[Tomb Notes bg] Lost Notes
Chapter 12 Attacked
The fat man leaned over to Wu Xie, and said, "Looking at it now, the meaning of 'it' may be different from the literal meaning. Maybe it's not a living thing, but something else entirely."
Fatty's sudden whim triggered a discussion among the four of them. Although there were several hypotheses, they were still inconclusive. In addition, it was already night, and they needed to make the best preparations for tonight.
After everything was ready, Wu Xie fell asleep in the tent, while Zhang Qiling, Nan Xing and Fatty stayed in different positions.
The few bonfires lit in the camp were their only source of light.But because of the fog that rises at night, the surrounding visibility is still very low.
The three of them were very silent, vigilantly watching the disturbances around them.
Tamutuo was originally a typical desert climate, with a large temperature difference between day and night, and the temperature at night can reach more than ten degrees below zero.But the Snake Swamp where they are now has a typical tropical rainforest climate, hot and humid no matter the day or night.
This is also the place where Nanxing has always felt that this snake marsh deviates from common sense of geography. The tropical rainforest is mainly affected by solar radiation, ocean currents and monsoons. This place does not have any conditions. What kind of force has created such an environment?
However, judging from previous experiences, each of these places involved in the Warring States Silk Book is very strange, and each deviates from the laws of the normal physical world.
The hot air from the ground, coupled with the thick layer of heat-insulating silt covering his body, made Nan Xing feel like a beggar chicken being roasted by the sticky feeling.
Wait, why do you compare yourself to a beggar chicken? If you want to use food as a metaphor, then she should be the world's top delicacies such as truffles, foie gras, and caviar.
When Nan Xing was playing her own inner drama in her head, she suddenly found that the surroundings were completely dark, but she could still hear the sound of burning branches when she listened carefully.
Nan Xing groped around following the sound. She could feel the hot wind from the bonfire and smell the woody fragrance of burning branches, but she couldn't see any light. Could it be that she was blind?Blind so casually and without warning?
"Brother, fat man, I think I'm blind." After Nan Xing confirmed this fact, he decided to notify his teammates as soon as possible and confirm their positions.
"I can't see now either!" came the voice of Fatty, who was on the other side of the camp.
If she is the only one who is blind, she can still find the reason from herself, but now she and the fat man are blind at the same time, and the probability that both of them have problems at the same time can buy lottery tickets.
It can only be that something happened around when they didn't pay attention just now.Nan Xing remembered the mist rising after dark, could it be that this mist is really poisonous?
Nan Xing just wanted to ask the fat little brother if he was blind because he was with him, when he heard a rustling sound from the ground. Hearing this sound, it should be a cockscomb snake.
She can't make a sound now, and if she makes a sound, she will definitely reveal her position. If she is bitten, even the god Da Luo will not be able to save her.
The most important thing right now is to restore vision.If the fumes are poisonous, your best bet is to find a gas mask.
Nan Xing had just walked a few steps when someone pulled his wrist. Nan Xing's center of gravity was unstable, and he hit the man's broad and strong chest backwards.
"Brother?" With this strength, it was Zhang Qiling without even thinking about it.
"This way." Zhang Qiling said next to Nan Xing's ear in a voice so soft that only she could hear, and then walked in another direction, Nan Xing hurriedly followed.
Sure enough, the gas masks were placed in the tent that Zhang Qiling took her to.
Nan Xing had just found the gas mask, and before he had time to put it on, he heard the sound of the backpack falling from the side.
Zhang Qiling was always cautious, he definitely didn't accidentally drop this backpack, something must have happened.
Nan Xing Xunsheng came to Zhang Qiling's side, groped and grabbed his arm with his left hand, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
"I was bitten." Zhang Qiling's voice was very soft, but extremely calm, as if he was stating something that had nothing to do with him.
When Nan Xing heard it, his brain exploded instantly. They had all witnessed the consequences of being bitten by a cockscomb snake, and they were basically killed immediately.
But Zhang Qiling can still talk to her normally, maybe the dose of venom entering the body is not serious enough to be fatal.
"Where is the bite?" Nan Xing quickly tore off a strip of cloth from his clothes with his right hand.
Zhang Qiling didn't answer, just took Nan Xing's left hand that was on his elbow, and placed it near his wrist.Nan Xing immediately understood what he meant, wrapped the cloth strip around his forearm with his right hand, and bandaged the forearm together with him to prevent the poison from spreading along the blood.Then she drew out the dagger, squatted down and made a cross-shaped incision on Zhang Qiling's wrist, and sucked out the venom for him without hesitation.
Then, Nan Xing felt that something was pressed to her face, and when she touched it, it was a gas mask.It turned out that even though he was bitten by a snake just now, Zhang Qiling still got the gas mask.
She took advantage of the opportunity to put on the mask, and suddenly her shoulders felt a pain, she was lifted up, and then surrounded by a circle, his arm was so strong that she couldn't move at all.
There was the sound of his extremely weak breathing next to his ears, and his ears felt a little hot from feeling his breathing.
Because of wearing a gas mask, Nan Xing barely recovered some eyesight, she turned her head slightly, and saw Zhang Qiling throw aside the cockscomb snake in his hand that he almost crushed its head off just now.
It turned out that the cockscomb snake flew over and pounced on her neck just now because it was attracted by the blood stained on her body when she took the venom just now.Fortunately, the little brother heard the slight movement in the air in time, pulled her up, and at the same time pinched the cockscomb snake's head in the air, saving her from death.
Presumably, after he was bitten by the snake just now, he immediately pinched the snake's head and did not bite it completely.If it were someone else, he would definitely die.
Zhang Qiling covered his wrist to prevent the blood from the wound from attracting more snakes.
"Go back to the tent first." As soon as Zhang Qiling's voice fell beside her ear, Nan Xing felt her shoulders sink, and Zhang Qiling's entire weight fell on her body.
"Brother?!" Nan Xing barely stood still, holding Zhang Qiling's waist with his left hand, subconsciously feeling his pulse with his right hand.
The pulse is normal, it should be a temporary coma.
The fat man got out of the tent where Wu Xie was, and it seemed that he just took a gas mask.Immediately after he came out, he rushed towards Zhang Qiling and Nan Xing, and each of them helped Zhang Qiling to the tent where Wu Xie was.
Countless cockscombed snakes swarmed out from the gaps, and gradually coiled together, forming a huge "snake tide", like a group of molluscs, marching rhythmically and moving extremely fast.
The cockscomb snakes seemed to know they were in the camp, but with all the tents and mud smeared on them, the cockscomb snakes couldn't figure out where they were.
But the IQ of cockscombed snakes can no longer be measured by the standards of snakes.
This group of snakes has already begun to search quickly, smashing any obstacles they encounter, and one by one the tents are crushed.
The three of Nan Xing and the others went back to the tent where Wu Xie was, and almost fell into it.
In order to avoid the heat brought by the miner's lamp from attracting the cockscomb snake's attention, Nan Xing and Fatty signaled Wu Xie to turn off the miner's lamp quickly.
The four of them lay prone in the tent, trying to restrain their breathing, and vigilantly paying attention to the noise outside the tent.
There were a few loud noises outside, and the sound of the tent collapsing again, followed by the same movement after a few minutes, which lasted for half an hour.
The four lay there, stopping every time their hearts were hit. The torment was like being bombed, and they didn't know when the bomb would fall on their heads.
After being quiet for a very long time, the outside finally calmed down.
When they walked out of the tent, it was already dawn, and the entire camp outside had collapsed, as if it had just experienced a bombing.
They checked Zhang Qiling's injuries. Although the poisonous blood had been sucked out immediately, it was inevitable that some poison had penetrated.
Wu Xie found out the antivenoms in the camp. There were many types of snake snakes, king cobras, etc., but obviously none of them were aimed at cockscomb snakes.
Nan Xing took out a serum from his backpack and handed it to Wu Xie: "Use this, multivalent serum is more effective than monovalent serum in this case."
After injecting Zhang Qiling with the polyvalent serum, Wu Xie checked again to confirm that he was out of danger before he felt relieved.
Then Wu Xie asked the fat man what happened last night, and the fat man told him everything about last night.
Nan Xing sat next to Zhang Qiling all the time, without saying a word, she untied the cloth strips tied around Zhang Qiling's arms every once in a while for a minute and then tied them up again to avoid tissue necrosis caused by poor blood circulation.
The fat man said that although the mud snakes couldn't see them, they knew their existence, so the carpet bombing happened last night, and those snakes would probably come again tonight.
Can't stay here tonight, have to move.
Wu Xie and Fatty packed up the supplies that could be taken away in the camp, while Nan Xing took care of Zhang Qiling and Pan Zi.
Pan Zi has been unconscious all the time, Zhang Qiling is conscious but weak, but fortunately, the blue color on his hand has receded.
They moved to the temple according to Zhang Qiling's suggestion. After tidying up, it was dusk again, and Zhang Qiling was basically able to walk around.
The fat man made a pot of mish-mash with the cans he had collected. The appearance was a little strange, but the taste was unexpectedly good.
"Well, it's not bad, you should learn a little bit, people live seventy years old, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, only eating is the life's enjoyment." The fat man said, "Especially Nan Xing, you have to practice your culinary skills well, When you enter this line of work, you must have time to eat and sleep in the dew.”
After the fat man finished speaking, he glanced at Wu Xie, and changed the subject: "Speaking of this, Nan Xing, we treat you as a brother now, so I still want to explain some problems to you, and it's okay to keep guessing in your heart Son."
"What do you want to ask me? If I can answer, I won't hide it." Nan Xing put down his chopsticks and looked at them.
The fat man didn't speak, but Wu Xie asked first: "Why did you come here? Also, did you really just pass by and meet us in Xisha before?"
Not only Fatty had doubts in his heart, Wu Xie was also confused.
He always felt that he had seen a lot of information about the mysteries he encountered, but he just couldn't sort out the truth from it. Maybe what Nan Xing knew could help him connect these information to find the answer.
Nan Xing stirred the soup pot and added another bowl for everyone.
When she arrived at Zhang Qiling, she glanced at him through her movements.
He sat there without any fluctuations in his expression, as if he was not listening to their conversation.
Nan Xing finally poured some into his own bowl, looked at the boiling soup pot and said, "My mother disappeared last year, and she left me a diary, which recorded her going to the tomb under the sea, so I went to the tomb under the sea , and then met you at sea.
Later, I found Yunding Tiangong according to the clues of the underwater tomb, and finally found Tamutuo by combining all the existing clues. "
Wu Xie knows what kind of micro-expressions people will have when they are lying. Basically, no one will not be spotted by him when they are lying. This may be the experience of being deceived too many times.
He carefully paid attention to every subtle change in Nan Xing's expression when she answered, and judged that she was telling the truth.
He suddenly felt that he and Nan Xing had some sympathy for each other. He had been looking for the whereabouts of his third uncle, while Nan Xing had been looking for the whereabouts of his mother.She was even worse than herself. She traveled to so many places and found no trace of her mother at all.
Seeing Nan Xing's dazed and lost expression when he talked about his mother, Wu Xie and Fatty patted him on the shoulder to show comfort, and did not continue the topic.
Fatty's sudden whim triggered a discussion among the four of them. Although there were several hypotheses, they were still inconclusive. In addition, it was already night, and they needed to make the best preparations for tonight.
After everything was ready, Wu Xie fell asleep in the tent, while Zhang Qiling, Nan Xing and Fatty stayed in different positions.
