Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 828 Being Set Up

Outside the tent, a scream rang out, followed immediately by gunfire.

Hu Ming frowned upon hearing the gunshot. Although this was a no-man's-land, firing so rashly was still somewhat inappropriate.

Just as Hu Ming was about to stop the person who fired the shot, he suddenly saw a group of people gathered outside the tent, looking panicked and as if they were quite frightened.

Seeing this, Hu Ming walked over directly. However, when Hu Ming got close to Juliet and her men, he realized that a dark shadow was slowly approaching them not far in front of them.

"What, what do we do! The gun is useless!"

"It's completely unkillable! What the hell is this thing?! It bit three of us brothers to death!"

As the dark shadow drew closer, Juliet's men became even more panicked.

Even Juliet, who was standing nearby, became anxious and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"What happened?! Why did you fire?!"

Hu Ming had already walked up to Juliet and the others, and as soon as Hu Ming's voice rang out, Juliet and the others seemed to instantly have a pillar of support.

"Mr. Hu Ming, you've arrived! Look! What's that? It seems even more terrifying than what we encountered at the Hanging Sword Tomb!"

As Juliet spoke, she pointed to a dark figure not far away.

Following Juliet's pointing finger, they saw something that resembled a dog but wasn't quite a dog, baring its fangs and glaring menacingly at the group.

Judging from its posture, it seems like it might pounce and bite at any moment.

"Huh? This place actually has something like this!"

Hu Ming recognized the dog-like black shadow at a glance as the man-eating earth lion.

This type of earth lion is extremely rare, and it generally only lives underground and never comes out to the surface.

However, once this thing reaches the ground, people will inevitably lose their lives.

"Mr. Hu Ming! Do you recognize this thing? How do we deal with it? Our bullets don't seem to be working!"

Juliet noticed that Hu Ming seemed to recognize the creature, so she hurriedly asked him how to deal with the earth monster.

But when Juliet asked, Hu Ming couldn't help but frown.

It's said that this kind of earth lion was extinct in records, but it's unbelievable that it has appeared here now.

Dealing with this kind of thing is not so easy.

First of all, its black skin is incredibly tough, and with its fangs and claws, even a dozen people wouldn't dare get close.

"This thing is tough to deal with! Have your men retreat first, don't provoke it! I'll think of something!"

After Hu Ming finished speaking, he picked up his knife and walked towards the earth beast. At this moment, the earth beast was tearing at the corpses on the ground while watching Hu Ming and the people behind him warily.

As Hu Ming approached, the earth beast seemed to sense something and began to let out a terrifying cry.

Upon hearing the shout, Hu Ming immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Is this guy calling for its kind? How is that possible? There are other earth monsters here?"

Hu Ming couldn't help but look around into the darkness. But when he looked nearby, he saw countless eyes suddenly light up in the darkness.

Each pair of eyes was a wild beast, and there seemed to be dozens of them.

Even Hu Ming couldn't help but twitch his eyelids at the sight. This enormous number could practically swallow Hu Ming and his companions whole.

Realizing they were no match for so many earth monsters, Hu Ming hurriedly retreated. "Everyone, listen to me! Get into the tunnels we dug earlier right now! Don't stay on the surface!"

"Seal the entrance as soon as you enter the tunnel! Do you understand?"

As Hu Ming spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the tunnel.

Juliet behind him seemed to have something to say, but time was of the essence, and before she could speak, Hu Ming had already led the way and jumped into the tunnel.

Just as Hu Ming led everyone into the tunnel, one after another, the earth beasts pounced towards their direction.

Fortunately, by the time the earth monsters pounced, Hu Ming had already thrown a grenade, which blasted the entrance to the tunnel into a hole.

When the entrance to the tunnel was blocked, Hu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, although they were able to catch their breath, Hu Ming did not dare to be careless, because he knew very well that those earth monsters were experts at digging tunnels. Once they broke through the ground, they would be even more desperate underground.

Thinking of this, Hu Ming immediately ordered everyone to head towards the location of the tomb.

However, before they could go very far, they discovered that the tunnel had been blocked.

"How could this happen? Could it be that Liang Ping who did it!"

It was only then that Hu Ming realized that Liang Ping and his men had already disappeared.

Thinking back to the appearance of those earth monsters, Hu Ming instantly felt that he had been tricked again, and that person was none other than Liang Ping.

"Mr. Hu Ming! That Liang Ping has long since disappeared! We're in the tunnel now, there's not much air, we can't hold out for much longer!"

Juliet finally spoke, and after hearing her words, Hu Ming fell into deep thought once again.

"There's no other way! How much explosives did your men bring? Can they perform a precision detonation?"

"If we can land a precise blast, we might be able to catch up with those guys from Liangping!"

As Hu Ming spoke, he pointed to the direction of the tomb ahead, and then looked at Juliet.

When Hu Ming looked at Juliet, Juliet nodded as well.

"Sure! I'll have the road ahead blown open right away!"

After Juliet finished speaking, she immediately gave orders to her men, who promptly took out gunpowder and began to precisely detonate the explosives.

boom!
A sound was heard, and the tunnel was quickly reopened.

Seeing this, Hu Ming did not hesitate and walked directly into the tomb passage ahead.

When Hu Ming led his men into the tomb passage, they discovered that it had already been searched, clearly done by Liang Ping's group.

"Let's go! They've managed to destroy all the traps for us! Now we can safely enter the tomb passage!"

After examining the surrounding traces, Hu Ming concluded that although Liang Ping and his group had entered the tomb first, they would inevitably not be able to avoid those traps and mechanisms.

Once they dismantle the mechanisms and traps, Hu Ming and his group won't have to worry so much.

However, just as Hu Ming led his men onward, preparing to head towards the tomb chamber, they discovered that they had unknowingly entered an underground palace.

The underground palace seemed to be much larger than imagined, especially the outer perimeter, which appeared to be a large maze.

Standing here, everyone was filled with awe and wonder.

"The owner of this tomb seems to be quite extraordinary! Such a grand gesture is truly rare!"

After taking a quick look around, Hu Ming couldn't help but sigh!
