Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

The large army continued to march, and the guy in charge of the rear of the Shang family found a retail investor squatting in a corner, and kicked him angrily.

"Hey, let's go, hey, I said, how can you still sleep in this short time? It's the first time I went to the ground or something, dare we come out to play this time?!"

The man let out two cries of pain in his sleep, stared for a long time before standing up, drooping his eyelids and said: "I don't know... yawn... Why did I fall asleep after sitting there just now, hey, the rest of the people are all Are you done checking?"

"It's over, it's over, it's all gone, it's just you."

"Hey, here we come."

"Hey, you look familiar to me, from the Chen family?"

"Hey, you have a really good memory. We met at the big teahouse at the beginning of the year. My name is Chen Qiu, and Xiao Wuye came here to help." The man laughed and picked up the luggage bag on the ground, somehow " Tsk, and calmly shifted the backpack to the left shoulder.

Guy Shang Ji raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong with your right arm, is it injured?"

"No, look, there is a bloodstain on the old man. When I ran away just now, I didn't pay attention to the stones on both sides. It's so fucking unlucky to draw it like this." Chen Qiu generously held up his injured arm, and the guy didn't care. With a few words of emotional comfort, the two quickly returned to the main army.

The tomb passage got deeper and deeper, and the temperature dropped lower and lower. Many people took out their winter clothes and put them on to keep warm.

Chen Qiu also wanted to put on a suit, but he only had one arm, so it would be laborious to wear it.When he was worrying, a member of the Shang family next to him helped him carry it. Chen Qiu looked up for a moment, then smiled.

"Thanks, buddy."

"No thanks, this kind of thing can't be done by one person, so you need someone to accompany you. What happened to your arm, does it matter?"

"If it's misplaced, it just hurts, and the rest is fine."

Hearing the sound, the man frowned, with a flash of distress in his eyes, he quickly patted Chen Qiu and said, "It's dangerous ahead, just follow me, let me show my skills for the next job."

Chen Qiu smiled back: "Let's go, let's go together."

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Chen Qiu."

"Chen Qiu... hahaha good name, then I'll call you Master Shang, well, actually Master Shang is also pretty good, let him do whatever he wants."

Half an hour later, the front of the tomb passage suddenly opened up, and a large flat land appeared.Shang Yun yelled to stop everyone, and several experts came to the front to investigate the situation.

"Uncle Yun, it's a dry land swamp."

"How can there be a swamp in the mountain, such a large area, all of them?"

The person who answered scratched his head in embarrassment: "It's a swamp, but it's all dry and cracked, one by one, I don't know if we can pass now."

The flashlight shone through, revealing a large piece of rough muddy land in front of it, which didn't look like a swamp at all.When it shines into the depths, a few beams of blurred light are suddenly reflected back.

"What the hell?" People raised their flashlights one after another, and saw some palm-sized red stones scattered in the middle of the dry and cracked land, shining brightly under the light.

There was a thrill in the minds of the retail investors, and the first reaction was gems, there are gems on the ground!

Shang Yunkuang stepped forward: "Everyone stop! There is a swamp, no one is allowed to pass!"

The footsteps of a group of people stopped abruptly, and the leading retail investors were crying and full of resentment: "Uncle Yun, although we are looking for Changsheng this time, you still have to ask the guys to fire, right? It's been a day Oh, not to mention how many people have been lost, and now I haven’t even seen a Mao Yeer, and I finally saw the baby and didn’t get close, how can there be such a reason in the world!”

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of echoes immediately.

Shang Yunkuang raised his chin: "Fateless stuff, you can take it yourself if you want, don't cause other people in vain. Our goal this time is Changsheng, only Changsheng, don't see any small shrimps and crabs. Just pounce on it without a fart, and say that you are a person with a nose and a face in the road, and you are not afraid of being laughed at!"

Retail investors were not convinced: "Longevity will be collected, and small shrimps and crabs must not be let go! Brothers are all people who rely on luck to make a living, and the next trip will not be easy, unlike your Shang family who have a big business, and lie down for a few days. Life is not a problem."

"Then let's part ways. The lives of our Shang family are precious, so we will not accompany you."

The retail investor spat on the ground bitterly.

Shang Yunkuang didn't take it seriously, and led the Shang family around the edge, away from the cracked and dry swamps in the center.As soon as they passed by, the retail investors couldn't wait to pounce on them.It turned out that those stones were not gemstones at all when they got closer. The stone body was covered with red chaotic lines and impurities, and the transparency was very low, a bit like raw rock jade that had not been artificially processed.

"Damn it's a broken stone, it's worthless at all, it makes Lao Tzu excited."

"Hey, this rock is quite heavy, why can't you pick it up? Hey Corvo, there seems to be something under this rock!"

The retail investors who were cursing were suddenly shaken, and several people worked hard together, but they couldn't lift these red stones that were only the size of a palm. "Wait, wait, there seems to be something attached to it, don't move it, take a shovel and dig down!"

Each of these retail investors was an expert from Yeluzi, each of them was more agile than the other, and soon dug a big hole one meter deep along the red stone.It turned out that there was an iron object with the thickness of a wrist attached to Hongshishi's buttocks. There was an obvious blade on one side of the iron object. Further down, there was a tripod of broken and decayed iron helmets.

Ironware, weapons, helmets... Old Ke's heart skipped a beat. Could this thing be a sacrificial figurine?

Ten minutes later, a humanoid figurine holding an iron spear, wearing an iron helmet, and wrapped in armor appeared in front of everyone.And the unmovable red stone was inlaid on the top of the spear, which turned out to be a decoration on the weapon.

Lao Ke swallowed and spit, twisted his fingers, and found that the body of the figurine was made of clay, and it was so dry that a large piece would peel off when touched.

Everyone slowly breathed a sigh of relief, gearing up and running around the rare armored figurine.This thing is not shining gold and silver jewelry, and it is so big, I really don't know where to start.

"This is... Mongolian warrior figurines, right? Hehehe, it's so well preserved. This stuff is much more valuable than that Raoshizi diamond."

"It's worth the money, but you can carry it out. I guess it takes three or four people to carry such a big guy."

"Carry out one, and my brothers will post it all. It's not easy to see this thing."

Corvo didn't say a word, just smoking a cigarette on the side, he always felt that something was wrong.Sacrificial figurines, it is said that the common furnishings in tombs are good, but they are usually placed near the burial pit or coffin chamber, why would they sink in a dry swamp without thinking.

on purpose?Throwing the fully armed sacrificial figurines into the swamp?

After a while, another retail investor yelled next to him: "Hey! There's another one in the underground!" Corvo turned his head to take a look, and indeed, two meters away from another dry swamp, an identical one was dug out. A fully armed sacrificial figurine, this figurine holds a long-handled knife, and the tip of the knife is also inlaid with a red stone.

This discovery made everyone quickly realize that there is a sacrificial figurine buried under about every swamp, and the red stones on the ground are the best signs.

The retail investors didn't think so much, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey they were going to pull out the sacrificial figurines, but someone touched it and the unreliable figurine's head snapped off and rolled down, Just rolled to Corvo's feet.

Corvo scolded them a few words, picked up the head of the figurine wearing a helmet, and swept it away inadvertently.In the end, it didn't matter after such a sweep, Corvo's legs went limp and he lay on the ground, and the figurine's head came out of his hands again, rolling around on the swamp.

At the junction of the figurine's head and neck, a white bone was exposed—the bone stuck in the helmet, that is, the human skull.

"Damn..." Old Ke bounced up and stared at the figurine's head on the ground. "This is a living figurine, a figurine made by a living person!"

The retail investors who were pulling out the "radish figurines" were startled, and reacted quickly to scrape the figurines with a shovel. After the dried mud peeled off, a white human skeleton was exposed.

It turned out that they were all wrong. These were not clay figurines at all, but living people trapped in the swamp—Mongol warriors in armor and full armor, solidified into the figurines in front of them after being swallowed by the swamp.

On the other side of the clearing, the Shang family and the Chen family crossed the dry swamp early and reached the end of the tomb passage.It's just that at the end of the tomb passage, there is a door full of totems.

The members of the Shang family looked back frequently and walked away, but they kept paying attention to the actions of retail investors digging figurines.

"Uncle Yun, those guys seem to have dug up some incredible guys in the swamp."

"Regardless of them, our goal is only longevity. Beard, is the door ready?"

The bearded man wiped the sweat from his brow, and stepped back from the door in embarrassment: "No, Uncle Yun, there are five layers of chain locks on this door. Judging by the weight, there may be a close-range mechanism. This mechanism It's likely to be range-bound, and I need someone to give me a hand while everyone else stands back."

No one wanted to steal the limelight in this dangerous place, so they all silently retreated to the side.Shang Yunkuang was about to ask someone to help, when a young guy named Chen volunteered to stand up.

"Let me come. I saw this mechanism in a fight in Shanxi, and it should be able to help."

Shang Yunkuang heard the sound and looked over, the Chen family guy's face was pale, he didn't know if he was injured somewhere, he was not in good spirits, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright.

"My name is Chen Qiu. I'm a small character who hasn't been to the land twice. It's normal that Uncle Yun doesn't know me."

Shang Yunkuang nodded. Before he came, he had only a superficial impression of this young man. He seemed to be aloof and not talkative, but people who are not talkative these days often have real skills.

Chen Qiu took the initiative to stand to the right, and clasped the door with his left hand. "There is a hidden slot here, just hook it like this."

Huzi hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, when I call one, two, three, you can turn 90 degrees clockwise with me, pay attention to your right, there is a hole there, most likely it is a mechanism that activates immediately, you can hide in time Just do it."

"Okay." Chen Qiu said with a smile.

"Let's go, one, two, three—!"

The chain locks on both sides of the gate were activated at the same time, and in an instant, the buzzing of the machine shuttle came from the hole on Chen Qiu's right.

"Go back!"

However, Chen Qiu seemed to sway slowly, and then squatted down quickly - squatting down on the spot.At the same time, five arrow shuttles flew out of the hole, brushing against Chen Qiu's hair and crossing dangerously.Just as everyone wanted to relax, unexpectedly, behind Chen Qiu, just two steps behind him, suddenly collapsed!A mechanism hole full of sharp knives and sharp weapons was revealed.

The lucky Chen Qiu squatted down, so he not only escaped the flying shuttle above his head, but also escaped the trap that collapsed behind him.Huzi's heart was in his throat, and he was sweating from fear. He just didn't recognize the collapse mechanism. If Chen Qiu really dodged as he said, he would be a dead man in the hole by now.

"Oh, good luck and good fortune." Chen Qiu clasped the door with one hand, half-squatting and half-hanging on the spot, his appearance was pitiful and comical at the same time.

Shang Yunkuang hurriedly ordered someone to rescue Chen Qiu, and then reprimanded Huzi for not being able to accurately judge the mechanism, only then did he have the mood to re-observe the gate.

Chen Qiu returned to the team bitterly, trying to reduce his sense of presence, but he still couldn't avoid receiving scattered admiring glances, except when he brushed against the black hood, he heard an unpleasant but unexpected sentence Among the words.

"It's very powerful. It would be a pity if I really killed you before."

"Ha, thanks for the prize."

Chen Qiu returned to Master Shang, who turned sideways and said, "Did that black hood recognize you? He won't ruin our business, right?"

"It's okay. Although he was hired by Shang Yunkuang, his purpose is different from that of the Shang family. He intentionally put water on me before, which means that he also wants to let me get into the team."

"He is from the Tong family, and his purpose is Tong Jiu?"

"Well, at least it won't be Changsheng."
