Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 829 Encountering Ghosts in the Maze

As a foreigner, Juliet had never seen such a magnificent underground palace before. Standing in front of it, she and her men were all shocked.

While everyone was staring in utter shock at the underground palace before them, Hu Ming couldn't help but frown.

"It seems we have to navigate this maze to get into the underground palace!"

As Hu Ming spoke, he raised his head. In his opinion, the simplest way to get through the maze was to see the exit from above, which would save a lot of time.

However, just as Hu Ming looked up, he saw several corpses lying on the walls of the maze above.

Each of the corpses had a different arrow embedded in it, and it appeared that they had been shot directly through the chest.

"Tsk tsk! There really is a trap! It seems this path is impassable!" Hu Ming fell into deep thought.

Juliet, standing to the side, was also starting to get anxious.

"Mr. Hu Ming! We must hurry! If Liang Ping and his group beat us to it, all our efforts will be in vain!"

Juliet reminded Hu Ming, but Hu Ming did not react at all when he heard Juliet's reminder.

Seeing this, Juliet was about to say something more when Hu Ming suddenly raised his hand to stop her.

"You think this maze is a joke? Let me tell you! If we don't find a way through this maze, we could very well be trapped here and die!"

"Never underestimate the ingenuity of our ancestors! Compared to the mechanisms of our forefathers, those foreign ones are child's play!"

After Hu Ming finished speaking, he continued to ponder. Although Juliet was somewhat unconvinced after hearing Hu Ming's words, she ultimately did not continue to refute him.

After a long while, just as Hu Ming was pondering how to get through the maze in front of him, a figure suddenly appeared deep inside the maze.

Looking into the maze, Juliet immediately spotted a figure deep within it that seemed to be Liang Ping.

The next second, Juliet chased after Liang Ping without saying a word.

"It's Liang Ping! Stop right there!"

Juliet shouted as she rushed deeper into the maze.

Suddenly, Juliet shouted loudly, causing Hu Ming to frown.

"Juliet! Don't go!"

For some reason, when Hu Ming saw Juliet rush into the maze, he felt that something was wrong.

However, before Hu Ming could stop Juliet, her men rushed in as well.

Seeing this, Hu Ming could only shake his head helplessly and then followed into the maze.

However, just as Hu Ming followed Juliet and her group into the maze, he discovered that the people chasing Liang Ping had vanished almost instantly.

Even Juliet's figure had disappeared, which made Hu Ming even more vigilant.

"Oh no! This maze is moving!"

The fact that such a large group of people could disappear in an instant made Hu Ming immediately guess that there were some movable mechanisms in the maze.

This will prevent everyone from entering the maze, and once everyone is an individual, it will not be so easy to get out of the maze.

It is even more dangerous when you don't know what kind of traps or mechanisms are inside the maze.

As Hu Ming frowned, unsure of what to do, screams began to echo from the surrounding maze.

As screams rang out, Hu Ming even heard gunshots.

The gunshots didn't last long before silence returned.

Hu Ming knew someone must have encountered a trap, but whether they would survive was uncertain. "These reckless fellows! They're such a headache!"

Hu Ming began to cautiously navigate the maze. He knew very well that if he didn't want to die here, he had to find the exit.

As for Juliet and the others, they can't care about that now.

Just as Hu Ming was walking through the maze, trying to find an exit, a figure finally appeared in front of him.

"Juliet? Is that you?"

Looking at the figure from afar, Hu Ming asked in a low voice.

Just as Hu Ming was asking questions, the figure suddenly ran into the depths of the maze.

Seeing this, Hu Ming immediately gave chase, but no matter how hard Hu Ming chased, the figure seemed to have no intention of stopping.

Moreover, the speed of that figure had clearly exceeded Hu Ming's comprehension.

Especially when that figure could run with both feet off the ground, Hu Ming suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"No! That's not Juliet!"

After chasing for some distance, Hu Ming finally stopped, his hand already gripping the knife tightly, becoming extremely vigilant.

It must be said that Hu Ming is quite experienced. In such an eerie place, once you encounter something strange, you must make a judgment as soon as possible.

If Hu Ming continued to run after that figure, he was certain he would fall victim to it.

Therefore, in order to get out of here alive, Jiangnan became increasingly vigilant.

Just as Hu Ming suddenly stopped and ceased chasing the figure ahead, Juliet's voice suddenly rang out from ahead.

Hearing the cry, Hu Ming became worried again.

Despite his worries, Hu Ming did not chase after them. Instead, he stood still and shouted directly ahead.

"Juliet! Answer me! Is that you?"

Hu Ming tried to communicate with the other party, but his questions seemed to sink without a trace.

Instead of responding, the other party started crying, and the sound of their crying sent chills down Hu Ming's spine.

"You're just putting on airs! I'll see just how capable you really are!"

At this point, Hu Ming was certain that the thing in front of him was not Juliet. As for what it was, Hu Ming could only wait and see what the other party made first before he could remain calm and wait for the other party to make the first move.

Now it's time to test patience, but clearly that thing's patience is no match for Hu Minghao's.

Seeing that Hu Ming refused to go forward again, the figure indeed turned back once more.

This time, the figure was no longer Juliet, but another of Juliet's subordinates.

Seeing Juliet's men approaching, Hu Ming decisively raised his knife and slashed at one of them.

"Trying to pull this on me? You're still too green!"

After Hu Ming slashed down, his precious blood directly stained the creature's body.

When Hu Ming's precious blood touched the thing, it almost instantly revealed its true form.

Seeing the figure in front of him transform from a human into something covered in white fur under the influence of the precious blood, Hu Ming couldn't help but frown.

"This maze actually contains something like this!"
