Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 665: Swallowing Silkworms
The scene in front of them made everyone exclaim in unison, Cyclops and I were even more unambiguous, the bullets can be fired hard, anyway, it's not me who buys the bullets, so I can't care about saving.Soon, the lunatic was shot into a hornet's nest by us, but to my surprise, even after it became a hornet's nest, it was still moving, and rushed towards us at an extremely fast speed.

The lunatic obviously held a grudge, or he remembered the lazy guy, so he was the first to rush towards the lazy guy.At this time, I discovered that behind the lunatic, the 'hand' that had been cut off had grown back.

The lazy guy was very energetic at the critical moment. When he saw the thing rushing towards him, he drew his knife without saying a word.He didn't hide either, the moment he was thrown to the ground, the knives in his hands were staggered from left to right, and in an instant, the head was chopped off, and Gululu rolled aside.

At the same time, a gust of hot blood spewed out from the broken neck, all splashing on the lazy man's face.

The lunatic on the ground stopped moving, and the hand behind his back fell limply to the ground as if he had exhausted all his strength.The lazy guy came out from under the corpse calmly, a large amount of blood almost covered most of his face, but it was obvious that the lazy guy didn't care.He conveniently took out the cloth that he usually used to wipe knives, wiped it casually on his face a few times, and then said: "I probably won't survive this time."

But at this moment, the scene of the lazy guy beheading the lunatic just now was replaying in my mind.The reason why this clip keeps replaying, of course, is not because of how domineering the lazy guy's action is, but because I have only seen that posture of cutting the head from side to side before, and that is Wu Shui!

Back then, when he met the skinless corpse in Xu Fu's tomb on Space-Time Island, Wu Shui did the same, holding the knife in both hands, cutting inwards from left to right at the same time, and then cut off the opponent's body in an instant.Lazy guy's action just now was almost exactly the same as Wu Shui's.

The same action, the same knife, could it be a coincidence?

No.

I gave a negative answer in my heart.

This cannot be a coincidence, there is no such coincidence in the world.

What is the relationship between lazy goods and Wu Shui?
Once this question took root in my mind, it grew uncontrollably.At this time, the lazy man had already sheathed his knife, kicked the corpse on the ground, shook his head and said, "It seems that the thing on his back should be a parasite, and I don't know if he will come back to life." As he spoke, he looked at the stunned people around him, yawned and waved his hands and said, "Okay, don't even look at it, it's safest to burn this corpse, hurry up and clean up a place to burn the corpse."

This area is all meadows. If the fire is directly ignited, the entire pasture will burn. Therefore, we had to use tools such as shovels to shovel out an open space, and then put the hay on the open space, put the corpse on the hay, and then set fire.

It's not the first time I have burned a corpse, but every time I smell the smell of burning corpses so unsuspectingly, it still makes people feel sick to the stomach.The smell is actually not too bad, it smells like barbecue for a long time, but the smell of burnt human flesh is inhaled all the way to the lungs along the nasal cavity, which hints to people that it is very disgusting.

Everyone covered their mouths and noses and retreated to the edge. It took more than half an hour for the fire to be completely extinguished. There were only some unburned black bones left in the open space, and grass ash was added to condense into charred black bonfires. pimple.

During the whole process, the photographer who impressed me the most was the photographer. It was obviously the first time he faced such a scene. At the beginning, he vomited and the sky was dark. After a while, he couldn’t wait to set up the camera to shoot. In his words : This kind of shooting opportunity of burning people to death in person is probably only once in a lifetime. It would be a pity not to take pictures.

Now that the fire was burnt out, the photographer moved closer to take a picture of the pile of ashes, saying it was a documentary photo.But the lazy guy was one step ahead of him, squatting down to the ashes and said, poking at the pile of charred things with a knife.At this moment, a finger-thick and about twenty centimeters long was picked out from the ashes.

It was scorched black all over, but it wriggled like a pitch-black ballworm, and looked very disgusting.The thing is very small, and there are several forks at one end. If you look closely, it looks like a shrunken human hand.

I immediately realized that this shrunken thing was probably what was behind the madman.In the words of lazy people, this thing can be parasitic, and after being parasitic on a person, that person becomes an 'immortal body', that's why the lunatic suddenly 'resurrects'.

I didn't expect that even the corpse was burned into lumps, and this thing still has vitality. If the photographer just walked over rashly, God knows what will happen.

But at this moment, the wriggling thing was nailed by the lazy man with a knife and nailed to the ground.It struggled to escape, its whole body was cut into two by the blade in an instant.

Lazy didn't seem to have expected this scene either, showing surprise on his face, he immediately pulled out his knife, however, it was already too late.The thing that was divided into two, like a leech, couldn't die at all, but turned into two, jumped up from the ground suddenly, one left and one right, and shot at the people closest to it.

And these two people, one is a photographer and the other is a lazy guy.

Rao is a lazy guy who reacted quickly, but he couldn't hold back this move, and he couldn't dodge it in time, and the thing stuck to his forehead in an instant.The lazy man's expression suddenly became ferocious.But his next move surprised us even more. With a wave of his right hand, he slashed off from his forehead. There's that thing that just climbed up to the forehead.

The thing fell on the ground with its leather and flesh, and there were a lot of hair-like tentacles where it was connected to the flesh. In an instant, I realized that if it wasn't for the lazy guy who was quick to move, these tentacles would probably be with me. His head grew together.

The lazy guy peeled off a piece of skin on his forehead, and his expression was distorted by the pain. For the first time, hideous and painful emotions appeared on that face that was sometimes serious and sometimes lazy. Immediately afterwards, he stepped on it with his foot The thing on the ground, at the same time, shouted at us without looking back: "Bring a bottle."

Team Liu on one side reacted quickly enough, and immediately threw a plastic bottle to Lazy.The lazy guy used a knife to tie up the thing he stepped on on the ground, then threw it into a plastic bottle and tightly closed the lid.

At the same time, the photographer had better luck. Because he was far away, he had time to dodge. The thing missed his body, but hit his camera equipment, and was bounced to the ground.The photographer felt sorry for his camera, and in a fit of rage, he didn't care about his fear. He picked up a stand and hit the thing on the ground, and the thing he hit kept thumping.

The lazy guy finished disposing of the things in his hands, and then did the same thing, grabbing the other one into the bottle as well.

After the two things were put together, they soon fused together and became one.Obviously, they can only parasitize in the flesh, but there is nothing they can do about this plastic bottle.At this time, the lazy guy threw the bottle to me and asked me to keep it, and then he took out the wound medicine to bandage himself.

At this moment, a piece of skin was missing from his entire forehead. The feeling must have been extremely painful. After a while, he healed the wound, wrapped a piece of white gauze on his forehead, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, signaling everyone to leave.

Lazy made two shots in a row, and everyone was stunned. Even Liu Dui, who has always been strong, was speechless at this moment, obediently obeying Lazy's orders.

Everyone had to move on, and the remaining part of the journey was safe and sound. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, we finally reached the foot of the mountain.

The altitude here is already a bit high, and the snow cover area on the ground has increased, one by one, looking up the mountain, the red pine branches are covered with frost and snow, the snow and fog in the mountains are transpiring, and the shrubs in the forest have not yet faded their greenness. Small berries of various colors have become food for animals. From time to time, squirrels carrying food for the winter can be seen, and their dexterous bodies pass by the trees.

At this moment, there is no snow at the bottom of the mountain, and only the top of the mountain with higher altitude has snow. Team Liu rubbed his hands and said to us: "In another month, this place will be blocked by snow. It's just right for us to come now. Alright, everyone, sit down and rest, and I will tell you about the search range by the way."

Everyone sat around, resting their feet while listening to Team Liu's explanation.

I didn't ask about the lazy guy, because there are so many people around now that it's inconvenient to ask, and secondly, I've known the lazy guy for a while, and I asked him about the origin of the knife and the dumb person, But he said he didn't know. Obviously, he had some purpose, so he lied.

Even if I ask him now, I guess what I get is just a lie.After thinking about it, I decided to observe for a while to see if he had other flaws.

Wen Min was probably still angry about what happened before, so he didn't speak much.I have a lot of sweet words to comfort the girl, but at this time, I can't use them on her. I just feel that my throat is stiff, and it seems that nothing is right.

In desperation, he could only put it aside for the time being and listen to Team Liu's explanation.

This generation used to be one of the birthplaces of the ancient Shu civilization. According to the information collected by Team Liu, there used to be an ancient city called 'Swallowing Silkworm'. According to legend, the holy object of the ancient Shu Kingdom, the Sky Eye, was placed in this ancient city.

But later, the ancient city disappeared strangely. According to legends, they used the eyes of the sky to go to another world. According to Team Liu's speculation, it is very likely that some geological disasters occurred, causing the ancient city to sink , forming a scene of disappearing overnight.

Of course, all of this is speculation. In fact, no one can give a definite answer to whether the ancient city of Tuncan really exists here. What we have to do now is to use our professional ability to find possible underground relics.

The entire investigation process will last for half a month. Team Liu divided the mountain into nine areas. We need to complete the exploration of the nine areas within this half month. If we can find the ruins of the ancient city, then we can proceed to the next operation. On the contrary, when the investigation is over, everyone will go back to their respective homes and find their own mothers.
