Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 565 It seems your ancestor can't wait any longer!

Hu Ming exhaled a smoke ring and simply smiled at the young man's warning.

To be honest, the guy is now completely covered in heavy clothing, with almost no skin showing, and he looks disheveled, a far cry from his previous cool and aloof image.

For a moment, Wu Xie and Fatty didn't recognize Xiao Ge at all.

The two men, slightly panicked, rummaged through the pile of corpses, searching for the one that might belong to the young man.

And Xiaohua.
Xiao Hua stared at Huo Xiangu's corpse with a hint of sorrow in her eyes, remaining silent for a long time.

"He's alive, don't worry, I'll wake him up right away."

Hu Ming chuckled as he looked at Wu Xie and Fatty, who had suddenly realized what was happening and surrounded him. He stubbed out his cigarette and stood up to stretch.

The young man's current situation is rather special; he is in a state similar to suspended animation, or more precisely, a special state of "turtle breathing."

Hu Ming also knew this special technique, but it was different from what Xiao Ge and the Zhang family had exchanged ideas about. Therefore, Hu Ming was particularly familiar with the Zhang family's most advanced level of Turtle Breathing Technique.

To make the young man look more like a corpse, Hu Ming removed the extra heavy clothing from his body and used special techniques to pat him repeatedly.

The hidden force used a special method to continuously stimulate the young man's almost stagnant blood vessels, accelerating blood circulation and restoring bodily functions.

This was no easy task. It took Hu Ming a full five minutes to finally let out a long breath and wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough!!!"

At the same time, the young man opened his slightly dim eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air that had been suppressed in his chest, and became fully awake.

"Silent One, you son of a bitch..."

Seeing this, Wu Xie and Fatty breathed a sigh of relief, their panic and worry completely dissipated, and a look of joy appeared on their faces.

As long as people are alive, that's enough.

"You shouldn't have come in, or rather, you came at the worst possible time. This is the worst possible time. The 'thing' in the deepest part of the underground palace has been unintentionally awakened by us."

"Also, Hu Ming, you should be able to hear the ever-increasing sound of the Mituo, as well as the sounds of the mechanisms activating the final defenses deep within the ancient building."

The young man took the water Hu Ming handed him, took a small sip, regained some of his energy, and spoke in his usual indifferent manner.

"I can hear you, but don't worry, since I dared to come in looking for you, I'm confident I can take you back. And how did you manage to mess things up this time!"

Hu Ming smiled nonchalantly. As a time-traveler who had thoroughly read the original novel, how could he not know the dangers hidden within the Zhang Family Ancient Building?
Whether it's the known or the unknown, Hu Ming now has enough confidence to face all these dangers head-on.

Without three points and three lives, how dare you go to Liangshan?
"Let's go. Now is not the time for reminiscing. We really don't have much time left. We can forget about the monster that has awakened, but the Zhang family's last defense system is really a headache."

"Even I was somewhat helpless and could only take the opportunity to slip away."

Hu Ming hoisted the young man onto his back and addressed the three men, each with their own thoughts.

"it is good!"

Xiao Hua responded softly, not minding the dirt, and with Wu Xie's help, she carried Huo Xiangu's body down first.

And the fat man.
While the group was queuing up to go down, he swept a dozen or so paintings and calligraphy pieces, which inevitably had some blood and excrement on them, into his arms.

Even so, before leaving, he looked at the calligraphy and paintings that he couldn't take with him with him, still reluctant to part with them.

Even a fool could see that the calligraphy and paintings so treasured by the Zhang family were priceless!
Hu Ming rolled his eyes in exasperation, too lazy to say anything.

If Fatty manages to bring these fragile treasures back intact, then Hu Ming will consider himself to have lost!
However, Hu Ming was the last to leave. Under the indifferent gaze of the young man, he walked around the secret room once, and with a wave of his hand, countless paintings and calligraphy that the fat man could not take disappeared into thin air.

"This is a technique of the Five Ghosts Moving Money!"

Before leaving, Hu Ming said to the young man without changing his expression.

"Ah."

"If you say so, I'll believe you." The young man's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

He had seen Hu Ming's miraculous methods the most, and his love of money was nothing new to him.

"You've regained your memory?"

Hu Ming glanced at the bracelet on the young man's wrist, which had lost its glow and become simple and unadorned, and asked casually.

"Zhang Qiling's amnesia is the most severe among all the clansmen, and in the later stages, it can flare up at any time."

"These silver bracelets were specially made for the Zhang family."

"The strange material gives it a special function. In addition to suppressing the process of zombie transformation, its greatest function is to suppress Zhang Qiling's soul loss to the greatest extent."

The young man was open and honest, revealing everything he knew without reservation, and didn't mind sharing the Zhang family's secrets with Hu Ming.

"not bad."

Hu Ming said with a smile.

"Uncle Ming, here's the problem: the road we came on has completely collapsed. How are we going to get back?"

Seeing Hu Ming and Xiao Ge jump down, Wu Xie asked worriedly.

Now, they have achieved their main objectives.

Fatty and Little Brother were safe and sound, and Little Flower also found Huo Xiangu's remains. Mission accomplished.

Perhaps there are still some secrets hidden inside the Zhang Family Ancient Building, but there is no time to explore them now.

Xiao Ge never exaggerates, and Wu Xie took the warning he received upon waking to heart.

They knew that this ancient building also contained great danger.

Even Brother Hu Ming was helpless in the face of this danger.

No matter how strong one's curiosity may be, it is insignificant compared to the safety of everyone's lives.

"Go downstairs, to the first floor, through the underground palace. At the end of the underground palace, there is a passage leading to the outside world."

"I need about ten minutes to adjust my state regarding that thing down there, but with Hu Ming's help, it shouldn't be a big problem."

The young man glanced at the black knife that belonged to him at Hu Ming's waist and said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of heavy footsteps sounded again from below.

"Hey buddy, looks like your ancestor can't wait any longer. He's practically telling us to hurry up and go down!"

Hu Ming chuckled to himself.

"It's just a dead man. The Zhang family's thousands of years of planning and schemes have completely failed. What has awakened is not the Zhang family's ancestor, but a monster."

The young man smiled calmly, not taking it to heart.

As they spoke, the group nimbly retraced their steps and arrived at the lobby on the first floor.

Guided by the young man, the group arrived at a bronze pillar in a secluded corner of the lobby on the first floor.

Unlike other pillars, this one is covered with Pixiu-style patterns.

Strangely, the scales of these Pixiu are actually the same as those of a Qilin.

Just then, Hu Ming's eyes widened as he looked towards the half-open gate of the ancient building.

Suddenly, countless dim yellow lights illuminated the ancient road outside the gate!
Upon closer inspection, they were clearly the hands of predators, their expressions radiating savagery!
