Tomb Raiders

Chapter 47

A drop of cold sweat slid down Shen Liaobai's forehead. He raised his dagger and stabbed it straight into the face of the human skin figurine who was rushing towards him. Pulling it out, a large number of tentacles protruded from the nose and ears of the human skin figurine, and the tiny tip of the needle has been twisted into a length like a silk thread, wrapping around Shen Liaobai's wrist, and crawling towards his cheek in a meandering manner .

Fortunately, Chu Yuyang picked up the blade and cut off the tentacles on his wrist. Taking advantage of the time when the plant loosened slightly, Shen Liaobai held the dagger and slashed down. The sharp blade immediately cut a hole along the cheek and straight to the abdomen. There was a huge opening, and the ball-shaped plants shrunk inside the body fell out of the human skin figurines, but the brightness of the mermaid lights in this tomb passage was too weak, and those plants only wriggled for a while, and then entangled back to the human skin The inside of the figurine's body was gone, and the tentacles stretched out from their ears and noses.

This went on endlessly, and before they finished dealing with this group of bloodthirsty things, their physical strength was already too much.

Shen Liaobai held the dagger instead, and the current situation did not allow him to be distracted in the slightest. While staring at the human skin figurines waiting in front of him, he wondered if there was a way to reverse the timing.A huge fireball was thrown from the end of the tomb passage, and the dazzling flame immediately made the figurines back a few steps.

"Run..." Qin Zhaonan's voice came from the other side of the tomb passage.

Shen Liaobai subconsciously went to shake Chu Yuyang's hand, and in mid-air, Chu Yuyang held him with his backhand, pulling him to the end of the tomb passage, Shen Liaobai looked back, and saw that the human skin figurines were not in the slightest. Hesitant, let the fire burn the outer layer of human skin, climbed to the top of the tomb passage, and chased after them.

The three of them just stepped into the side room at the back of the tomb passage, Qin Zhaonan immediately threw out the half-burned silk quilt in his hand, the fire only burned half of the human skin figurines, and the rest of the human skin figurines stopped at the back end of the tomb passage There was no movement, the light green tentacles squirmed and stretched outside the human skin, as if they were on alert for something, when Chu Yuyang was about to attack, he suddenly turned his head and left.

"Help, close the door." Hanzhang pointed to the port of the tomb passage.

Only then did Shen Liaobai see the two jade doors at the port, and hurried to help the leader, closing the doors.This side room is only the size of an ordinary family's room. At this time, it is filled with the smoke of the fireball and the pungent smell of burnt plants. It will not go away in a short time. Shen Liao's tired legs and feet are weak, and he doesn't care much Just as he was about to sit down and rest, he was pulled up by Chu Yuyang, took two steps to the right, and saw another jade door that was opened.

The room behind the Yumen Gate was twice as large as the previous room, and there were funerary utensils, and there was even a couch near the bottom of the wall. Chu Yuyang let Shen Liaobai sit on the couch to rest, and went to the door by himself. After looking at it, he made sure that the human skin figurines did not chase after him, and he just turned back.

Shen Liaobai gave the couch to Wen Hao to lie down on. Among the five people who have gathered now, he was the most seriously injured, and his face is still pale. It is lucky that he still has the strength to escape after tossing with them all the way. He himself sat directly on the couch On the ground, it is convenient to check the situation of Wen Hao.

"The side room outside is a storage room, where the clothes in front of the owner are placed." Qin Zhaonan pointed to the gold porcelain on the display rack and the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and said, "This room is probably a collection room." , I checked, and there is no danger."

Shen Liaobai breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Why didn't those human skin figurines chase after them?"

Chu Yuyang sat next to Shen Liaobai, handed him the water bottle, and said, "Perhaps in order to prevent the plants in the human skin figurines from growing wantonly and destroying the tomb owner's burial objects and even extending to the main tomb, so we put a water bottle here. Something that scares those human skin figurines."

If so, it makes sense, that's why the group of figurines insisted on catching up with Shen Liaobai and the others, regardless of their nature of being afraid of fire, because they knew that as long as they passed the hunting area of ​​the tomb passage, their prey would be dead. out of their hunting range.

Shen Liaobai took a sip of water, and the cool water moistened his throat, which made him recover a little bit, "However, there seems to be no other tomb passage in the room we came in. How should we get out of here and go to the main tomb?" go?"

"Master Shen, let's rest for a while, you are not tired of thinking about problems all the time." Hanzhang leaned on the jade gate and said, he has no obvious injuries, and his face is fine.

Qin Zhaonan nodded and said: "Hanzhang, what you said is very true. Let's take a rest first, and I will leave the task of finding the tomb passage to you."

At that time Hanzhang had already found a place to sit down, took out dry food and was about to start eating, when he heard the words, he shouted: "Qin Jun, I was also injured and need to rest."

Qin Zhaonan snorted coldly, and said: "Don't talk about the wounds on your arms, they were scratched by you when you entered the hallucination. We were chased to death by human skin figurines outside, not to mention bleeding and sweating. Looking for you, I was almost eaten skin to bone by those human figurines, but you are better off, lying on this couch and sleeping, calling you for a long time before waking up in a daze."

Hanzhang rubbed his hair, also a little confused, and said: "I just felt sleepy at the time, and fell asleep as soon as my eyes went dark, and I don't know what happened after that, you should treat the wound quickly, those things smell The blood will be excited, and maybe it will sneak into the wound when you are not prepared."

If something gets into the body, the tattoo will definitely react. Shen Liaobai has no other discomfort except the weakness of his legs caused by long-term running. He checked Wenhao's injury, and it was as Hanzhang said. , near Wen Hao's wound, there are one or two sections of cyan, if you don't look carefully, it is no different from the veins of the human body.

The blood from Wen Hao's wound had congealed, Chu Yuyang scratched the wound lightly with a scalded dagger, the blood gushed out again, the blue thing under the skin began to move, just when he probed the wound, he was pinched by Chu Yuyang They stopped, took them out from inside, and threw them on the ground. Their blood-sucking bodies had already swelled from the size of a needle point. After twisting twice on the ground, they stopped moving. He took a few pills out of his waist pouch and let him swallow them with water.

"Wen Hao has dragged Da Lang down." Wen Hao said weakly.

"You rest first, don't worry about other things." Although Chu Yuyang was still expressionless, his tone softened a lot.

Wen Hao glanced at Hanzhang who was squatting at the door eating, and after making sure that he was fine, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

"Don't worry, he's fine," Chu Yuyang patted Shen Liaobai's tired face and said, "You can also rest for a while."

Shen Liaobai adjusted his posture according to Chu Yuyang, and rested on the couch.He slept very lightly, and had a nightmare, as if he was in a hallucination again, unable to distinguish the real from the real, he was suddenly awakened, sat up panting heavily, until he recognized the environment he was in, Relieved, he leaned back on the couch.

Chu Yuyang was beside him, holding his hand tightly, Shen Liaobai turned his head to look at Chu Yuyang, Chu Yuyang didn't sleep well, and his long and curly eyelashes fluttered from time to time. With a tremor, Shen Liaobai leaned forward a little bit, and pressed against Chu Yuyang's forehead, Chu Yuyang's eyelashes scraped against his cheek, a little itchy, but he felt very relieved.

When Shen Liaobai woke up again, Chu Yuyang and Qin Zhaonan had woken up at some point, and were quietly checking the things in this room.

Hearing the rustling noise, Chu Yuyang turned his head to look at Shen Liaobai, and said with a faint smile, "Are you awake?"

The previous uneasiness and fear seemed to be suddenly dispelled by Chu Yuyang's smile, and Shen Liaobai also smiled and said, "Did you find anything?"

"Not yet," Qin Zhaonan poked his head out from the side room and said, "everything here may have traps, and we can't touch it at will. We can only see with our naked eyes. It's not so easy to see."

That is to say, any thing here, big or small, may be the mechanism that opens the tomb passage of the main tomb. Shen Liaobai glanced around casually. It is really not easy to find a thing with a hidden mechanism among all the things, and you can't find the wrong thing.

Shen Liaobai stood up, brushed off the dust on his clothes, walked to Chu Yuyang's side, and looked at the porcelain on the display shelf with him, and said, "I think Yingqing should leave some mark."

"Did you say that because you saw the sign left at the entrance of the robber's cave?" Chu Yuyang asked.

Shen Liaobai shook his head, and said: "He left the clues at Xie Wu's home, probably because he wanted people to follow his clues, and then left words at the exit of Zhang Jiao's tomb, as if he wanted to say something , It’s just that he didn’t expect me to be the one looking for him, probably because I’m too stupid, and I haven’t figured out what he meant until now.”

Chu Yuyang put his arms around his waist, patted his back reassuringly, and said, "If it wasn't for you, no one would have discovered the clues left by Shen Yingqing."

Shen Liaobai sighed softly and didn't say anything else, but the expression on his face showed that he was still very concerned about this matter.

"No matter what the result is, you have tried your best." Chu Qianyang said, after finishing speaking, he went to check the gold objects again.

Shen Liaobai remembered that Chu Yuyang had the same experience as him. Although Chu Yuyang never said it or showed it on his face, he must be very worried in his heart. Isn't he making things difficult for Chu Yuyang?Putting aside these messy thoughts, Shen Liaobai checked the display shelves together.

The tomb has been closed all year round, and it is underground. There is only a thin layer of dust on the display shelves. If any objects have been moved, the surroundings of the objects should be relatively clean.But Shen Liaobai didn't expect that there was a more intuitive way.

"Look at this..." Chu Qianyang said.

Shen Liaobai looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a small gold seal, and next to the gold seal, a flower was scribbled. Shen Liaobai was very familiar with this flower. It is a blooming gladiolus.
