Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 529 To the Depths of the Cave!
In the deeper space, besides the red-haired madman who had already stopped breathing, there were many more little cuties.

Of course, this is Hu Ming's perception of "cute little ones." To Wu Xie and Xiao Hua, those "cute little ones" are the kind of devilish messengers who can take lives without warning!
After they finished preparing, the three of them looked at each other, and Hu Ming looked quite relaxed.

Even before entering, he already knew the situation inside perfectly well, thanks to his extraordinary five senses and the ability to identify dragons by their sounds.

Wu Xie and Xiao Hua were somewhat nervous. They took a deep breath and exchanged a glance.
They both saw encouragement and reassurance in each other's eyes.

"Ha~"

The two of them chuckled silently.

After all, they were childhood sweethearts who had known each other since they were young. Even though they had been separated for many years, the memories and friendship from their childhood had not completely faded.

In such a dangerous place, the two were still somewhat worried about each other's situation.

Wu Xie is physically useless, a fact he doesn't deny, while Xiao Hua has only ever been involved in scheming and plotting since childhood, and is in charge of managing the overall situation in the Xie family.

To be honest, this is the first time I've ever done real-world farm work.

Seeing this, Hu Ming shook his head and smiled slightly. Without saying anything more or minding the dirt, he lifted the iron plate soaked in the blood of the Hou club and gestured to the two of them.

After all, only Hu Ming could carry this thing without any effort, so he could only wait for them to go in before following them in.

A short while later, the three of them descended to a space deep underground.

The underground space was exceptionally deep. The three of them clung to the bronze chains connecting them below, and it took them three or four minutes to finally reach the ground.

The space below was extremely cramped, with little room to spare besides the bronze chains.

This resulted in the three of them ending up with their chests pressed against the chains and their backs scraping against the rock wall as they slowly slid down.

"Damn it, that red-haired beast is fatter than me, how did it get up here? Doesn't it feel cramped?"

Halfway through, Wu Xie couldn't help but complain.

"The red-haired lion is robust, all muscle, with an incredibly low body fat percentage. You're just truly fat!"

"Look, your tummy is showing."

"I'm not trying to be mean, Wu Xie, but you're the sole heir of the third generation of the Wu family. You don't even know a fraction of the skills the older generation used to make a living, and on top of that, your physical condition is really that bad?"

Xiao Hua glanced up at Wu Xie's belly, which was exposed because his clothes had been lifted up due to friction, and gave him a look of disgust.

Is this guy really the third-generation heir of the Wu family, one of the Nine Gates?
If Xiaohua hadn't known that this guy had already visited quite a few large tombs, she would have really mistaken him for an ordinary, overweight young man.

So, the Wu family's trump card isn't Fifth Master's nose, but rather the cunning and shrewdness of Wu Sansheng and Wu Erbai, right?
Thinking of this, Xiao Hua looked at Wu Xie with a thoughtful expression.

"Stop looking, I'm going to go to the gym and lose weight when I get back. Damn it, I'm supposed to be a brainy person, why do I need a strong body?"

Wu Xie's face darkened, and he stammered.

To be honest, in terms of physical fitness, Wu Xie believes he is much better than office workers.

Not to mention the Dogecoin authors sitting in front of their computers typing away.

But the problem is, every time they travel together, isn't their companion an agile individual?
A fat guy? He's a nimble fat guy though!
Without comparison, there's no harm done!
"Workout? You said the same thing half a year ago, and look what happened. You're still a bit overweight now." "After things are over here, go find Black Bear. He has a unique way of teaching students. Of course, you know Black Bear's character. Prepare enough money."

Hu Ming rolled his eyes slightly. People are lazy at heart.

"He also enjoys teaching? I didn't realize!"

Wu Xie asked in surprise.

When we met last time, I never would have guessed that Hei Xiazi was the kind of person who liked to preach.

"He doesn't enjoy teaching students; he enjoys making money!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Ming and Xiao Hua, who were above and below, affirmed in unison.

"...That makes sense, it does seem to be true."

Wu Xie recalled his time with Hei Xiazi in the ancient kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West, nodded, and found himself unable to refute it.

To be honest, Wu Xie sometimes wondered if, given enough money, Hei Xiazi would even be willing to abandon his principles.
Thinking about it carefully, it's not impossible, is it?

"Besides liking money, this guy also likes to take in godsons. Actually, once they become friends, Hei Xiazi is quite loyal."

Xiao Hua chuckled softly and said calmly.

After Xiao Hua's first collaboration with Hei Xiazi, the two developed a strong liking for each other. Embarrassingly, before they parted, Hei Xiazi asked her this question...
Little Flower, would you be interested in being my son?
To be honest, Xiaohua is very sensible at her age. She's more than capable of being a father, let alone a grandfather.

But looking at Hei Xiazi's young face and his half-smiling mouth, Xiao Hua almost couldn't resist punching him to death!
Does this guy think he's Whitebeard?
However, both Xiao Hua and Hu Ming were fully aware of the truth.

This was merely a perverse pastime used by the bear to kill time during long, boring hours.

If we're really friends, Hei Xiazi is definitely the most reliable one!
"arrive!"

Just then, Xiaohua's feet suddenly touched the ground.

As they spoke, the three of them had already descended to the depths of the cave.

The structure at the bottom of the entire iron pan is so complex that it is difficult to describe in words.

Fortunately, Hu Ming here has inherited the Mo family's mastery of mechanical arts.

The working mechanism of the entire organization is immediately apparent.

The bearings of the iron disc have many iron teeth that can be opened fully by the rotation of the iron disc.

There were countless iron rings all around, which were connected to intricate chains that led to some unknown place on one side of these stone chambers.

"...It is obvious that the number of rings and the angle at which the iron disc is rotated will affect the chains that the iron teeth hook onto, and the mechanisms that are activated will be completely different."

"There are at least a hundred combinations here, and we need to keep going to get the most accurate answer."

Hu Ming turned on the light and looked at the inclined shaft in front of him.

The chains extend through the chain, and the sound of flowing water can be heard from within.
