Tomb Raiders Fake BG "Soul of the Sword"

The author has something to say: Thank you Amu and Xiaofei for their long comments=33333=Maybe we can double update again this week ╮(T▽T)╭

A living person just disappeared in front of her eyes?Ridiculous!

She gritted her teeth and propped herself up against the current, barely looking around here.

This seemed to be the end of the waterway, surrounded by stone walls, and iron railings under her body.This waterway is not wide enough to accommodate two people at the same time, and the gap between the iron railings can only allow her to put one hand in. Even with the bone shrinking skill, the size is not enough for an adult to pass through.

Where did Wu Xie disappear to?The last time I saw him was at most six or seven seconds ago, where could he go in this short time?

Obviously, the turbulent water only flows in one direction, and that is the other end of the iron fence.During the whole process, they were driven by the strong current, and it was impossible for them to take a fork in the road.

Of course, it is impossible for him to leave here on his own.The pressure exerted by the water made her unable to move freely, let alone Wu Xie who was already in a state of exhaustion.

Wu Xie disappeared in this place, so what about Zhang Qiling?

Without any basis, she felt that Wu Xie went to the same place as Zhang Qiling.Then the neighborhood where he was last seen is the clue, and they must be around here.

Reluctantly, she found that the current situation made it very difficult for her to stretch out one arm. The surrounding stone walls were often washed by the water and became extremely smooth-it was impossible to climb up by relying on this.She gritted her teeth unwillingly and closed her eyes.

The feeling of weight on her body disappeared all of a sudden, and when she opened her eyes, the surroundings were no longer the bottom of the lake of nightmares, but the camp, the tent of her and the clouds.

At this moment, she didn't feel at all that it was wise to leave the knife on the shore.If Zhang Qiling had been forced to carry the knife at that time, at least she would be by his side now instead of a stalemate.

There was no bonfire, no external light, and the tent was a bit dark, but this did not affect her actions.She walked out of the tent and met Agui head-on, ignoring his expression as if she had seen a ghost, she asked:

"Where is the equipment that Wu Xie brought?"

Agui didn't recover from the shock, he stared at him with both surprise and joy on his face.Ajiu clicked her tongue, a little impatient, and her tone and volume became a little rushed.

"Where did Wu Xie put the equipment?"

Only then did he react, and hurriedly told her.

"Female boss, the bosses of your companions..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ajiu had already dug out a diving suit from Wu Xie's luggage - this kind of tight-fitting clothes would be much easier to move in the water than the clothes on her body.She ignored Agui and walked to her tent on her own.

And Agui knew what she was going to do no matter how slow her thinking was now, so she stopped following her and returned to her tent.

Wearing an unfamiliar outfit for the first time took her a while, and maybe she was anxious, and the whole process was not smooth.After she was dressed, she tore off a piece of fabric from the hem of the skirt and tied up her hair.

She is too lazy to think about any strategies and possibilities now.She just wanted to walk the journey again as soon as possible every minute and every second, there must be something she missed.

For example, maybe there is a fork in the waterway, and Wu Xie was swept out by the current.

And the next few dives completely overturned her lucky delusion.

Although the waterway is tortuous, it is a 'one way'.There is no fork in the road, a road to the end.

Of course, she didn't miss any clues on the way.However, repeated investigations pushed her into a trough.

In the past two days, she swam countless times on the route that she and Wu Xie took that day, perhaps because the diving suit played a certain protective role and her skin did not get swollen.

On the third day, she stopped this meaningless action.

She needs to calm down.

Sitting in the tent, she picked out the clean change of clothes that Yun Yun had left for her before she left, put them on, and twisted her wet hair.Sitting down on the bedding, she began to organize the whole affair.

They came to this Yaozhai in order to find Zhang Qiling's memory, and the lake in the deep mountain of Yaozhai was the place where Chen Wenjin led the archaeological team to search, and the bottom of the lake happened to be Zhang Qiling's hometown, and it was also her starting point—the Zhang family. building.

She didn't think that Zhang Qiling's return here was a coincidence, there was a kind of force in the dark - she couldn't explain where this feeling came from, she felt that someone was planning all this, and she was still watching them in the dark.

There is absolutely no need to panic.The fact that she exists here shows that he is safe, at least not in danger of his life.

It's just that she was a little scared—yes, scared.

Now that he doesn't know what his situation is, it's not surprising that she disappears in the next second.If this happens, it means that Zhang Qiling, who is the owner of the contract, is dead.

This was the last thing she wanted to see.

Keep thinking.Near the Zhangjialou, the three disappeared.

She had no way of knowing how the fat man disappeared, Wu Xie disappeared right under her nose.And Zhang Qiling is the same.

and many more.

She snapped her eyes open.At that time, after she followed Zhang Qiling into the water, the underwater visibility was not high, she followed his shadow to this ancient building of the Zhang family, and then lost him right here.

The helmets of Fatty and Zhang Qiling were not broken but untied, at least on the surface it seemed so.But the person who unlocked the helmet is not necessarily the person himself!

Ajiu suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

She took it for granted that there would be no one other than them in the lake, so she didn't realize it when she followed Zhang Qiling into the dive.

The person she was following might have been dropped since the journey.

Damn it!She covers her forehead.Once she calmed down, she found that her previous behavior was full of flaws, so she could take advantage of it.

It is impossible for a normal person to survive in water for half a month.And Zhang Qiling and the others are very likely to be taken to other places now.

The only way out to the village here is their camp. If anyone comes in and out, Agui will definitely see it.Further inside, there are even more mountains and wilderness.But this other force didn't let them discover this, so it shouldn't be many people.It is definitely difficult to lead three big men into the deep mountains alone.

So, they should still be around here.

Somewhere... not in the lake.

There was a commotion outside.She opened the curtain of the tent, and saw a group of people with unkind faces coming here at some point, and one of them was holding Agui by his collar, as if he was interrogating something, Agui was so frightened that his legs went limp.

"It's you." She had seen the person who grabbed Agui's collar before. He was with Fatty Wu Xie when he was in Yunding Tiangong, but she couldn't remember the name.

The man raised his head when he heard the sound, and was obviously surprised when he saw Ajiu. He let go of his hand and Agui staggered and fell to the ground.

"Are you... Miss Nine?"

The man even recognized her.Another guy standing next to him asked, "Master Pan, do you know this girl?"

Pan Zi?It seems to be called this name.Ajiu sized him up, compared to the last time I saw him, the person in front of me looked a lot older.Wu Xie said that he also went with the Snake Marsh, but disappeared halfway.

The last time I went to Yunding Tiangong was to look for Wu Sansheng.

"Are you here to find Wu Xie this time?"

Pan Zi nodded: "The little third master asked me to prepare a few sets of launching equipment for him not long ago, but he hasn't heard from him since then. Girl Jiu, you are here to show that the dumb Zhang is also there?"

Before she could answer, the people around gave way one after another, allowing a person wearing a straw hat to approach.

Pan Zi responded, "Second Master."

"Oh?" Ajiu raised her eyebrows, of course she didn't forget the 'old villager' she accidentally met at Zhang Qiling's burnt site half a month ago.It seems that the forces involved in this matter are greater than she imagined.

<<<<<

— Sit down and talk slowly.

He is a very shrewd man.Ajiu had to admit.

Judging from Pan Zi calling Wu Sansheng "the third master", this "second master" should be Wu Sansheng's elder brother and Wu Xie's second uncle.

The whereabouts of his important nephew was unknown, but he was in a hurry, and even came to seek information from Ah Jiu.

Unlike the suspicious Wu Sansheng, he chose to believe Ah Jiu's words—although she didn't think about why he made such a decision, understanding human thoughts is a tiring thing.

But that doesn't mean he's not cautious.On the contrary, his whole person can't find any flaws.

——Actually down to the point of borrowing the power of others to achieve the goal.I am really defeated.

I thought so in my heart.

She would not be so stupid as to tell the whole story, but simply told them that Zhang Qiling, Wu Xie and Fatty disappeared unexplainedly during the process of entering the water.Wu Erbai's men had plenty of manpower. To find Zhang Qiling and the others in such a large area in the shortest possible time, the crowd tactics was undoubtedly a good choice.

To put it bluntly, it is to use.

Wu Erbai was silent for a while, and whispered a few words to Pan Zi, and Pan Zi left the tent, presumably to assign people.But in Ajiu's eyes, part of the reason was that he wanted to dismiss Pan Zi.

At this time, only the two of them were left.

He opened his half-closed eyelids, and a shrewd light flashed in his sharp black eyes. She immediately realized that the purpose of this man's coming here was not just to find Wu Xie.

The two looked at each other in silence.Not minding the tense atmosphere, Ajiu unhurriedly pulled out the pipe from her bag and lit it.

"What did you see under the water?" Finally, he asked.

Exhaling a breath of white air, she smiled: "This way of asking, it seems that I already know what is under the water."

"..."

"Even if I don't tell you, it won't matter, right? Your men should be back from the water soon." She shook the cigarette ash, closed the corners of her mouth, and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Still, you have Is it necessary to hear the answer from my mouth?"

Facing the aggressive speech of this seemingly young woman, Wu Erbai was not angry, but took out a photo from his pocket.

It was an old black and white photo, the same type as the photo on Zhang Qiling's old desk.

In the photo, there was a handsome man in military uniform who looked less than thirty.

"do you know him?"

Ajiu glanced at the photo expressionlessly.

"never seen it."

The other party still didn't show any emotional fluctuations in response to this answer, stood up, and suddenly turned to ask her when he opened the curtain.

"Have you heard of Miluo Tuo?"

She froze for a moment, and was a little confused by this question that was out of place, but she still nodded.

Miluotuo, the ancestor of the Yao people in mythology.In fact, it is a monster that lives in stone and feeds on living livestock or humans.

With a vague memory, she seems to have the impression that she has seen this thing.

But the so-called Miluotuo should have been extinct long ago.

"Does this have anything to do with Miluotuo?"

He paused for a moment, and the expression that had been as calm and steady as Mount Tai just now finally showed a moment of tension and worry. He opened his mouth and slowly said a sentence that pushed Ajiu's heart to freezing point:

"They haven't perished yet, and they're here."

<<<<<

No wonder, the fat man Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie disappeared mysteriously underwater, but he was safe and sound.

It turned out to be the case.

If it is really Miluotuo, then there will be no results in searching those rocks by diving blindly.Instead, she should probably look for the mountain next to the lake.

She always comforted herself that Zhang Qiling was not dead because she was fine, but she never considered that it would become the current situation.Though Mirador lived in stone, he was a living creature.Moves extremely slowly, but doesn't stay in one place.They will turn the devouring human being into their own kind-not killing the human being, but turning him alive into a monster.

Stopping this nauseating thinking, Ajiu let herself calm down.

She couldn't bear it no matter what.If she finds Zhang Qiling who has turned into a shadow in the crevice of the stone...

Well, maybe I won't recognize him by then.

And this frightening feeling reached its peak at night after she searched for someone day and night for two days.

The bursting colic in her heart caught her off guard and fell to her knees.Pressing her left chest tightly with one hand, she took a big gulp of air, with tiny beads of sweat oozing from her forehead.

And the only reason for this sign to appear is that the owner of the blade is in danger.

Maybe it's just a survival instinct.The soul will not weaken with the weakening of the owner, except when the person is physically injured.And this feeling changes with the length of the distance between the two.

hell!Zhang Qiling, what are you doing!

Recklessly supporting the rock beside her, she stood up unsteadily and walked down step by step.

What supported her now was her willpower and bravery—the severe pain had made her unable to see clearly what was in front of her eyes.

Her master, Zhang Qiling is now struggling on the verge of life and death.She can't fall down here.

I don't know how long I've been walking, time seems to have stopped.Maybe she got used to it, she just felt that her heart didn't twitch like it did just now.She collected herself and looked around.

No wonder there hasn't been any light since just now, it seems to be in a rocky hole in the mountain.

The intense pain just now meant that Zhang Qiling should be nearby.

At this time, she vaguely heard strange sounds coming from inside the cave.It sounded like a human whisper, mixed with crying.

anyone?

As she walked forward, the diameter of the passage became smaller and smaller, until finally she had to move forward on her stomach.

Climbing and climbing became an upward trend, and an indescribable strange feeling emerged in her heart.

Even though those voices were right beside her, she didn't feel the breath of any creature.Stretching her hand into her trouser pocket, she took out the small flashlight that she put inside before leaving with some difficulty.

Pressing the button, the white light of the flashlight shone on the rock, so close that she could see the grains and textures of it.

"Ok?"

One syllable simply expresses doubt.She held the torch in her mouth and freed one hand to scrape the sand off the rocks.The exposed surface feels moist to the touch.

This feeling is clearly jade.This is actually a jade vein?

At the same time, she also discovered a strange ghost hidden in the depths of the jade.

Miluo Tuo.

Don't dare to stay longer.A voice in her heart was clamoring that she must see Zhang Qiling immediately.

There was the sound of water above, and she picked up speed.Finally turned to the end of this passage.There is slightly more space here, and a small waterfall is rushing through the crack.She saw a human head emerging from the fault on the upper side of the waterfall.

"Wu Xie!"
