Chapter 36: The Second Tomb

"In this way, the top climbers, especially the freehand climbers, are not necessarily physically inferior to me." Su Bai thought to himself, "No, they shouldn't be as good as me in terms of physical fitness, but their skills are far beyond what I am now." Laura should be the same. ”

Judging from Lara's performance at this stage of the game, as well as his personal experience now, Laura's current physical fitness has not been strengthened to the point of perversion. However, her skills have already reached the top professional level.

Shaking his head and throwing these complicated thoughts out of his mind, Su Bai turned around, poked his head out and shouted to Laura below, "Okay, you can come up." I'm going to throw the pickaxe down for you now, and you get out of the way a little bit. ”

Seeing Laura step aside, he threw down his pickaxe.

With the help of a pickaxe, Laura climbed up as well.

"Looks like you're a lot better at this kind of thing than I am." Seeing the girl's familiar appearance, Su Bai gave a thumbs up and said.

Laura smiled and said, "I just have more experience than you." ”

"Well, you'll have to teach me more." Su Bai said with a smile.

"Of course." Laura laughed too.

The two took turns using their pickaxes until they reached the wolf's den.

Under Laura's guidance, Su Bai's climbing skills have also improved significantly, at least much less effort than at the beginning.

Standing outside the wolf's den, looking at the wooden bridge on the right, Su Bai said, "Let's go over and see what's there." ”

"Okay." Laura nodded.

The two walked side by side towards the wooden bridge.

After crossing the wooden bridge, the cliff leads ahead, and there is no way to continue on.

At this time, the two found some strange and familiar white symbols on the rock wall.

"These symbols...... "Stretch his hand caressing the rock face, "we seem to have encountered them before." ”

"That's right, in the valley where I met Sanmantha." Su Bai said, "In the direction indicated by the white arrow, there should be a cave. We went through the cave to another valley and found a treasure chest inside. ”

"There are directional arrows here too."

Laura looked at the white arrow in the symbol, and sure enough, she found a cave by the waterfall below. Above the cave is a pictogram of the sun, with faint orange fires flickering inside.

"Su ......" The girl glanced back at Su Bai, as if she was letting him make up her mind.

"Let's go in and have a look." Su Bai naturally wouldn't say anything like leaving directly.

It's not clear what's in the tomb, but it doesn't hurt to go in and take a look. There won't be danger inside anyway.

Laura didn't object, and the two of them walked towards the cave.

When you enter the cave, you will see two white skeletons on the ground on the right. Inside the cave there are simple "gates" made of three logs, and a lantern is fished on the top pole to illuminate the cave.

The two of them stepped on the muddy ground and walked inside.

"That's weird...... The lanterns are still burning. On the way, Laura muttered with a strange look on her face.

"Maybe it's just to make it easier for us to get in." Su Bai said in a joking tone.

After walking along the muddy road for a while, a rock wall more than three meters high appeared in front of me.

The two climbed up the rock wall, only to see that the road inside was no longer illuminated by lanterns, and it was pitch black.

However, on the left side of the rock wall hangs a burning brazier, and a torch is stuck next to it.

There was a wooden pillar on the ground with a skeleton tied to it.

Su Bai's eyes swept over the skeleton and ignored it, reaching out to take the torch and walking towards it first: "Let's keep walking, Laura." ”

After walking a little further, the two entered a large culvert.

Sharp stalactites hang from the top of the culvert, dripping water into the ground with a crisp sound. There are also a lot of stalactites growing on the ground.

Su Bai looked around with a torch. The light of the fire flickered, and I saw that on the edge of the rock wall on the right, there were two wooden pillars stuck in the ground, and a skeleton was tied to them. There were also some bones piled up on the ground.

"Oh...... What's going on? Laura let out a low exclamation.

"Who knows, maybe it's some kind of sacrificial ritual, or some tribe's way of dissecting sinners." Su Bai casually guessed, "Anyway, no matter what I see on this island, I won't be surprised now." ”

Walking all the way, through a thin curtain of water, a large cave appeared in front of the two of them.

Four huge gilded statues of women stand against the rock wall.

"These gilded portraits...... Seems to be a servant of the Queen of the Sun? Laura's eyes widened as she looked at the gilded figures, speculating on their identities, "Could it be the priestess of the sun mentioned in the previous envoy's account?" ”

"Maybe. If we can find a way to go up there, we might be able to get some answers. Su Bai pointed to the fire-lit cave on the high rock wall on the left and said, "Go down below first and see if you can climb up the rock wall." ”

The two climbed from the stone platform to the bottom, and then walked to the rock wall.

Su Bai held the pickaxe and said to Laura, "I'll try it first." ”

Laura nodded: "Be careful." ”

Su Bai smiled, and then stepped forward and began to try to climb up.

I tried it with a pickaxe first, but the rock wall was too hard for the pickaxe to do anything. Fortunately, the surface of the rock wall is uneven, which gives him a place to borrow.

After climbing six or seven meters, the rock wall above became smooth.

Su Bai held the pickaxe and chiseled fiercely towards the rock wall.

Clang!

There was a roar of gold and iron, and the pickaxe was directly chiseled into the rock wall by him.

After pulling down hard to make sure that the mountaineering pickaxe was stuck, Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief and continued to climb up.

This section of the road is more strenuous because the smooth rock walls make it difficult for him to find any other point of borrowing except for a pickaxe.

Fortunately, the rock wall is not as hard as the bottom, and the pickaxe can break through. Otherwise, there is really no way to climb up.

Climbing to the top of the rock wall, Su Bai took a breath, turned to Laura below and shouted, "Laura, you can climb up here." ”

After saying that, he threw down the pickaxe and reminded loudly: "You must be careful." ”

"Got it!"

Laura replied loudly and began to climb as well.

Seeing Laura climb up smoothly all the way, Su Bai was relieved.

After reaching out and pulling her up, Su Bai asked with concern, "How do you feel?" Need a break? ”

"I'm fine."

After climbing such a high rock wall, the girl only gasped slightly. This made Su Bai sigh, worthy of Laura, this physical strength is completely unreasonable. Of course, now he's the same.

"Let's go in, Sue." Laura's voice brought Su Bai back to his senses.

"Let's go."

Nodding, the two turned and walked inside.

The sides leading to the inside were filled with burning red candles and skulls, and on the ground were piles of dry bones. On the white-painted rock wall, a pictogram of the sun is painted in red paint, and strange symbols are written around it.

"It was probably built in honor of her priestess, it's incredible."

Laura looked around, an exclamation in her mouth.
