Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

The top of the head is full of lush green trees, and the leaves cover the sun tightly. Even in the daytime, standing under the trees feels very dark. Being alone in this very primitive jungle, there is an inexplicable depression. This feeling made me instantly alert. If this is Tamutuo, it is probably the legendary place of death, because my second uncle mentioned before that there is a very strange and poisonous snake here, and The number is astonishing. My feet tremble a little when I think of the so-called astonishing number.

Then no one knew that I secretly made a special "realgar suit", that is, put a thick layer of realgar powder in the interlayer of the clothes, and then sewed it up. I wrapped it in a waterproof bag and put it at the bottom of the backpack along the way. I just turned it out and put it on now. In order not to hurt my skin, I dare not wear it next to my body. Because realgar has a special smell, snakes are very sensitive to its smell. I hope this will help me drive away those terrible snakes. A little farther away, maybe this kind of strange thing can only be thought of by people like me who are extremely afraid of snakes.

Then I threw some wet leaves into the fire to make some thick smoke, hoping that Poker-Face or Second Uncle would join me as soon as they saw it.

If no one comes after dark, then I will spend the night alone in this bush. Just waiting here is not the solution, the most important thing is to first confirm your position and then find a safe place to spend the night.

I found a relatively tall tree, climbed to the top of the tree and had a look from a distance, I couldn't help being surprised, I finally got a general view of the forest, and at the same time I almost fell from the branch in surprise, I saw it was a forest. The oasis deeply embedded in the hinterland of the desert has extremely dense vegetation. I don’t know how many years it has existed. It was mentioned in the Yangshao culture that thousands of years ago, the northwest of China was densely covered with rivers and the waterways were very developed. The road provides many necessary conditions, but after thousands of years, due to the climate and crustal movement, it is probably impossible to have such a large number of original vegetation here, but now, I am really Being in it, it's really emotional.

A little sunlight shines through the leaves and turns into dots of light. Looking at the top of the head, the sun is already westward, and my current position is in the hinterland of the jungle. I slid down and made an obvious big mark on the tree. The second uncle and the others haven't come out of the pool yet. They must have found another way out. I have to meet them as soon as possible.

Then I found a slightly easier path and groped my way forward. The ground under the tree was very humid due to the lack of sunlight for many years. I found a handy tree pole as a hand to explore the road, and walked very carefully.

The deeper you go, the more difficult the road is. The ground turns into a swamp. With every step, the mud sinks deep into the little feet. It is very strenuous to walk. The surrounding jungle is as quiet as death. I finally understand the kind of depression and Where did the feeling of uneasiness come from? It was this unusual tranquility that was frightening, not even the sound of birds singing.

My heart was almost in my throat, I kept looking around, walking very vigilantly, the sky gradually darkened, and after walking for several hours, I was finally tired and almost paralyzed in the mud, so I had to stop and find Prepare to spend the night under a slightly dry tree.

Pushing aside the grass under the tree, a lot of grass ticks immediately surged up, but probably because they were afraid of the smell of realgar on my body, they immediately ran away in all directions. After I checked again, I was sure that they were all gone. , just spread the waterproof cloth, and then found some dry firewood to light the fire.

My feet were soaked in muddy water for several hours, and the wrinkled ones started to peel off. I took off my shoes and socks and baked them comfortably. Then I ate some dry food, which solved the problem of food and clothing, and I felt a little better.Then I started to feel sleepy. I took the gun out of my bag and put it on my chest to be on guard at any time. Then I leaned against the tree and squinted my eyes half-dozed. I didn't dare to sleep for a moment, I really didn't know how to stay until dawn.

But I seem to have overestimated my physical instincts, forgetting that I have not closed my eyes for more than 36 hours, and my eyelids started to fight within 10 minutes. The state of extreme sleepiness is really more uncomfortable than death. In the end, I can only comfort I am wearing a "realgar suit" anyway, and generally snakes and insects don't dare to get close to them. If a large animal comes over, there will definitely be movement. Then I will wait for you with the gun in my hand. Thinking about it this way, I feel at ease. Quite a few, finally gave up resisting, let the sleepy bug gain the upper hand, and fell asleep in a daze.

I don’t know how long I’ve been asleep, but a gust of cold wind blows by, I can’t help shivering, and then I wake up, I don’t know when the fire has been extinguished, I stayed for a few seconds before I remembered my situation, and quickly took out my pocket I looked around with the flashlight in my pocket, but luckily nothing happened.

I looked at my watch and found that I had slept for four hours unknowingly, and my energy was greatly replenished. I got up and moved around, and was about to go to pick up some firewood and come back. The sound was like the sound of a frog jumping into a pond, and then there was a "clack-clack" sound, which sounded like a chicken crowing.

Where did the rooster crow in the middle of the night? If it was a pheasant crowing, it would not be so early. I turned off the flashlight, hid behind a tree and put my whole body on guard. Some.

Because the sound was so surprising and so close, my scalp felt numb when I heard it. I put the gun on my back and climbed up the tree, thinking that if there was any situation, the tree could be both offensive and defensive, so maybe it would be safer. When I was about to climb to the first branch at three or four meters, a deep human voice came from my ear, the voice was very close to me, it scared me so much that I almost fell off the tree, I adjusted my hand gestures to cling to it On the tree, I didn't dare to move. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement again. I couldn't help but wonder if I was too nervous and had auditory hallucinations. Then I moved up a few steps, and then I heard another sentence The human voice was clearer than before. I turned on the flashlight with my free hand and asked loudly, "Who? Who's up there?"

The voice seemed to be teasing me on purpose, and disappeared again. I cursed: "Damn, people will scare people to death. I suddenly thought that the fat man was joking with me. He deliberately exercised my courage. Think about it carefully." It's impossible, he is the most impatient, if he sees me here, he doesn't know what kind of fuss he will make."

Without being sure whether the other party was a human or a ghost, I didn't dare to act rashly anymore, so I could only stand there. Fortunately, I was standing on a branch of a tree, so I could use a little strength. I turned off the light again. I fell into the darkness again, and I didn't dare to pant, because I was quite sure that there must be something alive on the tree.

Sure enough, not long after, there was a fine rustling sound from the leaves above, and then the branches swayed slightly. Only then did I realize what a serious mistake I had made. I thought it was safe on the tree, but I didn't know Many dangerous animals can also climb trees, and at the moment they seem to be waiting for me to take the bait.

I took a deep breath, adjusted my posture and prepared to retreat quietly. When I was about to fall, another sentence came from above my ear. This time I finally heard it clearly. word.

It is saying: "Little brother... giggling."

"Brother? Poor oil bottle." The person who made me wading through mountains and rivers?Almost at the same time, I immediately turned on the flashlight and followed the sound.

After my eyes got used to the darkness, I finally saw clearly that there was a finger-thin snake hovering not far from the top of my head. What a wonderful thing inside!

I couldn't help laughing at it, and I don't know where the courage came from so that I wasn't very scared. After calming down a little, I found that it was just staring at me, as if it didn't want to attack immediately, so I retreated slowly as planned to slide down.

But as long as I slide down a certain distance, it will follow up immediately, unhurriedly, as if it is not afraid of me running away. This kind of calmness puts a lot of pressure on me. I slid a few times, trying to get rid of it, but my thoughts seemed to be seen through immediately, and it immediately followed.

At a distance of about two or three meters from the ground, when I was thinking about whether to jump directly, another sentence came from above: "Brother...Brother...Brother." I suddenly raised my head and looked clearly. It turned out that this sound...it actually came from the snake's mouth that was spitting out a message.

How could a snake talk?Is there such a talking snake in the world?It’s been a long time since I’ve lived so many strange things have happened to me.

Because this discovery shocked me too much, it was too unexpected, and I couldn't help slipping, and fell down quickly. Fortunately, the height was limited, and I didn't suffer any injuries. As soon as my feet touched the ground, I immediately retreated a few meters away. The snake came up so fast, I picked up the heavy backpack and threw it towards its raised neck.

This flick knocked it seven or eight meters away, and just when I wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, the snake got up after rolling in the mud, raised its neck again, and let out a high-pitched "giggle..." the sound of.

Although the sound was weird, it made me feel very funny. I thought to myself, you are not a hen. Such a brightly colored snake, there are also such snakes running down the surrounding trees, and there are hundreds of them by visual inspection. It turns out that they all had a meeting on the top of the tree just now!

I cursed bad luck, thinking that a good man would not suffer from immediate losses, so I ran away first.

Then he picked up his bag and ran in the dark without distinguishing the direction. A group of giggling red snakes obviously gathered behind him, chasing me quickly to attack me.

I ran desperately in the mud with one deep foot and one shallow foot. I just wanted to get rid of the snakes behind me as soon as possible, but I didn't care about my feet. Suddenly I was tripped by a tree root in the mud and fell heavily. In the mud, I thought: "It's over now, I'm going to become a snake snack." The rustling sound is coming soon, but at this time they seem to have shifted their target, and when they crawled to me, they didn't seem to see it. As if there was no one else around, they crawled over, some even passed my body, but they moved away very quickly.

Damn, if I had known this, I would still be running a fart!How can I run past snakes, because I was too nervous just now, I completely forgot that I still have custom-made realgar clothes." Although these snakes look weird, they are still snakes after all, and they probably don't like the smell of realgar!

Thinking of this, I secretly raised my face to change my breath, and saw the shadow of the snakes rushing forward, as if I had been summoned by something. Because there were too many of them, just to be prudent, I lay still in the mud until I was sure that the snakes had left. It was far away, and the silence was restored everywhere before I got up from the mud.

For the rest of my life after the catastrophe, I didn’t even dare to breathe heavily, because my nasal cavity was full of mud, so I had to find the lost flashlight first, then find a place with deep water, wash my face first, and then take off my coat and muddy clothes After coming down, simply expose the "realgar clothes" to the outside, so that the smell is stronger.

The second uncle only said that there are many snakes here, but he didn't say so much, and he can speak human language, which made me completely unprepared and almost scared me to death. Next time I see him, I must criticize him.

When I was about to sort it out, there was a sudden sound in front of me that pierced the silence, and then a burst of flames exploded into a dazzling light in the dark sky. My heart stopped beating instantly. Who was sending out the "signal flare"?
