Tomb Raider: I Can Hear Antiques Talk

Chapter 89

Under the cold light, the valley surrounded by pitch-black rocks on both sides was covered with thick yellow sand. There were no sand scorpions and sand wolves that camels were afraid of, not even a Haloxylon grass.

Shirley Yang asked curiously, "What is it that scares the camels like this?"

Xiao Ran clenched the kettle tightly and said, "It's probably still ahead..."

Everyone got off the camels first, and walked forward for more than ten steps. Hu Bayi lit the second cold smoke and threw it out.Under the cold smoke and fire, I saw a man in a white robe and a sand-proof turban sitting there with his back against a stone, and a large rucksack behind him.

Everyone exclaimed for a while, they didn't expect to meet other people in this valley.

Hu Bayi quickly raised his gun: "Who is it! Don't move!"

Xiao Ran stretched out his hand to press Hu Bayi's muzzle: "I guess he can't move anymore, let's go and have a look."

The two headed over, and saw that the man was wrapped up tightly, only his eyes were staring at the sky, and his eyes were full of fear and unwillingness.

Locking Soul Ding Lingzhu said: "This is the soul, there are more ahead. They died in the mouth of the black demon..."

Sure enough, it was a few of them. If these tomb robbers hadn't died in time, they wouldn't have discovered the Zagrama Valley today.

Hu Bayi inspected the dead body, and said in amazement: "The appearance of this man's death is a bit strange, his skin is blue-purple."

Others gathered around at this time, Xiao Ran quickly told everyone: "Don't touch the corpse, it may be poisonous!"

Sa Dipeng, who was still in a happy mood, suddenly shouted: "More than one! Here's another one! There's another one! There are so many!"

People who don't know heard it, they didn't think he was talking about the corpse, and thought he had picked up the money.

Xiao Ran was a little nervous, he knew what was the cause of this, but those devil-like black snakes—Jingjian Ah Han, he couldn't be sure when they would suddenly attack.

Hu Bayi and Fatty threw a few more cold fireworks, illuminating the large open space brightly.In front of them, there were a total of six corpses lying upside down.

These corpses were all dressed in the same attire, and each corpse had eyes widened in horror.Beside them, there were several AK47 rifles and their backpacks.

The fat man excitedly picked up an AK47 to check it out, and said to Hu Bayi: "Old Hu, the hard goods made in the Soviet Union are much easier to use than our air rifles!"

Hu Bayi frowned, opened one of the backpacks that fell on the ground, and took out some packages with square edges and corners that looked like a large piece of butter, with Russian words written all over them.

"It seems that these people are the tomb robbers who blasted the stone tomb before. These Soviet-made arms should have flowed in from the border." Shirley Yang said.

Hu Ba nodded slightly: "It's not surprising to infer this, but I'm very puzzled, these people's equipment can reach a sharp knife class, how did they die here? And they died so badly..."

Xiao Ran glanced at the backpack, besides the explosives, there were also compressed biscuits and some medicines, all of which were needed.

Fatty was very proud. He picked up the AK47 and the backpack on the ground one by one, and put the gun in the hands of others.

Chu Jian looked tall, but he was very resistant to these firearms. He waved his hands and refused to take them. The fat man frowned and said, "Take it, just treat it as a spare weapon for me..."

Someone has taken care of the collection of supplies, and now Xiao Ran has more important things to do.He carefully held the jug, poured out a glass, and poured it on the corpse.

Seeing that there was no movement in the corpse, he wiped the medicinal wine on his hands again, pushed the corpse down, and then took a few steps back with the knife in front of his chest.

No black snake emerged from the corpse, so he relievedly untied the backpack and ammunition from the corpse and threw them to the fat man.

Xiao Ran followed the same pattern and checked the other five corpses in succession. Apart from collecting some supplies, he did not find any trace of the Black Snake Jingjian Ah Han.

This is strange, these people were clearly killed by snake venom, there should be at least one or two snakes hidden on the corpses.

Not being able to see a snake is not necessarily a good thing, knowing that the danger is nearby, but being unable to catch it, li xuan felt even more uneasy.

Seeing him wiping and sprinkling with a jug, Hu Bayi was very curious. He came up and smelled it, and asked, "What kind of smell is this? What are you doing?"

Xiao Ran saw that other people also heard the sound and looked over, and explained: "These dead bodies are probably poisoned to death, I will do some disinfection first..."

Everyone understood his intentions, so they didn't ask any more questions, but sorted out the supplies separately.Now except for Professor Chen, Hao Aiguo and An Liman, the other male team members already have an AK47, which greatly improves the safety of the team.

The camels not far away still refused to move forward. Shirley Yang was puzzled: "Camels will not be frightened by corpses. They refuse to move forward. There must be other things that make them feel dangerous."

Xiao Ran really had no choice but to see Hao Aiguo frowned and sighed at the corpse, so he went over to persuade him: "Mr. Hao, look at the clothes and things carried by these corpses, they must be the grave robbers who blew up the stone tombs before. You There is no need to be so sorry..."

Hao Aiguo looked at Xiao Ran, his eyes full of doubts: "I don't feel sorry for them, look at the equipment they brought, if they encounter us when they are alive, maybe the corpses in the desert are ours now. I just feel sorry for those who have been destroyed. Cultural relics, and stolen corpses sigh..."

Hearing what he said, Xiao Ran was not overly surprised, after all, he already knew that many things had changed.But Hao Aiguo's words reminded him, if these are the tomb robbers, why do they only have their own equipment and supplies around them?
Where did the funerary objects they stole from the tomb, especially the human-sized mummy, go?
Just as he was thinking about this doubtful point, he saw Professor Chen, holding his glasses and hunched over, walking towards a slightly raised sand pile.Beside the sand pile, there seems to be a corner of rags, which is gently swaying in the breeze passing through the valley.

Professor Chen carefully pushed away the sand around the rag, exposing a dry and black hand to the light of the flashlight.

"Patriotic! Chu Jian! Come on, they hid the mummy here!"

Professor Chen shouted excitedly, and other members of the archaeological team rushed to him to help him clean up the sand.After a while, a mummy with gray face and long beard appeared in everyone's eyes.

"This must be one of the mummies in the stone tomb that was buried together! There are..."

Professor Chen walked tremblingly to a pile of sand next to him, and dug it up vigorously, revealing some fragments of clothes.

He only wanted to save these buried corpses, his eyes were full of surprise and excitement, but he didn't find that there was something slightly bulging in the abdomen of the mummy, and the sand slowly flowed along the center of the bulge to the sides.

Xiao Ran yelled in his heart that it was not good, and ran to the professor's side in three steps at a time. Before he could think about it, he picked up the jug and threw it at the bulge.

At the same time, a thin black shadow also popped out from the bulge, and rushed towards Professor Chen's neck.
