Dream of Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 138 Deep Pit

It's the same as the deep pit they saw before, but they can be sure that this pit didn't exist when they came, as if it was arched out by something.

Wu Xie felt something was wrong, and urged the fat man to leave quickly, but the fat man did not leave at this time.He said: "Did you see that there was something flashing on the wall of the pit just now?"

"What is it?" Wu Xie asked.

"I don't know, it's on the edge of the pit." The fat man looked at Wu Xie, then at Mengli, who was supporting the little brother, and suddenly said: "The thieves don't leave empty space, there may be something good, I have to go down and have a look. You wait for me for a few minutes."

A picture flashed through my mind, and Mengli hurriedly shouted: "Fatty, come back to me!! After you go back, you can pick any thing from the Liuli Pavilion!"

But he didn't listen, and said: "I can't take advantage of you, sister, it's just a matter of a few minutes, you wait." After saying that, he went into the water to search.

There was no other way but to pray that he would hurry up.

But it is not easy. Most of the tiles are buried under the debris. Searching among the pottery is not like in the sea, where the sand is relatively soft. Just slide down the pit, and it is difficult for people to maintain balance.The surface is fine, but it is very difficult to dig out a few pieces and then dig deeper. Sometimes I see a piece of pottery and I just can’t get it out, as if it grows inside.

After digging a few times, the fat man seemed to have found the target. He floated to the surface to breathe and then dived down again. He inserted his hands into the dug pottery pit and broke it out. When he came back, his hands were bleeding.

"Oops!" Wu Xie yelled secretly, wondering if she was bitten by the snake king?But the fat man didn't show signs of being poisoned, but the wound seemed to be quite deep.

He took a breath with his mouth, then changed hands and broke it hard again, pulling out the bone, and then floated up.

"What's going on?" Wu Xie asked from the side.

"There seems to be a thorn in this bone, it hurts me to death." The fat man sucked his fingers while shaking the dried skull, and beckoned Wu Xie to shine the miner's lamp over.

Wu Xie muttered: "Look, do your own crimes." Walking over to give him light, as soon as he got to his side, he suddenly heard a series of dull "grunt" sounds coming from under him, and then a series of voices came up. of blisters.

Both Fatty and Wu Xie were stunned for a moment, the bubbles stopped for a while, and then came up again in a series of "gurgling".

"Wu Xie, fat man, go away! It's too dangerous here!" Mengli suddenly had a bad feeling, and hurriedly told them to go away.

Just as they walked around the deep pit, they suddenly felt that their feet were empty, and something seemed to be bubbling under the water, and they suddenly sank in the water.

The pottery shards under their feet moved and slid straight to one place. They quickly used the miner's lamp to illuminate their feet, and found a large pit on the bottom of the water bed, which connected with the pit on the side to form a very deep cave.It turned out that there was a space below, but somehow, why did it suddenly collapse?

Looking to the side, I saw that the little brother was pulled into the pit along with the collapse, and his feet were tightly wrapped in the pottery shards. Meng Li hurriedly hugged him to pull him out, but there was force under it, as if Something was grabbing his foot and pulling it down.

"Brother!" Mengli shouted while pulling him, but the little brother didn't respond at all, half of her face was already in the water, and she felt that she was about to be pulled down.

Wu Xie and Fatty also quickly came up to help, but fortunately, Fatty was strong enough to pull the little brother up, and he was lifted up and started coughing.

"Who the hell is farting? Do you still have a sense of public morality..." Fatty suddenly said dissatisfied.

As soon as the words fell, Wu Xie and Mengli also smelled a very foul smell, but this smell was not what the fat man said, but rather like the smell of a stinky drain. It is possible that the sewer below came here.

The fat man took a miner's lamp to illuminate the bottom of the water, and the collapse below gradually expanded, but some stopped, and soon a hole about half the size of a basketball court appeared in front of them, dark and faint, like a big mouth, trying to swallow them .From time to time, bubbles would come up from below, and there was a foul smell all around.

Wu Xie remembered that it was the smell of marsh gas. This hole must have existed in the first place. Maybe something like a wooden beam was added to it before. After decay, it still maintains a fragile balance. This balance can continue when there is no external force. Thousands of years, but if there is any damage, the wooden beams will collapse.The collapsed hole might have been caused by a broken wooden beam, and the fat man dug tiles at the edge, which caused a chain reaction.

"Dog, shit," the fat man said, "Why does it seem like everything is empty down here?"

It shouldn't be deep below, but the water was stirred up just now and became muddy, and it was impossible to see the bottom, Wu Xie said, "The bottom here may be a layer that was built to prevent ghost head pots." Seeing him walking towards the edge again, he said, " Be careful, I stepped on it just now, it was still strong, and suddenly it collapsed, the **** may be empty under this place, and now a piece of it has collapsed, don't have another chain reaction later, forming a vortex and we are all finished. "

"Got it," said the fat man, "Hey, what is this?"

Wu Xie followed his flashlight and saw something floating up from the deep pit.

"Stay away." The fat man reminded, Meng Li pulled the little brother back a little distance, Wu Xie also retreated to the side of them, and the fat man focused the miner's light on that thing.

Those things came up quickly, and soon surfaced out of the hole. At this time, they could see clearly that they were all rotten wood and branches, mixed with a lot of indistinguishable cotton-like garbage. These should be The sediment that was pressed in the silt below was stirred up by the falling pottery, and there was a lot of muddy water with it.For a while, the visibility near the entrance of the cave became worse and worse.

The fat man picked up a few branches, all of which were entwined with rubbish, and got the smelly mud in his hand. He threw it away from a distance, and said, "I...fuck, we dug out the old mud bottom of this mud bubble. , It stinks to death, he. Damn it! Isn’t this the cesspit from before?”

Wu Xie said: "Your family only uses such a big cesspit. If you shit in this cesspit, you may die if your feet slip. Can you pull it out?"

Fatty is so good at talking, if this is a cesspit, shitting is more nervous than bungee jumping, and elephants dare not use it. The ancestors of the West Queen Mother Kingdom would not torture themselves like this, would they?

"Maybe it's because the queen wants to cultivate the concept of being prepared for danger in times of peace among her people, so that they will be alert when shitting." The fat man said seriously.

Wu Xie knew that the fat man was joking, but he couldn't laugh at all, because the surrounding area was too smelly, and these must be the smell accumulated after the head rotted.

Mengli couldn't stand the two of them, and she was about to leave with her little brother, but she still urged: "Go! It's too dangerous here! If you don't leave, I will leave first."

"Understood!" the fat man replied.

They covered their noses and were about to leave, when the fat man picked up another object from the water, but it wasn't a tree branch. He let out a "huh" and lifted it up: "Damn, what do you think this is?"

Wu Xie looked at him, and felt that it looked like a small human head, but without facial features, it was covered with rotten black mud, and it was surrounded by things like fine tentacles.

"What the hell?" Wu Xie asked.

The fat man threw it over, and Wu Xie caught it in the air, only to realize that it was not big, so he washed it with water, and soon the black mud on the outside was washed off, revealing the green and rusty surface inside.

He shook it and said strangely, "It's a military kettle."

"kettle?"

"Old style, something from decades ago. I can tell it just by looking at the shape. I still have one at home. Look, there are still characters here." Wu Xie turned the kettle over.

On the bottom of the kettle there is indeed a string of words stamped with a steel seal, which was not deep in the first place, and it is even more unclear now. It seems that it may be the place of production.

The two looked at each other, and said to each other: What's going on?How did this jug float up from this hole?

Seeing this, Meng Li didn't care about the two of them, it was useless, so she rolled her eyes, dragged her brother and left.

The space under the water should be a river bottom made of gravel and pottery fragments. Although I don’t know what it looked like thousands of years ago, it must have been like this in the past few hundred years. How could there be a kettle?Wu Xie thought about it, but didn't pay attention to Mengli and brother.

The fat man said, "Could it be the part of those reactionary armed forces who fled here?"

"It's possible." Wu Xie said, "But the problem is not this, the problem is why this thing is here?"

"Perhaps a reactionary also came here and fell to his death in this hole by chance."

Wu Xie shook his head and said: "Impossible, this balanced structure can only exist once, if it collapsed before, it will either be a hole, or it will be filled by the later sand, and there will be no more pits covered by pottery fragments. "

The fat man said, "How do you know?"

"Boss, this is common sense." Wu Xie rolled his eyes.

"It's also possible that it drifted down here from other places, and the bottom of this place may be completely empty." The fat man said.

"It's possible in theory, but it's very difficult in practice. The kettle will float and get stuck on the hollow dome. It's not so easy to float..." Wu Xie said, before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt his feet move, this " "moving" was outrageous, it felt like my feet bulged a bit.He immediately opened his hands to keep his balance, and said to the fat man, "Be careful, it's about to collapse again."

At this time, the fat man scolded his mother: "Your common sense is wrong."
