[Tomb Raiders Notes] The date has not been changed

Chapter 170

Darkness and water are two themes of primitive human fear.

But when Pokerfing is by my side, fear doesn't exist.

Both of us held our breath, not daring to make any sound, the only sound echoing in the tomb was the sound of the giant dragging water.

According to the fluctuation of the water, the direction and trend of the snake's swimming can be roughly judged.

At this time, I finally understood that the broken waterway is not a broken waterway, but a passage for this big snake.

However, the broken water channel is only about two meters wide, which means that the snake mother is actually smaller than I thought.

But the key question now is how do we get out.

The ground above the pool is full of black-haired snakes, and we don't know where those black-haired snakes came from. It is also very dangerous for us to return the same way.

In fact, at this time, I already had a sketch in my heart, but I don't know if Pokerfing's thoughts are the same as mine.

Pokerfing pulled me, and I clinged to him. For a moment, I wondered if my little brother wanted to take advantage of the blackness to moleste me. Then I realized that although it was dark, it was still transparent, and it was the same as Pokerfinger. When I got close enough, I could see his movements.

Poker-Face raised his hand, and his hand crossed the water without making a sound, then pointed to the broken water channel outside, which meant that he wanted to enter the broken water channel.

Although this is outrageous, in fact, it is the only way I can think of.

Staying in this closed pool is tantamount to cocooning oneself. The waterway outside is separated from here by a wall. For creatures of the size of the snake mother, it is almost non-existent. Although there is a black crack at the bottom of the pool, it is obviously just It is almost impossible to use it as an inlet and outlet.

The only connection with the outside world is the water inlet opened on the wall. If the snake mother can pass through, we will definitely be able to pass through.Although it is trying to die, it is also the only way to survive.

I nodded at my little brother. In the current situation, I can’t communicate in words. The relationship between me and my little brother is purely based on tacit understanding. I didn’t invent the code system with Fatty and Xiaohua. At this time, I have nothing to do. Express, you can only act in accordance with the wishes of the little brother.

What's more, in an ancient tomb of this level, listening to my brother is also a surefire strategy.

To my surprise, Poker Ping didn't communicate with me anymore, but directly hung my arm around his neck, almost carrying me on his back.With this action, I don't need to use any strength, and I can pretend to be a still life to the greatest extent.

Snakes have very poor vision, and they rely on the heat radiated from their bodies to find their prey. When our body temperature is low and we are still, the probability of being spotted is relatively small.However, the space in this place is very small, even if he has a body like a stuffy oil bottle, it will be a matter of time before he is discovered.

Just as I was thinking, Poker Bottle had already started to move. In the darkness, I couldn't tell which direction he was going. I could only feel the water marks separating from my side, and we were moving slowly.

Then, all of my body came out of the water, and the Poker bottle climbed directly to the outer edge of the pool, and then without making a sound, it slid into the broken water channel in the outer circle with me.

As soon as I entered the outer circle, I shuddered.The temperature of the water in the outer ring is completely different from that of the hot springs in the inner ring. It is more like snow water from thawed icebergs. It is bitingly cold, and I even immediately felt a layer of ice formed around my clothes.At this temperature, I will be frozen to death in a short time, there is no doubt about it.

Moreover, although I can’t confirm it visually, I can be sure that the periphery of the broken water channel is not as narrow as I imagined, and the range of the pool below the surface may be expanded. It’s just that from the ground in the stone room, you can only see With this width of two meters, more water is hidden under the ground.

Of course, it can also be said that this place was originally a lake, and the stone chamber was actually built on the lake, which also makes sense.

Although the surrounding water area is so wide, I am a little surprised, but it is also reasonable. After all, if the snake mother only needs a space of about two meters, then there is no way to explain the tiankeng of the Lama Temple outside. Of course, it does not mean that The tiankeng can lead here, but logically, there should indeed be things of similar size on both sides.

Poker Bottle floated for a few seconds to identify the direction, and then said to me in a breathy voice: "Hold your breath."

I pinched his right shoulder, indicating OK, and then the Poker bottle sank into the water.

The "Poker Bottle" is like a small cockroach moving forward in the water. The icy water almost made me lose consciousness, so I could only hold on to the Poker Bottle tightly.

The cold water made my brain prick like needles. I realized that the wide waters outside not only saved us from facing the snake mother head-on, but also brought about a huge problem, that is, the exit might not be where we used to be. Judgmental position.

Because the original idea was that the water is an independent underground stream, and the mouth of the water is hidden behind the Bagua array, but now it seems that this stone chamber is a small isolated island, and we have drifted to the vast ocean outside the isolated island. The home altar is still a system, but how we will return to land is unknown.And once I leave the narrow area of ​​the broken water channel, the lake water is under the ground in other places, and I can't breathe.

If he wants to take a fresh breath, he has to go back to the starting point, so if possible, I will try not to bother him.

I knew a long time ago that I would come to the brink of death again and again if I wanted to know about Poker Bottle, so I have been constantly challenging my limits in the past ten years.I have a rough idea of ​​how high I can jump, how far I can run at one time, and how long I can hold my breath.

The current situation is that 40% of my limit time has passed, and I need to let my brother understand this.

I pinched my brother's left shoulder. In our coded language communication, there is a simple principle that right is YES and left is NO. In this case, I say SAYNO, and my brother should be able to understand what I mean.

The little brother's body paused for a moment and made a movement of turning his head, but then he turned back and continued to swim deep.

The little brother shook my right hand to signal that he knew.

I tried my best to calm myself down. At this time, I have no way out on my own. No matter how my brother decides, I should believe that he will not make a mistake.

And I also know that my little brother will not do such a thing as leaving me alone.

At this time, I felt a strange feeling on the tip of my right toe, something rough slipped by my foot, I froze for a moment, and then the goosebumps all over my body suddenly exploded.

The snake mother is actually by our side.

Poker bottle obviously also realized this, and swam quickly trying to get rid of the snake mother while looking for the entrance. At this time, I couldn't see anything, so I could only lie on his back as much as possible to reduce his burden.

It's just that no matter how hard I try to ignore it, it's impossible not to feel the suffocation of the air being pulled from the lungs a little bit.

In the darkness, everything is unknown, Poker Bottle is my last driftwood.

That rough but slippery touch appeared repeatedly around my feet, which let me know that the snake mother was always by my side, but that feeling was getting fainter every time for me, because With suffocation my senses slowly dull.

80%.

I pinched my brother's left shoulder again, this time with a little more force, and he quickly shook my right hand back, signaling that he knew.

What on earth did he know? He must have misunderstood it.

I suddenly had such a desperate thought.

Going round and round, or maybe a straight line, I don't know, my mind has already started to feel dizzy. When 80% of the air is used, physical discomfort is already evident. If you resume breathing at 90, you will get a nosebleed. I have never challenged it at 100, but I know that the body can still survive if the oxygen deficiency reaches a certain level, but the brain may be permanently damaged.

I kept pinching You Fing's left shoulder, although I knew it might be futile.

Poker Bottle began to move in a straight line in a certain direction, which made me feel the dawn, he should have judged the direction of the exit.

But how long can I last?

85%.My lungs started to squeeze and it took a lot of effort to stay awake.The water was on either side of me, parting like sharp arrows.

I unconsciously grasped Poker Face's left shoulder.

Suddenly my body sank, feeling being dragged into a turbulent vortex. At this moment, I felt my body drifting for a while, and then Poker Bottle grabbed me tightly and let me stick close to him again.

Then the jaw was pinched, and the mouth opened instinctively, but what was poured in was not ice water, but warm and humid air.
