Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 159 Dongzi is Divided Up

At this moment, in order to conceal themselves, the three climbed up a large pillar, keeping a distance between each other.

The fat man looked in the direction of the voice and asked in a low voice.

The sound was intermittent, like a monster leisurely strolling around inside.

Although Hu Bayi and Fatty are both well-traveled and have seen all sorts of demons and monsters.

But under the moonlight, I still felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, Hu Ming slowly closed his eyes and listened intently.

This is the skill of identifying acupoints by listening to thunder. Now that Hu Ming's five senses are far beyond those of ordinary people, he has naturally learned this skill.

More than one? Hu Ming frowned slightly at this moment.

He knew what was inside, but as expected, it deviated from the original plot.

Judging from the sounds, there's more than one monster inside.

Sure enough, it was the right thing to play it safe during the day. Hu Ming didn't care much about the safety of Lei Xianming and his group, but in this unexpected situation, no one knew whether his brothers would get injured in the chaos.

Three whole "Sin-Eating Balu"? Hu Ming couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

Just then, footsteps and rapid breathing suddenly came from outside the temple.

It's Dongzi!
Hu Ming, Hu Bayi, and the fat man exchanged glances and fell silent.

Even the things inside the wall seemed to sense something and fell completely silent.

Half a minute later, Dongzi, panting heavily, arrived as expected.

He was carrying a bag, just big enough to hold the golden Buddha statue.

Dongzi sneaked into the temple. The bright moonlight shone in through several large holes in the roof, enough for Hu Ming and the other two to see Dongzi's movements clearly.

Dongzi rested for a while, calming his rapid breathing.

He first respectfully kowtowed several times to the Buddha statue, muttering incantations.

Hu Ming heard it all clearly; it was just the thieves' story.

"what……"

At this moment, the fat man couldn't help but burst out laughing. He quickly covered his mouth with one hand, his face turning bright red, and he cast an apologetic look at Hu Ming and Hu Bayi.

Fortunately, Hu Ming and the other two were lying on the pillar, so Dongzi couldn't see them at all.

But at midnight, a chilling laugh suddenly echoed through the desolate temple.

This was terrifying enough! By the moonlight, Hu Mingqing could clearly see that Dongzi was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and repeatedly kowtowed to the Buddha statue to apologize.

But in the end, greed triumphed over fear.

They insisted on carrying out that silver-eyed, golden Buddha statue.

Click
Just after Dongzi moved the Buddha statue away from its lotus pedestal, the sound of chains clicking suddenly echoed through the empty hall.

Upon closer inspection, a black chain could be seen connecting the Buddha statue to the lotus pedestal, but Dongzi searched for a long time without finding the keyhole.

In his haste, he actually grabbed the Buddha statue and tried to pull it by force.

The people present only heard a series of clicking sounds as the mechanism operated.

Behind that wall, the sounds of mechanisms operating could be heard simultaneously.

Here it comes! Hu Ming narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the wall.

He narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the wall, his intuition telling him that something dangerous was about to emerge from it.

Sure enough, just as Dongzi was staring blankly at the wall, a loud rumble suddenly rang out.

The wall suddenly collapsed, kicking up clouds of choking dust.

Hu Ming had excellent eyesight and could see through the smoke and dust to make out what was inside.

The wide-open black iron gate, and the three white, cat-faced monsters at the entrance, were none other than the three Sin-Eating Balu!
Before the dust settled, the three monsters roared in unison, their ferocious and greedy eyes fixed on Dongzi, and they pounced on him in an instant.

“Ahhh!!!”

Dongzi was just a petty thief who made a little money on a regular basis. The corpses he saw while following Lei Xianming were all the kind that lay quietly in coffins.

When have you ever seen such a ferocious monster?

He immediately let out a terrible scream, choked with fear, and fainted. Luckily, he wasn't scared to death.

"Gah?"

The three Sin Eaters circled around Dongzi, occasionally touching her with their pale arms.

These three Sin Eaters all have human bodies and strange cat heads.

However, unlike human bodies, they all crawl on all fours like cats.

Its body is covered in ominous white fur, and it holds a large brick in its hands in a human-like manner.

Seeing this, Fatty and Hu Bayi were also startled; this thing looked like it was not to be trifled with.

Of course, these three strange things were no match for Hu Ming.

Hu Bayi and Fatty frowned.

However, if there are only two, Hu Bayi and his companion are confident that they can hold off one while Hu Ming quickly takes care of the other, and there shouldn't be any major problems.

However, the three of them couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in their hearts and looked at Hu Ming.

But all he saw was Hu Ming's calm and composed expression, which put his mind at ease.

They knew that as long as Hu Ming was confident, they would be fine too.

"Uh...uh"

Just as the three were exchanging glances, Dongzi suddenly woke up and looked at the three cat-headed monsters surrounding him, screaming in terror.

When the three Sin Eaters saw that Dongzi had woken up again, a hint of annoyance appeared on their furry faces.

They immediately picked up the huge bricks in their hands and smashed them down hard on Dongzi's head.

This thing was incredibly powerful. Like a watermelon being smashed, Dongzi's head was immediately smashed into pieces, with red and gray liquid flowing all over the ground.

The three gluttonous Balu were not satisfied until they smashed Dongzi's head flat.

After rummaging through Dongzi's corpse and confirming that Dongzi was dead, the Sin Eater Baru grinned as if he were overjoyed. Then, the three monsters tore off Dongzi's mangled head, stripped off his clothes, opened their blood-red mouths, and began to feast on him.

This scene sent chills down Hu Bayi and Fatty's spines. The way this monster ate people was too cruel, just like a cat playing with a mouse.

However, Hu Ming remained completely unmoved.

He knew that this thing did not eat living people, but only fresh bodies. It was a vicious beast that the Samsara Sect kept as a "hell" to punish the most heinous criminals.

So, they cruelly smashed Dongzi to death before starting to eat.

However... animals are most relaxed when they are eating, it's time!
Hu Ming narrowed his eyes, quietly took out Yang Xueli's pistol from his spatial storage, aimed at one of the Sin Eaters, and decisively pulled the trigger.

"boom!"
