Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 813 The Resurrected Skeleton!
Soon, after making preparations, Hu Ming entered the pool alone once again.

The pool remained calm at this moment. Following the direction Li Si pointed out, Hu Ming swam directly to the place where he saw many coffins.

When Hu Ming arrived in front of the coffins, he discovered that next to each coffin stood a person in armor, seemingly guarding the coffins.

Fortunately, those people had already turned into skeletons, but even so, Hu Ming could still feel a murderous aura emanating from them.

To prevent any accidents from happening, Hu Ming silently drew his knife and then moved closer to get a better look.

However, before Hu Ming could even get close to the coffins, countless bone-eating worms instantly clung to a skeleton.

When the bone-eating worms attached themselves to the skeleton, the skeleton instantly began to move, as if it had come to life.

With the added disguise of the bone-eating worms, the skeleton appeared to be a resurrected soldier.

Just as Hu Ming was watching the skeleton being afflicted by the bone-eating worms, the skeleton also raised a sword and charged directly at him.

Perhaps because the bone-eating worms move quickly underwater, the skeleton, with the help of the worms, quickly rushed to Hu Ming's front.

Before Hu Ming could even react, the resurrected skeleton slashed down with its sword.

Seeing the sword about to fall on him, Hu Ming dodged it by sidestepping.

The next second, Hu Ming suddenly swung his knife and slashed directly at the skeleton.

The skeleton didn't even have a chance to attack again before Hu Ming cleaved it in two with a single stroke.

Although the skeleton was shattered by Hu Ming, the bone-eating worms did not die.

At this moment, the bone-eating worms attached themselves to another skull, repeating the same process.

Meanwhile, the bone-eating worms seemed to have summoned more companions, so much so that several more skeletons began to move.

It was only then that Hu Ming remembered what Li Si had said earlier.

Clearly, the shadow that Li Si saw was most likely the skeleton controlled by the bone-eating worms.

"A mere insect, trying to block my way?"

Hu Ming clearly didn't want to waste too much time here, so he quickly slashed his own palm with the knife in his hand.

When the knife in his hand cut his palm, blood gushed out directly from it.

When Hu Ming's blood appeared in the water, the skeletons controlled by the bone-eating worms began to retreat.

Clearly, the bone-eating worms had an inexplicable fear of Hu Ming's blood, so much so that they quickly abandoned the skeletons and fled.

After using his own blood to drive away the bone-eating worms, Hu Ming finally got close to the coffins.

However, when Hu Ming looked inside the coffins, he discovered that they contained bronze swords.

"Why use coffins to bury swords instead of people? What kind of logic is that?"

Hu Ming was clearly confused about what was inside the coffin, but just as he was frowning, a coffin in the middle of the coffins caught his attention.

The reason that coffin caught Hu Ming's attention was because its material was clearly different from other coffins.

Hu Ming could tell the unique features of the coffin almost at a glance.

Hu Ming quickly moved closer to the coffin, and as he got closer, the Mother Stone's reaction became increasingly intense.

Sensing the mother stone's reaction, Hu Mingyue became increasingly curious about what was inside the coffin.

However, just when Hu Ming thought that the unusual coffin would contain something different, the reality disappointed him.

Hu Ming was disappointed because this unusual coffin also contained a sword. However, this sword was slightly heavier than the others.

Just as Hu Ming was staring blankly at the bronze sword, a notch on the hilt finally caught his attention.

Clearly, this sword is incomplete; it appears to be missing a part.

As for what exactly was missing, Hu Ming didn't know either.

To find out, Hu Ming simply reached out and took the sword out of the coffin.

However, it would have been better if he hadn't picked it up. When Hu Ming picked up the sword, the coffins around him suddenly began to rotate.

Seeing this, Hu Ming frowned. The next second, just as Hu Ming was caught off guard, the coffins began to crash into him.

"Oh no! Has this triggered a mechanism?"

As Hu Ming pondered this, he began to float upwards...

However, before Hu Ming could float a great distance, dozens of corpse-locking vines reached out towards him.

Judging from this posture, it's almost as if they're going to lock Hu Ming underwater.

Of course, Hu Ming wouldn't surrender without a fight. So, in the next second, Hu Ming swung his sword and dagger and began to hack at the corpse-locking vines.

The corpse-locking vines were no match for Hu Ming's slashing attacks, and their rhythm was quickly disrupted.

When the corpse-locking vines were cut, the liquid within them instantly spread out in the water.

Seeing the liquid spread and instantly turn the surrounding water black, Hu Ming had a bad feeling.

"These vines contain corpse poison!"

Based on his extensive experience, Hu Ming also discovered the strangeness of those vines.

Therefore, to avoid poisoning, Hu Ming had no choice but to float to the surface quickly.

Countless bubbles were now forming on the water's surface, and Li Si, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but feel nervous upon seeing this.

However, just as Li Si was ready to make his move, Hu Ming suddenly burst out of the water.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

As soon as Hu Ming broke out of the water, he coughed loudly, clearly struggling to hold his last breath.

"Master Hu! You're finally up here! I was so worried about you!"

Seeing Hu Ming emerge from the water, Li Si hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

As Li Si helped Jiang Nan up, Hu Ming didn't forget to drop the long sword he had just picked up onto the ground.

"Phew! That was close! I almost couldn't make it up!"

Hu Ming sat down on the open ground next to him, panting heavily.

While Hu Ming took the opportunity to rest, Li Si, who was standing nearby, also began to examine the sword on the ground.

This bronze sword is much longer and heavier than the one he brought with him; they're clearly not in the same league.

If the sword he brought earlier was for a soldier, then the one Hu Ming brought back was definitely a general's sword.

"Why is a piece of this sword missing?"

After carefully examining the sword that Hu Ming had brought, Li Si also noticed something was amiss!
