Tomb Raider: Invincible Double Pupil, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

Chapter 57: Cornucopia, Underground Lake

Xu Feng lowered his head and pondered.

He remembered clearly that the third one should be on Jin Suanpan.

As for Jin Suanpan, he died in the Longling Cave.

In the original plot, Hu Bayi, Wang Pangzi and Da Jin Ya will find him in the Longling Labyrinth, and not only get his tomb-grabbing talisman, but also another treasure, the fragrant jade.

In fact, scented jade is also a must-have item for tomb raiders. It can emit a rich and charming fragrance, and the drier the environment, the stronger the fragrance. It has the effect of dispelling poisonous insects and evil spirits.

Could it be that Jin Suanpan didn’t die in Longling Labyrinth?
But died in the ancient city of Jingjue?

He shook his head and was too lazy to think about it.

The plot is already a mess, and no one knows whether the skeleton in front of us is the golden abacus.

At this time, the fat man found the package next to the skeleton.

He was about to reach out to open it excitedly.

Suddenly paused.

Then he followed Lao Hu's example, stood further away, and used the demon hunting knife in his hand to pry open the package.

really.

Disturbed by the fat man's demon-hunting knife, countless snakes, insects, rats and ants crawled out of the package.

Zhang Qiling laughed and said, "Fatty, you have learned your lesson."

The fat man smiled proudly: "That's right, you've never eaten pork, but you've seen a pig run?!"

He simply opened the package.

Just dump out everything inside.

They were all tools used for digging into tombs, such as the Luoyang shovel, compass, and tomb-digging claw.

"That's right, this skeleton is also a tomb raider."

Zhang Qiling looked at those things and made a direct judgment.

"What could have killed him?!"

He looked around.

Unfortunately, this was a dense forest with hidden dangers everywhere, and he couldn't see anything.

"It looks like he's been dead for at least a few decades. This forest is so big, how could there still be traces of the murderer?"

Xu Feng said speechlessly.

"Let's keep going, everyone be careful."

Everyone didn't stop for long and continued on their way.

I don’t know how much time passed.

Finally, they were out of the forest.

They passed through several secret doors and arrived at a palace.

The space of this palace is extremely large, just like the hall where ancient emperors held court.

The throne and floor of the hall are made of jade. Although the carved beams and painted pillars have faded, their former splendor can still be seen. There are a few gerbils crawling around in various corners.

Except for a path leading to the throne in the center of the hall, the entire hall is filled with various objects.

Pottery, wood, iron, bronze, silk
Of course, there are also a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

Except for some jade products, all other objects were severely damaged by air erosion.

The best preserved item in the hall is the jade throne.

There is a red jade eye carved on the top of the jade throne. The entire body of the throne is inlaid with gold and silver, and carved with fairy mountains, clouds, flowers, birds, fish, beasts and other objects. The base is a large piece of jade as white as goat's milk, which is particularly eye-catching in the hall which is mainly black.

"Master Xu, are these all divine objects?!"

The fat man's eyes lit up and his old illness came back again.

Xu Feng nodded.

Others were also attracted.

Except for Shirley Yang and Aning, the other four people here can already sense the weak magnetic field of the divine object.

It’s just that these sacred objects are buried in corners and crevices, making it difficult for them to detect them.

But people like Xu Feng, who picked out the sacred objects one by one like picking cabbages, left them stunned.

Give the four things in your hand to the fat man.

Xu Feng turned around again.

I visited every corner of the hall.

When he came back, he was holding three more sacred objects in his hands.

"I go!!!"

“Seven sacred objects?!

The fat man exclaimed.

Zhang Qiling looked at Xu Feng as if he was a monster.

"They are all worthless divine objects. I feel like their properties are terrible."

Xu Feng said.

These fetishes really do suck.

For example, the three magical objects he just brought back.

They are a bronze spear and a glass cup respectively.

[Item Name]: Windbreaker
[Item Level]: Low-grade magical instrument
[Item Ability]: Sharp
[Item Description]: This spear is made using a unique smelting method and is extremely sharp.

[Item name]: Luminous cup

[Item Level]: Low-grade magical instrument
[Item Ability]: Turn water into wine
[Item Description]: Pour in clean water and it can be converted into fragrant wine.

[Item Name]: Huimengxiang

[Item Level]: Low-grade magical instrument
[Item Ability]: Dreaming
[Item Description]: Able to enter other people's dreams.

All of them are low-grade magical instruments.

They are just little gadgets that are of no great use.

The same goes for the four items in the fat man's hand.

Two Feng Shui ornaments, a hypnotic night pearl and a treasure bowl.

The properties of that cornucopia are quite interesting.

[Item name]: Cornucopia

[Item Level]: Medium-quality magical instrument
[Item Ability]: Cash
[Item Description]: You can put anything into the cornucopia, and it will be converted into cash based on the valuation.

It is very user-friendly and can adjust the cash type, including gold, silver, silver notes, treasure notes, and even modern banknotes.

Then throw anything into the basin and it will turn it into cash for you.

Even if you pick up a brick from the roadside and throw it in, you can get a few cents.

pity.

It cannot be directly converted into numbers in a bank account.

Otherwise, Xu Feng was going to throw everything in this hall into this treasure bowl. "It just so happens that Yin Nanfeng has mentioned it several times, asking me to give her some magical items."

"These can be handed in."

Xu Feng looked at them with satisfaction.

After putting all these magical objects into the ring, the fat man suddenly changed from three steps to two.

Ran to the throne and sat down.

"Such a big piece of jade must be worth a lot of money, right?!"

He said excitedly: "It's just too big and hard to move."

Old Hu couldn't stand the fat man's boasting, so he said directly: "Don't think about how to move it back yet, think about how to deal with the Queen of Jingjue first."

The fat man was stunned: "What's the matter?"

"What's going on? This jade throne was where the Queen of Jingjue sat when she was alive. Maybe her ghost is wandering in this underground palace for thousands of years, feeling lonely and isolated."

"You just happened to be sitting here, maybe the queen would see you. She would definitely think, hey, this fat guy is really good, with so much fat all over his body. Well, just keep him as the son-in-law of Jingjue Kingdom, and have a bite to chew on if nothing else."

These words didn't scare the fat man, but they did frighten Shirley Yang.

The fat man froze for a while before he said, "A son-in-law who marries into the family? I have never seen someone as uneducated as you. You think the queen is a widow from the countryside. The queen's husband should be called...what is it called? It seems that it should not be called a concubine, right?"

Shirley Yang saw that the fat man was still talking, and she couldn't help but said angrily: "Call him a eunuch."

Phew!

Xu Feng, Lao Hu and the others all laughed.

The long-lost laughter made the haze hanging over everyone’s heads seem to be lessened.

Several people went to the back hall.

This should be the place where the royal family members rest and live.

The group walked and looked around.

Xu Feng suddenly said, "Listen, is there the sound of running water?"

Suddenly everyone pricked up their ears.

Sure enough, there was the sound of gurgling water not far away. It seemed to be behind the bedroom. So everyone quickened their pace and followed the sound of water to a cave behind the bedroom.

The cave is located at a very low altitude.

We walked very deep down and came to a natural stone cave the size of a golf course.

Although this place is natural, it has obviously been artificially trimmed and the ground is very flat.

There is a small underground lake in the cave. There is a bulge in the lake, like a small island in the middle of the lake. It is only ten square meters in size. The lake is as flat as a mirror and surrounded by it.

"Underground lake?!"

Everyone was surprised again.

No one expected to see such an underground lake underground.

Old Hu walked to the lake and looked out.

The lake is not deep.

There are several colorful little fish swimming in the lake.

"There are fish in this lake, so there must be a spring deep down!"

Old Hu said in surprise.

Suddenly, Xu Feng and the fat man were both delighted.

They all couldn't help but think of the time when they escaped from Sun En's tomb through the spring at the bottom of the pool.

Could it be that the spring of this underground lake can also lead to the outside? !
Just when Xu Feng and the other two were delighted.

Shirley Yang suddenly exclaimed "Huh", her voice full of surprise.

Everyone asked her what was going on.

She pointed with her hand to the small protrusion in the middle of the lake, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then looked over there.

Everyone looked in the direction her finger pointed.

As a result, I saw an incredible scene.

The raised ground in the lake had been covered with a dense layer of green gnats at some point.

There are tens of thousands of these gnats.

They lay on the raised ground in the lake, and many of their bodies began to change color.

Then one by one they crawled out of their shells. There seemed to be a lot of fluorescent light on their bodies after molting, shining as brightly as the stars in the sky. The insects stretched out their newly acquired wings, and in a while they would be able to fly into the sky.

At this moment, countless big rats rushed into the cave from all directions.

They were not afraid of humans at all. They ignored Xu Feng and the others and rushed forward one after another, jumping into the lake without hesitation. They rushed into the water and scrambled to climb up the ridge in the center of the lake. They greedily grabbed the insects that had just shed their shells and kept putting them into their mouths to eat. They devoured everything in a flash and ate them all up in a moment.

After the big rats had eaten their fill, they swam back to the shore and finally dispersed.

Everyone was horrified by what they saw.

Especially Shirley Yang and Aning, their faces turned pale with fright.

I guess they have never seen so many bugs and rats in their entire lives.

"Damn, these mice are so amazing, they can even eat bugs?!" This should be a miniature food chain. The mice eat the bugs, and the bugs live in the water and reproduce rapidly."

"Can you two stop talking about this? It's disgusting. Let's not stay here. Let's go somewhere else."

Shirley Yang scolded.

Lao Hu and Fatty shut up immediately.

Xu Feng was thinking: "Aren't the mice and bugs just now a plot in the original novel?"

"Am I returning to the original plot?!"

Because of the mice.

Xu Feng and the other two decided not to explore the spring for the time being.

Let's take a look at the surrounding situation first.

After a round, everyone decided to continue searching for the underground river deeper into the cave.

They walked along the passage.

There are many man-made stone chambers on both sides of this passage, all equipped with iron fences and locked with big locks. There are many torture instruments inside. It seems that they were used to detain prisoners. Now they have become rat nests, and the ground is covered with black rat feces.

Walk into the passage in the cave for several hundred meters.

A dry underground river lies across the entrance of the cave.

There is another large cave on the other side of the river, connected by a black stone bridge.

The bridge is built of black stone.

Wuyin Stone.

Xu Feng could tell at a glance that the material used to cast the bridge was exactly the same as the casting material in the Nine-story Demon Tower.

"How about it, do you want to go over and take a look?!"

The fat man looked at the cave opposite and asked.
