Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 197

Water is usually incredibly gentle.

However, when the magnitude reaches a certain level, when the flow rate reaches a certain level, it will instantly transform into the most terrifying natural disaster in the world.

Take floods, for example.

For example, the Great Flood that destroyed the world, as recorded in the Yahweh Bible, which Yang Shirley believes in.

Of course, the current situation is far from being a flood; it doesn't even qualify as a flood.

But the volume of water in this wind-eroded lake is far more than ten million tons.
The moment the giant stone sphere was kicked open, a massive flow of water spiraled wildly back up the passage.

This was the outcome everyone had anticipated. They knew this behavior was dangerous; one wrong move and they could be killed, torn to pieces by the raging vortex of water.

However, they had no choice; this was the only way to enter Evil Luo Sea City.

Almost the instant the stone ball left its original position, almost the instant the water flowed backward.

Everyone, including Hu Ming, was swept away by the current, losing control of their bodies and being passively swept over.

In the raging torrent, it wasn't long before everyone lost consciousness.

Even Hu Ming, under the immense power of nature, could only try his best to maintain his balance.

In the chaos, Hu Bayi grabbed Yang Xueli and held her tightly to prevent them from being separated by the backflow of water.

Seeing this, Hu Ming also moved closer to Hu Bayi.

"Ugh~~"

"Cough cough!!! This extreme 'rafting' trip was fucking awesome!"

Hu Ming's physical fitness is undoubtedly excellent.

He awoke quickly, lying helplessly on the unknown gray-white rocky ground, instinctively surveying his surroundings.

Yeah! It's very dark!
After all, it's an underwater space; it hasn't received sunlight for two thousand years. How could it be so luxuriously bright as day?
Making trouble!
Fortunately, his cousin Hu Bayi was unharmed, while his prospective cousin-in-law Yang Xueli lay peacefully in Hu Ming's arms.

However, due to their physical condition, they haven't woken up yet.

Take off your diving mask and throw away the uncomfortable oxygen tank—it's useless now, the oxygen is long gone.

"Cough cough!!"

"Akiko, are we still alive?"

At this moment, Hu Bayi suddenly scratched his slightly dizzy head, and Yang Xueli, who was next to him, was also disturbed by Hu Bayi's movement. She slowly woke up and weakly lay in Hu Bayi's arms.

They would never have taken such a risky action if they hadn't been left with no other choice.

"Ah. But this environment is a success!" Yang Xueli smiled with satisfaction.

"No, no, no, we're all dead. This is the eighteenth level of hell. After all, we were tomb raiders, doing all sorts of heinous things like digging up people's ancestral graves."

"The King of Hell is coming to punish us soon. Your sovereign Yahweh has no jurisdiction over the East. What, are you afraid?"

Hu Bayi grinned, in a pretty good mood; at least he was still in the mood to joke.

"Pah! You're just spouting nonsense all day long!" Yang Xueli rolled her eyes at Hu Bayi.

This guy, sometimes he does something really unserious, which is quite both funny and exasperating.

"That's enough, you two! We don't even know Fatty, Ah Xiang, and Chu Yi yet!" Hu Ming said to the couple irritably after glancing around.

"They were all swept away by the flood, but don't worry, Fatty and the others are tough, they won't die. As for Ah Xiang..."

"Look, isn't this it?"

As he spoke, Hu Ming pointed to the right and said, "That girl, Ah Xiang, is quite clever."

Knowing her own frail health, she had long ago clung tightly to Hu Ming's leg.
Truly impressive thighs.

This girl wasn't swept away by the current; otherwise, given her build, things might have been very different.

"Phew, that's great, everything's alright."

Seeing this, Yang Xueli and Hu Bayi both breathed a sigh of relief, their worries somewhat eased.

boom!
Hu Ming fired a flare straight out.

This is an underground space. The top rock layer is not high, it looks only about ten meters high, or about three or four stories high.

This is also why the group didn't die on the spot; they were surrounded by water, and this place was similar to an island in the middle of a lake.

As for their location, heaven knows where the current carried them. In any case, as far as the eye could see, there was no large stone sphere, nor any gap in the top level where the water was flowing continuously.

In short, it definitely didn't fall vertically.

Not far ahead, there was a raised area that looked like a volcano crater, also made up of grayish-white rock layers.

While Hu Ming, Hu Bayi, and Yang Xueli were carefully observing their surroundings, they were also waiting for Fatty and his group to arrive when they saw the flare.
"Sigh~~"

Suddenly, a roar of a ferocious beast reached my ears.

Hu Ming was startled and quickly turned around to look. He saw that a grayish-white rock layer on his right had suddenly changed and started to move.

That wasn't a rock formation, but a large lizard with skin the exact same color as the rock!
"No wonder we didn't sense any danger or any creatures approaching. Were they already lying there while we were unconscious...?"

Hu Ming suddenly realized.

I knew it! How could intuition possibly fail?
As he spoke, Hu Ming's movements became incredibly fast. He drew his dragon-patterned sword with a backhand and slashed out with a fierce strike.

Because that thing's target was Ah Xiang, who had not yet awakened!
This large lizard is probably the same lizard that bit off Ah Xiang's hand in the original story.

puff~
The moment the giant lizard bit at Ah Xiang's hand, the Dragon Pattern Cloud Blade had already severed its dog head.

Blood splattered everywhere.

A few drops of hot blood splattered onto Ah Xiang's face, and this action startled the girl awake.

"Sister Yang, Brother Hu, Brother Hu Ming..."

"ah!!"

Ah Xiang slowly woke up, and before the flare could fall, the first thing she saw was the headless mutilated body beside her, and she instinctively screamed.

Hu Ming frowned slightly at the scream.

Hu Bayi, standing to the side, could only shake his head at his cousin's actions and shrug at Yang Xueli.
