Tomb Raiders

Chapter 56 Underground Tunnel

Several people huddled in a dark corner, Qin Zhaonan was at the front, between the opening and closing of the folding fan, the snow was shining, many tongue-eating insects fell to the ground, and the densely packed abdomen and legs squirmed for a while, and then became silent. Blocking the remaining gap, behind them are Wen Hao and Chu Qianyang.

Although a few people could barely deal with these mutated flying insects, the monster fish that was approaching every step of the way was very tricky. There was still a moment to catch his breath, Qin Zhaonan sweated slightly on his forehead, and said without turning his head: "Chu Yuyang, is there any way?"

Chu Yuyang frowned, he manipulated several blades, and kept attacking the slowly approaching strange fish, trying to find out the weakness of the strange fish, but every time the blade hit the strange fish, it was opened by the hard scales, even the original The eyes, which are weak points, are also covered with a film. Whenever the blade approaches, the film covers the eyeballs. The moment the blade touches, it loses force and slides away. After several attempts, it did not hinder the monster fish, but made it heal. Feeling irritable, he flicked the fish's tail, directly breaking a pillar in the corridor, and countless dust rustled down from the top of the corridor.

At the end of the question, he stared at the strange fish closely, and murmured, "Could it be that we are going to be buried here too?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the strange fish blocking the entire corridor suddenly froze. Its huge blood-red eyes moved in the horse-shaped eye sockets, as if it had sensed something, it began to frantically wag its tail and try to leave. This corridor.

Because of its movements, the corridor became more and more precarious. Even the tongue-eating insects surrounding several people who were trying to attach their skins stopped attacking, suspended in the air, and Qin Zhaonan was free to observe carefully amidst the violent vibrations. The voice said: "Their voices have changed, it seems that something powerful is coming."

Chu Yuyang didn't respond, he narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his chin, and said in a hoarse voice, "Look there."

I saw a person standing quietly behind the strange fish. Due to the dim light and the body of the strange fish, several people couldn't see his appearance clearly, but the outline made people feel very weird.

"He" is very tall, a head taller than Chu Yuyang, who is the tallest among several people, and "he" has very long arms hanging on both sides of his body, which can almost reach the ground when viewed in this way. Just looking at it like this, it looks like a monkey-like monster.

The man stood there for a moment, raised his hand and grabbed the tail of the strange fish unhurriedly. Almost instantly, the scales on the strange fish's body suddenly opened, and the scales stood up like sharp knives, making the body of the strange fish The shape suddenly doubled, and the fins and scales on the back of the fish were inserted straight into the top of the corridor like cutting tofu.

But it was obviously not because of anger. Amidst the constant vibrations, the man moved his strangely long arm, and only heard a crisp sound. The huge body of the strange fish was pulled a little bit into the corridor, and inserted into the top of the corridor. The fish scales also moved accordingly, and a crack above the corridor grew bigger and bigger with this movement, and it was almost about to collapse.

Qin Zhaonan gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know what it is, but if I don't leave now, I'm afraid I won't die in this fish's mouth, but will be buried under it."

I don't know if it was because of being too nervous, or because of the unhealed injury, Hanzhang looked a little dazed, and murmured: "Otherwise, let's go back to the garden and see if there is any exit?"

Chu Yuyang resolutely vetoed it, "No, I just saw that thing seemed to come from the other end of the corridor, 'he' must have a way to come, let's go there."

Hanzhang pursed his lips and said, "But how do we get there?"

Chu Yuyang gave him a cold look, that look seemed to be the same as usual, but it gave Hanzhang a chill down his spine, he obediently closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Chu Yuyang scanned the surrounding area and said decisively, "Go around the garden."

Taking advantage of the entanglement between the unknown "person" and the strange fish, several people walked out from the side of the corridor and hurried past the weird short tree. I don't know if it was an illusion. The person who tore off the scales on the strange fish seemed to stop suddenly, but soon, this subtle pause passed, and Chu Yuyang led the crowd back into the corridor from behind the strange fish and the man.

The other side of the corridor is completely symmetrical to this side, and even the windows in that room are of the same standard, the only difference is that the windows on that side have been destroyed by Chu Yuyang and others, while this side is still intact, like No one has ever moved.

"It seems that only this place can be used as an entrance and exit." Qin Zhaonan touched the edge of the window and was about to remove the window, but was stopped by Chu Yuyang. He stared intently for a while and said, "It's not at the window, it's below."

He squatted down and touched under the window sill, but he didn't know what he pressed. The wall tiles slid away without a sound, revealing a dark passage below.

This passageway is not very big, but it is indeed enough for that 'person' to enter and exit.Chu Yuyang took a picture of the inside with a bonfire, and saw that there was a downward passage, and the surrounding area was made of blue bricks, and the ground was polished very smooth, there was nothing to start with.

Qin Zhaonan stood on one side, carefully observed the movement on the other side, and unconsciously said in a low voice: "That can't be a person."

Chu Yuyang glanced there, only for such a short time, the strange fish was already dying, the scales on its tail had all been torn off, and the blood flowed all over the ground, because of the pain and bleeding, the strange fish was already unable to struggle , The vibration of the entire corridor also calmed down.

At this time, the 'man' was tearing off the muscles of the fish and stuffing them into the mouth. Even though the light was dim and it was impossible to see 'him' eating clearly, everyone seemed to be able to see the blood running down 'him' The strange scene of sticky palms flowing down, even the air seems to be filled with the sweet and greasy smell of blood.

They have seen bloodier and more terrifying scenes in the tomb before, but they have never felt such a deep sense of terror, as if the flesh and blood eaten by the 'man' was torn from their own body.

Chu Yuyang broke the stiff silence, "Don't waste time, let's go."

His voice was like gold and iron, which brought the frightened and dazed people back to their senses. Qin Zhaonan was better, but Wen Hao's face was covered with cold sweat. When he recovered, his legs went limp and he almost fell down.

Hanzhang helped him by his side, his face was also very pale, but he still had the strength to speak, "Shall we go straight down?"

Chu Yuyang nodded, the passage went straight down, although there was a slight slope to buffer, but because of the smooth surroundings, there was nothing to fall on, if you go down rashly, you may be injured.

Chu Yuyang held the blade between his fingers, wrapped it tightly with silk thread, and said, "I'll go down first, and you should focus on the nick I left, and come down slowly."

After saying that, he jumped in, and the blade quickly slashed on the green bricks on both sides, leaving a deep mark about three fingers wide.

Qin Zhaonan pushed Han Zhang and said: "You go down first, followed by Wen Hao, I am the queen."

Hanzhang frowned slightly, looked back at something, and went down too.

The four of them moved down this passage, and Chu Yuyang, who was the leader, slowed down. Even so, the four felt that this passage was too long, and it was unimaginable that there was no place for them to rely on. How did it come up from this channel.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Yuyang suddenly stopped, his fingers were already seeping blood, even though the muscles on his arms were covered by thick cotton clothes, he could still see that he was twitching faintly, and he might not last long.

Qin Zhaonan naturally knew the limit of Chu Yuyang, he raised his voice and shouted: "Chu Yuyang, can you do it?"

Chu Yuyang didn't answer, he said to Hanzhang behind him: "Throw the cannon fire down."

Hanzhang freed his hand, took out the cannon from his waist pocket, and threw it down.

The flaming green light flickered and fell into the darkness, and finally disappeared.Chu Yuyang squinted his eyes for a while, then suddenly said: "I'll jump down first, you wait for my signal."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the reaction of the people behind him, he retracted the blade and fell down.

Wen Hao said "Da Lang" stuck in his throat, and saw him jump down like this, and after waiting for a while, there was no response, so he couldn't help but said: "Is there anything wrong with Da Lang?!"

Qin Zhaonan also narrowed his eyes, and said after a while: "No, he should be fine."

Sure enough, as he said, not long after, a clear knocking sound sounded from not far below them, and the sharp light of the blade could still be vaguely seen.

After getting the signal, the three of them loosened their strength and jumped down.

At the bottom of this passage is a dense white fungus, and the top of the umbrella is soft and fluffy. Although the height they fell was enough to break people's bones, but with this thick natural buffer, the three of them did not suffer any injuries. .

Wen Hao climbed up from the mushroom bushes in a state of embarrassment, his body was covered with the fragments of the white mushroom powder, he patted his clothes while walking through the fungus with difficulty, and joined several other people, Chu Yuyang had already left the place. Big Bunch, waiting for them on the other side.

"Here is it?" Qin Zhaonan took off a mushroom on the skirt of his clothes in disgust, and asked Chu Yuyang.

Chu Yuyang shook his head, looked inside, except for this piece of mushroom at the bottom of the passage, the other places were black and moist soil, occasionally some sporadic fungi, but not as lush as that place.

"Now we have to keep going." Qin Zhaonan walked up to Chu Yuyang, looked in, and frowned slightly, "This smell... how many people died?"

Chu Yuyang suddenly smiled, although it was very faint, it was the first time since the reunion that there was an expression on his face.
