The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

He turned his head and glanced at Wu Xie, then at the mural Wu Xie was pointing to.

I don't know what she's thinking; it seems like I can't understand her.

The fat man waved his hands anxiously, signaling Wu Xie to leave quickly. Wu Xie also pulled the fat man back, indicating that he should give him a little time.

I'll do some research myself.

Wu Xie looked closely and saw that the forehead of the human-face relief was carved with the snake-browed bronze fish.

· ·········Request flowers· ···

The bronze fish with snake-like eyebrows interlocks head to tail, forming a closed loop.

Looking at the appearance of the snake-browed bronze fish, Wu Xie knew that two of them were in his backpack.

Wu Xie then carefully examined the features of the human face relief.

This face relief seems to be different from the other face reliefs; it appears to depict a woman.

Wu Xie racked his brains but felt something was amiss, yet he couldn't figure it out for the time being.

At this moment, A Ning behind Wu Xie urged him to move forward quickly, and Wu Xie had no choice but to give up observing.

Fortunately, you can see human face reliefs every now and then as you walk further into the tomb passage.

Wu Xie was swimming and observing at the same time.

Wu Xie examined each of the facial reliefs with a second glance, but he didn't discover any information.

...... . ...

There was just a slight difference in my feelings.

Wu Xie kept track of the numbers in his mind as he swam.

Suddenly Wu Xie realized something: if he started counting from the first one...

This is the fifth face relief; the first face relief had its eyes completely closed.

Then the eyes in the relief began to open gradually, until the fifth eye was fully open.

It was as if it were glaring at the people who had entered the tomb passage.

Wu Xie also had a bad feeling.

However, Fang Yun was some distance away from Wu Xie, so Wu Xie had to hold onto Fatty first and take out an underwater drawing board from his backpack.

"From my observation just now, the faces on the walls of this tomb passage are gradually opening their eyes. They are now fully open. I feel there must be something fishy going on here."

Wu Xie wrote.

The fat man touched the face and wrote, "I haven't paid much attention to what you've said, but I think this face relief is definitely a single piece. Stop being so suspicious and follow me forward!"

Wu Xie shook his head, his expression very firm. Fatty couldn't dissuade Wu Xie, so he could only listen to Wu Xie's instructions and pick up the air gun.

Continuing to lead the way, after a short while, Fatty and Wu Xie saw the same face relief sculpture again.

At this moment, the fat man began to feel a little panicked.

The fat man stopped, picked up his flashlight, and carefully shone it on the human face relief sculpture.

Chapter 265 Dead End! Disgusting Hair!

Under the flashlight, the human face relief did not change at all, so the fat man mustered up his courage and signaled Wu Xie to continue forward.

Wu Xie touched the human face relief with his hand, and then poked at the eyes of the human face relief with his finger.

Seeing that the face relief had not changed at all, Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief.

I was thinking that this was probably something the tomb's designer had put up to scare tomb raiders and make them feel intimidated.

The fat man patted Wu Xie on the shoulder, indicating that there wasn't much to do and he could just continue following him.

"If Uncle San wasn't lying, then his method of entering the ancient tomb must have been by touching some kind of mechanism. But all these human face reliefs seem to be exactly the same. What exactly do we need to touch to activate the switch and find the spring?"

Wu Xie muttered to himself.

Qq264235286

Wu Xie knew that continuing to swim around "613" was not a solution.

Although there may only be two or three passageways in the tomb.

However, if you keep going in circles here, you might get lost here forever.

Suddenly, the fat man stopped. Wu Xie was still thinking about the problem and didn't notice the fat man's sudden stop, so he crashed into him.

Fortunately, it happened in the water, so there was no serious injury.

Wu Xie thought something had happened ahead and immediately became alert, looking ahead.

Unexpectedly, there was only a huge stone slab in front of it, as if it had sealed off the tomb passage.

The fat man touched the stone slab with his hand and explored it for a long time, but he did not find any mechanism on the stone slab.

He could only shake his head helplessly.

"How could this be a dead end? Have we come to the wrong place?"

Aning wrote on the drawing board.

"That's not the case. It seems there are some mechanism stone slabs around here. Everyone, search around and you should be able to find some clues."

Wu Xie quickly wrote it down.

"Phew, I must say, the two moves that Boss Fang Yun taught us didn't seem very proper, but I didn't expect them to actually come in handy. Boss Fang Yun is truly a visionary, I really admire him."

Wu Xie admired Fang Yun from the bottom of his heart.

Everyone nodded in agreement, indicating that Wu Xie's words made sense.

So everyone started searching around, while the fat man tapped left and right, occasionally kicking the human face relief.

Although Wu Xie felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't say anything more.

The group searched carefully, even using their small daggers to cut through the crevices of the relief.

Even so, no mechanism was found.

The fat man kicked for a while, then stood there motionless as if he had hurt his foot.

"What's wrong, Fatty? Did you discover something unexpected?"

Wu Xie wrote.

The fat man looked at Wu Xie with a puzzled expression, then casually picked up the drawing board and wrote: "I have a question for you, do sea monkeys have hair?"

Wu Xie looked at the fat man with surprise.

Wu Xie recalled the scene of seeing the sea monkey that day, but he only vaguely remembered that the sea monkey's head and body were covered with scales.

There was no hair at all, and Wu Xie immediately felt uneasy.

"What's the point of asking this?"

Wu Xie quickly wrote it down.

The fat man pointed to the crack in the stone slab behind him. Wu Xie shone his flashlight over and saw a wisp of black hair peeking out from the crack.

This left Wu Xie speechless for a moment, but the fat man was quite bold.

I reached out and tried to pull the black hair, but to my surprise, the hair retracted instantly the moment my hand touched it.

The fat man, his hand trembling, wrote on the drawing board: "There's a ghost behind this!"

This is a wisp of hair that moves in the mysterious underwater tomb.

Anyone would immediately think that there must be ghosts causing trouble, but there was a stone slab in between.

Presumably, the hair couldn't have burst out instantly, so the fat man mustered his courage and approached the crack again.

Shining a flashlight into the crack, the fat man seemed to be startled.

Suddenly, it swam backward, taking several steps back.

Only then did he wave his fist at Wu Xie and the others.

Wu Xie immediately recognized this as the previously agreed-upon code signal indicating danger.

Although this fat guy is a bit unreliable, he's not one to joke around with people.

Wu Xie and the others quickly took a few steps back.

Suddenly, something like ink gushed out from the stone slab. Wu Xie looked closely...

This isn't ink at all; it's clearly clumps of hair!

The more flustered you are underwater, the more energy you will expend, and the greater the danger that will follow.

Wu Xie had not received any professional training and swam very slowly in the water.

However, Wu Xie wasn't stupid. He saw the fat man push off the wall with both feet and run away quickly.

Wu Xie also imitated Fatty's movements in a very convincing way.

This method is indeed much faster and doesn't consume much physical energy.

Suddenly the fat man disappeared ahead. Wu Xie, ignoring his panic, was pulled away as if by someone.
