Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 400 You did it on purpose!
It is difficult for ordinary people to understand the panic that a person with normal five senses feels when they suddenly lose one of their senses.

In particular, before losing his sight, he watched helplessly as swarms of red snakes rapidly approached from all over the mountainside.

In such a deadly crisis, those with slightly weaker mental fortitude are likely to break down on the spot.

Fortunately, the people here are all skilled in this craft, having frequented ancient tombs for many years, and their mental fortitude far surpasses that of ordinary people.

But feeling the hissing of the snake's tongue in my ear, and the cold, icy touch that lingered on my skin...
Some people were still scared out of their wits.

I was absolutely terrified!
A pungent, fishy smell drifted through the camp on the night breeze.

Gas masks.
Damn it!
Hu Ming and Hei Xiazi's faces darkened, and they cursed inwardly.

Even the young man's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Holy shit, who the hell is urinating or defecating in public like this late at night?"

"Isn't this smell absolutely awful? Did some jerk eat something that's supposed to cause internal heat last night?"

The fat man's cursing could be heard coming from inside the tent.

At night, thanks to the young man's advice, everyone went to sleep with a sense of unease.

There was a lot of noise outside, mainly because of the strong smell, which woke them up.

But upon waking up, everyone was immediately startled.

At first, they were surrounded by darkness, and they assumed they had just woken up and their eyes hadn't adjusted yet.

But no matter how much I rubbed my eyes, almost squeezing them until they burst, all I could see was darkness!
Even if you lit a lighter right in front of you, and your eyebrows were scorched and singed, you still couldn't see a single ray of light!
Oh, and there are also a few golden stars that appeared from rubbing my eyes so hard.

"What happened? Hu Ming? Young man? The blind man!?"

Wu Sansheng, as expected of an old hand in the lake, quickly suppressed his panic and calmly asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that your guys were so embarrassed, they all peed their pants in fear, that's why the smell is a bit strong."

"It's alright, you guys go back to sleep, it'll be fine in a bit."

Hu Ming casually pulled out various types of easily preserved compressed food from his backpack and piled them at his feet, replying casually.

We've been in the oasis for more than two or three days now.

Everything in this oasis is wonderful—there are adorable snakes and exquisite insects—but fresh food is extremely scarce.

Before coming, in order to lighten her load, Chen Wenjin had no choice but to reduce the weight she was carrying.

Judging from the food she carried and the time, this woman must have been hungry.

It's not the kind of starvation you do to lose weight.

She wasn't Hu Ming; she needed to cover her entire body with the mud from the snake swamp to shield herself from the crested snake's senses.

However, the problem is that doing this will accelerate the loss of body heat and increase energy consumption.

"Is that what I asked? It's not like I can't smell it! Or did you and the blind guy piss yourselves in fear?"

"What the hell are you talking about with all these noises around here?"

Wu Sansheng immediately began to lose his composure.

Friend, is this how you avoid the important issues and focus on the trivial?
They may be blind for now, but they're not deaf!
The screams and hissing of snakes all around me—something really terrible has happened!
"Oh, you mean this? It's nothing serious, just a swarm of snakes approaching the camp... It's alright, you guys go back to sleep." "When you wake up tomorrow, you'll find that nothing happened."

Hu Ming was being perfunctory with Wu Sansheng, his gaze constantly drifting to the other side from the very beginning.

There was a barely perceptible movement in the mud over there.

Meanwhile, the red swarm of snakes avoided the location of Wu Sansheng and his group's tents, and the campfire where Hu Ming and his two companions were, and rushed towards the seven men on night watch.

Hu Ming's intuition had already revealed that all seven of them were wearing human skin masks, without exception!
Of course, it's hard to say whether everyone is "him".

After all, Hu Ming had already noticed that along the way, these seven people were somewhat estranged but actually part of a group, clearly not one of their own.

Besides "his" people, there were other people with ulterior motives who had infiltrated the group!
Without exception, Hu Ming could tell from these people's everyday actions that they were all exceptionally skilled!
Their tiger's mouths were covered with thick calluses from the gun.

In short, with seven men and seven guns, they were a potential threat to some extent.

Hu Ming was too lazy to spend the effort to find out who the mysterious other group of people were.

In short, let's finish them all tonight.

Actually, thinking about it carefully, I feel quite sorry for Wu Sansheng.

A pair of golden eyes suddenly opened, and an invisible wave emanated from Hu Ming's eyes.

"hiss!"

The snakes accepted Hu Ming's new order.

Among this group of foolish humans, seven are their enemies!
In an instant, the swarm of snakes that had already crawled all over the seven people opened their mouths, revealing their venomous fangs that gleamed coldly.

The neurotoxin was injected into the bodies of the seven people in the blink of an eye.

"Uh uh uh"

In an instant, the screams around me stopped.

After a few breaths, the camp fell into complete silence as a series of "thump, thump, thump" sounds rang out.

Under Hu Ming's command, the snakes retreated slowly and orderly.
It's worth mentioning that, out of a certain morbid sense of humor, under Hu Ming's command, the snake swarm's retreat route was the snake swamp that Hu Ming had specifically been watching.

Chen Wenjin must be very happy right now, right?
I'm so happy I want to curse.

Damn it!!!
At this moment, Chen Wenjin, who was hiding in the swamp, had long since turned green with embarrassment, her delicate face covered in mud.

Yes, even through the thick mud, you can faintly see a hint of green light!
The feeling of thousands of snakes slithering across every part of my body... wow! It's like I'm in heaven!!!
At this point, Chen Wenjin could also discern something from the situation.

It's likely that Hu Ming possesses some peculiar ability to manipulate these devilish crested snakes.

Countless snakes lined up and slithered over her body.
"Hu Ming!!! You son of a bitch!!! You absolutely did this on purpose, didn't you!!!"

No matter how resilient she was, Chen Wenjin was still a woman. Her mentality completely collapsed. Ignoring the possibility of disturbing the snakes, she leaped out of the snake swamp and roared angrily at the sky.

Hu Ming could even vaguely see a glistening tear glistening at the corner of Chen Wenjin's eye, washing away the mud on her face and revealing a glimpse of her fair and delicate skin.

Suddenly, a wonderful fragrance wafted from the air.
