Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

The rustling sound followed, I angrily untied the bandage on my hand, made another cut, and dripped blood behind me, believing that this should temporarily stop the scorpion's footsteps.

Then I made a lot of marks along the way, thinking that if the dumb sister and the others follow up, they won’t get lost. The further they go, the more forks will become, and the passage will become very narrow. You need to be short to walk through. There are many traces of manual excavation, the soil has become black and soft, and water seeps out, which makes me believe that the water source should be not far away.

I walked forward for about two hours. I rested on the rock exhausted for a while. Those scorpions didn't catch up. The dumb sister and the others didn't know what happened. I thought about whether I should continue to move forward or Go back to them.

Then I repeatedly recalled a sentence, "There is no time. What does it refer to? It refers to people or things. Since the dumb sister didn't make it clear, I can only guess without more clues. What is time-limited? , such as human life, or entering the Queen Mother’s Palace must pass a certain condition, and this condition is also time-limited. I once heard my second uncle say that Wu Xie and the others found it along the waterway after heavy rain more than ten years ago. The underground palace, and we should be on the branch of the water vein now, if the direction is correct, I believe we will find it."

Thinking of this, I suddenly lost my hesitation. The West Queen Mother's Palace may be right in front of me, but I'm still wasting time here. Maybe the dumb sister said there is no time. She just wanted to tell me to find them quickly, or they would be in danger.

Thinking of this, I couldn’t sit still any longer. I packed my things and walked forward for a long time. The ground became more and more wet, and finally there was a piece of mud. Fortunately, there were no blood-sucking insects such as leeches inside.

Just when I was secretly happy, I saw the scene in front of me and almost fainted with anger. I saw that the front was tightly sealed by a mud wall. I shoveled it a few times with a shovel, which proved that the wall was very thick and that there was no way out. , am I really that bad and chose a dead end?

It couldn't have been a worse situation.

I leaned against the dirt wall depressed, thinking about what to do next. If Pokerfing encounters this situation, he should be able to find the nearest exit, and then go directly to a robbery hole. Unfortunately, I don't have this ability, I It's just a half-baked Zhang family who just recognized their ancestors and returned to their ancestors. I don't know anything about the amazing survival skills of the family.

At this time, my feet were deep in the mud, wet and sticky. I frowned helplessly and moved to a relatively dry place. My eyes were suddenly attracted by the moss on the left wall. Moisture seeped out, causing the entire wall to be damp. The moss grew thick and thick, and it was obvious that it had existed for a long time.

A few more shovels were placed at the spring in the corner of the wall, and the water flow increased instantly. It seemed that there should be an underground river or a water source behind the wall. I knocked on the wall, and there was a muffled echo. Shout out to help.

Because the back is hollow.

Then I found a soft place and shoveled it a few more times, and the water began to flow out in large quantities. Because I was not sure what was going on behind the wall, I didn’t dare to shovel any more. I just scraped some soil carefully and let the water flow along the wall. The hole flowed down, and as the splashing water got bigger and bigger, I gradually increased my strength and opened the hole a little wider. Suddenly, a strong jet of water sprayed on me, making me stagger back unexpectedly. It was easy to stand firm, and there was another "bang", and the hole opened a big hole by itself, and the water inside rushed out instantly, flooding the trail outside.

Fortunately, the outside is not a dead end, and the water is flowing towards my path. I put the shovel between the two paths, then grabbed the handle in the middle, and tried to hang my body in mid-air, so as not to let the water wash away. I cursed in my heart, but wait After calming down, he was surprised to find that a long-lost light shot into the hole where the water came out.

There are exits outside.It means that this is not an underground river, so is it?

As the amount of water flowing out of the hole became less and less, my guess was confirmed. I couldn't wait to jump down, and used a shovel to enlarge the hole to a size that could allow people to drill in. First, I carefully put my head in to explore. Fan, it turned out that there was a huge pool outside. I drained all the accumulated water just now, and now only a thick layer of mud and rotting leaves remained at the bottom of the pool.

I got used to the light for a while, then looked up, there seemed to be a dense tree above the pool, the leaves covered the light of the sun, but fortunately it was daytime, so I could see the things around me at a glance. It has been a long time since I have seen such luxuriant trees. It seems that if it has not gone out of the desert area, it has entered the oasis in the hinterland of the desert-Tamutuo.

I don't dare to jump to conclusions now, and I always feel that these two possibilities are a bit too incredible.

Then I drilled out,

The silt inside is very deep, and I don’t know how many years it has been accumulated. As soon as I jumped in, I sank to my knees. There are some rotten leaves attached to the surface of the silt, which emits a strange smell, but I don’t have time to pay attention to these now. He looked around to find a way.

The water pool is about two or three meters long and irregular in shape. It is actually a deep pit and cannot be used visually. However, it would be a miracle to have such a large water reservoir in the desert.

I looked at the inner walls around me. Needless to say, it was wet and slippery. Even if I wanted to climb up to the lowest gap, I would definitely not be able to climb up with bare hands. has been illuminated.

I rummaged through the bag, but there was nothing to take advantage of, and then thought of the simplest way. I used a shovel to hit a lot of footholds on the wall, and then tried to climb, and found that the method is completely feasible. Thanks to the intensive training in the past year, I was surprised that my arm strength is so amazing, and it didn't take much effort to climb up.

When I climbed up to the gap and took a look, I couldn't help being shocked. It turned out that there was a large pool on the top. It seemed that this was a ladder-style reservoir group. The top was full, and it flowed from the gap to the lower pool. Layer by layer, no wonder I feel that the trees above my head are still some distance away from me.

After I climbed up, I carefully observed that there was nothing scary in the pool and jumped in. Although I came back from Yunnan, I went to practice swimming hard, but the water was very deep, warm and extremely low at this time, so I couldn’t help but swim. I shivered, always afraid that something would come out and attack me if I didn't pay attention, and then I didn't dare to delay for a moment. I desperately found the gap in the previous pool and climbed up. In this way, I swam for five full years. A pool, and then climbed up along a tree vine.

After climbing up, I found a slightly flat rock and collapsed on it, gasping for breath. It was not because the climbing process was so difficult, but because the inexplicable fear in my heart gave me so much pressure that I couldn’t eat. Zhizhi stuffed some dry food into his mouth, found some dry firewood and set up a fire, and after recovering a little, he began to look at the surrounding environment.

This... is this a forest?
