299. Tomb Raider 9: Fire Festival

【(( 1~

From the mouths of the embarrassed people who came to report, Nan Xiao kept hearing them say how powerful Laura was. You can't be killed, you throw Molotov cocktails and you will be thrown back, and even some people use rifles against orders, and they are still beaten to the ground.

"We didn't expect her to raid there at all," said the person who came to report it, "and the woman was like crazy, and she was seen jumping out of a crashed Mi Army plane with an extra parachute." She floated to our place with the broken parachute of decades ago, and the brethren didn't expect it at all......"

"Don't worry," Nan Xiao said steadily, "Her goal is to save her companions." As long as the woman named Sanmantha is in our hands, she will come to save people desperately. Let's go to the ceremonial ground of the ancient palace near the base of the mountain, and pretend to hold a fire ritual to scare her," he thought for a moment, and then commanded, "The captive named Sanmantha is secretly hiding a walkie-talkie. You pretend to talk and tell her about the fire festival. ”

Sure enough, knowing that Sanmantha was about to be "executed by fire", Laura was really anxious. She got an AK out of nowhere, slaughtered the entire base, and fought all the way to the ancient palace.

Rose joins up with the others and gets a sniper rifle to provide her with sniper cover from the mountainside. The old captain is worthy of being a soldier, and his guns kill him, and he has no bullets. The Sun Brotherhood bandits outside the ancient palace were shot in the head. Laura took the opportunity to storm the palace.

After receiving Mao Yuyu's secret report, Nan Xiao judged that it was time to pretend to be forced. As soon as he waved his hand, the people next to him immediately tied Sanmantha to the stone pillar, which was filled with firewood, and began to prepare the torches again.

Laura infiltrates the ritual arena and lurks in the shadows of the corner.

At this time, Nan Xiao was giving a speech: "Brothers, listen to me! In the outside world, we are just nobodies. But here we are believers in the great Brotherhood of the Sun, the Queen of the Sun! There's a reason why she's bringing us here. I know you all want to be free, I know you all want to get out of this place. If we want to be free, we must release our great queen. The Queen, who was, is, and always became, had some difficulties. Her soul was trapped in a dead body. As long as we rescue her from the predicament, then it is equivalent to freeing ourselves! ”

He pointed to Sanmantha, the poor girl tied straight to the stone pillar, like a salted fish: "This girl, she has half the blood of the Yamato nation, she may be the key." Just look at the flame of the ritual and you'll know the truth! Himiko, the Queen of the Sun, who was, is, and always beyond, please lower your judgment! ”

Among the people listening to the speech below, someone whispered: "I guess this time is the same as before." A woman was burned to death, and then everyone should do what. ”

"Shut up," said the other, "I've wanted to get out of this place for a long time." Since the boss said that this was the only way, then we had to try. ”

Laura, full of hatred, drew her bow to "Matthias".

Sou! An arrow flew away, hitting the back of Matthias's neck socket.

This arrow Laura shot accurately. The posterior cervical fossa is a major part of the human body, with a thin layer of muscle surrounding the cervical spine and skull. As long as it is shot in, the spinal cord and cerebellum are shattered, and they can't die anymore.

However, the arrow missed. Laura watched in horror as the arrow burst into the nape of Matthias's neck socket and was bounced off. "Impossible!" She exclaimed, "You're unexpectedly"

Nan Xiao turned around and pointed at Laura: "Catch her!" ”

A crowd lunged at Laura. The first few were knocked down by bullets, but the people behind rushed in. When Laura was hugged by a desperate Tie Hanhan, the scene was uncontrollable.

"You killed our brother," a strong man raised his fist, "I'm going to kill you!" ”

"Stop!" Nan Xiao shouted, "Nikolai, don't hurt her!" Bring her to the altar! ”

Everyone didn't dare to disobey Nan Xiao's order, twisted Laura's arm, and dragged her to the altar.

Nan Xiao looked down at Laura and found that she had indeed not been beaten much, and she was very satisfied. "Any creature that threatens its life will instinctively fight back. You're just that, little girl. ”

"How can you do such a cruel and barbaric thing!" Laura glared angrily at "Matthias".

Nan Xiao laughed: "Don't want to watch your companions being burned alive? So, would you like to take her place? If you're the Sun Queen's preference, she'll use a gust of wind to extinguish the flames. That way, neither you nor your companions have to die. ”

Sanmantha cried: "Laura, don't believe him! ”

Laura gritted her teeth: "Okay, I'll take her place." ”

"Very good," Nan Xiao ordered, "change this little girl on!" ”

The crowd untied Sanmantha and tied Laura to her.

"Get ready, brothers," Nan Xiao held up her torch, "our queen is about to make a decision!" She will communicate with us through the flames and tell us if the woman in front of us is her choice! ”

He threw the torch on the pyre. A raging fire immediately ignited at Laura's feet.

Sanmantha cried, "No, no, no, Laura! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... Look at me...... Look at me, okay? ”

At this moment, a sudden gust of wind swept in, enveloping the flowing water of the waterfall behind the stone pillar, extinguishing the flames.

Nan Xiao raised his hand high: "Everyone has seen it!" She's the one we're looking for! Brethren, we will soon be free! We will be reborn! He pointed to Laura, "Take her to the sacrificial temple, to the Sun Chamber where the Queen will be crowned." ”

The people of the Brotherhood of the Sun cheered.

Someone asked what to do with Sanmantha. Laura shouted excitedly, "Let her go!" Let her go! Otherwise, I will never agree to participate in any of your ceremonies! ”

Nan Xiaoyi waved his hand: "Let her go, drive her to the beach where the boat was shipwrecked, and let her fend for herself." Seeing someone below rolling his eyes with malicious intent, he sternly accentuated his tone, "It is absolutely forbidden to hurt this girl, she must be allowed to leave safely!" The Queen's succession ceremony is the most important thing, and everything has to make way for this matter. All the brethren were waiting to leave the island. If anyone dares to ruin everyone's business, I must peel off his skin little by little, and then hang it on the beach to dry! ”

The crowd was in awe and didn't dare to make any more moves against Sanmantha.

The temple's solar chamber, at the top of the island's highest peak, is heavily guarded by the undead Storm Guardian legion.

A wooden bridge spans the canyon. Two skeleton warriors stood guard at the head of the bridge, and they didn't know how many years.

Seeing Nan Xiao walking over with a group of people, they immediately stood up vigilantly, their hands on the katana at their waists.

Nan Xiao raised his hands high: "My name is Matthias." I got permission from the Sun Queen to bring her a new successor. ”
