[Tomb Raiders Notes Sand Sea] Into the Red Dust

The stone wall above is tricky.

According to the habits of the Zhang family, if the mirrors here had nothing to do with the top, they would not have designed the depth so high and designed a very low dome, so that you only need to look up to know that there is no way to manipulate the top.

The Zhang family left a loophole.

"We have to climb up and see."

I don't know how high the stone wall above is. Gu Ran originally wanted to climb it, but Wu Xie stopped him because of his injuries all over his body. It would not be dangerous to climb to the top of the cave, so he went up by himself.

When there was still about ten meters away from the top of the cave, Wu Xie couldn't continue to climb. The top was full of stalactites, intertwined, and he could only vaguely see something inside, but they were blocked by each other. Wu Xie couldn't see it from his perspective, fat man The light below was not strong enough, even though Gu Ran had good eyesight, he couldn't see clearly what was above.

Further up, it was all smooth limestone, and there was no place to stay, so Wu Xie had no choice but to come down.

Now Gu Ran had to go up. Wu Xie originally wanted to describe the situation above to Gu Ran, but Gu Ran grabbed his hand to look at it first, and then said: "There is kerosene on it."

Wu Xie's nails are all black, full of black oil.

Gu Ran touched the surrounding stone walls, there was no kerosene, otherwise his nose would not be able to smell it, and then he climbed up for a while with his bare hands. When the height was about five or six meters, the cracks in the rocks were full of kerosene.

The kerosene in the crevices of the stones is not liquid, but gelatinous, very viscous, and burns slowly with a cotton wick, and is generally used to make long-burning lamps and torches.

Gu Ran checked it carefully, and found that the kerosene stretched along the cracks in the stone, and there were many cotton balls stuffed inside.

Wu Xie and Fatty also climbed up, Gu Ran said: "It's for lighting, I don't know what to design this thing for."

The fat man touched his chin and took out a lighter: "Comrade Marx said that practice is the only criterion for testing truth."

Before Gu Ran could stop it, the flame of the lighter had already ignited the kerosene, a fire dragon sprayed out from the crack in the rock, and the three of them immediately turned around and fell into the pool.

It was also fortunate that the reaction was quick, otherwise Zhang Qiling would not have been rescued, and there would be three more human skewers in the ancient building of the Zhang family.

The fire had already been ignited, and it was impossible to extinguish it. The fire dragon spread upward in a circle, and it took a full 10 minutes to stop at the top. All the light of the fire was reflected in the mirror, and the ancient building was like daytime.

Now that there is enough light, Gu Ran can see clearly that the roof of the cave is a very small model of an ancient building.

This mirror is a mechanism that utilizes the reflection and refraction of light. There are many lenses around the model of the ancient building shining with light spots, and at the same time, countless light spots are shining on the surrounding walls, which are moon stones.

There is a 360-degree reflection mechanism, so that no matter where they are, they will not form a shadow on the mirror and can preserve the integrity of the ancient building.

According to Wu Xie's speculation, this place may be a lighting mechanism. It turns out that it may not be sealed, and there can be sunlight. After it is sealed, it can be illuminated with kerosene, which can burn for a long time.

Gu Ran felt the air flow around him, and suddenly his face changed, "No, this is a trap!" As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of chains being pulled from the surrounding walls.

The combustion of kerosene consumes oxygen, and the outside air is sucked in, forming a large pressure difference and making an air pump mechanism.

"It's over!" the fat man yelled, "Run!"

The next moment, there was movement in the pool, a slope appeared under the feet, all the water was swirling, and the three of them were sucked in before they had time to react.

The water flow wasn't too much, at least they wouldn't suffocate to death because they accidentally touched a mechanism by mistake, and the three fell into a bunker one after another.

"This is quicksand." Gu Ran felt a strong sense of powerlessness. After he was injured, his skills were not as good as before, and he was not familiar with the mechanism, so he was almost at the mercy of others.

However, Gu Ran soon discovered that the quicksand pit was not too deep, and he stepped on something.

Gu Ran stretched out his hand and looked down, it was a bone.

"It seems that a lot of people died here." Gu Ran looked unhappy, "Let's use these bones to make a frame to increase the contact area. Let's get out of the quicksand pit first."

Although the demeanor of going out like this is not very good-looking, but at least it can save your life.

After climbing a few steps, Gu Ran suddenly heard some rustling sounds in the darkness, getting closer, and then he could hear countless muffled sounds from above, as if something had fallen from above. .

"Don't move, it's Miluotuo." Gu Ran used the dim light of the flashlight to see the things above, and then warned, "We just entered the water, and our body temperature is not high. I feel that it uses the sound to distinguish the location. There was too much movement just now, so I called him over."

The house leak happened to rain overnight, something grew out of those bones, with tentacles, before they could be identified, there were many such things growing on the roof of the cave, and then many insects fell down, like it was raining.

This is the caddisworm, which secretes a liquid that sticks stones and bones into a cocoon, and hides in it. It hurts to bite people, but generally it does not actively attack, and only runs out when it is violated.

It seems that Miluo Tuo passed by and alarmed these things.

Gu Ran said: "Don't make any noise. There are a lot of bugs falling down now, and the noise is chaotic. It can't distinguish us. It will retreat by itself after a while, let's go."

Not long after, Miluotuo shrank back, and then slowly retreated into the darkness.

"Walk."

The three of them crawled forward cautiously, trying not to make any noise, and it took nearly half an hour before they climbed onto a stone platform.

There is a stone ladder leading to the top of the stone platform, and at the end is a copper door. Gu Ran tried to pull it, but it didn't move. It must be some kind of mechanism.

None of the three were good at tricks, so they usually searched for them, but now seeing Miluotuo watching over them, they dared not make any noise at all.

Gu Ran looked at the copper door, took out Xie Yuchen's cell phone, and said softly: "I have an idea, if we can't open this door, Miluotuo should be able to, take something to stick the phone to the door, play the video, and turn it on at maximum. Voice, tell Miluotuo to open the door, let’s find another chance to go through.”

This is the only way now. The fat man spit out a piece of chewing gum from his mouth and stuck it on the back cover of the phone. The three of them retreated some distance away from the stone platform. At the same time, a loud human voice was heard.

Mi Luotuo bumped into the copper door at once, and the copper door flew out immediately, revealing the dark doorway behind, and Xie Yuchen's cell phone was instantly shattered.

There was also a lot of noise when the bronze door fell to the ground, but the hole was too narrow for Miluotuo to get in. This immediately angered it and began to hit the hole again and again.It hit too much, and every time it would cause the copper door on the ground inside to vibrate and make a sound.

"It's the first time I've seen such a heartless thing." The fat man asked Wu Xie, "Is this thing your relative?"

"You're a motherfucking lack of thoughtfulness. Find a way, we don't have time," Wu Xie said.

Gu Ran took off the assault|submachine gun from his back, and said: "Now we have to give it more stimulation to attract this thing. When I ran out of the mountain before I exploded|exploded, it was completely useless when soaked in water. Now it's up to this little baby. I'll shoot it to lure it, and you run to the hole."

Wu Xie and Fatty nodded, looked in the right direction, and were about to run away.

Gu Ran pulled the bolt of the gun, pointed the muzzle at Mi Luotuo, and fired three times.

Enraged, Mi Luotuo turned around and rushed towards Gu Ran. While shooting, Gu Ran jumped back and forth on the stone walls on both sides, buying time for Wu Xie and Fatty.

Seeing that Wu Xie and the others were almost running to the entrance of the cave, Gu Ran kicked on the stone wall, borrowed some strength from Mi Luotuo, leaped onto the stone platform in the air, and ran up the stone steps, returning back and forth as he ran. Shoot at the opposite stone wall.

The movement of Miluotuo was so loud that the bronze door inside the cave made another sound. This thing was so stubborn that it didn't care about the sound of the gun hitting the stone wall, and rushed towards the entrance of the cave.

No matter how fast Gu Ran was, he couldn't beat Mi Luotuo, who had such long arms. After being slapped by it, he rolled to the entrance of the cave, and then retreated out of the attack range of Mi Luotuo's hand with Wu Xie.

Almost all the wounds on Gu Ran's body were opened, and he collapsed on the ground.

The fat man heard that the copper door was still shaking, so he sat on the copper door and pressed it tightly. It took a long time before he retracted his hand.The vibration of the floor gradually decreased, and Miluotuo walked away.

The fat man was relieved, lying on the ground and gasping for breath: "Damn, what kind of breed is this, Gu Xiaoran, before you came out, you fought with the stuff?"

Gu Ran lay on the ground and said weakly: "It was mainly exploded by explosives. At that time, I wanted to enter Zhangjialou, so I simply bombed Mi Luotuo directly, and then walked through the passage they left behind."

The fat man suddenly remembered: "That's right, you said you went in, but you and my brother didn't go in the same place?"

Gu Ran hooked his arms and said, "You two don't just lie down, help me wrap my wound."

The recoil force of the Chong|Front|gun was too great, the wounds on his upper body were all split open in those few shots, and he was slapped by Mi Luotuo again, which was really badly injured.

Wu Xie bandaged the fat man on the left and the right, and Gu Ran said: "It should be regarded as a separate courtyard of their family. I want to find some information in the ancient books of the Zhang family. Good luck. The one I go in will have the information I want. Take it." I came out as soon as I got the information. I didn’t have it when I went in, but I could already smell the strong alkali when I came out.”

Wu Xie originally wanted to ask him why he didn't go directly to save the little brother, but then remembered that this guy couldn't protect himself from injuries.
