Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 734 Peeping!

"This is not a human skin figurine. This is a strange insect that became extinct during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty - the green fly!"

"It's clear that Qingxie has been transformed into a human form!"

The young man's face changed and he accurately captured the bulge on the leather figurine's face.

"I have read relevant ancient books and unofficial historical legends. Because of its characteristics, this thing was transformed into a human form by the ancients to harm people..."

"According to what you said, there must be something fishy going on with this thing that strangely followed Wu Xie up from below. Wu Xie is probably right in his guess. It has something to do with that unlucky thing Qi Yu and Wu Sanxing."

Seeing Hu Ming rushing over at the first moment, the blind man felt relieved, sheathed his dagger, and pinched his chin thoughtfully.

"I won't hide one thing from you. The reason why Third Brother doesn't trust me is probably because compared to your industry, I am only half an insider at most, right?"

"Compared to my scheming second brother, Xiao Xie, my nephew who was brought into this industry by him, is more reliable..."

Wu Erbai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hu Ming accurately cut open the large byt leather figurine that had wrapped Wu Xie, revealing the intact Wu Xie.

"The third brother meant to tell Xiao Xie all the clues he knew and asked me to help Xiao Xie find the life-saving place hidden in the mist of history."

Wu Erbai arrived in silence.

This is the difference between Wu Sanxing and Wu Erbai!
When it comes to Wu Xie's affairs, Wu Sanxing's attitude is: I'll tell you the clues, but you must be extra careful and check and find them yourself.

Wu Erbai said, "Just stand here and don't move. I'll go buy it for you. Once I've figured out everything, found that place, and cleared all the dangers, I'll take you there."

The three brothers of the Wu family are all smart in their own way. Or, as expected of being the offspring of Master Wu, each of them is as smart as a devil.

Even Wu Yiqiong, who likes to cry when something happens.

Ever since he was old enough to understand, Wu Yiqiong knew what he should do. Every time, he silently watched his two younger brothers shoulder the burden and find a way to survive among a group of ruthless old foxes.

He never tried to dissuade others, nor did he attempt to shoulder these burdens that he absolutely could not touch beyond his ability.

Even his own son Wu Xie.

Thirteen years ago, when Wu Xie was taken to the Qixing Palace by Wu Sanxing, Wu Yiqiong had been following quietly behind him and seeing him off.

Even though he knew his son would live a life worse than death, even though he was so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe, even though he cried alone in the study for the entire day after Wu Xie left.

But he knew that this was the cruel fate that the Wu family had to face. It was already predetermined and no one could escape it.

Without hurting Wu Xie at all, Hu Ming's knife flashed in his hand and he easily cut the human skin and the green flies awakened by the blood and thunder into pieces.

Wu Xie, who was almost suffocated, gasped for air, not bothering to wipe the blood from his mouth and nose. Fear and fear appeared in his eyes for the first time in a long time, as well as the desire for life.

No matter how enlightened a person is and how he can face the inevitable death calmly, when he actually faces death, his most primitive fear will still be awakened.

Pah…

As everyone watched, a long black strip fell to the ground from the west.

This is what Wu Xie saw in the green fly under the illumination of lightning.

This is a dried tongue.

A human tongue.

The tongue is actually like beef jerky. The human tongue is actually very long, and a large part of it is in the throat. If it is pulled out, it will be like a piece of tenderloin.

This tongue doesn't look like something from thousands of years ago.

Just make a rough judgment and you will know that this thing.

It was wrapped in rags torn from clothing in the style of the last century, which had not yet completely rotted.

In other words, this thing was left behind by Wu Sanxing and the archaeological team when they entered the underground palace of the King of the South China Sea half a century ago, before the incident in the Paracel Islands happened.

After a brief thought, Hu Ming remembered something, and threw his tongue to Wu Xie in the face of Wu Xie's fearful and disgusted gaze. "This thing is probably left behind by your uncle's team, or maybe Qi Yu? I know almost everything, but I'm not interested. It's up to you whether you want it or not!"

Hu Ming said this casually. He did not intend to explain. Instead, he closed his eyes, listened for a moment, and then said: "The time has come. It's finally here."

After that, regardless of everyone's strange expressions, he walked out in the rain with a knife in hand, without even opening an umbrella. In a few jumps, he jumped onto the roof and stared blankly at the center of the village.

"what!"

The mute girl finally came to her senses after a series of strange situations. She screamed, quickly found an umbrella in the house and chased after him.

If you get caught in this kind of rainstorm, you will catch a cold and get sick.

“….She’s a good girl.”

"Where's Hu Ming?"

Wu Erbai looked at the back of the mute girl chasing after him, and changed the subject, asking in confusion.

"There was movement in the village, a big movement with many people."

Although the young man and the blind man were not as sharp-eyed and sharp-eared as Hu Ming, they were still extraordinary people. The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and they could hear it.

Wu Erbai and the others looked at each other, instinctively realized that something was wrong, and rushed out following the blind man and the young man.

Wu Xie, who had just coughed up blood, ignored the obstruction and didn't even bother to change his clothes. He rushed out under the care of Fatty.

After leaving the room, they walked in the direction Hu Ming left for a few minutes. Finally, amid the sound of heavy rain, everyone heard a hint of unusual movement.

At this time, Hu Ming was already in sight. He was sitting cross-legged on a roof. The mute girl was holding an umbrella for Hu Ming with one hand, covering her mouth and looking towards the center of the village.

With a sinking feeling in their hearts, the group did not care about anything else and quickly climbed onto the nearby roofs to look at the open space in the center of the village.

It's already four o'clock in the morning, with thunder and lightning and heavy rain. Anyone with a normal mind would not choose to go out at this time.

At this time, the center of the village was densely packed with people. Judging from the size of the crowd, most of the people in the entire village had come here.

Even more bizarre is
All of these villagers rolled their eyes, their heads drooped to the side, their right ears pointed toward the sky, as if they had lost their self-awareness. Following the instructions of some inexplicable will, they gathered spontaneously in the center of the village. Listening to the thunder!
"Look carefully at their team formation!"

Hu Ming stared at the crowd below without blinking, and lowered his voice to a level just loud enough for Wu Erbai and others to hear.

It's as if he's afraid of being heard by someone.

Somehow, at the moment the thunderstorm began, Hu Ming's intuition sensed a... vague sense of being watched.

This feeling came from the sky, from the dark clouds, and from the thunder! It seemed that along with the thunder, there was an invisible huge eye in the gloomy sky paying attention to this place, conveying some kind of information, and the villagers of the Dumb Village were listening to this information.

This feeling of being at a loss was so overwhelming that even Hu Ming felt a little nauseous.

"formation?"

Following Hu Ming's suggestion, Wu Erbai and others frowned and observed carefully through the rain.

The formation of the villagers behaving strangely was indeed a bit strange. They were not just standing there in a random gathering. Instead, these people seemed to have formed a huge strange shape.

It’s just that Wu Erbai and others couldn’t figure out this graph for a while, they just felt that this graph seemed very important.

"and many more!"

"The formation of the villagers. The seven ears of the corpse of the King of the South Sea!"

Wu Xie, Fatty and the Blind Brother, who had seen the corpse of the King of the South China Sea with their own eyes, looked at each other, their faces changed and they roared in a low voice.

"It is not a rumor but a fact that the villagers of this dumb village can hear and understand the message in the thunder."

"Is there really some mysterious power in the thunder that conveys a message that only certain people can understand? Is that interesting, Thor?"

Hu Ming concluded softly, with a smile on his face!
