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

see bronze tree

Zhang Yan looked at Wu Xie and Lao Tiao eating there, then looked back at the robbery cave over there, and remained silent. Wu Xie, who had no appetite, noticed Zhang Yan's abnormality, "Zhang Yan, don't you eat something?" Is there a break?"

Zhang Yan came back to his senses and shook his head, "Eat first, I forgot something on the top of the cliff, I'll be back in about an hour, don't go up if I don't come back, itching, you'd better talk to Wu Xie more, leave the robber cave Stay away, it's better to sit by the side of the secret road." He put down the package, then took out a few pieces of talisman paper, and before Wu Xie and Lao Tiao could reply, he quickly went out of the robber's hole again with his sword in hand go up.

Wu Xie was taken aback, what did Zhang Yan want to leave the team halfway?He immediately wanted to follow up to have a look, but as soon as he got to the bottom of the robbery cave, he found that the robbery cave had been sealed by Zhang Yan, and he couldn't open it no matter how he pushed, Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, what's the situation?Why did Zhang Yan seal them all in this tomb all of a sudden? Is it just to prevent them from following?

As soon as Zhang Yan jumped out of the hole, he immediately pried out a few relatively complete coffin boards to cover the hole, and at the same time pasted talisman papers around the boards on the cover, and then put his sword on top of it. After this, he walked to the place where the open space meets the Thousand Coffin Formation, cut the palms of both hands with a dagger, drew a talisman on the blank talisman paper with blood, held it in his hand, and poured some blood on the bell, whispering After reading a few words, the bell rang according to a certain frequency, "Dingling——"

"jingle bells—"

The rather ethereal and ethereal bell sound spread in all directions immediately, and the echoes spread to the entire cave. Zhang Yan kept ringing the bell, and walked step by step towards the cliff where he came from with his eyes closed. The blood from the wound was deliberately kept flowing. Sliding to the ground, an incomparably clear bloodstain spread out with his steps, and at the same time, he sang faintly: "Nian Xingxi... Mingming... Miaomiao Lingyin, true blood...

Follow me from here...

Lingxianxi... Lingningxi...

It turns out that Meng Po is relative...

Bitterness and happiness only need to be left behind...

The soul is gone... the soul is gone...

Misty mist and ghost soldiers welcome...

Is there a night light...

Obsessions disappear... resentment disperses... Huangquan forgets rivers but mortals... cross you and return..."

As the ringtones and chants continued, the temperature in the cave dropped rapidly, and thicker and thicker gray mist floated out from nowhere to fill the entire space. The coffin behind him ignited, and countless gray and black fuzzy figures in armor quietly emerged from it, floating in one after another, silently following behind Zhang Yan along the road paved with two bloodstains.

In the sealed tomb, Wu Xie suddenly shuddered, "Old itchy, do you feel that it's suddenly a little cold here?"

The old itchy, who was inexplicably distraught, was suddenly startled, nodded, "Yes—it's a little bit" and then dragged Wu Xie to the entrance of the secret passage, "Anyway, it will take a while for Zhang Yan to come back, I—we Do you want to go down and have a look first? Wait— come up later?"

Wu Xie was a little unhappy. He felt that it was not safe to go down without preparation, and it would be easy to get separated from Zhang Yan who hadn't returned yet. Running back and forth for nothing, don't you feel tired and panic?"

"Say—maybe he just left us here and ran away?"

"Fuck you, it's impossible, old itch, don't think so badly about him, besides, people and things are still there, where can you go? Run away to your sister"

When Zhang Yan climbed up the cliff, a series of melodious and desolate sounds of antler horns came from the other end, and countless faint black shadows formed a long line with no tail standing quietly beside the waterfall. As if it came out of the rock wall, Zhang Yan, who was already prepared, quickly stopped the bleeding, and threw the prepared blood talisman towards the group of black shadows, and then immediately backed away very quickly. The faint gray shadow floating behind him immediately followed the flung talisman to the black shadow queue waiting there for Jing Jing. As the talisman fell into the hands of the leader, the black shadows immediately moved, and the front team became the rear team. , went away silently and quickly, and the shadows quietly followed behind them, gradually disappearing in the mist.

With the departure of the last gray shadow, the mist here quickly faded, and disappeared without a trace after a while, no one knew where it started or where it disappeared.

Seeing that the entire cave space had returned to normal again, Zhang Yan let out a heavy breath, shook his head, which was a little dizzy due to excessive blood loss, and rejoiced in his heart. Difficult to do..."

Zhang Yan went down the cliff again, passed through the coffin array that was still burning with a little will-o'-the-wisp, and quickly returned to the open space where the robbery cave was. After checking the protection he made before, he found that only the talisman paper had been burned out, and nothing else After it was damaged, he was relieved, picked up the sword with some difficulty, pushed away the coffin board and jumped down.

Wu Xie was chatting with Lao Tick boringly, he was relieved when he saw Zhang Yan came back, he got up and greeted him, "Zhang Yan, what did you just do—" He was halfway through talking, but found that Zhang Yan who came was as pale as paper, There was no trace of blood. Looking at the obviously weak Zhang Yan, Wu Xie's words were suddenly stuck, and he quickly supported Zhang Yan who was shaking a little while watching, "Where did you get hurt? How did you become like this?" , I'll help you over there"

After helping Zhang Yan to sit against the wall of the tomb, Wu Xie, who was a little nervous, noticed the dried blood on Zhang Yan's hand and the obvious wound on his palm. "Are you going out to let blood?" Zhang Yan took so long to do it. What, so much blood was poured out, Wu Xie was puzzled when he saw that the wound was obviously caused by the other party himself, but he quickly brought medicine and gauze to bandage Zhang Yan. He still couldn't help asking, "What the hell are you doing here?"

Zhang Yan shook his head and didn't answer, but said softly, "I'll take a break, and we'll go down together in an hour." Then he took out the futon in the package, closed his eyes and meditated to rest.

Wu Xie looked at this obviously refusing to answer, and was choked up. Although he was a little annoyed, he didn't bother others to rest. He just sat back beside Lao Tiao in a bit of displeasure, and waited for Zhang Yan to wake up.

A few minutes later, Lao Xie quietly looked at Zhang Yan who was meditating with his eyes closed, and then at Wu Xie who got up again and was looking around the utensils boredly, and tentatively and quietly threw a stone around Zhang Yan. Seeing that Zhang Yan only opened his eyes and gave him a warning glance after the stone fell to the ground, he glanced at Wu Xie vaguely, his eyes flickering.

"I've rested, let's go." Wu Xie, who was concentrating on checking an antique, was suddenly photographed by Zhang Yan, and then went straight into the secret passage without waiting for Wu Xie's reply. Wu Xie was taken aback, it's not been an hour yet ?Recovered so quickly?Although he felt that something was wrong, he didn't dare to neglect Zhang Yan, who had already entered the secret passage and quickly disappeared.

The stairs are very long, and the heat gets hotter as you go down. After a while, Wu Xie started to sweat profusely. Looking at the figure in front of him that was getting faster and faster, he finally couldn't help but stop complaining, "Zhang Yan, you Damn, the starving ghost is reincarnated! What are you doing walking so fast?"

The figure in front didn't answer, but did stop, Wu Xie sighed helplessly, who taught this person who doesn't speak and ignores others?This behavior is more and more similar to that of the little brother. Could it be that big brothers have this stinking problem?

Wu Xie vomited in his heart, but he still pulled the old itchy who was also panting and quickly followed. After the two chased Zhang Yan and walked for a while, they arrived on a flat ground. Zhang Yan was already on the ground at this time. Waiting for them here, Old Itch lit the lighter and the torches on both sides of the exit, Wu Xie walked up to Zhang Yan and wanted to reach out to pat him twice to tell him not to walk so fast, but Zhang Yan quickly turned sideways to hide After that, looking at the dodged hand, Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, and then became agitated. Just when he was about to scold someone, he heard Zhang Yan's cold voice, "I'm hurt, don't touch it."

Wu Xie instantly remembered the tragic scene that Poker Ping had torn off Zhang Yan's diving suit in the underwater tomb, and subconsciously shut up, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong. Seeing other wounds on Zhang Yan's body, is it too good to hide?When I was wondering, I heard Zhang Yan say, "Look ahead, the bronze tree is here."

Wu Xie subconsciously looked up and looked forward. They were already at the bottom of a huge circular vertical well with a diameter of more than 60 meters. The bottom was sunken into a deep pit. In the center of the pit could vaguely see something standing upright. It was a huge thing, and I was a little surprised, "Is that the bronze tree that Zhang Yan said? Impossible? It seems too big."

Wu Xie looked around again, habitually guessing that this place should be the bottom of the rocky mountain of Jinyu Mountain, because the side wall of the vertical well obviously had excavated traces, obviously this cavity was artificially created, but they dug it so deep What are you doing, just to build a bronze tree?So why not just build it outside?Or is it that the tree was actually dug out from here by someone later?

Wu Xie thought for a while, but gusts of hot wind kept blowing up from top to bottom, making him feel dizzy and unable to understand anything.

At this moment, Zhang Yan and Old Itching had already pulled out a torch next to it and walked towards the bottom of the pit. Seeing this, Wu Xie also learned to pull out a torch on the other side, and followed Zhang Yan Old Itching to the pit. A very spectacular scene gradually became clear in front of the three of them.

A large copper pillar with a diameter of about ten meters stands in the middle of a huge pit. At first glance, it is thought to be a curved copper wall. It goes straight up and is unattainable. Stable, although Wu Xie had some mental preparations, he was still stunned. It was much bigger than what he saw from a distance. Such a giant metal object had already exceeded the level of smelting at that time. Humans would definitely do it. No, appearing here is simply a miracle.

Wu Xie couldn't help but took a closer look, and found that there were many small copper rods of different thicknesses on the copper pillar, which were very similar to the one carried by Lao Xie. He subconsciously estimated that there were no less than a thousand rods densely packed. I don't know how much more to go up.

In a place that Wu Xie couldn't see, Lao Xie glanced at the silent Zhang Yan, and then quickly looked away. He covered the strangeness in his eyes and said to Wu Xie: "When I first arrived at this place, I I thought I saw the Dinghaishenzhen, but after a closer look, I realized that it was a huge bronze tree, but I just don’t understand, what is the meaning of this thing here?”

Looking at this huge copper pillar, Wu Xie was so surprised that he felt chills all over his body, and shivered: "Then you have to ask the person who inserted it here to know, damn it, speaking of it, the mine above it may not be a mine at all. They dug for mining, but for this thing. They have dug all the way down the mountain and have not found the end, so how deep must this thing be inserted into the ground?" He said and looked at Zhang Yan He was itchy and wanted them to give some explanation, "Do you two know what's going on here?"

Zhang Yan shook his head, didn't make a sound, just looked at the bronze tree intently, as if he was thinking about something.

At this moment, Lao Xie said: "When I came here last time, I've thought about it, this thing, maybe it will be inserted into hell."
