Tomb Raider: I Can Hear Antiques Talk

Chapter 186
A toad is a toad after all, no matter how big it is, its brain content still belongs to lower animals.Except for the giant toad that snatched the can, the other giant toads that were splashed with minced fish broth all looked at each other curiously, wondering why the same kind that had been together for so long suddenly smelled delicious.

Not only these giant toads that were splashed, even a few giant toads outcropping in the lake also jumped out of the water, and jumped to the side of the same kind that were splashed.And the seven or eight giant toads that were originally blocking the stone gate also slowly turned to those of the same kind that smelled of herring.

A giant toad blinked a few times, and tentatively flicked out its tongue at the same kind with herring soup on its body, and the long barbed tongue hung on the wet and sticky skin of the other party in an instant.

Immediately after it flicked back, the giant toad that he licked, a large piece of skin with blood and fish soup was torn off.It rolled the herring-smelling skin into its mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it.

The giant toad whose skin and flesh were torn off by it was furious instantly, and after a few crows, it opened its mouth full of fangs and jumped towards it.But another giant toad next to him jumped between the two at this time, and the giant toad whose skin was torn off bit the innocent person who suddenly appeared.

For a moment, the giant toad that was lured by the scent, the giant toad that was bitten by the same kind, and those latecomers who came to smell the smell bit each other, and a toad was instantly mixed in the warm and humid air. The stench of blood.

The few giant toads that had blocked the three of them and Shimen were far away, but now they thought that their companions in the distance were having a meal, so they jumped over one after another, joining the melee of stabbing tongues and sharp teeth.

Due to the closeness to each other, many later giant toads were also smelled of canned herring. Appetite and anger stimulated the original bloodthirsty and madness of these giant toads.

"Hurry up! We're still watching a show!"

Taking advantage of these giant toads attacking each other frantically, Xiao Ran hurried towards Shimen.But he ran a few steps, only to find that Xu Er and Liu Shengli were still in place, attracted by the melee of these prehistoric behemoths, which were a circle bigger than a calf.

Hearing his shout, Liu Shengli and Xu Er came to their senses, and quickly followed him into the stone arch.Now they finally know why the door is so short and narrow.

Listening to the sound of giant toads fighting behind them, Xiao Ran, Liu Shengli, and Xu Er rejoiced that they survived the catastrophe, and were even more rejoiced that there was a life-saving artifact such as canned herring in their bags.

But having said that, if it weren't for this thing, it might not be possible to recruit these prehistoric monsters. It's a success or a failure...

Not long after, the three of them walked to the iron gate again.Seeing the darkness outside, Liu Shengli swallowed, and said in a trembling voice: "Jing, manager, there is a ghost outside..."

"There's a fart! I guess it's some kind of strange animal. This place has been abandoned for too long, and it's hard to guarantee that there will be some poisonous insects and beasts. Compared with ghosts that seduce souls, you'd better be careful not to almost become fodder like just now. .”

Hearing what Xiao Ran said, Liu Shengli's fear eased a bit, and he boldly said: "Only...just...as long as I can see and feel it, I will...not be afraid!"

"But pull it down, you hang up your mental head!"

Xiao Ran bickered with him, but he also murmured a little bit about the thing blowing the lamp.After all, Xu Er also said that he saw a black shadow, and Xiao Ran also heard the sound of blowing out the lamp before he entered the door.

Just as he was thinking, the flashlight swept across the iron door, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of a group of long black hair shrunk up from the door, and at the same time, there was a sound of "swishling" quickly moving away along the wall.

Xiao Ran was startled, rubbed his eyes and looked carefully at the door, he was worried that he was too nervous just now, which made him have some kind of visual deviation.But at this time, a burst of broken soil also fell from the top outside the door and fell on the edge of the iron door.

Xu Er and Liu Shengli in the back supported the stone walls on both sides, avoiding the slippery rocks under their feet, and did not notice the situation at the iron gate.Xiao Ran pulled out his knife and walked to the door in two or three steps, then bent down and rolled out of the iron door, for fear that something outside the door would give him a "headshot".

He rolled over and turned back. The movement was done in one go, which made the two people behind him also nervous, and they dared not go out for a while with the shovel sideways.Xiao Ran took a careful look around the top of the door and the left and right walls with a flashlight, but he didn't find any ghost or animal traces, so he had to relax first and call the two of them out.

Liu Shengli and Xu Er poked their heads out cautiously, and took a careful look with the torches, and they breathed a sigh of relief after confirming their safety.

"Xiao Gang, let's...shall we go to the platform in the middle?"

Xiao Ran watched Xu Er keep looking at the big box with his eyes, and knew that this thing would not be able to get around after all, so he could only comfort Xu Er and said: "Let's find a way first, make sure the way out, and then look at what's inside, this is not good. in a hurry."

The three of them walked along the side again, and stepped over to a door next to them.This time, everyone tacitly agreed and did not light the oil lamps on the left and right sides.The door was not concealed, but it protruded outwards. There was a big bump on the door, and the rusty lock teeth were already deformed.

Xiao Ran took a photo of the gap caused by the deformation with a flashlight, and it was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Manager, there won't be any prehistoric toads here, right?" Liu Shengli asked.

Xiao Ran put away the flashlight and said: "Where are there so many prehistoric feces, pry them open and have a look!"

Xiao Ran directed Liu Shengli and Xu Er to insert a shovel into the crack of the door to pry the door, while he stood on the other side of the door, hooked the crack of the door with the flying tiger's claws, stretched the rope and pulled it hard.

"Three, two, one, pull!"

The three of them chanted repeatedly, pulling the rusty iron door creaking non-stop, and the copper rust and the gravel and dirt on the door clattered down.Even though it was the winter moon season, and they were deep underground, the three of them were so tired that they were sweating profusely.

With a bang, one of the three locks on the iron door broke open, and a broken piece of copper fell down with a tinkling clang.Seeing that this trick was effective, the three of them pried on the iron door even harder.

The broken lock of the rusty iron door couldn't withstand the repeated prying and pulling of the three people, and finally bounced open with a "bang" and hit the wall.

Xiao Ran couldn't resist sitting down on the ground, and rolled backwards passively.When he got up, there was a loud noise from the door, and then large stones rolled out of the door and hit the wooden pillar in front of the door.

After being repeatedly hit by rolling stones, the log pillar finally lost its balance and wobbled to the ground.

Xiao Ran's eyes widened, and he quickly waved his hands to Liu Shengli and Xu Er who were on the opposite side and shouted: "Quickly jump to the opposite side!"

Liu Shengli stretched out his hand towards Xiao Ran, and before he could say anything, he was dragged by Xu Er and ran behind him, jumping onto the fan-shaped stone platform where he came.

The huge log pillar crashed down and hit the suspended stone platform.The Shitaizi couldn't bear the impact of such a heavy weight, and instantly shattered and collapsed. Under the watchful eyes of Liu Shengli and Xu Er, Xiao Ran fell down with the platform along with the flying dust.
