Tomb Raiders

Chapter 57 The Enemy Attacks

The place where they are now is dimly lit, and the soil they are stepping on is so wet and soft that it can be called muddy. Hanzhang frowned, and raised his foot to take a look, only to see a large piece of clay on the sole of the boot, mixed with bits and pieces of bone scum.

Qin Zhaonan squatted down, but he didn't think it was dirty, he used a fan to scrape the soil, picked up a piece of broken bone and looked at it, said: "It's not human."

Chu Yuyang held up the canopy, the light of the canopy was not as bright as it was for some reason, and the range it could illuminate was also reduced a lot, but the only thing that was certain was that it was much bigger than they imagined. In the lobby of the time, there is more than enough to drink.

Wen Hao raised his head and looked up, the light became dimmer as he went up, and finally disappeared in the darkness, unable to see the top, he frowned, "I don't know if there is an exit here."

"Let's go first, I'm afraid the thing on the top will chase after the strange fish after eating it." Qin Zhaonan shook the fan to shake off the dirt on it, a little impatiently said.

Shen Liaobai woke up again because of the scorching heat of the tattoos. At this time, he felt very bad. Apart from the tattoos, the parts around his body were cold and painful. He could hardly restrain his groans and groans when he moved slightly, and his mouth was full of rust. , so that it was difficult for him to breathe.

He quietly half-lyed and half-sit against the wall, and rested for a while, then raised his hand, pulled down his collar a little, and checked the condition of the tattoo by the light of the fire.

The tattoo was much better than he imagined, perhaps because the host's physical condition was really bad, the tattoo did not continue to extend, although the color was still bright, it was a little duller than before, Shen Liaobai lightly touched the spot His skin was still slightly hot, but since he woke up, the burning sensation has quickly subsided, and now he doesn't feel anything anymore.

It seems that the trouble is the place where Ao Yin was injured. When he was hit by the monster, even though he curled up subconsciously, his back and waist and abdomen were still in pain. It doesn't seem to have injured any bones or muscles, but the inner clothes are wet a lot, and the skin may have been scratched.

Shen Liaobai drank a few sips of water, ate a piece of pancake, rested for a while, and then stood up with difficulty leaning on the wall. He knew in his heart that Aoyin would definitely come back again. At this time, he had to figure out what the structure was here. It won't be so embarrassing later on.

Leaning on the wall and walking forward slowly, the burial pit he is now in is still as tragic as the ones he saw before, but it is a little less weird.It seems that there are all civilians here, wearing black clothes as they first saw, but there are no masks on their faces, and they are not neatly placed upright, making the bones in this sacrificial pit very messy, and Shen Liaobai's vision is somewhat blurred, often Will trip over corpses.

He only felt very cold at this moment. Apart from the blood loss, he thought it was buried deep in the ground, and it was so damp. It must be colder than the outside. His big coat had been lost when he entered the tomb, and now his teeth were frozen. Trembling slightly, the scenery in front of her was also a little shaken.

Shen Liaobai took a deep breath and closed his eyes forcefully. He thought of Chu Yuyang who was sitting opposite him on the Taiji diagram.

He thought of his amber eyes, although his face was still calm, even expressionless as before, but his eyes were like melting amber, flowing deep and shallow as he changed his emotions, and himself, just Like a flying insect stuck to pine resin, no matter how hard you try to struggle, you can only indulge in it in the end.

Shen Liaobai stopped to rest for a while, and unconsciously said softly: "If that's the case... Actually, it's not bad."

As soon as the words were spoken, his originally pale face turned a little bloody. Shen Liaobai was stunned, touched his forehead, it was cold, he sighed softly, searched in his waist pocket for a while, took out A snow-white porcelain vase came, this was the Snow Vermilion Pill that Chu Yuyang gave him in the tomb passage just in case, there was only one in it, Shen Liaobai didn't want to use it at first, but if he didn't do something at this time, he might just leave In less than two steps, he was about to get down.

After swallowing Xuezhu Dan with Liquan water, Shen Liaobai stood and rested for a while, the effect of Xuezhu Dan gradually came into play, his vision became a little clearer, his hands and feet had some strength, so he gritted his teeth and climbed up to the sacrificial hall. The narrow passage above the pit.

Standing on the narrow road, Shen Liaobai stopped for a while, and looked around for a while. The scale of the sacrificial pits was very large. He could see about a dozen large and small ones, and the ones inside were still buried in the darkness. He couldn't see clearly, the gloomy place revealed a dangerous message, Shen Liaobai subconsciously stayed away from it.

He recalled the direction in which Ao Yin left, and then walked towards that direction with one deep kick and one shallow kick.

Chu Yuyang and the others walked inward, and after walking dozens of steps, they found the sacrificial pit. The sacrificial pit was about twenty feet square, and it didn't look that big.

Qin Zhaonan took a look inside and said: "Sure enough, they are livestock. They are piled full. It's damp and cold here, and the fur of these livestock is not rotten."

Wen Hao also took a look, frowned and said: "Although so, the death of these livestock seems a bit strange."

Hanzhang gave him a hand and said: "Don't look, the left and right are just funeral objects, how to get out from here is the most important thing."

Wen Hao pulled his sleeves away from his hands, and said: "If you don't figure it out, I'm afraid you won't know how you will die later."

Hanzhang curled his lips, looked to the left, and said, "There seems to be more than one sacrificial pit here."

Several people looked in the direction Hanzhang pointed, and sure enough, not far from them, there was another burial pit about three feet away from this burial pit.

This burial pit is larger, and it also contains livestock.Wen Hao sized it up for a while, then said, "Da Lang, I'll go down and have a look."

Chu Yuyang nodded, Wen Hao jumped down into the pit, rummaged through the corpse for a while, and crawled out of the pit with something in his hand, he handed the thing to Chu Yuyang, and said: "It's really strange, The fur on the body of these animals is complete, except for the head, which is split obliquely from the back to the forehead, leaving only half of the head."

Chu Yuyang glanced at the bare skull, then threw it back, looked deeper, and said calmly: "Go on."

Walking along this three-foot-wide narrow path, what everyone saw next was horrific. After passing through four or five animal sacrifice pits in succession, large-scale human sacrifices began to appear.

At the beginning, they were ordinary civilians, and the number was not large, and the scale of the sacrificial pit was not large. Wen Hao inspected them one by one. Like those livestock, the skulls of these people were split obliquely, and the inside was empty. Years, it will not naturally crack to this point, there must be something to break the brain.No matter what it is, right now, Chu Yuyang and the others don't want to meet him.

The later, more and more people were buried, and their costumes changed.

"These people seem to be nobles at that time." Qin Zhaonan squatted by the pit, looked around, and came to this conclusion.

Chu Yuyang didn't care about this, he cast his gaze far away to the top, squinted and said: "The sacrificial objects here are useless, the monster who thought to feed on the brain must be very hungry now."

He said the words very calmly, but the meaning in them made people shudder.

Qin Zhaonan shook his fan unnaturally, and said: "Let's go out quickly, there are so many dead people here, and the cold is heavy, I'm afraid it will be bad for people if you stay for a long time."

However, as soon as the words fell, a small piece of soil suddenly fell from the top and fell to Qin Zhaonan's feet. Qin Zhaonan froze, glanced at Chu Yuyang, and murmured: "It can't be so unlucky..."

Hanzhang whispered: "There is something on it."

Chu Yuyang looked up, raised his wrist, and a blade was shot upwards with a silver thread. There was a sound of iron and stone clashing in the air far away, the blade was hit back, and Chu Yuyang turned sideways. , the blade cut deeply into the soil more than a foot deep.

Chu Yuyang frowned slightly, and took out a small bottle from his pocket. If Shen Liaobai was there, he would be able to recognize that it was the bottle of medicine that Chu Yuyang had eaten in Zhang Jiao's tomb.

When Wen Hao saw the bottle, his face turned pale, and he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he backed away silently.

Chu Yuyang poured out the pills and ate them. His original amber pupils gradually turned golden, shining brightly in this dim environment. At first glance, they looked like the eyes of a wild beast, and they looked very frightening.

Qin Zhaonan closed the folding fan in disapproval, "Why is this..."

Chu Yuyang closed his eyes and interrupted him, "Don't underestimate that guy, not to mention, we can afford it, but he can't."

Qin Zhaonan was startled, sighed, and said, "That's all, give me one too."

Chu Yuyang threw the bottle into the burial pit beside him, fixed his eyes on a certain spot in the darkness above, and said flatly, "No more."

Wen Hao lost his voice and said, "Dalang, there are five pills in total, have you eaten them all?!"

Chu Yuyang didn't answer him, he shot the blade out again, but the direction was not towards the place where there was faint movement, but another corner above.As the blade got stuck on the wall, Chu Yuyang ran two steps along the edge of the sacrificial pit, kicked his feet, and with the force of the mechanism, his whole body fell lightly to the fixed position of the blade like a flying swallow. Penghuo waved several times to signal Qin Zhaonan and the others.

Qin Zhaonan's face changed several times, and finally his shoulders slumped, and he said helplessly, "Let's go first."

Wen Hao anxiously said, "But Da Lang..."

Qin Zhaonan gave him a stern look, and said: "You should know better than us that the situation is serious now, if it wasn't for the fact that the monster is very difficult, Chu Yuyang wouldn't have swallowed so much rashly, and we're just causing him more trouble by staying here. Why don't you go inside first to see if there is a place that connects to the previous cave, if you can find it, and then follow the vines to find Shen Liaobai, it will be the greatest help to Chu Yuyang."

Wen Hao gathered himself together, glanced worriedly in Chu Yuyang's direction, and then resolutely followed Qin Zhaonan to continue walking forward.

However, the monster above seemed unwilling to fight with Chu Yuyang, but avoided Chu Yuyang's pursuit, and followed Qin Zhaonan and the others all the way in.

Its movements are more agile than Chu Yuyang who is fixed on the wall with the help of a blade. Although Chu Yuyang is closely behind it, forcing it to change its course of action several times, its harassment is still caused by Qin Zhaonan below. They cause a lot of trouble.

The most dangerous time was when the monster jumped down from the top and landed heavily between Wen Hao and Hanzhang. Wen Hao was pulled by Qin Zhaonan, but he was still cut open on the side of his waist by the monster's sharp claws. Kouzi, the monster didn't stop, because Chu Yuyang's blade had already followed like a shadow, it kicked with both feet, jumped a few times, and then disappeared into the darkness again.

Even though it was very hasty, Qin Zhaonan still saw the monster's posture. It was the thing that was tearing and devouring the strange fish on top of it. At this moment, the monster's posture was even more strange when he came into close contact with it. Its face was covered with a mask, and its figure and They are similar to humans, but their hands are longer than their knees, and their claws are huge. Although their legs are short, they are thick and powerful. They also have sharp nails on their claws. If they are scratched by such things, they may either die or be injured.

Chu Qianyang's attacks from above became more and more frequent. For a while, the monster didn't find an opportunity to attack the people below. Qin Zhaonan bandaged Wen Hao hastily, and said in a low voice: "We have to find a place to hide, otherwise Chu Yun will Yang is too passive."

Hanzhang supported Wen Hao, gritted his teeth and said, "This is all a sacrificial pit, it's clear at a glance, where is there a place to hide!"

"Here." A gentle and familiar voice came from not far in front of them.

All three were startled, Qin Zhaonan was the first to react, and murmured in disbelief: "Shen Liaobai?"

"It's me." On the edge of the burial pit in front, Shen Liaobai was leaning out. He had a bad complexion, but he was standing in front of them alive.
