Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 407 The Horror of Women!
Before long, Wu Xie and the others lowered the ropes and slowly descended.

Below is a huge circular cave, much larger than the space above.

The surrounding area is densely covered with many stone gates of the same style.

"Wow, this is truly a hidden gem!"

The fat man threw down the rope and walked to the side, gasping in surprise.

"Where are Wu Sansheng and Panzi?"

Hu Ming glanced at the group of people who had come down, then looked at Chen Wenjin, who was the last to land, with a strange expression.

Just now, Hu Ming heard some noise.

"I knocked him out, and Panzi is taking care of him upstairs!"

Chen Wenjin put her hands on her waist and said confidently.

"What the hell???"

Everyone was immediately shocked.

What the hell is this?
Wu Xie, in particular, carefully distanced himself from Chen Wenjin.

I'm terrified that Aunt Wenjin might do that to me too!
"Yes, Master Ming, Third Master, you two continue on your way. As for Third Master, I'll stay here to take care of him."

At this moment, Panzi poked its head out from above, avoiding Chen Wenjin's gaze.

Damn it, Panzi was just scared by Chen Wenjin!
Suddenly, he picked up a stone from the ground and shoved it at the back of Wu Sansheng's head.
To be honest, Panzi felt a slight, throbbing pain in the back of his head.

This woman is incredibly bold; she doesn't seem worried at all about accidentally killing Wu Sansheng.
"I can't help it! You don't know the other side of these three provinces, they're so clingy!"

Chen Wenjin pondered for a moment, then said with some helplessness.

"Clingy?"

"Yes, we're very close to my destination now. I know it too well!"

"When we part, he'll definitely hold my hand and chatter on and on. Ugh, just thinking about it is a bit annoying. I might as well let him get a good night's sleep."

"Wu Xie, since we got here, your third uncle hasn't had a single good night's sleep, has he? I'm doing this for his own good!"

Chen Wenjin glanced at Wu Xie.

“It seems that’s true?” Wu Xie said, picking at his teeth.

Damn it, is this even possible to explain things this way?
Is he naive and out of touch with the times? Are all women these days so eloquent?
They're blatantly lying and spouting complete nonsense.

But why does it sound like it actually makes some sense?
It's amazing!
"Wu Sansheng is truly the first person I've discovered. This old fox is actually quite pitiful."

Ah Ning moved closer to Hu Ming and whispered something in his ear.

To be honest, even Ah Ning was frightened by Chen Wenjin's fierce behavior.

Speaking of big events, Aning has seen her fair share.

But Chen Wenjin is like that.
With a face that looked like he was in his early twenties and an innocent-looking demeanor, how could he just smile and knock Wu Sansheng down with a brick?
Suddenly, Ah Ning remembered a type of spider...

Black Widow!
The enormous awakening cave in front of us is a trapezoidal space.

Several low-altitude flares were fired in succession. The fireballs flew into the darkness and soon burst into bloom, illuminating the cave brightly.

Seeing this, Hu Ming fired several more shots, illuminating even the blind spots around him.

This is indeed the deepest part of the city of Tamtuo, and the caves are not entirely natural. Human intervention can be seen everywhere.

The cave's perimeter resembles a stadium, with steps and terraces built around it.

Each step was covered with black, bloated statues, densely packed, in concentric circles, with not a single empty space.

"This is not a sculpture... If you don't want to die, don't move."

As the flare descended lower and lower, the situation below became clearer.

There are traces of human activity here.

A stone disc is placed at the bottom, surrounded by dozens of uniquely shaped bronze artifacts of varying sizes.

Everything was very simple.

Looking at the surrounding cliffs, there was no obvious way to continue forward, indicating that we had indeed reached the end of the journey.

"This might be the sacred ground of the Queen Mother's Kingdom, a place where the royal family of the Queen Mother of the West conducts secret activities..."

“They may be holding some highly confidential ceremony here, or practicing some kind of religious ritual.”

Chen Wenjin had done a lot of research beforehand and had some understanding of the situation here.

At the very least, they were quite clear about some of the customs and habits of the Queen Mother of the West's kingdom.

"Damn, this holy site is so dilapidated, it's really disappointing!"

"That Queen Mother of the West is really clueless! What are these bronze artifacts? And these stone carvings, my goodness! Uncle Ming, Tianzhen, look at these stone carvings!"

The fat man carefully examined his surroundings and couldn't help but complain.

But after examining the black stone carvings closely, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"It's jade. That's right, the kind we saw in the Lu King's Palace before, filled with blood corpses!"

"My personal advice is, don't touch these things lightly, your life is at stake!"

Hu Ming was very familiar with the place and knew exactly what the fat man was horrified about.

A jade figurine represents both an ancient person who has survived to this day and a blood-soaked corpse!
And here, I roughly counted, it's probably a little over two hundred?
If they were all released, it would truly become a post-apocalyptic survival scenario.

"hiss!!!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie gasped, and memories of the Seven Star Lu Palace flooded back like a tidal wave.

The iron-faced scholar and the blood-soaked corpse in the Lu Palace, which had lived for over two thousand years, are still fresh in my memory!
The fat man was quite brave. After a brief moment of shock, he turned on the light and went closer to take a closer look.

"It's best to avoid touching this. If the timing isn't right, waking up what's inside the jade figurine will bring disaster!"

Hu Ming grabbed the fat man's wrist and shook his head.

"The jade figurines here are the latest batch made by Her Majesty the Queen Mother of the West a thousand years ago using new technology. Even if they are awakened at the wrong time, they will not degenerate into blood corpses."

"Instead, it transforms into an incomplete existence like me."

"Long time no see, Hu Ming, Zhang Qiling! His Majesty said you've already entered behind the bronze gate?"

Just then, a hoarse voice rang out from the bottom of the circular cave.
