Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 14

At this moment, Hu Bayi also noticed the Western Region Fire Dragon Glazed Dome above his head.

"Be careful when you come in. Also, whatever you do, don't break through the top of the tomb. That's a mechanism made of Western Region Fire Dragon Glazed Tiles, you can't touch it." At this moment, Hu Bayi didn't forget to remind them, so that Fatty and Yingzi wouldn't be unaware of the danger.

Legend has it that the Western Region Fire Dragon Glazed Roof was made using an extremely flammable mechanism.

Moreover, the materials inside will ignite as soon as they come into contact with air, and the fire cannot be extinguished.

Having a Western Region fire dragon glazed roof on one's head is just too damn dangerous.

Therefore, Hu Bayi also signaled to Hu Ming to keep an eye on Fatty, because Fatty's personality made him prone to getting into trouble.

Hu Ming understood, so he stayed by the fat man's side.

The group searched the area for a long time but found nothing.

At this moment, the group found no large coffin in the tomb, except for murals and some carved ornaments, which aroused their curiosity.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the fat man suddenly had a mischievous thought and saw two protruding squares on the wall of the main tomb, so he pressed the one on the right.

This scene was witnessed by Hu Ming, who had been watching him closely. Unable to stop him in time, Hu Ming cursed, "You damn fatso!"

At this moment, Hu Ming hadn't expected the fat man's hand speed to be so fast. No wonder he'd been single for over thirty years; it was truly unpredictable.

"Quick, lie down!" Hu Ming shouted, and Hu Bayi, Fatty, and Yingzi immediately lay down.

call out!…

Whoosh!

Corrosive venom and arrows sprayed from the mechanism appeared from all directions, moving horizontally and shooting towards the opposite tomb wall and the artifacts inside the tomb.

Hissing and crackling, the intense corrosion produced thick white smoke, which was visible to everyone.

hiss~
Hu Bayi looked at him with a mixture of disappointment and exasperation. He couldn't help but yell at the fat man, "Hey fatso, what were you doing touching all that stuff? You almost got us killed just now!"
"And besides, if Mingzi hadn't reminded you in time, you'd be burned to a pulp right now, used as a sample."

"I...I just wanted to..." At this moment, the fat man, knowing he was in the wrong, was speechless after being told off by Hu Bayi.

Hu Ming then angrily retorted, "What the hell are you thinking!" He then instructed Yingzi, "Yingzi, keep an eye on Fatty in a bit. If he's not up to par, give him a good kick so he'll learn his lesson!"

After all, tomb raiding is no child's play; continuing like this could easily lead to serious trouble.

Yingzi assured him, "Yeah, Ming-ge, don't worry. If that fatso ever touches me again, I'll be the first to break his legs!"

Upon hearing Yingzi's words, the fat man exclaimed, "Hey! Yingzi, do you have to be so cruel?!"

Yingzi ignored him and snorted coldly. The fat man didn't say anything more.

Fatty Wang knew that the men were just joking; they wouldn't actually lay a hand on him. However, he realized he had gone a bit too far.

Thankfully, everyone is alright now.

At this moment, Hu Bayi looked at Hu Ming with some doubt and said, "Mingzi, where do you think this guy would put the big coffin? I haven't found it yet. Could it be an empty tomb?" Upon hearing Hu Bayi's words, the fat man spat a few times and said to Hu Bayi in an annoyed tone, "Hey, what are you talking about, an empty tomb? Maybe you'll need to trigger a mechanism."

Hu Ming glanced at the fat man with some surprise upon hearing this, and then said, "The fat man is right. This tomb chamber also uses a lot of mechanisms, and the large coffin may be hidden somewhere."

After saying this, Hu Ming said to everyone, "Everyone, stay hidden. Fatty, press the wall block on the left side where you just pressed."

The fat man replied, "Okay!"

The others also hid. Upon seeing this, the fat man pressed down and then quickly lay down.

At this moment, a stone door suddenly opened on the opposite side of the originally sealed main burial chamber, and an inner burial chamber appeared before everyone's eyes.

Upon seeing this, the fat man exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, that's interesting! I'll go take a look!" With that, he ran inside first.

Hu Ming was speechless. Had he forgotten what had just happened? Why was he being so reckless again?

However, Hu Ming also breathed a sigh of relief, as he had just randomly selected a mechanism to press.

At this moment, Hu Bayi walked over to Hu Ming and praised, "Mingzi, you're amazing! You found it so easily."

Hu Ming said somewhat embarrassedly, "I found several mechanisms and was thinking of trying them one by one. I didn't expect to choose the right one on the first try."

Just then, the fat man suddenly exclaimed, "Wow, good heavens! Old Hu, Mingzi, inside, not only is there another tomb chamber, but there's actually a huge coffin! Mingzi, come in quickly, there are dinosaur fossils here! This guy really knows how to collect things!"

Upon entering, the fat man was so excited that it seemed as if he could see green banknotes in his eyes.

Hu Bayi, upon hearing there were dinosaur fossils, was also skeptical. After taking a look, he exclaimed helplessly, "You idiot, you're so uncultured! These aren't dinosaur fossils, they're burial horses, a kind of horse burial pit! You good-for-nothing!"

The fat man, however, didn't care and said, "Whatever, who cares if it's a dinosaur fossil or not? It's valuable, that's all that matters. Big Gold Tooth said that tombs usually don't put anything too cheap. Old Hu, hurry up and dig it out!"

Hu Bayi retorted irritably, "Bullshit! What's the point of digging up a fart? It's worthless!"

The fat man, however, persisted, saying, "Whether it's valuable or not, we'll have to ask our Brother Ming."

Seeing this, Hu Ming also looked towards the pit where horses were buried, and saw a pair of horse hooves and a saddle. His eyes lit up, and he immediately jumped into the pit and took out the two items.

Upon seeing this, the fat man couldn't help but say, "Mingzi, what are you going to do with these dark things!"

Upon seeing this, Hu Ming smiled and said, "Nothing much, I just wanted to take it back and keep it as a keepsake." Knowing his younger brother well, Hu Bayi knew that this thing was probably a good treasure.

At this moment, Fatty Wang said to Hu Ming, "What's there to collect about those things? All the bottles and jars here are treasures. Let's hurry up and stuff as many as we can back with us."

Upon hearing this, Hu Ming and Hu Bayi looked over and indeed saw a lot of bottles and jars. Hu Bayi and Yingzi went over to see them.

Hu Ming quietly put the stirrups and other items into his system space, then went over to the fat man and the others to take a look, and found that most of them were made of pottery.

Hu Ming examined them one by one and found that out of the more than twenty jars, only two were porcelain. Upon seeing this, Hu Ming quietly stored them in his system space, fearing that the porcelain would be destroyed in the upcoming battle.

Seeing that everyone had finished collecting, Hu Ming walked around the coffin made of Phoebe zhennan wood and then said to Fatty and Hu Ba, "Fatty, Hu Ba, get the things ready to open the coffin."
