Tomb Raiders

Shen Liaobai's whole body was stiff, and he also whispered in a low voice: "What should I do?" As he asked, he also looked carefully at the legendary poisonous insect.I don't know how it was preserved, but the water in the tank is still exactly flush with the mouth of the tank after a hundred years. Only half of the shooter's body is exposed out of the water, and his forelimbs hook the edge of the porcelain tank. There are still drops of water on the shell, it is not known whether it is because of the water or the habit of the poisonous insect, that it can live for such a long time.It's just that they were just released, these poisonous insects moved a little slowly, and they didn't seem to be interested in the two big living people at the door.

Chu Yuyang pondered for a moment and said: "The archers here should have been dormant, even if the two of us came in, they would not wake up immediately. If we find out the reason and prevent the rest of the archers from being released, we will still There is a way out."

Shen Liaobai's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a low voice: "Just now... just now when I was about to come in, I was lying on the ground and smelled something else."

Chu Yuyang moved closer and asked, "What's the smell?"

Shen Liaobai recalled it for a while, and said softly: "It's a little sweet, and it also has a stench similar to blood. It can only be smelled when it is close to the ground. It is different from the smell of blood."

Chu Yuyang frowned, "Outside... the shooter takes young children very seriously, and the underage shooters hide in the crevices of the stream and rocks, and are fed by adults with food. The smell outside is probably the smell of larvae. "

Shen Liaobai stared at the poisonous insects that were slowly wriggling their mouthparts, his voice was almost breathless, "Is there a way to cover this smell?"

Chu Yuyang was silent for a long time, Shen Liaobai saw that more wooden boards on the top of the porcelain jars were pushed away, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious, moved closer to Chu Yuyang, and urged: "There are seven or eight porcelain jars opened. gone."

Chu Yuyang relaxed a little bit, Shen Liaobai was so close, he naturally noticed it, and couldn't help raising his head slightly to take a look at Chu Yuyang, when he raised his head, it happened that Chu Yuyang, who was very close to him, happened to be Lips touched the tip of his ear.Shen Liaobai shuddered immediately, his five senses were always sharper than others, this touch made his whole ears turn red.

Chu Yuyang didn't seem to notice it, but turned his wrist and said softly: "It seems that our luck is better."

Shen Liaobai didn't care about the tips of his ears that were still faintly burning, grabbed him and asked, "What do you mean?"

Chu Yuyang signaled him not to move, so he stood up by himself, provoked by Chu Yuyang's movements, the first archer who woke up vibrated his elytra, his bow and arrow-shaped mouthparts squirmed twice, and several air shadows shot out, faintly With the whistling sound, it can be seen that the speed is fast.

He stood in front of Shen Liaobai, there was no way to avoid it within such a short distance, and Chu Yuyang obviously had no intention of avoiding it, he seemed to put something in the sleeve of his forearm, and when the air shadow came, he only used his forearm Standing in front of him, he only heard a few clangs, the air arrow seemed to hit something hard, and none of them pierced into the flesh.Shen Liaobai was terrified when he saw it, and stood motionless against the stone door, for fear that those poisonous insects would target him.

After blocking those air arrows, the archers paused for a moment, and the humming sound from the mouthpiece of the crossbow became louder and louder. As if affected by the humming sound, the archers who woke up behind also began to respond. When he got up, it seemed that these poisonous insects had all set their sights on Chu Yuyang for a moment. Even though Chu Yuyang was completely blocking him, Shen Liaobai still felt a tinge of fear.

Chu Yuyang didn't care, he moved his wrist, only heard a few clicks, and a few extremely thin and thin blades flew out with the silk thread in his sleeve, controlled by his wrist, and quickly cut the earliest The awakened shooters were cut in half, then twirled, and flew back again, caught between their fingers.

Then he fitted the blades together to form a cross shape, and the silk threads at the back of the blades were also twisted together. Shen Liaobai didn't know his plan, but he didn't want to disturb him, so he stared closely at the archer and took a few glances , Shen Liaobai couldn't bear to wonder, there were already a dozen porcelain jars opened, but the shooters inside didn't attack immediately, most of them moved slowly, and none of them left the jar.

Could it be that he was sleepy?Shen Liaobai thought joyfully, or are these archers inseparable from water?

Chu Yuyang's movements were still unhurried. He swung all the cross-shaped blades twice in his hands. With a dexterous flick of his wrist, the blades flew out, but the target was not the archer lying on the edge of the porcelain pot, but the It's those amphora.

Only the sound of porcelain shattering could be heard continuously. Chu Yuyang had four sets of blades in his hand, which were controlled by silk threads and shuttled back and forth throughout the entire tomb. A glimmer of light flashed from time to time in the darkness deep in the tomb.

After a while, there were no more complete porcelain pots in this tomb, and the water in the pots immediately flowed all over the ground, flowing out along the hole at the corner of the stone gate.

As Chu Yuyang broke the porcelain pot, a large piece of shooter fell on the ground, covering the ground completely, Shen Liaobai's face changed, and he couldn't help asking softly: "What is this..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a whistling airflow coming from his side. Chu Yuyang pulled him, pulled the silk thread, blocked it with a blade, and said, "It's not safe now, you go out first, I'll go out immediately." just come out."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but pull Shen Liaobai to the side of the robber's cave, motioning him to leave quickly.

Although Shen Liaobai didn't understand his intentions, he also understood that now was not the time to tell the truth, so he gritted his teeth and went out.

After he went out, he sniffed the smell above the ground again, and he didn't know if it was because of the water flowing out of the porcelain pot inside, the smell became weaker and weaker, even he could hardly smell it, but it was more characteristic of poisonous insects fishy smell.

He stood still beside the stone gate and listened carefully to the movement inside. Because the stone gate was thick, he couldn't hear it very clearly. He only heard the occasional sound of broken porcelain, and he didn't know what Chu Yuyang encountered inside. .

After waiting for about a cup of tea, Shen Liaobai saw Chu Yuyang come out, and there seemed to be no poisonous insects following him. Shen Liaobai breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and said, "Are you all right?"

Chu Yuyang glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm fine, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Liaobai was stunned, and Chu Yuyang said: "Your face is very red..." He frowned, "Could it be poisoned?"

Shen Liaobai touched his face, suddenly said: "Ah, I was too nervous just now, I forgot to breathe, it's holding back, it's nothing serious."

Chu Yuyang didn't ask any more questions, he just said: "I lost my bonfire inside, use yours."

Shen Liaobai nodded, took out the bonfire Chu Yuyang gave him, and asked, "What happened just now?"

Chu Yuyang glanced at him, and saw that Shen Liaobai's face was still red, and even the corners of his eyes seemed to be rosy, which seemed to be more bloody than usual, and much more pleasing to the eye, so he looked at it a few more times. Eye.

Seeing that Chu Yuyang didn't answer, Shen Liaobai just looked at him and wondered if he was shot by the shooter, so he pushed him carefully and said, "Are you okay?"

Chu Yuyang turned his eyes away and said: "It's okay, shooters are aquatic. If it is normal, it's okay to just get out of the water occasionally. What's more, the adults value the larvae very much, and it is not impossible to sacrifice their lives for them. It's just that now The breath of the larvae is already very weak, and these poisonous insects have been sealed for a long time after all, so they move slowly and cannot leave the water, I broke the porcelain jar, the shooter has no water to rely on, and he will surely die."

"No wonder you said you were lucky." Shen Liaobai smiled, but the smile suddenly froze, he narrowed his eyes, and said thoughtfully: "When we went in, all the porcelain pots were intact, and there was not a single wooden lid It has been opened, if the last batch of people came, it would not be like this."

Chu Yuyang glanced at the broken porcelain jars on both sides of the tomb passage, "More than that, if my guess is correct, the breath of larvae should be sealed in these broken porcelain jars, but according to my father's temperament, it is easy Will not break these china jars."

Shen Liaobai guessed: "Maybe someone in the team missed..." But as soon as the words came out, Shen Liaobai knew it was impossible without Chu Yuyang's rebuttal.

"As far as I know, it's not impossible for the last group of people to come out of this tomb unscathed and without disturbing the archers, but it's absolutely impossible for them to make the porcelain beside the tomb passage. , this is too careless." Chu Yuyang walked over, picked up the tiles and flipped through them for a while, then said lightly.

Shen Liaobai pursed his lips and rubbed his cuffs subconsciously. After listening to Chu Yuyang's words, he suddenly had an idea in his heart. If these broken porcelain jars were indeed not made by the last group of people who searched this tomb, then they must be Somebody deliberately came over to smash them and release the aura from them. Once the aura of the larvae dissipated, the lethality of the adults would be reduced by half.This matter is only beneficial to some people, that is, the second group of people who came here after more than a month or even longer.

Who could it be... Shen Liao frowned slightly, and crumpled his cuffs until Chu Yuyang said beside him: "Don't think too much at this time, just take one step at a time."

He came back to his senses and hurriedly followed, only to hear Chu Yuyang say again: "One more thing, the air in the tomb is not circulated, the empty tomb above is directly connected by the robbery hole, and the robbery hole is not connected to the tomb. Filled to death, but the air below is not only slightly sluggish, but even the breath in the porcelain jar dissipates very quickly, this tomb must be connected to the outside world, if you want to go out, it may be much more convenient."

Shen Liaobai nodded, it would be great if the next itinerary was as easy as Chu Qianyang said.
