Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 870 Manuscript!

"Strike first, strike hard!"

Once Hu Ming made up his mind, he immediately took action.

As he retreated, he drew his sidearm from his waist, aiming the dark muzzle at the figure crawling out of the coffin.

"Bang bang bang!"

Despite the deafening gunfire, the figure slowly rising to his feet did not fall.

Hu Ming immediately frowned and looked over with a serious expression.

The man's corpse that crawled out of the coffin was covered in white fish scales, and at that moment, a terrifying chill surrounded him.

The scalding hot bullets that had just been fired struck the horrific corpse, leaving only white marks.

"Damn it, is this ice rice dumpling invulnerable to swords and spears?"

Hu Ming felt a headache coming on, but he didn't panic.

Instead, they moved their feet carefully, not letting the icy rice dumpling close the distance between them.

"Ow—"

The ice-cold rice dumpling let out a chilling growl, raised its right hand, and a cold glint flashed beneath its sharp nails.

"Good heavens, does this thing even have a pair of nails as sharp as knives?"

Hu Ming blinked, nervously considering how to respond.

"Roar--"

The ice-cold rice dumpling let out a chilling growl, raised its right hand, and a cold glint flashed beneath its sharp nails.

"Good heavens, does this thing even have a pair of nails as sharp as knives?"

Hu Ming blinked, nervously considering how to respond.

"Roar--"

The ice dumpling charged forward in a frenzy, swinging its right arm and smashing the ice sculpture blocking its path.

Donald and his private bodyguards died mysteriously and completely.

When Hu Ming saw the ice dumpling rushing straight at him, he quickly fired his gun while retreating.

"Bang bang bang-"

Amidst the incessant gunfire, the charging ice dumpling was forced to halt its advance due to the impact of the bullets.

He angrily waved his hands, trying to grab the slippery outsider.

Hu Ming retreated to the tomb passage outside the main burial chamber. At this moment, he was cautious and deliberately slowed down his pace to lure the ice dumpling in the main burial chamber to chase after him aggressively.

"Ow—"

The ice rice dumpling lunged at them in a frenzy, looking terrifyingly hysterical.

"Hmph, let me show you the trouble this trap can cause!"

He kept his eyes on the ground, then suddenly jumped back, watching the ice dumpling rushing towards him, and stepped on the hidden tripwire.

"Shhhh-"

In an instant, the walls on both sides slid aside, and huge arrows shot out swiftly, piercing directly through the hard body of the ice dumpling.

"Ahhh-"

The ice dumpling let out a painful scream, desperately trying to struggle forward and grab the outsider who was right in front of it.

Hu Ming, however, looked at this fool with a light smile.

The arrow shot out pierced straight through the ice dumpling's body, pinning him to the ground beneath his feet.

Now, no matter how much this ice rice dumpling struggles, it has absolutely no chance of breaking free.

"Let me finish you off!"

Hu Ming said in a deep voice, raising the pistol in his right hand and pressing the muzzle against the center of the ice dumpling's forehead.

Then, he pulled the trigger forcefully.

"boom!"

This close-range headshot directly ripped off the skull of the ice dumpling.

White brain matter splattered everywhere, splashing onto the ground around them. Hu Ming, watching the ice dumpling finally collapse, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"We're finally safe!"

Hu Ming said this, squatting down with some breathlessness.

"However, Donald and his men all perished!"

Recalling the devastating loss, Hu Ming shook his head and stood up alone.

He slowly walked into the main tomb chamber, looked at the ice shards scattered on the ground, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"If I had gone closer, I might be in this terrible state right now!"

Hu Ming looked at the flesh and blood among the ice shards at his feet and hurried over.

He walked up to the dark blue coffin and looked inside, where he saw some gold and silver jewelry.

Of course, the most eye-catching item is the dazzling gold manuscript.

Hu Ming picked up the golden manuscript and carefully examined it.

What he saw were all sorts of strange, human-shaped characters; he couldn't recognize what kind of human language it was.

"It seems I need to consult a linguistics expert!"

Hu Ming said this softly.

"Squeaky-"

A strange cry came from behind him, and Hu Ming turned around abruptly.

A group of large rats, smelling the blood emanating from the main tomb chamber, tracked them down.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this group of aggressive rats, Hu Ming felt a headache coming on...

The giant rats under this ancient tomb are inherently ferocious and fearless. If it weren't for everyone's combined and intense firepower, these giant rats might not have retreated.

Right now, Hu Ming is all alone, facing the menacing horde of rats, and he only has one path to choose from!
"Let's get out of here!"

Hu Ming didn't care about anything else. He gripped the golden manuscript tightly and made a hasty escape.

"Squeaky-"

The rats gave chase, but after running a short distance, they were drawn to the fresh scraps of meat on the ground and began to gnaw on them.

Hu Ming glanced back and saw that the large rats weren't chasing after him, which made him feel slightly relieved.

"Damn it, Donald, don't blame me, I can't protect your wrecked bodies right now!"

He ran wildly all the way, and finally returned alone to the entrance of the tunnel he had come down from.

"Drink it!"

Hu Ming grabbed the rope with both hands and climbed up with all his might, arriving at the small hill outside.

"Whoohoo-"

He struggled to climb out, then collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

This trip to the underground tomb had taken a lot of his time and energy, and now all he wanted to do was lie down and get some rest.

"This time, we've finally obtained the golden manuscript!"

Hu Ming couldn't help but pick up the golden manuscript beside him and examine it carefully.

Besides the strange characters, the manuscript also contained a unique map.

"Does the map on this golden manuscript indicate some kind of treasure?"

Hu Ming raised his eyebrows and immediately sat up, intrigued.

He examined the golden manuscript from top to bottom, but couldn't glean any further information.

"Damn it, it looks like we're not getting any more information right now. We need to find a language expert who understands the text before we can decipher anything else!"

Having made up his mind, Hu Ming got up and looked toward the edge of the island in the distance.

"It's time to go back. I need to find a language expert as soon as possible!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly ran towards the spot where the ship was moored in front of the island, preparing to board the ship and leave this forbidden island as soon as possible!
