[Tomb Raiders Notes Sand Sea] Into the Red Dust

You have to climb carefully.

What's more, Gu Ran is not sure now whether the unicorn blood that has been killed after so long can still be used.

If it can't be used, it will take some effort to pass the upper section of the road.

Gu Ran simply hung on the bronze branch to rest. He has never rested all the way from the altar, and now he feels a little tired.Gu Ran dug out a pack of compressed biscuits from his bag, and started to chew on it while soaking in the water. He didn't think it was too bad.

After resting for 10 minutes, Gu Ran took out a rope from his bag, put his backpack back on his back, and began to climb up.When approaching the mask, those Chi Gu moved as if they sensed a person, and crawled towards Gu Ran along the bronze branches.

Gu Ran knew at a glance that the dumb Zhang's blood was useless, so he quickly climbed up. He didn't know how many Chi Gu there were. If the whole tree above was full of Chi Gu, Gu Ran would really have no way to climb to the top of the tree. .No matter how powerful he is, he can't stop the Chi Gu's numbers.

Although Gu Ran's speed is fast, after all he is a human being with a large size, and the bronze branches here are too dense, so it is difficult for him to use his skills.But the Chi Gu is different, these little things are completely unaffected, and they climb extremely fast along the bronze branches.

A Chi Gu wrapped around his foot.

Gu Ran kicked it, but didn't shake it off, so he could only pull it down with his hands, but found that it was easy to pull it off.He thought for a while, and then tried to reach out to the place where the Chi Gu was densely populated. Part of the mask stayed in place or retreated, while the other part crawled over unaffected.

Gu Ran understood now, it wasn't that Dumb Zhang's blood was not easy to use, but that the bandage was wrapped around his wound and was also stained with his blood, the two kinds of blood mixed together, reducing the blood concentration.Moreover, the area of ​​the bandage is too small, it is not as good as dumb Zhang is covered with high-purity unicorn blood, so it can only take a little effect.

And this insect Gu is bred by humans, and it is divided into three, six or nine grades. Some Chi Gu will be afraid of this little bit of impure unicorn blood, while some Chi Gu are more advanced, so they are not afraid of this thing.

This bandage is somehow useful, and it is also good to scare off some Chi Gu.

Gu Ran thought about it, and simply untied the rope he took out from the bag just now. In terms of climbing ability, he is definitely not as good as these masks, so he can only use some other means.

Gu Ran shook the rope, held one end and threw it upwards, and it was entangled with a bronze branch. Gu Ran kicked his feet, and the relay directly flew into the air, and he jumped up. He grabbed the bronze branch wrapped by the rope, The whole back is arched outwards, and the feet are on the bronze branches below, thus avoiding the fate of being poked into a sieve by the bronze branches.

Gu Ran untied the rope, threw it up again, and the person rose into the air again.This kind of risk is extremely high, if the rope is not wrapped properly, or if the figure in the air is not controlled and hits the bronze branch, Gu Ran may die at any time.But this method is good because the speed is extremely fast, the masks below can't catch up with him at all, and the time he stays in one place is very short, and the number of new masks that are alarmed is limited.

This was really exhausting, and Gu Ran was out of breath after climbing 400 meters like this.Fortunately, Gu Ran fired a signal flare up and found that the top of the bronze tree was not far away, and it was about 200 meters away.

Gu Ran heaved a sigh of relief, the bronze branches on the top became sparse again, and it was easier to climb than the densest section. He could climb up quickly without the help of a rope, and he still had the physical strength for 200 meters.

Gu Ran put away the rope and started to climb up again. Soon, he found something was wrong.There are still Chi Gu masks on this section of the bronze trunk, but the strange thing is that there are fewer and fewer masks close to Gu Ran, and when he is about to climb to the top, no masks dare to approach him. The tree trunk was motionless, as if it was dead.

Gu Ran didn't want to think about the reason, he just thought it was a normal phenomenon near the top of the tree, because in his memory, when he was bleeding on the top of the tree, there was no Chi Gu activity.

At the top of the bronze tree, there are no more horizontal bronze branches here. The top of the bronze trunk is a ten-meter round platform with a relief of a double-faced snake carved on it. In the middle, there is an area about half a meter in diameter without relief. There is only one engraved word on it.Gu Ran identified it, it was the word "sacrifice" in bronze, and this bronze tree was used for sacrifices.

Gu Ran squatted down and touched the word. It seemed that there was a special attraction for him. Then he found that the moment he put his palm on the word, his fingertips began to ooze blood. The more it oozes, the whole palm is bleeding, just like under the bronze tree.

Strangely, Gu Ran didn't feel any pain, nor did he feel any discomfort caused by blood loss.

What's even more strange is that the blood did not flow down the bronze trunk, but filled the entire carving of the word "Sacrifice".

The bleeding stopped.

Gu Ran withdrew his hand, his head buzzed, as if being pricked by a needle.Countless pictures suddenly appeared in his mind, which were his past.

The huge amount of memories caused Gu Ran to fall into a semi-comatose state in a short period of time. He fell down on the bronze tree, recalling the scenes he had experienced.

Gu Ran was born in the Yuan Dynasty, the era when the Tartars invaded and the Han people were as humble as ants.He was born in a scholarly family, but at that age, reading was useless.

His family was in decline, his parents died of illness one after another, and Gu Ran was living alone in the rivers and lakes, and there was no need to describe the hardships during this period.In short, in order to stay away from the Mongolian court, he has been active in the southwest area. By chance, he discovered the secret of the immortal.

It may be that the time is too long, and many memories are already very vague. Gu Ran can only recall that he really started to seek immortality and Taoism at that time.The so-called unknown years in the mountains, he found that when he reached the bottleneck in his cultivation, the court had changed outside, and it was already a great Ming country.

Later, Gu Ran discovered that the reason why he couldn't break through the bottleneck in his cultivation was because the world had lost enough immortal energy, even without the source of cultivation, so naturally he couldn't achieve immortality.But judging from the secrets of immortals he had discovered, this world was not like this in the first place, there were people who really succeeded in seeking immortality.

Gu Ran began to look for the reason.

He discovered longevity, and he also discovered the bronze tree.

Legend has it that the ancestors of the She Kingdom could fulfill their wishes through sacrifices, and in the long years, Gu Ran discovered that his ancestors were the ancestors of the She Kingdom. He left the Qinling Mountains, entered the Central Plains, and married the Han people.Therefore, Gu Ran has the blood of Gu Sheguo on his body.

Gu Ran finally came to the bronze tree as a sacrifice.

After the sacrifice, Gu Ran was still Gu Ran, as if nothing had changed, but he knew that the bottleneck was gone.

As for what happened later, Gu Ran still couldn't recall, whether he became a fairy or not, and why his memory disappeared strangely, he couldn't remember anything.

Gu Ran sat on the ground for a while, digesting the memory fragments in his mind. He had an intuition that the meaning of his trip to the Bronze Tree had already been achieved, and the subsequent memory was to trace the past after he left Qinling. Look for it again.

Gu Ran suddenly heard the slight sound of insects, he looked around, but Chi Gu did not catch up, and no insects appeared.After being dazed for a while, Gu Ran remembered that this was not a bug in the ancient tomb, but the bug Gu on his body—Wu Xie was in danger.

It was only then that Gu Ran remembered that he had been stuck in memory on the top of the bronze tree for an unknown amount of time. He had always been proud of himself for being good at estimating time, so he didn't develop the habit of wearing a watch when going out like Wu Xie. Now I don't know what night it is.

Before he had time to think about it, Gu Ran stared at the movements of the Gu worms to identify the direction, then turned over and got off the tree. As soon as Gu Ran landed on the trunk, he heard the sound of violent fighting coming from below. Nothing was heard on the top, and the surroundings were quiet, as if there was an enchantment blocking the outside world.

The movement below was getting louder and louder, as if something had hit the stone wall, and the muffled sound made one's teeth ache.This is no longer a movement that can be made by people fighting with each other. I'm afraid it wasn't Wu Xie and others who disturbed something in the tomb.Gu Ran directly wrapped the rope around the handle of the dagger, confirmed Wu Xie's position, and threw the dagger out forcefully. Immediately afterwards, he swung out with the rope and jumped directly onto the altar in the middle of the bronze tree , and then pulled the rope, and took back the dagger stuck in the stone wall.

Gu Ran saw Wu Xie lying on the altar in a panic at a glance, pulled him up, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Wu Xie pointed to the inside of the bronze tree, "There is a giant one-eyed snake."

Seeing Gu Ran, the old itchy cursed, "Why the hell are you pouring it out now?"

Gu Ran didn't have time to pay attention to the old itchy, he stared at the altar, the things inside gave him a familiar and dangerous feeling, he urged: "Hurry up and go!"

Wu Xie and Lao Xie climbed up the climbing rope that was used as a rope bridge before. This rope was already very fragile, and part of the other end fixed with the climbing pick had been torn away by the violent impact. Pulled by the weight of the big man, the climbing pick went straight out.Gu Ran put away the dagger, and took out two pistols from his backpack. Fortunately, he asked Hei Xiazi to help prepare these things.He was staring at the coffin room, only to hear a loud "bang", the coffin room bulged, cracked several cracks, and a giant black one-eyed snake poked its head out.

The one-eyed giant snake seemed to have not seen Gu Ran, its huge eyes turned towards Wu Xie and Lao Itching, and Lao Itching saw that something was wrong, so he immediately slashed with a long knife, cutting off the climbing rope,
