Tomb Raiders: Ghosts

On the way back, Fengzi was responsible for looking for traces left by the Chen family in the woods. They followed the traces, and Asi led them around the range of aggressive animals.

"Don't move." Fengzi, who was walking in front, stopped abruptly, pulled Assi beside him with one hand, and raised the other hand to make two gestures to the people behind - stop and keep silent.

The others are all "old Jianghu". When they saw Fengzi's two gestures, they stopped immediately, but Shan Ling obviously couldn't react. The sudden "brake" almost hit the Ah in front of him. Xi, opened his mouth and was about to exclaim.

Fortunately, Chu Yizhu and the old ghost reacted very quickly. One helped him to avoid falling, and the other raised his hand to cover his mouth, trying to silence his exclamation. The others were all relieved in their hearts. in one breath.

Shan Ling knew that her bluff almost caused trouble, her face flushed slightly, she opened her eyes to look at Chu Yizhu, her eyes were full of apology.

Chu Yizhu was not angry, and patted him on the back lightly with one hand.

The pat on the back was comforting, making Shan Ling feel warm. At the same time, she reminded herself that she must pay attention and be careful. Uncle Su took her to save her father, so she must not become someone else's father. burdensome.

I saw Fengzi stretching out his hand and slowly pushing aside the bushes in front of him to let others see clearly. Shan Ling avoided screaming when he saw something, and consciously raised his hand to cover his mouth. When he saw the bushes clearly Seeing the scene behind the cluster, I felt that the hairs all over my body were blown up, and my eyes were widened with fear.

The scene in front of her was full of horror and shock to Shan Ling. She saw a few people lying on the ground behind the bushes. Their bodies were torn and bloody, and many colorful phoenix-tailed butterflies were parked there. The only place where no butterflies landed is in the belly, and the high belly is like an eight month pregnant, and there is something wriggling under the round belly.

Not to mention the rookie Shan Ling, even Si'er and Ah Jun were blue-faced, and Asi's whole body trembled slightly from fright, and he almost collapsed on the ground, and was grabbed by the old ghost in time.

Fengzi raised his hand and made a gesture to tell everyone to step back, so as not to disturb this group of terrifying butterflies, he slowly let go of the hand pushing away the bushes, without a sound.

More than a dozen people retreated very lightly, without making a sound, but only ten meters away from the place, Asi's expression changed, and he stretched out his hand, imitating what Fengzi did just now. Packing up and making a movement, all the retreating people stopped quickly, and they were shocked in their hearts. Could it be those butterflies again?

"Don't move, or you will enter the attack range of that thing." Asi said, while motioning everyone to look back, the movements of his hands were neat.

What they encountered was not those horrible butterflies, but something else.

Everyone turned around slowly, and saw a one-meter-long animal with yellow skin and black spots behind the tree, lowering its body and watching them closely with fierce eyes.

That... it turned out to be a spotted leopard. Everyone took a breath, and several of them even pulled out their guns.

"No, don't shoot." Asi said in a low voice, "Let me do it."

Holding the butterfly-butterfly-knife beside the old ghost, he pulled out a short dagger from his waist, hooked his fingers around the circle on the handle and swung it up, pinched the tip with two fingers, and made a gesture to Asi with the other hand , the dagger in his hand flew out.

The piebald leopard's reaction ability was extremely fast, and it moved quickly to dodge to the side. It bared its teeth and was about to pounce on the crowd. There was a sudden sound of piercing through the air, and the arrow had already pierced the leopard's front paw. The wound was not deep, but the leopard saw The figure flickered, and then fell down.

Only then did everyone realize that Assi's arrow was stained with a strong drug.

"Let's go."

Although there is little movement here, it may disturb the butterflies, so leave here as soon as possible.

Everyone bypassed that place and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just...just now, huh...what the hell is that butterfly, it actually landed on the corpse, and those corpses...are they from the Chen family?" Shan Ling panted heavily, her face still pale One piece, has not recovered from the scene he saw before, and even trembled slightly unconsciously.

"This kind of butterfly is recorded in an ancient book. It is another subspecies of Pteris vulgaris. Indulging in the happiest dream." The old ghost said, frowning slightly, and continued: "But the one we just saw is a little different, this kind of butterfly is very sensitive to the smell of blood, they It has piercing-sucking mouthparts, which can easily pierce the flesh to absorb blood, and at the same time lay eggs in the stomach. The eggs in the stomachs of those people just now are probably all eggs of these things. Once they are disturbed, they will release scale powder. Scale powder also has a psychedelic effect, which can make people see the most terrifying things, so it was named 'Pterissidae'."

They learned about this thing 20 years ago.

"Although I didn't look closely, those corpses definitely belong to the Chen family." Si'er said.

Hearing the old ghost and Si'er's words, Shan Ling's heart skipped a beat, her face turned even paler, and she said, "Uncle Su, will Dad be in danger when they meet that 'monster butterfly'?"

Asi couldn't help but cast his gaze towards this side, and his eyes were also deeply worried about his father.

"Those are all the little scumbags of the Chen family. I saw deep scars on their necks when I leaned forward. They must have encountered the group of butterflies all of a sudden. In order to escape, I directly killed a few of them. Bait." Fengzi said.

"If they want to go into the mountains, they need a guide. Your father will be fine for the time being. On the contrary, we must try our best to protect them." Ah Jun said, reaching out to pat Shan Ling on the shoulder.

Shan Ling nodded lightly, then took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Now that he's here, he can't be afraid, otherwise he won't be able to save Dad, and will become a burden to others.

Continuing to advance towards the mountain, Asi led everyone to bypass the danger several times along the way, and also used his poisoned arrows to shoot a few, but he never encountered those phoenix-tailed butterflies again.

"It's near here." Chu Yizhu said as he took out a piece of paper folded into a square, and spread it out. On it, many square lines were drawn with red pens and blue pens, like a map .

Si'er glanced at the paper, and said: "Master, I didn't see Chen Xiaogou's people, they should have entered from the other side."

"Yeah." Chu Yi nodded suddenly, and then said: "Axi, stop here, the others prepare the chili."

All of them who entered the mountain together had a bag of millet pepper in their equipment, including Asi, who was also given a share. Hearing Chu Yiju's words, Shan Ling took out the red bag.

"What's the use of this... chili pepper?"

Chu Yisu took out a millet pepper, put it directly into his mouth, and said, "From now on, at any time, you must have a pepper in your mouth, otherwise, you will definitely not be able to see the sun tomorrow."

Shan Ling didn't quite understand, and imitated Chu Yiju with a millet pepper in his mouth, feeling a little uneasy, and then watched Chu Yiju lead the others to take out the tools and start to get busy on the ground.

"What are they doing?" Asi leaned over from the side, and obviously had a good impression of Shan Ling who was "sympathetic to each other".

"I don't quite understand either."

"The entrance to the cemetery collapsed 20 years ago. Now they have to find the weakest place and make a hole to go in." Si'er walked over and stood beside Shan Ling. Long before entering the mountain, he He had received Chu Yiju's order, and his mission was to follow Shan Ling to protect him on this trip.

"You... want to enter the cemetery?" Asi was startled, his whole body was blown up, his face was very ugly.

"Hush, little brother Asi, don't get excited, those people are going to enter this tomb, and we came here to save people." Si'er looked like "we are all good people", and then without hesitation, Shan Ling He was dragged into the water, and said: "If you don't believe me, you can ask Little Lingdang, his father is a top student in the Department of Archeology of the No. The reason why he captured his father, because his father had entered this tomb."

The corner of Shan Ling's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, what the hell is Little Bell?Who are you calling, and then felt the sight of Asi looking over from the side, and nodded.

"Well, my dad used to be in the Department of Archeology."

However, he did not do archaeological work later, so he took him back to a remote mountain village and worked as an accountant in a small company in the town.

Hearing this, Asi's complexion finally improved, and he felt that this group of people were not bad people, they were really just here to save people.

"Follow me after the two of you go in. Don't get separated. There are many traps inside, which are very dangerous. As long as we find someone, we will leave." Si'er patted the two on the shoulders.

It's true that they are tomb robbers, but this time the operation is quite special. The purpose is not to go to the tomb to find the artifact, but to help their boss find a senior.

"En." Asi nodded, tightly holding the iron bow in his hand, very nervous.

"Brother Si'er, there is another question, why do we keep the millet pepper in our mouths?" Shan Ling said, moving her mouth, the tip of the millet pepper was exposed between her light-colored lips, she sucked it, and put it away again.

Shan Ling is from Cantonese and is not used to spicy food. Although she goes to school in Sichuan, she usually buys the ingredients for cooking by herself, so she always eats light food. Now she has a millet pepper in her mouth, and she is really afraid of breaking the skin. , has always been cautious, like holding a pepper in his mouth is not a bomb.

"The scale powder of the butterfly is hallucinogenic and makes people hallucinate, but the spicy taste of millet pepper can relieve this illusion, so when you enter here, you must hold the millet pepper in your mouth. Once you are tricked, you will bite the millet pepper in your mouth, haha ..."

The last two "hehe" made the corners of Assi and Shanling's mouths burn with pain.
