Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 607 Unexpected Changes
"It's okay, Su Nan. Look quickly. There are two roads here. Which one leads to the deeper part?"

Boss Ma shook his head, looked at the fork in front of him, and asked anxiously.

Compared with Hu Ming and Wu Xie, whose backgrounds are unknown, Boss Ma trusts Su Nan more because he knows them well.

What's more, in the dangerous situation just now, at the critical moment, Su Nan immediately let Boss Ma escape first, which made Boss Ma trust Su Nan even more.

Both passages were deep and dark. The flashlight could not reach the end, and it was impossible to make a judgment with the naked eye.

"I do not know."

Su Nan tried hard to figure it out for a moment, but finally answered helplessly.

She was trained to be good at fighting, hiding, and acting.
Everyone has something they are not good at. Not everyone is a genius or a jack of all trades.

"This way!"

Hu Ming took a step forward and pointed to the passage on the left and spoke softly.

Speaking of tomb robbing, no no no, it's tomb archaeology, isn't he a professional?
Archaeology professor!
"you sure?"

Su Nan said suspiciously.

After all, Hu Ming hadn't done anything since he came here! How could he identify the passage?
"Trust me, I'm a professional after all."

Hu Ming pointed at his slightly trembling earlobe, too lazy to explain further, and called Wu Xie and Li Cu to walk to the left passage.

"Sister, what should we do now?"

Eleven and Lao Mai came up to Su Nan and asked.

Su Nan looked at Boss Ma.

"Just follow him. As a professor of archaeology at a famous college, I think he's quite capable. We can just come down again."

Boss Ma gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

Although he didn't trust Hu Ming very much, at this time, if he took the wrong path, he would just have to go out and come back again.

If Hu Ming is right, then there is a lot of time and effort left.

Thinking of the treasure he had been longing for day and night, Boss Ma's heart was burning with excitement.

Hope is just around the corner!
This passage was very long, so long that it made everyone except Hu Ming and Wu Xie feel deeply uneasy!
The dark and narrow passage twisted and turned, spiraling downward. After walking for a full half hour, I still couldn't see the end.

"Professor Hu, are you sure that the deeper part of the underground palace is just ahead? You intellectuals are just playing tricks!"

"If I find out you're playing tricks on us, I'll make you pay!"

The old man's limited patience was completely worn out, and he said impatiently.

"Old man, shut up!"

Su Nan sighed helplessly and scolded this troublesome subordinate.

Intellectuals, Hu Ming?
Has he forgotten Hu Ming's strange tricks before?
"..."

"If you are impatient and don't want to go on, turn around. The exit is another passage. Bye!"

Hu Ming glanced at Lao Mai expressionlessly and was too lazy to say anything more.

“…Wu…Wu Wu” Li Cu’s claustrophobia became more serious. His voice began to tremble and his brain was not as responsive as before.

"What are you crying about? Why are you crying as a grown man? Aren't you ashamed?"

Wu Xie hit Li Cu on the back of the head, stopping him from speaking further.

"I mean, Boss Guan, I really can't take it anymore. I'm really scared. If I continue in this environment, I'm really going to collapse!"

Li Cu reacted, crossed his arms over his chest and spoke tremblingly.

It’s not that he is timid, but Li Cu’s childhood experiences have made him delicate and sensitive. In this environment, the psychological shadow has once again covered his body.

My mind is filled with memories of being locked in a small tool room by my father when I was a child.

For a moment, Li Cu's fear of darkness and small spaces was magnified to the maximum.

"Don't worry, I like you very much. Since I brought you out, I will definitely bring you back safely... Of course, the premise is that you must be obedient!"

Wu Xie sighed helplessly, but finally softened his heart. He put his arm around Li Cu's shoulders and comforted him softly.

"We're here, look ahead."

At this moment, the view ahead suddenly opened up, the space became wider, and along with Hu Ming's voice came a misty hall. In the mist, a large number of rotten, dry bodies of soldiers holding spears stood quietly, and dry tree roots hung from the beams of the roof.

"call"

"Could these be the city lord's soldiers? Were they buried here with the city lord after his death?"

Regardless of the eerie feeling brought by the large number of mummies, Li Cu breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with these dead things, the psychological shadow was more terrifying.

"So, these soldiers are here to protect the Underworld Palace?"

"That's good news. Since there are soldiers guarding it, there must be something precious inside. What I want must be in the deepest part!"

Boss Ma's expression became more and more heated. He pushed the old man aside and walked tremblingly up the stairs going down.

"Laomai, Eleven, follow Boss Ma! Don't let anything happen to him!"

Su Nan frowned, very dissatisfied with Boss Ma's reckless actions.

Even an outsider like her could see that this low-lying area surrounded by clouds and mist was not simple!
"…For your sake, big sister, and for the sake of the commission!"

Lao Mai suppressed his dissatisfaction with Boss Ma, and he and Shiyi stood on both sides of Boss Ma, walking carefully into the clouds.

"Uncle Ming, is there something wrong?"

Wu Xie didn't care about Li Cu who had temporarily recovered a lot, and couldn't help asking as he looked at Hu Ming who was frowning.

When it comes to unknown dangers, Hu Ming's premonition is like foreknowledge of the future!
When Hu Ming showed this expression, it meant that something bad had happened!
"Not sure! These mummies are not good..."

Hu Ming murmured in a low voice.

As far as I can remember, there should be some skulls here, not complete mummies!
Moreover, there seems to be a kind of spore living here. After it gets on the body of an organism, it quickly takes root and sprouts, using the organism as a breeding ground!
This is a pretty painful way to die!
However, Hu Ming's intuition told him that there was danger here, but the source of the danger was not something scientific like spores!
But a kind of.
"Sure enough, there is something wrong with these mummies!"

At this time, Lao Mai, Eleven, and Boss Ma had already arrived at the center of the clouds and passed through the mummies.

Suddenly, there were waves of terrifying noises coming from all around!!!
crunch
The multiple mummies suddenly moved!
The dry and astringent joints turned in front of everyone's horrified gaze. All the mummies' heads were spinning, and their hollow, dark eye sockets were fixed on Boss Ma and the other two who were deep in the mist!
