Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 705 Don't look back

The temperature dropped so suddenly that I and the lazy guy couldn't help shivering. At this time, the surrounding area was still dark, and we couldn't see those strange heads, and couldn't hear any movement. The only thing that changed It is temperature.

The lazy guy hissed, signaling me not to stop and follow the original plan.I said, "Is it really possible to walk out like this?"

The lazy guy said: "We can't rely on ourselves, we have to rely on him." The him that the lazy guy said naturally refers to Chen Tiande, but in such a dangerous situation, I have some doubts whether Chen Tiande will come back.While talking, the two of us walked forward without stopping, but this place seemed to have no end. In the extremely cold state, I was shivering from the cold, and my joints were almost stiff.

Are these ghosts planning to freeze us to death?

At this time, the lazy guy said: "This is not the cold air, but the Yin air gathered together. We can't stay in this place for too long, otherwise the consequences will be serious." It's the kind of half-baked guy, naturally unlike those big experts who dug up priceless treasures.Those individual tourists don't have the ability to observe mountains and rivers, or look at the soil to identify holes, so they dig small graves, and the things are not very valuable, so they often fight for their livelihood.

Due to the long duration, no matter it is Yin Qi or corpse Qi, they are highly contaminated, and at the age of five or sixty, almost all the joints of the body are deformed.

There are the most such loose thieves, but most of them will change careers halfway, and use the accumulated funds to make other livelihoods. Only those who are stupid or will not come to trouble will go all the way to the dark.And now, we are surrounded by this kind of powerful Yin Qi, if we stay for a long time, we will suffer from the same root cause.

The feeling of the darkness is very bad. I couldn't help but flick the switch of the flashlight, but it still couldn't be turned on, so I took out the lighter again.To my surprise, the lighter ignited, but the flame was faint green and flickering.

The lazy man noticed the light, looked back at me, and then stared at the lighter in my hand. The light was weak, and we could only see each other's bluish face, which looked very oozing.

He said: "We have to stay for a while longer and find a way to keep warm."

This time it's not a bucket, and we didn't carry anything like solid fuel, so after thinking about it, we don't know what to order.Suddenly, I thought of the human heads in those jars, and a thought came to my mind: those refined evil spirits all rely on the human heads in those jars, if those heads are destroyed, wouldn’t it be...

But then I thought about it, now we are in a dark place where we can’t see the head from the left to the right, and from the front to the back. Those clay pots have disappeared, how can I find them?I shared my thoughts, and the lazy guy said, "They won't give us this chance."

As soon as the words fell, the lighter in my hand suddenly went out as soon as the flame jumped.Then, my ankle was suddenly grabbed by something.That thing looks like a human hand, and it also looks like a thick vine, wrapping all the way up the leg.

I was startled and wanted to struggle, the lazy guy said: "Fake, ghosts are good at using this to confuse people's hearts." There was a sound of breaking through the air, and then the thing that quietly wrapped my legs disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed.I reckoned that the lazy guy pulled out the knife, and his knife was inlaid with a very powerful dzi bead, and he touched the big yellow duck's neck to seal the little devil.

But I know in my heart that the knife of the lazy guy is not very useful. If we can get out with this knife, we won't be trapped until now.

Could it be that we can only wait for Chen Tiande to come and join us?

I was uncertain, when suddenly, a hoarse dog barked in the darkness.The sound was very clear, and it came from our right side. When I heard the sound, Lazy and I were refreshed. This time, we didn't hesitate anymore and immediately ran towards the place where the barking sound came from.

Therefore, within a square inch, there is no hole in the sky, which is most likely to describe the current scene. The place that was originally dark, we just moved three or five steps, and we can see things immediately. The black hole before appeared in front of us again.

This time, I saw Chen Tiande sitting under the black hole, on the ground in front of him, there was a huge yellow table paper with twisted vermilion words on it, and Xiaobao was right next to him, facing us barking.

This time, Chen Tiande didn't call us. He just sat cross-legged, eyes closed, muttering words, his face dripping with sweat, looking extremely hard.Lazy and I were about to jump down, when suddenly another voice from Chen Tiande appeared again: "Don't believe it, that's a clay pot!"

I shuddered, but this time I was no longer bewitched, and jumped down resolutely, but the next moment, the voice suddenly shouted: "Don't go, it's all an illusion, the people around you are not people!" The voice was like thunder It sounded in my ear, and the lazy guy obviously heard it too. In the darkness, he suddenly grabbed my arm and said, "Don't be confused by these ghosts. Chen Tiande must have used some kind of secret technique to open up this passage. Let's see how long he can't last, let's go."

I didn't notice it before, but when I heard the sound just now, I suddenly felt that the hand of the lazy man was very stiff.

This feeling made my heart skip a beat, I clasped his hand behind my back, only to feel that the hand was cold as if it was not alive.In fact, I myself am also cold at the moment, but for some reason, the lazy stuff makes me feel even more wrong, and my intuition tells me that there is something wrong with it.

I calmly took a step back.

The lazy man noticed my retreat, and the hand holding my arm tightened suddenly, and then, the feeling of being wrapped in Yin Qi suddenly became stronger.I immediately lit the lighter, and just as the flame was on, I realized that the face of the lazy man hidden in the darkness turned out to be faintly blue.

He obviously didn't expect that I would suddenly take out the lighter, his expression changed, and the color on his face instantly returned to normal, but this was enough for me to understand the truth.But at this time, the barking of the dog in the cave became more intense, and my arm was grabbed by the lazy guy. When I looked closely, the hand was black and stiff, like a fried rice dumpling.

My reaction was fast enough, and I immediately kicked it out. Unfortunately, this kick passed through the chest of the 'lazy guy'.How could it be possible to kick soft rice dumplings?
Lazy realized that he was exposed and stopped pretending. His whole face suddenly became hideous, and his body disappeared suddenly, turning into a blue human head.And the black hole in front of me is still there, but Chen Tiande in that hole has already raised his head, and it is also a faint blue head!
It's really an illusion!
I suddenly felt a strong fear, because I have been staying with a ghost just now, and this ghost wants to lure me to stick my head into the clay pot?
My scalp tingled for a while, staring at the blue head in front of me, I turned around and ran away.At this time, another Chen Tiande shouted: "Yes, come here, come here quickly, run forward!" In fact, at this moment, my eyes are completely dark, and there are countless things like human hands in the process of running. Come and grab my feet, tripping me again and again, the force is even so strong that I can't get up at all.

I thought of the dzi bead in my hand, and immediately swung it like a whip, and whipped it on my leg. Once I whipped it, those hand-like things disappeared.The blue human head behind me has been following me closely, hanging above my head, staring straight at me, but it doesn't make any other movements, it seems to be a little afraid of the dzi in my hand.

Now I have to thank the lazy guy for getting me such a thing when I came down. In fact, I don’t have many things to ward off evil spirits. The string of mahogany beads that my grandfather gave me has suffered too many blows. There are cracks on each bead. Several subsequent experiences also proved that its ability to ward off evil seems to have weakened and disappeared along with the damage.

There are a lot of so-called evil-proof objects in the world, but most of them are fakes. For things like dzi beads, which can be encountered but not sought after, not everyone is as lucky as lazy ones.

I leaned on this string of things to crawl and roll all the way, and then I heard Chen Tiande's voice becoming more and more urgent: "Quick, quick, the time is almost up, run faster."

time?What time?
I was puzzled, but I didn't dare to stop. There was almost a gap of two steps, and I felt a sudden light in front of me. There was a passageway in front of me, and at the entrance, stood Chen Tiande, Lazy and That spiritual pet.Chen Tiande was overjoyed, gestured at me suddenly, and said, "Don't look back, come quickly." When he said this, I felt a lot of slippery things drilling into my neck, and all the way down, Climbing on the back, the feeling is not so disgusting.

I endured the desire to look back, and I was about to reach Chen Tiande's side. Suddenly, a pair of hands stretched out from behind me and grabbed my clothes tightly. Then I heard a familiar voice. voice: "Help!"

Tofu!

Under the strong shock, I almost turned back subconsciously, but soon I realized that the tofu could not be in this kind of place, so I beat back the dzi bead in my hand, and the hand that was pulling my clothes It was released in an instant.I rushed to Chen Tiande's side with a stride, and he quickly grabbed my shoulder and pulled me over.Only then did he say, "Take a look back."
