Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

If Brother Qiling hadn't been motionless, I really wanted to jump up and grab the person who came and ask him.

"Let's have a look first." The man walking with him was still very cautious, his voice was very hoarse, and it was even deeper when it came out through the gas mask.I saw him move the light beam back to my face and observe it for a long time, showing hesitation.

"Why don't you go and have a look? If something happens to her, it's not easy for us to do business." The woman said a little impatiently.

"Shut up." The man yelled at her in a low voice, preventing her from continuing.

The woman also knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and closed her mouth resentfully.

Now I am even more puzzled, whose order did they serve?What is the difference between this trip?

They watched for about a few minutes, and the man finally made a gesture to move forward.These two people approached us slowly, I narrowed my eyes a little, and saw their footsteps getting closer and closer to the position of the trap.

So, I began to count silently in my heart: "Three, two, one, drop!"

With a "bang", the entire piece of floating soil under the cover could not bear the weight and fell down with a loud crash.The man fell into the pit inside.At the same time, Brother Qi Ling jumped up and quickly jumped into the pit, and the two of them fought into a ball.

But my reaction was a little slow, but my movement was not slow. I followed closely behind him, jumped over the deep pit and grabbed the woman's clothes.Because the woman was walking behind the man, she did not fall into the pit.

She seemed to be shocked, she didn't expect this to happen at all, and she didn't fully react when I pulled her clothes.But after being grabbed by me, the resistance was quite fierce.I reached out to pick off her gas mask, and she swung at me with one punch.

Because of the lack of light, I was afraid that she would carry a weapon with her, so I didn't dare to get too close.The two of us used a few moves randomly, but because it was too dark, we couldn't hit the real point.When a strong wind suddenly hit, I subconsciously took two steps back.Taking advantage of this gap, she took out something from her pocket, and after pulling it away, there was a "swoosh", and then a puff of choking smoke rose from the ground.

"Fuck, it's a smoke bomb." I was so choked that I coughed and couldn't open my eyes.But he still refused to let her go, watching the black shadow flickering in the thick smoke, and couldn't help but grab her.But he didn't want to grab her hair.After I grabbed her ponytail, she couldn't run away.

I expected that she would fight back, and I was ready to let go, but I didn't expect her to draw a knife and slash at me.There was a flash of cold light, I wanted to pull my hand but it was too late, but what surprised me was that the knife didn't hit my hand, but instead made her slash her own hair cruelly.Hair falls from the knife.I let go of my hand, and then I was hit by something she didn't know, and I took another step back and fell into the pit immediately after being emptied.

On Brother Ling's side, the man had already been subdued by him, but in order to save me, he had to free his hand and catch me.The woman on the other side dragged the man away.After we fought each other, we became more certain that these two people did have some kung fu, but who sent them, I still haven't figured it out?

I coughed very badly, Qi Ling didn't care about it, and dragged me away from the place where the smoke was first.With the light source he lit, I could see clearly that the thing the woman threw at me was actually a gas mask.

"They don't seem to have any malice towards us? When that woman's hair was grabbed by me just now, she would rather cut off her own hair than chop off my hand?" I couldn't help expressing my doubts.

Brother Qiling didn't speak, he just looked me up and down carefully, and he was relieved to make sure that I was not injured.Then he glanced at the area where the two escaped, noncommittal.

"Don't chase?" I asked again.

"No need, they have already given what we asked for." After he finished speaking, he glanced down at the gas mask in my hand.

Now I am even more puzzled, I always feel that he seems to know something but is hiding it from me, and he doesn't seem to be interested in the origin of these two people, or he already has the answer in his heart.

"Do you know who they are?" I pulled him and asked seriously.

"..." He looked down at me, brushed my hair that was disheveled during the fight behind my ears, and then replied, "It's hard to say now, there is no evidence."

"Then will they still follow us?"

"Probably not anymore. I think their goal has been achieved, and their whereabouts are exposed. Knowing that we will definitely take precautions, it's meaningless to follow." Brother Qi Ling put the mask tightly on my head.He also said, "Let's take a night trip tonight? It will be safer only if we get out of the woods."

I nodded.I understand his concerns. The miasma in the woods is strong. Even if we temporarily suppress the outbreak, it is not wise to stay in this environment for a long time.

Just as we were packing up our bags and preparing to set off, there was a roaring sound in the distance. The sound was muffled, like thunder or the collapse of an earthquake.

Brother Qi Ling took two steps, looking in the direction of the voice, with a serious expression on his face.That's when I realized something might have happened.He hurriedly asked, "What's the sound?"

He pondered for a while before saying, "It was the landslide caused by the explosion."

"Landslide? Isn't such a big movement the same as Fat Brother's usual style?"

"Well, although Fatty can blast at precise locations, if he is really allowed to find the tomb, it is generally not a last resort to use so many explosives inside. He must have encountered some trouble."

After hearing this, I couldn't help but feel nervous. It's not too late. The two of us hurriedly packed our things and rushed towards the direction of the sound overnight.It is difficult to walk in the dark, and we are still walking in the dense jungle. Needless to say, it was a difficult night, but it was smooth after all. When it was dawn, we got out of the forest and came to a wide lake.And on the ridge of the green mountain on the opposite bank, a large area has collapsed.

"Could this be the source of that voice last night?" I asked Brother Ling.

He nodded, and then said: "This is the crescent-shaped middle point, surrounded by left and right, with a bright hall in front of it, and the incoming water stops here to gather wind and water..."

I heard him say a lot of geomantic terms, but I couldn't quite understand them. I guessed that the meaning behind the words probably meant that the geomantic omen here is very good.After finishing speaking, he helped me take off the mask, seeing my tired face, knowing that I was too tired last night, he proposed to rest on the spot and cook something to eat first.

I'm very worried about Fat Brother's situation, and I don't want to waste any more time.Brother Qi Ling naturally understood my thoughts, so he said: "It's useless to be anxious now, I'm going to make a raft to cross the lake first, you go to cook something to eat, and then take a good rest after eating." After finishing speaking, he patted me Head, go to work.

Looking at the terrain here, crossing the lake is indeed the fastest way, but if you don't have the tools to cross the lake, it is indeed useless to worry.I obediently took out the cooking utensils, cooked some wild mushroom soup and ate it with dry food.Brother Qiling cut down a lot of half-sized tree poles and tied them together with vines, and peeled off a piece of bark to use as oars.

After I was full, I had nothing to do, so I took out my machete, chopped a tree trunk, and sharpened one end. I planned to see if I could fork a fish to improve my food when I crossed the lake.It's okay to eat two meals of this crispy rice, but if you eat it for a few days, you will become extremely tired.

Brother Qi Ling ate something casually, and saw that I was not sleepy, holding a harpoon and eager to try it out, so he had no choice but to push the raft into the water.The two of us took our bags, jumped on it, and started heading towards the opposite bank.

This lake is the confluence of two incoming waters. Of course, there is also a source of groundwater.Because it is all spring water, the flowing water is gentle and there are few waves. The surface of the lake is very clear, and you can vaguely see the dark green aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake.Brother Qiling was paddling ahead, while I stared into the water with the harpoon I had made, to see if there were any passing fish.

As the saying goes: "When the water is clear, there will be no fish." This is not always true, because occasionally a few lake fish can still be seen swimming by.It's just that spearfishing is far from as simple as imagined. Either it is not aligned, or the rod is not deep enough, and the fish will run away without a trace when it is frightened.

I tossed and tossed for a long time but still got nothing. Brother Qiling saw that I was a little frustrated, so he told me: "Because of the refraction of light, the fish seen on the water surface is a virtual image, which is higher than the actual position of the fish. The farther away from the fish, the lower the fork. The angle of the lower fork should be closer to yourself, and when the fish is close, the angle of the lower fork should be closer to the virtual image of the fish."

After analyzing the principle clearly, my confidence came back a bit, so I simply stood up, this time I was bound to catch a fish before giving up.At this time, we have already rowed to the center of the lake. The water here is relatively turbid, because the place where the mountain collapsed is getting closer and closer, and a lot of mud and rocks have collapsed and filled the bottom of the lake.

Brother Qiling stopped paddling and stood up, looking at the mountain in front of him in silence.

"Is there really a tomb in this mountain?" I stared at the water and asked him casually.

After a while, he replied: "Yes, and it must be extraordinary."

These words made me immediately interested, is it another prince level?Or imperial level?Then the fat brother will not return empty-handed this time.I can also take this opportunity to blackmail him. If I'm lucky, not only can I solve the life-long event, but I can also give him a full pension for the rest of my life. That would be perfect!I seem to have seen the scene of He Qiling lying carefree on the beach basking in the sun.

Just when I was thinking about it, a ripple suddenly appeared on the surface of the water, and it seemed that a big fish was passing under the water.

"Hey, little boy, it's finally here!" I adjusted my posture, and using the method taught by Brother Ling, I stabbed at the moving black mass under the raft.

This pole really seemed to have been stabbed by something, and a dark red bloody water suddenly surged in the water.But to my surprise, it sank very much and struggled a lot because of the pain.

Seeing that I couldn't lift it up, I thought it was a big fish. In order to prevent it from escaping, I lay down on the raft and fished it down with my hand along the fork.In the muddy water, my fingers touched a ball of soft fluff, so I didn't care about Sanqi 21, and pulled it up first.

Brother Qiling saw that there was quite a lot of movement here, so he turned around and planned to help me.But I didn't expect that the things I slipped in my hand just broke out of the water.He also shouted eagerly, "Let go quickly." At the same time, he stepped forward and dragged me back.

Before I understood what was going on, a black shadow flashed in front of my eyes, carrying water splashes and a strong earthy smell.If Brother Qi Ling hadn't pulled me a few inches away, those sharp claws would have pulled my eyes away.

"What?" I stepped back on the raft in horror and pulled out my machete.

"It's a water ghost." After Qi Ling finished speaking, he loaded the pistol, aimed at the bottom of the pole standing in the water and fired a few more shots, which caused the pole to drift further away.
