Tomb Raiders

There was a tight pain in his chest, and the tattoo on his shoulder blades began to feel hot, causing Shen Liaobai to frown tightly. He opened his eyes with difficulty, only to feel pain all over his body, and a few drops of water flowed into the corners of his eyes along the brow bone. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the scene in front of him became clear, and the first thing he saw was Chu Yuyang who was looking down at him.

Shen Liaobai was startled, Chu Yuyang reached out and touched his cheek, "Are you awake?"

The warm touch came from the skin, Shen Liaobai couldn't speak for some reason, he just stretched his eyebrows, raised his hand to hold Chu Yuyang's hand on his cheek.

Chu Yuyang approached him and took a closer look. Shen Liaobai's expression was exhausted, there was a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and his body temperature was abnormally low, but his face was burning red, and even the corners of his eyes were slightly glowing. Red, bringing a layer of sickly brilliance to the usually gentle and peaceful facial features.

"Essence and blood are consumed, evil wind enters the body...how is your tattoo?" Chu Yuyang clasped Shen Liaobai's weak fingers firmly with his backhand, and asked softly.

Shen Liaobai sat up straight with difficulty, his voice was breathless, he had to slow down, and then whispered: "It's very hot, it seems to be burning."

Chu Yuyang unbuttoned his clothes, and the exposed skin had a layer of fine pimples due to the cold, which was a little bluish white, but the tattoo on the shoulder blades was so gorgeous that even that layer of camouflage could not be concealed. The red color was faintly flowing, Chu Yuyang carefully soaked the edge of the camouflage with water, and peeled it off, only to see that the tattoo on the lower head was extremely gorgeous under the skin as white as porcelain, the Tang red flowers bloomed vigorously, and the slender leaves were like The long and slender sword surrounded the flowers in a guarding posture.

Chu Yuyang gently stroked, and as soon as Shen Liaobai touched him, he couldn't help but groaned, his face flushed more and more obvious, Chu Yuyang didn't dare to touch it again, so he had to carefully cover up his collar loosely, and said in a low voice : "You have fallen into hallucinations, but if it is just like this, the reaction of the tattoo will not be so great. It seems that something is threatening your life. This tattoo has been 'enraged'."

Shen Liaobai took a breath and said, "But I didn't feel any strange tattoos in the hallucination."

Chu Jianyang frowned when he heard the words. At this moment, the two of them were still in the tomb passage, the dim light was not far above their heads, and the lamp holder cast a distorted shadow under the candlelight. In the silence, except for Shen Liao Bai couldn't bear to breathe, and there was no other movement.

However, the crease between Chu Yuyang's eyebrows became deeper and deeper. He grabbed Shen Liaobai's waist and pulled his collar away again. Just now, he only paid attention to Shen Liaobai's tattooed left shoulder, and did not check the place beside it. , Observing again at this time, Chu Yuyang finally discovered that Shen Liao's white skin turned blue not because of lack of Qi and blood, too cold, but because something had entered his body.

That piece of blue color is not obvious, and the range is not large, and it seems to be afraid of the tattoo, so it only gathers on the right side, while on the left side of the body, the skin color is not different.

Pulling down the clothes on the right shoulder a little, Chu Yuyang pressed gently on Shen Liaobai's skin with his fingertips, rubbing all the way to the back of his neck, then took out the blade, smeared the blade with strong wine, and placed it on the back of Shen Liaobai's neck There was an opening in the wound, and only light red blood flowed out from the wound, slowly flowing down the line of the back. If you look carefully, you can see something wriggling slightly under the wound.

Chu Yuyang whispered in Shen Liaobai's ear, "If it hurts too much, bite me."

Before Shen Liaobai understood what he meant, he felt a sharp pain from the back of his neck. He could feel something long and thin being slowly pulled out by Chu Yuyang from the wound. That strange tingling feeling It made his eyes almost pitch black, and sweat rolled down his cheeks in succession.

This feeling seemed to last for a very short time, and it seemed to be infinitely elongated. It was not until the sweat flowed into the eyes that there was a slight sting, and Shen Liaobai groaned and recovered from the almost comatose state.

His vision was blurred by sweat, and he could only see Chu Yuyang's profound facial features close at hand, his amber eyes were full of worry, he bit his lip hard, forced himself to wake up, and asked with difficulty: " What it is?"

Chu Yuyang helped him wipe off the cold sweat with his thumb, looked at the pale man in his arms, couldn't help but hug him a little tighter, kissed Shen Liaobai's forehead comfortingly, and said: "I never I haven't seen it, but it seems to be a parasitic plant, and I have nailed it to the lamp with a blade and burned it."

Shen Liaobai's eyes were still a little dark, he vaguely felt the soft touch on his forehead, but he had no strength to think about what it was, but his breathing gradually stabilized.

Chu Yuyang took out Xuezhu Dan from his waist pocket and fed it to Shen Liaobai. Shen Liaobai rested for a while. When the thing was taken out of Shen Liaobai's body, he became quiet and the burning sensation gradually disappeared.

Shen Liaobai took the water bag Chu Yuyang handed over, drank a couple of sips, and asked, "What happened?"

Chu Yuyang's eyes fell on the wall covered by plant roots on the opposite side of the tomb passage, and the occasional color of the murals made him slightly sullen, "I was careless. In the general king's tomb, it is indeed possible that such a precious shark lantern Add psychedelic drugs, but instead of merman lamps, here are these murals."

Shen Liaobai then looked over and said, "So, is there a problem with the materials used to draw the murals?"

Chu Yuyang nodded, "The effect is very strong, I'm afraid not only the effect of the medicine, but also the content of the mural itself is very problematic."

Shen Liaobai remembered what he saw in the hallucination, and said in a low voice: "I also saw Wen Hao, but thinking about it this way, it should also be an illusion. By the way, what about Wen Hao and them?"

Chu Yuyang said: "I was also recruited. When I woke up from the hallucination, there was no one around. I walked along the tomb for a while before I saw you. I think it was because of hallucinations that I acted because of hallucinations. Lost."

Shen Liaobai thought about it carefully, and said: "Besides the mural, there are other dangers in this tomb passage and the coffin on the high platform just now." He told Chu Yuyang what he saw in the hallucination. Yang used his fingertips to twirl the ashes of the plants that had just been burned by the candle, and said: "If this is true, then those embroidered women should be buried with them. After the king of Nanyue poisoned them to death, they died in their bodies. A parasitic plant was put in and treated, not only for burial, but also to prevent grave robbers."

Shen Liaobai thought of Xi'er's deep dimples at that time, and suddenly shuddered, and said in a low voice: "We must find them as soon as possible, those plants suck human flesh, although the speed is very slow, if we don't deal with it in time, I am afraid that we will die with those people." Like an embroidered girl, she has become a skin."

Chu Yuyang shook his hand to confirm that there was nothing wrong, then he pulled Shen Liaobai up from the ground, and the two walked deeper along the tomb path together.

Under the roots on both sides of the tomb passage, the bright colors of the murals are really eye-catching, and it is inevitable to be drawn into the illusion again. Shen Liaobai closed his eyes slightly, and could only see the blurred back of Chu Yuyang in front of him. Chu Yuyang noticed With his movements, he was pulled back again, and for a while, only the footsteps of the two could be heard in the entire tomb passage.

Not long after walking, he saw Qin Zhaonan who was bandaging his own wound on the side of the tomb passage. He used a dagger to cut a deep gash at the root of his ear, and blood was gurgling at this moment.

Qin Zhaonan raised his face to see them, he was relieved immediately, and said, "Is there any medicine to stop the bleeding? This ghost thing seems to be able to secrete a liquid to prevent the wound from healing immediately."

Chu Yuyang threw a small jar of ointment to him and asked, "Are you alone?"

Qin Zhaonan nodded. After treating the wound, he stood up, turned his body sideways, and said, "There are not many things in my body, but they are as thin as silk thread, so it is difficult to deal with. Do you know what it is?"

Chu Yuyang didn't say anything, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly made a silent gesture.

Qin Zhaonan stopped straightening his clothes, frowned, and slowly raised his head.

At this time, the position of the three of them was just at the edge of the range illuminated by the lights. Although it was only for a moment, Qin Zhaonan still saw a pale human face flash past in the dim place where the flames could not reach.

"Tsk." Qin Zhaonan said softly, "Something is troublesome."

Chu Yuyang remained calm and held Shen Liaobai's hand without letting go. There were two sharp blades between his other fingers at some point. He stood quietly for a while, and with a slight movement of his wrist, the blades shot out. It came out, and with an upward "ding", it nailed into the top of the tomb passage.

Shen Liaobai vaguely heard a sound like a scream. He looked up and saw something struggling on the edge of the light on the top of the tomb passage. Pulling forward, with a sound like a ripping silk, there was a rustling sound in the darkness, and when Chu Yuyang retracted the blade, a thin long object fell from the top of the tomb.

Most of the object was hidden in the darkness where the light could not illuminate, Shen Liaobai could only see a small part, "This is..."

"Human skin." Chu Yuyang said, his expression was very calm, but there was a faint look of disgust in his amber eyes, but Qin Zhaonan walked over in a very novel way, picked up the thing, "It's so complete... ...She still looks like a young girl, what a waste."

Chu Yuyang said coldly: "Let me remind you, this human skin is filled with those hair-like plants."

Qin Zhaonan was startled, let go of his hand, and the human skin fell to the ground. His sunken cheek was facing the three of them. Shen Liaobai could even see the slender eyelashes under his closed eyes against the bloodless and pale as paper. The skin looked very strange and pitiful.

"What's going on here!" Qin Zhaonan checked his hands carefully to make sure that there were no such things, and then asked a little unhappy.

Chu Yuyang looked at the bright and dark tomb passages behind him, "Presumably, most of those 'girls' are 'awake' by now."
