Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 179 Danger is coming
Having determined the location, they carefully and precisely pried open the well cover where it met the frozen soil.

"Alright, Mingzi, you can trust Fatty to handle things!"

"This crystal coffin lid looks very valuable, I will be extra careful."

"Such a treasure, if we bring it back to Beijing, we could easily exchange it for a small villa, right?"

The moment the topic of "raising a coffin to make a fortune" came up, the fat man would perk up as if all the day's fatigue had vanished.

"No... never mind, just be careful not to break it."

Hu Ming opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't be bothered to explain.

This thing is definitely a bit weird.

But cursing is something that sounds rather absurd when it's said aloud.

Kaka...

With three people working together, they carefully moved the well cover away.

The "glacial crystal corpse" buried inside was revealed.

It was a female corpse that was completely transparent, with silver light shimmering beneath her skin.

Not only the internal organs, but even the bones were a deep red color, like agate. It didn't look like a corpse at all.

Instead, it resembles a masterpiece of art, exquisitely crafted from crystal, agate, and jade.

This thing drew gasps of amazement from everyone who saw it.

Chu Yi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "This must be a blessing from the Buddha!"
Hearing this, Hu Ming chuckled inwardly, realizing that the Nine-Story Demon Tower was inextricably linked to the Demon Kingdom.

Previously, it was said that the Demon Kingdom was extremely wicked, and digging up the nine-story demon tower was a great act of merit.

So now they're saying the things buried in the Nine-Story Demon Tower were a gift from Buddha?
However, Hu Ming didn't say much, after all, the influence of Tantric Buddhism in the Western Frontier was too great.

The residents here have long been accustomed to attributing all incomprehensible things to Buddha and all sorts of demons and monsters.

Of course, a good thing is that Buddha grants mercy, and a bad thing is that demons cause trouble.

This is typical of religions.

"Get out of the way!! Everyone get out of the way, this glacial crystal corpse is mine!!"

At this moment, Lei Xiangming, who had been anxiously waiting for this moment, pushed Hu Bayi aside and began to frantically examine the transparent crystal corpse, caressing and scrutinizing it.

Caught off guard, Hu Bayi was pushed and stumbled, his brow furrowing.

Yang Xueli, who was standing nearby, quickly helped him up.

"Mingzi, Shirley, Fatty, have you noticed that Lei Xianming's mental state is a bit off?"

The four huddled together, and Hu Bayi couldn't help but ask, "...After all that ups and downs, and with almost everyone around you dead, you've probably lost your mind, right?"

"After all, he was a wealthy businessman before, and although he had worked on ships in Southeast Asia, this situation... is probably still a bit too much for him!"

Yang Xueli shook her head and sighed softly.

However, Yang Xueli's gaze was mostly focused on Ah Xiang, who stood timidly to the side, not daring to approach her godfather.

Yang Xueli didn't care about Lei Xianming's condition; she just felt that the girl was somewhat unworthy of her.

"Ah Xiang? That girl is not that simple, not that fragile."

Following Yang Xueli's gaze, Hu Bayi and his two companions instantly understood.

Hu Ming shook his head.

From the very beginning, Yang Xueli had a strong liking for this young girl.

But Hu Ming knew that this girl was no ordinary person.

……

……

Hu Bayi and Fatty were eager to get a closer look at this once-in-a-millennium glacial crystal corpse.

However, given Lei Xianming's somewhat deranged state, they couldn't get too close.

After all, it was agreed beforehand that Lei Xianming would only take this rare crystal corpse as his spoils, and nothing else.

Although they raided tombs and sold funerary objects, they were good people who kept their promises!
With a sigh of regret, I plopped down near the crystal cover of the statue, wanting to get a good look at this second-best treasure.

"Be careful, something's wrong!"

"Lei Xianming! Get out of there! That crystal corpse is dangerous!"

Just then, seeing Lei Xiangming excitedly hugging the crystal corpse and refusing to let go, Hu Ming felt a sudden, frantic warning in his heart.

He knew danger was approaching.

At the same time, strange noises suddenly came from the layer above.

You should know... Hu Ming and his group were all gathered on this floor, and there were only nineteen corpses on it!
Putting aside the above, let's talk about this glacial crystal corpse.

Lei Xiangming, that idiot, actually picked up the female corpse in one go, as if afraid that someone would take this chance to turn his life around from him.

Hu Ming understands him, but that doesn't mean Hu Ming can let him do whatever he wants.

Holding a crystal corpse? It's like they're asking for a quick death.

Even in death, one might implicate others!
