Tomb Raiders

Chapter 23 The Great Treasure

Shen Liaobai was stunned by what happened at this moment, he heard footsteps, it was Chu Yuyang who ran out from the corridor.

"Get down—" Chu Yuyang shouted while running.

Shen Liaobai stood still in a daze, his mind went blank, he didn't know how to react, until he was thrown down by Chu Yuyang and crushed under him.He heard a deafening sound, the entire tomb was shaking, huge rubble fell from the top, a cloud of dust flew up, rushing into the nose, choking people coughing, leaving only murmurs in the ears, which took a long time to dissipate.

After the shaking of the tomb stopped, Chu Yuyang immediately went to check the situation of Hanzhang next to the coffin. Hanzhang was lying on the ground with a pale face. When he got up, a long bloodstain on the coffin next to him dragged all the way to the ground, which looked shocking.He tried Hanzhang's breath, it was very weak.

Wen Hao's complexion was not much better than Hanzhang's, he pinched Hanzhang's wrist, his hand trembled so much that he could hardly control his pulse, he gritted his teeth and managed to utter a few words, "He...will he die? "

"What are you panicking about!" Chu Yuyang frowned slightly and said.

Wen Hao just came back to his senses, he took a few deep breaths, took out the box containing the medicine from his waist pocket, fed Hanzhang with the remaining water, and re-felt his pulse, saying: "He has lost too much blood. , and I don’t know if the thing just now is poisonous, the medicine I gave him just now can only temporarily stop the bleeding and control the injury, if you want to make a proper diagnosis and treatment, you must take him back to Chu’s house.”

Chu Yuyang helped Hanzhang up, and said: "I have already blasted the exit passage, you take him first."

Shen Liaobai just wanted to go to help, but saw two red dots lit up in the darkness above his head - it was the monster's eyes, maybe it was the blood smell that he tasted just now that stimulated its ferocity, and it again Without hiding his tracks, the red light flickered across the tomb, and quickly rushed towards Chu Yuyang.Shen Liaobai didn't know what was wrong with him, his mind was almost blank, and his body had already started to move.

He rushed straight at the monster. The monster didn't expect another person to jump out of nowhere, paused for a moment, and then turned to grab his shoulder with its claws, and the sharp fingertips were firmly embedded in the flesh. The difference was that The monster didn't shake him off, just grabbed him and jumped into the darkness again.

The monster's hook claws were deeply embedded in the flesh, Shen Liaobai could feel the sticky blood on his shoulders, and the burning sensation on his back that had subsided for a long time surged up again, this time the pain was worse than before The pain came so fast that he could almost feel the blood in his body slowly flowing along the pulsating blood vessels to his back and gather at the shoulder blades. He vaguely thought that the tattoos were probably working again.But it was obvious that this monster was much more powerful than Guiying. Although his movements were a bit sluggish, he did not give up on Shen Liaobai.

The monster grabbed him and jumped nimbly among the stalagmites, and finally entered a circular cave at the top, throwing Shen Liaobai on the ground.It looked at its paws—if those hollow eye sockets, which just glowed red and had no eyeballs, counted as eyes.Its hand had been burned, and a hole had been burnt through the palm.

The flaming around the waist almost disappeared at this time, Shen Liaobai could only see the outline of the monster, it looked very human, but any part of its body was larger than ordinary people, and its whole body was red and fiery , even including sharp nails, and there is flesh under the shriveled skin, so it looks extraordinarily strong.

The huge monster could only hunched over in the cave, probably because it was afraid of the power of the tattoos on Shen Liaobai's body, it didn't dare to get close, it sniffed around Shen Liaobai with its nose like a dog, and the red light Flickering, Shen Liaobai felt that there was something inside, but he couldn't see it clearly.

"Shen Liaobai...Shen Liaobai..."

Chu Yuyang's shout was a little weak when it reached the top, and Shen Liaobai felt that there was a little instability in his voice.

The monster stared at him right in front of Shen Liaobai, Shen Liaobai was afraid of angering the monster, so he pursed his lips tightly and dared not answer.The monster looked at him, then looked outside, finally let out a low growl, and jumped out of the hole.

The fiery green light finally shone brightly again.

Shen Liaobai turned his head and checked the wound on his shoulder. It was bloody and not serious.He tore off a large piece of cloth from his clothes, bit one end in his mouth, and operated with one hand, enduring the pain to bandage the wound.

Fortunately, his legs and feet were not injured, Shen Liaobai stood up, the cave was bigger than he imagined, on his left, there were three corpses, and two gold bricks were revealed from the bundles casually thrown beside them, Shen Liaobai almost immediately Thinking of Chu Yuyang's previous guess, if it is correct, then these three corpses should belong to the previous group.

The heads of the three corpses were lowered, and the flesh on their feet was torn. It may be that the monster prevented them from escaping, or it was used as food by the monster.Shen Liaobai walked slowly to the side of the corpse, tore off a rag, took a deep breath, and raised the heads of the corpses one by one.The cave was dark and cold, and the water brought in had the effect of accumulating shade, so the three corpses were decomposed very lightly.

Three corpses, two old and one young, fortunately Yingqing was not among them.Five of them came in, and there were two missing here, which meant that Yingqing might have escaped.And Chu Yuyang's father may be among those who escaped, or he may be one of the three corpses here.Shen Liaobai could only write down the faces of the three of them, and draw them for Chu Yuyang to identify them after they left the tomb.

Shen Liaobai untied the bag next to the corpse. Inside were some gold bricks and jewels, which looked nothing unusual, and he didn't know what Song Qiancheng wanted.

He stood up and bowed to these corpses. When he raised his head, out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently glanced at a jade gate behind him, but it was only vaguely hidden. A layer of gold had just been extinguished, but he hadn't noticed such a conspicuous thing.Shen Liaobai pushed open the door, and the space behind Yumen was at least twice as big as the cave he was in now.

He stepped over the threshold and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.The space behind the Yumen Gate is filled with gold and treasures. The gold cast into uniform long squares is stacked layer upon layer by the wall. Even if a layer of dust falls on it, it does not conceal the golden brilliance at all. Countless, and that's not counting the scattered jewels.

No wonder no funerary objects have been seen along the way. It turned out that they were piled up here in a unified way. This is the treasure cave where Zhang Jiao has accumulated treasures for decades.

Speaking of Zhang Jiao, Shen Liaobai was taken aback. Could it be that the monster just now was Zhang Jiao?After all, in this tomb, apart from his giant sarcophagus, there is no other mystery.But how did he become like this, even if he was turned into a dead body by the breath of a living person, he would at most turn into a rotting corpse that he had seen outside.

But this monster is different, he seems to have a mind of his own.Shen Liaobai immediately felt that his thoughts were a little funny, even if he is a hero of all ages, he is only a corpse after death, how could he have the thinking of a living person.

Shen Liaobai didn't stay any longer, he planned to join Chu Yuyang first, and just walked to the entrance of the cave, he heard the sound of fighting, it should be that the monster and Chu Yuyang had already fought.The distance from the ground here is higher than he imagined, and the fire of Chu Yuyang has been extinguished, so Shen Liaobai can only judge Chu Yuyang's position by the sound.

But how to go down became a problem, he didn't have a rope, and it was impossible for him to climb the stalagmite like a monster.He moved the canopy to the stone wall below the cave, and there were some chaotic grooves on the stone wall, which should have been left by the artisans who brought the treasure up.

Shen Liaobai stepped on the groove and climbed down, the wound on his shoulder was painful, and the blood soaked the bandaged rags.Painful sweat flowed down his neck into his clothes. Shen Liaobai didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of distracting Chu Yuyang. The monster seemed to want to consume Chu Yuyang's energy, so the fighting sound usually lasted for a while and then stopped.

After finally climbing to the ground, Shen Liaobai's whole body was soaked in sweat. He supported the stone wall to rest for a while, but when he turned his head, he was facing Song Qiancheng's ghostly face under the bonfire.

"What the hell are you doing?" Shen Liaobai asked in a low voice.

Song Qiancheng didn't speak, his face was pale, his eyes were dull, and he seemed to be in a daze.

Shen Liaobai frowned. The reason why they didn't find the groove on the wall before was because this guy deliberately blocked it here, "If you want something, go up and get it yourself, don't play tricks here."

Song Qiancheng let out a long sigh, and said quietly: "Mountains of gold and silver, what have I to do, what I want is no longer here."

A trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. Song Qiancheng coughed twice, clutching his chest, as if in pain.

Shen Liaobai didn't know when he was injured, he hesitated for a moment, but still supported Song Qiancheng and let him sit down.Song Qiancheng's hands were extremely cold, very similar to... the touch of the corpses he touched in the cave just now.

Song Qiancheng leaned against the stone wall dying, staring at Shen Liaobai motionlessly with his dilated pupils.

Could it be that this guy was also injured by a monster? Shen Liaobai checked his body, and there was no obvious external injury, but he is not a doctor after all, and he couldn't tell if he was injured inside, so he could only say "Song Qiancheng, hold on, I'll send you to Prince Ding's mansion immediately after you get out, and Prince Ding will definitely send the best doctor to treat you."

Song Qiancheng showed no expression, his eyes seemed to be looking at Shen Liaobai in front of him, and seemed to pass through him, looking at something else, "With Zhang Jiao who has turned into Wuqimin, can he get out?

Shen Liaobai was startled, he didn't hear what Song Qiancheng said before, but he still replied firmly, "Of course, I believe in Chu Yuyang."

Song Qiancheng moved his eyes and smiled slightly. He patted Shen Liaobai's shoulder, but quickly moved his hand away with a frown, "What's on your shoulder?" He spread his burned palm Show it to Shen Liaobai.

Shen Liaobai touched his back, and the tingling sensation became more and more obvious, indicating that the tattoo was still extending without limit, and he didn't know how far the tattoo had extended, but the wound on his shoulder was no longer bleeding, "I'm sorry, I I have tattoos on my shoulders to ward off evil spirits, but I don’t know that it can also work on ordinary people.”

Song Qiancheng shook his head and said, "Okay, you go and help Chu Yuyang, otherwise the five of us won't be able to get out."

"But," Shen Liaobai frowned and said, "I'm only going to make trouble for him."

After resting for a while, Song Qiancheng's complexion looked better than before. He took out a pack of red things from his pocket and handed it to Shen Liaobai, saying: "This is passed down from my ancestors, and it is specially used to deal with this kind of non-human and non-ghost. It’s just that I haven’t tried it, so I don’t know if it’s useful, so you can try it.”

At this moment, the sound of fighting stopped again, all the bonfires were extinguished, and there was no sound in the tomb. The monster hid itself in the darkness again, waiting for an opportunity to attack everyone.Shen Liaobai took the things from Song Qiancheng, paused and said, "Thank you, be careful."
