I Was Once a Legend

The giant bird failed in one blow, and quickly vacated, wanting to attack again.

Dong Linhai carried Wang Que on his back, Alan supported Lin Hangzhi, Dong Zheng embraced the exhausted Victor, and the Wonton Splitter team ran towards the nearest boulder and hid behind.

The wind was strong, and Dong Zheng put one hand on Cui Zuojing's head to protect him in his arms. The young man completely regarded this as a deep brotherhood between teammates, and didn't think much about how ambiguous this posture is now.

Wang Que was not damaged by the lesions on the internal organs, and the heart-stitching bear could not be treated. Victor barely stretched out his claws and put them on the back of her hand, using purification to relieve the pain of her shock injury.

Wang Que avoided it.

"I'm fine." She said softly, "Uncle, take a good rest."

Realizing that these hateful intruders could no longer be driven away, the giant bird croaked unwillingly, circled for a while, and finally flew towards the top of the mountain before the sun set and left.

Cui Zuojing walked out from behind the boulder. There were only some low shrubs and herbs growing on the bottom of the canyon, and there were large and small gravels all over. He hissed in pain.

Being able to persist in his hands for so long without being damaged until now, the quality of Tang Dao Zhanyue is self-evident.

When it comes to the next area, I have to find a better weapon manufacturer to repair it.Cui Zuojing thought silently.

The bottom of the sun had already touched the sea level, and it would be dark in 15 minutes at most. They hurriedly walked along the canyon.

A bird with a long neck flew overhead. Compared with the Anjou and the terrifying giant bird just now, its size is so friendly that it makes people want to cry.

Cui Zuojing: "Follow it?"

Dong Zheng nodded, and everyone trotted behind the bird. The bird seemed to be in a hurry and didn't notice that there were so many followers behind him.

As we move forward, the canyon gradually narrows, and the mountains on both sides are in the shape of an inverted trumpet, and there is only a line at the top, and it is difficult for the dim sky to shine in.

It was not easy to go, and everyone had to slow down.

At this time, Dong Zheng suddenly felt a trace of unusual data fluctuations, he stretched out his hand to stop Cui Zuojing, and said in a low voice: "Something is wrong."

Cui Zuojing didn't notice it at all. It stands to reason that with the instinct he has struggled with for many years, it is impossible for him to be unaware before the real danger comes.

But he still chose to believe in Dong Zheng, vigilantly holding the knife in front of him, preparing for the possible crisis.

1 minute passed and nothing happened.

Even Dong Zheng himself began to wonder if he was hallucinating due to excessive tension. He was about to speak, but the mountain wall not far ahead obliquely made a loud noise, and then the whole thing was smashed through a huge hole!

Dust was flying, and amidst the splash of gravel, everyone raised their arms to protect their heads and faces, and avoided them sideways.The bull with all four hooves in the air had no time to slow down the momentum, and bumped into the opposite mountain wall, causing the ground under their feet to tremble!

The bull shook its head wildly angrily, and its two horns were so sharp that they could poke a person into a sieve. Only then did Cui Zuojing realize that there was a person lying on the back of the bull!

The man with blond hair and gray eyes was holding the right horn of the bull with one hand, and the hair on the side of the bull's neck with the other hand, and he was lying on the back of the bull, like the bravest bullfighter.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of this man no matter what, the bull rolled onto the ground on one side, intending to crush Domingo to death!

Just before falling to the ground, the man let go with a frightening reaction speed. He pulled out a silver crossbow arrow from the quiver at his waist, stuck it in the bull's neck, and rolled to the ground.

The arrow only pierced a superficial head, and the slight pain did not attract the attention of the furious bull. The bull rolled vigorously, and the arrow was hit by the ground, and directly pierced the bull's neck!

Blood flowed out from the thin grooves on the body of the arrow.

Even though he suffered such a fatal injury, the bull still turned over and stood up, roaring and rushing towards Domingo with its horns facing him!

Domingo was half-kneeling on the ground, grass leaves and dust covered his hair and clothes. He took off the crossbow at his waist, quickly took out the arrow and spooled it, his movements were not chaotic at all, and he raised his hand to pull the trigger without even looking at the target.

The crossbow arrow accurately shot into the bull's left eye, right in the pupil.

The arrow pierced the bull's eyes, brain and brainstem, and took its life instantly. Its legs stiffened suddenly, but its huge body couldn't stop its forward rush, and it fell forward with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust .

Falling at Domingo's feet.

People who watched the whole process not far away: =口=!

On the boat, they also had some ordinary contact with Domingo because of the needs of filming. In their impression, although he was tall and tall, his behavior was very gentle, and he was not at all like a high-strength and violent battle. unit.

Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing were also very surprised. In their opinion, the power cabin only showed that Domingo's arrow skills were very good. At that time, he did not directly face the gluttonous beast, and killed it more like a surprise attack. .

Facts have proved that people cannot be judged by their appearance.

Domingo pulled the two arrows from the still twitching bull, took a cloth from his pocket, wiped off the brains and blood, and put them back in the quiver.

He raised his eyes, and finally looked at the people on the other side, his eyes stayed on Dong Zheng's face for a moment, and then fixed on Cui Zuojing.

So far, Cui Zuojing has a pretty good impression of this person, so he took the lead in stepping forward and said, "What a coincidence, I met you here."

Domingo patted the dirt off his body, nodded and said, "It's quite a coincidence."

Cui Zuojing walked up to the bull's body, saw that it was extremely majestic, with four different hooves, and two horns with strange lines circling, raised his eyebrows and said: "This bull——"

Domingo: "The bull of the sky, the legendary symbol of famine."

Alan turned to a certain page of the classics and said, "Ah, yes, it's called Gugalanna, and we need one of its hooves...By the way, brother, you don't know about the classics, right? We need to collect them according to the instructions above." Related items are fine, if you don’t mind, give us a cow’s foot?”

Allen thought he was a Spaniard who spoke English for communication, but Domingo said in Chinese: "Please go ahead."

Allen: "You can also speak Chinese, which is more standard than me. Why do I feel that the whole world can speak Chinese?"

Domingo smiled lightly. He watched Alan approaching beamingly, with quite heavy and complicated emotions surging in his gray eyes, which seemed to be... a kind of nostalgia like reminiscence?

Cui Zuojing narrowed his eyes slowly.

Allen ran up to the bull's still somewhat angry body, and waved to Cui Zuojing, "Cui Er, come here and cut its hoof."

Cui Zuojing cut off the bull's left front hoof with a knife, Alan put it away and made a mark on the classics.

Allen: "There are still six or seven things missing, um... It seems that there are so few that are not easy to handle."

At this time, Dong Zheng suddenly said: "Dequéciudaderes?" (Where is your home)

Domingo took one look at him and immediately replied: "Madrid." (Madrid)

"Noseoyenadadeloquedicesenchino." (You can't hear the accent at all in Chinese)

Domingo nodded slightly and said, "Thank you."

Others were confused by their conversation.

Dong Zheng suspected that Domingo was not Spanish at all, so he casually said something in Spanish to test him. Domingo answered very fluently, and he seemed to really know Spanish.

The rest of Dong Zheng didn't know much about it. He hadn't used the things he learned in college for many years, and he almost forgot, so he could only put his doubts aside for the time being.

"How did you get here?" Cui Zuojing asked. They landed from the southeast and crossed the entire island to the canyon to collect materials. What did Domingo do for it?

"Follow it." Domingo pointed to a long-necked bird flying across the sky, and his expression returned to his usual calm. "There is something wrong with this thing."

When everyone heard the words, they raised their heads and looked up. Cui Zuojing folded his hands on his chest, raised his eyebrows, and said, "So you followed the bird all the way here? The speed is fast enough."

Cui Zuojing still had some doubts about him between the lines, but Domingo didn't seem to mind at all, and continued: "These birds will return to their nests in the evening, this place is full of strange creatures, maybe you can find them What clues."

Dong Zheng: "Then follow and have a look."

The bird flew forward along the canyon. Its speed was not too fast, but it was still difficult for everyone walking on the ground to catch up.

The sun was about to set, and the last light of the sky shrouded everything in darkness. They chased after them, and after passing a distance of several thousand meters, they saw the dark tombs ahead.

Countless graves were scattered in a relatively open space in front of them. Crosses were inserted crookedly on the graves, and many of them were already incomplete.

The long-necked bird they were chasing landed on one of the crosses, folded its wings, and looked around.

Everyone suddenly noticed that the bird had a human face on its neck.

Dong Linhai couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "What the hell, Notes on Tomb Raiders? This is Yunding Tiangong we are going to enter?"

The human-faced bird raised its head towards the sky and let out two weeping howls, then slowly disappeared.

More and more birds are flying from the distant sky, and they are much faster, as if they are rushing home before dark.

The crowd hid behind a bulge on the mountain wall. Cui Zuojing looked at it for a while, then turned to Domingo and said, "You know what this thing is, right?"

Domingo: "They are called 'Ba', which first appeared in ancient Egyptian mythology. They refer to the power of spirituality, that is, the soul in each person's body. After a person dies and is mummified in a normal way, Ba will follow the sun and leave the cemetery early in the morning. , feed in the woods, and return to the flesh at sunset."

More and more birds returned to the cemetery, each alighting on some cross, weeping to the sun as it sank below sea level, and then descending to their sleeping flesh underground.

Allen flipped through the classics with a flashlight in one hand, and said, "This is not within the scope of collection."

"There are other things over there." Domingo pointed in the direction of the tombs, and he also leaned out half of his body. Because of his height, he was just lying on Cui Zuojing's body. On the side of the young man's neck, Cui Zuojing was unaware of this, and asked, "Where?"

Dong Zheng: “……………………………………”

Dong Zheng took a deep breath, and couldn't help feeling sour in his heart.

He wasn't willing to make a move yet, how could he get this passerby who jumped out of nowhere halfway?

Dong Zheng pulled Cui Zuojing back and said in a low voice, "Look, is there something bright?"

He was about to pull the boy directly into his arms, Cui Zuojing staggered, his ears were itchy from Dong Zheng's breath, he thought what was wrong, looked up at the man, and asked with his eyes: "?"

Dong Zheng just looked at him and didn't speak.

"?" Cui Zuojing only felt that the atmosphere was very strange. He rubbed his itchy ears and looked in the direction Dong Zheng pointed.

Dong Zheng glanced at Domingo, and the man with blond hair and gray eyes was also looking at him, with a flash of amusement in his eyes, as if he had seen through his shady thoughts.

Dong Zheng frowned, he was always calm, but for the first time wanted to explode on the spot at this time.

This is a feeling he has never experienced before.

The sky had completely darkened, so the gleaming green light became much more conspicuous, shining in the middle of the tombs.

Cui Zuojing came out from behind the bunker and quietly walked towards the tombs.

He planned it well, in case any creature was disturbed by his actions, he could immediately go back to the prisoner's space to hide, as long as Dong Zheng was safe, he would be safe.

As he approached the tombs step by step, all the human-faced birds had already returned to their dead bodies. In the darkness, the emerald light was more conspicuous.

Cui Zuojing approached and found that it was a cushion-cut emerald, and there seemed to be a liquid slowly surging inside, emitting a faint light.

The gem is inlaid in the center of the tallest cross in the tomb group. Unlike the surrounding wooden crosses, this cross is carved out of hard milky white rock, engraved with complicated patterns and incomprehensible characters, and you can tell it is a whole piece at a glance. The most important tomb in the cemetery.

Who would be buried here specifically?

The British expedition that got here hundreds of years ago?The classics did not specify how many people were in the expedition team, but if the exploration was funded by the state, the number should be indispensable.

If most of these people died on the island and were buried here by the rest of their companions, then the person in this tomb should be at the leader level.

No matter how he looked at it, Cui Zuojing felt that this gemstone seemed to be something very important. Seeing that there was no danger, the other onlookers followed him one after another.

Lin Hangzhi: "It looks like a key prop, do you want to take it down?"

Dong Linhai: "I think if you take it down directly, the brothers in the underground will probably think that we have robbed him, so climb out and let us return it."

Dong Zheng raised his hand and lightly touched the gemstone. The cool touch produced vaguely unusual fluctuations. This was a peaceful and friendly fluctuation, which was not blocked by the firewall and entered the core of his program unimpeded.

"This thing shouldn't be dangerous."

Cui Zuojing nodded, and he circled around the cross again, but found no other clues.

"Then... I just took it off?"

"Wait a minute." Allen took Wang Que and ran away together. In case of any accident, he could take Wang Que, who had not fully recovered from the concussion, to avoid it immediately, "Okay , do it."

Cui Zuojing: "You all should go a little further."

Seeing that everyone had left the tombs, Cui Zuojing took out a piece of paper from his pocket, gently inserted it into the gap between the gemstone and the cross, and pried it hard, and the emerald green gemstone fell into his palm.

He turned it over and saw that there were words written in Greek letters on the back of the gemstone, but unfortunately, he couldn't read it.

While he was observing the gemstone, the stone cross slowly cracked, and soon it broke into countless broken stones and collapsed.

Then the earth trembled, and a shrill scream came from the ground, and a human face appeared on the tomb where Cui Zuojing was, shouting angrily at the young man, with two faintly visible wings pawing at the ground, as if wanting to struggle Come out!

But the sun has long since sunk below sea level.

Without light, these birds probably wouldn't be able to get out.

Cui Zuojing thought, put the gem into his pocket, and walked towards the crowd. Suddenly, a hand grabbed his ankle.

The dry, hard touch seemed to break the boy's ankle!

Cui Zuojing lowered his head, saw the withered hand that belonged to the mummy and the arm that was twisting desperately trying to get deep into the ground, and said, "Hi~"

Then he raised his other foot and kicked it hard.

With a bang, the withered hand snapped in two, and the people in the ground would already be brittle after they died, so how could they stop Cui Zuojing's blow.

The body and soul could not stop the despicable outsiders, so the righteous masters woke up one after another, struggling under the ground to break free from the shackles. In an instant, the ground of the entire canyon shook violently, and countless withered hands stuck out of the tomb. Stretching towards the sky, as if trying to grab something.

A single mummy is weak, and Cui Zuojing can destroy it casually, but he can't stand the large number, and there are too many ants, and he can kill an elephant.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the young man ran away, and the rest of the people in the distance started to flee immediately. The vibration continued, even more violently, and rubble kept falling from the cliff above. They raised their hands to protect their heads, and bowed. He frantically tried to find a suitable shelter.

It seems that this gem is indeed an important prop.Cui Zuojing still had time to think about other things at this time: after the gem was dug out, the corpse came out, did they want to get the gem back, or was the gem originally used to suppress the corpse?

There have been corpses crawling out of the grave one after another. They are covered with mud, and their eyeballs have rotted away, leaving only two black eye sockets. They are dressed in the costumes of European medieval sailors. As Cui Zuojing guessed, they are all from the past. Crew members of the British Expedition.

With a loud bang, a huge rock was shaken and fell halfway down the canyon, hitting the road ahead of everyone's escape.

"Go this way!" Domingo immediately turned around and ran to the right. Everyone had no time to think about it and could only believe him and followed the man.

The light of the flashlight in Dong Zheng's hand kept shaking with the pace of running, illuminating the mountain wall ahead, and Allen couldn't help howling: "There is no way at all, brother, are you sure you want to go here?!"

"Trust me." Domingo ran to the mountain wall and stopped, took a deep breath, turned sideways and slammed his shoulder against the stone wall suddenly.

The stone walls were lined together, motionless.

Seeing this, Dong Linhai imitated his example and bumped it with his shoulder. He bumped it, heard the muffled sound of the impact cavity, and was overjoyed: "There is a passage inside!"

"Get out of the way!" Alan retreated more than 50 meters away, Cui Zuojing chased him from behind and passed him, and gave him a suspicious look.

Allen bowed slightly, kicked his feet on the ground to activate his ability, and his whole body rushed towards the stone wall like an arrow in an instant. He turned his shoulder and slammed into it amidst the exclamation of everyone!

slam-la-

The stone wall broke a big hole under this high-speed collision, and there was indeed a hole behind it, and what blocked them was only a two-centimeter thick layer.Domingo rushed in first, Allen got up from the rubble all over the ground in a daze, Lin Hangzhi pulled him, and everyone ran deeper into the dark cave together.

The structure of the cave is very complicated, and there are two or three forks between each intersection, leading to the unknown depths. They followed Domingo all the way and ran wildly, and the noise made by the mummies was quickly thrown away.

Guessing that it was safe for the time being, everyone gradually stopped and looked around.

This cave seems to be formed naturally. There are many associated crystal minerals embedded on the cave wall, which emit faint blue fluorescence, which is barely enough to illuminate. Water continuously drips from the stalactites on the top of the cave, and falls on the stalagmites directly below, making a clattering sound. There was a soft clatter.

The cave was cold and damp, and Lin Hangzhi was sweating all over from running, and now he stopped, feeling a little cold.

Finally having time to breathe, Dong Zheng looked at Domingo who was looking at the cave wall, frowned and asked, "You look very familiar to me."

As soon as he said that, the rest of the people also noticed the strangeness: "Yes, how did you know that there is a cave right behind the stone wall?"

Domingo turned around and calmly said to Dong Zheng: "It's not convenient for me to say this, no one stipulates that I must tell you everything."

The atmosphere suddenly became stiff.

Dong Linhai stood up vigilantly, ready to strike before Domingo made any move.

"Would you like to say that it's your own business? Similarly, we just ask, you don't have to make everyone unhappy like this, right?" Cui Zuojing saw that the situation was not good, so he persuaded him a little. It was never his job to be a peacemaker, but for some reason, Domingo always gave him a very dangerous but familiar feeling.

This man can't be messed with.

Domingo still gave Cui Zuojing a lot of face. Hearing this, he continued to look at the stone wall, as if he wanted to stare at it for something.Dong Linhai pouted, and whispered to Dong Zheng: "Brother, do you really want to continue walking with him? I always feel that he will cheat us."

"Let's just wait and see. There are so many of us, so it shouldn't be a big problem to be careful."

From the current point of view, Domingo has provided them with much more help than he has hidden dangers. There are too many strange creatures on this island. Kedo couldn't recognize one or two of them, but this Domingo could speak clearly every time.

And it doesn't look like he knew the contents of the box in advance and prepared it specially, that is to say, these are cold and biased, and a lot of knowledge that can only be found in lonely books has always existed in his mind.

This person is dangerous.
