Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 458 Wisdom, call for help

The mineral water bottle was thrown on the ground and bounced for a while before rolling to the side. The distance between this mountain and the mountain in front was about a few kilometers, but the terrain was flatter, but the thorns were all over the place. We wrapped our calves and our hands with clothes Wrapped tightly, Lao Jiu opened the way ahead with a knife in his hand, and Meng Luo and I followed closely behind. Some thorns hung on our legs, and the clothes wrapped around our calves were scraped and torn. At the foot of the mountain ahead, we were no different from the beggars on the street. In fact, we were not as good as the beggars on the street. The beggars on the street were all more decently dressed than us!

Lao Jiu suddenly grabbed the back of his hand, because the cloth was torn, some branches of plants still scratched the skin, and when he grabbed it, there was a bright red, "It's so itchy." A "bloody road" that was fought by Kong Kong: "You can see, it is the same direction as we are going."

That's right, someone had stepped on the thorns before we came in, and we even found blood on some of the thorny branches. These were left by Seventh Sister and Boss Huang and her team, but there is another possibility, the owner of the mineral water bottle, Came in with us and the guy was right in front of us.

Boss Huang came in with some local bosses who deal in strange stones. I inquired about it on the way here. Besides picking up a chicken blood stone, Boss Huang also got a strangely shaped stone from here and put it in the center of his company. This is really strange, Boss Huang is a person who sneaks into the eyes of money. He got a stone and didn't sell it, just as a display. It seems that he likes that stone more than the chicken blood stone that day. Although he is curious, he has no leisure time now. To consider these things, the most urgent task is to find Seventh Sister.

"Lin Tianyi, there is one thing I can't figure out." Lao Jiu stopped, put his hands on his hips, and looked up at the towering mountain in front of him: "Why is it such a coincidence? Of course Xu Qiqi has a way to stick two bloodstones together , put the silkworm chrysalis and amber in it, but how could it be such a coincidence that the thing fell into the hands of Lao Huang, and it was such a coincidence that he delivered it to your shop?"

I smiled lightly: "Actually, it's more than that."

Munro was startled when he heard our words: "What do you mean?"

"Old Huang is in the stone business. He is more professional in the identification of bloodstones than I am." I said, "Isn't it strange to suddenly bring a bloodstone to my palm? He can draw conclusions by himself. Also, seeing The silkworm chrysalis and amber fell out. Although he immediately took possession of it, he gave it up too quickly. This is not in line with the nature of a businessman, especially Lao Huang is a seasoned businessman. It is impossible to give up what he has grabbed so quickly, so this There's something wrong with the guy."

"But we don't have time to entangle with him." Lao Jiu took the words: "We are in a hurry, so we have to let him go first, and then settle the score when we go back."

I nodded, and Munro said, "No wonder, no wonder you two always seem to have something to say, and you don't care to talk to me."

The second half of Meng Luo's sentence was a bit self-pitying, so Lao Jiu patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's not that it's not rare, it's that the three of us are powerless, the main and the secondary are different, for the sake of my brother and my happiness, you feel wronged now." .”

I looked up at the mountain in front of me, and was surprised to find that there was a very narrow road on the mountain. From a distance, it looked like a white ribbon on the mountain. At the top of the mountain, following my eyes, Meng Luo said excitedly, "Is it a mountain road?"

"I don't know, the color doesn't look like it." Lao Jiu said: "The rocks can't be cut in this color, and the workload is not ordinary for such a high mountain. Could it be that someone spent decades digging What? There’s no one in this place, come on, come closer and have a look.”

We continued to move forward and got closer, only to find that the white streamer was actually active and swayed with the wind. They were not mountain roads, but some white plants. The whole plant was pure white, and some were like reeds. About one-third of the place has leaves, but the top leaves of these plants are not like ordinary leaves, they are very soft, like a brush. Whenever the wind comes, the top will tremble, because the area is very large, It spreads very widely, like a thousand troops of fluffy horses coming over, about two meters wide, and the length, as I said just now, directly spreads all over the whole mountain and extends upward to the top of the mountain.

Lao Jiu couldn't help feeling depressed: "I thought it was a good thing."

"It's strange, other places are full of shrubs, and occasionally some taller trees appear, but this place grows such a thing, Lao Jiu, have I seen it before?" I asked.

"I've been traveling all these years, but I've never seen it before." Lao Jiu suddenly said "Huh", approached and said, "It's strange, take a look, there are bite marks on the stems of these things."

Lao Jiu approached, and simply bent over to look at it. At this moment, the trembling of those plants suddenly intensified, and a small thing sprang out from inside and grabbed Lao Jiu's face directly. The gun was aimed at that thing, and it was clearly seen that the bullet shot into the belly of the little thing, and then it was deeply sunken, and the bullet did not pop out, but the little thing was unscathed, and rolled to the side, " "Whoosh" burrowed into those plants and disappeared in an instant. Lao Jiu and I looked at each other. Lao Jiu stretched out his hand and wiped his face, feeling very worried. I said, "No trauma, don't worry."

"These little things are too flexible." Lao Jiu said, "It reminds me of those things in the underground palace under the sea."

No, but compared to those gadgets in the underground palace under the sea, these guys are obviously more flexible, and they seem to have opened their minds. They know how to hide themselves, and quickly evacuate when they encounter an attack, instead of just attacking and driving themselves to a dead end. How many of these things are there under these white hairs?
Lao Jiu suddenly put down his backpack and took out the gunpowder box: "I want to see how many of these things are there, and what's the origin behind these things."

Lao Jiu was determined to use gunpowder. After preparing the gunpowder, he threw the gunpowder in and exploded with a "bang". Those white plants fell down, and the stones below exploded and splashed out. We retreated far away. At the same time, we raised our hands in front of our heads. When the dust settled, we walked over and saw that the bottom of those plants was extremely wet. Naturally, compared with other places, the water in this place was flowing down, and our fingers were immediately wet , Lao Jiu glanced at me, suddenly put his water-stained fingers into his mouth, and tasted it hard: "Well, good water, very sweet feeling."

"Damn it, you're not afraid of poison." I said, "How about it, are you dizzy? Why don't you try it with silver bundles first?"

The old nine smiled strangely, and after a closer look, it turned out that the silver bundle was held in the heart of his left hand, "You old bastard, you know how to scare people." I said angrily, "Fortunately, your brain is not broken."

"Life is precious, you can't make jokes." Lao Jiu said, "I feel a little strange. Why didn't a little thing come out of such a big movement just now? Where did it all go?"

As soon as Lao Jiu's voice fell, Meng Luo picked up a piece of gravel and threw it aside: "It's open here, you see, there are gaps, it doesn't look like it was blasted just now, and the edges are very smooth, so those small things are directly Got in."

"The forest ranger has repeatedly mentioned that there are many caves here, and told us not to go in." I said, "Our goal is to turn over this mountain. If this mountain is full of caves, it means that it is connected. If you want to save time……"

"Go in and find a way to cross the whole mountain. This is the fastest way." Lao Jiu quickly pulled out all the ropes in the bag, and asked Meng Luo to take out the cinnabar: "From now on, we will go everywhere we go." To leave a mark, you must distinguish between those who have been and those who have not been.”

My cell phone rang suddenly, and it was Tao Ran. As soon as the call was connected, Tao Ran said excitedly: "Lin Tianyi, the results of the mental appraisal came out. That guy is completely normal and he must take responsibility. Luo Yahong's grievances have been avenged. A polygraph test was carried out, although the polygraph results cannot be used as evidence, but they can also be used as an auxiliary function in the prosecution, his willpower completely collapsed, and he confessed to the case back then."

"That's great, Tao Ran." For some reason, my voice became hoarse, and I felt speechless.

Tao Ran felt strange, and immediately asked, "Is things not going well?"

"I don't know." I said, "I still don't have a clue after entering the mountain. The signal is getting worse and worse. It's normal if I lose contact."

Tao Ran was silent on the other end of the phone for a moment, and I quickly said, "Hang up if you have nothing to do."

She was not allowed to speak, so I hung up the phone quickly. I don’t know where the feeling of entangled intestines came from just now, and my heart was "thumping", and I felt an inexplicable fear. Life, I will never see Tao Ran again, as long as I think of this, I am afraid, very afraid!
I reached out and wiped my face: "Go in."

But Lao Jiu made a face at me. I followed his gaze and saw some voice coming from the nearby forest. It was far away and I couldn't hear it clearly. I closed my eyes and listened intently, "Help me!" , help!" I shuddered all over: "Someone is calling for help."

"Go and have a look." Meng Luo took the lead and walked towards that area. Lao Jiu and I picked up the things on the ground and followed. Obviously Meng Luo went in first, but he immediately retreated, with a nervous expression on his face. Lao Jiu and I laughed secretly Meng Luo was timid, the voice in front became clearer and clearer, perhaps he heard footsteps outside: "Come on, come on..."

"This voice is so familiar." Lao Jiu frowned and said, "Have you heard it before?"

Munro was the first to react: "This voice is Qiao Mo!"
