Tomb Raider: After being read, they all acted like me

For a moment, everyone's heart was in their throat.

Lu Renjia broke out in a cold sweat.

They all stopped where they were, without moving, their eyes fixed on the figure on the bed.

Time passed by minute by minute.

After a few seconds, the man still didn't move.

Lu Renjia finally breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't look like a living person or a monster.

Zhang Hailou and Zhang Haixia are on the left and right.

Slowly approach that thing.

Lu Renjia also followed behind them, sticking his head out curiously. After walking about one or two meters, he finally saw the situation on the bed clearly.

It was a thing that looked like a human figure.

There are rust spots on it.

Looks a bit like iron.

But what’s strange is that this iron man is placed in an extremely strange posture. If you don’t look carefully, you really can’t tell that it is an iron man.

“Could this be the tomb owner?”

Fatty Wang looked at the iron man, his hands already itching to go up and touch him.

Those who know Fatty Wang.

None other than Wu Xie.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Wu Xie beside him grabbed it and said, "Fatty, have you forgotten what happened just now?"

Fatty Wang smiled awkwardly.

“Isn’t there something locked in this?”

He managed to defend against Fatty Wang, but failed to defend against the other two people. Zhang Hailou had already gone up and attacked them.

After touching it, my hands were full of mud.

The lake water disappeared suddenly, causing the mud to remain on the surface without drying up.

"Not alive, but dead."

After searching for a long time, the iron man still didn't move. He stretched out his hand in front of everyone and said something to them.

Lu Renjia nodded.

For some reason, he had been feeling deeply uneasy since coming here, as if something terrible was going to happen here.

Don't even talk about feeling relieved.

He felt like he couldn't even breathe now.

Seeing that Zhang Hailou touched the iron man and did not take any other actions, Fatty Wang couldn't help but step forward. Wu Xie saw that there was no threat, so he let him go.

Touch this side, touch that side.

Lu Renjia watched Fatty Wang knocking on the iron man like he was knocking on a watermelon.

"Fatty, can you still tell whether it's sweet or not?"

Fatty Wang grinned.

"I won the jackpot. It's solid inside. I guess it's sweet."

"Don't say anything sweet, little fat boy. Be careful or the thing inside might suddenly open its mouth and bite you." Zhang Hailou said from the side.

When Fatty Wang heard what he said, he became furious.

"What words? What words?"

"Xiao Jia is so naive. He actually threatened me. Go and ask around. Was I raised to be scared?"

As he spoke, Fatty Wang started knocking on the iron man.

Lu Renjia and Wu Xie looked at each other.

They all saw the smile in each other's eyes.

Fortunately, this thing was really dead and didn't move at all, otherwise, Fatty Wang would probably have a pale face now.

The design of the room is quirky.

Some tables and bed boards have been corroded after being in water for so many years, and they will fall apart at the slightest touch.

Several people explored this place.

Found out that there is no one else except this iron man.

There is nothing else in this room.

"Strange." Lu Renjia muttered. She was a little confused now.

This is the deepest part of the lake. When the water suddenly disappeared before, it should have disappeared from this place. Why is there nothing here now?

This is absolutely impossible.

Wu Xie also had the same idea as him.

The two looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes. It was obvious that they didn't know what caused these things to happen.

Just at this moment there was a knock on the ground.

The banging sound attracted the attention of several people.

Lu Renjia looked in the direction where the sound came from, only to see Zhang Hailou groping and tapping the ground with his fingers.

What's surprising is the ground here.

It actually made the sound of wooden boards knocking against each other.

Apparently there is another space underneath, separated by wooden boards. I don’t know what kind of wooden boards they are, but they have not been corroded after so many years.

"Damn, could this whole piece be that kind of sunken wood?" Fatty Wang made a bold guess.

The dark wood is caused by crustal changes such as earthquakes.

Natural disasters such as floods and mudslides.

This caused the ancient forest to be buried deep in the low-lying areas of the ancient riverbed or in the silt in an environment of lack of oxygen, high pressure, weak acid and microorganisms.

It is formed through slow carbonization over thousands of years.

Bright color, delicate and smooth, dense and rot-resistant, with special fragrance

The only types of sunken wood are Cyclobalanopsis glauca, Salix matsudana, Cinnamomum camphora and Toona sinensis.

It takes five tree species to form nanmu.

Other tree species cannot become sunken wood.

The reason why Fatty Wang said this is that most people had previously discovered this kind of wood in water.

"It is said that it was soaked in mud, and then after thousands of years of soaking, all the mud entered the wood, and then the two substances evaporated." Wu Xie gave a detailed explanation on the side.

Lu Renjia was shocked when he heard this.

He has never eaten pork, but he has seen pigs run.

If this kind of wood is sold, the price it will fetch is simply inestimable.

If this piece of floor was made entirely of this kind of wood...

Suddenly, Lu Renjia felt the urge to pry a piece away.

But before he could carry out his impulse, the two people who were knocking on the ground on the other side noticed the difference.

I saw Zhang Hailou tapping the gap in the wooden board.

He actually pulled the board up with force.

"There's actually another space in here?" Lu Renjia moved closer curiously.

It was the same place inside as where they were now.

Only some water stains could be seen, but no large amount of water was seen at all.

There was a lake here just now.

Now it has disappeared without a trace. Perhaps there is more than just this layer underneath.

Immediately, Lu Renjia continued to bend the wooden board next to him along with the one Zhang Hailou had broken open.

I broke off several pieces in a row.

Another long staircase appeared in front of everyone.

"I said that a few of us are here to do mountain climbing. If we keep going like this, I feel that we can reach the center of the earth." Looking up, Fatty Wang was a little worried about how they would get up.

"Who on earth would build so many steps here?"

Lu Renjia was also very puzzled.

No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure it out.

What kind of people would build so many steps here, and why did the Yao village here disappear without a trace?

Could it be that they came to the wrong place?

But this is impossible. According to the clues we got before, this is indeed where Hai Fei and Zhang Qiling came.

"Is there a possibility?"

At this time, Wu Xie didn't know what he was thinking of.

His face was extremely ugly.

He stared at the deep pit and said something earth-shattering: "This place was changed by someone else before we came here."
