Tomb Raiders

Chapter 49 The Ferocious Bat

Chu Yuyang stood up and went to look at the high platform that Qin Zhaonan inspected. There was no light on the high place, and he could only see the blurred outline of the high platform. Liao Bai shared his conjecture with Qin Zhaonan, but omitted the last scene that Qin Zhaonan most wanted to hear.

Qin Zhaonan knelt down in front of the tree with a frown, and took a photo with the already dim leaves of the cave grass. Sure enough, as Chu Yuyang said, he was holding the fan and wanted to touch the gap in the tree trunk, but was stopped by Shen Liaobai. Shen Liaobai said solemnly: "Until the situation is clear, Qin Jun should not touch it casually."

Shen Liaobai's expression changed from his previous indifferent and gentle expression, and he was surprisingly nervous. At least Qin Zhaonan had never seen such an abnormal appearance of Shen Liaobai. At the time of the grave, he still had some objections, but after seeing Shen Liaobai's calm appearance when encountering troubles, he admired Shen Liaobai a little bit.

Qin Zhaonan withdrew his hand awkwardly, touched his chin and said, "Let's assume that this tree is really the fairy tree that the grandfather said, and those who touch it will be punished, but you, Chu Yuyang, and even Hanzhang Wenhao are also afraid of it." Touched, don't you all live well?"

"No, there is one more person." Shen Liaobai murmured.

"Who?" Qin Zhaonan asked suspiciously.

"Song Qiancheng," Shen Liaobai said with a pale face, putting his hands in his sleeves as if feeling cold, "he only suffered a little skin trauma before entering the main tomb. It took him no more than half an hour at most. At that time, Chu Yuyang was entangled with Zhang Jiao, and he was not attacked. I also checked his body when I helped him sit by the wall, and there was no wound visible to the naked eye. It seems that in this half an hour, he suddenly became weak and weak, even struggling to speak, and finally even breathing became weak."

Qin Zhaonan had heard of Song Qiancheng, and he seemed to be one of King Ding's most trusted advisers. After he died in the tomb, King Ding lashed out at Chu Yuyang. Wang's conceited nature, he had to lock up Chu Yuyang, but after two days, King Ding acted as if nothing had happened, not only released Chu Yuyang, but also rewarded him with many things.

Qin Zhaonan didn't ask Chu Yuyang about the cause of Song Qiancheng's death at that time, but now he heard Shen Liaobai say that it was such a bizarre way of death, he was silent for a while and said: "Everything in the tomb is mysterious and unpredictable, maybe it is some kind of poison Song Qiancheng came into contact with before. , and then happened to be poisoned and died in the main tomb."

Chu Yuyang nodded, and then said: "Among us, Wen Hao is the most proficient in art. At that time, Hanzhang was seriously injured. Wen Hao was busy taking care of him, so he naturally ignored Song Qiancheng, and have you forgotten? After the agency got down to the real tomb, Song Qiancheng and we got lost for at least two or three hours, maybe he was poisoned at that time."

What they both said made sense. Shen Liaobai was silent for a while, his expression didn't improve much, but he still forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper just now."

"It's okay," Qin Zhaonan waved his hand and said, "You are worried about your relatives, and you have experienced so many things in the past few days, so it is understandable for you to be nervous."

Chu Yuyang calmly held Shen Liaobai's slightly curled fingers, and said: "Well, you are already much better than Qin Zhaonan. When Qin Zhaonan went down to the tomb for the first time, he was chased by a poisonous corpse and jumped off. He went to the river, thinking that he could avoid the attack of the poisonous corpse, but his feet were entangled in water plants, and he almost drowned."

Qin Zhaonan blushed immediately, and shouted: "Hey Chu Yuyang, I asked if you can stop talking about my scandal when I am rarely serious."

Shen Liaobai was completely amused, he stabilized his mind and said: "Let's go down first, Hanzhang should be in a hurry."

Wenhao leaned against the high platform and closed his eyes to rest, while Hanzhang was feeling bored, seeing them coming down, he asked, "What's up there?"

"The two trees," Shen Liaobai said, "are the same as the branches we have seen in the mansion. They are scorched black trees."

"Really?" Hanzhang seemed to be curious about this, and said, "I'll go up and have a look."

Without waiting for Chu Jianyang's consent, Hanzhang jumped up to the steps in twos and threes, and when he got on the high platform, his whole body was engulfed by darkness.

"These lines," Chu Yuyang pointed to the lines carved on the high platform, and said, "Doesn't it seem like the common dark room lines?"

These lines are at the place where they are looking at the high platform. The fine lines twist and twist all the way to the top of the high platform. Even if Chu Yuyang has raised the canopy, he can only see a very short part.

Shen Liaobai felt a little familiar. He looked at it for a while and suddenly remembered where he had seen it before, "On Zhang Jiao's wooden coffin, there are also similar patterns engraved."

At that time, because the outer stone coffin door was too small, only Shen Liaobai could climb in, so only Shen Liaobai saw Zhang Jiao's wooden coffin, but he didn't care about the lines on the coffin at all, just regarded it as an ordinary He turned around, looked at another high platform behind him, and suddenly realized: "I have seen an altar in Zhang Jiao's stone coffin before, and these two high platforms are similar to that altar. It is exactly the same, but the scale is much larger than that of the altar. There is a strip-shaped groove in the middle of the altar. At that time, I thought that the groove might be used to place the branches that Yingqing gave me. Now I think about it. , probably so."

Altar?Chu Yuyang frowned. He walked to the center of the tomb and stood still. The two high platforms faced each other symmetrically. There were strange patterns painted on them, and they didn't know what they were used for yet.

"It must not be a coincidence." Chu Yuyang said: "This tree has special meaning to both Zhang Jiao and Zhao Tuo. If these two high platforms are altars, Zhao Tuo must hope that he can still be blessed after death. , then this place must not be far from the main tomb."

"The question is, what can the two scorched trees protect him from?" Wen Hao asked, his condition was gradually recovering from his voice.

His problem is that everyone wants to know but can't figure it out. Chu Yuyang looked at the corridor at the other end of the tomb and said, "No matter what it is, let's go to the back first and then talk about it."

"Hanzhang!" Qin Zhaonan shouted towards the top of the high platform: "Come down quickly, we have to move on."

There was no response from above, a faint fishy smell came from above, Shen Liaobai was stunned, and said: "There is blood."

Chu Yuyang's expression froze, and he quickly ran up the high platform. Shen Liaobai also wanted to go up, but was stopped by Qin Zhaonan. Qin Zhaonan said: "The space above is narrow, if there is a fight, it will be impossible to use it if there are too many people."

Although Shen Liaobai was anxious, he could only stay below and wait for the news from Chu Yuyang. The smell of blood became heavier and heavier, and even Qin Zhaonan noticed it. The light was even a bit dazzling. At that moment, he saw a stream of bright red blood flow down from the top of the altar, spread out along the side branches in the upper section, and then quickly follow the lines down, the bright red painted the lines pattern - a huge tree with roots and branches.

I don't know if it's the red eyes, or the whole altar seems to be full of blood, even the white jade railings are faintly glowing red. Shen Liaobai feels a little flustered. Every time he feels flustered, there must be tattoos Because of this, he raised his head and shouted, "Chu Yuyang, what's the matter?"

"I've already bandaged his wound," Chu Yuyang poked his head out and said, "I'll bring him down immediately."

However, Shen Liaobai's heart was tightly suspended. He clearly saw two faint green lights on the top of the dark tomb, and then the green light moved down, sinking in the light as bright as day. Bai saw a huge bat flying towards Chu Yuyang, "Chu Yuyang, be careful!"

Although Chu Yuyang didn't see what was behind him, he could infer the huge size of the thing that hit him just by the strong wind. He bent down and almost stuck to the ground, and the bat could barely rub against him. flew over the head.When the bat flew back again, he had already moved the thin blade in his sleeve and struck it out quickly, making a big cut in the bat's wing. Its current location can still be judged by its barking.

When Qin Zhaonan helped Hanzhang down from the stairs, Hanzhang had woken up from the coma and was able to walk by himself.

The screams of the bats came to an abrupt end after a brief stop, and a faint green light lit up in the dark, followed by the sound of violent wings beating.

Shen Liaobai looked behind him, only to see a large mass of black bats rushing towards them.

"Go to another tomb passage." Chu Qianyang shouted.

A group of people hurried into the tomb passage in front, and the bats chased after them, until Shen Liaobai almost felt out of breath, the tomb passage in front suddenly disappeared, replaced by a wide space, in which there was a deep lake, Everyone didn't care much, and jumped into the river one after another. The bats were still relentless, and swooped down from time to time, trying to hook them out of the lake with their sharp claws.

In order not to be hurt by bats, Shen Liaobai had no choice but to dive down to a lower position, and then hold the protruding stones on the wall to prevent himself from floating up. Risk of scratches.

It was a long time before the bats left. A group of people crawled out of the lake, their hands and feet were heavy, and they fell to the ground exhausted.

After breathing a little, Qin Zhaonan wiped the drops of water on his forehead and said, "Nowadays, bats are mostly hibernating, as long as you don't disturb them, they are generally not very aggressive, Hanzhang, what did you do there just now? "

The wound on Hanzhang's shoulder was still oozing blood. He gritted his teeth and said, "I just squatted down and looked at the tree, and then I was attacked by bats and fell into a coma."

Qin Zhaonan took off his coat and wrung out the water, saying: "Why are you so unlucky, one of our wounded hasn't recovered yet, you were injured again."

Hanzhang pursed his lips, and said: "This time Hanzhang was reckless, please punish him by Dalang."

Chu Yuyang waved his hand, without looking angry, "Accidents are inevitable, let Wenhao treat your wounds, if the thing is poisonous, it will be troublesome."

In a blink of an eye, he saw Shen Liaobai still kneeling in front of the lake, so he walked up to him, looked at the reflection on the lake with him, and asked, "Why?"

Shen Liaobai didn't respond, but took a sip of the lake water and said, "Sweet."
