Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 318 Hu Ming and the young man's amazing skills!

Looking down from the ice well, there is a vast, gray space below.

The situation below is exactly as Hu Ming described.

The thick ice dome resembles an inverted bowl resting on a cliff face.

Countless wooden beams, covered with icicles, rise from the cliff face, crisscrossing and supporting the ice dome.

On a cliff face with a drop of about 100 meters, there is a huge, fetal-shaped cave.

Most of the buildings were built inside the caves, so their full appearance could not be seen, but there was no doubt that it was the Spirit Palace.

"Hiss~ Young Master, the situation inside is exactly as you described!"

After seeing the general situation below under the spotlight, Monk Hua immediately gasped in shock.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Hu Ming was filled with utter disbelief.

Even through the thick layer of ice, one can clearly perceive the situation inside without actually arriving.

This method truly amazed him.

Even Chen Pi was losing control of his facial expressions at this moment, his dry skin trembling slightly.

Some people and some methods are so extraordinary that you'll never believe such things exist in the world until you've seen them with your own eyes.

This is the current situation for Chen Pi and his partners.

Facts speak louder than words.

Hu Ming smiled but didn't say anything more.

Although a mausoleum is a whole, a mausoleum and a tomb are actually completely different things.

A mausoleum is a structure built on the ground, and the spirit palace is part of the mausoleum, which is also known as the Dragon Tower and Treasure Hall by the tomb raiders.

A tomb, on the other hand, is an underground palace where the coffin of the deceased is placed.

Here, all that can be seen so far is the mausoleum built inside a giant, fetal-shaped cave.

The fat man was the first to react and burst into laughter.

The others couldn't contain their joy either, and clapped their hands in celebration.

Fortunately, these people still had some sense and deliberately lowered their voices to avoid triggering an avalanche.

After so many days of hard work and suffering, they finally saw a glimmer of hope for entering the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds. How could they not be overjoyed?
Moreover, the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds is an imperial mausoleum!
Once they leave here, their status and reputation will immediately rise to a higher level.

Hu Ming didn't seem particularly agitated by this.

It's just an imperial tomb; it's not like it hasn't been destroyed before.

"Fourth Grandfather, should we go down now, or wait until tomorrow after we've rested?"

Looking at the sky, it was already late, and it was destined that the work wouldn't be finished tonight. Suppressing his joy, Monk Hua asked Chen Pi.

Chen Pi gave the overjoyed group a sinister look and asked, "Can you all hold back tomorrow?"

Everyone immediately grinned in unison.

Can you endure it?
Of course I couldn't resist!
With the equipment ready and the climbing rope lowered, everything was in place.

But when they got to this point, everyone looked down from the ice well and was stunned.

There is a very troublesome problem
Altitude aside, there are enough climbing ropes, so that's not a problem.

However, they were located directly above the abyss outside the cliff, about twenty meters away horizontally from the entrance of the fetal-shaped cave.

But swinging across with climbing ropes is impossible. And re-evaluating the distance and digging through the ice is also impractical. This is the only suitable spot around here to use a shovel.

Swish!
Just as everyone was looking rather worried, a dark figure suddenly flashed by and jumped into the icy well.

Everyone was startled, and upon closer inspection, they realized it was Hu Ming.

Hu Ming was seen slowly sliding down the mountain with gravity, his body wrapped around a climbing rope with one hand.

When Hu Ming's body was at the same level as the support frame on the cliff, he suddenly swung his right hand and a grappling hook was thrown out.

Snapped!
In the next instant, the grappling hook had already covered twenty meters in mid-air, precisely landing on the support frame. It circled around several times, then gripped it tightly.

The next thing will be much easier to handle.

He grabbed the rope at the end of the grappling hook with his right hand and wrapped it around his arm, pulling himself over with all his might while constantly releasing the climbing rope in his left hand.

Before long, Hu Ming had successfully reached the support frame below the ice well.

I stomped on it hard. The quality of this thing is not bad. After hundreds of years, it can still bear a considerable weight.

At the very least, it can handle a fat person without any problem.

Hu Ming tied the climbing rope to the support frame with his back hand, and a cableway was ready to go. He then called out to the people on board.

—The route down is all set, so why don't you come down and wait for some late-night snacks?
Seeing that Hu Ming had arrived safely and even set up the cableway, the people on board were stunned.

"...As expected of the Second Master, the vertical drop is at least a hundred meters, and the horizontal drop is more than twenty meters."

"Whether we could even do it is unknown, but Young Master Er, how long did it take? Less than a minute, and he's already done it?"

Monk Hua grimaced and gasped in astonishment.

"In less than a minute, or to be precise, only thirty-four seconds, Young Master Er completed that series of difficult moves."

Ye Cheng glanced at the second hand on his watch and said softly.

"Hmph, a great reputation is never undeserved. What do you think he relied on to create such a great name more than twenty years ago?"

"Compared to true masters, you are still far from being good enough!"

Chen Pi snorted coldly and began to lecture his men.

As for Wu Xie, Fatty, and Panzi, the three of them simply watched Chen Pi and the others' changing expressions and chuckled to themselves.

Those who have never witnessed Hu Ming in action can never imagine how formidable his skills are.

That completely shatters our understanding of humanity.

Sometimes, Wu Xie even maliciously wondered if his all-powerful Uncle Ming was really human.
Instead of something like Godzilla in human skin?
Just then, another dark figure flashed by, jumped into the ice well, and disappeared.

That's the young man.

"...Well, these two are both unconventional, so what if they're skilled in combat?"

"Damn, when I get back I'm going to work out hard to build muscle. Give me a year, and I can get to that level too!"

Wu Xie's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but complain.

"However, in reality, in our line of work, being incredibly skilled is what matters."

"Not to mention people like Hu Ming and Xiao Ge, who have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves, they're even more remarkable!"

"Besides, even if you had a hundred years, you still wouldn't be as good as those two. Naive young comrade, accept your fate. You're not the type to rely on brute force. You'd better stay behind the scenes and be a staff officer!"

Fatty ruthlessly shattered Wu Xie's fantasy.
