Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 333 Parasitic Relationship!

The people in front of me were killed by the human-faced birds, who are the guardians of this imperial tomb.

The reason these corpses are hung here is because it's not yet time for the human-faced bird to feed.

These human-faced birds have rather strange habits. Every time they hunt, they bring the spoils back to their nest at the appropriate time, where all the birds share the spoils.

No, to be precise, it was enjoyed by all the monkeys in the mouth together.

This is a creature with an ancient parasitic relationship.

The mouth monkey is a strange monkey that is entirely blood red and has no skin; it has no hunting ability.

They can only survive by living inside the belly of the human-faced bird and feeding on the food it hunts.

Similarly, the human-faced bird has a fatal flaw: it cannot digest and absorb normal food!
However, the human-faced bird was surprisingly able to digest and absorb the monkey's excrement in its mouth...

It sounds disgusting, but this is how these two creatures with fatal flaws survive.

Each gets what they need; the wonders of nature are vividly displayed in this pair of parasitic organisms.

The moment Hu Ming stepped into the hall, he could still clearly hear the movements of the human-faced bird guarding the food.

This bird has similar habits to an owl.

As hunters, they are always silent, even when flying, and under the cover of darkness, almost nothing can detect them.

Just like now.
After receiving Hu Ming's affirmation, the fat man's eyes lit up, and he quickly climbed up the beam by stepping on the statue next to him.

Just as he touched the assault rifle, an unexpected event occurred.

Behind the fat man's shoulder, a distorted and bizarre face silently appeared.

Pale, cruel, and tyrannical.

"Fatty, watch out! There's something behind you!"

Upon seeing this, Wu Xie and Pan Zi were immediately shocked, their hearts sinking.

This distance, this eerie presence, it seems the fat man should be...
boom!
However, before the two could finish their pessimistic thoughts, gunshots rang out.

It wasn't the assault rifle in the fat man's hand, but the crisp, powerful sound of Hu Ming's M1911A1.

Hu Ming fired three brass bullets in quick succession.

The scorching hot bullet tore through the air and disappeared in a flash, about five centimeters from the fat man's head.

The next moment, blood splattered everywhere.

Red, white, and gray liquids splattered everywhere, like spilled dye.

That thing had its head blown off by three shots.

"Tsk, Uncle Ming, your marksmanship is truly amazing!"

"If I had hesitated for even a moment longer, I would have been hung up by this monstrous thing and turned into a sausage."

"If you flinch even slightly and the muzzle deviates even a fraction, my head will be blown up just like this thing."

The fat man wiped his face, showing no sign of panic, and sighed calmly.

He had just chosen to trust Hu Ming, so of course he wouldn't make that kind of embarrassing expression.

In short, the fat man just handed his life over to Hu Ming.

Hu Ming, as always, performed admirably and was trustworthy.

As he spoke, the fat man threw the assault rifle in his hand to Panzi below.

At the same time, he nimbly pulled two more rifles from the other corpse, one for Tianzhen and one for him.

As for Hu Ming, he preferred the pistol and the dragon-patterned cloud-shaped knife to this.

With these two weapons, we can handle the vast majority of problems.

Everyone has their own preferences, and Fatty didn't force Hu Ming. "Oh, Fatty just remembered, Hu Ming, this isn't right!"

Suddenly, the fat man, who was happily inspecting his rifle, exclaimed.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so easily startled?"

"No, think about it carefully. Uncle Ming, you've been with us the whole way, and we came by public transportation, going through so many security checks..."

"Where did you get that gun from?"

The fat man looked at the gun that Hu Ming was playing with, completely bewildered.

"how come?"

"It's simple. I know magic tricks. I don't want anyone else to find the gun; no matter what, no one can find it!"

Hu Ming raised an eyebrow, then smiled.

At the same time, he extended his hands, which were holding the gun, to show everyone.

Under their intense gazes, Hu Ming flipped his hands over.

"What the hell?"

A series of exclamations rang out.

With just a flick of his hand, the two guns in Hu Ming's hand vanished into thin air.

It really does look like magic.

But
"Uncle Ming, stop talking nonsense. Magic tricks are all illusions. Don't you know that?"

"I saw it clearly, your gun disappeared into thin air, there's no way that could be magic!"

Wu Xie retorted with an expression that said, "I'd be a fool to believe you."

"You're sure it's not magic, right? That's right, I admit it's definitely not magic."

"But...nephew, are you stupid? You know I'm just fooling you and don't want to tell you how I did it, so why are you still babbling on and on?"

"If I say this and you just believe it, wouldn't that be a win-win situation for everyone, right? Hmm?"

"Or do you have the power to force me to say what I don't want to say?"

Hu Ming chuckled, then his expression changed, and he looked at Wu Xie with disdain.

"..."

Wu Xie's lips twitched. "Damn, what you said makes so much sense!"
Looking back, sure enough, Panzi was covering his mouth and chuckling.

The fat guy, with his gaping maw, practically declared: "That's right, Fatty is mocking you!"
Wu Xie's face instantly turned black, as black as the bottom of a pot.

It's so obvious, yet he seems to be the only one who hasn't noticed, and he's still foolishly asking questions.
"Ahem, Third Master, well, now that we've obtained a lead on Third Master, shouldn't we stop wasting time here?"

“Ah Ning and her people clearly arrived here before us. If they find Third Master, who knows what might happen.”

"Damn it, how did those guys manage that? Aren't there sentries everywhere on Mount Sansheng? Did those half-baked bastards also find some secret passage?"

At this point, Panzi forgot all about making fun of Wu Xie and his face turned ugly.

He really couldn't imagine what would happen if Wu Sansheng were captured by these fully armed men.

Wu Sansheng isn't like Hu Ming; he has absolutely no chance of winning against those people.

"Hey Panzi, Wu Xie, don't you understand?"

"In the underwater tomb, Wu Sansheng and A Ning had already obtained what they wanted."

"That's a detailed structural diagram of the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds! You know, this place was renovated by Abbot Wang Zanghai, so he knows it very well."

Hu Ming sighed and explained.
