Tomb Raider Bronze Door Twins

Chapter 244 True Face

After packing up all the things, everyone set off again. Yan Bucun still led Xiaocun in the front, while the little brother and the biggest Guaiguai followed at the end.

Yan Bucun changed the rhythm of shaking the bell from the previous even shaking to a rapid sound, like the dull sound of horse hooves stepping on yellow sand, making people's hearts beat with fear.

Going deeper into the armory, there are stairs that seem to be infinitely long, which really reflects the thing's love of consuming physical energy. The further you go down, the larger the area illuminated by the hanging candles, but the narrower the space becomes. Even if you raise your head slightly, you will hit the ceiling, which greatly reduces everyone's visibility.

Zhang Qiling's eyes quickly swept across the walls, which were carved with incomprehensible patterns, like Sanskrit scriptures, but he couldn't understand what they were explaining.

The encyclopedia Wu Yu beside him was also observing, but even if he almost put his face against the wall, he couldn't see anything special.

"This text... Yan Bucun, have you seen it?" Wu Yu was not a person who would waste his brain cells. When it came to something he didn't understand, he would not analyze it rashly. If he gave a bad idea, it would be over, so he chose to ask the person in front.

Yan Bucun's sight seemed to have been fixed on the front, but when he heard Wu Yu's words, he tilted his head and observed the wall that Wu Yu was curious about, and replied, "It's not the Yan family's writing, but it does look a bit similar."

His fingertips caressed, brushing over the rugged lines and the occasional collapsed grooves.

"But if you force a translation, you can still pick out a few words from these half sentences." Yan Bucun said this, then bent down and pointed at one of the words with his hand, "It was originally called insect in our tribe, but next to this word, there is something written that I can't understand."

Hei Xia Zi bent deeper out of curiosity, but when he got closer, he almost knocked his sunglasses against the wall because of the small space. It was Xie Yuchen who grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him up, preventing Hei Xia Zi from having an intimate contact with the wall.

"Does this look like a fire?" After standing firm, Hei Xia Zi analyzed seriously, "Look, use your active brains to think about it, does this look like a person? The hair on the top of the head is like a fire, burning very vigorously."

The fat man twitched his lips twice and gave a thumbs up. "Actually, my mother told me since I was a child that although I am a little stupid, hard work can make up for my shortcomings. However, to this day I have not discovered my aesthetic talent. So, Mr. Hei, I really admire your imagination."

"It's just so-so, third in the world. You still have a lot to learn. Maybe you can learn it one day by just watching." Hei Xia Zi fanned his hands, looking shy because of the praise, but his bared big white teeth showed that he was extremely satisfied with himself.

Yan Bucun observed carefully and found that he really didn't have the aesthetic taste of Hei Xiazi, so he pointed to something similar to a radical next to a half-character and said, "What about this one? You come and explain it."

"Hmm..." Black Blind touched his chin, "Seven, look, these seven small balls are just like the seven planets, arranged in an elliptical trajectory. I didn't expect this place to know about the existence of the universe? The civilization is quite advanced. It can't be from the same series as the Sanxingdui culture that occasionally appeared in the home of Dumb Zhang."

Yan Bucun excitedly raised his head, but hit his head and immediately shrank his neck. "If what you said is true, the radical in front is fire, and the character I saw is insect, then the combination is candle, and the area you are talking about is seven, so the complete character I saw is dragon. I originally thought that the things on the wall could not be translated, but Hei Xiazi, maybe you have the ability to do it."

"Oh my god, Hei Ye's imagination is so rich, it might come in handy one day?!" Fatty patted Hei Xia Zi's shoulder with a smile, "Do a good job, Fatty is counting on you."

"No, I just said it casually, do you really believe it?" Hei Xia Zi had invisibly increased his workload and naturally felt tired, but this was obviously the origin of Zhulong.

Therefore, the translation work of Yan Bucun and Hei Xiazi gave everyone plenty of rest time. The group leaned on the steps and sat crookedly, but left a way for the two of them to observe the murals more carefully. Yan Bucun translated half a word, and Hei Xiazi completed the radicals.

During this period of time, no one else should have made any unnecessary movements, but Zhang Qiling tilted his head, moved his ears, and then when Yan Bucun and Hei Xiazi translated the contents of the entire wall, he quickly stood up and walked over.

Yan Bucun was copying the subversive story on the wall on paper. While he was still brainstorming, Zhang Qiling wiped the wound on his chest with his hand and smeared the blood in the corners.

In just a moment, the words began to jump and expand continuously, like worms awakened by the blood, moving in the obviously dry and hardened wall, making a thudding thudding sound.

"Back off." Zhang Qiling said this, and Yan Bucun and Hei Xiazi pulled him back while he was still standing there.

At the moment of evacuation, the others also stood up in surprise, because all the words on the wall fell off, and the corpse-eating larvae inside, after feeling the air, swarmed out like ants.

But because of Zhang Qiling's blood, they became afraid and did not dare to approach them, so they climbed around like this, which only made people feel their scalps tingling under the dense crowd.

Xie Yuchen pulled his clothes tightly together, not wanting the corpse-bugs to get into the gaps in his clothes, but this was obviously unnecessary.

Because the scattered corpse-eating bugs had begun to retreat consciously and rushed towards the dark, endless end, leaving only the worthless mottled wall for everyone.

Yan Bugun came to his senses. He was glad that he had written down the story on the wall while translating. Otherwise, when he was so absorbed in deciphering the puzzle and didn't notice that the corpse-eating larvae were about to hatch, he and Hei Xia Zi would probably be destroyed along with the story. So he looked at Zhang Qiling with gratitude.

The other party nodded without any extra reaction. Yan Bucun could only tell the story he and Hei Xiazi had sorted out.

"The story in Zhulong's Classic of Mountains and Seas is true, but the wall engraving tells a different story. Two meteorites fell in this world before. One of them brought longevity and happiness to the Zhang family, while the other, due to its enormous energy, corroded all living things around it."

He said too much in one breath, his Adam's apple rolled, and then he continued, "Having harmed life on Earth, this energy itself has lost its food source, so it has been waiting for its external forces to subside and for nature to revive."

"This guy actually has some intelligence?" Wu Yu noticed this keenly.

Xie Yuchen also added, "It may even have the idea of ​​easing the surrounding situation, which is the same as the environmental protection we insist on. It is a global public welfare activity for the safety of the ecological nature and the green common development of mankind."

"You are all right. It is recuperating only to gain more benefits. However, such repeated cultivation and absorption will eventually wipe out the area around it. So, when it realizes that it is getting weaker and weaker, and can't even summon wind and rain to make new branches of life grow on the ground..."

Yan Bucun said this, his eyes darkening, "Heaven didn't let it die, so it discovered something more valuable than natural forces."

"Humans." Zhang Qiling concluded as he looked at the wall that had been destroyed beyond recognition.

Yan Bucun nodded, acknowledging Zhang Qiling's point of view, "It turned its target of absorbing power to humans, but because of its huge body, it could not move, so it disintegrated, just like the karst landform. It no longer expanded its power, but waited for its body in the wind and rain, drifting to various places along the bright river and dark current."

"Until someone used its body to make the first bronze door." Huo Daof raised his eyes in shock. Along the way, he clearly understood what a huge worldview Wu Yu and others had brought him into.

The fat man patted Hodolf's shoulder soothingly. After all, he had opened his eyes a long time ago and had seen big monsters more than once. He had also played on the tentacle trampoline and experienced many illusions that shattered his worldview.

"Its consciousness began to cultivate inside the gate, and after it recovered some of its strength, it was able to place its consciousness outside the gate. In addition, it discovered its new abilities, which were specially created for humans in addition to controlling the forces of nature, such as calling the wind and rain.

That is... desire."

Hei Xia Zi's brows were furrowed and his arms were held tautly. After all, he had just participated in the translation process and naturally knew how huge, unacceptable and extremely fantastic what Yan Bucun was going to say was.

"Humans made a deal with it using their desires. It made up for its own inner losses by exchanging a part of humans. Eventually, it gradually took shape in the gate and transformed into its true form.

——Zhulong.

The time I was forced to lose my memory was because I saw its true form, but it was just a feather on its wing. It was probably afraid that I would take this information out, so it destroyed my memory of that period of time, or it sealed it deep in Xiaocun's soul. I only know this now."

"Then why does it record these?" Wu Yu tried to analyze it.

But the guy behind him answered, "Glory."

It regards these things piled up in its own life and the huge desire for its success as its inseparable part, even as a glory that it must repeatedly appreciate in obscurity forever.

"A guy who gave people hope and then spread despair!" Yan Xiaonan's eyes trembled. If this was a deal like this, if he knew it was such a situation and knew that everyone was a victim of his resurrection plan, he would never gamble with Yan Ran's life.

It doesn't care about anything else.

Those lives to it,

It's just a stepping stone.

This is the true face of fulfilling what humans call wishes.
