Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

Before entering the water, Wu Sansheng had already instructed everyone what they needed to pay attention to underwater.

After all, you can't talk in the water, you can only communicate by flashing lights and using gestures, which is very inconvenient. What if there is someone stupid enough not to understand the signals and moves around randomly, something might happen.

Led by Wu Sanxing, the group arrived at the stone archway.

On the stone gate is carved a giant five-clawed dragon with bared fangs and claws. In the dragon's mouth is a stone bead that looks a bit uneven. The surrounding swastika cloud pattern makes it look like it is flying in the clouds.

If you ignore the gap that was pried out on it, and exclude the strange bead in the dragon's mouth, the overall picture of the cloud dragon is natural and looks like it was inlaid here by a craftsman.

But unfortunately, this was obviously a good thing that Wu Sansheng and his men had done when he came here before.

This time, with the addition of Li Yuchen and the people he brought, the actual number of people in the team doubled to as many as fifteen. At this time, they were crowded together at an entrance, looking like a bunch of dense black shadows.

Chi Yu and Wu Sanxing were standing side by side at the front.

When Wu Sansheng was resting on the boat, he also discussed the mechanism at the door with him, and said that the last time he opened the door was by accident and he opened it by chance.

Moreover, the activation method of this door opening mechanism may become unstable due to the influence of water flow.

Although it was successful last time, it may not be successful this time, so more professional people are needed to crack the mechanism just in case.

When Chi Yu heard these words, he glanced at Wu Sansheng indifferently, thinking that if he wanted to make it in the world, he really had to be thick-skinned enough to be able to lie with his eyes open without changing his expression.

Although there were traces of prying on the stone door, Chi Yu, who was able to see the structure of the mechanisms, knew very well that this level of prying would not allow the stone door to be opened normally underwater.

So if the other party has really successfully entered here, then he must have mastered the correct door opening technique.

However, professional Chi Yu had no objection to this. He consciously ignored the other party's lies that he didn't actually know how to crack the mechanism, and decided to give his client some corresponding leniency.

Chi Yu made a gesture to Wu Sanxing, then stepped forward alone and swam to the top of the arch.

This tomb was built extremely delicately, and even the archway at the entrance was carved with intricate patterns.

Chi Yu looked at the patterns without any interest in appreciating them. He reached out his hand expressionlessly and touched the pressing groove hidden on the relief according to a specific pattern.

A dull "click" sound came from the dragon's mouth below.

Chi Yu looked down and found that the five-clawed dragon carved on the huge stone door had opened its mouth and spit out the stone ball that was in its mouth.

After losing the support of the dragon's mouth, the solid ball immediately sank to the bottom of the lake.

The water flow thus became somewhat turbulent, and instead of returning to calm when the stone ball stopped rolling, the flow became more and more turbulent.

Almost in the blink of an eye, a strong suction force gushed out from the direction of the dragon head, and the originally closed stone door opened instantly, and an obvious underwater whirlpool appeared in front of Chi Yu and others.

Because they had been notified in advance, everyone present had basically prepared themselves mentally. Faced with this sudden change, they did not resist too much and were just sucked in one after another by the force.

The violent water flow swept them into the tomb passage, and behind them was the roar of the stone door closing. In the chaos, Chi Yu grabbed the stone bricks of the tomb passage wall to maintain his body stability.

The water that was sucked in along with Chi Yu and others did not stay in the channel for long and soon seeped into the ground.

Chi Yu's gaze lingered on this special ground for a moment. He casually scooped up Jie Yuchen, who seemed a little shaky beside him, and received a thank you from the other party. He looked around and found that this group of people were basically staggering. The scene could be called a record of human taming of limbs.

It was such a beautiful scene, but he couldn't bear to look at it.

Chi Yu looked away, took off his equipment and stretched his body.

This tomb passage looks different from ordinary tomb passages. It is over three meters high and wide enough for three strong men to walk side by side. It feels more like a welcoming path.

"Isn't this a bit weird? I was almost vomited by this vortex just now, it was like a flush toilet."

Lao Yang took off his hood and was now gasping for breath. The other people who were with him were in much the same situation.

Among so many people, only Wu Sanxing, Pan Zi, and Xie Yuchen seem to be in good condition.

This time Wu Sanxing ignored his idle chatter, and after a short pause, he stood up, shone the searchlight on the wall, and said to Pan Zi, "Pan Zi, look at this brick, a typical late Ming style, with rusty seams between the bricks, which means they were sealed with iron paste."

As he spoke, he shone the light on the ground again: "The ground is paved with sandstone. Sandstone has strong water permeability and cannot retain water on the surface. This structure shows that there is at least a waterproof layer underneath."

Pan Zi nodded, knowing that he had just retired from the team and did not have enough experience in this area. Wu Sansheng was taking the opportunity to give him experience, so he listened very carefully.

Some people didn't want to hear about things that anyone with a discerning eye could see, so they asked, "Third Master, where did you find those treasures the last time you came here?"

Wu Sanxing was interrupted. He glanced at the person who was speaking and replied in a neutral tone, "There is a small tomb just in front. The things I showed you were taken out from there."

"But everything there has long been cleared out by me and my men. If you want to find treasures, you have to follow me down there to have a look. Only then can you find the good stuff."

"Then you didn't go to see the lower floor?"

"The way down is blocked by a complicated mechanism door. It's not easy to use explosives directly underwater. I don't know the specific situation."

At this point, Wu Sansheng smiled at him and said, "Why else would I invite you here?"

The man got a cold shoulder and looked embarrassed, and stopped talking.

So Wu Sanxing sneered and turned to continue explaining the structure of the tomb passage to Pan Zi.

Chi Yu opened the Moyu map, paused on the unlocked block, and turned to look at Xie Yuchen.

The other party seemed to have noticed something was wrong and stood aside with a frown, staring at the people present.

"Two of the guys who came down with me are missing." Seeing Chi Yu looking at him, Xie Yuchen whispered to him.

"They disappeared."
