Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 190 The King of Fish Extermination

The fish king paused, and in the next instant, driven mad by the pain, it thrashed wildly through the water.

Hu Ming used a rope to tie the knife handle and retreated quickly, but his expression remained calm. His hands were bulging with muscles, and after a few seconds he gripped the rope again and moved himself step by step.

A few minutes later, Hu Ming, staring at the turbulent water, climbed up the rope onto the fish king's body.

He firmly planted his feet to steady himself, and a steel knife appeared out of thin air in his empty hands.

Aiming at the Fish King's head, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and he swiftly plunged the steel blade into it.

The hard fish scales could not stop Hu Ming from wielding the steel knife with force, and large amounts of blood splattered everywhere.

Then he exerted his strength and pulled out the dragon-patterned cloud-shaped blade with a horizontal yank.

Then they ripped a huge gash into the king of fish's head.

Red, grayish-white, and all sorts of things gushed out of the wound.

Visibly, the fish king's movements gradually slowed down and stiffened.

From Hu Ming's perspective, the luster in the Fish King's eyes gradually dimmed.

Before long, it turned completely gray, and its huge form stopped in place and slowly floated up.

Hu Ming dared not delay, and quickly drew his knife, flipping and maneuvering to the belly of the fish king.

He raised the scalpel and began the dissection.

Hu Ming's intuition told him that something else was rapidly approaching from the dark lake.

The sword flashed across the mountains, and the flowing water posed no obstacle to Hu Ming.

Before long, Hu Ming cut open the huge fish belly, closed his eyes, and focused all his attention on his intuition.

Guided by intuition, I groped around inside the fish's belly.

Ten seconds later, Hu Ming's hands touched two beads the size of longan.

I got it! I was overjoyed.

Ignoring the bloodstains before him, Hu Ming suddenly opened his eyes and carefully examined the two sparkling beads in his hand, which looked as if they were made of ice crystal.

Upon closer inspection, these were indeed the two eyeballs of the iceberg crystal corpse!
These are two very important eyeballs that were deliberately removed and fed to the fish.

Hu Ming put the dragon-patterned cloud-shaped blade and the two eyeballs into his personal space, then glanced back at the deep lake bottom.

Without even turning its head, it paddled its way up to the surface...

Having obtained everything, Hu Ming had no intention of engaging in a battle in the water with the Whitebeard Fish King's mortal enemy—the ferocious Striped Dragon.

……

……

"call…"

After surfacing, Hu Ming removed his breathing apparatus and diving mask!
Fighting underwater is not the same as fighting on land. Most people can only use 30% of their skills in the water.

But Hu Ming is different; there's no difference between him in the water and on land!

Looking behind him, without daring to delay, Hu Ming quickly mustered his strength and swam towards Yang Xueli and the others.

Those people were looking in Hu Ming's direction with worry!
Before long, Hu Ming reached the shore. Looking back, two striped dragons, roughly the same size as the Fish King, suddenly surfaced.

It lunged fiercely at the corpse of the Whitebeard Fish King.

This thing is really ferocious! In just a few minutes, the king fish was eaten up by more than half.

After taking a few more glances, the fish king's enormous body was actually gnawed down to its bones.

Not only that, but thousands of white-bearded fish in the lake also suffered.

It wasn't to fill my stomach.

In just half an hour, the vast wind-eroded lake was stained blood red, merely to kill off the white-bearded fish.

The overwhelming stench of blood was enough to make one want to vomit.

The dry rations that Hu Ming and the others were eating suddenly didn't taste good anymore.

"This place is so eerie. What could possibly motivate those two striped dragons to do something like this?"

"Not for hunting, nor for fighting for territory, but simply for the sake of killing?"

"That's a bit unbelievable."

The naan bread in Chu Yi's hand fell to the ground without him even realizing it. He just stared blankly at the scarlet lake water, muttering in astonishment.

Why? Of course, it's for those eyes of the glacial crystal corpse!
That thing is of great importance.

The Demon Kingdom gradually weakened due to changes in the natural environment and was eventually destroyed by the Three Kingdoms led by the King of the Enemy-Controlling Pearl.

But before that, the people of the Demon Kingdom weren't idle either.

The fervent believers had long ago hidden their faith-related altars and ritual objects in these mountains and waters.

The history of the Demon Kingdom records instances of controlling beast slaves through special herbs and methods.

The Striped Dragon and the White-bearded Fish King are considered alternative guardians.

Hu Ming watched this cruel scene, his eyes flashing.

Was it because it sensed the disappearance of the sacrificial artifact's aura that it went berserk and devoured all the white-bearded fish in the Wind-Eroded Lake?
Hu Ming thought of the two eyeballs lying quietly in his personal space and was secretly startled.

In the Demon Kingdom, there is also the concept of the Samsara Sect.

These eyes are the seventh type of eyes recorded in the Buddhist scriptures of the Demon Kingdom, capable of communicating with the imaginary space hidden in the Ghost Cave!
"Imaginary space... the burial of the serpent god's bones... do these mythical things really exist?"

Hu Ming gave a bitter smile and muttered to himself.

However, before Hu Ming obtained the Golden Dragon Bloodline, he thought that the so-called imaginary space was just Yang Xueli's conjecture about the Ghost Cave.

The so-called snake god is merely an object of worship derived from the unique culture and religion of the Demon Kingdom.

However, after obtaining the Golden Dragon bloodline, Hu Ming had some doubts about it.

At the same time, in Hu Ming's eyes, blood vessels, almost imperceptible, gradually spread from his pupils, forming a strange red circle around his black pupils, while his pupils slowly turned from black to gold!
However, in the blink of an eye, the red circle and the golden eyes disappeared, just like a flash of blood-gold light!
Without Hu Ming noticing, for a moment his pupils seemed to be stretched by some mysterious force.

It transformed into a pair of long, narrow, and eerie golden dragon eyes!

Hu Ming touched his eyes, thinking that if the Snake God's eyes had so many functions, he believed that his Golden Dragon Eyes were no less powerful than the Snake God's Demon Eyes!
