Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 329 Three-layer structure!

In fact, if you ignore the deadly centipedes that are the fluorescent dots, this scene is indeed no different from a legendary fairyland.

In particular, within this sea of ​​fluorescence, there are some much larger fluorescent lights that are twisting and turning.

That was the centipede I saw in that spirit palace before.

"Damn it... what is this? Did we accidentally wander into a bug's nest?"

"Look at this quantity! With my physique, I could devour them in less than the time it takes to brew half a cup of tea, leaving not even a bone scrap!"

The fat man subconsciously scratched the wound on his buttocks and whispered something in a low voice.

Even someone as fearless and reckless as him couldn't withstand seeing all this.

"I told you to lose weight but you wouldn't listen. You don't know that these bugs love your fat body the most."

The originally somber atmosphere suddenly turned comical with Fatty's shout, and Wu Xie couldn't help but look at Fatty with schadenfreude.

It has to be said that the team needs someone like Fatty.

Putting everything else aside, their ability to liven up the atmosphere at crucial moments is unparalleled.

"Hey, little naiveté, let me tell you something, these insects aren't people, they don't pick and choose."

"My fat body can hold out for a while longer, but what about you? You'll probably be gone in a quarter of a cup of tea's time!"

The fat man scoffed dismissively.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Now is not the time to fool around. Let's all rest here for a bit."

"Remember, be very careful not to make any noise that might wake up these deadly little devils."

Hu Ming laughed and stopped the two from playing around.

There are several small hot springs here, making it a great place to relax.

Although centipedes were everywhere, which was a bit creepy.

However, after traveling for most of the day in this volcanic cave, even Hu Ming felt a bit tired, let alone the others.

And judging by the time, it's been almost 24 hours since I last slept.

The Heavenly Palace on the Clouds is extremely dangerous, and going there in a weary state is not a good choice.

"Alright, let's carefully avoid these deadly little devils. Washing our faces with hot water will help relieve our fatigue."

"Speaking of which, Uncle Ming... oh no, Master Ming, my Master Ming!"

As he spoke, the fat man suddenly slyly moved closer to Hu Ming.

"Hey fatty, if you have something to say, say it or shut up! Don't disgust me like this!"

Hu Ming raised an eyebrow. This fatso wasn't the type to flatter people. This kind of behavior meant he must have some money to burn! Just like his father.

really!

"Look, it's so dangerous here. If we accidentally provoke these little devils, we're all doomed!"

"This young man has gone missing again, so... how about you spare some of your precious blood for my nephew to protect him? Oh, and those talismans will do too!"

Fatty had no good intentions whatsoever.

But that's a rather...

It really resonates with everyone!
Especially Wu Xie and Pan Zi, they knew the power of Hu Mingbao's blood.

Immediately, a group of people turned their expectant gazes toward Hu Ming.

They just stared at Hu Ming without saying a word.

"Get the hell out of here! Get as far away from me as you can!"

"Bloodletting? You're dreaming! Don't even think about it."

Hu Ming's face turned completely dark. These people were just asking for a beating!
Suddenly, Hu Ming couldn't wait for these bastards and idiots to wake up the centipede swarm and watch them flee in a pathetic and disheveled manner.

hiss~
Thinking about it that way, it does seem a tiny bit malicious?
...This is not exactly a peaceful place, and despite the jokes, no one lingered here.

After all, nobody likes to joke around with their own life.

Although so-called tomb raiders are risking their lives for wealth.

After a short rest to relieve the fatigue, they couldn't wait to continue climbing upwards.

About four hours later.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in from one side of the cliff.

The wind was so strong that everyone was blown off balance, and some people almost fell.

But instead of being surprised, the crowd was delighted.

They knew this was the end of the road.

In other words, the Heavenly Palace is right before our eyes.

If I do the math, it's been more than a week since I left Changsha and arrived at my destination.

Along the way, they encountered a whole host of ridiculous and unbelievable things.

Now the Heavenly Palace is finally within reach.

How could everyone not be delighted?
The group fell silent, covering their heads as they moved closer to the edge of the precipice.

There was a protruding rock there. After climbing up, I lit a cold firework and looked around. Apart from the cliff where I was standing, I couldn't see anything in front of me.

boom!
Hu Ming fired a flare.

Like a meteor, the flare streaked across the sky, and before the white, blazing fireball hit the ground and went out, everyone could see what was in front of them.

Bathed in white light, there lay a massive crater, roughly three kilometers in diameter!
The crater basin is covered with a large number of dead trees.

Look there!

Holding up his binoculars, Hu Ming pointed into the distance before the flares went out.

Deep within the underground forest at the center of the volcanic basin lies a magnificent complex of buildings.

It was a huge, dark stone city, so far away that even with a telescope, its entirety could not be seen.

"My God! Who would have thought that such a magnificent building would exist inside this dark and gloomy Sacred Snow Mountain?"

"Could this be our destination, the mausoleum of the King of Ten Thousand Slaves? The underground palace of the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top is actually located in the crater?"

Seeing this, Wu Xie murmured in a daze.

To put it bluntly, even a modern construction team would find it difficult to build such a magnificent structure here, given its miraculous appearance.

Moreover, this is a work by ancient people with even lower productivity.

All I can say is, never underestimate the wisdom of the ancients; what they could do, modern people may not be able to do!
"This is not an underground palace, this is a mausoleum. The underground palace is located in a lower level."

Hu Ming shook his head and said.

"This isn't an underground palace? Uncle Ming, don't kid me. Look up there, it's clearly a volcanic rock dome."

"This is a huge natural underground cavity formed during volcanic activity. Above that, there should be the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top, which has been covered and buried by thousands of years of snow."

"But this place is underground, how could it be a tomb above ground?"

Wu Xie was stunned and asked incredulously.

"Indeed, according to common sense, the underground volcano below the Heavenly Palace is the underground palace."

"But Wu Xie, I can tell you with absolute certainty that there is another layer below. The mausoleum of the King of Ten Thousand Slaves has a total of three layers!"

"They respectively symbolize heaven, earth, and man, or perhaps gods, humans, and ghosts!"

At this moment, the flare had been extinguished, and the surroundings were pitch black again. Hu Ming put away the flare and explained mysteriously.
