[Tomb Raiders Notes] Play to the depths, enter the venue by yourself

Underground Huangquan River (repair)

Zhang Yan looked at the old itch who was still rubbing his head, feeling refreshed in his heart, but only smiled on the surface, and walked up to the stone door naturally, a faint smell of sulfur suddenly came out, he looked at it I took a look at the nearly straight stone steps in the dark passage, "I'll go down first, you follow"

Zhang Yan was at the head, Wu Xie was in the middle, and Old Itch was at the end. A group of three walked down the steep stone steps. This kind of almost straight stone steps was very difficult to climb. The miners were not careful when digging, some were shallow and some were deep. Most of them could only step on half of their feet. Wu Xie went down a dozen steps with a flashlight on, and he already started panting, and at the same time, his toes started to hurt because of the force.After going down for about 60 steps, his hamstrings began to tremble, and there was a sign of twitching. With his body completely out of control, Wu Xie had to call Zhang Yan in front to stop and rest.

Zhang Yan turned his head to look at Wu Xie, who was out of breath, and then looked at the slightly twitching legs of the other party. Suddenly, he forgot that Wu Xie was just an ordinary person without training, and then shook his head helplessly. "You need to exercise more." He said and pressed a few acupuncture points on Wu Xie's leg, "Is it better now? Your posture needs to be changed, don't put all the stress on your toes... "

Wu Xie looked at his feet that were no longer twitching in surprise, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart. There were three of them in the group, and he was the one who held back the most. He followed Zhang Yan's instructions while panting, and replied, "Go back, I will definitely go back." Practice, thank you, thank you." As he said that, he was taken by the old itch behind him, and continued to climb down under Zhang Yan's guidance. After 10 minutes, the trend of the mine changed, and the angle gradually began to appear, and the stairs were easy to climb. When I got up, the rocks in this section also turned reddish brown obviously, and there were still many small reflections in the photo, and the steepness of the mine tunnel at the back became more and more gradual, and finally there was a trend of being parallel.

Zhang Yan listened carefully to the increasingly clear sound of water, and looked back at the last old itch, "It should be almost to the end, let's speed up."

The two people behind them nodded, and they speeded up and followed Zhang Yan to continue walking down.

Wu Xie listened to the sound of water getting louder and louder, which sounded like thousands of horses galloping, and his mind was full of thoughts, so he couldn't help asking the old itchy, "Old itchy, is there a waterfall underneath?"

The old itchy scratched his head, with a hesitant expression, and said slowly, "Okay—it seems to be an underground river, no—I don’t remember if there is a waterfall—there is a waterfall."

Wu Xie noticed the slight expression of the old itchy, and wondered, didn't this old itchy come here three years ago?Why is the forgetfulness so great, could it be that he has entered old age in advance?

After going down for more than ten meters, the mine tunnel has completely calmed down. The three of them walked down comfortably as if they were walking down stairs. The sound of the water became louder and louder. With a strong smell of sulfur.

Wu Xie also smelled the smell of sulfur in the wind at this time, and was even more surprised in her heart. Could there be sulfur here?Impossible, isn't this a volcano?

Feeling that the situation here was getting more and more unreasonable, he continued to follow Zhang Yan with doubts.

After Zhang Yan walked for a while, the two sides of the mine road in front of him became wider. He who was walking in the front suddenly felt a strong wind blowing from the front. He raised his hand to block the strong wind. Seeing that Zhang Yan's pace slowed down, Wu Xie, who had been through the strong wind, immediately walked a few steps quickly and took a flashlight to look forward, and found that they had come to a natural cave.

This is a cave, rather than a horizontal underground passage.There are no stalactites on the top of the cave, but the surrounding stones have become smooth after years of erosion, and the bottom of the cave is an underground river. "Old itch, where should we go now?" Zhang Yan looked at the probably There is a basketball court wide, five or six meters high, and a natural cave that extends infinitely on the left and right sides. He always feels that there is an inexplicable restriction on him here, so he was too lazy to lose his sense of perception, so he asked the old itchy directly.

Wu Xie was carefully observing the surrounding environment at this time, and silently guessed that this should be a rock vein in a big mountain. When Zhang Yan asked Lao Xie aloud, he tentatively walked into the water, but found that the water temperature in the river was very low. It was quite high, and it was difficult to get down. He endured the high temperature and tried to take two steps forward, but the further he went, the deeper the water was, and within a few steps, he did not reach his knees. Immediately, he became vigilant and quickly backed away go back.

"Follow—follow the water flow, there are iron chains in the water, just follow the iron chains." Lao Xie looked at Wu Xie who was about to say something just after retreating, and immediately got into the water, blocking Wu Xie with his actions. Xie’s mouth, he quickly ran to the front, touched it in the water, and quickly pulled a black iron chain about the thickness of his wrist out of the water. :"This is it……"

Zhang Yan looked suspiciously at the old itchy who was suddenly active, and felt that this guy was trying to be a monster again. He thought about what he had seen in his memory, and asked the old itchy, "Is there a cliff at the end of the water? "

The old itchy was taken aback for a moment, and then he was vague, "Okay, it seems to be, I can't remember."

Zhang Yan frowned, whether this person really forgot or pretended to forget, but the strange feeling here didn't seem to be an old itching problem, at least not all of it.

From the moment he entered the mine, he felt that something was wrong, as if his spiritual perception had been suppressed by something. There was a faint spiritual position covering this area and repelling him. This feeling was not obvious when he first came in. But after coming in so far, as the suppression became stronger and stronger, he affirmed this guess.Thinking of the bronze tree in the book, Zhang Yan fell into deep thought.

Seeing Zhang Yan frowning in thought, Wu Xie couldn't help guessing whether this Taoist priest, like Poker Ping, would trigger some memories after arriving at a certain place, so after waiting for a while, he tentatively asked "Zhang Yan , did you remember something?"

Zhang Yan came back to his senses and shook his head, "I can't remember anything, let's go."

Wu Xie was a little puzzled, why did she say with certainty that she couldn't remember?It seems that Zhang Yan's amnesia is worse than Poker's. He was thinking about whether to take Zhang Yan to the hospital some time after going out, and when he started to go into the water, suddenly a huge wave exploded in the water in front of him. ——

Zhang Yan looked up immediately, and Wu Xie and Lao Xie immediately turned their flashlights back to take a look, only to see a thick water column rushing out of the water surface, and after hitting the cave roof, the scalding water fell down like rain, and even splashed On several people, the water column rushed up to the top of the cave and did not fade for a moment, but became more and more fierce.

Seeing the increasingly turbulent jet of water, Wu Xie rubbed his red skin after being splashed by the water, and wanted to ask Zhang Yan what to do, but when he glanced at it and saw it was a jet of water, he was in a daze immediately, not knowing what to do. Zhang Yan, who was thinking about something, immediately knew that this guy, who was turning into the second incarnation, could no longer be counted on, so he turned his head to look at Old Itch, "What should we do now, Old Itch? Have you been waiting here for it to stop?"

The old itchy shook his head, "This is an intermittent hot fountain, look at the posture, no—I don't know how long it will continue to spray, we still—let's pull the iron chain and leave now, or the water will get hotter and hotter" said Then he pulled the iron chain and swam to the side passage. Wu Xie couldn't wait for the old itch, feeling a little helpless, quickly grabbed Zhang Yan who was still in a daze, gritted his teeth, and quickly got off the old itch After getting into the water, Zhang Yan was thinking about the relationship between the fountain and the Qinling Mountains, the old itchy and even the bronze tree. After being dragged by Wu Xie, he finally came back to his senses. He looked at the two people who had already entered the water, and sighed. He gave up the idea of ​​dragging Wu Xie over the cave wall alone, and followed him into the water.

The fountain water and the underground river water are mixed together, and the temperature of the river water is also much higher. As soon as the hole is plunged down, it is like swimming into a boiling casserole, and the whole body is burned. Wu Xie swam more than ten meters in a row, feeling more and more The higher the water temperature, he couldn't help poking his head out to look back. The water around the spring had already boiled, and the heat flow spread rapidly. Almost the entire river surface that he could see began to emit water vapor. He immediately regretted that he should not have followed The old itchy came down in a panic, he looked at the quietly swimming behind him, it was obviously Zhang Yan who was supporting the bottom, now all three of them came down for a while, and at this time they went back and came in again The mine tunnel is no longer possible, the water over there is the hottest, and it has already boiled, so I have to bite the bullet and go down the underground waterway.

Wu Xie was ruthless, plunged into the water, and swam forward quickly, even surpassing the old itchy, swimming in the forefront.

Originally, he just followed Wu Xie at a certain speed. Zhang Yan couldn't help feeling a little uneasy as Wu Xie was getting further and further away from him. When he was about to speed up and catch up, he found a cold light flashing in front of the door. Zhang Yan subconsciously stopped. Tilting his head, a dagger quickly flew over from where he was just now, and he immediately looked in the direction where the dagger was thrown, only to see Lao Xie rushing towards Wu Xie without looking back. Zhang Yan's expression became stern, and immediately Taking out a dagger from the package behind his back, Wu Xie threw it at Old Itching. With the speed of the water, Wu Xie rushed in for several hundred meters at once. Feeling that the water temperature had stopped rising, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to follow the path. Taking a flashlight while swimming backstroke in the current, I saw the old itchy not far behind was rushing towards him, beckoned desperately to him, and yelled at him: "Stop! Stop! Ahead—"

Lao Xie didn't finish his sentence, as if he was hit by something, his whole body was suddenly buried in the water, so Wu Xie didn't hear the last few words, but at this time he had already heard the roaring sound coming from behind him. The sound of water, Wu Xie turned his head to take a picture, and saw the water splashing not far in front of him. It was a big cliff. The water flow slanted down from the cliff, and the thunder-like roar came from the bottom of the cliff. waterfall.

Wu Xie, who was engulfed by the rushing water, was stunned for a moment. If he rushed down, he would definitely be dead. At this moment, Lao Xie poked his head out again and shouted: "By the side! By the side! There is a waterfall ahead! "As he spoke, he kept approaching Wu Xie.

Only then did Wu Xie react, and quickly swam to the edge of the waterway, grabbed the cave wall with all his strength, and was carried out by the water for three or four meters, until he almost stopped himself at the edge of the cave. Come to this side, but when the old itchy swims towards him, it seems to be taken by the water again, and it deviates in one direction and hits the cliff slightly to the side of Wu Xie. Wu Xie subconsciously wants to hold the old itchy, but Zhang Yan suddenly jumped out of the water in the distance behind Old Itching and shouted, "Wu Xie! Don't go there!"

Wu Xie froze for a moment, subconsciously stopped his body, but Lao Xie had already bumped up from the side, his hands and feet scrambled and knocked Wu Xie out at once, the two of them squatted down and rolled into a ball in the water, Wu Xie had no difficulty When he poked his head out again, he had rushed to the edge of the waterfall and started to fly into the air. Wu Xie subconsciously stretched out his hands and grabbed him, but one hand was holding him firmly. The iron chain grabbed his hand with one hand, and their feet were already dangling below the cliff, the water below was rumbling, it was pitch black, and it was bottomless.

"Old—Old Wu, grab the iron chain next to you..."

In fact, there is no need for Lao You to remind him at all. When Wu Xie looked up at Lao You, he found that there were a lot of iron chains in the surrounding water, so he had already held one of the iron chains as insurance before Lao You opened his mouth.But when he heard what Old Tickle said, he still couldn't help yelling, "Old Tickle, why the hell are you so stupid! You almost killed both of us just now! Fortunately, our lives didn't really fall!"

Seeing that Wu Xie had firmly grasped the chain, Lao Xie let go of his grip, allowing Wu Xie to adjust his body so that he could bear the force. At the same time, he apologized repeatedly with guilt and embarrassment.

Zhang Yan, who had already jumped out of the water and was clinging to the wall of the cliff mouth, wanted to make trouble for the old itchy, but looking down, they intertwined, like a railing, blocking the iron chain belts of various things floating from upstream. A lot of gaps appeared due to broken chains, and Wu Xie's old itch hanging from the gap belt couldn't help being a little anxious, because another wave of boiling water was coming in the river next to him, and the temperature was absolutely unbearable for Wu Xie and the others. .

Looking at the boiling water that was about to rush down the river, Zhang Yan immediately decided to settle the score with Lao Tickle later, took out the rope of the backpack and jumped down, and at the same time shouted at Wu Xie, "Wu Xie, just jump!"

Wu Xie looked up immediately, and there was steam on the top, and the boiling water had already arrived. He could even feel the heat wave rushing over tens of meters away. At the same time, a figure jumped down. Wu Xie had no time to hesitate, so he chose immediately Believe in Zhang Yan, he yelled to Old Itchy, "Old Itchy, jump!" At the same time, he immediately loosened his hand holding the iron chain and fell down. Zhang Yan, who was already jumping down and approaching Wu Xie, looked at the right time, threw out the rope and wrapped it up. Wu Xie caught Wu Xie who was falling, and threw him up at the same time, approached and grabbed Wu Xie while falling again, Wu Xie in mid-air only felt that he was going up and down from time to time, it was more exciting than a roller coaster, but people were in mid-air Suddenly, his head felt as if he had been hit by something, and he was extremely dizzy and his head sank. When he felt that he was completely grabbed by someone, his eyes darkened and he passed out.
