Tomb Raiders

The tingling sensation on the skin became more and more obvious, as if the thing was slowly approaching. Shen Liaobai smelled a stench of rot mixed with blood, which was somewhat familiar, as if he had smelled it before.

"There's something ahead." Shen Liaobai held onto Chu Yuyang who was about to enter the turning and said.

Chu Yuyang met Shen Liaobai's still cold fingertips, which brushed against his palm unintentionally. He paused, waved his hand to signal everyone to stop, and said, "Hanzhang, go and check."

Hanzhang put the crossbow on his back with the crossbow arrows on his back, and in three or two steps, he jumped into the corridor at the corner. Although his steps were fast, he was light and without a sound. His figure quickly disappeared into the darkness, only the shaking sporadic Fire shows where he is.

Shen Liaobai kept staring at the flaming light. Although the tingling sensation on his face stopped, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. Hanzhang had already walked quite a distance, and the last light was also submerged in the darkness. There was still no signal, as if Hanzhang's whole body was swallowed up by the darkness.

There were two corpses lying not far from them. Perhaps because he was bored, Song Qiancheng moved to the side of the corpses boldly. Scattered bottles and jars and a dagger, and the empty water jug ​​that the intact corpse was holding before dying was also taken out by his fingers.

Shen Liaobai walked over and saw that the water pot Song Qiancheng was holding was made of gold. The body of the pot was thin, so it was not heavy to carry. There were also beautiful patterns carved on the body of the pot, which was very valuable. It seemed that this corpse was not a simple one. characters.

"Brother Song, did you find anything?" Shen Liaobai asked Song Qiancheng with a suddenly enlightened expression.

"This man seems to be King Ding's personal guard." Song Qiancheng looked carefully at the water bottle in his hand, and said, "This water bottle was given to him by King Ding. He always likes to brag about it with him, but I'm only with him. There were a few encounters, and then he disappeared, so he died here."

It seems that King Ding is determined to win the Taiping Sutra, otherwise why would he send people down again and again, Shen Liaobai thought to himself.He looked at Chu Yuyang again, Chu Yuyang was staring at the deep corridor, and didn't seem to notice their conversation.A green light appeared in the corridor, moving towards this side.

Seeing Hanzhang's return, Shen Liaobai's hanging heart finally let go, the green light moved slowly towards this side, and then paused again, suddenly a sharp bamboo whistle sounded in the cave, and then the crossbow arrow shot out and hit the stone wall Hearing the sound, Chu Yuyang's expression changed, he pulled Shen Liaobai up and ran out.

Shen Liaobai struggled to follow Chu Yuyang's pace, the strong rancid smell seemed to be right in front of his nose, he finally remembered where he had smelled this smell, "It's a poisonous corpse."

Chu Yuyang looked back, but Hanzhang hadn't followed, he stuffed the dragon scale into Shen Liaobai's hand and said, "I'll meet Hanzhang, you follow Wenhao first."

Shen Liaobai understood that following Chu Yuyang would only increase his burden, too much hesitation would miss the opportunity, took the dragon scale from Chu Yuyang's hand, and ran to the entrance of the cave.

The cave was much deeper than he imagined, and the corridor seemed endless. Hearing the sound of fighting behind him, Shen Liaobai didn't dare to slack off. Even though he was exhausted, he still gritted his teeth and followed behind Wenhao.

"We're almost there." Song Qiancheng, who was running at the forefront, shouted, and he would not shout tired only when he was running for his life.

Shen Liaobai raised his head and vaguely saw the outline of the cave entrance. Song Qiancheng was waving vigorously at them, but behind Song Qiancheng, a poisonous corpse appeared, waving his hands at Song Qiancheng's head.

"Song Qiancheng, be careful." Shen Liaobai yelled, he was out of breath because of running, and now his yell sounded quite hoarse.

Song Qiancheng was startled by his shout, subconsciously hugged his head and squatted down, narrowly avoiding the attack of the poisonous corpse, and hurriedly rolled and crawled and ran back into the cave.

How could the poisonous corpse let him go, chasing after him, Song Qiancheng shouted palely, trying to remove the Mo Dao from his back, but he was too flustered, he couldn't even untie the tether, and then And because he didn't look at the road, he caught the raised bluestone slab under his feet and fell into the mud.

Seeing that the whole body of the poisonous corpse was red, and he was about to spit out the venom when he opened his mouth, while Shen Liaobai was relatively far away, so he had no time to run over. He closed his eyes, and couldn't bear to watch the next scene, but he heard Song Qiancheng's smug smile "Hahaha, this thing is quite useful."

Shen Liaobai opened his eyes, and saw the poisonous corpse lying at Song Qiancheng's feet, smoking. When he ran close, the poisonous corpse had melted into only half of its skull, and a baby's forearm crawled out of it. The long and short centipede struggled twice, then stopped moving, and then turned into black water, leaving only a pool of marks on the ground.

Some fragments of porcelain were scattered on the ground, which were broken from the bottle that Song Qiancheng threw at the poisonous corpse in a panic just now. Wen Hao picked up one of them and smelled it, and said, "It's the water for transforming corpses."

Shen Liaobai thought of the corpse water mentioned by Chu Yuyang in the ear chamber of the poisonous corpse, saying that it was a sharp weapon to restrain the poisonous corpse, but he did not expect it to be so powerful.

"Hey," Song Qiancheng laughed dryly, "We're saved."

He spread out the baggage in his hands, and there were more than a dozen identical bottles inside.

Chu Yuyang and Hanzhang were stuck together back to back, surrounded by more than a dozen poisonous corpses in the narrow corridor, the bluestone bricks were full of traces of scorched venom, and their bodies were also injured, too long. The fighting was about to wear down their strength.

Hanzhang touched the quiver on his back, there were only a dozen crossbow arrows left, the place on his body hit by the venom was unbearably painful, the wound was corroded by the venom and was expanding, he took a few deep breaths, and said: "Da Lang , I'll draw their attention for a while, you take the opportunity to run out."

"Concentrate." Chu Yuyang said, with his usual calm tone, scanning the poisonous corpses in front of him one by one with sharp eyes, waiting for an opportunity to find a place to break through.

The skin of the poisonous corpse in front of them was turning red again, they didn't go forward, but surrounded Chu Yuyang and the others, as if they wanted to kill them with venom.

Hanzhang was a little anxious, "Dalang, you still have to find the patriarch..."

"Concentrate." Chu Yuyang still had these two words, he held his breath, narrowed his long and narrow phoenix eyes slightly.

It seemed that Chu Yuyang was planning to fight to the death, Hanzhang clenched the crossbow in his hand, and quickly thought about how to attract the attention of the poisonous corpse, no matter what, he must let Chu Yuyang live.

While they were in a stalemate, there was suddenly the sound of chaotic footsteps in the aisle, and someone shouted Chu Yuyang's name loudly.

Chu Yuyang heard Shen Liaobai's voice, and frowned, Shen Liaobai is a sensible person, why did he come back at this juncture?Several poisonous corpses heard the sound and ran towards Shen Liaobai's direction. He regained his senses and wanted to wrap around those poisonous corpses, but was blocked by the poisonous corpses that surrounded them again.

The sprayed venom splashed everywhere, like a black rain falling in the cave. The body of the poisonous corpse would pause for a while when spraying the poisonous corpse. Chu Yuyang aimed at the timing and walked sideways through the gap between several poisonous corpses, and went around to Behind the poisonous corpse, he ran towards Shen Liaobai.After running dozens of steps, he met Shen Liaobai. Shen Liaobai was in good health, and seeing him was safe, Shen Liaobai finally felt relieved.

"Where's Hanzhang?" Wen Hao, who was following Shen Liaobai, asked.

"What are you doing back?" Chu Yuyang roared, but it was directed at Shen Liaobai.

In Shen Liaobai's impression, Chu Yuyang has always been a calm and restrained person, so Chu Yuyang's roar also stunned him, and he stammered: "I...I... "

After stammering for a long time without saying anything, Wen Hao stuffed all the porcelain bottles in Chu Yuyang's hands, and said, "Da Lang, these are corpse water."

Chu Yuyang's terribly cold eyes finally moved away from Shen Liaobai's face, and returned to the original place with the porcelain bottle to rescue Hanzhang.Seeing other people following up, Shen Liaobai paused and followed.

When Shen Liaobai arrived, more than a dozen poisonous corpses were already lying on the ground smoking. Chu Yuyang stepped over the corpses expressionlessly and found a clean place to rest.

Hanzhang was probably exhausted, so he lay down on the ground and said, "Wenhao, look at my back."

Wen Hao moved Penghuo closer, only to see that the injury on Hanzhang's back was more serious than he imagined. His back was directly hit by the venom. If he hadn't worn a chain mail to defend himself, he would have died long ago up.Even so, half of the back had become scorched black and rotten, and the black venom was still inside, spreading to other places little by little.

"Master Shen, come help." Wen Hao called out.

At that time, Shen Liaobai was sitting silently in a corner far away from Chu Yuyang, when he heard Wen Hao calling him, he came over and took the medicine from Wen Hao.

While applying medicine to Hanzhang, Wen Hao said, "Hanzhang's injury is a bit serious, I can't move away, you should go and treat Dalang's wound first."

Shen Liaobai looked at Chu Yuyang who was resting with his eyes closed, hesitated for a while before walking forward, and said softly: "I'll give you some medicine."

Chu Yuyang raised his eyelids, turned around, took off his clothes, and showed him the wounds on his body. Fortunately, the wounds were not deep, but the few bruises from the poisonous corpse's arms looked particularly shocking.

Shen Liaobai gently applied the medicine to him and was speechless for a while.

"Master Shen, where did you get the corpse water?" Hanzhang lay down on the ground and asked Wenhao to give him the medicine, humming in pain, and took the time to ask.

"It's all due to me," Song Qiancheng raised his tone as if asking for credit, "If I hadn't come along from those two corpses, I'm afraid it would be another fierce battle."

Hanzhang propped up his upper body, and was pressed down by Wenhao again, "Hey, Song Qiancheng, you wicked ghost, you have to follow the things of your acquaintances, so you should also follow the golden pot, remember when the time comes Fifty-five splits."

Song Qiancheng hid the burden on his back, "Acquaintances, I've only met a few times. I'll leave the golden pot where it is. If you want it, you can get it yourself."

Hearing the two of them quarreling, Shen Liaobai smiled unconsciously, but he didn't pay attention to the severity of his hands, in exchange for Chu Yuyang's cold look.

"I'm sorry." Shen Liaobai apologized softly.

Chu Yuyang silently untied the silk thread wrapped around his wrist, inserted the thin blade back into the case, and kept facing Shen Liaobai with his back.

Shen Liaobai felt that the atmosphere made him feel uncomfortable, he endured it again and again, and explained: "Chu Yiyang, just now I... We waited for you outside the cave for a long time, but we didn't see you coming out, so I was very worried. I I think you have saved me several times, and I can't just watch you die inside. Although I am a scholar, I also know the word love. No matter what your purpose for bringing me down is, at least the lives and deaths of the few of us are almost over now. tied together, no matter what, I can't leave you behind."

Chu Yuyang's hands kept moving, and just when Shen Liaobai thought he would go silent, he said, "I know why Shen Yingqing didn't leave a mark to indicate the correct cave."

"Why?" Shen Liaobai was stunned, but he also changed the subject obediently. He was also quite puzzled by this. It was obviously a very important matter, and it is reasonable that Yingqing would not miss it.

Chu Yuyang replied: "Because these three caves are connected, it doesn't matter which one you go to. The group of poisonous corpses followed us into the collapsed mouth of the river above and dispersed into the three caves, but they were confused by the mechanism inside the cave. We stopped, so when the mechanism was lifted, they found out where we were."

"So we still have to go through the cave to find the exit?" Shen Liaobai asked.

"It's not the exit," Chu Yuyang looked back at him, his gaze was much softer than before, "it's the main tomb."
