Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 865 The Haunted Island!

Donald and Nick exchanged a glance and quickly picked up the hoses.

They imitated Hu Ming, and together they forcefully shot the water jet at the ugly monsters swimming out of the sea.

"Chirp chirp one"

These hideous underwater monsters fled into the sea in panic.

Seeing this, Hu Ming and his two companions quickly beat the drowning dog and drove the remaining monsters on the deck into the sea.

"Phew, this is really thanks to you!"

Donald, holding the hose, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear.

Nick looked at Hu Ming with admiration: "Yeah, how did you come up with that idea?"

Hu Ming waved his hand with amusement: "This is a closely guarded secret, how could I tell you so easily?"

However, before the three of them could even relax, another unexpected event occurred.

A violent shaking was heard coming from below the cabin.

Hu Ming almost fell because he lost his balance. Donald reached out to steady him and called out in alarm.

"What happened now?"

Nick ran to the edge of the deck and looked down. He saw dark shadows swimming beneath the waves, desperately attacking the bottom of the ship.

"Those are the underwater monsters we drove down!"

Nick turned around and anxiously reported, "They are currently attacking the bottom of the ship, trying to sink it completely."

"Are you kidding me!"

Upon hearing this report, Hu Ming's expression immediately changed.

If their ship sinks here, no matter how capable he is, he will not escape death.

"Quickly call everyone else on the ship and start shooting underwater! We must stop these monsters!"

Hu Ming was anxious and, disregarding everything else, immediately issued instructions.

Donald shouted at the bodyguards who had rushed over, "Didn't you hear me? Now do as he instructs!"

"Yes, Mr. Donald!"

The private bodyguards exchanged glances and quickly sprang into action, firing their guns at the monster beneath the water.

"Bang bang bang!"

Amidst the resounding gunfire, these ugly underwater creatures reluctantly retreated.

Nick, who was lying on the edge of the deck, watched as the dark figures underwater moved away and turned back to report the good news with a look of delight.

"It's done! The underwater monsters are starting to retreat!"

"Splash—"

The water churned, and a black tentacle shot out, wrapping around Nick's neck and dragging him down forcefully.

"Nick!"

Hu Ming immediately rushed forward and looked down into the water.

The "mermaid" underwater grabbed Nick's neck as he struggled desperately, then looked up at Hu Ming with a provocative smile and bit down hard.

"Giggle"

Nick's neck was bitten off by the terrifying "mermaid," and bright red blood flowed out, instantly staining the sea red.

"Damn beast!"

Hu Ming clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could jump down and skin the underwater monster with his own hands.

Donald saw something unbelievable and rushed over, shoving him on the shoulder and shouting.

"Hu Ming, look up and look ahead!" Hu Ming looked up and saw a faintly visible island in the sea right in front of their ship, shrouded in mist.

"That's the forbidden island!"

For no apparent reason, this thought popped into Hu Ming's mind.

Donald clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, this whole ordeal was worth it! We've finally found the legendary island."

"Boom—"

Dark clouds gathered on the distant horizon, and suddenly a terrifying clap of thunder resounded.

Seeing this, Hu Ming dared not be careless and quickly gave instructions to the people around him.

"Hurry up and help get this boat to the island; a storm is coming."

Donald also commanded his men: "It's all the same, get moving right now, we're going to land on the island immediately."

The ship approached the edge of the forbidden island and slowly came to a stop.

With everyone on board working together, the planks were lowered, and Donald excitedly stepped off first.

Looking at the lush, deserted island, he exclaimed excitedly, "The legendary treasure is just ahead! I'm going to find it myself!"

A large group of private bodyguards hurriedly followed their boss.

Seeing this chaotic scene, Hu Ming couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

He followed them off the ship and onto this infamous island...

To his surprise, the forbidden island appeared quite normal on the surface, without the terrifying, hellish scene described in the rumors.

"However, we cannot let our guard down. After all, this is a dangerous place that the locals call a forbidden island."

Hu Ming silently reminded himself to be more careful.

Donald, who was already impatient, turned around and waved to him repeatedly.

"Come on, come on, we're waiting for you to lead the way!"

Hu Ming rolled his eyes at him and snorted irritably.

“Hey, this isn’t some leisure spot for rich people like you to go on adventures. This is a notorious island of terror. Tell your men to be careful, or some of them might not make it out of this forbidden island.”

Upon hearing this, Donald's men immediately became somewhat resentful.

They were all highly skilled fighters, and it was quite embarrassing for them to be taught a lesson by a young man like Hu Ming.

Hu Ming didn't care about the unpleasant looks on the faces of these private bodyguards.

For him right now, there is only one thing that truly matters: finding the golden manuscript on this forbidden island.

Donald, however, was a shrewd man. Seeing that his subordinate was somewhat indignant, he quickly interrupted him.

"Alright, alright, spread out and help keep watch around here."

"Yes, Mr. Donald!"

The private bodyguards may harbor resentment towards Hu Ming, but when facing their boss, they can only obediently nod.

Donald walked over to Hu Ming and asked softly.

"Do you have any goals or directions now?"

Hu Ming raised his hand, pointed to the raised jungle area in the distance, and said in a deep voice.

"The terrain there is quite unique, perfectly suited for burial. Why don't we go there and take a look?"

Donald stroked his chin with his right hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "You're the expert in this, so I'll listen to you!"

Hu Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Very good, then let's get going without delay."

"Hey hey hey-"

However, at that very moment, a chilling, eerie laugh suddenly rang out from behind Hu Ming and his companion.
