Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 863: Spot of light?

Hearing the continuous splashing sounds, Hu Ming frowned.

Given the current situation, it's clear that there are many restless people like this on the ships behind.

If they don't respond in time, there's a good chance someone will try to seize their ships again soon.

After some consideration, Hu Ming decisively issued the order to accelerate.

At Hu Ming's signal, the boat's speed increased significantly in an instant.

Even so, the ships behind refused to give up and went full speed ahead to catch up.

Some boats even came directly in front of Hu Ming and his group and started shouting at their boat.

"Mr. Hu Ming! They said if we don't stop, they'll ram and sink our ship!"

Just as those people were shouting at Hu Ming and his group's ship, Bablu relayed their message to Hu Ming.

Upon hearing this, Hu Ming couldn't help but snort coldly. How could Hu Ming possibly yield to such a threat?

In Hu Ming's view, these people were nothing but clowns.

However, before Hu Ming could come up with a solution, Donald had already taken out their submachine guns and started firing at the boat that was shouting.

Da da da!
A series of gunshots rang out, and the shouting stopped abruptly.

However, the other side quickly retaliated, and the two ships began firing at each other.

It has to be said that Donald and his men were indeed simple and brutal, something Hu Ming hadn't expected.

What Hu Ming didn't expect was that shortly after Donald and his men opened fire, the ship was completely destroyed and its speed gradually decreased.

Seeing this, Hu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before they could adjust their mindset and continue their journey, several more ships caught up with them.

This time, the people on those ships actually picked up rocket launchers and aimed them directly at Hu Ming and his group's ship.

"Watch out! Rocket launcher!"

When Hu Ming saw this scene, he couldn't help but remind Donald.

At Hu Ming's prompting, Donald immediately pulled out a sniper rifle and aimed it at the man with the rocket launcher.

Bang!
A gunshot rang out, and the man holding the rocket launcher on the boat behind him instantly fell to the ground.

At the same time, he fired his rocket launcher haphazardly, blasting a large hole in his own ship.

"Well done!"

Seeing yet another ship rendered combat ineffective, Hu Ming couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

However, not long after, the chasing ships did not stop; instead, they pressed on even more closely.

At the same time, the weapons on their ship also became increasingly varied and worrisome.

In Hu Ming's view, they must successfully land on the forbidden island; only in this way can they possibly find the golden manuscript.

However, if the ship had been damaged beforehand, their trip might have been in vain or they might not have made it back.

With all this in mind, Hu Ming finally decided to tell Donald and his men not to linger in the battle and to move at full speed toward the Forbidden Island.

Upon receiving Hu Ming's instructions, Donald realized what was happening and hurriedly ordered his men to advance at full speed.

In a short time, Hu Ming and his crew's boat also reached its maximum speed.

Time ticked by, and after an unknown amount of time, just as Hu Ming and his crew were sailing at full speed, a thin fog suddenly appeared around the ship. Visibility at sea instantly decreased, which made Hu Ming more cautious.

"Maintain your course and avoid running aground! Otherwise, it's all over!"

Hu Ming knew he couldn't afford to get into trouble at sea, otherwise he might never have the chance to go back.

Therefore, everyone became extra cautious at this time. While Hu Ming was directing everyone to navigate cautiously, Nick finally came to the deck.

"We've arrived! We've entered that unknown sea area!"

Nick's face showed a complicated expression, as if he was recalling something that had happened here before.

Hu Ming didn't disturb him, but just as Hu Ming looked at Nick, Nick's body suddenly trembled.

"Huh? What's wrong with you? Are you cold?"

Hu Ming asked with some doubt, but just as he finished speaking, a scream suddenly came from the ship.

Hearing the screams, Hu Ming quickly turned around to see what had happened.

However, when Hu Ming turned his head, he found that Donald and his men were lying face down like puppets, and no matter how he called them, they did not respond.

Upon seeing this scene, Hu Ming immediately had a bad feeling.

"Hey! What's going on here?! Don't just stand there! Get out of here right now!"

Hu Ming then remembered what Nick had mentioned: this unknown sea area actually hides many dangers, so if they don't leave here as soon as possible, the consequences will be unimaginable.

However, when Hu Ming gave orders to Donald and his men, he found that they did not respond at all, which left Hu Ming somewhat at a loss.

Turning around, just as Hu Ming was about to ask Nick why he was like this, he realized that even Nick had fallen into a daze.

At this moment, it seemed as if Hu Ming was the only one on the entire ship who was conscious.

Hu Ming found this phenomenon increasingly strange, but he didn't know why.

"What on earth happened?! Why is everyone frozen like they're possessed?"

Hu Ming muttered to himself.

While Hu Ming was puzzled, a point of light suddenly rose from the sea, attracting his attention.

"Huh? What's that?"

After seeing the spot of light, Hu Ming ran straight to the side of the ship to get a better look.

However, when he reached the ship's side and looked out into the sea, he discovered that there was more than one point of light.

At that moment, not far from their ship, a large group of lights were approaching from underwater, which made Hu Ming frown.

"Could this be some kind of marine creature? But wait! Bioluminescent marine creatures are usually only found in the deep sea! How could it be floating to the surface?"

Hu Ming stared at the approaching points of light, utterly perplexed, and fell into deep thought.

"No! Could it be these points of light that caused everyone to freeze? But why am I the only one unaffected?"

Hu Ming guessed that all of this was possible, and just as he was trying his best to find out why everyone was stunned, the points of light had already reached the bottom of the ship.

When those points of light reached the bottom of Hu Ming's boat, they finally saw bodies swimming in the water through the surface.

However, when you were able to enter Hu Ming's field of vision, Hu Ming was immediately taken aback.

"Does this...do such a thing really exist? It's unbelievable!"
