Tomb Raider【Filling My Heart with Unresolved Feelings】

The camera turns back to Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi, who are trapped in the dark underground. The air is filled with the smell of staleness and decay, and thick oil keeps dripping from the top of their heads. The dripping sound seems particularly strange in this silent space.

The two of them groped forward cautiously, and every step they took seemed to be testing the unknown abyss. Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound broke the silence, and countless hidden weapons shot towards them from all directions like a rainstorm.

Hei Xiazi reacted very quickly, rolling sideways and nimbly dodged several oncoming arrows. Xie Yuchen swung the dragon-patterned stick in his hand with great force, knocking down the hidden weapons shot at him.

"Xiaohua, you'd better be careful. Don't die before you see the baby." Hei Xia Zi teased with a smile, and there was clearly a hint of gloating in his tone.

Xie Yuchen snorted coldly: "Shut your stinky mouth and concentrate on dealing with these traps."

They continued to move forward with difficulty, and the ground beneath their feet suddenly sank, and the surrounding walls instantly shot out rows of sharp darts. Xie Yuchen was agile, like a nimble flying swallow, dodging left and right, and dancing the dragon-patterned stick in his hand tightly.

The black bear was not to be outdone, and with its excellent skills and quick reactions, it was able to move freely in this dangerous environment.

Finally, they arrived outside a palace. However, the palace was covered with mirrors, and the strong light reflection made it difficult to open one's eyes. Xie Yuchen frowned, and without hesitation, he took out a handkerchief from his bosom and quickly tied it around his eyes.

Seeing this, Hei Xia Zi couldn't help but say, "Hey, Xiao Hua, your look is quite unique."

Xie Yuchen replied unhappily: "Stop talking nonsense, if you don't want to die, shut up."

After that, Xie Yuchen calmed down and used his keen hearing to judge the direction of the hidden weapon. With a "whoosh" sound, a hidden weapon rushed towards his face. Xie Yuchen listened carefully and swung the dragon-patterned stick in his hand instantly, accurately knocking the hidden weapon away.

Black Blind watched from the side and exclaimed in amazement: "Good job, Xiaohua, you are quite capable. But compared to me, you are still a little behind."

Xie Yuchen ignored his teasing and concentrated on dealing with the continuous attacks of hidden weapons. With the tacit cooperation of the two, they finally passed this level without any danger.

"Let's go and see what secrets are hidden in this palace." Xie Yuchen said, and walked into the palace first. Hei Xiazi shrugged and muttered, "Humph, don't act cool in front of me." Then he followed.

There were rows of square stones in the palace, with all kinds of mysterious patterns carved on them. There was also a recessed wall in front, and the two guessed that they had to piece these stones together on the wall before they could get out, but only one of them could do it, and the other was responsible for blocking the hidden weapons.

Xie Yuchen folded his hands in front of his chest, looked at Hei Xia Zi, and said without question: "Hei Xia Zi, you go block the hidden weapon, and I will do the splicing."

Hei Xia Zi waved his hands and muttered reluctantly, "Why me? I'm exhausted from the journey, it's your turn to block the hidden weapons. Besides, my brain works better than yours, so I'm more suitable for things like splicing."

Xie Yuchen glared at him and said bluntly: "Can your brain handle such a brain-intensive job? It would be best for you to be a hidden weapon. Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"

Hei Xiazi pouted and wanted to argue: "Xiao Hua, you are too bullying. Why can't I do it?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Xie Yuchen interrupted him, "If you keep dawdling, we'll both be trapped here to death."

Hei Xia Zi had no choice but to agree reluctantly: "Okay, it's my bad luck."

The two men started at the same time. As soon as Xie Yuchen picked up the first stone, the mechanism was activated immediately, and countless hidden weapons flew out from all corners. Hei Xiazi instantly entered the combat state. His posture was as flexible as a ghost, his eyes were sharp, and the weapon in his hand seemed to have life. He swung it up and down and left and right quickly. Every swing accurately shot down the hidden weapon, and the hidden weapon hit the weapon with a crisp sound. His movements were smooth and there was no panic at all, showing his superb skills and extraordinary reaction speed.

"Xiaohua, hurry up!" Hei Xia Zi urged hurriedly while blocking the hidden weapons.

Xie Yuchen frowned and retorted, "Stop yelling, you're disrupting my train of thought! Can't you be quiet and let me think about how to spell it?"

Hei Xia Zi complained bitterly: "Oh, I can't hold it back any longer! If you don't hurry up, we'll both die here."

Xie Yuchen was concentrating on piecing together the stones, his hands moving faster and faster. With the two of them working together in a tense and tacit way, Xie Yuchen finally finished piecing together the last piece of stone, and the mechanism stopped instantly.

Hei Xia Zi was so tired that he collapsed on the ground, panting heavily: "Xiao Hua, you've exhausted me so much!"

Xie Yuchen didn't bother to pay attention to him. He stared at the spliced ​​pattern and took out paper and pen to study and draw.

Hei Xiazi rested for a while, then came over to look at the pattern on the paper, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "A human-faced bird?"

Xie Yuchen asked curiously, "Why is there a human-faced bird in Tamutuo?"

Hei Xia Zi cleared his throat and began to show off his knowledge: "This blue bird is the traditional totem of the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West, and this human-faced bird is an upgraded version of it. But this thing can appear here, maybe this is the core area of ​​the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West."

Xie Yuchen rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are the only one who knows more."

After that, the two of them followed the instructions of the pattern and came to a place and started digging. After digging for a while, Xie Yuchen's mysophobia got the better of him, so he patted the dust off his hands and said to Hei Xiazi, "You do the digging, I can't stand this dirt."

Hei Xiazi's eyes widened: "Why me again?"

Xie Yuchen slowly took out a small stack of red bills from his pocket and waved it in front of Hei Xia Zi.

Hei Xiazi's eyes lit up instantly, and his attitude changed 180 degrees. He smiled and said in a flattering manner, "Hey, Boss Jie, you take a rest on the side. I'll do this little job and I guarantee it will be done right away!"

Xie Yuchen rolled his eyes at him and sat aside.

Hei Xiazi dug vigorously, muttering to himself: "This little bit of soil is nothing. I will do it to support his boss and get some money!"

In a short while, Hei Xia Zi had dug a big hole and was sweating profusely from exhaustion.

"Boss Xie, can you please take a look?" Hei Xia Zi asked in a flattering manner.

Xie Yuchen stood up, took a look, and nodded slightly: "Not bad, continue."

Hei Xia Zi wiped the sweat off his forehead and continued to work hard.

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the surroundings. The two looked at each other, and an ominous premonition arose in their hearts.

Hei Xia Zi said, "Xiao Hua, this isn't some fatal device, is it?"

Xie Yuchen frowned: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful in your response."

The two of them fell into a tense atmosphere again, not knowing what kind of danger would be waiting for them next.
