Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

"Hey, this kid is a real backer. We ran all the way, so why did he get worms?" Zhang Boldly pouted his nose, pulled out a long rope from his backpack, wrapped it around his hands, and strode his horse. Put on a fighting stance.

Glasses Chen has one head and two big heads, "What's the situation? What's wrong with the bugs? Could it be... Could it be that this person is controlled by that red nematode?"

Li Qiu calmed down, and said, "Red nematodes are tiny long parasites that live underground. They live by sucking blood. They can also penetrate into living things through their ears and mouths. But in ancient tombs, this kind of worms They are called puppet guardians because they can drill into people's brains and control living people like puppets."

Zhang boldly turned his head and smiled, "It's not easy, little brother, even the puppet knows, isn't it the first time to go to the ground?"

Li Qiu gave Zhang boldly a look, this fat guy who will take revenge is obviously going to take revenge on the previous threats.

The donkey friend who was being manipulated shook and rushed over with a roar. Zhang Bold's agility was unbelievable.

Glasses Chen hid behind and gave Zhang Bold a big thumbs up.

Zhang boldly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, and sighed again: "What the hell, this mechanism is a chain link, who set it up so viciously."

Immediately after the exit of the tomb passage, there is a narrow passage that only allows one person to pass through. The narrow passage is filled with dense fog, making it strange and blurred.

Li Qiu didn't understand, so, "Is there something wrong with this place?"

The glasses queen Chen touched her little heart in fear, and explained: "Little brother, you don't know, this is the rainstorm pear blossom needle mechanism we encountered before. As long as people step into this narrow passage, the mechanism inside will be triggered, and the sky will be filled with tears." The lotus needle will shoot out from the dense fog, and the range is wide enough to avoid it. By the way, even the position we are standing now is within the range of the shot."

This is really a chain link - the tomb robbers enter the tomb passage, and once they find out the secret of the red nematode, they will run wildly to escape.At that speed, it is difficult to stop immediately. When the next narrow passage mechanism is triggered, thousands of needle rain will come, and it really does not give people the slightest chance to breathe.

Just as he was thinking, there were footsteps coming from far and near in the tomb passage, and it was Ah Jiu who came out chasing Teacher Wei.

"Quick, tell them both to stop!"

Having said that, the three of them knew very well that the two people inside would not slow down at all when the sea of ​​red nematodes chased after them.

Zhang boldly yelled again and again, "It's over, it's over, they must trigger the mechanism, let's find a place to hide the needle!"

Before the words were finished, Mr. Wei, who was controlled by the puppet worm, rushed out first, heading towards the narrow path full of mist.In an instant, countless mechanisms buzzed in the narrow passage, and Ah Jiu, who came after him, had just stepped out of the tomb passage when he saw countless lotus needles rushing towards him like a rainstorm.

Ah Jiu instinctively wanted to hide, but at this moment, Li Qiu who was outside the cave suddenly rushed towards him recklessly, using his body to block the countless needles attacking him.

Ah Jiu's pupils darkened abruptly, and a pitch-black mist enveloped the entire eyeballs. Ah Jiu clasped the person in his arms with one hand, pulled out the dagger on his waist with his right hand, and swung it sideways—the dagger immediately stretched two feet, turning into a With a sharp double-edged sword, it cuts off the rain of needles in the sky.

A series of movements were as quick as lightning, all in one breath. Ah Jiu hugged Li Qiu with one arm, and swung his sword like the wind with the other. A needle passed through Ah Jiu's back.

Zhang Bold and Glasses Chen, who were hiding behind the stone, widened their eyes and forgot to breathe for a moment. For a moment, they thought they had crossed into the illusory world of martial arts in the book. Such ghost-like swiftness was really reality. Is there anything human beings can do in the world?

The overwhelming rain of lotus flower needles lasted for more than ten seconds. Ah Jiu retreated and hid. When the last needle was hit, he also retreated to the edge of the cave, with countless hideous red thread puppets behind him.

Hearing the surrounding gradually quiet, Li Qiu opened his eyes anxiously, "Ah, Ah Jiu, are you okay?"

However, what he saw was Ah Jiu's black pupils suppressing his anger and coldness.

"Who told you to come here?"

"I..." Li Qiu choked, the needles around the two of them blooming like flower petals are the best proof.The person in front of him will never need or like the protection of others, let alone the protection of a weak person like him who is self-righteous and self-righteous.

Li Qiu slowly stepped back from Ah Jiu, and the darkness in Ah Jiu's pupils dissipated quickly, but the cold anger was still there. Since the two met, this was the first time Ah Jiu was angry with him, from expression to words There is an indifference and strangeness that has never been seen before.

Li Qiu shrank to the side without saying a word as if he was in trouble, and lowered his head deeply. Zhang boldly couldn't stand it anymore, so he interjected: "Hey big brother, it's your fault. This mechanism is so dangerous , little brother is also human to be worried about you, although it may not be helpful, but in the final analysis, the starting point is good, so don't be so angry."

Ah Jiu gave Zhang Bold a cold look, retracted the dagger, and left without answering.

Zhang boldly curled his lips, bumped Li Qiu who was silent with his arm, and said, "Hey, seriously, why is your brother so angry? If someone is willing to protect me, Lao Zhang, at the critical moment of life and death, it would be a shame. A confidant who has been intersected by life and death, I can't wait to set up a temple as a Bodhisattva, why am I still annoyed?"

Li Qiu smiled wryly and shook his head, "I don't know either, but since he doesn't like it, I just don't do it in the future."

"Cough, you are simply younger than the little daughter-in-law in our hometown."

Li Qiu forced a smile, seeing Ah Jiu's back going further and further away, and hurriedly followed.

After the mechanism stopped, the fog in the narrow passage gradually dissipated. Ah Jiu had the skill to dodge thousands of needles, but Teacher Wei, who was running ahead, was not so lucky.Teacher Wei was controlled by the puppet worm, and faced a spectacular rain of needles. At this moment, he fell down in the narrow path, motionless, his back was covered with dense needles, and he thought it was a huge humanoid hedgehog.

Glasses Chen tremblingly emerged from behind the stone, "Teacher Wei... is he dead?"

"Probably not, these needles are not poisonous, as long as they don't pierce the vitals, they should be able to live."

Ah Jiu walked over without saying a word, probed Teacher Wei's breath, then picked up the limp man like a chicken, and dragged Teacher Wei to the depths of the narrow passage.

"Yeah, it looks like it didn't hang up, let's follow."

As the road deepened, the narrow road gradually became wider, and uneven outlines began to appear on the stone walls on both sides of the road. After tens of meters, those outlines finally became clear as black stone carvings.

Glasses Chen adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said in amazement: "This stone sculpture...is it carved with ghosts and ghosts? It looks a bit creepy."

Li Qiu secretly clenched his palms tightly, because the ghosts cast by these stone carvings were extremely familiar, and they were exactly the ones he saw at the bottom of the Demon Suppressing Pool.The ferocious ghosts are lifelike, standing on both sides of the narrow road with teeth and claws, as if they will rush out of the stone confinement in the next second.The narrow road stretches all the way forward, with no end in sight, as if leading to the Nine Levels of Purgatory.

After a while, the fog filled up from all around again.

"Damn, let's hurry up. Once the fog recovers, the mechanism of the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle will probably be restarted. Even if the needle is not poisonous, labor and management don't want to be a humanoid hedgehog!"

A group of people quickened their pace, Ah Jiu dragged the unconscious Teacher Wei to the front, Chen Juzhong with glasses, Li Qiu and Zhang Boldly came to the rear.While running, Li Qiu suddenly heard the sound of metal colliding behind him.

"Don't look back." Zhang Bold pressed his head with one hand, forcibly stopped Li Qiu's movement of turning back, and then he heard Zhang Bold grinned and said: "Didn't you hear the old man at home say that when you walk at night One must never turn back, if someone calls your name from behind, then it must be a wild ghost that seduces the soul!"

"The problem is that we are not walking at night," Li Qiufen argued, "Brother Zhang, listen carefully, is there a metal thing tinkling behind us?"

"Don't scare yourself, there is no one behind the two of us, and the group of red nematodes will not enter this narrow path of fog. Let's walk all the way, there is nothing but the statues of evil spirits on both sides!"

As soon as the words came out, Zhang Bold was stunned, the two looked at each other, and turned their heads at the same time.Three meters away from them, a two-meter-tall "evil ghost" statue with strangely long hands and feet was stabbing at them with a long halberd.

"His uncle! These ghost statues are actually alive!"

"No, it's not a ghost, it seems to be a zongzi!" Li Qiu corrected loudly in a panic.

The incident happened suddenly, and the two reacted without hesitation——Zhang boldly threw out his strong rope again, bound the ghost's ankle in a circle, and pulled it hard, but the ghost was as steel Not moving at all.

Li Qiu used Zhang's bold body as a cover, waved his hand, and shot three sharp steel needles, piercing Gui Zongzi's throat.Ghost Zongzi was shot back two steps, but did not fall down, roared and rushed forward again.

"What did you throw? Talk about a gun! Don't you have a gun!" Zhang Boldly bumped into Li Qiu in dissatisfaction, and at the same time quickly retracted his rope, "You have time to threaten me with a gun. At this time How dare you take it out and use it!"

Li Qiu was also anxious, pulled Zhang Bold and turned around and ran away: "The bullets in that gun have long been emptied! And that is not my gun, it was thrown by Captain Huang in the Demon Suppressing Pool and I picked it up!"

"I rely on you to threaten me with an empty gun!"

"Don't worry about it at a time like this!"

Zhang Boldly cursed and cursed, but his hands didn't stop. He quickly tied a length of rope on both sides of the narrow road, forming a half-meter-high stumbling rope.At a height of half a meter, there is no threat to the living, but the zongzi with stiff knees cannot easily jump over.

Zongzi roared and raised his halberd, as if he was about to cut off the rope.Li Qiu turned around sharply, and three more silver lights shot out, but this time they didn't shoot at Zongzi's neck, but at the wrist holding the heavy object.

Three silver needles pierced the rotten muscle side by side, like a dagger cutting horizontally. The damaged wrist could not support the weight of the halberd, and it snapped.

Zongzi was completely enraged, roaring and ran forward, hitting the knee rope in front of him.Unexpectedly, the rope stretched suddenly after being stressed—it shrank rapidly like a rubber band, entangled the feet of the zongzi in circles, and tightened it tightly.

That rope hides a mystery, it is actually an integrated mechanism.

Li Qiu was secretly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that Zhang Bold, whose appearance was so unattractive, had equipment and skills beyond their imagination.Zhang boldly sensed the admiration in Li Qiu's eyes, and curled his nose proudly, "Hey, young people nowadays should learn more, your big brother Zhang has a lot of skills, not worse than your brother at all!"
