[Grave Raiders Notes bg] Lost Notes 2: Heavy Fate

"What... does this mean?" Zhang Yuetong asked looking at the pattern on the paper.

Nan Xing spread the four pictures flat on a piece of dry ground, and shook his head: "It's not clear yet. However, this unicorn is very similar to Zhang's unicorn tattoo, and many parts are even completely the same."

Nan Xing tapped several places on the paper, "These patterns, even though the lines are very complicated, are exactly the same."

"This is so strange. The Zhang family's unicorn tattoo has a unique interpretation method. If you don't know this method, even if you have seen this tattoo, you will not be able to write it down." Zhang Haicheng paused for a while, with a suspicious look in his eyes , then turned around and asked Nan Xing: "How do you know about this place? What is your purpose for coming here?"

Nan Xing glanced at him, not paying attention, and continued to recall the content of the unicorn tattoo while marking it on the paper with a pen.

"Zhang Nanxing, don't you have anything to explain?" Zhang Haicheng pressed the paper on the ground with his hands, "What is this place? What does it have to do with the Zhang family?"

Nan Xing's marking pen was blocked by Zhang Haicheng's hand, so he had to stop, looked at Zhang Haicheng and said calmly: "I don't know what this place is, and whether it has anything to do with the Zhang family. As for how I found out here, and The purpose of coming here is my own business and has nothing to do with you."

"It doesn't matter? You brought us here. We want to go down to this tomb with you. You should tell us the situation anyway."

"It was you who proposed to be with me. I have nothing to say about my affairs, but since I brought you with me, I will try my best to ensure that everyone can come out alive." Nan Xing said patiently, "What dangers will be encountered inside? It is still unknown whether there is an artifact that can be taken away as a token. If you have not entered yet, if you want to quit, there is still time. If you want to continue to go down with me, don't ask questions like just now."

"Nan Xing, although we proposed to be with you," Zhang Haiqing began to smooth things over, "However, in the face of the current situation, it is normal for Haicheng to be more cautious. After all, this place is really strange and tight at present, so we should know more about the situation. , we can have more confidence in our hearts.”

"Regardless of whether there is a bottom line or not, we have to go with Nan Xing." Zhang Yuetong took the lead in expressing his opinion. "Almost half of the time for the release has passed, and we have no chance to start from scratch. Otherwise, we will go back empty-handed, and we will definitely be killed." kicked out of the house."

Nan Xing glanced at Zhang Yuetong, then looked at the pattern covered by Zhang Haicheng's hand, "At present, only the pattern under your hand has not been checked, you can wait for me to analyze this picture, and then decide whether to continue to follow me Go down with Yuetong."

Zhang Haicheng and Zhang Haiqing glanced at each other, and after a moment of hesitation, Zhang Haicheng moved his hand away.

Nan Xing traced the details of the remaining unicorn tattoos according to his memory.

After tracing, the four of them got together to observe the two patterns on the paper.

I saw that the two patterns were highly overlapped, and there were only four differences.

"Why did you leave four places that are different? And the pattern is very simple." Zhang Haiqing said.

"Presumably, this difference is the key to deciphering the pattern." Zhang Haicheng's state changed as if he had changed his face, and he didn't even have the slightest embarrassment when he spoke to Nan Xing.

"If it's the key, why is it set up in such a simple place?" Zhang Yuetong wondered, "It's just one or two threads missing."

"What if you fill in the missing veins?" Nan Xing looked at the tree crown above his head, looking for the corresponding positions on the map.

"You mean..." Zhang Yuetong quickly realized Nan Xing's meaning, "Cut off the branches at those locations?"

"Well, try it." Nan Xing said, and climbed up the trunk of an ancient tree, grasping the grain of the trunk with his fingers, and quickly climbed to the crown of the tree like flying over the eaves and walls. Certainly.She drew the knife with her backhand, quickly cut off the branches and leaves according to her memory, and filled in the missing veins.

After that, he stepped on the branch and jumped to the next place to cut out the veins.

After replenishing the veins in the four places, Nan Xing jumped back to the ground.

The four of them held their breath and watched the movement around them.

After waiting for a few minutes, the expected sound of mechanism transmission did not come, and there seemed to be no changes in the surroundings.

"It seems that we have to find another way." Zhang Haiqing picked up the backpack on the ground and started to walk back, "Maybe we can go back and see if there are any clues in Ye Weiqing's tomb."

"Wait a little longer." Nan Xing said to Zhang Haiqing.

"If there is a mechanism, it should have been activated a long time ago. Either there is no mechanism here at all, and this unicorn is just a coincidence. You also said that tree crown shyness is a natural phenomenon. Or, we have not found the right way to open the mechanism. Whether it is Either way, it's a waste of time for us to wait any longer."

As Zhang Haiqing said, she swung a knife and chopped off a tree root about the thickness of a fist that was drilled out of the soil at her feet.

"Wait." Nan Xing held Zhang Haiqing back, but his eyes were fixed on the tree root that Zhang Haiqing had just cut off.

"I told you to wait..."

"The sap from this tree root has turned red." Nan Xing took out a piece of air-dried beef from his bag and threw it on the red sap an inch away from Zhang Haiqing's feet. riddled with sores. "This red juice is corrosive. If you took a step forward just now, as long as you get a little on your feet, you will be disabled."

Then, Nan Xing picked up another root from the ground, "This is another root from the tree I cut off when I opened the road just now, and the sap is a normal color."

"There's something wrong with this tree." Zhang Haicheng said and jumped to the tree where the root belonged, and began to search for it with his fingers on the trunk.

Nan Xing, Zhang Yuetong, and Zhang Haiqing also walked towards the tree.

At this moment, I saw Zhang Haicheng's figure move, and disappeared from the sight of the three of them in the next instant.

Without any action of falling or being pulled into any mechanism, it just disappeared out of thin air in front of them, as if invisible.

"Haicheng!" Zhang Haiqing rushed to the position where Zhang Haicheng was standing just now, there was nothing left except Zhang Haicheng's footprints and a piece of clothes hanging on the bark.

Zhang Haiqing swung the knife in her hand and was about to split the tree trunk. Nan Xing grabbed her wrist and pressed her fingers against her joints suddenly. Her knife lost force and fell. Nan Xing kicked away: "Calm down, you are like this Can't save him."

"Let me go!" Zhang Haiqing's eyes were red, and she tried to buckle her grasped wrist.

"We have to find the entrance before we can save him." Nan Xing let go of Zhang Haiqing, "The sap of this tree turned red, indicating that the environment underneath has changed, and the roots of this tree are just right touch."

"So, can we go down by digging along the roots of the tree?" Zhang Yuetong beside him also began to think.

"You won't be able to dig very deep. Once you reach the granite layer, there is nothing you can do." Zhang Haiqing was discouraged.

"There is another possibility that this tree passed through this thick granite layer." Nan Xing said suddenly.

Unbelievable expressions flashed across the faces of Zhang Yuetong and Zhang Haiqing. This granite is very hard, no matter how unnaturally the tree roots grow, it is impossible to pass through.

Nan Xing anticipated their reaction, so he didn't say anything more, and walked around the tree trunk to carefully examine the lines on it.

"Nan Xing, don't touch the tree trunk, just now Haicheng is..." Zhang Yuetong wanted to remind Nan Xing, but halfway through his words, he was stopped by the other party's gaze.

Right now there is no other better way, so Zhang Yuetong, Zhang Haiqing and Nan Xing also started to look for clues from this tree.

No one spoke anymore, and the three of them fell into a desperate atmosphere.

a long time.

"found it."

Nan Xing's voice was like the ray of light at dawn, very soft but clear and bright.

Zhang Haiqing immediately rushed to Nan Xing, and Zhang Yuetong also walked over quickly.

I saw Nan Xing squatting on the ground behind the tree trunk, saw Zhang Haiqing and Zhang Yuetong coming over, and signaled them to squat down to where he was just now.

The two approached, Nan Xing glanced at them, and then said: "I hope Zhang Haicheng can catch you."

Immediately afterwards, she raised her hand and pressed it suddenly on the tree trunk. Zhang Yuetong and Zhang Haiqing's eyes were instantly darkened, their feet were empty, and they fell rapidly.
