Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 383 Fire Scythe
I stared at the worm's blue wings, forced myself to calm down, and asked Mengmeng: "Can it judge the position of the zongzi?"

Mengmeng guessed and didn't expect that as soon as the insect was released, it would come out like this. First, it was taken aback, then it nodded quickly, and with a flick of the finger, the insect spread its blue wings and flew in the air. She stared at it. Listening to the movement of the bugs, he explained: "The fire sickle is not suitable for cold environments. Its lifespan is three years, but in cold environments, it only lasts for one hour. I originally planned to let it warn us so that we can avoid the heavenly soldiers. Now it seems that... the Heavenly Soldiers may be approaching."

The scythe was flying in the air, then suddenly turned around and stopped behind us, which is where we came from.

Mengmeng's expression changed, and he said: "The ones following up from behind, no good, the two of them..."

My heart sank, and I said no way, could it be that the two old smokers are so unlucky that they met zongzi just after returning home?Before I could think too much, there was a sound of footsteps in the ice cave, followed by two figures rushing over.

I took a look, isn't it the old smoker and black loach who just left?These two people ran towards us like a gust of wind, their faces were not to mention ugly, while running, the old smoker shouted: "Hurry up, hide quickly, that thing is coming after you."

what?
Before everyone could react, Mengmeng had already taken the lead to hide in an ice cave. Since he was escaping for his life, he naturally chose the largest one in the ice cave, which was big enough for people to run in.When Mengmeng ran, the scythe was still flying, and its wings had turned very blue. Then, it fell to the ground and remained motionless.

Didn't it take an hour to die?

how so fast?
At this time, the two old smokers had already run to us, but there was nothing behind them. The old smoker and Hei Niqian didn't stop at all, they ran with Mengmeng.I thought to myself that although the two of them don't have any great skills, they wouldn't be so frightened in ordinary situations. It's probably because something terrible happened.

Is it the Celestial Soldiers or something else?
I don't want to think about it now, Lu Su, Tofu, and I also started to run, but Youyoujizi was weak and quickly fell behind. While running, I looked back, but I didn't see anything substantial. s things.

Tofu shouted as he ran, "I said loach... what the hell is it? Let's chase after it. Why are you so scared like your grandson?"

Black Loach doesn't have the energy to speak, as if being chased by a ghost, only a word came from a distance: "Inside the ice, inside the ice."

in the ice?I looked down at the ice wall next to me, and there was only my own shadow flashing along with the light inside. Where is there anything?But at this moment, Jizi at the back suddenly let out a scream.

"Ah...!" The voice was terrified, as if seeing something extremely terrifying.I couldn't help but stop, and turned my head to look, only to see Jizi fell to the ground, looking terrified and trying to get up.I guess it was because the ice surface was too slippery, the more I struggled, the more I couldn't stand up.

It's impossible for me to let her go at this moment, so I can only turn around and prepare to get her up.Unexpectedly, when I ran to her side, I suddenly found that there were countless ghost-like things in the ice wall around Jizi. Ying stretched out his hand and grabbed Jizi's leg tightly, and Jizi's leg was covered with a thick layer of ice in this moment.

The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped sharply, as if these few steps were another world.If the feeling of staying in the ice cave was cold before, then now it is cold to the bone.Could it be that the fire sickle died suddenly because of the sudden drop in temperature?
The reason for the drop in temperature is obviously closely related to the things in these ice layers. It seems that the zongzi mentioned by the Huo Sickle warning just now should refer to the things in these ice walls.They remind me of the bald head with blue face and white eyes I saw in the ice cone. They all have one thing in common, that is, they are not just a shadow, they seem to be able to come out of the ice layer.

But at this moment, I didn't care too much, and immediately pulled out the umbrella knife at my waist and chopped it at the hand that grabbed Jizi's calf.

I'm not sure if the umbrella knife in my hand will work against soft rice dumplings, but it's better than doing nothing.The umbrella knife directly passed through the arm that seemed to be substantial, and it didn't have any effect at all.At the same time, the owner of the arm, that black ghost hidden in the ice, opened his black mouth wide in anger, and then rushed towards me fiercely.This speed was very fast, I only felt a black shadow in front of my eyes, and then a particularly cold air covered my body.

It was an indescribable cold, people who were so cold couldn't open their eyes, and their breathing stopped, as if the oxygen in the air had turned into ice slag, making it hard to breathe.At this moment, I felt darkness, suffocation, and extreme cold, and it was difficult to make a sound, only my hearing remained.At this time, I heard Tofu's exclamation and clang. I was familiar with my voice, it was the sound of Lu Su drawing his sword.

This feeling of suffocation and coldness didn't last long, and it disappeared soon. The moment my vision recovered, I saw Lu Su's Ghost Crying Knife, with a sharp and cold blade, hanging in it less than half a centimeter from my forehead. .

From the shiny knife, I saw my own reflection, a layer of icy slag had been frozen on my face, and part of the exposed skin had turned blue.I knew in my heart that Lu Su had saved us again. If we didn't have this super capable person to escort us in this operation, we really don't know how miserable it would be.But at this moment, Mengmeng and the others had already run away without a trace.As soon as Lu Su put the knife away, the smile on his face had already faded, and for the first time his tone seemed urgent: "Get up."

Of course I knew to get up quickly, but I tried to freeze it, and my body was still very cold, frozen, and I couldn’t move my fingers, and it was the same with Yoshiko. The leg that was caught was like a cripple, completely lost perception.

Lu Su clicked his tongue, squatted down and carried Jizi on his back.Tofu reacted very quickly, took off his coat, wrapped it around me, carried me on his back, and ran behind Lu Su.The ghosts swimming in the ice still did not disappear, swaying in the ice layer with their teeth and claws, chasing us, and gradually, the sound of howling ghosts and wolves could be heard in the ice cave.

It was almost difficult for me to turn my neck. When I glanced into the ice hole, I saw a ghost figure had already got its head out of the ice hole. .

With my back on my back, Tofu exerted all her energy, walking like flying, panting.Seeing that the thing was about to come out, I said, "Put hard, it will come out."

Tofu howled: "Fuck, you're giving birth, you can come out with a lot of effort."

Lu Su in the front was faster, and Jizi was lighter, and there was only one figure left, so he heard Lu Su's voice from the front: "These things can't kill you, don't be caught by them, hurry up and find one!" safe place."

Tofu finally got angry and yelled, and the speed was faster, but he couldn't speak anymore.Unexpectedly, at this moment, the entrance of the hole in front of him suddenly became narrower, and the further he went, the smaller and smaller he was, gradually he had to arch his back, and the speed naturally dropped.At this time, my neck was already able to move. Looking back, the thing on the ice wall had already protruded from the whole body. Only a pair of feet were still hidden in the ice layer, but the body was as soft as bones, and it moved forward. Not to mention how weird the situation is.

At this moment, Tofu suddenly squatted on the ground and let go of his hand.With this strength, I was thrown forward and slid a long distance in the slippery ice hole.Only then did I realize that the entrance of the ice cave was radiating, and the further I went, the narrower the opening was. Tofu saw that he could not run away with me on his back, so he came out like this and pushed me out.

As soon as I stopped, Lu Su, who was already waiting in front, pulled me back, stuffed me in the back with Jizi, and said, "You guys continue to climb forward, and I will meet Brother Dou." I was thrown out, but my speed was delayed, and I was thrown onto my back by that thing, silently, a layer of ice slag spread rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, I don't know what happened.

I was very anxious, but I also knew that only Lu Su could save the tofu at this time, those ghost things in the ice, ordinary weapons would not work, I was afraid that Lu Su's Ghost Crying Knife, there was no need for me to worry about it right now.In order not to hold back, Jizi and I started to crawl forward along the ice cave with all our strength, but our bodies were stiff and our speed was a bit slow.

After a while, Lu Su followed and said, "This place is safe."

I turned my head and saw that the tofu was in the shape of a popsicle, silent, like a dead person.My heart sank, and I said, "We need to warm him up quickly." Lu Su said, "Look for a spacious place to light a fire to keep warm. If I'm not mistaken, those things should be 'trapped corpses'."

I couldn't help but be surprised when I heard this, there are many methods of trapping corpses, the two corpses we saw in the Yashan Palace before is one of them, it is a method of using corpses to form a formation.Those ghosts in the ice wall are probably trapped corpses. The corpses are arranged in formations, and the ghosts are trapped in the ancient tomb of Xuanbing, forming this kind of evil spirits that walk in the ice.

I said: "This Puzhen is really powerful, heavenly soldiers, trapped corpses, what will come next?"

Lu Su smiled wryly, and said: "I have already understood that this maze is the first level. Heavenly soldiers and trapped corpses are everywhere. It is not easy to pass through it safely." Now, we have entered a whole world. In a room full of poisonous insects, they are scattered and hidden in every corner. You never know where you will meet them and be bitten severely.
