Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 754: A swarm of zombies?

Due to the special geographical environment here, the only 100-meter-tall human skin statue has no signs of decay and looks lifelike.

But inevitably, the statue was covered with mottled sulfur shells.

"Hot spring..."

The fat man swallowed his saliva and couldn't help taking off his clothes. He pretended to jump. It must be very spectacular to see a fat dragon entering the water.

"Do you know what the water temperature is? What if you get boiled? Should we eat it or not?"

Wu Xie held his forehead and grabbed the fat man who was tempted.

"Hey, don't worry, I have hot pot ingredients here, spicy beef oil pot or three-fresh mushroom soup? Although I don't like the rich tomato soup very much, it's not impossible to have it once."

The blind man took out three packets of hot pot base from his treasure bag like magic, and his expression changed as he looked very expectant.

"Is this the point? You really want to eat Shabu-Shabu, you blind man? What did you learn abroad? The 108 dining habits of cannibals?"

The fat man's juhua tightened, and he was shocked instantly!
I treat you as my friend, but you want to eat me?
"No, okay?"

The blind man put away the hot pot base with regret, took out a box of green pepper and shredded pork fried rice, and squatted in the corner to eat silently.

Looking at his back, he looks somewhat aggrieved.

The fat guy really couldn't help but get angry.

"There's something down there!"

Hu Ming sighed. He really had no way to deal with this group of stupid friends. He threw a few more cold flames into the water to illuminate the situation.

"What the hell is that? A turtle?"

The fat man looked closely and saw a black shadow sticking out in the water. From a distance, the water below and the black shadow subtly formed a shape similar to an eye.

“This thing doesn’t feel like a whole, but a lot of things stacked together.”

The blind man who was eating green pepper and shredded pork fried rice came over, pushed up his sunglasses, and said affirmatively.

"The exciting part is coming again, friends, shall we grab some weapons?"

After thinking about it, the blind man carefully put away the half-eaten fried rice, picked up the knife and wanted to chop people.

Hu Ming didn't say anything. He just fastened the climbing rope he carried with him, turned over, left the stairs, and quickly descended.

In a blink of an eye, Hu Ming fell from a height of about 100 meters. His body swayed, and with a twist of his strong waist, he moved sideways several meters and landed on the stone beam in the central area.

At the same time, a few cold fireworks appeared in his hand and were thrown down.

At this point, even though the light of the cold flames was a little dim and could not illuminate the dark space, it was enough for a few people to see what was below.

The dark shadows in the water were clearly the bodies of countless young children floating in the water.

The bodies of these young children were all dressed in gorgeous clothes from ancient times. Their faces were yellow and blue. After being soaked in water for countless years, there was strangely no sign of decay, as if they were cast metal sculptures.

The bodies of the young children were piled up in the water in layers, so densely packed that it was difficult to count their exact number. It was estimated that there were at least thousands of bodies.

“The people who built this place are crazy.”

The few people who followed were silent, and the fat man's lips moved slightly.

These children looked to be between three or four and seven or eight years old. Anyone with a conscience would be filled with grief and indignation at this heartless scene. Undoubtedly, the bodies of these children had been specially treated. The bodies that had not been properly treated had already shrunk into a strange, skin-like empty sac, and the insides had already rotted away.

"Are they refining the elixir? These children are all dressed in fancy clothes, and the environment here looks like an elixir furnace... Are they refining the elixir using witchcraft?"

Wu Xie was silent.

"No, he's not making medicine. He's either feeding some troublesome creature in the water, or fishing..."

"Look carefully over there."

The light of the cold fireworks dimmed a little, so Hu Ming threw a few more down and pointed at the child's body.

"What?"

"Those could be tails?"

There were strange white ribbon-like things on the child's body that went deep into the spring water. The blind man pinched his chin, thinking.

"Tail? Come on, are they monkeys? With tails?"

"And look over there, isn't that a bridge?"

"I heard from some old Taoist priests in my hometown that when bridges were built, especially large bridges, boys were used to offer sacrifices to the bridges."

The fat man didn't believe it.

Looking closely, there was indeed an imperceptible shadow in the direction the fat man pointed. It really looked like a stone bridge, and there were black shadows on both sides, probably a cave or something.

"The tower is far from reaching its end. It is probably because groundwater was dug out here that the project was affected, so we changed direction and continued digging downwards through the stone bridge below..."

"In short, this bridge is indeed very useful, but it has nothing to do with these dead children..."

Hu Ming shook his head firmly.

No one knew what was in that person's mind, but he told almost all the information about this strange underground tower.

It would be fine if that person gave false information in order to take advantage of the opportunity to kill Hu Ming, but Hu Ming knew a little about this place and was well aware that the information that person gave was correct.

Honestly speaking, Hu Ming had no idea what that person was planning.

Why did they lead Hu Ming all the way to Pao's lair?
Just as several people were deep in thought, suddenly, something on the beam above their heads seemed to slowly wake up, and something fell off from above and fell into the spring water below, splashing water everywhere.

"So, trouble is coming... The guard dog is blocking the door to the lower level. How can we go down if we don't get rid of it..."

Hu Ming sighed, stood up, pulled the climbing rope hanging beside him, and climbed up in a few ups and downs.

On the stone pillar of the beam, which is above the head of the statue, hangs a huge bronze bell.

The thing that just fell into the water was dropped from the bronze bell.

The big bell is covered with layers of brocade yellow silk engraved with talismans. In such a strange environment, it is hard not to wonder whether something sinister is suppressed inside.

The bronze chain at the end of the bell was integrated into the stone beam, and it looked like there was no loose buckle or anything like that that could be removed.

The stone beam is even just an empty shell, with eleven layers of stone on the outside, but the inside is made of cast bronze. Not to mention the special environment here, the loud noise of the explosion will cause big trouble.

Hu Ming turned over and stepped onto the stone beam. After thinking for a while, he simply hooked his legs on the beam and hung upside down. A precious sword appeared in his hand, and a cold light flashed across it.

There was a sharp sound of metal cutting. The huge bronze bell fell down!
