Tomb Raiders

Shen Liaobai followed his gaze, but didn't see any clues, so he looked back at the tomb passage that had been submerged in darkness, which was extraordinarily cold and quiet, and asked in confusion, "Why are we walking back again?"

Chu Yuyang remained silent, looking at the center of the water, where it was originally calm, but now there was a faint wave, swirling and rolling up the sediment at the bottom of the water, like a small whirlpool.He dipped his fingers in the water and could feel the fluctuations of the water, proving that it was not an illusion.

When did they circle back?Chu Yuyang didn't feel at all that the ghost baby was dead, and they didn't encounter any sudden situation afterwards. It is very likely that they were already going back when they were bewitched by hallucinations. OK.

The water flow touched by Chu Yuyang's fingertips became more and more rapid. He stood up abruptly, and said coldly: "Back back quickly, this place is not safe." The tomb passage at the place is no longer quiet at this time, and the sound of gravel falling to the ground can be heard intermittently.

Shen Liaobai was retreating with the crowd, when a sudden chill shot up from behind Shen Liaobai's head, he turned his head subconsciously, and saw a dense line of muddy hands standing up and down the tomb passage behind him, like human teeth, if they were Catch it, I'm afraid it will be chewed to the bone.

"Stop quickly." Shen Liaobai shouted hastily.

When everyone was called out by him, they naturally saw the row of muddy hands, stretching and chasing after them, and deep scratches were drawn on the ground.

"The ghosts linger." Hanzhang gritted his teeth, and shot out several crossbows, but only knocked out a few pieces of gravel on the clay hand.

The mud hands seemed to be more powerful than when they were in the water, and their color was also darker, showing a strange bright red. They stretched and retracted and climbed forward at an extremely fast speed.Chu Yuyang, who was the farthest away from the clay hands, quickly jumped in front of them, flipped the dragon scale in his hand, and cut off one of the clay hands, but saw the ground below tremble, and drilled out a thicker one. arm.

They seemed to no longer be afraid of the power of the dragon scales, they just stagnated for a while, and then rustled forward again.Chu Yuyang guarded Shen Liaobai, who was closest to the mud hand, behind him, and retreated while fighting. There was no way to retreat to the bank of the river.

Hanzhang pulled out the rope, wrapped it around the iron chain hanging on the stone wall, and tried to climb to the other end along the iron chain. Who would have thought that he just pulled hard, and the square bottle that originally held the ghost baby was torn open by him, and the dark inside was The blood was poured into the river, dyeing the water bright red, and the disgusting blood spread in the narrow tomb passage.

Without the attachment of the square bottle, the iron chain also fell and fell into the water.Xu Shi smelled the blood, and the attack of the clay hand became more and more violent. In the water behind him, the originally small vortex suddenly increased, and the water level began to slowly drop.

Chu Yuyang and the others were struggling to resist, Shen Liaobai heard his heavy breathing, he was holding the dragon scale, the place on the forearm pierced by the ghost baby was only hastily bandaged, and now a little dirty blood oozes out.

Shen Liaobai felt a little guilty. At that time, he was patronizing himself, but he forgot that Chu Yuyang was also injured, and he didn't deal with it properly afterwards. I don't know if it was serious.

"Hanzhang, Wenhao, you should resist first." Chu Yuyang took out the map in his waist pocket, looked at it carefully, then turned to look at the blood-stained river, finally gritted his teeth, and said: " Get in the water, quick."

The river was already stinking, Shen Liaobai held his breath, and went down first, the sand at the bottom of the river was soft, and he would sink into it from time to time, which reminded him of the swamp outside, so he immediately quickened his pace to go to the opposite side.The eddy in the water was getting bigger and bigger, coupled with the soft sand, he was almost dragged into the middle of the river by the direction of the river.

Although the river was only up to his waist at this time, he was hit by the fierce current and couldn't stand up. His feet sank into the mud a little bit, and a hand was already on his knee. Shen Liaobai struggled, and the muddy hand pulled him into the river instantly, and the river water and mud poured into his nose and mouth.

Shen Liaobai was struggling to get his head out of the muddy water, when his legs that were held by muddy hands suddenly loosened, and the mud and sewage around his body dispersed, giving Shen Liaobai finally a chance to breathe, but with At the same time, the feeling of weightlessness also followed. It turned out that there was a huge cave under the water flow, and the bottom of the cave was a wide underground river.

Shen Liaobai was swept down by the water and mud. The huge impact made him think that all the bones in his body were about to be broken. Fortunately, the current of the river below was relatively gentle. Shen Liaobai swam from the river to On the shore, half lying down and panting.

After he fell, the other four people also fell one after another, and now they are resting on the shore with him.The bonfire at the waist seemed not afraid of water. Shen Liaobai lifted the bonfire, and he could see a big hole above his head, and water and sand fell down the river along the hole.The hole was very high, and there were no attachments around, so it was impossible for them to go up. From this point of view, if they couldn't find another exit, they would be trapped here to death.

The place where they fell was a natural cave, with no traces of man-made digging, and it was very wide.The ground under his feet was probably smooth due to the erosion of the water. The cave wall felt cold and damp, with a stream of water vapor, and a thick layer of moss grew in some places.

"Let's get out of here first." Shen Liaobai propped himself up and said, "I don't know if the water stream above will continue to collapse."

So everyone ignored the physical pain and walked out into the depths of the cave together.If this cave is properly rested, its width may be comparable to any luxurious palace. After walking for a quarter of an hour, the cave is getting wider and wider, and there is no end in sight.On the contrary, the water vapor here was not so thick, and everyone found a clean place to rest. Although they were exhausted and their clothes were wet, they were very embarrassed, but fortunately, no one was injured.

"Your hand," Shen Liaobai pointed to Chu Qianyang's forearm, and said, "Just apply some medicine."

Chu Yuyang seemed to have just discovered the injury on his hand, frowned, and tore off the sleeve in one piece, exposing the injured skin, which was scorched black and rotten, with several round holes on it, and the flesh and blood inside had already rotted .

Wen Hao took out the medicine that he carried with him, and it was not wet by the river because it was wrapped in kraft paper. He first wrapped gauze around his finger, then made a cross-shaped cut on Chu Yuyang's forearm, and squeezed it hard. Dirty blood squeezed out.

Chu Yuyang gritted his teeth tightly, his brows furrowed because of the pain.

Shen Liaobai blamed himself, but he couldn't do anything, so he had to find some topics to chat with Chu Yuyang, distracting his attention and maybe the pain would not be so obvious.

"Chu Qianyang, just now did you see that there is such a cave under the water?"

Chu Yuyang nodded and said: "I originally planned to go back the same way. I didn't want to be blocked by muddy hands. I was in a dilemma. At that time, I remembered that there seemed to be a mark in the middle of this river on the map, so I planned to take a risk."

Shen Liaobai looked around the entire cave, and said: "It seems that we can't go up, I don't know if there is another way out here."

Regarding this, Chu Yuyang didn't seem to be worried, "Since Shen Yingqing marked the location on purpose, it is very likely that he came in here, and the map was sent by him, which means that he went out from here, so we don't have to worry about finding a way out. .”

"I don't know what happened to Yingqing..." Shen Liaobai was very worried when he thought of his missing younger brother, and finally thought of Chu Yuyang's father, presumably Chu Yuyang was also worried about his relatives.

He pretended to glance at Chu Yuyang inadvertently, but saw Chu Yuyang's expression as usual and said: "It will be fine." His tone was blunt, and he didn't know whether he was comforting Shen Liaobai or himself.

It wasn't until the blood flowing from Chu Yuyang's forearm turned red that his brows finally eased. Wen Hao applied medicine to him and carefully bandaged it up.

"Master Shen," Hanzhang said, "you and Dalang will rest here first, and I will go to the front to check with you. If you have something to do, just shout loudly, and we will not go far."

"Be careful." Shen Liaobai instructed.

Hanzhang originally wanted to take Song Qiancheng with him, but Song Qiancheng put on a sad face and looked like a broom star, and it was a burden to carry him, so he simply left him there to accompany Shen Liaobai, turned around and walked with Wen Hao to the depths of the cave. The air in the place is much drier, the cave is unobstructed, there are no traps or traps, and there is no clue.

"Hanzhang, have you noticed that Dalang treats Mrs. Shen?" asked Hao after a pause, "something special?"

Hearing what he said, Hanzhang thought about it seriously, nodded and said: "It's a bit, it seems." He considered the adjective, and added: "It seems to be softer."

Wen Hao sighed softly, and said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, we have brought people down to the ground before, Dalang has never taken care of people's life and death, only Master Shen let Dalang save him, and almost gave up his own life .”

Hanzhang said disapprovingly, "Dalang's heart is not made of rock, so there will inevitably be times when his heart softens. Even if I see that Song Qiancheng who is in the way is about to die in front of me, I can't bear to help him."

Wen Hao smiled and said: "You are at best a knife-mouthed bean curd heart, but Da Lang is different. He acts vigorously and resolutely, and sometimes makes people feel that he is cold-blooded and ruthless. If someone gets in the way, it is lucky not to kill him. How can you save him? Song Qiancheng Anyway, he is the man of King Ding, so what background does Shen Liaobai have that makes Dalang treat him in a special way, taking care of him personally and ordering me to take medicine? Besides, I saw it before..." At this point , Wen Hao hesitated for a moment, but changed his mind, "In short, Da Lang is too special to Mrs. Shen."

Hanzhang was stunned, "What do you mean, Dalang told Shen Liaobai..."

Wen Hao waved his hand and interrupted his next words, "You and I are servants, it is beyond the norm to discuss the master's private affairs, so let's stop here."

Hanzhang also learned how to ask Hao and sighed softly, "When we are alone, you don't always talk about Dalang, and you don't care about whether I am injured. Hey, I always feel a little pain in my back. I was scratched by the mud hand, why don't you help me look at it."

Wen Hao looked at his grinning appearance, glared at him displeasedly, and then walked ahead, only the sound of their footsteps echoed in the cave, the widened road was somewhat narrowed here, and the distance between the stone walls on both sides It shrunk a lot, and three forked roads appeared in the place where the blaze could be seen in front.
