Tomb Raider: I, at the beginning, took Fatty Lao Hu as my younger brother

Halfway down, the fat man encountered an accident as expected. He stepped on empty air and fell rapidly.

When the fat man fell next to Zhou Xun, Zhou Xun grabbed the falling fat man.

"Be careful, hold on to the rope, watch your step, and don't be afraid."

After the fat man stood firm, Zhou Xun let him go.

Chapter 19: Disappearance of Shirley Yang

"I'm fine, thank you, Mr. Zhou, you saved my life again." After grabbing the rope, the fat man hurriedly thanked him.

"We are all brothers, don't say that." Zhou Xun said and descended quickly.

"Are you okay, Xiao Wang?"

"Fatty, are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" the fat man shouted.

The fat man scared everyone, but they also realized the danger.

519124243 Linglong

After a while, everyone began to land.

"Ah! A body, there is a body over there."

Xiao Sa was shocked and exclaimed loudly.

When everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw a body leaning against the rock wall. The body was wearing foreign clothes and boots, and holding a pistol in its hand.

Shirley Yang looked at the familiar clothes, walked forward, squatted down and observed them carefully.

Then he took the gun from the corpse's hand, skillfully removed the magazine, checked whether it was usable, and found three more magazines from the bag and put them all away.

"Xiao Hu, is he your comrade-in-arms?" the fat man asked in a low voice.

"No, the clothes are completely different." Lao Hu responded.

"They should be people from my father's expedition team. Their equipment is similar. I've seen them before." Shirley Yang put away her pistol, stood up and explained.

"Then why did this person die here?"

"It was definitely not an attack by fireflies. They would leave ashes after the attack. But in my opinion, this is not bad news. At least it can prove that the signal positioning you received before was accurate." Old Hu looked at Xue Liyang and said.

"Yes!" Shirley Yang couldn't help but feel relieved.

If the signal positioning is correct, then we will soon be able to find the notebook that records the ancient city of Jingjue.

"Everyone, please pay attention. Don't be too scattered. At the same time, no matter what strange things you see, or whether it is a demon or a ghost, you must stay calm and don't make a fuss. This can easily kill everyone. Do you understand?"

Zhou Xun reminded again before leaving.

"understand!"

Everyone set off, with Zhou Xun leading the way.

After walking for a while.

Everyone began to pant.

"This is due south. This gap should be the gap between two mountains. This is due east. If we go further, we will be directly below the glacier."

Professor Hao explained to everyone as he walked.

Soon, the path was covered with mica.

"Wow! So many micas." Xiao Sa said a little surprised.

"What male and female?" the fat man asked curiously.

"It's not an animal, it's a crystal. Look, mica and crystal usually grow in the same stratum, just like these." Professor Hao heard the fat man's uneducated words and explained helplessly while shining a flashlight on a piece of mica and crystal.

"The dark color of these micas indicates that the geographical location where they are added is also very deep. The reason why we can see them at such an altitude is entirely due to the movement of the earth's crust."

When Fatty Wang heard Professor Hao describe these micas as so strange, he stopped and looked at them carefully, and even knocked on them with his pickaxe.

“Is this thing worth money?”

The fat man looked at these micas and asked loudly to the people who were walking away.

Zhou Xun was also speechless when he heard the fat man's words. He said that it grew together with the crystal. Do you think it is valuable?

Then they walked a little further and entered a tunnel.

Ga Wa walked from the back to the front and asked Lao Hu: "Brother Hu, have you been here before?"

"I'll tell you slowly after we get out." Lao Hu responded while looking around.

"Okay, then it's settled, Brother Hu!" Gawa Wa said with a smile.

After passing through the tunnel, you will see an underground river.

"Everyone, let's rest here for a while. I'll go explore the way first." Zhou Xun said.

Just getting ready to go down to the river.

"Captain Zhou, something bad has happened. Miss Yang is missing." Ga Wa ran over in panic.

"Didn't I tell you to take care of things from behind? Why are you running up front to chat nonsense?" the big guy scolded angrily.

"Don't panic. There was no danger along the way. Everyone should be fine." Zhou Xun comforted.

Zhou Xun knew that Shirley Yang was going to look for something, but he had no interest in it at all. The biggest secret of Shirley Yang was nothing more than the curse, and the thing she was looking for was probably the clue to the ancient city of Jingjue.

Sure enough, not long after Zhou Xun finished speaking, Shirley Yang slowly walked out of the tunnel.

"You're back, you're back!" Professor Chen was instantly relieved when he saw Shirley Yang coming back.

"Hey, where have you been, Sister Yang? You scared us to death."

Gao Wa looked at Shirley Yang who was walking towards him and asked anxiously.

Shirley Yang's disappearance for such a short time scared him to death. If something happened to Shirley Yang, it would be a serious crime!

"Oh, I just saw it was beautiful over there, so I went over to take a few photos. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain myself when I return to the magazine." Shirley Yang began to lie seriously.

"Xue Li, you scared everyone. Be sure to tell everyone if there is anything next time." Professor Chen looked anxious and quickly reminded her.

"I'm sorry for making everyone worry." Shirley Yang also knew that this was not good and began to admit her mistake.

"Are you hiding from us on purpose? Did you find out something?" the fat man asked Shirley Yang, staring at her.

Fatty suspected Shirley Yang of having bad intentions from the beginning, and his suspicion grew deeper along the way.

"No."

"Okay Fatty, whatever she finds out is her business and none of our business. We just need to lead her to find the Jingjue Ancient City."

"Everyone, continue to rest. We will have to wade across the river later." Zhou Xun said.

Chapter 20: The Terrifying Nine-Story Demon Tower

Everyone was indeed tired after the journey, so they sat down and started drinking water to replenish themselves.

"Everyone, come here quickly, there are new discoveries here!" During the break, Professor Chen couldn't sit still. He took the flashlight and looked around. He actually found some things.

When everyone heard this, they stood up and walked over, and found some strange symbols on the rock wall.

"Lao Hu, what is this word?" asked the fat man.

"How would I know? But why does it look so familiar?" Lao Hu asked puzzledly.

"The text on it is Ghost Cave Script, which is the same as the text on the jade on Fatty's body. Ghost Cave Script is also the text of the Jingjue Kingdom."

Zhou Xun explained to the two of them.

"I didn't expect that there were characters from the Jingjue Kingdom on my jade. No wonder you said, Mr. Zhou, that this is jade from the Jingjue Kingdom." The fat man said in surprise.

"Comrade Xiao Zhou, do you know Guidongwen?" Professor Chen asked hurriedly.

"I know some of them, so I said at the beginning that the fat man's jade is closely related to the ancient city of Jingjue." Zhou Xun said.

Zhou Xun has a skill of Historical Proficiency +9. Although he doesn't know all the historical events, he still knows most of the events and texts.

"Then can you help us translate Comrade Xiao Wang's jade, or what is written on this rock wall?" Professor Chen requested.

It’s not Professor Chen’s fault. Until now, no one knows the Guidongwen.

"Of course you can. The words "Eye of the Serpent God" are written on the Fatty Jade." Zhou Xun then looked at the words on the rock wall and said, "It says on the rock wall that this is the sacrificial text used by the ancient Demon Kingdom to worship the monarch. There is nothing else, just some prayers, but the prayers are not to heaven and earth, but to the Serpent God."

"Lord of the Demonic Kingdom, doesn't that mean there must be a nine-story demon tower here?" Professor Hao exclaimed.

"Pray to the snake god?"

Although he was full of doubts, Professor Chen quickly ordered: "Xiao Chu, Xiao Sa, quickly write down all these words and Comrade Xiao Zhou's translation."

Shirley Yang was indeed breathing rapidly. She felt that she had made a great profit by finding Zhou Xun this time!

Now, he had no doubt at all about Zhou Xun's statement that he could find the ancient city of Jingjue.

It would be too unrealistic if we can’t even find Zhou Xun who knows Guidongwen.

"Crack!"

Zhou Xun looked over when he heard the sound and almost forgot about the flash.

"Xiao Sa, turn off the flash point, it's too dangerous!" Zhou Xun shouted in a low voice.

"Good! Good!"

Xiao Sa hurriedly turned off the flash.

After everything was recorded, everyone started crossing the river.

"Everyone, watch your step and try to be quick!" Zhou Xun warned.

But he knew there was danger down there.

"Lao Hu, this cave is much warmer than outside. I thought the water would be very cold, but I didn't expect the temperature to be quite comfortable." said the fat man.

"There may be frequent crustal activity and geothermal sources here, but this is actually not a good thing." Lao Hu, who has been in the army for ten years, is always observing various potentially dangerous factors.

"What do you mean?" the fat man asked curiously.

"If you feel comfortable with it, you will feel comfortable with other things too." Lao Hu said vigilantly.

"Are you afraid of fireflies? But fireflies belong to the element of fire, and water and fire cannot mix!" said the fat man in disbelief.

"Fatty, did I tell you there are only fireflies here? What if there are other scary creatures?" Zhou Xun said.

"Uncle Zhou, please don't scare me. I'm already nervous now, and your words make the atmosphere even more tense." The fat man's heart beat faster because of what Zhou Xun said.

"Be careful, support each other, and cross the river as soon as possible!" Zhou Xun shouted again.

After everyone got ashore, they saw a hole in front of them.

"You guys take a rest first, I'll go ahead and explore the way."

After saying that, Zhou Xun came to the cave entrance alone. What he saw was a huge mountain space with a nine-story monster tower with countless dead bodies hanging inside.

There was blue light appearing on all the corpses in the Nine-story Demon Tower. It was a spectacular sight that you couldn’t experience by watching TV.

Zhou Xun knew that those blue lights were dormant fireflies.

He turned around and waved to everyone, signaling them to come over.

When everyone was about to come over, Zhou Xun hurriedly said, "Turn off the headlights, and don't shine the flashlights directly!"

Everyone didn't understand why, but they did it anyway.

When they walked forward and took a look, everyone was shocked by the spectacular nine-story demon tower!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the selection condition! ]

[Option 1: Go to the ninth floor to open the museum and take away the burial objects, and you will be rewarded with the Azure Dragon Bloodline upgrade.]

[Choice 9: It's too scary. I'll do nothing but watch. Reward: Hidden Weapon +.]

[Option 3: There are too many people, so just find something on the lower floors and take it away. You will be rewarded with a skill upgrade.]

Zhou Xun thought all three rewards were good, but he still wanted to go to the ninth floor once. He had to see it for himself.

"System, I choose 1."

This bloodline upgrade was not as painful as the first time, but Zhou Xun could still feel slight pain.

After the upgrade, Zhou Xun knew that he had an additional talent function, Dragon Power Shock, which was similar to the brother's skill of scattering blood, but Zhou Xun did not need to scatter blood. Of course, it was more powerful and the effect after scattering blood was also greater.
