Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

Chapter 80 The Unexpected Corpse

The forest is very quiet, only the occasional sound of the torch burning in my hand. My heart beats very fast. The forest at night leaves an indelible sense of fear in my memory. Fortunately, there is no fog tonight. It was wet and clear, but the visibility was still high.

The series of footprints are still very clear, but I can feel that her steps seem to be getting bigger and bigger, and at the end the footprints become very messy, as if she started to run, I began to worry, the dumb sister must have encountered some kind of situation. become vigilant.

I only have two flares I got from Wu Xie and my second uncle’s firing gun. I don’t have any other weapons. Thinking of how easy the “Xiong Sui” was so useful, I regret that I didn’t make more. A must for the jungle.

The further we walked, the deeper the swamp became. Once there was more water in the swamp, the footprints could not be seen clearly, and there was still no movement around. I heard from Jin Suanzi that the snakes would not come out without fog. That dumb sister What did you see?That's why he ran so eagerly.

Although I was anxious, there was nothing I could do without clues. It seemed that I could only go back and discuss with them before making a decision. Just as I was about to return, I was suddenly attracted by a faint beam of light above my head.

The light was yellowish, and looked like a flashlight whose battery was about to run out. It was a distance and height away from me. I touched it quietly, and when I got closer, I realized it was a black flashlight. It was hanging high on the wall at the moment. On the tree fork, looking at the model, it should belong to Ms. Dumb.

Why is she hanging the lamp on the tree?Could it be that she is hiding in a tree, thinking about it, since she is hiding in a tree, it is impossible to be so stupid and turn on the light to attract others, it should be to attract the attention of something on purpose, think about it, no matter what it is, my current position It's all too dangerous.

I climbed to the tree and took off the flashlight, tied the torch to it, and then hid not far away to monitor for a long time, but I didn't see any unusual movement. If the dumb sister is really nearby, I must She would have been there long ago.

what's the problem?

I was very unwilling, so I climbed up the tree again and searched carefully, but there was no one, and I wondered what the hell Mister Dumb was doing?Why did she hang the flashlight in this position? I stared blankly at the flashlight that was about to run out of power in my hand. Could it be that she found something on this tree and forgot to bring it in a hurry.

The trunk of this tree is very thick, and it is covered with vines. It is very convenient for people to climb on it. Other than that, there is nothing special about it. I took off the torch again and looked around. The weather tonight is really special Well, I can even see the starry sky outside through the gaps in the leaves.

Even at night, when you see the sky, you will have a feeling that you are still alive in the world, and you are not really isolated from the world.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the sound of "ba da da da" footsteps not far away.

The sound was very soft, but it was still very clear in this strangely quiet forest. I immediately put out the torch and chased after the sound.

After so many things, I discovered that as long as many human potentials are discovered and trained, they will become unbelievable even to myself. At this moment in this dark jungle where I can't see my fingers, I dare to tell the direction just by the sound , If this is not to mention tracking before, it would have hit a tree without falling into a ditch.

Soon I followed the man's footsteps, but after chasing a clump of grass, there was no more movement, but the sound of running water came from around. Could it be that there is a river in front?

Quietly pulled out the grass and took a look, the inside was pitch black, except for the sound of running water, I couldn’t see anything clearly. I remembered that Mister Dumb’s flashlight still had a little power, so I tried to turn it on, and the faint light came out immediately. I scolded the dumb sister in my heart, what a waste of resources, and I don't know how long this thing can last.

Thinking about it, he looked into the sound of running water.

What caught my eye was a wave of shimmering and wriggling things. When I didn’t look carefully, I thought it was just a tree vine hanging from it. After I looked carefully, my back felt a chill, and this coldness hit my scalp directly. They also started to feel numb, what kind of vines are there, they are clearly snakes sticking to the stone wall, densely packed, their long bodies swaying with the water flow, it seems that the number is hard to estimate.

I subconsciously started to retreat, backed out of the grass, and when I was about to find a safe place to live, there was a crackling sound in the grass. When I looked closely, a pair of human hands stretched out from the grass.

For a moment, the fear that had been suppressed in my throat for a long time was about to come out of my mouth, when I was suddenly pulled by someone behind me, and then my mouth was also sealed by his hand. I was quickly dragged behind the nearby tree, I glanced at the person next to me, and this person turned out to be Ms. Dumb. She made a silent gesture to me, and then let me go.

We poked our heads quietly and looked in the direction of the grass, only to see a dark figure crawling out of it. The man didn't stand up after climbing out of the grass, but walked quickly while hanging on the ground with hands and feet.

The dumb sister shouted in a deep voice, "Quick, catch up."

I didn't hesitate, and rushed out with her immediately.

The man walked very strangely, rather than saying that he was walking, it was more like crawling. If he was not human, then his human limbs and limbs were very obvious. The dumb sister ran very fast, and realized that I was still the first I saw her become so excited and fanatical once, but I didn't have time to think about it, so I could only follow behind her with all my strength.

We followed for a long way, and finally the man got into a dry culvert, and then the dumb sister got in without hesitation, and I had no choice but to follow in without retreating.

The space inside is not big, not like the previous culvert, there is only one entrance when entering, and the inside is more like a natural cave formed naturally, the walls are full of densely packed small pores.

What's even more strange is that the person we followed in disappeared!

There is no other exit here, where will he go?

There is not much space inside, and we dare not act rashly, fearing that something might happen, we had to retreat to the entrance first. If there is an accident suddenly, there is a way to retreat. The dumb sister lit the lighter on her body, and we dared not speak. They can look at each other and do things by looking at each other.

She gestured to me to stay still, and she slowly moved in by herself, constantly looking around for movement.

There was silence all around, and the person who crawled in seemed to have suddenly evaporated. If we hadn't witnessed it with our own eyes, I might have thought it was my hallucination.

The dumb sister turned around, found nothing unusual, and walked back. I lowered my voice and asked her, "Why did that person disappear?"

She shook her head, also looking puzzled.

Just as we were about to exit the hole, my head suddenly felt cold. I didn’t know what was dripping on it. I touched the sticky ground with my hand. I immediately pulled away the dumb sister, turned to the side vigilantly, and then looked for a flashlight to shine on it. , the sight above almost scared us to death.

I saw many corpses sticking densely on it. It is not accurate to say that it is sticky. It can only be said that it is tied to the top of the cave by vines. Moreover, these corpses do not look corrupted, as if they had just died.

The dumb sister suddenly screamed in panic, then took out the knife on her body, and swung it wildly upwards. I went to pull her, but she threw it aside forcefully. I thought to myself that this woman has become so crazy, probably crazy Bar!The calmness and indifference of the past are all gone at this moment.

I didn't dare to persuade her anymore, so I could only let her, a corpse wrapped in the vines she cut off slid down and landed on the ground. I took a look, and it was a thin man about 170 in height. corpse.

I saw the dumb sister knelt on the ground tremblingly, weeping bitterly, muttering a name in her mouth, it was a name I was familiar with, "Third Master... Sanxing."

Wu Sansheng, Wu Xie's third uncle.

The author has something to say:

In fact, I cried when I wrote this chapter. I don’t want this kind of ending, but I just want to give myself a relief. I also admire the third uncle very much.
