Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 705 Mudslide!
Next, under the blind man's movement, the thing definitely couldn't hold back and showed up.

"I'm not surprised that this thing is so unresponsive to teasing. After all, this damn place is stagnant water. For so many years, there has been no living thing to serve as food. What surprises me most is that it can still survive."

"But then again, what kind of weird creature is this that can survive after being hungry for more than ten years?"

Several people looked at each other, then simply sat down on the coffins and watched the blind men's fight. Hu Ming stroked his chin and muttered curiously.

"Someone should be feeding them regularly, right?"

"When Fatty and I arrived, we met a village chief who showed up at just the right time. It was hard not to think too much."

Wu Xie answered casually.

"What? That seemingly kind old man was actually arranged by someone with ulterior motives?"

The fat man realized it later and exclaimed in surprise.

"What's most surprising to us is that you haven't discovered this yet. Has the past ten years of peaceful life wiped out your vigilance?"

The young man shook his head and spoke in his usual cold tone.

"At a special time, a key figure of guidance appeared in a special place. It's hard not to think too much about it. However, you are wrong about one thing."

"That old man is not a person with ulterior motives. He is an NPC arranged by your third uncle to lead the way for you, the protagonist, and provide clues."

"This thing is definitely not something your Third Uncle sends people to feed regularly. I took a look when I came here, and the traces here show that it is our first wave of tourists in at least ten years."

Hu Ming added.

"I'm still the fourth disaster!"

Wu Xie rolled his eyes. Uncle Ming is obviously quite old, isn't he a little too trendy?
"Wow, this thing is a bit disgusting!"

Just then, the blind man's voice came from below.

While dodging the big prey with nimble movements, it threw up a cylindrical object covered in mud.

Perhaps it was out of malicious intent, as this thing came straight at Hu Ming's face.

"Depend on!"

Hu Ming let out a strange cry, exerted force with his legs, flipped in the air, and avoided the attacking hidden weapon.

You can smell the stench from a long distance away, okay?
"Nephew, pick it up quickly. Who knows, it might be an important clue. This might be what your uncle wanted you to find by guiding you here."

Finally, Hu Ming gave Wu Xie some advice with good intentions.

"..."

"Damn, I should have brought an extra pair of rubber gloves or plenty of clean water when I came here!"

Wu Xie's face turned green, and he had no choice but to accept his fate and do it.

Although the following things are tricky, they really don't arouse much interest in the eyes of people like Hu Ming.

While just speaking, the blind man had already easily eliminated the huge scaly aquatic creature that looked like a giant salamander.

The only regret is that it is covered with rotten mud, which looks disgusting.

Including the young man, several people covered their noses and stepped back.

"You're the ones who asked me to leave, and you're the ones who look down on me!?"

The blind man's mouth twitched. He threw away the gas mask and took a smell. Wow, it really stinks. He will have to take a bath ten times when he gets home.

"Okay, we've finished our business. The situation outside isn't good... Wu Xie, Fatty, I think before you came here, the village chief probably warned you that this is a landslide-prone area, right?"

Hu Ming pointed at the exit and said softly, "Uncle, you don't mean to say that a mudslide is about to happen here, do you?"

Of course Wu Xie understood what Hu Ming meant, and pointed at his ears and said firmly.

"No, to be exact, there is a mudslide happening in about three minutes. This place will be completely buried."

"You guys leave first. I still need to put these things away. As a professor who receives a salary from the government every month, I can't just watch these national treasures being buried by mudslides or even destroyed, right?"

Hu Ming grinned and described the terrible situation in a way that made several people shudder.

After all, under such a natural disaster, even Hu Ming and his friends were somewhat powerless. After all, no matter how powerful they were, they were just flesh and blood.

"Do you want help? I'm afraid you won't be able to make it in time."

The fat man rubbed his hands.

"What do you think?"

Hu Ming touched the stand of a chime with one hand, and it miraculously disappeared.

"Okay, then we'll retreat first. Uncle Ming, please try to be faster. It's always better to take less risks."

Wu Xie nodded, took the lead and quickly returned the same way!

While they were talking, they could already faintly hear the sound of a mudslide coming from the big bell.

None of them were the type to waste time, so they didn't stay for long and walked out directly.

Only the blind man looked at Hu Ming thoughtfully through his sunglasses before leaving.

It didn't take long for them to return to the road. At this time, the ground was almost flooded.

On the hilltop next to it, the shadow of the mudslide can be vaguely seen.

The good thing is that this place probably won't be affected by mudslides, but the bad thing is that the foundation nearby is collapsing rapidly.

Judging from the speed, it will soon reach here.

"Is there anything else down there?"

The young man came up to the blind man and asked quietly.

He noticed the look the blind man gave Hu Ming before he came up...even though he was wearing sunglasses.

"I'm not sure, but there are probably some other things. Before I went down, Hu Ming quietly made a gesture to me, saying that I shouldn't touch the things in the secret compartment on the side wall."

"But then again, Hu Ming is indeed a man who has inherited the art of mechanical engineering. He knew there was a secret compartment just by looking at it from above. I only discovered it after I went down and checked it carefully."

The blind man nodded.

"Oh."

The young man nodded in understanding.

Neither of them is a very curious person. If they don't know, then they don't know. What's the big deal?
It would be a disaster if Wu Xie and Fatty knew about this.

One is a curious baby, and not letting him know will torture him to death, and the other one...emm, it’s hard to describe.

Without letting the others wait any longer, when the ground collapse was about to affect here, Hu Ming showed a hint of joy on his face.

At the same time, surprisingly, the gloomy dark clouds that had been silent for most of the day suddenly lit up and flashed with lightning.

Later, rumbling thunder followed.
