Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 852 Flying Dragon Mural!

Richard originally thought that by getting Hu Ming out of the quicksand, he could at least get the dzi bead on him.

However, to his surprise, Hu Ming had already stored the dzi bead on his body in the system's space.

Even if Richard dismembered Hu Ming, he still wouldn't be able to get those two dzi beads.

Of course, Richard was unaware of this; he merely guessed that Hu Ming had hidden the dzi bead.

"Hmph! It seems you were prepared all along! But I have plenty of ways to make you hand over the Heavenly Pearl!"

"I'll spare your life for now. Once this is settled, I'll settle the score with you!"

As Duke Richard spoke, he ordered Hu Ming's hands to be tied up.

After securing Hu Ming with ropes, the group then headed towards the suspension bridge.

At this point, the suspension bridge was already somewhat damaged, making it virtually impossible to reach the frozen underground city by crossing it.

However, this was no problem for Richard's men, after all, Richard had a powerful background and all sorts of high-tech gadgets at his disposal.

He really didn't care about such a small suspension bridge.

Under Richard's command, his men quickly rebuilt several ropes on the existing suspension bridge.

With these ropes, reaching the other side becomes much easier.

However, just as Duke Richard and his party had set up the ropes and were preparing to go to the underground city on the other side, they finally heard footsteps from behind.

Upon hearing the footsteps, Duke Richard frowned.

"You guys stay here! Stop those guys behind us! The rest of you, come with me to the other side!"

Duke Richard gave his instructions immediately after only a moment's thought.

After he gave his instructions, the group immediately split into two teams. One team stayed behind to intercept those behind them, while the other team followed Richard and headed towards the other side.

Hu Ming and Juliet naturally followed Richard and the others to the other side.

However, just as the group reached the other side, the people who had been chasing them finally appeared on the other side as well.

It turned out that the ones who caught up were none other than the Percy Serpent Clan, who had been driven back by Duke Richard and his men earlier.

Seeing that Duke Richard and Hu Ming had reached the other side, the chieftain of the Posi Serpent Clan roared in anger.

"I won't let you get away with this! Just you wait!"

The chieftain of the Posi Serpent Clan roared at the opposite side.

When his voice reached the other side, Duke Richard couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Hmph! Cut the suspension bridge and all the ropes! Let's see if you can fly over here!"

Duke Richard couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.

As soon as Duke Richard finished speaking, his men immediately cut the ropes and drawbridge.

After everything was settled, Duke Richard led Hu Ming and the others toward the underground city.

On the other side, the chieftain of the Posi Serpent Clan was naturally furious, but he quickly regained his composure.

Clearly, the suspension bridge wasn't a serious matter to him; catching up with Hu Ming and Duke Richard was the most important thing.

On the stone steps not far from the underground city, Hu Ming was pushed and shoved by Duke Richard's men, and walked at the very front.

Beside Hu Ming, Juliet's hands were also tied.

Seeing this, Hu Ming also gave Juliet a look of sympathy.

"Oh, Mr. Hu Ming, I'm so sorry!"

When Juliet saw the look in Hu Ming's eyes, she couldn't help but feel guilty. She was clearly disappointed that she couldn't save him.

Upon hearing Juliet's words, Hu Ming shook his head.

"It's okay! Don't overthink it! I know what I'm doing!"

Hu Ming smiled as he spoke, and upon seeing his smile, Juliet felt instantly at ease.

Come to think of it, she and Hu Ming have been through quite a few life-or-death situations together, so there really isn't anything to worry about.

In Juliet's view, as long as Hu Ming is around, they can almost always escape danger no matter how dangerous the place is.

The man standing before him at this moment seemed to be someone who would never fail.

Thinking about all this, Juliet finally calmed down a lot.

Just as Juliet's mood improved, Hu Ming also began to observe the underground city in front of him.

They had arrived at the entrance to the underground city, where Hu Ming and his group saw a huge archway standing there, looking extremely solemn and majestic.

Looking at the structure of the archway, one can immediately see many Western elements.

However, just as Hu Ming and his group were stunned by the grandeur of the archway, a loud noise suddenly rang in their ears.

"What was that sound? Why is it making me tremble all over!"

After the sound, everyone frowned.

Even Hu Ming felt somewhat uncomfortable with the sound, but he was also puzzled as to what it actually represented.

"Ha! So it really does exist!"

Just as everyone was looking on in confusion, Duke Richard suddenly spoke up.

From Duke Richard's words, Hu Ming could tell that he seemed to know something about the voice.

"Dragons really exist!"

Just as Hu Ming's gaze fell upon Duke Richard, Richard finally spoke again.

However, his words this time left everyone speechless, clearly unable to believe them.

"Dragons? Do such creatures really exist? How is that possible!"

Juliet also began to question Duke Richard's words at this point.

Hu Ming, who was standing to the side, also fell silent.

It is well known that there are many legends about dragons throughout history and across the world.

Of course, there are differences between Eastern and Western dragons, but to say that anyone has ever heard the sound of a dragon is simply a joke.

But then he thought about it again, and realized that there are actually many places in this world that humans don't know about, and Hu Ming had seen quite a few of these things.

So when Hu Ming observed carefully and realized that Richard didn't seem to be joking, he also began to become curious.

"Hehe, I'd like to see what the legendary dragon looks like!" Hu Ming said.

Just as the words were finished, Duke Richard, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

"Hmph! Let's go! That voice is coming from the innermost part! So don't panic! Just do as I say!"

After Duke Richard finished speaking, he took the lead and walked into the city, followed closely by Hu Ming and the others, entering the frozen city they had always wanted to reach.

Hu Ming didn't know much about this frozen city of gods, but one thing was certain: there must be a celestial pearl inside.

Otherwise, Richard and the chieftain of the Percy Serpent Clan wouldn't be so desperate to get here.

As for who will ultimately get the Heavenly Bead, that remains to be seen!
