Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

Ah Jiu held a gun in one hand and pressed the dagger in his knee pocket with the other, and silently sneaked to the entrance of the cave like a cheetah.

After a while, the roar of the tornado was completely far away, but there was a strange sound in the air—creepy, the sound of teeth chewing flesh and blood.

Ah Jiu rubbed his nose. If he still can't smell such a strong smell of blood and rancidity, then he will really go to hell.

The chewing sound came from multiple directions, which meant that there was more than one "crisis" outside.Ah Jiu relaxed his body, pressed his body against the cave wall, and kept his breathing rate to a minimum. Unless there was a heat-sensing instrument outside, it would be difficult to distinguish his exact existence—but after only holding on for two seconds, Ah Jiu gave up— — There is also a sleeping woman in the cave, and a puppy whose teeth are chattering deafeningly. It is impossible to escape the predators who are eating outside.

If you can't hide, you will fight.

Ah Jiu picked out a large clod of soil from the hole and threw it out as fast as lightning.

Just as the clod of soil came out of the hole, a huge shadow flashed across the hole like lightning, and its huge size was far beyond the sight of the hole.Ah Jiu waited for this opportunity, rubbed her body, twisted her body, and then jumped out of the hole, just stuck in the moment after the shadow passed by.

However, at this moment, another shadow rushed out from the side, and its eerie fangs went straight to Ah Jiu's throat.

Ah Jiu had been prepared for a long time, and deftly turned back with one hand on the ground, jumped out of the attack range, and threw the empty sound of fangs clenching three meters away.

As soon as Ah Jiu landed, the third shadow roared and fell from behind him.One strike for bait, two strikes for pursuit, this third strike is the real killing move.The series of three strikes between lightning and lightning calculated all possibilities, and it was impossible for Ah Jiu to dodge again, so he stopped dodging at all—the dagger was unsheathed and inserted horizontally into the side of the huge shadow. With the dagger as the fulcrum, he turned and jumped up, flipped over the huge shadowy body in the air, and landed firmly on the grass beside him.

Everything happened in just a few seconds. If Feng Tianjiao was present, what he saw would probably be just a blur of moving images.

Ah Jiu glanced at the rancid blood on the dagger, and said "Tsk", "I thought it was some kind of beast, but it turned out to be Hongji."

I saw more than a dozen ferocious red-haired beasts wandering on the grassland with a square of [-] meters. Each of these high-intelligence subterranean beasts is the size of an off-road vehicle, like a jackal or a hyena, with sparse red hair and overgrown fangs. In the unknown corner deep in the grassland, it looks like a ghost.

But more often, they appear in underground tombs.Hongji is good at digging holes, so it often uses human burials as its lair.Rumor has it that the earliest grassland tomb robbers used Hongji's cave as evidence to find the big tomb.

And now, this group of red jellyfish is eating.

Ah Jiu looked around, and there were many skeletonized horses and goats scattered around the entrance of the cave. It seemed that these unlucky domestic animals were brought here by the tornado, and after landing, they happened to become the rations for the red jellyfish who fell from the sky.Ah Jiu doesn't think that Hongji's appearance here is accidental. With the IQ of this kind of beast, it is not difficult to realize the good fortune brought by the tornado. I am afraid that he has already become accustomed to appearing after the tornado and preying on places where the strong wind passes.

These killers hiding in the wind are the truth of the "devil wind" and "killer wind" in the local population.

A series of attacks by the three red jackals didn't work, so they let out a low roar, and paced around Ah Jiu unwillingly, waiting for an opportunity to find a flaw.

Ah Jiu raised his eyebrows, and teasingly flicked the dagger hooked on his fingertips. A cold light flashed across the dagger, and the sensitive Hong Jie immediately took a few steps back vigilantly, ready to fight.

Seeing that this bold "prey" had no intention of catching it without a fight, the leader of the red jay let out a long whistle, and the hong yan scattered nearby gathered one after another. There were nearly ten of them, intending to hunt Ah Jiu.

"Smart, but not smart enough." Ah Jiu shook his head regretfully, and focused his eyes on the leader of the red jerk. "Didn't you learn the principle of capturing the king first before you capture the thief? This way, I won't have to spend time identifying who is the leader among you."

Hongji squinted his ugly eyes, and dripped saliva from his big mouth full of fangs, as if he understood Ah Jiu's words, he spit out a few mouthfuls of hot air violently.

Ah Jiu was suspicious, and suddenly thought of something - Hongji is good at digging holes, and even better at ambush and sneak attacks, so why put on this posture of surrounding the furnace.

It's a trap!The red jerk in front of him was only trying to attract his attention, delaying time, so that his companions could dig a hole and sneak in—to eat Feng Tianjiao in the robbery hole!

Thinking of this, Ah Jiu had already turned around and ran towards the entrance of the cave. The leader of the Hongji behind him let out a low growl, and the beasts who had been waiting for a long time swarmed towards Ah Jiu in a tearful manner!

Ah Jiu's pupils darkened for a moment, locked on to a grassy ground not far away, shook out his long blade and pierced into the soil!

Three feet below the ground came the roar of the beast in pain, and the blood of the beast splashed the ground.

It was only one meter away, and it was only one meter away from biting the delicious woman in the robbery cave, but within this meter distance, the dagger stabbed by the ground pierced through the forehead and died on the spot!

Without looking back, Ah Jiu raised his arm and fired his gun, fighting together with the red jiaos who came one after another.

On the other side of the prairie, Li Qiu, who was riding his horse, seemed to sense something, hissed and stopped his horse.

Li Qiu listened attentively for a while, not quite sure whether the moment just now was just an illusion, just to be on the safe side, he still struggled to lift off the thick windbreaker and took out the mobile phone in his backpack.

There was no new content on the phone, it was still a text message from Hao Yang fifteen minutes ago, it was nothing serious, it was just nagging him to go back early and take Ah Jiu away.

I don't know how Ah Jiu is doing now, whether he is in danger, or whether the task of finding people is going well.

Li Qiu stuffed the phone back, used the compass and transmitter to relocate the direction, and continued to walk north.After an unknown period of time, the grass on the ground gradually thinned out, and rolling mountains and dense forests appeared in the distance.

The signal became clearer and clearer, Li Qiu jumped off his horse, tied the tired horse in the woods, and walked towards the location indicated by the signal.

After a few hundred meters, he found three or four army green camping tents deep in the woods.The ground in the middle of the tent had traces of the bonfire burning, but it was quiet, as if no one was there.

Li Qiu cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Hey - is there anyone here? Can I borrow a glass of water?"

No one answered.

Li Qiu yelled twice, paused for a while, and then yelled again: "By the way, do you know? There is a bar called 'Yanghuzi' in the old alley of Min'an Street. Add water to the wine, and add—wine—essence—”

"It's enough for you, kid!" Accompanied by an angry growl, a skinny figure emerged from the tent. His face was obviously full of anger, but he couldn't stop the hunchback in his eyes. Follow Shang Yunkuang and his party into the "Sea Pole" on the grassland.

Li Qiu walked out with a smile and met Hai Ganzi face to face.Hai Ganzi pointed at him angrily and said, "Sure enough, that's what you're thinking, isn't it? You also mixed water and alcohol, isn't it because I poured you two wines to lose your virginity? As for the memory of revenge!"

"Master's wine is delicious. Of course, those who drink it will never forget it. Well, tell me how your situation is."

Hai Ganzi rubbed his head angrily, his waist straightened, his joints trembled, and his timid and timid demeanor was swept away. He didn't see any big movements, but he changed into another temperament.Hai Ganzi took off the thin layer of human skin mask on his face, rubbed his hands together, and quickly returned to his normal appearance—the appearance of a master.

Li Qiu reminded with a smile: "There is still a beard."

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot my most precious beard." The master sneaked into the tent, carefully took out a beard and stuck it on his chin, and admired it repeatedly in the mirror, quite satisfied.

Taking advantage of this gap, Li Qiu checked a few tents, and sure enough, they were all empty.

While pressing his beard, the master gave a concise introduction: "Eighteen of them came back. Including me, a temporary recruit, there are 19 in total. The Shang family took the lead, eight people came out, the Chen family three, and the rest were retail investors. .Look, how many idle fishes are attracted by a gimmick of longevity.”

"What about the fight?"

"Yuan Dynasty Dou, it can't be the tomb of an emperor, it's probably the tomb of a foreign clan. But when the Shang family publicized it to the outside world, they kept saying that there was a legend of longevity in it, which attracted so many people. Tsk, rumors are really serious these days. 0 cost."

Li Qiu chuckled: "Although the Mongols value geomantic omen, they always burial lightly, and the tombs are poor and hard to find. They spread the hype about this fight, will anyone really believe it?"

"Be dubious, otherwise, the team this time will not only have 19 people. In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that gold, silver, treasures and so on—don't even think about it. If you are exhausted, you will find a few ancient weapons and hang them on the bedside to make for yourself. Make a memorial."

"Longevity... or Changshengtian..." Li Qiu murmured to himself.

Among the ancient nomads, there have been legends about the supreme god of "Heaven" for thousands of years.Tengger and Changshengtian are both pronouns for gods, and they are also the origin of these national beliefs.

Now the concept of "Longevity Sky" is used to confuse "Longevity Screen" and hype it. Fortunately, Shang's family can figure it out.

The master pointed to the depths of the forest, where there was a gentle gravel hillside. "Although Dou is at the bottom of the grassland, the entrance they found is there. They have been in for nearly 12 hours, and there is no news yet, but they have all the equipment and supplies, so there should be no major problems."

After Li Qiu inspected the last tent, he finally looked at the gravel hillside in the distance.Just like what Master said, this inverted team has been prepared to go to the ground for a long time since the beginning, so only some insignificant discarded items were thrown in the tent, and no clothes were left behind.

"So, only you were left behind?"

The master shrugged his shoulders: "It's the 'Hai Ganzi' who was left behind. I feel that they invited the grassland guides on a temporary basis, and it was of no use at all. They spoke very strictly in front of me along the way, and after setting up camp, they told me to stay behind. Take care of the tent where they are, and wait for them to come back with peace of mind."

Li Qiu nodded, "It's not too late, pack up your equipment and let's go, this time the time is very tight."

The master looked at Li Qiu, opened his mouth hesitantly, and finally scratched his head irritably.

"What's the matter, master, what's the problem?"

The master sighed, and said uncomfortably: "I don't know if I should tell you something, but this time... Shang Yunkuang is here."

Li Qiu's hand holding the bag paused, and the emotion in his eyes changed drastically.

"You and him..." The master scratched the beard on his chin, and carefully considered his words, "Anyway, it's good that you know about this matter, and you have a good idea. He came face to face with—"

Li Qiu smiled lightly, and interrupted the master's words: "Don't worry, master, if we really meet, I won't sit still. We should have made a complete settlement with the Shang family."
