Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 20 Egg's Sorrow

When Hu Bayi saw Fatty taking Yingzi to blow up the hole, he couldn't help but ask Hu Ming, "Are you afraid that the big zombie will escape?"

Hu Ming nodded upon hearing this and said, "Yes, but I also want to destroy that Heavenly Treasure Dragon Fire Glazed Top."

Hu Bayi also said, "Indeed, if someone accidentally goes in, there is a real possibility of trouble."

Hu Ming removed the gauze and said to Hu Bayi, "Let's find a good place to bury them!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi nodded and used his feng shui skills to find an open space. The two of them picked up a crowbar and began digging a hole.

The two men had only been digging for a short while when they heard two explosions. They exchanged a glance and continued digging.

Fatty and Yingzi led their horses to Hu Ming and his companion. Seeing that the two were digging a grave, they joined in to help.

After everyone worked together, they finally buried the two little devils.

The fat man put his hands together and bowed: "My two little ancestors, some things are destined. You don't need to be too attached to them. What is destined will come, and what is not destined should not be a concern."

All the calculations and hardships are destined. You two little darlings, may you rest in peace.

Our resources are limited, but when we get back, we'll definitely burn lots of paper money for you so you can go to the Western Paradise soon.

"We're busy, this is all we can do. Greedy people aren't good kids." The fat man said, and as he was about to take out his lighter, he seemed to notice something and took it out instead.

Everyone immediately recognized it as one of the jade pendants. Hu Ming also reached into his pocket and found something there as well. He took it out and saw that it was a jade thumb ring.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi and Yingzi also rummaged through their pockets. Hu Bayi took out another piece that could form a pair with Fatty's jade pendant, while Yingzi took out a jade hairpin.

The group exchanged glances, and Hu Ming sighed, "Perhaps it's the two little darlings repaying us."

Hu Bayi also said, "Yes, good people are rewarded."

After a few sighs, the group bowed to the two little darlings again before riding away.

As Hu Ming was leaving, he seemed to hear the voices of two children.

"Thank you!"

"thank you all!"

He looked back at the grave mound, where two children seemed to be waving goodbye to him. Hu Ming unconsciously murmured, "Goodbye."

It was almost evening when the group arrived at the village and told the old Party Secretary about the Kwantung Army fortress. That night, as Hu Ming slept, he finally heard the system voice again, a sound he hadn't heard for over twenty minutes.

"Ding, the system has detected that the host has successfully raided a tomb for the first time. The system reward is: the system space has been expanded to ten cubic meters, and a Body Tempering Pill has been obtained and placed in the system space."

After hearing the system's voice, Hu Ming silently called out to the system in his mind, but the system ignored him.

Having no other option, Hu Ming put on his clothes and called out to the system from outside, but as before, there was no response.

He couldn't help but curse the system in his heart. Others like Zhang Qiling had such powerful Qilin bloodline, while his own Golden Dragon bloodline had no other functions besides strengthening his physique and promoting rapid wound healing.

Hu Ming often compared himself to the young man and realized how inferior he was. He thought his bloodline was not as good as the young man's, and his skills were probably not as good as the young man's either.

Hu Ming knew that the young man could take down the blood corpses single-handedly; if it were him, he would only be able to run away.

Hu Ming took out a Body Tempering Pill and swallowed it. After chewing it, he couldn't help but say, "Apple flavor, not bad!"

Then he suddenly found himself with a fever, followed by a sharp pain that spread throughout his body. Hu Ming knelt on the ground, panting heavily, his whole body covered in sweat.

He couldn't help but say, "This damn system only gives out inferior pills."

Fortunately, the pain was only momentary; otherwise, Hu Ming probably would have cried from the pain if it had lasted any longer.

Hu Ming got up and swung his fist, discovering that his physical condition was now twice as good as before.

He tried practicing Bajiquan.

After Hu Ming finished performing a set of boxing techniques, he felt more comfortable than ever before.

He suddenly realized that he might not be any worse than the younger brother.

Of course, he was just thinking about it; he didn't want to challenge the young man to a duel, for fear of being beaten to a pulp.

Hu Ming took out a cigarette and lit it. Then he looked at the bright moon in the sky. He had just compared himself with Xiao Ge and found that he was far from being Xiao Ge's match. He wondered when his low-level Golden Dragon bloodline would be upgraded to the intermediate level. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Meanwhile, in the capital...

While Hu Bayi and his group were digging for treasure in Niuxin Mountain these past few days, a man and a woman, two distinguished guests, also came to visit Da Jinya's group.

If Hu Ming were here, he would definitely recognize this woman as his future sister-in-law—Yang Xueli.
