Tomb Raider: Call Me Dragon Vein Cleaner

Chapter 345 Abstract Murals

The beam of the flashlight shone on the wall that had been obscured for thousands of years. It was covered with a layer of dust, but you could still vaguely make out many crisscrossing lines.

"There are murals on it, but they're covered in dust."

Chen Wenjin cleaned out a small section of the line with his hand, wiped his fingers, and then spoke.

With a thought, Cheng Feng conjured a gentle breeze from nowhere within the secret chamber.

A large amount of dust was swept off the wall by the wind, and in a moment, the murals on the wall were cleared away.

The gentle breeze carried the dust to a corner of the enclosed room, where it then disappeared.

"Having the boss around is so convenient."

Black Bear's gaze was fixed on the mural, but his restless mouth still unconsciously uttered a sarcastic remark.

However, everyone was captivated by the content displayed in the murals, and no one responded to him.

At first glance, it is clear that these murals are quite old. The simple lines are meticulous, and the story is outlined in just a few strokes.

The story begins with a group of stick figures boarding a boat decorated with snake, insect, and bird totems.

The ship crossed a forest depicted by a Y-shape, passed through a river or sea depicted by wavy lines, and finally arrived at a tower-shaped place.

Then the stick figure escorted a special little person into the tower-shaped building.

What happened during this period was not described.

After that, they happily returned to the big ship and left.

Although the murals are abstract, people still managed to understand some of the details.

"I never imagined that the Queen Mother of the West's people had actually visited Thunder City."

Chen Wenjin's eyes were filled with shock. This Queen Mother of the West was truly exaggerated; that was from thousands of years ago!

The Queen Mother of the West, who was based in Tamutuo, actually sent people to accurately locate the ruins of Leicheng, which was then called Baiyue.

They had all seen the totems on the ship-shaped murals before; these were clearly totems representing the Queen Mother of the West.

Moreover, they were almost certain that this ship was the same large ship that Cheng Feng had taken from Devil City.

"Why did they send such a special little person here?"

Yang Xueli looked thoughtful, her gaze fixed on the special little figure being brought off the ship.

Cheng Feng was somewhat disappointed. These murals revealed the story of how the Queen Mother of the West suppressed the split-off of the evil god in Thunder City.

However, the most crucial part was not recorded.

But please draw the exact location where the special little people are being held!

"Husband, did you already know about this?"

At this moment, Huo Ling looked at Cheng Feng with suspicion. She had taken in everyone's expressions just now, but Cheng Feng showed no surprise after seeing these murals.

Instead, they seemed quite disappointed.

"The special little figures in the mural are the split bodies of the evil god, or they can also be called the Thirty-Three Non-Humans."

As expected, Cheng Feng revealed a secret right away.

"Thirty-three non-human beings, what are these things?"

Chen Wenjin asked.

Cheng Feng took a few steps to the side and sat down against the coffin.

After retrieving cigarettes from the imaginary space, he gave one to Zhang Qiling and one to Hei Xiazi. A faint wisp of smoke drifted through the secret room.

Cheng Fengcai said quietly:

"The so-called Thirty-Three Non-Humans are monsters that mutate from human corpses under specific circumstances. These monsters have a total of thirty-three forms."

Therefore, they are collectively referred to as the Thirty-Three Non-Humans.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiling's eyes flickered slightly, as if he were recalling something.

"Under normal circumstances, the Thirty-Three Non-Humans do not appear in the human world. They live in the Thirty-Three Non-Human Realms, a world that belongs only to them."

However, the thirty-three non-human realms are not entirely unrelated to the human realm.

Therefore, at certain special moments, the two realms will briefly overlap, giving the thirty-three non-human beings a chance to escape from their world.

As he spoke, he pointed at the special little figure on the mural from a distance.

"The Queen Mother of the West captured the thirty-three non-human beings who had escaped and escorted them to the ruins of Thunder City, a journey of thousands of miles."

Because the thunder here can suppress it?

Hei Xiazi offered his own guess.

Cheng Feng flicked the cigarette ash into the imaginary space, then shook his head and said:

"Not entirely. The main reason why the thunder here can suppress the thirty-three non-humans is actually the thunder-listening artifact made from meteorite."

If this world had developed normally, it would have been no different from Cheng Feng's previous life.

But because of this meteorite that came to Earth from an unknown place, everything changed.

Ultimate, immortality, zongzi (rice dumplings), monsters, ancient gods—everything is closely related to meteorites.

"If that's the case, then the place where the thirty-three non-humans are imprisoned must be here."

At this moment, Zhang Qiling, who was almost completely invisible, spoke in a calm voice.

Cheng Feng nodded. He had just thought of this too. Since murals were found here, it meant that the Queen Mother of the West's people had been here.

"Sit down and rest for a while. We're very close to our goal."

There's no need to rush.

Cheng Feng kept a close eye on the physical condition of the four women, Zhang Qiling, and Hei Xiazi, to avoid causing these normal or semi-normal humans to suffer because he couldn't sense it.

The girls relaxed after hearing this, stretched, and came over to sit down.

The secret room had been cleaned by Cheng Feng with his wind, so there was basically no dust, and therefore nothing too fancy was done there.

At this time, on the other side of the same area.

Tian Youjin, still shaken, lay in the arms of a teammate, taking deep breaths.

After they went into the water, they passed through an underwater opening and reached a hidden chamber.

The place is littered with corpses, and judging from their state of decomposition, people from various eras have been left here forever.

In front of the corpses, three statues of gods stood with their eyes wide open in anger.

Having studied the art of listening to thunder for many years, Tian Youjin immediately recognized that these were all statues of the Thunder God.

With his keen sense of smell, he quickly realized that this was likely the entrance to Thunder City, so he immediately led his men over the corpses and to the statue.

As he and his subordinates were working on the activation method of the research facility, he suddenly lost consciousness.

When he woke up, he found himself in his subordinate's arms, and the original stench of decay in the cave was replaced by a strong smell of blood.

"What happened? What just happened?"

Sitting up from his subordinate's arms, Tian Youjin looked at the statue in horror. The seven men who had just been searching for the mechanism with him were now lying in pools of blood.

"Boss, you guys were just like you were possessed, performing a kneeling ritual before that statue."

Then you pulled out your daggers and tried to slit your own throats.

We only managed to save you and three brothers; the rest…”

At this point, the subordinate looked ahead.

Tian Youjin looked back at his five remaining men and felt as if the sky had fallen.

Before even entering Thunder City, of the more than twenty people he brought, only the five in front of him remained.

"Tell me exactly what the rituals we performed before committing suicide were like."
