Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 816 Gunshot
Speaking of dzi beads, Hu Ming only learned about them from similar beads he had acquired in the past.

Each dzi bead has different abilities. The dzi bead at the Crescent Moon Hotel helps people gather their energy and concentrate their mind, and can resist ordinary illusions. As for what exactly this dzi bead looks like and what its function is, Hu Ming doesn't know.

Seeing the black beads in the box, Hu Ming could only guess that this was what he was looking for.

However, just as Hu Ming's gaze was drawn to the black bead, the mother stone on his body suddenly floated up.

As the mother stone floated into the air, the black bead also began to float. Almost instantly, the two seemed to be attracted to each other and began to intertwine.

Not long after the mother stone and the dzi bead became entangled, the shape of the mother stone began to change.

In a short while, the mother stone and the dzi bead became intertwined, and soon the shape of the mother stone began to change.

In no time, under Hu Ming's watchful gaze, the mother stone transformed into a bead the same size as the black bead.

However, the beads formed from the mother stone were exceptionally vibrant in color, much more beautiful than the black beads.

"What's happening here?"

Seeing that the mother stone he knew best had turned into a bead, Hu Ming felt increasingly puzzled.

However, there was clearly no time for Hu Ming to figure out what was going on, because just as the mother stone turned into a bead, the giant rice dumpling finally caught up.

"Hu Ming, run!"

The blind man's voice came from behind.

Upon hearing the blind man's voice, Hu Ming didn't care about anything else and grabbed the two beads, then stuffed them into his pocket.

As for the empty box, seeing that the giant rice dumpling was chasing closely, Hu Ming simply picked up a small stone from the ground and put it into the box.

Then Hu Ming threw the box in his hand directly to the big zongzi.

And when the giant rice dumpling got the box, it finally stopped.

"Let's get out of here now!"

Seeing that the box had attracted the giant zongzi's attention, Hu Ming hurriedly pulled the blind man and ran outside the tomb.

Just as Hu Ming was pulling the blind man to escape from the tomb, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

Hearing that voice, Hu Ming frowned. Clearly, he didn't have time to worry about the system right now.

Knowing that if the giant zongzi discovered the box was empty, it would definitely chase after them again, so to avoid unnecessary trouble, Hu Ming and the blind man ran out of the Hanging Sword Tomb and headed straight for the cave.

Time passed, and it was unknown how long Hu Ming and the blind man had been running in the cave.

Just as the two were starting to catch their breath, the blind man finally couldn't help but stop.

"Hu Ming, this won't do! Let's take a break! I don't think that giant zombie can catch up. This cave system is interconnected! With its intelligence, it definitely won't be able to find us!"

After finishing his sentence, the blind man plopped down on the ground and began to gasp for breath.

Seeing this, Hu Ming had no choice but to stop. However, just as the two were about to stop and rest, a series of roars suddenly came from over.

Upon hearing the roar, Hu Ming and the blind man's expressions immediately changed.

"A man-eating monitor lizard! It really won't leave you alone!"

Hu Ming immediately recognized the man-eating monitor lizards from their voices. Just as Jiang Nan and the blind man were feeling somewhat helpless, dozens of man-eating monitor lizards appeared in their field of vision.

"Holy crap! So many! Run, Second Master! Otherwise we'll become their excrement!"

The blind man was horrified to see dozens of man-eating giant lizards.

Hu Ming also felt a bit troubled, so the two of them just exchanged a glance and then turned around and ran in his direction.

However, those man-eating giant lizards weren't about to let Hu Ming and the blind man go so easily. Seeing them flee, the lizards quickly gave chase. If the cave hadn't been so cramped and difficult to pursue, Hu Ming and the blind man would likely have had a real fight with them.

"Damn it! Why are these guys chasing us?! What were you doing in their hideout?!"

Just as Hu Ming and the blind man were running away, the blind man started complaining.

Upon hearing the blind man's words, Hu Ming suddenly realized what was going on and then took out the giant lizard egg from his backpack.

"I almost forgot! They might be here for this!"

As Hu Ming spoke, he tossed the giant lizard egg behind him.

Seeing Hu Ming throw the giant lizard egg out, the blind man's expression changed again.

"Damn it! You threw it away? That thing's broken, and that giant lizard will be even more furious with us! You're really making things worse!"

The blind man continued to complain, and just as he finished speaking, a series of rapid gunshots suddenly rang out from inside the cave.

Upon hearing the gunshot, Hu Ming and the blind man frowned.

"Huh? What's going on! It sounds like a submachine gun! I don't remember we had any of those when we came here!"

The blind man was also starting to have some doubts.

Unlike the blind man, Hu Ming had a premonition about the sound of the submachine gun.

However, after the two continued running forward for a while, they finally saw a group of people guarding the exit of the cave.

As soon as Hu Ming and the blind man appeared, those people immediately raised their submachine guns and stopped them.

"What's going on?! Who came from here?!"

"I bought the wrong gun barrel—a dark, gaping hole," the blind man complained.

Hu Ming, on the other hand, remained unusually calm, staring intently at the people in front of him.

Just as the blind man and Hu Ming were stopped by a group of people who suddenly appeared, more footsteps were heard in the cave.

"Did you catch them? Good!"

As the footsteps drew closer, Yao Da's voice came again.

Hearing Yao Da's voice at this moment, both Hu Ming and the blind man were somewhat surprised.

"This guy's still alive! He's incredibly lucky!"

As the blind man spoke, he looked back and saw Yao Da being helped out of the cave by a group of people.

As for the group of people around him, they were dressed the same as the people who stopped them, so they were obviously the same group.

"Hmph! Trying to escape? Didn't expect that, did you? I was prepared!"

Yao Da had already walked to a short distance from Hu Ming and the blind man, and at the same time, he showed an arrogant expression to Hu Ming and the blind man.

Seeing Yao Da's expression, Hu Ming and the blind man couldn't help but roll their eyes at him.

"Give me the stuff! I've lost several brothers! I'm not letting you take it!"

As Yao Da spoke, he gestured to the people next to him to begin searching the blind man and Hu Ming.

But before they could get close to Hu Ming and the blind man, a series of sounds suddenly came from the cave.

The sound seemed to include human voices, which caused everyone present to freeze in place.

"Yao Da! I'm going to take your dog's life! Don't you dare run away!"
