Tomb Raider: Make your choice from the Old Nine Gates

Chapter 59 0059 Surviving the Disaster

Jude Kao smiled and said, "I have already fully understood this mine. It is not so easy to figure out the way inside. We have sent a group of people in before, and nearly half of them died."

As he spoke, the smile on his face deepened.

"Don't worry. Although they have entered the mine, it is impossible for them to find the treasures inside so quickly. We can use this time to win over other forces in the Nine Gates. I'm afraid it will be a big blow to this Buddha."

Jude Kao had his own ideas. Seeing that the Japanese didn't quite understand, he simply told them his thoughts.

"Mr. Jude Kao, it would be best if everything is as you said. Otherwise, since we are able to cooperate with you, we are also capable of killing you directly. You'd better not deceive us, and you'd better not hinder our interests because of your own cleverness."

The Japanese woman suddenly took out a pistol and pointed it directly at Jude Kao's forehead.

Jude Kao didn't look panicked at all. He pushed the gun away from the woman's hand, with his usual fake smile on his face.

"Don't worry, since we have decided to cooperate with you, we naturally expect a win-win situation."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

The Japanese woman obviously didn't trust him very much, but Qiu Dekao was no pushover after all, and the forces under his command were also complicated. She really couldn't do anything to him for the time being, so she had to warn him and then left. Then she placed a few more people around him just in case.

Jude Kao didn't care about these things. He was always determined to achieve his ideas.

On the other side, after Zhang Qihai and his team entered the cave, they walked forward in a straight line. Apart from the black ore, they did not find anything unusual around them.

"Oh my god, there were so many strange things the last time I came here, how come we haven't seen any of them in such a long time?"

Qi Tiezui held the torch to light the way and spoke with some complaints.

"Don't worry, this is a big cave. Let's go forward and see."

"Master Buddha, look, there is a hole in front."

At this time, the subordinate walking in front made a new discovery and immediately reported it to the Buddha.

The group of people gathered in front of the cave entrance.

Zhang Qihai took a quick look and then threw a stone in. It hit the ground with a sound, proving that the cave was not very deep.

He made a prompt decision and said, "This cave is quite narrow and can only accommodate one person. I will lower a rope down and everyone can go in through this cave one by one."

Jiu Ye, who was always cautious, interrupted him and said, "Let's send two of our men to take a look at the situation first. This is safer. If there is any accident, we can't be wiped out."

"Too."

Although Zhang Qihai was familiar with the plot and knew that there was no major danger inside, after all, there was now one more person, and he was not sure whether this cave entrance would change.

Seeing that Master Jiu was being cautious, he nodded as well.

The Buddha made a gesture to his two subordinates and then threw a rope down.

"Yes, Lord Buddha!"

The two men spoke respectfully, and then prepared to climb down the rope.

"When you go down, walk along the middle of the rope. Don't touch the ends of the wall, and don't look at the wall out of curiosity."

Zhang Qihai spoke up to remind them.

"Don't most people just climb down the wall? Is there any explanation for this?"

Qi Tiezui was a little puzzled, then asked.

"Is such that."

The one who answered him was Er Yuehong. "It is recorded in the materials left by my ancestors that this is a Shenque cave. It is best not to walk along the wall. In addition, our ancestors have an unwritten rule, which is not to walk along the common path. Most of the mechanisms in this cave were set up by our ancestors. It is indeed safer to walk in the middle."

"So that's it."

Qi Tiezui nodded, "Second Master is indeed very thoughtful. With you going down to the tomb with us, it really is twice the result with half the effort. It can be said that we are already halfway to success."

Then he looked at Zhang Qihai again, "Master Buddha, I didn't expect that you, as a member of the Zhang family, would know so much about this. You are indeed more powerful than I thought."

"I read the information that Second Master brought with me again when I came here, and I had a brief understanding of it."

Zhang Qihai said lightly.

"sharp."

Qi Tiezui made a thumbs-up gesture and began to admire him from the bottom of his heart.

The two men nodded, and then climbed down along the rope, but they were soldiers after all, not professional tomb robbers.

Entering such a dark cave is obviously much more stressful, and people are more likely to make mistakes when they are nervous.

The first person accidentally touched the wall. When he looked towards the wall, he saw a huge human face embedded in the wall.

"Ah! Ghost!"

He shouted almost instinctively, and kicked his legs towards the wall, trying to climb up instinctively, but he triggered a mechanism.

Hidden arrows began to shoot out from the wall, and the two men's pupils dilated instantly. However, the two men were so frightened that they didn't know how to dodge and could only watch these arrows shoot towards them.

Seeing this, Zhang Qihai quickly jumped down. He was very fast. He first grabbed the arrows with his hand, then pushed them aside, and finally placed them both steadily on the ground one by one.

"Thank you, Little Buddha."

"Thank you, Little Buddha."

Neither of them had thought that there was still a chance of survival in this situation, and they kept expressing their gratitude as they had been saved.

Apart from the surprise of surviving the disaster, what remained in my heart was admiration for this little Buddha.

"It's all right down there, all of you come down."

Zhang Qihai simply nodded, then looked upward and spoke to the group of people above.

"Master Xiao Fo, you are so amazing. You were able to catch such a fast hidden arrow with your bare hands, and you were able to put these two people on the ground one by one. This speed is simply not something a human can possess."

Qi Tiezui, as soon as he climbed down, said to him in surprise.

The envy in his eyes became more and more obvious. He himself was the one with the worst kung fu among the group. Now seeing the little Buddha's incredible skills, he admired him even more.

Chapter 60 Without a trace

The other people also looked at him with surprise and admiration.

On the other hand, Lu Jianxun knew that Zhang Qishan and the others were not at home, so he chose this time to visit and check what was going on.

However, as soon as he walked into the Zhang family's gate, he was stopped by two soldiers at the door.

"Master Lu, our Buddha just went out. If you have something to discuss with him, you might as well come back later."

The corner of Lu Jianxun's mouth twitched. It was obvious that this was an order that had been given before Zhang Qishan left.

"Then do you know where Master Buddha is now? I do have something urgent to do and need to visit him."

The servant smiled awkwardly, "Master Lu, you also know that we are just two servants responsible for guarding the gate. How can the Buddha tell us if he has something to say? You should go back first."

After thinking for a while, he added, "How about this, when the Buddha comes, I will inform him and let him come to find you personally."

The two servants spoke up, looking increasingly embarrassed.

"No, I'll come visit again in a few days."

Lu Jianxun's face turned ugly, but he didn't try to force his way in.

Zhang Qihai and his group went down into the cave one after another. Apart from this human face mechanism, they did not find any other dangers for the time being.

"Let's continue walking inside. Be careful and follow my steps. Walk in the middle and don't walk to the sides. There are traps everywhere. If you are not careful, you may lose your life."

After all, there was the lesson of these two soldiers, so Zhang Qihai emphasized it again.

"Yes!"

Everyone in the group responded in unison.

After all, it was a mechanism set up by Er Yuehong's ancestors, so Er Yuehong was still in charge, Zhang Qihai followed closely behind him, and the other group of people followed them step by step and moved forward, avoiding many mechanisms along the way.

After walking for a distance, Er Yuehong suddenly stopped.

"What is this?"

Qi Tiezui then looked forward, and what appeared before him was a road covered with silk nets. In addition to these intertwined silk nets, the road also emitted a dim red light, which looked very creepy.

"This is too scary."

There are wire mesh everywhere, can we get through?"

"Is there any monster in here?"

After all, the men had never been to an ancient tomb, and when they saw this strange sight, fear once again took over their minds, and they spoke to each other tremblingly.

"Please be quiet."

The Buddha spoke in a cold voice, and several people had to try their best to restrain their fear and tightly shut their mouths.

Zhang Qihai took a quick look and had some ideas in his mind.

"This is just an ordinary silk net, but these nets are made by red moths. It's simple and difficult at the same time. As long as we don't touch these silk nets when we pass by, nothing will happen."

Zhang Qihai began to explain science to these people.

Er Yuehong also nodded.

"Yes, that's right. These silk nets are closely connected to the red flying geese. If we accidentally touch these silk nets, we will alarm the red moths on them, which will indirectly trigger the mechanisms of these silk nets. Then the moths will attack us in groups. It is very likely that we will be entangled in these nets and suffocate to death."

Because he was worried that his men might encounter accidents due to his nervousness, Er Yuehong simply followed Zhang Qihai's words and explained to them the consequences of accidentally touching the wire mesh.

However, after saying this, their fear increased even more.

"Everyone keep up with me."

For these things, Zhang Qihai thought it was a piece of cake. Master Fo and Er Yuehong were no problem either. However, Master Ba was proficient in another way, which was relatively difficult. And his men were very nervous. If there was no one to lead the way, something unexpected might happen.

After thinking about it briefly, he took the lead and led these people step by step towards the silk screen road. The group followed in his footsteps, but did not trigger the mechanisms.

"Ah, save me..."

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly reached their ears. Zhang Qihai looked back and saw that Master Fo, Master Er and the others were there, but Master Ba was no longer in his sight.

He looked at the wall next to him thoughtfully, "He might have accidentally triggered the mechanism and was sucked into the wall."

"Yes... it's like this. I just saw Mr. Ba's body hit the wall, and then he was sucked in."

One of the men spoke tremblingly, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
