Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 456 Labor and management must prove themselves!
The pale moonlight cast shadows through the forest.

Perhaps it was psychological, but the hunters always felt that the shadows around them were terrifying.

The light shone in.

The mud pit wasn't big; there was nowhere to hide in it.

But the hunting dog kept barking at the mud pit, which suggested there might be something inside.
"This place... is perfect for hiding things!"

"Do you remember what Panma's son said, that Panma hid a piece of scrap iron in the mountains?"

Wu Xie said thoughtfully.

This place is remote and desolate; generally speaking, no one would be so bored as to come here.

In addition, ordinary people are extremely averse to coffins and tombs, let alone this desolate mountain ancient tomb, which is an exceptionally suitable place to hide things.

"It's hard to say!"

"Perhaps Panma did hide the iron block here before, but who knows now."

However, Hu Ming calmly shook his head, pointing the light to a dirt road.

The color of the soil in some parts of the pit was clearly off.

This isn't black soil; the black color from the oxidation of blood in the soil is quite noticeable, and it's not hard to spot if you pay attention.

"Hey, what's the point of us thinking so much up there?"

"If you want to know what's down there, why don't you just go down and take a look?"

The fat guy got excited when he saw a grave and a coffin, rubbing his hands together with great interest.

Although Hu Ming deduced that this was merely a grave for a poor family, and therefore unlikely to contain any valuable burial goods.
Even if there were any, they'd probably have been taken by the spies long ago.

But that's just how Fatty is; he gets itchy if he doesn't touch a coffin when he sees one.

With that, Wu Xie and he, who were somewhat tempted, jumped straight in.

"I suddenly had a bad feeling."

Hu Ming's lips twitched violently as he lit a cigarette and whispered in the young man's ear.

"Danger? Impossible. The feng shui and terrain here make it absolutely impossible for the tomb owner to rise from the dead."

"Moreover, the space below is not large, and it's all flowing mud, so it's impossible for anything to be hidden there."

The young man shook his head, avoiding the villagers, his mouth moving slightly.

"That makes sense, but the problem is that Wu Xie's physique is just too damn weird!"

"Wu Xie and Fatty, Fatty always tries to get Wu Xie to open the coffin when they go into the tomb, and Wu Xie... he always raises the corpse when he opens the coffin..."

"The two of them went to open the coffin alone. To be honest, I was really a little creeped out."

Hu Ming twitched his lips, his expression quite strange.

The Evil Emperor opening the coffin will surely cause the corpse to rise; do you think this is a joke?
Feng shui auspicious sites and common sense are all useless!
"...I'll go down and take a look."

Hu Ming's words gave Xiao Ge a bad feeling. He glanced at Wu Xie's hand reaching for the coffin and decisively jumped down after him.

Some things really can't be judged by common sense.

For example, Wu Xie.
"How come you city people are all so bold?"

Ah Gui looked at the three people who jumped in one after another and asked Hu Ming in a daze.

For them, it's hard to imagine that upon encountering a coffin, they would not shy away but instead happily jump into it.

This was also thanks to A-Gui and the other hunters knowing that the three of them went down to look for possible traces left by Pan Ma.

In addition, Hu Ming and his companions looked quite respectable, completely unlike the stereotypical tomb raiders with menacing faces.

That's why I didn't suspect tomb raiding. It's just that in this damned world, everything depends on looks!
Yun Cai stared longingly at the people below, somewhat bewildered.

"What, are you surprised to see your fat boss like this?"

Hu Ming looked at Yun Cai, who was staring blankly with wide eyes, with amusement.

It's hard to connect the dashing "heroine" who leaped through the mountains last night with the clouds now.

"Brother Hu Ming, is Fatty always like this?"

Yun Cai knows more than A Gui.

When Hu Ming and his group inquired about the archaeological team from back then on their very first day here, Yun Cai began to suspect their identities.

Now, seeing the three fat men's skillful movements, they probably understood something.

That's probably the case in most situations.

Hu Ming exhaled a smoke ring and gave a strange, enigmatic smile.

Bottom of the pit.

"Silent One, why did you come down here? There's no danger here."

Wu Xie stared blankly at the young man who had suddenly jumped down.

Snapped!
The young man slapped away Wu Xie's hand that was about to reach for the pipes and said softly, "I'll do it!"

"...I feel offended."

Wu Xie's face darkened, as if he had thought of something, and he grumbled twice in displeasure.

Beside him, the fat man opened his mouth, then covered it to suppress his laughter.

He also thought of Wu Xie's strange constitution.

Come to think of it, when Fifth Master Dog named Wu Xie, he probably hired the best fortune teller in the world, right?
"I come!"

"Hu Ming's concerns are very reasonable. Feng shui theory has no effect on you, so we have to be careful."

The young man glanced at the two of them, knowing they understood, and emphasized again.

Wu Xie's face darkened even more.

Damn, do you want me to emphasize that again? Doesn't the Third Master of the Wu family have any dignity?
"How about I give it a try and prove my innocence?"

"Anyway, you've already come down here. Even if you rise from the dead, you won't be able to cause any big trouble."

Wu Xie made a final effort, somewhat unwilling to give up.

"Yeah, buddy, why not give Tianzhen a chance to prove himself? There's no such thing as a supernatural thing in this world."

"Once, twice, three times, at most it could be considered a coincidence, right? The corpse in this coffin must have been completely rotten long ago, how could it possibly rise from the dead?"

After thinking for a moment, the fat man, for the sake of Wu Xie's face, also tried to persuade the younger brother.

"..."

The young man glanced at Wu Xie, whose eyes were full of pleading, and then looked at Hu Ming above him, who had a mocking expression on his face.

After thinking for a moment, he silently moved to the back of the coffin lid, avoiding the hunter's gaze above, and pulled out his precious sword from his backpack, aiming the tip at the crack in the coffin.

After doing all this, Xiao Ge looked at Wu Xie.

"Damn it, I'm going to prove myself today!"

Wu Xie's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He rolled up his sleeves and reached his hand through the crack into the coffin.

He, the Third Master of the Wu Family, the Evil Emperor, will prove to these scoundrels today that he will not rise from his coffin when he is opened!
However.
