[Tomb Raiders Notes] The date has not been changed

Pokerfing's expression moved slightly. Obviously, such a sudden hack was a bit too surprising even for him, but he still quickly began to climb down without thinking much about it. We saw that he was so decisive, so he just followed.

All the way down, there are fewer and fewer snakes, so although it is strenuous, it is not as troublesome as imagined.

According to common sense, I just fell into the pit and got injured all over my body. It should be very uncomfortable, but in fact, the feeling is not very obvious, but there is a faint pain all over the body, probably because people have reached a limit, but more It is relying on one's own will to move, as long as the body does not collapse, then everything is about the same.

Soon, we went down to the bottom of the bronze tree. There were basically no snakes here, only some on the trunk, and they didn’t care about us at all. Stark contrast.

"It's here." The black glasses said.

He stopped, Poker Face stopped too, the two of them stood one level below us, and the three of us stood a little higher.

This place is already very close to the water surface. I took a flashlight to shine a light on it. There were many black snakes densely coiled on the water surface. When the black snakes felt the beam of light, they all raised their heads. I quickly turned off the flashlight for fear of disturbing them.

"This should be the old den of the snake." Black Glasses said, "The children and grandchildren are all here, and the ancestor of the snake should not be far away."

The snakes in this place are all soaked in the water, which is very different from the snake mines on the other side of the sand sea. In comparison, it is more like the living state of the pheasant necks in the swamp on the Tamtuo side.

I guess this should be an artificial breeding ground, because obviously, this place cannot become a complete ecosystem, and unlike the Sand Sea, each snake has a stone cave that can be used for dormancy.

There is very little information on this kind of black-haired snake, but because they have played a key role in my previous expeditions, I have studied it very carefully, and I know a little bit about this snake.

The origin of the black-haired snake is in the southwest of my country, that is, in this area of ​​Guangxi. The reproduction of this kind of snake in the wild requires the help of parasitism. In the natural state, they will parasitize in a kind of lungfish in the virgin forest. The lungfish can survive in the semi-arid environment of the swamp, and this snake happens to be well adapted to such an environment.

The environment here is humid. Although these snakes are climbing up from the water, there are so many snakes in the water, it can be seen that these snakes have actually adapted to the almost completely aquatic environment. Snakes have achieved a considerable degree of domestication.

However, in my reasoning, the giant snake belonged to the Zhang family. This is actually a bit contradictory. If the Wang family is so skilled in raising snakes, it is unreasonable for the Zhang family to take advantage of the loopholes. That is to say, My own speculation may be flawed.

At this time, Xiaohua also spoke: "Wu Xie, are you sure that big snake will listen to the Zhang family? Although it makes sense according to your analysis, it is not the only possibility."

"I can't guarantee it." I hesitated, "What I'm mainly concerned about now is that the Wang family's skills in raising snakes and gu are so high, how did the Zhang family instigate the big snake, as long as they can figure this out, Then I think my thinking is still okay.”

"Little Sanye, I don't know if you've heard of a person named Zhang Xiaoshe." Black Glasses said.

"Zhang Xiaoshe?" I froze for a moment, "Are you Bruce Lee's relative?"

Black Glasses shook his head: "This person is considered a member of the Zhang family, but he is an outsider absorbed by the Zhang family, not a member of the Zhang family. He was originally a member of the Shui tribe. He raised snakes since he was a child. People on the road call him 'Snake Ancestor'." ’, Later, he caught a lama once, and happened to be on the plate with our dumb Zhang, and was absorbed into the organization by the brother of dumb Zhang at that time, and we did some things together.”

Boyouping and his brother, and such a past, I don't know about these things, but I think that the black glasses told me this story, it must not be to popularize my little brother's love affairs, so maybe he wants to What I said was related to this little snake Zhang.

"You mean, this man tamed the snake?" I asked.

"No, this snake is far before Zhang Xiaoshe, at least several hundred years old." Black Glasses said, "But before Zhang Xiaoshe, the Zhang family had their own snake tamers. You I also know that the Zhang family used to be a very large family. The Zhang family responsible for taming snakes has been in southern Xinjiang all year round, and their tattoo is the Xinyue fox in the 28 constellations."

"Xinyue Fox?" I was stunned for a moment, this is one of the 28 constellations, and it can be regarded as a beast, but compared with Qilin and Qiongqi, it is not on the same level. Something rather ambiguous like that.

I didn't expect that a family like the Zhang family would have a group of people with heart and moon fox tattoos on their bodies. A group of little flowers in costumes.

"Because the snake itself is in charge of yin and yang, it is not surprising that Wenxinyuehu is not surprising. What's more, this branch is considered relatively low-level in the Zhang family." Black Glasses said, "This branch The population has always been sparse, and at its peak, there were only a dozen people. It was the first branch of the Zhang family to be wiped out. It was almost extinct during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The last record of the Zhang family about them is this group. The people all entered the territory of Guangxi Prefecture, and they never appeared on the family tree after that."

Guangxi Mansion, Xinyuehu.

I suddenly thought of the nine people I saw on the first floor. The tattoos on their bodies, I thought they were wolves. Could it be that they were actually Xinyue Fox?

"You mean, they entered this ancient building?" I asked.

"That's right." Black Glasses said, "Actually, according to my speculation, the Zhang family of this branch has been in the Wang family for a long time, but the time has not been ripe, so no real action has been taken, as you know, some People with the blood of the Zhang family have the poison of the Wang family in their bodies, which makes it more difficult for them to mix in the Wang family. By the Ming Dynasty, they probably had completed all the designs, and only the final burial objects were missing, so that All the Zhang family members came to Guangxi Mansion, entered this ancient building, completed the final process of snake control, and then willingly became part of the organization. The finished product we see now, although it seems that the Wang family is trying to control Zhang It exists as a family, but in fact, it has long been the result of mutual penetration between the Zhang family and the Wang family."

"In other words, this group of people designed such a unicorn pattern on the coffin to inform their future patriarchs that we have successfully completed the task, boss. Is that what it means?" I asked.

Black Glass nodded.

"Then as long as my brother sprinkles blood in this water, will the plug-in snake they arranged appear?" I said, "But the water surface is so big, and the little brother just sprinkled blood into it just now, and the snake just didn't appear." Just continue to kill us, if it really comes out to help us, the little brother will lose at least 400 to 500cc of blood, given his current physical condition, this is simply killing him."

Hearing my words, the black glasses suddenly smiled: "At this time, you will find that the world is full of unexpected surprises."

While talking, he pulled out his knife and swiped at his left hand, blood gushed out in a "shua".

The three of me, Fatty and Xiaohua all stared at the black glasses dumbfounded, while Pokerfoil was still standing beside him silently, as if he had known that he would do this for a long time.

The blood in the black glasses flowed into the pool, and quickly smeared away. Then, there was a soft sound under the water, and a faint ripple appeared on the surface of the water.
