Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 216 (Two Hundred and One Fourteenth Chapter) A Way Out

Tsk~~
The moment the blood-stained seal was imprinted on Ah Xiang's forehead, wisps of black smoke began to rise.

At the same time, after Ah Xiang subconsciously swallowed the precious blood, her expression became increasingly ferocious, and her voice became increasingly shrill.

Clearly, the impurities inside Ah Xiang's body are being suppressed by the Precious Blood Seal.

In the blink of an eye, Ah Xiang was almost completely enveloped by the black smoke emanating from between her eyebrows and from her mouth.

They've turned this place into a hell on earth, it's like a living hell.

It's fortunate that these things can only be possessed by people with ghost eyes, otherwise, apart from Hu Ming, everyone else would have suffered.

After a long while, Ah Xiang's expression softened, and her shrill and eerie screams disappeared.

The darkness in his eyes slowly faded, revealing his clear black and white pupils.

Clearly, everything has been settled.

Before Ah Xiang could say anything, she rolled her eyes and promptly fainted.

"..."

"It feels like this girl is inherently incompatible with Evil Luo Haicheng; she's been fainting almost the entire way..."

Hu Ming scratched his head and said with a dark expression.

"No... Akiko, it's just that you knocked me unconscious both times..."

“I saw it clearly just now. Ah Xiang regained consciousness and tried to say something, but then she just passed out. It was probably because of that knife you just used…”

Hu Bayi shifted his gaze from the new and old hand slash marks on both sides of Ah Xiang's neck.

To be honest, Hu Ming really went all out.

Ah Xiang was a pretty young woman, but Jiang Na showed her no mercy whatsoever.

Those two finishing blows were utterly merciless.

Hu Ming rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to those words.

He, Hu Ming, is a man who seems to have no feelings.

Hu Ming isn't interested in women!
Of course, Hu Ming dared not say this out loud. After all, Hu Bayi was right in front of him. If he went back and said it to his parents, he would be nagged to death by them!
Hu Ming shifted his gaze to the black wall beside him.

Those visible resentments just now clearly came from the wall.

Upon closer inspection, some pictorial symbols and words were carved on the black wall.

Upon closer inspection, and through a combination of guesswork and deduction, one can roughly discern some of the meaning above.

These marks were carved here by the incomplete and desperate spirit mothers of past generations.

The above roughly means the cruel origin of the Demon Mother and the tragic end of the incomplete Demon Mother.

The largest portion of the text is devoted to the curses of the crippled Ghost Mother, who died tragically here, on the Boundless Demon Eye, the Ghost Cave, the Snake God, and even the Demon Kingdom.

Over the years, countless innocent girls have become food for the Pure Vision Agama in despair here.

No wonder Hu Ming reacted so strongly when he appeared here with his dragon eyes.

"In the end, they were just a group of pitiful people. They were not at fault; they were merely victims of an ancient religion."

Yang Xueli gave a bitter smile and sighed softly.

As she spoke, Yang Xueli clasped her hands together in front of her chest, interlaced her fingers, closed her eyes, and silently recited the eulogy.

Although religions differ, mourning for the dead transcends national and religious boundaries.

"No... something's wrong with this wall!"

Suddenly, Hu Ming frowned and stared at the very center of the black wall. His intuition told him that something else existed behind that wall!
"Something's not right? Hu Ming, what do you mean?"

Yang Xueli was stunned. After reading the final eulogy, she subconsciously asked a question.

"I don't know, but something feels off here. Let me check."

Hu Ming has always firmly believed in intuition.
Hu Ming closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his blood was boiling, and he once again had a pair of dragon eyes.

Try to communicate with the black giant stone statue.

At this moment, just like snow melting under the scorching sun, the black wall in front of us began to slowly melt away.

It's like a painting erased by an eraser, or as if this black wall never existed in the first place.

Within three to five seconds, the very center of the enormous black wall completely disappeared.

"There was definitely a problem..."

Hu Ming's lips twitched.

The black boulder appears to exist against the mountain.

After Hu Ming used the power of his Dragon Eye to melt away part of it, the gray-black rock layer was revealed.

The image depicts an open eye.

It was red, as if it had been etched with blood.

Hu Ming gently tapped on the rock strata.

bang~
A hollow and muffled sound came from behind.

The group exchanged glances, their faces beaming with undisguised delight.

They are all seasoned veterans.

He knew perfectly well what this echo meant: behind the gray-black rock layers, there was a secret passage!
"Step back!"

Hu Ming grinned, took a few steps back, took a running start, and suddenly stopped in front of the rock strata. Using his left leg as a pivot, he rotated his right leg 360 degrees in mid-air.

boom!!!
With a powerful kick, he slammed his foot into the rock wall, creating a large hole in the rock stratum.

In an instant, smoke and dust filled the air, and gravel flew everywhere!
Fortunately, everyone was still wearing their gas masks and were far enough away that they weren't accidentally injured.

After the smoke and dust cleared, the searchlights were shone on the area.

Behind the broken rock strata, there was a square secret passage built by man!
Even more faintly, the sound of underground water flowing could be heard coming from the depths of the secret passage.

"Born facing north, born upon encountering water..."

"Indeed, the truly great people in this world are hidden among the common folk!"

Hu Bayi's face grew increasingly joyful.

Before he arrived, he met a master in the suburbs of Beijing, who was a descendant of Zhang Sanlianzi.

The wise man's advice for his journey was: be born facing north, and be born when you encounter water.

At this moment, this place is located in the northwest of the sacrificial space, and the sound of flowing water deep in the secret passage further confirms the prophecy.

"Do you think everyone is like Boss Chen, swindling and cheating on the street?"

"I've said it before, haven't I? The I Ching and the Eight Trigrams, the way of divination, have existed from ancient times to the present day, so there must be a reason for it, not to mention the descendants of Zhang Sanlianzi."

Hu Ming neither confirmed nor denied this.
