Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 131 Dangerous
After Hu Ming finished speaking, he turned on the searchlight and shone it into the water. If he remembered correctly, there must be some kind of trap in the water.

Soon, just six or seven meters ahead, a row of shadows could be faintly seen underwater.

"Just as I thought!"

The mechanism had been found, but Hu Ming frowned.

The traps were laid out across the river. Even if he discovered them, he couldn't avoid them!
"Fatty, be careful, there's a trap ahead!"

"What? There's a secret mechanism?"

At the same time, Hu Bayi and his group looked in the direction Hu Ming pointed out...

After Hu Bayi clearly saw the row of shadows in the water, he cursed under his breath, "Damn it! This can't be demolished, we have no choice but to tough it out!"

Hu Bayi knew a bit about these kinds of mechanisms, and immediately gave instructions to the fat man.

"Fatty, make sure the bamboo raft is steady!"

"Let's try to get through this slowly!"

"Okay!" the fat man replied. Although he had already slowed down to the slowest speed, the bamboo raft still caused quite a bit of vibration when it hit the mechanism.

After the mechanism was activated, the puppet gu figures behind it fell into the water one after another and immediately hatched.

"Fatty! Hurry! Row the boat!"

Seeing the terracotta warriors falling into the water, Hu Ming knew what was about to happen and immediately shouted, "Fatty, go full speed ahead!"

Seeing this, the fat man didn't hesitate. He immediately grabbed a bamboo pole and paddled the raft forward with all his might, as they had limited herbs on the raft.

And then more and more of the human-shaped Gu terracotta figures fell down, and more and more of the small white worms in the water also appeared.

At this moment, Yang Xueli suddenly understood the meaning behind Hu Ming's previous words. It turned out that these so-called little white worms were actually the Gu poison inside the terracotta warrior's body.

Fortunately, they were quick enough that they floated out before the little white worms could catch up.

At this moment, we are still more than ten meters away from reaching the shore.

Because Hu Ming noticed it early, and with the help of some herbs, the Gu worms that appeared later were left far behind. Even if those Gu worms chased after them, they wouldn't be able to get close to them for a while.

"Damn it!"

"How come we didn't notice there were so many things in this water cave before!" Hu Ming turned around and looked at the Gu worms in the water, only to find that there were also several saber-toothed carnivorous fish that had already swum over.
"hiss!"

"Mingzi, what is this?"

As soon as Hu Bayi said that, Hu Ming came over and discovered the thing Hu Bayi was talking about.

“This is a razor-toothed carrion fish!” Hu Ming explained, raising an eyebrow.

Hu Bayi and his companions gasped in shock upon hearing this, feeling a sense of dread!
The fanged carrion fish, a creature similar to piranhas, likely only appears after triggering an internal mechanism...

At this moment, Hu Bayi said with relief, "Damn it, it's a good thing Lao Qin discovered the trap, otherwise, we would probably be in grave danger..."

Suddenly, a wave rose in the water. Hu Ming looked back and saw a giant blue-scaled python emerge from the water, clearly heading in their direction.

Yang Shirley witnessed this scene as well. She had never seen such a large python before and was somewhat panicked! She immediately urged Fatty, "Fatty, row faster! There's a python behind us! Hurry!"

"What?" The fat man turned around and spotted the guy! However, the fat man was already paddling with all his might.

"Fatty, hurry!"

At that moment, urged on by Yang Xueli, the fat man shouted loudly, "What's with the urging? Do you think I'm an electric motor? I've already reached my limit!"

Hearing the fat man's words, Hu Bayi realized the situation was bad and quickly pulled out an entrenching tool, gripping it in his hand and preparing to fight at any moment.

At this moment, Hu Ming also took out a relatively ordinary dagger and placed it in his hand.

At this moment, the fat man was covered in sweat, but he still dared not relax for a moment, because those things behind him were all deadly.

Hu Ming stared at the giant blue-scaled python swimming rapidly in the water. At this moment, the fat man was exhausted, the bamboo raft was slowing down, and the giant blue-scaled python was getting closer and closer.

At that moment, when the giant blue-scaled python was only five or six meters away from them, Hu Ming immediately raised his hand and threw the dagger.

The dagger, like a bolt of lightning, pierced the right eye of the giant blue-scaled python.

Instantly, red blood flowed from the eyes of the giant blue-scaled python, staining the surrounding river red. The python began to writhe in pain in the water.

At this moment, the saber-toothed carrion fish behind them smelled the blood and charged forward like madmen.

Before long, the giant blue-scaled python was devoured by a group of saber-toothed carrion fish, leaving behind a pile of skeletons that sank to the bottom of the river. After they had eaten their fill, the saber-toothed carrion fish disappeared.

"hiss!"

Seeing this scene, Yang Xueli was already frightened.

"Alright, it's all over!"

"Keep rowing, let's get to shore up ahead!" The fat man, panting heavily, was now rowing the boat.

What they just witnessed had made Fatty and Yang Xueli's hearts leap into their throats. Even now, Yang Xueli's face was still deathly pale.

Soon, after several people reached the shore, they pulled the bamboo raft ashore.

At that moment, Hu Ming took out the map made of human skin, looked it over from all angles, and immediately pointed to a distant mountain peak, saying, "That should be the direction!"

Walking along the waterway, they soon found the place the landlady had mentioned.

Indeed, there were corpses piled up here. Hu Ming glanced at them casually and could tell that the bones on the ground were quite old and had been dead for a long time.

Moreover, the area is close to the river, so the humidity is high and many of the remains have begun to rot, emitting a foul odor.

"This is no good place, let's get out of here!"

"Hu Ming, which way do we go next?" At this moment, Yang Xueli looked at the lush green forests covering the mountains and was completely disoriented.

After drifting on the bamboo raft for so long, she even lost her sense of direction after getting off.

"Isn't it supposed to be a valley with lots of butterflies?"

"I think it should be over there!" At this moment, Hu Bayi pointed to a place in the distance where swarms of golden butterflies were flying in the air and said.

Hu Ming and Hu Bayi had the same idea. However, at this time, it was already getting dark outside. Hu Ming glanced at the sky and realized that it was not far from sunset. Traveling in the mountains late at night was not a good idea.
