Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 409 FBI-OPEN.THE.DOOR! !
"..."

Upon hearing this, the ghost soldiers turned to look at Hu Ming.

He didn't know what to say.

The Corpse Beetle Pill is indeed an elixir of immortality, but without a jade burial suit or jade coffin, this thing is a deadly poison!
Even if this batch of corpse beetle pills is a newly improved version by the Queen Mother of the West, it still cannot avoid this defect.

If this pill is consumed by someone outside...
Will she transform into a forbidden woman, a blood corpse, or one of the ghostly soldiers like him?
Subconsciously, the Yin soldiers began to make connections, and felt a sincere sense of schadenfreude about the person Hu Ming was about to trick!
Chen Wenjin, Wu Xie, and other insiders looked at Hu Ming with strange expressions.

Chen Wenjin did indeed receive Hu Ming's warning look.

In fact, even if Hu Ming hadn't warned them, Chen Wenjin wouldn't have sabotaged them at this time.

Qiu Dekao and the people of Jiumen are too deeply involved, and many grudges are difficult to settle.

Now, almost everything has been settled, as for Qiu Dekao's life...
Chen Wenjin wished that old bastard would just die on the spot!
Moreover, it seems like a good outcome for Qiu Dekao to consume the Corpse Beetle Pill and then transform into a monster?
Chen Wenjin's big eyes flashed with interest, and she swiftly and decisively covered Wu Xie's mouth shut.

At the same time, she gave Hu Ming a look.

That's GKD's gaze!
"You're not kidding?"

Ah Ning looked at Hu Ming in astonishment; she had already prepared herself to return empty-handed and for the mission to fail.

But to her utter surprise, Hu Ming gave her a wonderful surprise when she arrived!
"Those who know me know that although I have a lot of flaws, my strengths are also very obvious: I never lie!"

"Oh, I almost forgot, it wouldn't hurt us to take one of these, would it?"

As he spoke, Hu Ming looked at the Yin soldiers.

I was so focused on scamming people that I completely forgot this thing has an owner.

"It's alright. You and His Majesty have a good relationship. If it were you, he probably wouldn't mind if you took one of these..."

The ghost soldier nodded expressionlessly, glanced at the overjoyed Ah Ning, and continued leading the way.

Ha, you silly woman!
Turning his back, the ghost soldier's stiff face revealed a gloating smile.

"Thank you so much, Hu Ming! I will definitely explain the situation to my boss when I get back."

"Trust me, his boss will definitely thank you!"

Ah Ning carefully removed a Corpse Beetle Pill from the star chart and put it in the tactical pocket at her waist, then solemnly thanked Hu Ming.

The joy on his face was practically overflowing!

"It's nothing! Like I said, I don't have any real grudges with Qiu Dekao."

Hu Ming grinned.

As for Qiu Dekao's gratitude?
Let's wait until he's alive and well before we talk about it.

"Well done!"

Chen Wenjing suppressed a laugh, patted Hu Ming's shoulder with a normal expression, and whispered in Hu Ming's ear.

Hu Ming returned the smile.

This was actually quite fun!
……

To the naked eye, this cave appears to be a closed space.

There was no road ahead, and it seemed that this place held the deepest secrets of the Queen Mother of the West's kingdom.

"...Don't move, let me do it!" "Our joints are stiff, far less flexible than those of ordinary people, so doing delicate work is not easy."

"It took us four whole years to repair the places you damaged before!"

Seeing Hu Ming draw his precious sword, its blade pointing at the astrolabe, eager to test its power, the Yin soldiers immediately became restless.

Hu Ming possesses the mechanical skills of the Mohist school from the Warring States period.

Finding a secret passage leading to deeper levels would be easy, but Hu Ming felt that cleaving it open with a single stroke would be quicker and more satisfying.

Perhaps this is the inertia of thinking that comes with becoming powerful?
If something can be resolved with a knife, there's no need to ramble on.

"Alright, I was originally planning to test how hard this stone slab was after your repairs!"

Hu Ming clicked his tongue in regret.

Well, it seems that pretending to be ignorant and then stabbing someone in the back won't work.

Sheathed his sword and looked at the ghostly soldiers with a gaze filled with regret and resentment.

"..."

The ghost soldier's stiff cheeks twitched slightly; he was a little tired and didn't want to deal with this guy anymore.

He reached his hand into the astrolabe's base and activated a hidden mechanism.

Click click click.
As the sound rang out, the astrolabe suddenly split open in the middle, folding and folding to both sides.

Before long, a passage large enough for two people to walk side by side appeared before them.

This is a small, downward-sloping stone cavity, and judging from the marks, it was also carved out by human hands.

The searchlight shone in and easily revealed the end: a perfectly sealed stone wall. Below the wall, there was a pile of scattered rubble.

From the crowd's perspective, a string of unreadable English letters could be seen on one of the pebbles.

That's a unique mark on the young man!
"I don't remember, but the markings meant to smash through the wall."

"Perhaps, when I came here before, I also destroyed the passage to reach the deepest part?"

Seeing the gazes of the crowd, a look of bewilderment flashed across the young man's face.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, this clean, efficient, and convenient way of clearing the road is not something the guy couldn't do.

The stone wall in front of us was clearly rebuilt and inlaid later, and some obvious traces can still be seen around it.

"It's not you, it's Hu Ming."

“When you came before, you were very friendly. We also had a lot of contact with the Zhang family. I was the one who opened the door for you.”

"And Hu Ming... he beat me up, and then he chopped the door open with a knife himself."

The ghostly soldier silently walked to a black jade figurine on the ground beneath the stone wall, feeling somewhat weary.

This blank jade figurine belongs to him; it has clear repair marks, and some knife marks can still be faintly seen.
The past is too painful to recall!
To be honest, if they could defeat Hu Ming, the ghost soldiers would have already grabbed their swords and started hacking at him!
He, an ancient person from five thousand years ago, was bullied by a young man in his twenties or thirties.
Doesn't he have any pride?
"Don't ask, the answer is I have a unique way of driving!"

Seeing the strange looks from the group, Hu Ming grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth, his smile incredibly radiant.
