[Tomb Raiders Notes Sand Sea] Into the Red Dust

Now this huge purple eye is the original eye, and there is another eye that grows on top of this eye, which is not often opened, and it is the shadow eye.Legend has it that Zhu Jiuyin's dark eye is connected to hell, and if you take a look at it, you will be possessed by evil spirits, and after a long time, you will become a monster with a human head and a snake body.

Now this Zhu Jiuyin's attention is not on the three of them at all, it is staring at the bottom of the water, it should be afraid of the sudden attack of the giant python.

Wu Xie thought for a while and said: "There should be an exit on the top of the cave. As long as the water level rises high enough, we can go out from above. But after all, this place is too close to the top of the mountain, so I don't know where it can go. And there is this candle Jiuyin, if it suddenly attacks us..."

Gu Ran recalled the scene when he climbed to the top of the bronze tree. It was not far from the top of the cave. He didn't pay attention to whether there was a cave entrance.He hesitated and said, "It should be possible to go out from the top to see where the water level rises. If it doesn't work, let's climb up from the bronze tree. The top of the bronze tree is not far from the top of the cave. As for this Zhujiuyin..."

Gu Ran looked at the giant snake covered with scales, and sighed: "We just want to get out from above, it shouldn't make things difficult for us." Seeing that Wu Xie and Master Liang didn't believe his words, he sighed again Said, "If we really fight, it may not be able to do anything to me. Zhu Jiuyin is only guarding the bronze tree. There is no need to take such a big risk to prevent us from going out. If you didn't enter the coffin, it might not will come out."

Not long after, several white masks floated up from the water, they were the shells of Chi Gu, Gu Ran picked one up and looked, it was empty inside, probably a lot of Chi Gu are floating in the water now.Gu Ran's face instantly became very ugly.With so many Chi Gu, he was really helpless.

Wu Xie also found the mask, picked up a flashlight and dived into the water to see that the bugs were crawling on the body of the giant python, and there were a lot of white flowers.As soon as these bugs saw Wu Xie's flashlight, they immediately bounced off the giant python and surrounded Wu Xie and the other three.

"Damn it!" Gu Ran yelled, and suddenly saw Wu Xie bit his hand, blood gushed out, his hand waved in the water, the blood fainted, the Gu worm rushed in front of the three of them and swam away again , dare not approach.Swarms of bugs formed a wall of bugs in front of the three of them.

Gu Ran was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Wu Xie, with a strange expression on his face: "Have you eaten Qilin Dried?"

Wu Xie subconsciously nodded.

Gu Ran let out a "tsk", now whether Wu Xie has eaten the dried unicorn is not the point, there is too much water here, Wu Xie's blood won't last long, he pointed to the bronze tree: "Let's go to the tree."

Gu Ran never expected that as soon as the three of them climbed the bronze tree, Zhu Jiuyin would turn to stare at them, his eyes were bloodshot and his eyes were very strange.

Gu Ran was not affected, but Wu Xie suddenly had a feeling that his soul was being pulled away. He only felt strong nausea and dizziness, and immediately turned his face away. Master Liang was already bewitched.

Obviously, Gu Ran made a mistake in his judgment, Zhu Jiuyin was not harmless towards them, on the contrary, this Zhu Jiuyin might not want to kill them now.Gu Ran's brain was running fast, thinking frantically how to get the two of them out now, but before he could figure it out, Wu Xie picked up a handful of water and poured it on Zhu Jiuyin's head.

"If you see it right, you'll die if you splash it!" Gu Ran cursed, Wu Xie obviously wanted to wake up Master Liang, but accidentally splashed it on Zhu Jiuyin's face.

Gu Ran took out a gun with one hand, and pinched Master Liang heavily with the other, bringing people back to their senses.He pointed the gun at Zhu Jiuyin's eyes, ready to shoot at any time.

Zhu Jiuyin folded his neck and made an attacking gesture. Gu Ran acted first and fired several shots in a row. His marksmanship was very accurate, and they all hit Zhu Jiuyin's eyes.

Zhu Jiuyin twisted her body crazily in pain, her tail slapping the rock, Gu Ran didn't have time to tell Wu Xie and Master Liang, she jumped up from the spot, climbed onto the bronze branch and shot after Zhu Jiuyin's eyes.

There was already a huge crack on the stone wall, but after Zhu Jiuyin hit it, the crack spread, and the entire mountain surface was cracked continuously. The crack that came out rushed through.

"Enter the water, run in the direction of the water!" Gu Ran shouted, and chased after Zhu Jiuyin and fired a few more shots. When he ran out of bullets, he threw away the gun in his hand, and plunged into the water, heading towards the crack. Swimmed in the direction.

Just now when Zhu Jiuyin's tail was beating wildly, Master Liang and Wu Xie were both thrown into the water, and the two were washed away. Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, and when he woke up, he could no longer see Master Liang. , the rocks on the mountain collapsed in large chunks, and there was no way to find Master Liang. Wu Xie heard Gu Ran's shout again, leaned back quickly, and was swept into the gap along the water flow.

Gu Ran vaguely saw Wu Xie entering the gap in front of him, and hurriedly swam forward along the direction of the current, and after a few minutes, he could be regarded as catching up with Wu Xie.The water was too fast, rushing around, he was able to stabilize his body in the water, it was not easy to see the front, and he couldn't pull Wu Xie together, so he just aimed at the wider part of the river and passed Wu Xie. At least he was in front and could clearly see the direction of the river ahead.

After a few more minutes, Gu Ran saw a cliff in front of him, so he quickly turned around and pulled Wu Xie back. After a free fall, the two of them fell directly into the water again. Fortunately, the drop here was not too big.This is the underground river when we came here. The water flow is much faster than in the morning. There should be a heavy rain outside, and the mountain torrents have risen.

The course of the underground river was fairly smooth, but Wu Xie suddenly found something engraved on the river wall, and pulled Gu Ran to look at it, "These relief sculptures record the sacrifices of ancient ethnic minorities!"

Gu Ran glanced at it, and was immediately stunned. He was offering sacrifices to the bronze tree, which was similar to his method hundreds of years ago.They hung their slaves on bronze trees, and the blood ran down the trunk.Another relief depicts them throwing the slave's body into the bronze tree.

Gu Ran pointed to the picture and asked, "You guys came out of the bronze tree, what's in there?"

"You didn't go in?" Wu Xie was a little surprised, and then told Gu Ran about the strange scene they saw inside, "There is a coffin room, and after entering it, there is a large space, and there is a corpse cocoon inside, Zhu Jiu The yin is below. But I don’t know whether it’s really like this inside, or if we imagined it. Inside the bronze tree, whatever I think subconsciously in my mind, seems to appear.”

Gu Ran nodded, but didn't make a sound, he should go to the bronze tree to have a look.It’s just that it’s too late to think about anything now. He continued to look at the murals. The ancients poured some liquid into the bronze tree, and then saw Zhu Jiuyin crawling out of the bronze tree. Many warrior-like ancestors surrounded him with bows and arrows and spears. Zhu Jiuyin is obviously hunting.

If according to this picture, Zhu Jiuyin was not arranged by the ancient She people to guard the bronze tree here, but was the enemy of the She people?

Gu Ran only felt that his mind was in a mess, which was completely contrary to all his previous guesses.

Some ceremonial content is also engraved in the relief at the back. In each ceremony, there is a particularly burly person, but this person has a snake's head on his neck.

The totem of the ancient She Kingdom is a double-bodied snake with a human face and a snake body, so what is the origin of the snake head with a human body?But the mural below did not give Gu Ran an answer.Whether it is Zhu Jiuyin or the ancient She Kingdom, they have been buried in time with the history of thousands of years. Gu Ran can't think of an answer, and there is a great possibility that he will never get an answer in his lifetime.

These almost belong to the content of prehistoric civilization, there are too many undetectable.

Gu Ran has no obsession with these disappearing histories, even though he knows that he and She Guo have a little bit of kinship going back up.This time, he had enough memories.

The flashlight was almost out of power, and it was inconvenient to take a spare battery from the bag while floating in the water, so the two turned off the flashlight and drifted in the dark.After drifting for several hours, Gu Ran's spirit has fallen into a hollow state. He has no energy to think about anything anymore. More importantly, there is still a long way to go to get out of the underground river To get out of the Qinling Mountains.

A light suddenly appeared in front of him. Gu Ran concentrated on listening, and quickly grabbed Wu Xie. The speed of the water flow was too fast. Before he could speak, he felt that his body was empty, and it was another free fall.This is a very high waterfall, Gu Ran can only reflect to this extent, after more than ten hours of rafting, his body has almost reached its limit, and it is difficult to protect himself and Wu Xie in the waterfall.

When the two fell into the water, Gu Ran only felt that Wu Xie had bumped into something, and Wu Xie's body softened.Gu Ran quickly surfaced upstream, and saw that Wu Xie had passed out.He touched Wu Xie's head, the injury was not serious, it should just be knocked out.

Fortunately, the two of them had already gone out of the mountain. Gu Ran took a look. This place should not be far from Jiazigou. It was a river channel, and it was already safe.Gu Ran dragged Wu Xie up to the shore, and after pulling him up, he lay down on the shore and gasped for breath. Even his body couldn't take it anymore.

Gu Ran pulled Wu Xie's wrist and glanced at his watch. It was already the morning of the third day. They stayed in the tomb for nearly a day and a night, and drifted for more than ten hours.Anyway, no one will come here, so Gu Ran checked his body first, and there were only some scattered flesh wounds on his body, so he ignored it for now, and quickly checked Wu Xie's body, and found that his arm was dislocated and several bones were broken due to the impact .

This is hard to do.
