Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 65 Crisis



"Don't be silly, it's not a ghost."

I don't know, let's take a look around, stay away from this place first, and pay attention to your feet. "Sister Hong walked forward after finishing speaking.

Strange to say, there is no large amount of water on the ground. For some reason, the road is so muddy.

"Help...help me, I'm out of strength," Researcher An couldn't pull out his foot after walking a few steps.

"Grab my hand."

With all my strength, I pulled her away from where she was.

"Just follow me and watch my footprints go, don't step on other places."

"Well, I see."

The road conditions became more and more difficult to walk, and I found that the mud could only sink to my ankles just now, but after walking for a few minutes, it has now sunk to my calves.

I'm really afraid of what will come. I was worried just now. I was afraid of this situation. There is nothing I can do now. If we want to stay where we are, those people will definitely come after us. We can only bite the bullet and move forward, thinking about getting out as soon as possible. This muddy swamp area.

Suddenly!Sister Hong's exclamation came from ahead!

"Yunfeng!" She shouted desperately.

I saw that Sister Hong stepped on the wrong place, and her whole body was sinking rapidly!

"Quick! Help!"

I was shocked when I saw this, and hurriedly called Researcher An to go over to pull Sister Hong together.

Otherwise, when people are in a hurry, they become irrational, and it's okay if I don't come here. I rushed over in two steps in a hurry, not only failed to save Sister Hong, but also fell into it myself.

We were sinking together, holding hands, and soon the mud was up to our thighs.

Sister Hong was sweating profusely from nervousness, she shouted, "Don't move around! Don't struggle!"

However, this only temporarily slowed down the sinking speed. Visible to the naked eye, our body is still sinking a little bit.

"Quick! Find a way!" Researcher An cried out in fright.

Don’t panic, don’t panic, as the only male among the three, I force myself to remain calm, because I know very well that once we mess up, the end will be a dead end. I was sweating profusely, looking left and right nervously , I'm thinking of countermeasures.

I tried to lie on my back, and at the same time, I relaxed my thighs so that I didn't struggle forcibly. I tried to adjust myself so that my center of gravity changed from sinking downwards to lying backwards.

Soon I found that this trick worked, and my lower body stopped sinking.

I yelled at her: "Take your toes! Lie back!"

Sister Hong and Researcher An immediately imitated my method and began to try to shift their focus.

The advantage of doing this is to increase the stress area of ​​the body and the mud swamp, but there is no way to escape, we can only half float like this.At this time, it would be nice to have a tree root driftwood or something nearby. If there is such a thing, we can grab it and get out of trouble.

It's a pity that it didn't. Afterwards, there was a stalemate for nearly two hours. None of us dared to move. If we dared to move, we would sink. We kept this posture until we were exhausted.

Sister Hong said weakly and frustratingly: "Yunfeng, there is no other way, it seems that we all have to die here."

"No, no, no, there must be a way, we must have a way," I tried my best to persuade Sister Hong not to give up.

"I...I have no strength, I can't hold on anymore," Researcher An's face turned pale. As soon as she finished speaking, her body began to sink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

I was extremely anxious, but I couldn't move myself. I shouted with red eyes, but I could only watch Researcher An sinking a little bit.

Just at this juncture.

"Slap..." A piece of rotten wood was thrown in front of us.

I looked towards the shore, and saw a thin figure standing not far from us. I don't know if it was a man or a woman. It looked a bit like a child. This man wore a grass-woven hat on his head. Wearing tattered clothes, he watched us circling anxiously.This rotten piece of wood was thrown over by him.

Survival is the most important thing, so I didn't have time to think about it. I grabbed this log and lay my upper body on it.Sister Hong, like me, immediately hugged the log.

"Hand! Hurry up! Give me your hand!" Researcher An's body was already sunken, and she saw a glimmer of life with her own eyes at this moment, bursting out with a strong desire to survive.

Researcher An yelled and pulled out his hands. Sister Hong and I seized the opportunity, left and right, and grabbed her wrist.

"rise!"

"Sister Hong... Use your strength!" I used up all my breastfeeding strength.

Luckily, Researcher An is thin and light in weight. With the support of driftwood, Sister Hong and I tried our best to pull her up.

This pulling caused severe pain in my left arm. Regarding the previous injury of my left arm, I always thought it was a fracture. After a few days, the injury improved and the pain was not so painful. I think it was a misjudgment before. It may be possible. Is it a torn ligament or a fractured bone or something.

Not far away, the little man with the bark straw hat saw that we were saved, and immediately waved his hands, jumping up and down to gesture to us.

Sister Hong panted profusely with sweat and said, "Hold on to the wood, the three of us together! I'll count to three and start pushing hard!"

"one two Three!"

"Go! Go forward!"

The hard work paid off, and relying on the support of this log, the three of us finally climbed to the safe zone. It was this log that saved us, or in other words, the person who saved us just now.

Exhausted, I bent over, put my hands on my knees, gasped for breath, and looked up at the same time.

"Where's... where's the person?" I took a look and realized that the person with the straw hat just now was gone.Now that place is empty and there are no people, only a series of footprints are left on the ground.

Our lower bodies were covered in mud. I walked over and looked at the footprints left on the ground. I frowned and realized something was wrong.

The footprints left on the mud showed that he was not wearing shoes, but that was where the problem lay.Most people have five toes, but this pair of footprints left clearly four toes, which can be seen very clearly.

Reminiscent of the thin figure of that person just now like a child, Sister Hong and I exchanged a glance, our expressions changed drastically!

Sister Hong and I blurted out almost at the same time.

"Mandrill!"

This footprint, and that height, who is this person!Where is the kid with the straw hat!It is clearly the mandrill we have seen before!

I looked at Sister Hong with an incredulous expression and said, "Sister Hong... Sister Hong, that thing saved us? How could it be..."

Sister Hong looked at a row of footprints extending far away, and said in a deep voice, "Yunfeng, have you noticed that that thing was wearing a straw hat made of bark just now, and it was also wearing rags that I picked up from nowhere. They are all in tatters, if they are really mandrills, they should not belong to the same group as the mandrills with black hats."

This row of footprints stretched all the way to the dark place ahead, and Sister Hong pointed to the ground and said, "Since this thing saved us, at least it shows that it is not hostile to us."

"Then let's follow this row of footprints and follow up to have a look."
