also knew why Zhang Qiling was so afraid of others taking off his mask.

Bu Cun looked at Wu Di and retreated only after realizing that the other party had no ill intentions. "Brother Ci has a fever," he reminded Wu Di.

After sending everyone away, Wu Di felt the temperature of Zhang Qiling's forehead and found that he had a severe fever. His chest under his robe was rising and falling with his breathing, and his Kirin tattoo was visible. Wu Di took off his mask and wiped his face. His face was the same as the young man's, pale and weak, and a little pitiful.

Suddenly he became curious about Bu Cun's action of tucking his arm back, and when Wu Yi gently pulled his hand out, he saw that the palm of his left hand was wrapped in gauze.

Wu Yu vaguely guessed what he had done. It turned out that the bloody smell in his throat and the blood around his mouth when he just woke up did have a source.

Thinking of this, he put the mask back on the other person after wiping it. Zhang Qiling definitely wouldn't want to reveal his face to be the same as the young man's. He might think that his was just a fake that came from nowhere.
