Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 171

"Yawei is a bastard?"

Yang Xueli and Hu Bayi were both taken aback.

This was the first time Yang Xueli had ever heard of such a title.

She stood there dumbfounded for a moment, unable to react.

Hu Bayi was momentarily stunned, unable to process what was happening.

Yang Xueli was initially annoyed, but upon further reflection, she realized that Hu Ming was indeed right.

Of course, not the part that denigrates Yahweh, but the first half.

For a moment, she felt ashamed of her words and looked at Hu Ming with gratitude in her eyes.

She realized that it was indeed inappropriate to say such things in front of Chu Yi.

Fortunately, I didn't hear that sentence when I was in the first year of junior high school.

Hu Bayi then realized what was happening and patted Yang Xueli on the shoulder to show that it was okay.

“Brother Duji is right, this is the Jade Peak Buddha Light, and those who see it will have good fortune.”

Chu Yi said excitedly.

As she spoke, Chu Yi couldn't help but sigh regretfully, "But I probably won't have the chance to go to southern Yunnan to pay homage, after all, the journey is too far, and the timing is uncertain..."

At this time, there was still some time before dawn.

Hu Ming and the others took this opportunity to rest for a while.

After all, they'd been up for a whole day and night; even the toughest person would be exhausted.

The environment here is harsh, and if people don't get enough rest, an accident could take their lives. Fortunately, the group wasn't in a hurry.

I rested here for a full day and night, and recharged my energy.

The fatigue of the past few days was completely relieved, and I was able to continue on my way.

Not far from Zanggugou is Shenluogou Glacier, a unique low-altitude ancient glacier in the world, with its lowest point only 2,800 meters above sea level.

It is even lower than Zanggugou.

However, the group encountered a new problem here.

The glacier cuts between two large snow-capped mountains and extends for several kilometers into the primeval forest below, where dense primeval forests grow.

There are no roads in this place at all; even yaks cannot go down the glacier, and they have to cross a large ice ridge.

Helpless, the group retreated a short distance and set up camp in a place rich in water and grass, where they settled the yaks.

Then he left the porters who accompanied him to look after the place.

The rest of the people continued onward, carrying heavy loads of supplies, just in case.
“First day of the lunar month, this trip is very dangerous. You could lose your life at any moment. There’s no need for you to get involved with us.”

At the very front of the group, Hu Ming and Chu Yi led the way. Halfway there, Hu Ming couldn't help but offer some words of comfort.

Before setting off, Hu Ming and Hu Bayi had tried to dissuade him many times, but Chu Yi was determined to go together.

Hu Ming knew that in the original novel, Chu Yi, this tough guy, did indeed die.

“Brother Duji, you don’t need to say anything. I know this trip is very dangerous.”

“But we men of the grasslands don’t have the habit of watching our brothers risk their lives alone. Besides, digging up the demon tower in the demon kingdom is a way to accumulate merit.”

“If I succeed, I won’t need to send my third son to a temple to become a lama and accumulate merit.”

Chu Yi laughed heartily and picked up the wine jug to start chugging.

"Alright then!" Seeing this, Hu Ming shook his head and smiled wryly.

My mind was very firm in the first year of junior high school, and I couldn't be easily swayed.

Especially in the western Xinjiang region, people there pay particular attention to accumulating merit.

Not to mention that the first year of junior high school can be considered a novice believer.

The gateway to Shenluogou Glacier is what locals commonly call the "Big Ice Cliff".

Going down is very simple; the ice walls are extremely steep. Just grab the rope and slide down like you're on a slide.

I knew this place very well in my first year of junior high school, having passed through it many times.

He led the group to a relatively gentle ice slope.

"Don't be fooled by how flat the ice slopes look; they actually contain many fragile crevasses and ice caves."

“If a person or animal were to accidentally step on it, they would be dead. However, the path I chose was one that I discovered when I went into the mountains with the lama to collect herbs, so it is relatively safe.”

As he spoke, Chu Yi glanced at the fat man with a subtle expression.

"However... it might not be the case for you, Fatty, after all, with your weight... cough cough!!"

Fatty, during the time he returned from Yunnan.

Another round of binge eating and drinking ensued, and the tiny bit of weight I'd managed to lose was gone in the blink of an eye...

Being called out by name at this moment made him very sad.

"Don't worry, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lao Hu and I will take good care of Fatty."

Hu Ming patted the fat man on the shoulder and said with a laugh.

In fact, Lei Xianming's weight is not light either.

However, Chu Yi also disliked this person; they were not on the same wavelength at all, so he was too lazy to remind him further.

Lei Xianming was secretly annoyed, but he couldn't refute it.

His henchmen and bodyguards are gone, so he has little say here.

All he hopes for now is to obtain the Glacier Crystal Corpse smoothly and alleviate the economic crisis in his hometown of Hong Kong Province.

Starting with the first-year students who were most familiar with the area, Hu Ming and the others followed, sliding down in turn.

We arrived at Shenluogou below without any surprises or dangers.

"Put the safety on all your guns."

"Although this is not an avalanche danger zone, it is surrounded by snow-capped mountains on both sides. If there is too much noise, it could be very dangerous. If an avalanche comes, none of us will be able to escape."

Hu Ming looked around and saw that everything was covered in silver. Just to be on the safe side, he still gave everyone some instructions.

In the snow-capped mountains, Hu Ming wasn't afraid of any ferocious beasts or vengeful spirits, or any extreme weather; what he feared was triggering an avalanche.

Faced with the immense power of nature, human strength is truly insignificant.

Along the way, Chu Yi couldn't help but tell everyone some legends about Shenluogou.

Of course, none of them took it seriously; they just listened to it as a myth.

After all, what was said on the first day of the lunar month were Buddhist legends, which were meant to praise the greatness of the Buddha.

Shenluogou is not long, and before long, the group arrived at an icefall.

Hu Ming squinted at the spectacular scene, knowing that they were about to reach their destination...
