Tomb Raider Bronze Door Twins

"Speak clearly and don't play dumb." Yan Bugun didn't want to listen to the riddle teller talking nonsense, piecing together something incomprehensible, and then trying to fool him for a long time.

Yan Xiaonan blinked at him twice, then smiled and looked away at Zhang Qiling. His lips moved slightly and his voice was low, as if he was chanting an ancient spell. "I know your purpose is to fight against the power behind the door. You think you are the key to open the door, and you think you can stop it all, but you think too simply. What it needs is you, and it is waiting for you to fall into its trap willingly."

"What do you mean?" Yan Bucun pondered and checked the seats in his car. There should be enough space for Yan Xiaonan. He hated Yan Xiaonan as the starting point of all evil, but he still hoped to have one more person to help him on this journey.

In order to ensure the success of his final plan, he was willing to give up his emotions.

Yan Xiaonan saw the sign that Yan Bucun was about to give in, so he waved his hand, signaling him to come closer. When Yan Bucun leaned forward, he spoke, "I didn't know what it needed my eye for, but a few days ago, through prediction, I finally figured it out. It needed a carrier for resurrection from the beginning to the end, so it chose me to use my eyeball for experiments, but this is definitely a failed method, so it chose to use my brother to replace me to carry out the ritual it prepared at the beginning, which is soul exchange, swapping the two souls and being reborn in a new body."

"It's a pity that Yan Guangshan failed." Yan Bucun's gloomy eyes became darker, and then he continued, "So, what you want to say is that I am its next means of resurrection, the third layer of insurance, and now it needs me to fall into its trap."

Noticing that more and more people were staring at each other, Yan Bucun turned sideways and signaled with his eyes that Yan Xiaonan should continue speaking.

"It wanted to get out, and you were the first substance it created out of thin air. Your uniqueness and importance are unmatched by anyone. You were suddenly placed next to me. I once thought this was part of the deal. It helped me save my brother, and I took care of you. But later, it used its sophistry to make my brother and I target you together. However, its desire to revive was overshadowed by the hatred between me and my brother. Until today, it couldn't bear it anymore, so it induced you to have the idea of ​​meeting it." Yan Xiaonan's monochrome eyes were bright, but they had already turned a light pink, as if they had softened because of his heart.

The father-son relationship and blood connection between the two were all false. All the facts stated by Yan Xiaonan told Yan Bucun that you are an exception in this world. If you want to save your life, you should stay as far away from that magic city as possible.

Yan Xiaonan saw that Yan Bucun had not responded for a long time, so he stared at his face, trying to see the slightest change in it, until he spoke again. In the dark night, he was merciless and tore apart all the decency and tranquility in the world. He said:

"That's where it all began, and that's where you end."

After hearing this, Yan Bucun's hand slowly moved towards his chest where the Ghost Seal was stored. This was the first chance he had exchanged for the past ten years to face it head-on. It was also the only way to solve Wu Di's current condition and Aqi's two souls.

"But after listening to what you said, I'm even more curious about what it could be." Yan Bucun has never been a person bound by outward rationality. He has ambition and determination to move forward without looking back. He looks cowardly but is actually strong. No one can change the choice he has made.

Moreover, his height allowed him to look down at Yan Xiaonan, but his eyes were full of tenderness, but it was for another person.

Yan Bucun lowered his voice to a very low level, as if whispering to Yan Xiaonan, "Aqi wants Wu Yu to live, how dare I let him die."

If he was the one who died this time, but Aqi's wish could be fulfilled, then he would be happy to do so.

He had never lived his whole life to welcome its resurrection. He knew that when he truly possessed the ability to distinguish right from wrong, that god would be the only one remaining in his world.

Zhang Qiling, I will give you everything.

Because I am your most sincere believer, no doubt about it.

"Get in the car." Yan Bucun grabbed Yan Xiaonan's neck without questioning, "This trip depends on you."

Yan Xiaonan lay quietly in his palm, but he did not feel embarrassed about being offended by a kid. He forced a smile on his wrinkled face, "You have calculated that my brother will go too. For you, or for Zhang Qiling, he will definitely go."

"You guessed right." Yan Bucun opened the back door of the lead car, faced Zhang Qiling's puzzled gaze, and threw Yan Xiaonan into the car. "Huo Daofu, take good care of him and don't let him die on the road."

He knew that Yan Xiaonan would not die, but it would be easier to find someone to watch over him. Huo Daofu's glasses reflected the light. He frowned and looked past Zhang Qiling's body to the shrunken old man, but he could only nod doubtfully, "Okay."

Zhang Qiling tensed his body slightly and moved a little further away from Yan Xiaonan. Although he knew that they would not fight, he just felt inexplicably uneasy. Perhaps it was because the other person's prying gaze was too hot and made him feel as if the right side of his face was being burned.

"This should be our second meeting." Yan Xiaonan continued to stare at Zhang Qiling without any hesitation.

Zhang Qiling suddenly clenched her clothes tightly and looked back at him coldly and distantly, "I don't remember."

He couldn't bear to look into Yan Xiaonan's eyes. Those strange-colored pupils and odd eyeballs made him feel fear from the bottom of his heart. His chest also began to ache, as if pierced by something. There was a sense of familiarity.

It was as if he had experienced this kind of pain before.

Yan Xiaonan noticed something was wrong with him, so he finally gave up and turned his head. Outside the car window were running trees, which were very dense. As the car was driving at high speed, they swayed like evil spirits dancing. At the same time, his eyes were reflected on the glass, as if two demons were staring at each other.

When they reached the Qinling Mountains and Huaihe River, the fat man opened his mouth wide when he saw the dense bushes and extremely tall trees. "Isn't this a mutated primeval forest? Where is the ancestral home? Has it been swallowed up by them?"

His three consecutive questions made Yan Xiaonan, who was walking in front with Yan Bucun, turn around and glare at him. The old man's eyes, hidden in the folds of his clothes, exuded a strange color, which frightened the fat man.

When Wu Yu saw this, he pressed the fat man's shoulder soothingly.

Then, everyone heard Hei Xia Zi's teasing voice coming over.

"Fatty, you don't even count. More than a thousand years have passed since the Western Han Dynasty. It would be a miracle if this place could remain the same." Hei Xiazi's tone was frivolous, and he didn't seem surprised by the wonders of nature. He was very calm, and even tried to help Zhang Qiling share the burden while saying this.

It’s a pity that Zhang Qiling just obediently walked at the end of the team, and together with the young man, he formed the rear force of the team, while the rest of Huo Daof and Xie Yuchen were in the middle position.

Hei Xia Zi then put his hands back into his pockets, muttered something about not understanding romance, and then smiled again in a cool manner.

The air inside was more humid than expected, but Yan Bucun's map showed no signs of softening. It was still as straight as a bamboo slip. When it was spread out, it would poke Yan Xiaonan next to him.

"The paper you chose is too big." Yan Xiaonan, who was injured for the fifth time, felt like his kidney was about to be pierced. He felt like he was being pricked by a needle, and he also felt that Yan Bucun was taking revenge.

But when Yan Bucun turned his head and looked at him, he said with obvious innocence, "The paper is not big enough to draw it, and even you can't remember all the roads. I have even drawn the underground structure here, so it is naturally wider and longer. What's the problem with that?"

"You!" Yan Xiaonan held back his anger and finally snorted, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you insist on your own ideas on this trip, you may never come back."

"Are you talking about yourself?" Yan Bucun's originally kind face turned stern, and even the look he gave Yan Xiaonan was as if he was torturing him with his eyes. "After all, Yan Guangshan knows you're back, and he should be eager to see you."

After he finished speaking, he didn't know whether what Yan Bucun said was true or some other strange thing suddenly stuck to Yan Xiaonan's side. A damp and smelly smell of rotten earth filled the air, and suddenly, a sticky touch brushed across Yan Xiaonan's right cheek.

It was not until Xie Yuchen, who was in the middle and closest to Yan Xiaonan, raised his hand and shot him cleanly that everyone realized what had just happened.

Everyone gathered around. The two vines on the ground had lost their emerald green skin, revealing their scarlet interior. Their scales were as black as graphite, and somewhat shiny in the misty place. It was a snake, and just now, it was licking Yan Xiaonan's cheek with its tongue.

"The organisms have also mutated!" Wu Yu exclaimed.

Hei Xia Zi narrowed his eyes, and no one knew what he saw in his eyes behind his sunglasses.

But Zhang Qiling suddenly said at this moment, "More than that."

After saying that, the young man was the first to understand what Zhang Qiling meant, so he grabbed Wu Xie and the fat man's collars and retreated. After Hei Xia Zi cursed a word, he grabbed the lone Huo Daofu, and Xie Yuchen immediately grabbed Hei Xia Zi's sleeve to prevent him from falling behind.

Everyone began to gather together with their backs together. Yan Bucun immediately clamped Yan Xiaonan, and the huge force almost made his crutch fly out.

Suddenly, a low groan was heard from underground, and in the originally quiet forest on the ground, crows suddenly flew out, wailing continuously. The bushes shook, and the ground was broken by something. Countless vines, larger than before, moved like snakes, followed by the screaming sobs of a baby, which seemed to penetrate the eardrums, causing the ground under the feet to vibrate continuously.

Zhang Qiling and the young man hugged the fat man and Wu Yu respectively. The mountains in the distance seemed to be undergoing plate movement, with constant collisions, and birds, beasts and pedestrians fleeing quickly.

Huo Dafu had never seen such a scene before. He pushed his glasses that were about to fall off, and broke away from Hei Xiazi's hot embrace. He stood firmly on his own feet and looked up at the broken trees in panic, until his sight passed over the mountains without any obstruction...

A bronze building is hanging on the highest part of the mountain, and behind the building, slowly rising is a strange red bronze statue. It is completely covered by the shadow of the mountain, as if it was born to be unable to see a single ray of sunlight.

It had a human face that had never been seen before, and a snake body that was not fully moved and was currently coiled and entangled. Its vertical eyes were wide open, as if it was glaring at an outsider who had invaded its territory.

Everyone was looking at it, and in a period of low silence, the voices of Hei Xia Zi and Yan Xiao Nan merged together and uttered two words together:

"Candle Dragon."

A mountain god who lives in a dark, sunless country in the northwest of the sky.
