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

"They burrow into the clothes of a corpse or the fur of an animal, and the corpse turns white. If they continue to bite living people and animals, they will grow bigger and bigger, and then shrink due to consumption."

"If they don't eat humans or livestock within two or three days, they will disperse and hide under the glacier until they find a new corpse. This kind of thing likes to drill snow trenches and ice pits and only appears late at night."

"More than seven hundred years ago, a great disaster occurred, killing countless people and animals. Among the scriptures in the temple, there is a set of biographies of the Supreme Master Zong Keba, which records this incident in great detail!"

Zhang Yingchen was also surprised and said, "I didn't expect such a creature to exist."

Lao Hu asked Chuyi: "So Snow Maitreya is not one thing, but a group of many things gathered together 623?"

Chu nodded and said, "Yes, at most, there will be more than a dozen spirits attached to one corpse. They absorb the blood and flesh in the corpse and become fat, like a whole ball of fat."

"If it possesses a person, it will look like a fat snowman from a distance. That's why the locals call it Snow Maitreya. It's been a long time since Snow Maitreya became a disaster, and people have gradually forgotten about it."

Shirley Yang asked, "Then did Xue Mi Le disappear?"

Uncle Ming was puzzled and asked, "If it disappeared, why did it appear again now?"

Old Hu was also confused: "How come everything happened to us once we entered Kunlun Mountain?"

Zhou Xun thought to himself: Haha, it would be a miracle if we couldn't catch up and then had a smooth journey without any danger.

Chuyi said: "It didn't disappear, nor did it happen only for us to catch up. Two years ago, there was a serious incident, and many people died at that time."

"It should also be this Maitreya Buddha?"

the fat man asked.

Seeing that the fat man remembered the wrong name again, Zhou Xun gave a friendly reminder: "Xue Mi Le."

The fat man nodded and said, "Yes, Snow Maitreya, isn't Maitreya the Buddha of Maitreya? Snow Maitreya Buddha?"

Chapter 278 Entering the Nine-story Demon Tower

Chuyi didn't pay any attention to Fatty, but after some time, he knew what kind of person Fatty was.

"At that time, a geological survey team entered the Kunlun Mountains and dug out several white, chubby snowmen from the snow. Before the geological team could figure out what was going on, they found a few big, white, chubby snowmen."

"They were thrown into a snow cave by those white humanoid snowmen. Of the ten people in the team, only two escaped alive."

Lao Hu didn't expect this to happen: "Were they killed by Xue Mi Le?"

Chu nodded: "The area where the geologists were killed had an avalanche not long ago. A multinational mountaineering team lost contact with the outside world there."

"The older monks in the temple said that the fat snowmen encountered by the geological team might be the bodies of the climbers who were entangled by the Snow Maitreya. It just so happens that the higher-ups are mobilizing people to look for the missing climbers and the bodies of the geological team members."

"So the nearby herdsmen, lamas, and the army, a total of more than a hundred people, went to search the snowy mountains for five days, but returned empty-handed!"

The fat man was inexplicably surprised at this time: "It seems that this thing is really a monster that brings disaster to the local area. I didn't expect that many legends in Tibet are actually true, and we have confirmed them one by one!"

The fat man's words touched everyone's heart.

People coming from the Central Plains generally view all mythological stories with a skeptical attitude.

I didn't expect that after arriving in Tibet, I found that many of the legends here are true.

Zhou Xun couldn't help but sigh: "Tibet is such a magical place!"

Lao Hu asked Chuyi: "What are the weaknesses of these Snow Maitreya?"

Of course, Old Hu also knew that Zhou Xun did not use his full strength to deal with the Snow Maitreya before.

But if we know Snow Mile's weakness, it will be easier to deal with him.

After all, this Snow Maitreya is so magical that it can even be said to be not a simple creature or animal.

"Yes, the only weakness of Snow Maitreya is that it can only come out at night. It dares not show up even in the rain or snow during the day. In addition, the Supreme Master of the Sect of the Great Master Ba mentioned in the biography that this creature is particularly afraid of the Great Salt!"

Chuyi told what he knew.

Then he worriedly said, "But now we don't have big salt, and there is very little salt. Snow Maitreya will definitely attack us again. The wolves must be hiding in a nearby ice ditch to avoid the wind and snow, waiting for the opportunity to attack again. It seems that we will not be bored later."

The fat man said arrogantly: "If the environment here is not unfavorable to us, otherwise I would dare to fight it alone. What a snow Maitreya Buddha, I will squeeze it into a skinny man right now!"

Zhou Xun stood up and said, "Okay, we still have to explore the Nine-story Demon Tower tomorrow. Let's take advantage of the time to rest today. Just like before, everyone will take turns standing guard!"

After saying that, Lao Hu and Chu Yi were left to continue to be on guard, while everyone else took the time to rest.

Afterwards, it was relatively stable.

No monsters or demons will come to attack the camp again.

The rest of the night was uneventful.

morning.

Everyone's mental recovery was about the same.

Everyone finished breakfast.

He went down into the ice cave, brushed ginger juice on the ice surface, and prepared to start digging after it seeped through.

In a short while, the ginger juice had seeped into the ice surface, and everyone worked together to dig through the ice.

Five or six meters below.

They dug out large pieces of wood similar to the Qilian juniper, which was a combination of square wood, round wood and rammed earth.

The civil engineering work here is actually more troublesome than digging solid ice, but fortunately, there are many people and quick hands, as well as complete tools. In less than half an hour, the first floor of the demon tower was dug out!

In order to prevent the existence of infinite karmic fire or other mechanisms beneath the ice, everyone made sufficient preparations.

But unexpectedly, there was nothing on the first floor of the demon tower. When you go inside, it looks like a low room built of earth and wood, mainly made of black wood and grayish-white rammed earth.

In this layer, there is only a huge ice plate on the ground.

The ice plate is thin and transparent, with a statue of a god carved on its surface. It seems that if you want to continue digging, you have to break the ice plate.

Shirley Yang looked at the statue, which was an image of a warrior with a human body, a wolf head, and armor on.

The wolf's head is white and its armor is silver. I seem to have seen this image somewhere before.

While he was thinking about it, Uncle Ming and others also went down to the tower one after another.

Zhou Xun looked at the ice tray and said, "々' Smash it!"

"Got it!"

Fatty and Chuyi took ice picks and prepared to smash it.

Uncle Ming just came down and was about to watch everyone work. At this time, the tactical spotlights were all focused on the board. When Uncle Ming saw the image of a human body with a wolf head, his face suddenly changed color.

He hurriedly took out the scripture of the Samsara Sect, pointed at the wolf-headed demon god on the ice plate and said, "This glacier crystal stone cannot be destroyed. It contains the curse of the White Wolf Demon Slave of the Demon Country. Once it is broken, the curse will come out!"

When Lao Hu heard this, he immediately stopped believing it.

The layout of the nine-story demon tower is explained in the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Art. Lao Hu has also seen it in the volcano. There is no possibility of any mechanism on this floor.

This crystal disc should be a kind of tower burial decoration called (Wang Lehao) Linggai, which is found at the connection point of each layer.

Even so, what Lao Hu saw and heard in the Tibetan glaciers during this period made him unsure whether the curse and mechanism really existed.

Zhang Yingchen was also familiar with the sixteen-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui secret technique. After exchanging a glance with Lao Hu, he turned to look at Zhou Xun.

It seemed like he was waiting for Zhou Xun to come up with an idea.

Zhou Xun still said firmly: "Smash it, no matter it is a curse or a mechanism, I want to see how magical this nine-story demon tower can be today!"

Of course, Zhou Xun said this because he knew there was no curse or mechanism here. He certainly wouldn't joke about everyone's lives.

When Fatty and Chuyi heard Zhou Xun's words, they stepped forward and started smashing things.

In a few seconds, the crystal plate was broken into countless pieces.

Chapter 279 Crystal Mountain

When Uncle Ming and others saw this, they involuntarily took a few steps back.

Shirley Yang went forward to check it out and said to everyone, "Mr. Lei is right, but the crystal plate on the top floor is fake. The real cursed crystal plate is at the deepest part!"

"This demon tower that enshrines the evil god Crystal Corpse is also mentioned in the rap poem of the King of Defeatable Enemies, the silver demon slave White Wolf King, and is named Crystal Freedom Mountain."

"It serves the evil god at the bottom of the tower. Once someone approaches, an army of demonic wolves will descend from the sky and engulf the invader."

Chuyi said: "The wolf god Crystal Zizaishan is a demon slave of the Demon Kingdom. There are related legends in the earliest mythological system of Western Tibet. Crystal Zizaishan was also a giant white wolf when he was alive. He is the ancestor of all the hungry wolves in Kunlun Mountain."

"But it got this title only after its death. Legend has it that after it was killed by Guru Padmasambhava, its body turned into a huge iceberg crystal stone, so it is called Crystal Mountain!"

Shirley Yang nodded and said, "That's right. This crystal formed from the corpse of the White Wolf Demon Slave is buried in the Mountain. It contains the vicious curse of the demon slave's dead soul. Anyone who dares to approach will die without a burial place."

"The Demonic Nation is a nation that worships the abyss and caves. The glacier crystal corpse, which is the symbol of the evil god, must be at the bottom of the demon tower. When digging to the deepest part, you must be careful not to damage the Crystal Mountain and get burned!"

Shirley Yang reminded everyone solemnly.

Speaking of curses, to be honest, others may not feel anything, but Shirley Yang, Lao Hu, and Fatty must feel guilty and afraid.

After all, they are here to lift the curse. If there is one more curse, they will not be able to survive!

This Longding Glacier used to be a huge lake, and the location of the demon tower might have been on an island in the middle of the lake.

The demon tower is surrounded by frozen soil or rocks, and the outer layer is the glacier behind it. Its bottom layer may even be connected to the ice abyss where Snow Maitreya is hiding.

The deeper they dig, the greater the danger they will face!

After Zhou Xun had made all the arrangements.

Everyone followed the steps and dug up two more layers.

There are no dead bodies buried here, just some cow heads piled up into Mani piles, all of which are just gray cow bones and horns. This should be the worship of cows.

Because the whole body of the yak is a treasure on the plateau. In ancient Tibet, no matter which tribe, they are relatively unified only in this point!

Compared with the extravagant and wealthy pagoda where the leader of the Reincarnation Religion was buried in the Ice Bowl, there was nothing in the Nine-story Demon Pagoda, which inevitably made everyone a little disappointed!

The fat man complained: "Isn't this nine-story demon tower supposed to bury the princess of the demon country and the local evil god? How can it be so poor? There are several floors and there are no burial objects at all!!!"

"Could it be that the princess of this demon country died of poverty?"

The fat man cursed and complained.

Originally he was looking forward to it, thinking that the Nine-story Demon Tower would be filled with burial objects, and that there would be many precious items, if not mountains of gold and silver.

Who would have thought that this demon country was so stingy that it wouldn't even give its own princess any burial objects.

Uncle Ming thought he would be able to obtain the thousand-year-old crystal corpse soon, and immediately laughed with satisfaction: "Hahaha, Fatty, even if there is nothing buried with it in this nine-story demon tower, the thousand-year-old crystal corpse is still priceless!"

When Fatty heard Uncle Ming say this, he immediately became unhappy: "Then we can't come here for nothing!"

Uncle Ming smiled but didn't dare to continue to benefit from it.

At this moment, he was really afraid that Zhou Xun and his men would not get the good stuff and would instead plan to take his thousand-year-old crystal corpse.

He didn't think that his group could snatch anything from Zhou Xun and his men and survive safely!

Shirley Yang said: "Fatty, have you forgotten what we are here for?"

When Shirley Yang said this, Uncle Ming and others thought that Shirley Yang meant to help Uncle Ming find the thousand-year-old crystal corpse.

Instead of coming here to steal treasure.

But the fat man naturally understood that Shirley Yang was reminding him that lifting the curse was the most important thing.

··· 0Request flowers·· ········

"Humph!"

The fat man snorted unwillingly.

He felt very unhappy. This was the first time that he had dug into such a large ancient tomb but got nothing out of it.

Zhang Yingchen is a genuine tomb raider. He goes to tombs for treasures, but he is not as unprofessional as Lao Hu. If it weren't for Zhou Xun and the curse, Lao Hu would have quit long ago.

Zhang Yingchen comforted him, "It's okay, maybe the burial objects are all down there!"

The fat man thought about it and agreed. Good things are often only seen later.

Thinking of this, the fat man felt much better.

Zhou Xun looked at the exhausted people and said, "Let's go upstairs to rest and eat something!"

...... .. ...

They had been working since early morning, and by now everyone was exhausted.

Everyone returned to the top floor of the Demon Tower.

Make a fire to cook and keep warm around the fire.

Then I took a break.
