Tomb Raiders: Beginning Qinglong Bloodline

Chapter 277 278 Snake-headed Ghost Yang!

"Don't go there!"

After Ye Haochu finished speaking, he quickly drew out a throwing knife, and stabbed fiercely on the cliff next to the mummy with a piercing sound of wind.

All of a sudden, mud and rocks splashed, stirring up a large cloud of smoke and dust!
When the smoke and dust filled the air, everyone saw a black shadow that looked like a snake. Just as it got out of the cliff, it was stabbed by Ye Haochu with a knife, and blood-red juice sprayed out.

At the same time, there was a scream in everyone's ears!

The sound was very similar to the sound of fingernails scraping on glass, and it gave people goosebumps all over their bodies.

The little brother took a step at this time, pulled out the ancient black gold knife tied behind his back, and looked ahead with a pair of cold eyes.

He quickly jumped to Ye Haochu's side, but the snake-shaped black shadow with the thickness of the mouth of the bowl had already disappeared into the cliff, leaving only a faint black hole.

Wu Xie and Wang Yueban's faces immediately turned pale. If Ye Haochu hadn't made the move just now, they might have been murdered by that black shadow. Until now, they are still terrified.

There are really many dangers in this weird ancient tomb!

"What is this?" Wu Xie asked aloud, measuring the black hole left on the cliff.

The little brother stretched out his two fingers, stained some scarlet juice on the ground, twisted it lightly, put it on the tip of the pen and sniffed it, and said: "This should be the juice of some kind of plant, and there is a smell of corpse in it."

Plant sap?Dead breath?

Wu Xie and the two were stunned for a moment. Could it be that it was a plant with corpse aura that attacked them just now?Is there such a thing in this world?

"Plants with corpse aura?" Wang Yueban asked in surprise.

The little brother nodded, looking at the plank road ahead, wondering what he was thinking.

At this time, Wu Xie guessed: "You said that the disappearance of the old itchy is related to this strange plant?"

"Hmm! Very likely!"

Then everyone looked at the mummy in front of them. How many years has that mummy been in this place?Their bodies are entangled by the roots of many unknown plants, and through the roots of the plants, they can see the torn clothes on their bodies.

The corpse was like dry wood, with a thin layer of skin wrinkled and covering the bones, the eyeballs could no longer be seen, and the flesh on the lips might have shrunk into a ball due to weathering, exposing the empty gums.

The corpse opened its mouth wide and had a ferocious face. It must have suffered a lot of pain before it died, and it looked very scary.

Suddenly, Wang Yueban's expression changed, pointing at the mummy, he said in surprise, "I'm going, the corpse moved!"

Ye Haochu's face was still calm at this time, and there seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. With a twist of his wrist, he gently tossed a throwing knife.

The flying knife brought out a icy light in the air, and the knife light disappeared in a flash, sinking into the cliff next to the mummy.

I saw that the two Chi Gu were cut in half by the flying knife, green juice splashed on the cliff, and a faint stench pervaded the air.

"It turns out that this corpse was parasitized by the Chi Gu. This Chi Gu is really harmful."

Seeing this scene, Wu Xie immediately understood.

Wang Yue half-watched the dark void, and said, "I don't know where this thing is, what should we do?"

Ye Haochu just smiled slightly, and walked straight to the front of the plank road.

"As long as we keep approaching the bronze tree, the plant will come to us by itself."

The little brother said something, and followed Ye Haochu straight forward.

Wu Xie hurriedly followed, Wang Yueban scratched her head, took another look at the mummy, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Hey! You wait for Fat Master!"

Then everyone gradually went away.

……

Ye Haochu and the others have been walking up the plank road. The plank road is full of unknown grasses and vines, and there are wooden planks that will break when stepped on. It is even more difficult than climbing a bronze tree.

When Wang Yueban was muttering and complaining, Wu Xie in front suddenly stopped in his tracks. The former bumped into him inadvertently, and was about to say a few words, but Wu Xie turned his head abruptly, stretched his fingers forward, and the corners of his mouth trembled.

Wang Yueban looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a man with a hideous mask standing there.

Judging by his figure and clothes, he was clearly the missing old itch in their team!

Seeing this, Wu Xie hurried over.

"Old itchy, why did you come here without making a sound?"

The fat man asked suspiciously, and followed Wu Xie forward.

Suddenly, the two felt empty under their feet, and the scene in front of them changed instantly.

Where is the old itching in front of my eyes!There is not even a plank road in front of them, there is only a cliff in front of them, and there is a bottomless abyss under their feet!
The fat man's hair stood up, his face was as pale as paper, and beside him, there was another person hanging in the air like him, that was the unlucky Wu Xie.

Seeing this, Ye Haochu shook his head slightly, with a look of helplessness on his face, he was holding Wang Yueban's collar, while the little brother beside him was holding Wu Xie's collar.

Just when the plank road came to the end, Wu Xie and Wang Yueban were like madmen, shouting the name of the old itchy, and then jumped into the abyss.

Fortunately, Ye Haochu and his younger brother reacted quickly, and each of them stopped the other, so no one was killed.

"Oh my god, that's what happened, isn't this too exciting?!"

Wang Yueban understood the terrified look on her face when she came here, but she still didn't forget to break her mouth.

Wu Xie was also dragged back to the plank road by the younger brother, sitting on the plank road panting, covered in cold sweat.

"You guys don't want to die?" The younger brother's cold voice came, and he looked at Wu Xie with some reproach.

Wu Xie said with some embarrassment: "Hey! I will definitely pay attention next time!"

Ye Haochu ignored Wu Xie and his little brother as they sprinkled dog food, looked at the abyss in front of him, and said: "It is recorded in Hemu Ji that this imperial plank road has only been built up to here, and when it is built upwards, people keep falling off the cliff for no reason. Everyone panicked and gradually fell into disuse."

"Brother Ye, could it be...those condemned prisoners who fell down from building the plank road, looking for...replacement for the dead ghost?" Wang Yueban was silent for a while, her voice trembling slightly.

Ye Haochu looked around, they were already close to the surface, and they couldn't feel any yin from the surroundings.

"Maybe, but there's something wrong with the air here."

The little brother nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It should be some kind of miasma. If you inhale too much, it will cause hallucinations."

"Then let's get out of here quickly." Wu Xie looked at the thick root system exposed in the surrounding rock and soil, feeling a little inexplicably terrified in his heart.

At this time, Wu Xie pointed to the bronze tree in the middle and said: "We have reached the top of the bronze tree, look there."

When everyone looked over, they could faintly see the top of the bronze tree.

There are also many thick plant roots hanging down from the top, enveloping a statue.

Everyone can only see the two arms of the statue, protruding from the root system. There are green moss on the gray arms, giving people an ominous feeling, but the face of the statue has been hidden in the depths of the root system. in the dark.

"Go there, the main tomb should be there." Ye Haochu pointed to the distance.

Everyone has no objection, this crisis-ridden ancient tomb is finally about to be lifted by them for the final veil!
Wang Yueban took out the Flying Tiger Claw and the rope from his backpack. He threw out the Flying Tiger Claw, grabbed it on a root as thick as a python, and pulled it to ensure that the root could hold its strength. Follow the ropes one by one and climb towards the statue.

Soon, everyone came near the statue. The thick roots wrapped around the statue were like cast iron, with a dark brown luster.

Ye Haochu stretched out his hand to touch it, but it felt hard and cold, not like a living thing, but like twisted metal.

Continuing to walk in, there are many root caves formed by thick root chambers, which are more intricate than the terrain of the cave.

They had already walked far away, so they didn't notice that the thick tree roots wrapped around the statue moved slowly, following behind them like thick boa constrictors.

Wu Xie and the others walked in the root cave for a while, when two cave entrances, one bright and one dark, appeared in front of them, and everyone stopped in their tracks.

"Brother Ye, little brother, which one do you think you should choose?"

Ye Haochu didn't speak, but turned around, his eyes slowly scanning the surroundings.

Then, a flash of silvery knife light flashed, a flying knife was thrown out, and it was firmly nailed to the ground, nailing a black shadow to death.

"That thing is here." Ye Haochu drew out a few more throwing knives and reminded Wu Xie and others.

Everyone's hearts tensed suddenly, and a rustling sound suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

Then, black plants as thick as pythons sprang up from the ground!

The little brother suddenly pulled out the ancient black gold knife behind his back, and said in a deep voice, "This is a kind of shady tree: the snake-headed ghost tree!"

"Snake-headed ghost poplar?" Wang Yueban looked pale at the black plant that suddenly jumped up in front of her eyes.

Wu Xie also took a few steps back in fright.

The scene in front of him was really too frightening. Dozens of black tree roots three to four times as thick as a thigh, like a group of snakes, danced wildly in the air, bringing out the whistling sound of the wind.

Those tree roots are like the heads of snakes, trying to devour everyone. If the little brother hadn't said it was a shade tree, Wu Xie would have definitely thought it was another kind of snake, or it was used by the owner of the tomb to guard the tomb Alien beast.
