Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 748 Long Neck
After tying up Zhen Lu Su, our group took a rest and started on the road again. After walking, we went into the evening.According to the observations of the past two days, I found that our direction of travel has always been westward, and it is due west.

This point is actually significant.The Kunlun Mountains have a vast area. Although they are all snow-capped mountains, the internal terrain is actually very complicated, with scattered glaciers and surrounded by snow-capped peaks. It is inevitable for people to walk among them.But now, no matter how we go around, the final direction is heading due west, without any deviation.

That night, we rested on the spot all night, and the wind and snow were blowing at night, everyone took turns to keep watch, and nothing happened.The next morning we continued to set off against the wind and snow. We had traveled for two days in such an environment, the plateau and the cold, but our bodies were exhausted. Even after sleeping all night, our bodies were still heavy.Bai Shuang couldn't bear it anymore, she staggered, I had to support her, but Bai Sanye was too strange, he also showed fatigue, but he still followed our progress closely, he didn't look like a normal old man.

I had always been skeptical about Bai Sanye's identity, but seeing his unusual physical strength now, I felt even more weird.

He knows the statement, knows the mute, and has the idea of ​​Puzhen Secret Treasure. All of this shows that he, our Chen family, and the whole matter must be inseparable.I have a big doubt in my heart, I wonder if he is the shadow of the flying knife Bai Laosi, but helpless, this idea can only be an idea, I don't have any proof.

These thoughts flashed through my mind, and suddenly, I thought of a detail.

Fei Dao Bai Lao Si.

Flying knife!

Yes, Fei Dao, this is Bai Laosi's unique skill.

If he is really the shadow of Bai Lao Si, then he must also have a flying knife. People who are good at using flying knives will have thick calluses on their thumbs and index fingers.Although I have been practicing my throwing knife, this thing is a long-term effort, so my hands have not yet had calluses, but if he is really the shadow of the flying knife Bai Laosi, then there must be clues in my hands.

Moreover, according to grandpa's notes, the fourth white shoots both left and right. When he attacks, he can shoot eight throwing knives at the same time. Basically, it is difficult for those who are targeted by him to retreat.Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Bai Sanye's hands. Unfortunately, we all wear cold gloves, cold masks and windproof sunglasses on our faces. There is almost no skin exposed on the whole body. If you want to see his hands , Only when you have to camp and rest can you find opportunities.

Thinking of this, dragging my tired body, I supported Bai Shuang to move on, keeping this matter in my heart, and when I decided to camp at night, I would find a chance to make sure.Unexpectedly, at around three o'clock in the afternoon, we saw a miraculous scene.

When we turned around a snow-capped mountain bend, an ice-blue lake appeared in front of our eyes.

The Yunlan lake is like a sapphire, inlaid between the snow mountains. On both sides of the lake, there are glaciers that have condensed for thousands of years on one side, and the snow mountains on the other side. The only way for us is between the snow mountains and the lake. A snow track left in between.

"It's so beautiful." After a while, Bai Shuang murmured.

The lake in front of me is very strange. There is a thin layer of ice on the surface. Because of this, no matter how the outside wind blows, the lake is always calm and waveless. The intoxicating blue, misty snow fog, and sunlight filtered by the snow fog , All of these combined together form a scene like a palace in heaven.

At this moment, I even thought, could this be the legendary Immortal Wonderland?
I looked at Lu Su, and there was an expression of admiration and admiration on his face, but that was all, and there was no surprise. From his performance, I knew that this should be just a hidden snow-capped mountain lake, about the same size as Bulao Yaochi. It doesn't matter.

Zhen Lu Su, who was tied up next to him, had a gloomy complexion all the way, and said nothing, but at this moment, the look of amazement on the young face also disappeared, and the gloom disappeared.At this moment, Lu Su patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Look, there are so many beautiful things in this world that you have never seen before. It's so good to be alive. Why do you want to die? There is a saying in Buddhism: Sweeping the floor will not hurt the lives of ants." , take pity on the moth gauze lamp, even moths and ants are precious, let alone human life?"

Zhen Lu Su pursed his lips and did not speak, his eyes were fixed on the lake, not knowing what he was thinking.Sometimes, people feel hopeless just because they focus on a narrow point, but there is a power in nature that can awaken some of people's abilities.

Zhen Lu Su is not a person who is good at hiding, many of his expressions are written on his face, from which I can see a trace of reluctance.For a person who has never lived a good life, everything in front of him is undoubtedly a huge temptation.

I have to admire Lu Su's analysis of the human heart, he knows exactly what to say in any situation.However, at this moment, the real Lu Su was regarded as the fish on his chopping board, and it seemed meaningless to say these words again.

Sometimes I really can't see through this person's thoughts, so I don't want to. I changed the subject and said, "Passing on the snow track? It seems a little dangerous." That snow track is relatively narrow, and I'm worried that there will be snow bubbles down there. It's not a joke to fall into the water if you step on empty space and fall into the water.We had limited manpower and didn't bring much clothing. Although we can swim, getting wet in such a cold place is definitely a big problem.

Once a cold catches a cold, it is likely to be fatal.

Lu Su observed for a while, and said: "The road is too far away, at least one day will be wasted, just pass there."

Bai Sanye glanced at me and said, "Boy Chen, go and open the way."

When Bai Shuang heard the words, she was immediately dissatisfied, and said, "Why send him to go?"

Bai Sanye didn't even raise his eyelids, and said, "Then let me, an old man, go? Or you? Or Lu boy?" Naturally, it is impossible to let a woman and an old man take the lead. He was tied up, so Lu Su spent a lot of time on him along the way, and it was tiring enough. I wasn't someone who just wanted to pick a bargain, so I said, "Be careful and follow me." On, I thought, it would be better if the old man fell into the water at last and drowned.

Bai Shuang frowned sullenly, and said, "Be careful, it's not a joke to get wet in this place." I nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's not my first time entering a snow mountain, I have experience." Immediately afterwards, I took the lead in front, and everyone began to pass the narrow snow path.

However, after walking for a while, I knew that our worries were unnecessary. There could be no snow bubbles in this place, because under the snow layer, there is impressively hard black ice.The ice layer here is likely to be an ancient glacier, the kind that leaves no traces when cut by a knife, and is very strong.

Our vigilant nerves relaxed in this way, and as soon as we relaxed, everyone had something to say, Bai Shuang asked: "How long do we have to go, do you know the exact place?" Of course, this question was for Lu Su .

Lu Su twisted the real Lu Su to walk at the back, heard the words and smiled, tilted his head slightly, and said: "It is said that the water of Bulaoyao Pond flows from the deep ice of thousands of years, and it is a shelter from the sun. If it is said It's true, that fairyland should be located in a place with a big difference in terrain.

Big difference in terrain?In fact, there are many such places in Kunlun Mountains. We have been walking due west, but we have never encountered them so far.

This lake is quite big, and it should be said to be quite long. The vast expanse of blue lake water is intoxicating to the eyes. Coupled with the terrain, the wind here is not violent. It is a rare and comfortable period after we entered the snow-capped mountains.However, there is an old saying that good fortune comes with misfortune, and if things go smoothly all the time, then you have to be careful.

This is indeed true, when we walked halfway, almost everyone saw that a black shadow suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake.Think about it, most people have heard about the Loch Ness monster. In recent years, with the rise of tourism and exploration, many inaccessible alpine lakes in China have been visited by expedition teams and tourists, and there have been many rumors about the monster. legend.

Among them, the Loch Ness Monster is said to have a nose and eyes. Some people describe it as a monster that looks like a long-necked dragon.

But now, the black shadow we see is really like a long-necked dragon. There is a long one in the front. Some people think it is a big snake in the water, but behind it is a big shadow, showing the long-necked dragon. things, and this huge body.

It rose from the bottom of the lake, the shadow gradually became more and more obvious, and then, it quickly approached us.

"Hiss." Bai Shuang gasped, covered her mouth and was so scared that she could hardly make a sound.

I immediately realized that it was not good, and said: "Run!" After speaking, I pulled Bai Shuang and ran away.At this moment we have already walked halfway, there is no difference between running forward and backward, so everyone rushed forward in unison.When other people encounter water monsters, the water monsters always take the lead, let people take two photos and run away. When we arrived, they rushed towards us. This kind of bad luck made me suspect that I have lived a miserable life in the past few months haha Days, did it work on the damn 'inheritance'? Why do I feel like I'm still so unlucky?
