Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 287 Missing!

Hu Ming watched with great interest the changes in Yin Nanfeng's expression.

Before Yin Nanfeng could become enraged, Hu Mingming wisely corrected his attitude.

With a light kick, he sent the pile of crossbow bolts at his feet into his hand, gesturing for Yin Nanfeng to see.

Those crossbow bolts were specially made.

Although Hu Ming couldn't figure out what Wang Zanghai was thinking, placing such a ridiculously whimsical mechanism in his own tomb passage.

However, there is no doubt that these lotus-shaped arrowheads cannot kill people.

Despite both Wu Xie and Fatty being like hedgehogs, they lay on the ground without uttering a sound.

But they were just terrified and didn't react for a moment; their minds went blank.

"Keep your voice down, don't let them notice. Before they realize what's happening, let's play the role of professional disappearing agents today!"

Hu Ming covered Yin Nanfeng's mouth with one hand, who was about to complain, and whispered in her ear.

Visibly, a blush appeared on Yin Nanfeng's mature and alluring face.

She didn't even notice what Hu Ming had said; she just nodded instinctively.

For most women, their earlobes are an exceptionally sensitive area.

Hu Ming's lips curled up, revealing a slight smile.

This girl, despite her mature and beautiful appearance that seems to have everything under control, is still just a woman at heart.

"Oh, I almost forgot, I also forgot that this item needs to be returned to its rightful owner..."

Just as he took a step, Hu Ming suddenly remembered something.

He slapped his forehead and pulled two precious swords from his backpack.

Without even looking, he casually tossed one of them to Baldy Zhang, who was standing far away.

Although Hu Ming cannot be described as a devout swordsman who "has nothing but his sword."

However, he was still a formidable swordsman, having spent every day with his treasured sword and becoming intimately familiar with every inch of it.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to have mistaken the knife for the one he was looking for.

Zhang the Bald took the black knife casually, his eyes flickering, but in the end he said nothing, only nodding in acknowledgment.

He could tell that Hu Ming was about to start acting alone.

Although he had some doubts about Hu Ming's true purpose, given his personality, he was not the type to pry into things.

This time, however, he had no intention of disappearing.

"They're gone!"

Silently mouthing the words to Xiao Ge, Hu Ming decisively led Yin Nanfeng away before Wu Xie and Fatty could recover.

Hu Ming moved, his body embracing Yin Nanfeng's slender yet exceptionally supple and powerful waist.

Despite having a large, living person in his arms, it did not affect Hu Ming's movements in any way.

After all, Yin Nanfeng weighs less than 100 pounds at most, which is lighter than the knife he carries.

With light taps of their feet, barely making a sound, they slipped away from Wu Xie and Fatty's sight, their figures disappearing like smoke.

In the blink of an eye, the two had crossed the narrow passage and arrived at a white jade door at the end.

It was through the door that the little white-furred creature that had escaped from the large blue-and-white porcelain jar with dragon and cloud motifs went through.

Hu Ming did not need a precise diagram of the underground palace to guide him forward.

All he needed were his five senses—powerful and almost overpowered ones. As long as the thought of going to Wang Zanghai's tomb arose in his mind, he could simulate the basic structure of the underwater tomb in his mind through the sounds he had just heard, and through his special senses, his premonition pointed Hu Ming in the right direction.

After seeing Hu Ming and the other man disappear, Zhang the Bald pondered for a moment, then slowly walked to Wu Xie and Fatty, who were still lying dead.

The events that just happened would be quite lengthy to describe, but in reality, it only lasted a few seconds.

He gently kicked the two of them, waking them from their dazed state.

It's worth mentioning that during that volley of arrows, Wu Xie was unlucky enough to be used as a shield by that woman, A Ning.

Therefore, the density of crossbow bolts on his body was three times higher than that on the fat man.

After regaining consciousness, Wu Xie and Fatty subconsciously cursed under their breath.

"grass!"

The sheer number of crossbow bolts covering their bodies was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

"Damn it, we're all like this, and we're still alive?"

"I knew Ah Ning was no good; she was deliberately trying to harm us!"

"And you, Zhang Baldy, you're with A Ning's gang, aren't you? You dare show your face in our sight? Do you really think Fatty wouldn't dare to kill someone?"

Ignoring his own condition, the fat man stood up shakily, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

He knew perfectly well that Baldy Zhang was in cahoots with A-Ning!
Even Wu Xie's gaze towards Zhang the Bald changed.

"Wait, Fatty, look at that knife of his, haven't we seen it somewhere before?"

Suddenly, Wu Xie saw the black knife in Zhang Tuzi's hand, his expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"It's me, Zhang Qiling. I think you already know my name from your third uncle, right?"

"Zhang the Bald. Oh, it's Brother Zhang," Brother Zhang glanced at the two of them indifferently and said softly.

at the same time.

The young man touched behind his ear with one hand, rubbed it for a while, and then tore the face off.

It was an extremely well-made human skin mask.

Behind the mask was the young man's familiar gaunt face.

"Huh? Silent One?" Wu Xie and Fatty were completely stunned. What was this? A magical transformation?

"Wait, where's Uncle Ming? Where have he and Yin Nanfeng gone?"

Suddenly, Wu Xie looked around and asked anxiously.

Although he had only just entered the ancient tomb, he was still taught a profound lesson.

It concerns the human heart, and also the eeriness of the underwater tomb.

Strange mechanisms, strange crossbow bolts.

"Him? I don't know. My attention was completely on Aning, and when I came to my senses, they were gone."
"They're probably...missing?"

The young man's gaze remained unchanged, and his tone of voice remained indifferent as always.

"Missing???"

Subconsciously, Wu Xie let out a strange cry.

This word sounds so familiar...

In an instant, Wu Xie's gaze towards Xiao Ge changed.
