Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 446 Remains?

"Together?"

Suddenly, the young man asked a question out of the blue.

"No, I can handle it by myself. Who knows what kind of trouble might arise here? It's always better to be safe than sorry."

Hu Ming's voice was barely audible, as if he were about to fall asleep.

In fact, after saying that, Hu Ming really fell asleep.
The environment here is so comfortable!
The "warm" sunbathing, the clear mountain spring, and the subtle fragrance lingering around the nose are simply impeccable.

The only downside was that the midday sun was too bright; even with my eyelids closed, my eyes felt a little dizzy.

And here we are, Hu Ming is wearing sunglasses.
"What are you two plotting now...?"

Seeing the two of them so openly keeping things a secret in front of him, Wu Xie's mood immediately soured.

"nothing."

The young man glanced at Hu Ming, whose breathing had slowed and who was fast asleep, and casually brushed off Wu Xie.

Then, without any hesitation, he took the sunglasses off Hu Ming's face and put them on himself, then lay back by the stream and closed his eyes to rest.

"..."

While taking a nap, Hu Ming once again pulled a pair of sunglasses out of thin air and put them on.

...Now, she's really asleep.

Wu Xie: Damn it, did you guys hear me? I said damn it!!!
"Next time you're plotting something you don't want me to know, please don't discuss it in front of me, okay...?"

With a helpless sigh, Wu Xie followed the example of the two and lay down by the stream, picking up his clothes to cover his eyes.

It wasn't that Wu Xie didn't want to learn from Xiao Ge and take off Hu Ming's sunglasses.

Instead, without anyone noticing, a precious sword suddenly appeared beside Hu Ming.
"Magicians are amazing!"

Wu Xie snorted softly, a hint of resentment in his voice.

"Magicians are amazing. Don't bother me, I'm asleep."

Now, Hu Ming was truly, truly, truly asleep.

The three of them only took a short nap of about one or two hours.

After all, if a person soaks in water for too long, their skin can easily turn white and swell. Continuing to soak in water is more harmful than beneficial.

As for the fat guy...

He spent a good one or two hours playing among the girls, thoroughly enjoying himself.

Fortunately, the fat man was still somewhat clear-headed, mainly because he was with Yun Cai and, despite the allure of paradise, he managed to maintain a degree of clarity.

"Wow, that was a really good night's sleep!"

Taking off his sunglasses, Hu Ming stood up and stretched.

The cool stream water had completely absorbed the damp heat from my body, leaving me feeling refreshed.

At this time, the hottest part of the day has passed. Although it is still humid and hot, it is much better than midday.

This is a village in the mountains, without all the fuss and formalities of the city. The group was too lazy to put on shirts, so they just walked back shirtless, pulling the still-wanting fat man along.

It's worth mentioning that both Hu Ming and the young man have extremely good physiques. Both have smooth, fair skin.
This is a benefit of having the right bloodline; you can't get tanned no matter how much sun you get.

It surpasses even the delicate skin of a young girl.

However, such skin did not make them look effeminate, and their streamlined upper bodies with well-defined muscles that did not appear bulky were truly eye-catching.

Eight-pack abs!!!
The evidence is that as the four left, the girls playing in the water were mostly drawn to Jiangnan and the young man.

This made Wu Xie and Fatty extremely envious.

Let's not even talk about fat people, they weigh at least 200 pounds, and everyone knows what their upper body looks like.

And Wu Xie.
At most, all you can say is that he doesn't have a belly.

Abdominal muscles
It all comes down to the same thing.

In fact, for normal people, it is almost impossible to maintain eight-pack abs without consistent daily exercise.

At most, maintaining a scientific diet and a good lifestyle will be enough to get six-pack abs.

People like Hu Ming and Xiao Ge are the kind of people that ordinary people can only envy.

The four of them strolled around the village, arm in arm, enjoying the local customs and whiling away the afternoon.

In the evening, Ah Gui treated everyone to a lavish meal, with wine and meat served, and Yun Cai keeping them company.
The main reason was that Hu Ming and others gave so much money that A Gui couldn't refuse.

As night deepened, the four men huddled together in a room, staring at the black leather suitcase on the floor in the center of their group.

Swish!
Suddenly, a black and gold sword appeared in the young man's hand, its cold light tearing through the dim light.

The iron lock on the black leather suitcase was the old-fashioned kind, and as for the key... no one expected the guy, who had forgotten the past, to remember where the key was.

The young man could still vaguely remember that there was something hidden under the bed, which was already incredibly fortunate.

They didn't expect the delivery guy to remember anything more.

Clang...
A crisp metallic humming sound rang out.

The iron lock snapped in response.

The Black Gold Sword is so powerful it can cut through gold and jade, and is indestructible. This is no joke.

"I have a vague recollection of what was inside the box; it seemed to contain something incredibly terrifying."

As Wu Xie slowly opened the box, Xiao Ge murmured in a daze.

The memory loss was so severe that the young man couldn't remember anything inside.

But a vague feeling, a gut feeling, told him that he had hidden something quite remarkable inside back then!
It's the kind of thing where, no matter what, you can't reveal the true nature of what's inside.

"It is certainly a terrifying thing, but this is only part of it."

Hu Ming lit a cigarette and quietly watched as Wu Xie carefully took out a toad-shaped, wide-mouthed metal object from the box.

This thing looks like a gourd, covered in rust and pitted by some unknown substance.

"This thing is just part of a biological organism, a remnant of a failed artificial attempt at immortality."
