Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 811 The Fourth Brother is still alive?

Hu Ming was clearly surprised by the man's remarkable resilience, so he quickly took out some emergency medication from his backpack and began treating the man.

Fortunately, the man's injuries were not serious, so his condition quickly stabilized.

After Hu Ming finished bandaging the man, he was also at a loss about what to do with him.

If we leave him here, he will still die.

Hu Ming guessed that it wouldn't be long before those man-eating giant lizards would follow the scent back, and by then it would be too late.

Originally, this person's life or death was none of Hu Ming's business, but since he had encountered it, Hu Ming couldn't bear to stand idly by.

Just as Hu Ming was having some trouble, the man suddenly sat up from the ground, which really surprised Hu Ming.

"Where am I?"

As soon as the man sat up, he spoke decisively, but his voice was slightly hoarse, as if something was blocking his throat.

"Who are you! Did Yao send you to kill me?"

After a brief pause, the man suddenly saw Hu Ming in front of him, and immediately became alert.

At the same time, his entire body tensed up instantly, as if he were ready to strike at any moment.

Not far away, Hu Ming also frowned.

"Don't get agitated! I'm not one of Yao Ming's people! Are you very close to Yao Ming?"

Hu Ming also became somewhat curious, as the person in front of him seemed to know Yao Da.

What Hu Ming couldn't understand was how, since he knew Yao Da, he could have been used as a sacrifice to feed the human monitor lizard.

"Hmph! That damned Yao Da! I'll fight him to the death!"

The man actually stood up from the ground as he spoke, as if he were completely unharmed, which really opened Hu Ming's eyes.

To be honest, apart from Hu Ming himself, he had never seen anyone with such an amazing physique.

"Where is Yao Da? Where is he? Damn it! I went through all that trouble to get this map! And he wants to keep it all for himself!"

"Even if the King of Heaven himself came, I'd still kill him! If I don't kill him, I'm not Li Si!"

The man became even more agitated, clearly harboring deep hatred for Yao.

However, just as the man let out a roar, Hu Ming caught a glimpse of information.

"Li Si? Wait! Could you be the fourth brother from Yao Da's gang who died?"

At this moment, Hu Ming also recalled his conversation with Yao Da, at which time Yao Da had mentioned that Lao Si was dead.

Hu Ming naturally wouldn't delve into such matters, since Yao Da and the others were probably using aliases, so it didn't matter whether he knew or not.

However, at that moment, when the man introduced himself as Li Si, Hu Ming also became interested in him.

"That's right! I'm Yao Da's sworn brother! The fourth one in line, Li Si!"

"Damn it! That guy didn't even care about brotherhood just to pocket the pay for this fieldwork! Do you know where he is? I'm going to kill him!"

As Li Si spoke, he picked up a stone from the ground, looking as if he wanted to flatten Yao Da with the stone the moment Yao Da appeared.

Just as Li Si was getting excited, Hu Ming finally pointed to the depths of the cave.

"They should be preparing to enter the Sword Tomb now!"

As Hu Ming spoke, he began packing his belongings, then slung them over his shoulder. "If you want to find Yao Da, come with me to the Hanging Sword Tomb! You don't seem to have anything to do anyway! Staying here will only make you food for those giant man-eating lizards!"

As Hu Ming spoke, he pointed to the dead giant lizard on the ground.

It was only then that Li Si finally came to his senses, especially when he saw that the giant man-eating lizard had been disemboweled, and he remembered everything that had happened before.

"Did you kill this monitor lizard? Did you pull me out of its belly?"

As Li Si spoke, he followed Hu Ming directly into the depths of the cave.

"I dug it out! What, is there a problem?"

Hu Ming replied.

"No problem! You're my savior! I, Li Si, always repay kindness. How about this, I'll take you to the Hanging Sword Tomb! Any good stuff there is yours! I only want Yao Da! What do you say?"

"Without me, I guarantee you'd never leave this cave in your entire life! It's incredibly complicated inside!"

As Li Si spoke, he looked intently at Hu Ming, seemingly waiting for his reaction.

As for Hu Ming, he was really unfamiliar with the specific situation of the Suspended Sword Tomb, so having Li Si, who was familiar with the area, to lead the way saved him a lot of trouble.

Hu Ming quickly agreed to Li Si's request, and the two began to cooperate.

Meanwhile, in the following days, Hu Ming also learned more about Yao Da and his group from Li Si. It turned out that Li Si had been here with the expedition team before.

In the end, he was the only one who escaped, thanks to his exceptional physical condition.

When he got back, he immediately told Yao Da about it.

This gave Yao Da the leverage to negotiate with the backer, allowing him to raise the price several times over!
Seeing such a large reward, Yao Ziran was extremely envious, but for Li Si, who had escaped death, this cave was simply a nightmare.

He had no desire to return to this place, so when he learned that Yao Da was planning to cooperate with the backer, he voiced his opposition.

However, Yao Da wouldn't let so much money slip by, so he quickly used threats and inducements to get his brothers to attack Li Si.

This led to the events surrounding the sacrificial offerings.

If Hu Ming and Li Si knew that Yao Da was willing to sacrifice even Pan Wu's life to save his own, they would definitely think even more that Yao Da was ruthless and cruel.

As time passed, while Hu Ming and Li Si continued deeper into the cave, Yao Da and his group also quickly ventured into the cave according to the map.

However, without someone familiar like Li Si to guide them, Yao Da and his team did not make good progress.

On several occasions, they even encountered cave collapses and nearly lost their lives.

Fortunately, the blind man was a very experienced veteran, so they eventually got through the ordeal without any real danger.

"The situation inside this cave is too complicated! Don't act on your own! Otherwise, I won't be able to save you!"

The blind man was now at the very front of the group, effectively becoming Yao Da and his companions' protective charm.

"Yes, yes, yes! You're right! I was blind to your greatness before! Please forgive me!"

Yao Da now wore a forced smile, his previous repulsive demeanor completely gone.

However, those familiar with Yao Ming know that this smiling tiger is not so kind.

The reason they were being so friendly at this moment was simply because the blind man was skilled.

The blind man, of course, saw Yao Ming's true colors, but he ignored him.

In the blind man's view, all he needed to do was wait for Hu Ming to appear; he didn't care about anything else!
