Tomb Raider: I Can Hear Antiques Talk

Chapter 132 Corpse Fragrant Konjac Seedlings

Several members of the archaeological team frowned when they smelled the smell of alcohol, either sneezing or coughing, but they all felt refreshed a lot.

Hu Bayi smiled dryly at Shirley Yang: "I didn't expect that we are colleagues. No wonder you said that your family is very traditional. This tradition is indeed deeply rooted. Don't call us a thief. We are all trying to make money." Captain..."

Shirley Yang glanced at him: "Who is with you. But I planned to go back and talk to you about these things."

Xiao Ran watched the fat man walking towards Hao Aiguo with the alcohol smell, and quickly said to Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Anyway, there's nothing wrong now. You two have a good chat. I'll go and see Hao Aiguo."

At this time, the fat man was holding a small alcohol pill and stuffing it into Hao Aiguo's nose. Hao Aiguo sniffled and slowly opened his eyes.

"Old Antique? You're awake! Do you know Mr. Fatty? Come on, can you see if it's two or three?"

While talking, the fat man stretched out a finger and took out the handkerchief from Hao Aiguo's mouth.

Hao Aiguo stared blankly at his fat fingers for a long time, then suddenly opened his mouth to bite, causing the fat man to jump back a long way in fright.

"Fucking old antique, you are going to turn into a rice dumpling... a mad dog!" the fat man scolded.

Hao Aiguo laughed "hehehe" and said: "Red, red, green, so fragrant, so beautiful, take it home, hehehe..."

The fat man turned his head helplessly and said to Professor Chen and the others: "Yes, there is still no cure. If you leave him here with the Prophet, it will be useless if you take him back."

Professor Chen knew he was talking nonsense, so he just shook his head with a frown.

Xiao Ran squatted in front of Hao Aiguo, looked at that stupid smiling face, and thought of what he said just now.Although Xiao Ran knew that Hao Aiguo's madness and the painting on the stone box were definitely caused by Corpse Fragrance Konjac, but why did Hao Aiguo go crazy alone?And what did he mean by taking it home?
Could it be...

Xiao Ran suddenly thought of something, he rummaged through all the pockets on Hao Aiguo's body, except for some notebooks, ballpoint pens, pencils, etc., Hao Aiguo's pockets were really cleaner than his face.

He opened Hao Aiguo's backpack again, which contained only some daily necessities and a few small black stones from Mount Zagrama, which the archaeological team wanted to take back as research samples.

But they are now in Mount Zagrama, and there are black stones everywhere along the way, so they won't go crazy because of this.Besides, what Hao Aiguo said was red, red, green, and green, which obviously meant corpse-flavored konjac.

Xiao Ran stretched out his hand to unbutton Hao Aiguo's collar, to check if there were any wounds on his body.But as soon as his hand approached Hao Aiguo's neck, Hao Aiguo shrank back instinctively.

The key lies in the neck, Xiao Ran instantly realized it.He stretched out his hand to grab Hao Aiguo's neck again, unexpectedly, Hao Aiguo went crazy again, kept screaming and struggling to dodge, and wanted to bite Xiao Ran's hand.

Seeing this, the fat man on the side came over to help.Xiao Ran said to the fat man: "Brother Fatty, hold him down and show the stalk of his neck!"

Hearing this, the fat man pushed Hao Aiguo to the ground, and his bear-like body lay on Hao Aiguo's back.

"My god, this is... this is... what... something..."

The fat man stared at the back of Hao Aiguo's neck, and his tone of voice gradually became confused.Xiao Ran quickly put the alcohol smell in front of the fat man's nose and shook his face, then turned his face aside: "Close your eyes, don't look!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled out the Guanshan knife, which was still shining with a red light that only he could see.He carefully pointed the tip of the knife at Hao Aiguo's neck, and slowly stretched it out.

"Xiaoran! Although Patriotic is crazy, you can't kill him!"

Seeing this, Professor Chen patted his legs anxiously.The three students, as well as Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang in the distance, also hurried over after hearing the sound.

Xiao Ran ignored other people's voices, but carefully placed the tip of the knife on Hao Aiguo's neck, and gently rotated it.The culprit who caused Hao Aiguo to go crazy and let everyone see hallucinations was cut off by him.

Everyone looked at the thing on the tip of the knife and took a breath.It was a small miniature corpse-scented konjac flower. The petals were as small as a toothpick, but the colors were distinct, red, green, and green. There was a small black spot in the middle of the stamen, which seemed to be in the shape of an eye if you looked closely, but you would feel dizzy if you looked at it for a long time.

Xiao Ran hurriedly took out the pocket in his clothes that contained the fragments of the Faqiu seal, and put the single seedling of the corpse-scented konjac into it, hoping that the fragments could calm down this little demon flower.

He felt that if this thing could survive, it might be useful in the future.

At this time, everyone also woke up from the slightly drowsy confusion. Looking at the tomb at this time, it is not as dark as before, as if shrouded in mist.

"It turns out that the root of the trouble is here! It seems that this demon flower understands strategy quite well, knowing that fortresses are breached from the inside..."

The fat man helped up Hao Aiguo who was under him while talking, but Hao Aiguo was panting under his pressure, and he was out of breath after a while.

"Patriotic, patriotic, do you still recognize me?"

At this moment, Professor Chen also walked over tremblingly, screaming at Hao Aiguo repeatedly.

Hao Aiguo raised his head, looked at the old man in front of him, his eyes were a little confused.Seeing this, the fat man quickly pulled Professor Chen back: "Be careful that he bites your nose."

"Chen...Professor Chen..."

A weak voice came from Hao Aiguo's mouth, and everyone let out a long breath like cheering, and quickly untied the rope on his body, and gave him water and alcohol.

"Everyone, take a quick look at yourself and see if you have the same thing."

Hearing what Xiao Ran said, everyone quickly checked each other, for fear that they, like Hao Aiguo, would become the "meat loam" of corpse-flavored konjac.Fortunately, after an inspection, only Hao Aiguo proved to be unlucky.

"Xiaoran...I misunderstood you, I thought...I didn't expect the corpse-flavored konjac to grow from a human body."

Seeing Professor Chen's ashamed expression, Xiao Ran waved his hands with a smile: "It's okay, as long as Mr. Hao is fine. Let's quickly see if there is any change in the painting on the box."

Ye Yixin and Chu Jian feel a little guilty because they misunderstood Shirley Yang just now.Hearing what Xiao Ran said, the two hurriedly threw Hao Aiguo to Sa Dipeng, and rushed to the side of the stone box.

"Ah! The painting is gone!" Ye Yixin cheered.

Everyone also went to the stone box, only to see that the engraved paintings on the outer big stone box were still the same, and they were still the paintings praising the great achievements of the prophets, and the pictures of someone opening the stone box at the end.

As for the stone box inside, there are only some simple patterns on the four corners and the periphery. The three paintings in the middle have disappeared, leaving only the flat cover sealed with cowhide paint.

"I really saw a ghost! I want to see what it can do. This time it's my turn!"

Before everyone could react, the fat man opened the stone box with a "snap" of his thick bear paw, and the shattered slag of cowhide paint splashed everywhere.

"Fatty, why do you owe it so much? What if you have something else to do?"

Hu Bayi swears and curses, but in fact he swears for others to hear.He stretched his neck himself, looking at the contents curiously.

An ancient sheepskin book was lying upright in it, and the professionalism of the archaeologists was displayed again at this time, and they carefully recorded it against the stone box.

Fatty and Hu Bayi seemed to be indifferent, but their hearts were already scratching like cats, and they wanted to take out this ancient book to see if it was worth it.

Xiao Ran felt helpless for a while, but now all he had to do was wait to escape from Shengtian with peace of mind, and let them handle other matters.He watched everyone scrambling to watch the stone box, and sat down quietly leaning against the corner of the wall, breathing evenly to suppress the wounds on his body that were repeatedly bursting.
