Qilin Jue [Tomb Raiders Notes]

"Jie Dangjia is really a neat method," Hua Qi gritted his teeth secretly, and said with a gloomy face, "I've done it myself."

Xie Yuchen didn't answer, but waved, and the subordinates behind brought the oppressed people to the front.

Hua Qi glanced at the fourth child who was half kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Won't the head of the family tell me why?"

"I don't want to waste time. You just need to tell the reason why your organization involved the Xie family in this matter, and there are two other things connected." Xie Yuchen put down the dagger in his hand, expressionless.

Hua Qi was taken aback, frowned and remained silent for a moment, then said, "Do you know about the organization? Or does the Xie family know about it?"

Xie Yuchen said coldly: "What if you know, so what if you don't know? I don't know about the dispute between you and the Zhang family, but if it involves the Xie family, I need to know."

"What do you want to do?" Hua Qi looked at Xie Yuchen warily.

"What do you think?" Xie Yuchen took a small heavy box that was carried by his subordinates behind him, "This thing you brought is always useful."

Hua Qi was silent, and looked at the fourth child on the ground. The other party couldn't move, with a look of resentment on his face, but he could only shake his head helplessly at Hua Qi.

"...What do you want to know?" Hua Qi asked.

Xie Yuchen raised the corner of his mouth, handed the box to his subordinates, and said, "Back then, the Xie family had an interest relationship with your organization, but that matter became a secret and was not known by all the clansmen, so that the clansmen of this generation didn't know about it." Is it true? Since you are a member sent by that organization, you must have a high status. Tell me everything you know."

Hua Qi was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, sneered, and said, "Hmph, I noticed it, why didn't the master directly check the Nine Gates."

"Jiumen?" Xie Yuchen frowned, "If Jiumen has clues, then I still need to ask you?"

"I mean, members of the Nine Sects," Hua Qi said, "those from the Qi family."

Xie Yuchen frowned suspiciously, but did not speak.

"Everything is indeed related to the Qi family." Hua Qi paused for a while, and continued: "When our organization was established, the first force with interests was the Qi family. But I haven't been in the organization for a long time. I only heard a little about the past. I only know that the negotiations between the Qi family and the organization broke down because of a certain matter, and they no longer have any contact with each other."

Xie Yuchen said coldly, "What does this have to do with the Xie family?"

"The Qi family is the fastest declining member of the Nine Gates, and even rarely participated in the Nine Gates incident. However, the later head of the Qi family joined hands with the rebels in our organization to deal with the organization, took some of the organization's things, and then disappeared. .”

Both Xie Yuchen and Wu Xie were taken aback, and asked at the same time, "Qi Yu?"

……

The light of the flashlight gradually weakened, as if it was slowly being swallowed by the boundless darkness.

The ice in the cave gradually melted as it got deeper, and water began to accumulate on the ground, and the melted water droplets from the roof of the cave fell intermittently.

The sound of empty footsteps sounded like a regular pounding.

"Haven't you arrived yet?" The black glasses scanned the surroundings with a flashlight, "The slope has dropped significantly, and this road should lead to the ground."

As soon as the words were finished, Zhang Qiling, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.

The black glasses walked to his side and saw him frowning slightly.When he was about to ask something, Zhang Qiling made a quiet gesture, turned off the flashlight, and said softly, "Turn off the flashlight".

Knowing that the other party must have noticed something, the black glasses also turned off the flashlight.The entire tunnel suddenly darkened, and the surroundings fell into a sense of silence and huge emptiness.

And in the silence, there was a sudden loud bang, as if something had landed heavily on the ground, the echo after the impact had not disappeared, the air seemed to be rippling in such a vibration, and the ground under your feet was unbearable. He trembled a few times perceptually.Immediately afterwards, there was another weird and slow "呵呵" sound, like the sound of metal being scraped slowly by some sharp object. I don't know where it came from. The whole space is full of this sound, which cannot be distinguished its source.

The sound continued all the time, but suddenly stopped when people thought it would last forever, and the surroundings returned to silence again.

Black Glasses frowned, and was about to turn on the flashlight to see what was going on, but he heard Zhang Qiling beside him suddenly running towards the front, without even turning on the flashlight, the sound of running became farther and farther away in the blink of an eye.

Not caring about anything else, the black glasses immediately chased after him.Even if there is no light, he will not get lost in the dark.

The black glasses kept following Zhang Qiling's footsteps, so when the opponent's footsteps stopped suddenly, he was a little slow to react, did not stop immediately, and ran past the opponent directly.But Zhang Qiling grabbed him in time and turned back, making him retreat.

"You..." The black glasses were startled, then relaxed, and whispered, "What's going on?"

Zhang Qiling turned on the flashlight, shone the light in front of him, his face darkened, and said, "This."

The black glasses followed the light and stared, stunned.

In front of it is a crack in the mountain that cannot be seen at the end. The soft white light faintly illuminates the huge mountain rising from the ground on both sides. It is as straight and steep as if it was split by something, and there is darkness above.But between the two mountains, it hangs straight down, and the bottom is as dark as an abyss, and you can't see the bottom.If the black glasses ran straight over just now, they might have fallen into the abyss.

The ground here is flat without too much ups and downs, but at the fracture of the abyss, the two split mountains extend along the direction of the fracture, like a piece of flat ground that has been split in half, and one half of them is covered by something. It got up, formed a fault, and cracked into a cliff.

Between the cracks, countless thick and huge iron chains were inserted straight into the mountains on both sides. The distance between these iron chains was about one meter, extending into the darkness on the opposite side and down into the abyss.

The black glasses got closer, turned on the flashlight, and shone forward.The blue-colored iron chain was covered with a thick layer of rust, but it was covered with unknown scratches. Behind the heavy iron chains, a dark cave could be vaguely seen on the opposite mountain wall.

"The voice just now..." Black Glasses frowned, "It turned out to be a mechanism set up on the entire mountain. Do you want to go there?"

Zhang Qiling walked to the edge of the fault, looked at the abyss below that was as deep as a ghost land, then grabbed the iron lock closest to him, and said calmly: "Below."

……

"How could it be like this here?" Wu Xie murmured, looking at the cracked ice on the ground that seemed to have broken out of its shell.

"Probably..." Xie Yuchen squatted down on one knee, looking at the large piece of shattered ice shell, "There is something inside."

Wu Xie was taken aback, "If little brother and the others pass by here, maybe they have already passed, or even left here?"

Xie Yuchen stood up, frowned slightly, and said, "We came here less than a day away from them, so it shouldn't be so soon."

"Those people came here at the same time, aiming at the Zhang family, and also involving the understanding family. The little brother should also be for this matter."

Xie Yuchen shook his head, "Those two people called Lao Si and Hua Qi may not tell the truth. People like them who work hard for the organization will always leave a way for themselves in the organization." Said He said, looking at the things carried by his hands behind him, "All the truth will be known soon."

Wu Xie sighed, and was about to say something, but Xie Yuchen turned around and made a quiet gesture, his expression darkened.

Wu Xie was wondering, when suddenly he heard rustling sounds, getting closer and closer, and finally almost from the top of the cave, followed by a burst of chirping like countless chilling cicadas flapping their wings.

"What's that?!" A guy shouted, pointing at the cave wall on one side.

Wu Xie turned his head to look, and was startled.

A large black tide-like object poured down along the cave wall. If you look carefully, you will find that the black tide is actually countless black insects, and the sound is made by the pair of big pincers on their mouths.

Wu Xie wanted to make a sound, but when he heard the cicada-like sound, it was extremely ear-piercing. The sound pierced the eardrum and made people dizzy.

"Back back! Get out of here." Xie Yuchen said.

A fellow wobbled and suddenly fell down.However, countless insects and turtles on the cave wall covered the man's body in the blink of an eye, and some insects crawled into the man's mouth.The rubbing sound of insects and turtles squeezing each other sounds creepy.

Everyone panicked, a buddy quickly took out a gun, and fired a shot close to the edge of the insect swarm, scattering some of the insects and turtles.However, on the exposed part, a bloody wound had been bitten open on the buddy's abdomen, and bugs and turtles continued to crawl in, but the buddy never made a sound, and in an instant, there was no life left.

Everyone understands that it is hopeless.

"These insects should be poisonous, don't get close!" Xie Yuchen covered his ears to block the sound, and said calmly, "Get out of here!"

Everyone quickly ran to the depths of the cave, and the two guys behind took out a torch, lit it and threw it on the ground to prevent the worms from approaching.

However, the swarm of insects climbed up the cave wall and kept coming, making louder and louder calls. Among these insects, a turtle with red tentacles crawled to the front, suddenly spread its wings, flew up, and quickly approached The people running ahead.

The guy who ran last fell to the ground suddenly.

Xie Yuchen and Wu Xie turned their heads, and all they saw was the scene of insects crawling all over the guy's body. Before they had time to react, the sky was covered by insects and turtles.

Xie Yuchen gritted his teeth and turned his head.

Fortunately, running at full strength finally gradually moved away from the swarm.

When those voices could not be heard at all, Xie Yuchen waved everyone to stop.

After counting the hands, Xie Yuchen frowned tightly.Before reaching the place, there were already two missing. Except for the people who stayed at the entrance to guard Hua Qi and the others, there were only three. This was completely unexpected.

"Xiaohua!" Wu Xie who was not far away interrupted Yuchen's thoughts.

"What's wrong?" Xie Yuchen walked over.

Wu Xie turned on the flashlight and asked Xie Yuchen to look over, "Here..."

Seeing the huge crack in the mountain in front of him, Xie Yuchen was startled.

"There seems to be an entrance on the opposite side," Wu Xie said after taking a deep breath, his voice echoing in the empty space, "There is an abyss below, and these iron chains should be able to climb through."

Xie Yuchen looked opposite, the light of the flashlight became weaker as it got farther away, but it faintly illuminated the dark hole.

"Do you want to go there?" Wu Xie asked.

"That's probably the only way." Xie Yuchen lowered his head, looked at the abyss under the fault, "Try first."

After finishing speaking, Xie Yuchen grabbed an iron chain and shook it vigorously, but the iron chain did not move at all, and was deeply and firmly inserted into the mountains on both sides.

Putting down his hands, Xie Yuchen said, "It's still solid. But don't be careless."

Got some guys out of the gear with the carabiner.For the sake of safety, let everyone tie a rope and buckle through the mountain like climbing a mountain.

The author has something to say:

Because of the delay in the examination, I am more sorry now... T^T

After taking it off for so long, I originally let Xiaohua meet in this chapter, but... OTL... See you in the next chapter...

I won't cheat, I promise!
