Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 122 Get out
This was because Hu Ming informed the group of the answer in advance, and also because of the reasonable arrangements.

This time, the four of them successfully rotated the corresponding funerary objects without any incident, thus fulfilling the requirements of the mechanism.

After all, one person is responsible for two walls, and all they need to do is turn the already known answer.

clack clack...

Just as Big Gold Tooth finished turning the last miniature screen made of Phoebe zhennan wood on the fourth wall.

The shrinking stone slab beneath my feet stopped completely and then returned to its original position.

The wall in front of everyone, filled with treasures, began to slowly rise.

And the tomb door they entered through was slowly opening.

at this time……

"Tsk, I told you a thief never leaves empty-handed."

"Having come this far, how can we just stand by and watch these treasures be taken back?"

Suddenly, Hu Ming pulled out his only remaining machete, and under the firelight, the blade's sharpness became even more dazzling.

Because Hu Ming had a former girlfriend from the Huo family, he had learned quite a bit about government affairs and such, so he could naturally make out the truth.

At this point, by using some special methods, it's still possible to obtain a few treasures without triggering any mechanisms.

"Could it be?"

Fatty, Hu Bayi, and Big Gold Tooth exchanged glances, their eyes filled with joy.

As they just saw, the treasures here are all fixed to the stone wall.

It can only be rotated, but cannot be removed.

And if they turn it, the stone slabs beneath their feet will probably disappear instantly, right?
But Hu Ming's knife is different!
Swish!!!
Hu Ming leaped high into the air, crouched down in the hidden compartment to stabilize himself, and slashed repeatedly with his black knife while constantly adjusting his position to strike the other hidden compartments.

When the stone wall was completely retracted and Hu Ming landed, he already had several exquisite treasures in his arms.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Hu Ming had managed to remove these treasures by severing the connection between the base and the stone wall without triggering any mechanisms.

This is what is meant by "skill breeds daring." After returning to the stone platform in front of the coffin, Hu Ming focused his attention on the chessboard.

clack clack...

"Wait, there are still traps? This isn't over yet!?"

Upon seeing this, the fat man was immediately shocked and couldn't help but shout.

Along the way, apart from that person's dark complexion and shy demeanor, they either encountered traps or were on their way to encounter traps.

If this continues, Fatty will probably suffer a nervous breakdown. Not to mention Fatty, even Hu Bayi and Big Gold Tooth look rather unwell right now.

"Calm down, look, this time it's something good!" Hu Ming chuckled and pointed to the chessboard.

The chessboard folded up to both sides, revealing an exquisitely carved black metal box in the space below.

clack clack...

The metal box unfolded automatically, revealing its contents.

It was a dark-colored tortoise shell engraved with ancient symbols.

At the very center of the tortoise shell, an eye-like symbol stands out prominently.

The second half of the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book! Hu Ming's face lit up with joy.

"Mingzi, what is this thing?"

At this point, the fat man and his companions looked left and right but still couldn't figure out the mystery behind the tortoise shell.

But something so precious, preserved here by the tomb's owner, must be an extraordinary treasure. They decided to stop thinking and directly asked Hu Ming. Past experience told them that anything related to ancient tombs seemed to be something Jiangnan knew!
"Ah, this is most likely the second half of the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book. Explaining it in detail would be too troublesome."

"In short, this thing is priceless!"

Judging by the timeline and the plot development, Yang Shirley should have already brought Professor Sun to Gulan County.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the trip to the tomb of the King Xian in southern Yunnan is a done deal.

Therefore, the human skin map in Chen Yulou's hands is something he absolutely must obtain.

This trip to the Dragon Ridge Caves has finally come to an end.

Guided by Hu Ming's infallible five senses, the group returned smoothly along the same route.

This was thanks to the secret ingredients applied to the second half of the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book.

Along the way, the black-faced, lecherous man completely avoided the group.

Not to mention they wouldn't come to attack on their own initiative, which saved Hu Ming a lot of effort.

After all, no one knows exactly how many of these strange things are in this labyrinthine cave.

Just as Hu Ming and his three companions emerged from the Fishbone Temple, Chen Yulou happened to be there to greet them.

"Hey, old man, your divination skills are indeed quite impressive."

"We brothers finally made it out of this ancient tomb after a lot of trouble."

"You followed right after me?"

Hu Ming was delighted to see Chen Yulou walking briskly, seemingly not blind at all.

“Young man, my divination skills are naturally profound and extensive, capable of knowing five hundred years into the past and five hundred years into the future.”

"The mystery and intricacies involved are self-evident."

Chen Yulou smiled smugly, then hesitated before saying, "Brother, our agreement..."

He was certainly aware of the dangers within this ancient tomb; after all, what kind of person was his good friend, Jin Suanpan?
Didn't they just fall into this ancient tomb? Although these young people, especially this young man Hu Ming, do have some skills.

However, Chen Yulou still had some concerns.

"Of course it was accomplished. This treasure pouch is a relic of the Golden Abacus."

"Can this be considered proof that we have fulfilled our agreement?" Hu Ming took out the treasure pouch containing Wen Xiangyu from the golden abacus and threw it to Chen Yulou.

Apart from the fragrant jade, Hu Ming and his companions didn't take a single penny from the contents.

After all... they're all old relics, props from decades ago, they're really useless now.

Take, for example, the Red Box Wonderful Heart Pill. Decades ago, that stuff was a miracle drug for opening coffins; it was a secret medicine passed down only by the tomb raiders.

The method of fighting poison with poison can effectively neutralize the poison in corpses.

But nowadays? A gas mask is enough; that's progress.

"Indeed, it's the heirloom of my cunning brother..."

"It seems you guys have indeed found the remains of the Golden Abacus."

Blind Chen carefully examined the objects with both hands, came to a conclusion, and sighed softly.

"As agreed, we have already buried the Golden Abacus, so the Tomb Raider Talisman naturally belongs to us brothers. Mr. Chen, you have no doubt about that, right?"

"Of course!"

Chen Yulou nodded, his wish fulfilled. He was about to turn and leave, without intending to ask Wen Xiangyu any questions.
