Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 102 Destroying the Iron-Headed Dragon King

The four quickly boarded the boat, and after they were on board, the boatman set sail.

Going downstream, the river was swift, and we quickly traveled a very long distance.

Fatty, Hu Bayi, and Big Gold Tooth all wore expressions of joy.

After walking such a long way and spending half a day in the cool breeze on the desolate Loess Plateau, all three of them were exhausted.

Finally, we were on the ship. Thinking that we'd soon find a hotel, take a nice hot shower, eat a bowl of steaming beef noodles, and get some rest, how could I not be happy?
Hu Ming, however, showed no joy whatsoever; instead, he looked around nervously.

"Fatty, you're incredibly accurate! We shouted like that, and the boat actually came. Fatty, you're amazing!"

Big Gold Tooth gave a thumbs-up, and his gaze toward the fat man was somewhat strange.

"I, Big Gold Tooth, have been in the underworld for so many years and consider myself to have a good eye for people, but I find it increasingly difficult to understand you three gentlemen."

He used his honed eloquence to flatter the fat man vigorously.

"Fatty is really amazing, unfathomable. I have no idea how many more skills he has up his sleeve."

Hearing this, Hu Bayi interjected, "Big Gold Tooth, stop talking. He just said it casually, and it just happened to be right. What's so strange about that?"

"There will always be a few boats coming and going along the Yellow River. You can guess that with your eyes closed. It's nothing special."

Upon seeing this, the fat man began arguing with Hu Bayi, while Hu Ming shook his head.

Hu Ming was highly focused at this moment, his eyes fixed on the murky river surface, thinking about the Iron-Headed Dragon King that might appear at any moment.

If that guy shows up, another fierce battle is probably inevitable.

Since transmigrating and having his body enhanced by the system, Hu Ming's confidence in his body has increased dramatically, and he has also gained boundless courage for no apparent reason.

Ancient books say that young adults have abundant vital energy, which makes them resistant to evil spirits. This is probably the idea behind it.

When a person is full of energy and vigor, they have a fearless spirit and don't believe in anything, including ghosts and demons. But once they become unwell and bedridden, they lose their energy and strength, and inevitably become afraid of this and that, and suspicious of everything.

People who don't usually believe in God will inevitably pray for divine protection when faced with a critical moment or life-or-death situation; that's just human nature.

At this moment, Hu Ming felt like he was fighting a battle with the heavens.

On the one hand, he was a little excited at the thought of meeting the legendary Iron-Headed Dragon King soon.

On the other hand, there was a vague sense of unease about the terrifying situation that might follow.

Just then, the boat shook violently, and river water splashed in, covering everyone in muddy soup. The boatman shouted in terror.

"The River God has appeared and is going to take our boat away."

As soon as he finished speaking, lightning flashed and thunder roared, dark clouds rolled in, and a torrential downpour began.

The sky suddenly darkened.

"boom!"

Another thunderclap suddenly sounded, and a bolt of lightning ripped through the sky.

By the light of lightning flashing through the dark clouds, Hu Ming could vaguely see something the size of a small hill in the murky river.

The thing was mostly hidden in the river, with only a small part of it sticking out of the water. Even that small part was bigger than a Dongfeng truck.

This sight made Hu Ming gasp in shock. Was the legendary Iron-Headed Dragon King truly such a colossal creature?
With all that he has, can he really defeat the Iron-Headed Dragon King?
This thought flashed through Hu Ming's mind.

The next moment, he snatched a harpoon and leaped into the air.

He gripped the ship's rope with one hand and held a two-pronged fork in the other, then fiercely thrust it towards the Iron-Headed Dragon King.

When two brave souls meet on a narrow path, the brave shall prevail. At this moment, Hu Ming gathered all his energy and spirit, forgetting everything else.

In his eyes, there was only the Iron-Headed Dragon King in the river, its harpoon raised high, ready to plunge straight down.

Target: Ironhead Dragon King's right eye.

On the ship, Big Gold Tooth was already seasick and vomiting constantly.

Upon seeing the lightning and thunder, and the appearance of the Iron-Headed Dragon King, they were terrified and lost their minds.

He was clinging tightly to the iron railing of the ship, his whole body feeling limp.

The captain was extremely superstitious. Upon seeing the Iron-Headed Dragon King appear, he lost all will to resist and lay in the cabin, quietly awaiting his death.

Only Hu Bayi and Fatty refused to believe in evil and were just thinking of ways to grab some weapons to deal with the Iron-Headed Dragon King when they saw Hu Ming leaping into the air.

"boom!"

Another thunderclap suddenly exploded, illuminating the sky.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, Hu Ming's figure appeared as if a god or demon had descended to earth, swooping down like a celestial being.

Hu Bayi was stunned for a moment, not expecting Hu Ming to be so fierce, but then he became anxious.

The fat man's eyes widened in disbelief. "Damn, Mingzi is really something else!"

Before his voice had even faded, he saw the Iron-Headed Dragon King in the river open its massive mouth.

It was pitch black and several meters in size; it could probably swallow a tiger whole.

Hu Ming lunged at his opponent, the benefits of his body being enhanced by the system now fully revealed.

Hu Ming's movements were incredibly agile, fast, and precise.

Now, he has enhanced his bloodline power, giving Hu Ming superhuman reflexes, agility, and strength, making him no less capable than Xiao Ge.

The harpoon moved slightly in the air, following the movement of the Iron-Headed Dragon King, but remained firmly locked onto the Iron-Headed Dragon King's right eye.

As for the terrifying gaping maw of the Iron-Headed Dragon King, Hu Ming completely ignored it. In the lightning, Hu Ming's figure appeared incredibly small compared to the massive Iron-Headed Dragon King below.

But the next moment, Hu Ming held a harpoon in one hand and, with a thud, stabbed it into the Iron-Headed Dragon King's right eye.

It was only after this encounter that Hu Ming realized just how powerful the Iron-Headed Dragon King was.

When the harpoon was thrust at its head, it was as if it had struck an impenetrable wall; it simply couldn't penetrate.

The Iron-Headed Dragon King truly had an iron head. Fortunately, the harpoon had two prongs; one prong pierced his head, while the other prong pierced his eye socket.

The Iron-Headed Dragon King's head was as hard as a copper wall, but his eyeballs were not.

But everything in the world has its weaknesses.

The Iron-Headed Dragon King's body was as hard as iron, but its eyes were its Achilles' heel.

Hu Ming's attack was a direct hit to the vital point, but the other tooth of the harpoon was blocked by the Iron-Headed Dragon King's iron head, which prevented the tooth that was meant to pierce the eyeball from penetrating.

Fortunately, Hu Ming now possesses strength far exceeding that of ordinary people.

He braced his body on the wooden handle of the two-pronged fork, and with a sudden burst of force, a crack was heard, and the fork that was piercing the Iron-Headed Dragon King's head broke off at the root.

Now, the trident that had pierced the Iron-Headed Dragon King's eye was no longer hindered by any external force, and with a whoosh, it pierced deep inside.

"Boom!"

The Iron-Headed Dragon King was clearly in great pain from the stab, and immediately went berserk.

Its body slapped against the river, creating terrifying waves tens of meters high.

Hu Ming loosened his grip, then used his other hand to pull on the cable, and with a whoosh, he was back on the boat.

The breathtaking scene just now, seemingly incredibly complex, was actually completed in the blink of an eye.

fleeting.

Before Hu Bayi and Fatty could react, Hu Ming had already picked up another two-pronged fork on the boat and stabbed it towards the Iron-Headed Dragon King's other eye.

The fat man stuck out his tongue and opened his mouth wide.

Hu Bayi hurriedly stepped forward to stop his cousin, but Hu Ming pulled out a bomb from somewhere and shoved it into Hu Bayi's hand.

Then he immediately turned around and went to deal with the Iron-Headed Dragon King.

"Ow!"

The Iron-Headed Dragon King roared wildly, its eye blinded, and it was utterly enraged.

Hu Ming's moves remained as steady as ever, without the slightest deviation.

This is a benefit brought about by the improvement of his vital energy and spirit. A strong vital energy and spirit not only makes him energetic and spirited.

During combat, one can quickly gather all their energy and control their body and movements.

"Crack!" The sound of iron teeth breaking rang out again, and the two-pronged fork in Hu Ming's hand pierced into the other eyeball of the Iron-Headed Dragon King once more.

This time, the Iron-Headed Dragon King was completely baffled.

However, after losing his sight, the Iron-Headed Dragon King went completely mad.

"Boom."

With a sudden swish of its massive tail, the Iron-Headed Dragon King sent the iron ship flying into the air.

At this moment, the people on the boat jumped around like beans being fried in a pot.

At this moment, Hu Ming's body was still outside the ship, but he was still swinging while holding onto the iron ship's ropes, and then he attacked the Iron-Headed Dragon King.

At that moment, the iron ship was knocked away, and Hu Ming was also lifted into the air by the cable.

It turned out that the iron ship was piled with many mechanical objects, but they were not placed evenly and neatly.

With one end light and the other heavy, this isn't a big problem for normal navigation.

But now, after being hit by the Iron-Headed Dragon King, it was in grave danger.

However, by sheer coincidence, Hu Ming's body swayed with the cable, which just happened to balance the weight of the iron ship.

His body wasn't originally that heavy, but with the swing of the cable, it was just the right amount of force to deflect a heavy weight.

The iron ship was thus held down; though it had fallen from a great height, filling the ship with yellow liquid, it ultimately did not capsize.

Hu Ming then fell into the Yellow River, but fortunately, he held on tightly to the cable.

As soon as he fell into the water, he climbed up the rope and quickly climbed back onto the boat.

At this time, lightning and thunder still flashed in the sky, and the Iron-Headed Dragon King was still stirring up trouble in the river.

But Hu Ming had blinded it in both eyes, so it could no longer find the iron ship and just went crazy, stirring up towering waves.

"Roar..." It surfaced and roared at the sky.

Upon seeing this, Hu Bayi immediately lit the fuse and threw it over, which landed right in its mouth.

"boom……"

The explosion caused the water to surge, and huge waves crashed onto their boat with a deafening roar. Everyone fell onto the deck, but thankfully the boat did not capsize.

However, Hu Ming quickly got up and saw that the Iron-Headed Dragon King not far away had already turned its white belly up.
