Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 241 Six Figures
Hu Ming had absolutely no interest in the information above, since he already knew the more detailed and confidential details.

Moreover, it should be noted that the seven false coffins here are all used as traps; the real coffin of the tomb owner is hidden very deep.

In short, the contents of this tomb held absolutely no appeal for Hu Ming.

At this moment, Hu Ming had already come to the right side chamber alone.

In the southeast corner of the side chamber, there is a candle with a bright green flame.

On the stone wall next to the candle, there is a newly dug hole; judging from the shovel marks, it was professionally made.

There was also a backpack lying casually to one side, containing some odds and ends, as well as a sketch of this Warring States period tomb.

Seeing these things, Hu Ming chuckled nostalgically.

The tomb raiders!
Since the last three tomb raiders changed careers, there have been no more legitimate tomb raiders in the world.

The last three Tomb Raider Talismans were in the hands of Yang Xueli, Hu Bayi, and Fatty.

They had no intention of passing on their skills to others or giving away their tomb-raiding charms.

However, it must be said that judging from the traces here, this tomb raider was quite skilled.

At the very least, they still adhere to the rules left by the founding father of tomb raiders.

You should know that Hu Bayi and Fatty are both people who dare to rebel.

What were the rules set by our ancestors? Like, "Don't steal gold when the rooster crows and the lamp goes out," or "Work at night"?
The candle went out? Light it again!
Is it dawn? Let's discuss it with the patriarch and continue tomb raiding!
He, Hu Bayi, and Fatty have done this kind of thing countless times.

……

When Hu Ming returned to the main tomb chamber with the bag...

Wu Sansheng and the others were gathered around one of the coffins.

The stone coffin lid was half-open, and there were crowbar marks on it.

Inside the stone coffin lay two corpses.

The original owner of the stone coffin, a thousand-year-old corpse, lay quietly at the bottom, while above it lay a foreigner who had died a violent death.

Judging from their attire, they must be mercenaries.

However, both Hu Ming and Wu Sansheng understood that this person had arrived here half a month ago and was one of Qiu Dekao's men.

Over the years, Wu Sansheng has been moving between "him" and Qiu Dekao, occasionally revealing some irrelevant information to both of them.

The purpose was to leverage Qiu Dekao's influence abroad to restrain [his] power to some extent and gain a breathing space.

"Second Uncle, where have you been just now? Come and look here!"

"Those who came to the tomb half a month ago have indeed met with misfortune!"

Upon seeing Hu Ming, Wu Xie quickly spoke.

Damn, how should I put it? No wonder he's Master Gou Wu's grandson; he has the blood of a strongman flowing in his veins.
When Wu Xie saw a dead body for the first time, instead of feeling disgusted or panicked, he felt a faint sense of excitement.
"I went to check out the side room and found something interesting, look!"

Hu Ming chuckled and tossed the package at everyone's feet.

"Friendly reminder: there is a hole in the side chamber, and there is a candle lit in the southeast corner."

"Most importantly, the flame of that candle is a ghostly green." Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Hu Ming grinned.

"A tomb robber's hole? A candle in the southeast corner, or perhaps a ghostly green flame!?"

Wu Sansheng and Panzi were both seasoned veterans, so they naturally understood what Hu Ming meant by what he said.

He instinctively gripped the weapon in his hand tighter.

"...A tomb raider? Your friend gave away the last three tomb raiding talismans?"

"Or perhaps, these uninvited guests are them?" the young man asked softly, his eyes narrowing.

He had investigated and found that the last three Tomb Raider Talismans had ended up in the hands of Hu Ming's three friends.

"No, apart from me, the other three don't do this kind of work much anymore."

Hu Ming shook his head.

Although this person was also fat, and despite never having met him, Hu Ming could confidently say that this fat man was not the same fat man he knew.

Who is Wang Kaixuan? He's a fat man with a bandit-like air, fearless, greedy, and obsessed with money!
Lighting candles in the southeast corner? Digging a tunnel? No way!
However, this fat man is definitely related to Wang Kaixuan, after all, there are few people in this world who know the methods of tomb raiders.

"Wait, Third Uncle, Second Uncle, and Zhang Qiling, we'll talk about that later. I have a question right now..."

"...There are five of us, right? But...why are there six shadows over there?"

Just then, Wu Xie swallowed hard, pointed at several shadows cast by the light on the opposite wall, and grimaced.

One, two, six...

Everyone turned around and looked, and sure enough, there were six shadows on the wall!
Not far from the five figures, a solitary figure floated silently.

In particular, the head of the shadow was enormous, much wider than its shoulders.

"A ghost!" Wu Xie immediately felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively shouted out.

Upon closer inspection, in the darkness, the "thing" had a huge, round head.

Seeing this scene suddenly in such a dimly lit environment is indeed a bit frightening.

Wu Xie shakily shone the searchlight and saw the monster's true form.

It's like someone putting a big earthenware pot over their head, huh?
Damn it!
Upon seeing the true nature of this thing, Wu Xie's face immediately darkened.

"Damn it! This bastard is the imposter tomb raider who dug a hole in the side room to get in, isn't he?"

"You damned brat, how dare you scare your third grandfather like that!"

Wu Sansheng immediately grinned maliciously, snatched the short-barreled shotgun from Panzi's hand, and couldn't help but want to shoot this bastard dead.

It was indeed a person, with a large earthenware pot on their head, a flashlight in their hand, and striking an Egyptian pose.

Two holes were punched in the earthenware pot, and two thief's eyes peered out through the holes, which was extremely despicable.

The six people stared at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward...
