Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 376 Clay Pot?!
"Those are Caucasians!!!"

Suddenly, Ah Ning cried out in a trembling voice.

She would never mistake them; her men all bore unique identification marks, signifying they were Caucasians, one of the missing individuals!
However, after only two days apart, Ah Ning couldn't understand why he had mutated into a man-eating monster.
"It used to be, but now it's just a blood corpse that has lost all its senses!"

"As you can see, your lovely subordinates have turned into man-eating monsters. I don't need to say more about the fate of the others, do I?"

Exhaling a long puff of smoke, Hu Ming slowly walked forward, knife in hand, looking at the monster provocatively from below.

Hu Ming already knew how he got this thing.

But that's not important. What's important is that hacking away at blood corpses feels incredibly satisfying!
Subconsciously, a rather excited smile appeared on Hu Ming's face.

The next moment!
"roar--!!!"

Sensing Hu Ming's provocative gaze, the Caucasian Blood Corpse roared to the sky and, following its bestial instincts, jumped straight off the sunken ship!
boom!!!
That location was a full fifty meters above the ground.

Combined with the Caucasian's weight of around 150 or 160 pounds, he slammed down on Hu Ming like a cannonball.

Hu Ming didn't know what would happen to the blood corpse if it hit solidly.

But Hu Ming himself must be feeling terrible.

With a slight shift in his footing, he narrowly avoided the oncoming cannonball.

A light sniff revealed the strange, pungent, and fishy smell unique to the blood corpse, carried on the strong wind.

Hu Ming's hands moved swiftly, taking advantage of the moment when the blood corpse was stunned as it fell, Hu Ming immediately slashed down with his treasured sword.

puff!

Despite his vision being obstructed by the dust kicked up, Hu Ming knew from the familiar feel of his hand that he had struck!

Before he could think, Hu Ming retreated rapidly. In the dust, a blood-red arm tore through the sand and reached for Hu Ming.
Damn it!
Hu Ming cursed under his breath, his face darkening. This thing is utterly shoddy!
A man's genitals are quite vulnerable. If he were to actually get his hands on them, wouldn't his life be completely ruined?
Fortunately, Hu Ming hid in time, otherwise he would have truly become the last eunuch in China.

There are no empress dowagers or empresses these days!

"roar!!!"

As the dust settled slightly, the roaring figure of the blood corpse emerged from the crater.

Compared to its previous ferocious appearance, the blood corpse was now missing an arm and looked somewhat pitiful.

Apart from that, the thing showed no other signs of distress.

It must be said that blood corpses are truly impervious to swords and spears.

Jumping from a height of fifty meters is like child's play; nothing happens to him.

If it weren't for the powerful weapon in his possession, even Hu Ming wouldn't have had an easy time dealing with this thing.

With a slight tremor of his wrist, Hu Ming charged towards the blood corpse like lightning.

No matter how invulnerable it is, it's still no match for the Dragon Pattern Cloud Blade!
The sharp blade tore through the night sky, leaving streaks of cold light as it slashed toward the blood corpse's head with unstoppable momentum.

At the same time, in order to deliver a fatal blow, Hu Ming, wearing a special glove, curled his left hand into a claw and gripped the blood corpse's one arm with lightning speed.

This thing is covered in poison. Even if Hu Ming or Xiao Ge came into contact with it at point-blank range, they would still suffer some harm. This is what makes the blood corpse so troublesome. Hu Ming is afraid of pain, so he really wouldn't dare to play around like that.

puff.
In the night sky, a sound like a blade slicing through cowhide rang out.

Hu Ming brushed past the blood corpse, flicked his blade with a flourish, and a crimson spider lily bloomed instantly on the ground.

The blood corpse stood motionless in place.

A few seconds later, his head slowly slid off his neck.

This strike was incredibly fast!
boom!
The grotesque head of the blood-soaked corpse fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Just then, Hu Ming swung his treasured sword again, slashing vertically and splitting the lifeless head in two.

"..."

Seeing this, Ah Ning opened her mouth, wanting to stop Hu Ming from whipping the corpse, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything.

This thing is no longer her subordinate; it's a man-eating monster!
Moreover, Aning knew a little about Hu Ming. In battle, Hu Ming was always clean and efficient, never making any unnecessary movements.

really!
"This"

Ah Ning stepped forward, frowned, and looked closely. Her face immediately turned deathly pale.

Inside the creature's head, a small, blood-red worm had just been chopped to death, and its two halves still retained slight nerve reflexes and twitched.

What's most unacceptable is that this thing's head was already riddled with holes!
Everywhere I looked, there were tiny, rice-grain-sized, milky-white spherical particles with a hint of crimson, almost completely filling my head!
"The blood-red worm is the Corpse Beetle King. This is the reason why the Caucasians have turned into this grotesque creature."

"These rice-grain-shaped things that eroded its head into a honeycomb are the eggs that the Corpse Beetle King laid in a short period of time."

"It means that the Caucasians moved things they shouldn't have inside the ship, which is why it turned into this horrible state, harming both themselves and others."

"As for the other two, No, their legs say it all."

Hu Ming used his precious sword to poke at the two halves of the blood corpse's head, making a gesture.

Before Aning could process all this information, Hu Ming had already arrived at the foot of the cliff.

He pulled out two paratrooper knives from his waist and used them as climbing axes, nimbly climbing upwards.

Before long, Hu Ming had crossed a vertical height of fifty meters and jumped onto the ancient boat embedded in the cliff.

As soon as he arrived on the dilapidated deck of the ancient ship, Hu Ming saw some fragments of black pottery jars, on which the "Bluebird" symbol could be faintly seen.

The bluebird is the totem of the Queen Mother of the West's kingdom.

Among the scattered fragments of the pottery jar, there was also a mud ball covered in black hair.
This thing is clearly a human head covered in dried mud!
These pottery jars and human heads were used by the Queen Mother of the West to feed the Corpse Beetle King!
The Caucasians found the shipwreck during a sandstorm and unearthed these pottery jars from it.

For some purpose, they wanted to take this thing out of the country.

Clearly, for some reason, he accidentally broke the pottery jar, waking up the sleeping corpse beetle king inside, which led to the series of events that followed.
