Tomb Raider: I Can Hear Antiques Talk

Chapter 99 Zagramar Sacrifice
Hearing this burst of sound suddenly, Xiao Ran's scalp went numb.He raised the flashlight, and saw a balloon-like ball filled with water hanging on the gray and black roof, constantly twisting and turning.

The ball seemed to appear out of nowhere, slowly growing in size as it twisted. At first glance, it looked a bit like an eyeball protruding from its socket, hanging precariously on the roof.

It is the big follicle filled with black snake Jingjian Ahan!

Xiao Ran suddenly understood, at least in this temple, to make Jingjian Ahan appear, it is not just to rely on the jade pendant to activate the mechanism to take down the jade eye, but to have the Zagrama tribe who are the slaves of Queen Jingjue appear and touch him. Touching the jade eye can summon the patron saint of Jingjue Kingdom to come out to enjoy the sacrifice.

And Shirley Yang, a descendant of the Taoist who moved mountains, is the descendant of the Zagrama bloodline.

What a vicious queen, I don't know how 2000 years ago, she drove the Zagrama people to activate the mechanism in this hall, and sacrificed her own life and body to see Ah Han.

Xiao Ran didn't have time to greet everyone, so he rushed directly under the eyeball-like follicle, trying to draw a big circle on the ground with Wushi Powdered Medicinal Wine.

When Hu Bayi and the others saw Xiao Ran rushing out suddenly, and saw him keep looking at the roof, and also lit up the flashlight to shine upwards, they couldn't help exclaiming: "That's... an eyeball?!"

At this time, the follicle was already as big as a washbasin, and the transparent egg skin was illuminated by the flashlight, and the little snakes inside were wriggling like dancing lights.The follicles are hanging on the roof and twisting continuously, turning in circles like a windmill.

"Why is this thing so similar to this jade eye... Xiao Ran! Get out of the way!"

Hu Bayi yelled loudly, and rushed towards Xiao Ran, and threw him to the side with a swoop.

At this time, Xiao Ran's medicine and wine circle also just finished drawing, and was thrown to the ground by Hu Bayi.There was a muffled sound behind him, and the huge eyeball-shaped follicle had landed on the ground, just in the circle drawn by Xiao Ran.

In the shattered film, newborn black snakes with circular bulges on the back of their heads twisted and squirmed in the mucus.

If Hu Bayi hadn't pushed Xiao Ran out in time, Xiao Ran would be bathed in snakes mixed with mucus.

"Come and help!"

While these little snakes were still entangled with each other, Hu Bayi and Xiao Ran swung their shovels and slapped wildly, killing more than half of hundreds of little snakes in an instant.

The rest of the snakes had gradually broken free, spitting out black and red letters and swimming towards the two of them.

Xiao Ran hurriedly pulled Hu Bayi and jumped out of the medicinal wine circle. These newborn snakes were not bright enough, and they were not as strong as their adult counterparts. They could fly several meters with a slight leap.They just climbed to the wine ring, and were smoked back by the smell of realgar.

Even so, a few little snakes tried to jump out, but their physical strength was not yet complete, so they fell into the wine and rolled in pain.

Looking at this posture, it will only take a blink of an eye to jump out of the circle if you go on like this.Hu Bayi didn't have time to think about it, so he picked up his gun and shot at the snakes on the ground.

But after all, the snake was too small and wriggled non-stop, so the hit-to-kill rate was less than half.

At this time, other people also rushed over, Xiao Ran hurriedly shouted: "Use fuel! Burn them!"

Chu Jian took out the solid fuel and fell far away among the snakes. The bullets smashed sparks on the ground, instantly igniting the little snakes that hadn't had time to show their fangs.

The guardian of the temple danced in the flames and turned into charcoal.

Only then did Xiao Ran let out a long breath, and finally he was safe and sound.He picked up the flagon from the ground and shook it, but it was empty.Hu Bayi threw him just now, and before he had time to cover the jug, he was knocked to the ground, and all the wine was spilled.

It's a pity, but fortunately, the snakes in the temple have been cleaned up.

"Shangxiang!"

That gloomy voice sounded again, Xiao Ran was startled, and once again raised his flashlight to shine on the roof.

The temple was already brightly illuminated by the fire, and beside the hanging follicle just now, there were two more eyeball-shaped follicles twisting and slowly growing up.

Xiao Ran hurriedly looked at Shirley Yang, it turned out that when everyone was busy hunting snakes just now, she had been holding that jade eye as big as a head.

"Throw away Yuyan!" Xiao Ran shouted.

"threw?"

Shirley Yang thought she had heard it wrong, so she confirmed it again.Xiao Ran didn't have time to explain, so he could only yell to Professor Chen: "Professor Chen, you have jade eyes!"

Although he didn't know why Xiao Ran said that suddenly, Shirley Yang still handed the jade eyes to Professor Chen.

At this moment, another follicle the size of a washbasin landed directly in front of Shirley Yang and Professor Chen.Professor Chen was frightened by this sudden shock, his hands trembled, and his jade eyes fell to the ground and broke into several petals.

Professor Chen was heartbroken and wanted to bend down to pick up the jade eye fragments, but was pulled aside by Shirley Yang.Everyone hurried over and poured fuel on the fire before the follicles burst open.

The follicle twisted twice like a moving fireball, and then quickly burst open.The entangled little snakes rolled in the fuel pile, and were instantly burned into a large ball of black charcoal.

Everyone did the same thing, and took advantage of the moment when the other two follicles fell, put on fuel and ignite the fire.Seeing that the little snake was burnt in all directions, black smoke also rose from the hall, drifting towards the passageway when it came.

If the fire continued like this, even if they were not poisoned, they would suffer from lack of oxygen. Everyone had to use shovels to slap the fire balls until the flames were extinguished and the scorched snakes became silent.

Professor Chen hurriedly lay down on the ground, not caring about the scorching snakes next to him, and picked up the jade eye fragments on the ground with distress.

Fortunately, he was wearing gloves and a gas mask, so he didn't have to worry about being poisoned, but the pain of Yuyan's broken heart couldn't be relieved.

Xiao Ran raised his flashlight and looked carefully at the roof, there were no more eyeball-shaped snake eggs.I just didn't expect that I missed it just now, and there was a follicle hanging on the roof beside Shirley Yang and Professor Chen.

"Professor Chen, don't pick it up, you won't be able to put it together anymore..." Hu Bayi helped Professor Chen up while talking.

Xiao Ran walked over silently, followed the voice to find the jade pendant, he was still chattering intermittently, but the coldness and madness just now were gone.

It seems that the artifact is really perverted, and it looks like the main character, which can be seen in the face of the exquisite queen.

"Stop nagging, keep nagging, I promise to make you worse than that broken eyeball." Xiao Ran threatened.

Although this jade pendant was crazy, it was really not stupid. After hearing what Xiao Ran said, he really shut up.

The fat man walked over cheerfully, took the jade pendant from Xiao Ran, and said, "Thank you, brother Xiao, you brought me back the family heirloom. It's a pity that such a big jade eye is worth so much... ..."

Xiao Ran walked up to Professor Chen, and said to Professor Chen who was still sighing: "I guess this thing is a sacrificial vessel, once it is triggered in a certain way, it will summon those black snakes, the patron saints of Jingjue Ancient City , enjoy the sacrifice."

Shirley Yang asked: "You mean, as long as you put the jade pendant on it and pick up the jade eye, it will trigger the summon you said?"

Xiao Ran just wanted to say that it might be because Shirley Yang is from Zagrama, so she caused this situation.But looking at the people next to him, he decided not to make this inference out.

He didn't want everyone to think that Shirley Yang might be a disaster star, especially he didn't want Fatty to think so.Besides, time is running out now, letting them know their inferences is just a waste of time to do some lip research, it's better not to make extra troubles.

So he walked to the stone pillar and replied: "I don't know the details, but let's find a way to go deeper first, this is the top priority."
