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

So he said to Uncle Ming: "Feng Shui is a pseudo-learning if you don't have the true teachings. How much do you know about it?"

"I'll tell you the truth. The water in this underground lake is not only delicious, but also worth a lot of money. The lake is worth as much as our dragon veins!"

"It's not that the dragon veins come out of Kunlun. Without this lake, the Kunlun Ancestral Dragon would be nothing. The ancients had a very appropriate metaphor."

"Without Xiangyang and Jingzhou, we cannot use our military power. Without Hanzhong, Bashu cannot be safe. Without Zhong and Henan, we cannot defend Henan. This is the situation."

"Since wind and water exist objectively, without these underground waters, Kunlun Mountain would not be worthy of being the dragon head!"

“Although outsiders may not have seen this underground water system except for the believers of the ancient Demon Kingdom, its existence has been confirmed in almost all Feng Shui theories. This is called the creation of heaven and earth, and the same principle of yin and yang!”

"Master Zhou, brothers, do you think I am right?"

Zhang Yingchen said: "Most of it is correct, but Kunlun Mountain cannot be judged by ordinary Feng Shui."

Zhou Xun nodded and said, "That's right, Kunlun Mountain cannot be judged by ordinary Feng Shui, but you are not wrong to say that the lake water is nutritious. Also, Kunlun exists only because of the lake water. The dragon vein is wrong. The creation of heaven and earth is not just about Feng Shui!"

Old Hu asked curiously, "Isn't Feng Shui enough?"

Zhou Xun smiled slightly and said, "Everything in the world has its own path. Wind has one path, water has another, then metal, wood, fire, and earth also have their own paths, and there are many others!"

"So, Kunlun, the ancestor of dragon veins, cannot be explained by wind and water alone."

Old Hu nodded and started to study it in his mind.

But even so, Lao Hu's long speech just now left Uncle Ming speechless and unable to refute!

But after a few people chatted and distracted their attention, Uncle Ming no longer felt too tired and immediately became energetic!

If you are hungry, you have to bear it for now. Now is not the time to eat. The most urgent thing is to find all the missing people first before talking about other things.

Several people walked almost a circle along the edge of the underground lake.

The further I walked, the colder I felt. I couldn't see the person alive, nor the body after death.

Several people looked at the lake filled with heavy dark air, fearing that they had been fed to the big fish.

Or maybe it was washed into a deeper place, where can we find it in such darkness?

Zhou Xun has also been wondering where Shirley Yang and the others fell. Although he knew the plot of the original novel, he didn't remember every detail.

What's more, so much time has passed.

However, Zhou Xun was sure that Shirley Yang and the others were all fine now, at least their lives were not in danger.

Just as everyone was thinking about where to search.

Suddenly, a flare was fired from the center of the underground lake.

The flares hung in the air, illuminating the lake.

The frightened mayflies around them flew everywhere with their tails of light, and the light danced wildly.

The scene at this moment is as brilliant as fireworks exploding in the dark sky!

See the flares.

Everyone was surprised and delighted!

To their surprise, after searching around the underground lake in vain, they discovered that there was a small island in the dark center of the lake, which was indeed unexpected!

The good news is that since flares were fired over there, it means that at least Shirley Yang is fine, and finally we don’t have to look around blindly.

Zhou Xun looked towards the center of the lake and immediately saw the situation of the island in the middle of the lake.

Chapter 322: Fire Lizard on the Lake Island

The fat man was confused and asked, "What's going on? Why are there flares but no one can be seen?"

With the help of the pale light, Old Hu, Fat Uncle Ming and Zhang Yingchen could see that there was only a conical mountain on the small island in the lake, but no one was visible.

The light gradually dimmed, and before anyone could take a closer look, it disappeared into the darkness of the lake.

Uncle Ming was so frightened that in his mind, the island in the middle of the lake was no different from a haunted house.

Lifting his shaking legs, Uncle Ming leaned towards the crowd, horrified: "If there is no one here, who fired the flare? And why did it take so long to send the signal?"

"There is something wrong here, there must be a big problem!"

What Uncle Ming meant was that the small island in the lake was a trap, which was there to lure everyone into the trap. If one went there rashly, one would probably be trapped. It was better to think long-term.

Uncle Ming is smarter now. He knows that Zhou Xun doesn't like to hear words of retreat, so he starts to speak with hidden meanings and deliberately guide everyone.

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to Uncle Ming.

Zhou Xun had just seen the entire view of the island in the middle of the lake, and recalled some things. He said to the others, "There is indeed no one on the island, but the flare was fired at a vertical angle."

"It's not the arc we usually use. Also, the height is wrong, which means the flare was fired from below the horizontal plane."

"There must be a hole on the island in the lake. They might be trapped in it. We have to swim over to support them as soon as possible!"

After a few people sorted out their equipment, they didn't dare to delay and swam desperately to the island in the middle of the lake.

On the island in the middle of the lake.

After several people came ashore, they found this lonely island in the lake. Not only was there no trace of people nearby, there was no trace of any caves on the ground.

Behind a rock, there were many expended bullets and shell casings scattered around, as if a fierce battle had taken place there.

There are not only submachine gun shells here, but also daci rifle shells.

The island is about half the size of a football field, with a bulge in the middle that turns upside down like a trumpet. The terrain is very peculiar.

Zhou Xun looked at the rocks under his feet and said to them, "This is an underground extinct volcano. There is a crater above. They must have run into the crater."

As he said that, he ran up first.

Old Hu, Fatty and Zhang Yingchen dragged Uncle Ming behind them.

After running a few steps, Zhou Xun discovered that there were many rotten cypresses scattered among the volcanic rocks.

The nearby stone piles can also be seen to be man-made.

Old Hu followed and looked at the surroundings and asked, "Could it be that the underground altar of the Eluohai City is in the belly of the extinct volcano?"

After they had walked a few steps, they suddenly saw a severed hand on the ground with blood still on it. It was a woman's hand.

There is a ring on her hand.

Zhou Xun thought to himself: Could it be that Ah Xiang still has a broken hand like in the original novel?

Zhou Xun bent down and picked up the severed hand on the ground. He was sure that it was a woman's right hand.

"It was broken at the wrist. Judging from the uneven tooth marks on the cross section, it must have been bitten off by a huge bite force. It must have been bitten off by a ferocious beast. Moreover, this is not Shirley Yang's hand."

"This should be Ah Xiang or Han Shu Na's hand. I just saw the shells of Shirley Yang and Chu Yi, which means they are together now."

Zhou Xun said to Lao Hu.

Lao Hu said: "It seems that they were not simply reporting their location to us just now, they were asking for help!"

At this time.

Fatty and Zhang Yingchen dragged the exhausted Uncle Ming up from the bottom of the slope.

At the same time, a red salamander appeared from the top of the conical mountain, sticking out its long tongue.

It also retains ancient features from the post-glacial period, with several rows of sharp teeth.

Old Hu and Fatty Zhang Yingchen immediately raised their guns and fired.

"Da da da da da da da da da!"

"Da da da da da da da da da!"

There was a burst of gunfire, and the salamander was knocked back by the bullets.

Lao Hu saw that although the salamander was retreating repeatedly, the bullets were stuck in the surface skin and flesh and did not penetrate into the body of the salamander at all.

"No, light weapons are not lethal to it!"

Old Hu shouted.

The fat man put down his gun and took out a set of three pull-fire detonators from his bag, shouting, "Damn it, even though I don't have a rocket launcher today, I can still send you flying!"

As he said this, he prepared to light it and throw it out.

Zhou Xun stopped the fat man and said, "Others, this may kill it, but what if there are so many rubbles and it accidentally injures it?"

"Da da da da da da da da da!"

"What should I do?"

Zhang Yingchen asked while firing.

Zhou Xun drew out the Minghong sword from his back: "Cease fire, I'll kill it!"

Lao Hu, Fatty and Zhang Yingchen stopped shooting immediately after hearing Zhou Xun's order.

Uncle Ming hid behind Lao Hu in fear.

Zhou Xun held the Minghong Knife and ran quickly towards the fire lizard.

As the afterimage flashed by, Zhou Xun arrived near the fire lizard in a moment, then jumped into the air. Before the fire lizard could react, Zhou Xun's Minghong Sword had already pierced into the fire lizard's head.

This blow directly nailed the fire lizard to the ground.

The salamander shook its body violently a few times and then died.

Seeing that the fire lizard was dead, Zhou Xun pulled out the Minghong Sword, shook off the remaining blood on the sword, and then accurately put it back into the scabbard with his backhand.

This series of quick operations stunned Zhang Yingchen and Uncle Ming, who had never seen Zhou Xun draw his sword!

Too bad!

But soon Uncle Ming's attention was attracted by the severed hand in Zhou Xun's left hand.

He stared at the ring on the severed finger.

Zhou Xun walked back and noticed Uncle Ming's eyes.

He walked over and handed the severed hand to Uncle Ming.

Fatty and Zhang Yingchen also saw the severed hand in Uncle Ming's hand and knew that it was either Han Shuona's or Ah Xiang's.

Uncle Ming was silent for a while and asked, "Is this my wife's hand?"

Chapter 323 The drama of fate!

Without waiting for anyone to answer, he lowered his head with a dejected look on his face. He seemed to be very heartbroken and also very self-blaming.

If a person's limb is broken, it can be reattached if surgery is performed within a short period of time.

But how could surgery be performed in such an isolated environment?

Moreover, this cross section is not a cut surface and cannot be reconnected at all!

The fat man looked at the severed hand in Uncle Ming's hand and winked at Lao Hu, wanting Lao Hu to speak up and persuade him.

Lao Hu was very embarrassed and waved his hands.

Zhou Xun said: "Let's go, hurry up the mountain, finding people first is the first priority!"

As he said this, he led the way to the top of the conical mountain.

Old Hu and the fat man took each side, carried Uncle Ming and quickly followed.

Zhang Yingchen followed a few people like this and covered everyone.

Arrive at the top of the conical mountain.

There is a lot of black volcanic sand near the pass.

It takes at least several million years for volcanic rocks to turn from gray to black and then to form sand-like crystals.

A dead volcano can also be said to be a corpse in nature.

Walking on it and actually feeling these eternal changes will make people feel an inexplicable sense of loss!

As they walked along, everyone felt heavy-hearted and the atmosphere became depressing.

Soon, they arrived at the crater.

The crater is not as big as people imagine.

Due to years of erosion, a large part of the cave entrance collapsed, and the size of the remaining entrance is like a large chimney in a factory.

Looking at the cave entrance, Zhang Yingchen said, "No wonder the salamander couldn't crawl in."
