Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 869 Soul Gathering Coffin!
With a "bang," a large rat hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to ambush, was shot dead on the spot.

Hu Ming lowered his gun and said coldly, "These big rats are really cunning."

Donald looked back and saw the dead rat. He immediately took a step back with a guilty look on his face.

"Damn it, how come there's one of these things behind us too?!"

Hu Ming glanced at the terrified boss and said in a deep voice, "Don't let your guard down. This ancient tomb is the lair of these giant rats. It wouldn't be surprising if they crawled out from anywhere!"

Upon hearing this, the private bodyguards immediately looked around suspiciously, as if a ferocious rat might leap out at any moment.

"I'll lead the way, you guys stay close!"

Seeing that these guys were hopeless and incompetent, Hu Ming could only shake his head and walk forward alone.

Donald hurriedly followed in fear, directing the assembled private bodyguards to protect him from all sides.

Hu Ming and his group continued deeper into the underground tomb, where they found a massive stone door at the end of the passageway.

"It looks like the main burial chamber where the tomb's occupant was buried is just ahead!"

Hu Ming slowed his pace and whispered to the people behind him, "Be careful, there should be a lot of traps and ambushes here."

As he was speaking, he suddenly felt a thread under his feet.

"stop!"

Hu Ming raised his hand and hurriedly gave instructions.

The people following behind him stopped in their tracks as if facing a formidable enemy, and looked around to their left and right.

"Hu Ming, what happened?"

Donald looked at him with unease, very worried that they had encountered some underground monster again.

Hu Ming did not answer, but slowly squatted down, gently hooked the tripwire under his feet with his fingers, and then slowly pulled his right foot back.

"There are tripwires here that could trigger the tomb's mechanisms, so keep your eyes peeled!"

He only spoke up to remind him at this point.

When Donald and his companions noticed this, they all gasped in shock.

If Jiangnan hadn't been here, these laymen would have definitely stepped on it and triggered the tomb's mechanism.

"This underground tomb is far too dangerous. I'll never go down there again!"

Donald secretly wiped away a cold sweat, and sighed inwardly as he made up his mind.

Hu Ming carefully placed the tripwire down, his fingers twirling it.

"Phew, I should be alright now!"

As he spoke, he demonstrated to the crowd behind him, raising his legs high and stepping over the tripwire.

"Learn from me, and always lift your feet high!"

Hu Ming immediately took command.

The bodyguards exchanged glances and, following his instructions, stepped forward.

Donald, standing at the back, nervously swallowed and jumped over with all his might.

Hu Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone had arrived safely.

He was genuinely worried that these laymen would embarrass him here.

"Alright, now that we're all here, let's open this stone door together and enter the main burial chamber!"

As Hu Ming spoke, he led the way to the stone gate and pushed it forward with force.

Donald looked at the group of private bodyguards surrounding him and cursed them irritably.

"What are you all standing around for? Go and help!"

"Yes, Mr. Donald!"

These private bodyguards, paid for this service, dared not slacken their efforts and rushed forward to help push open the stone door. "Hah—"

With everyone working together, they were able to slowly push open the heavy stone door.

As soon as the stone door opened, a chilling aura rushed out, causing everyone present to shiver involuntarily.

"It's so cold, what's going on?"

A private bodyguard, trembling and with his arms crossed, asked.

The others looked to Hu Ming for help, as if this expert knew everything about ancient tombs.

Hu Ming felt some pressure as he listened to the expectant gazes of everyone present.

"We have no choice but to go in and take a look!"

As he spoke, he led the way into the eerie main tomb chamber.

The vast main burial chamber was completely covered in frost, and a dark blue coffin lay on the frozen floor.

Donald followed in, trembling, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, Hu Ming, why does this place feel like an ice cave?"

Hu Ming gently shook his head: "I don't know the reason right now!"

A bodyguard pointed to the dark blue coffin in front of him and said excitedly, "That coffin must contain all sorts of burial treasures."

Hu Ming was also somewhat tempted at this moment. Could the legendary golden manuscript be hidden in the mysterious coffin in front of him?

Donald rubbed his hands together, unable to resist the urge to step forward himself.

"Mr. Donald!"

His subordinates all looked at their boss with some surprise.

"Let me see for myself what treasures are inside this coffin!"

Donald pushed aside the crowd blocking his way and eagerly walked up to the strange coffin.

"Hehehe, I'm going to make a fortune this time!"

Donald kept muttering to himself as he lifted the coffin lid with both hands and forcefully flipped it over.

"Snap—"

Donald's hands were instantly covered with a terrible layer of white frost. He was stunned for a moment, then let out a pig-like scream.

"What?"

Hu Ming never expected that such a scene would unfold before his eyes.

"My hands, my hands are frozen!"

Donald's large face turned bright red as he desperately tried to free his hands, but they were frozen firmly to the edge of the coffin.

The private bodyguards on the side rushed forward immediately.

"Mr. Donald!"

They hurriedly called out, hoping to seize the opportunity to make a good impression on the boss.

However, all that awaited them was a cruel death.

"Click-clack—"

A terrifying chill emanated from the air, freezing the private bodyguards who rushed forward, along with their boss Donald, into eerie ice sculptures.

What the hell is this?

Hu Ming couldn't help but take a step back, staring intently at the terrifying scene before him.

From within the dark blue coffin, a creaking sound came from within, and then a pale arm stretched out forcefully.

"Holy crap, there are rice dumplings in here!"

Hu Ming was now extremely anxious. He never expected that such a terrifying thing would exist on this forbidden island!
