Chapter 20: The First Tomb
Su Bai and Laura climbed up the stone platform and found a hole on the side of the wooden bridge. The rock wall outside the entrance of the cave is painted with white symbols of unknown significance.
"Would you like to go in and have a look?"
Su Bai looked at Laura and asked.
Laura took a deep breath, and there was a look of determination in her brown eyes: "Let's go in." ”
"I'll clear the way."
Su Bai, who knew what kind of place this was, naturally would not object, and took the lead in walking towards the cave.
There was a look of emotion in Laura's eyes, and she didn't stop, clenching her bow and arrows and following closely.
After walking some distance, turning a corner, the cave tunnel suddenly became dark. Fortunately, there was a torch stuck in the rock wall ahead.
Su Bai stepped forward to take down the torch and continued to move forward with the light of the torch.
After walking a little further, a small cave appeared on the rock wall to the left of the tunnel, and inside was a statue of unknown significance.
"Laura, can you tell what these statues are?"
Su Bai shone it with a torch and turned back to ask Laura.
Laura walked up to the statues, examined them closely, and said suspiciously, "It's so strange, I don't seem to have seen these types of statues before......"
After she looked at it for a while, Su Bai said, "Since we can't see anything, let's continue walking." Anyway, there are a lot of things that people don't understand here, and it's not bad for this one. ”
Laura nodded, retracting her gaze.
The tunnel ahead was very low, and the two had to bend down and half-crouch and move forward with great difficulty.
After exiting the low tunnel, a curtain of water hung in front of me. And on the right, the same statue appears.
The two walked through the curtain of water, and the torches were extinguished. A pile of clutter stood in the way.
"Laura, shoot that lamp down with an arrow and set this pile on fire."
Su Bai pointed to a burning glass lamp hanging on the crossbar above the debris and said.
This is obviously the design of the game and doesn't actually get in the way of the player.
Laura didn't hesitate and pulled the bowstring to the oil lamp. As soon as the finger loosened, the arrow whistled out, instantly shooting the glass lamp out.
The sparks splashed down, instantly igniting the whole pile of debris.
Soon, the tunnel was open again, and the two continued on.
After walking some distance, an orange fire appeared in front of him.
When I looked closer, I saw skulls and burning red pillars of fire on the rocks, which had been flooded with water. An idol was erected on the edge of a rock wall, and in front of the idol hung a dry skeleton that had been tied up. The scene was very eerie.
But along the way, the psychological quality of the two has been exercised. This little scene can't make them have any psychological fluctuations at all.
"What is this place?"
Laura muttered to herself, confused.
"Just go in and see." Su Bai said.
It was already at the end of the tunnel, where a sloping, dilapidated door was erected. Inside it appears to be a valley, and when you look up, you can see the gloomy sky.
The two of them waded through waist-high water through the fangmen, found a small dirt bag that had not been submerged, and looked into the valley.
I saw that almost the entire valley was flooded with stagnant water and overgrown with trees. A crashed propeller plane lay horizontally in the middle of the valley, supported by broken trees and suspended in mid-air.
In addition, there are many buildings and statues of gods built on the side of the valley against the mountain. It looks like it's a temple complex, but it was abandoned because a plane crashed here.
"It's amazing......"
Laura looked at the valley and muttered.
"Let's search the valley first and see if we can find anything or clues."
Su Bai said, his heart full of anticipation.
In the game, this place called "Tomb of the Lost Adventurer" can find a secret treasure in a treasure chest, so what will the reality be?
So the two of them immediately began to act.
It took them half a day, and they finally got around the valley. It's a pity that apart from seeing a large number of idols, nothing useful was found.
The result was a disappointment for both men.
Su Bai guessed that if the valley hadn't been flooded, maybe some clues could still be found. But now, except for a few high platforms made of stones around it, the rest of the place is completely immersed in deep water, and nothing can be found at all.
Standing on a stone platform, Su Bai pointed to a brightly lit temple built on a high cliff opposite, and said, "There is still that place left, maybe we can find a way to go up and have a look." ”
"But it's too high, we don't have the right tools, we can't go up at all." Laura frowned.
"Remember the cliff we passed after we escaped from that cave a few days ago?" Su Bai showed a smile and pointed to the wreckage of the crashed plane in the valley, "We can use this plane to go up." ”
After some hard work, the two managed to climb onto the wreckage of the plane, and then cautiously followed the fuselage towards the temple built high on the cliff.
After climbing onto the tail of the plane, Su Bai took a deep breath, turned around and looked down at Laura who was standing below, and said, "I'll go up first, and then you come up again." ”
The girl nodded vigorously and said loudly, "You must be careful." ”
"Don't worry."
After responding confidently, Su Bai turned his head, looked at the eaves high in front of him, and took a deep breath.
All he had to do now was jump over and grab the edge of the eaves, and climb up to the small, brightly lit attic at the top of the temple.
The whole process is extremely dangerous, and if he fails to catch it without the slightest negligence, he will fall from this nearly ten meters high. Even if it is a strengthened body, it will definitely be seriously injured.
So, he must not make any mistakes.
Su Bai whispered self-hypnotism: "I can do it, now I am not what I used to be, this difficulty is just a piece of cake." ”
After taking a few more deep breaths, he stared intently at the eaves in front of him, his legs slightly flexed, and then leaped forward with all his might.
Laura, who was standing on the fuselage, instantly held her breath.
Her delicate face was full of nervousness, and her brown eyes stared unblinkingly at the figure leaping through the air.
Fortunately, there were no accidents.
When his body reached its peak and began to fall, Su Bai successfully grabbed the eaves with both hands, and his body hung in the air.
What made him even more relieved was that the building had been built for an unknown number of years, and there were no quality problems. The place where he was holding with both hands didn't collapse—something he feared most and couldn't control.
"Hoo ......"
After taking a long breath, Su Bai used his arms to climb up. Then he turned to look at Laura below, and said loudly, "Come up, Laura." ”
Seeing Su Bai arrive smoothly, Laura also breathed a sigh of relief.
Hearing his shout, the girl did not hesitate, climbed into the tail of the plane, and jumped up in the direction of Su Bai.
At the moment when she grabbed the eaves with both hands, Su Bai also reached out and grabbed the girl's left wrist.
"I've got you!"
Su Bai shouted and dragged the girl up hard.
The moment she stood up, Laura immediately threw herself into Su Bai's arms and hugged him tightly, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear.
Su Bai was stunned for a moment, and then hugged the girl's soft body, and said softly: "Okay, it's okay." All the best, isn't it? ”
