Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 900 The Chen Family Ancestral Tomb!

"Beat that son of a bitch!"

The fat man laughed excitedly, picked up the automatic rifle that the Chen family had given them, and opened fire without hesitation.

"Da da da da—"

The deafening barrage of gunfire vanished in an instant.

Although the mercenaries were caught off guard, they quickly recovered and organized a counterattack.

"The target is at three o'clock. There are three of them, and their firepower is minimal. Surround them, capture one alive, and kill the rest!"

The mercenary squad leader got up and gave the order.

His team members nodded to each other in tacit agreement, then dispersed, intending to devour Hu Ming and his two companions all at once.

"Hey, Fatty, Lao Hu, the enemy is charging! Let's not linger, retreat!"

Seeing that they were being surrounded, Hu Ming calmly gave the order.

"clear!"

Hu Bayi got up and slowly retreated backwards, bending over.

The fat man, however, was in high spirits, continuously sweeping his gun across the battlefield.

"Come on, let's see what your fat grandpa is all about!"

He unleashed a torrent of bullets from the gun barrel with exhilaration.

"Hey, Fatty, let's retreat!"

Seeing this, Hu Ming rushed over and pulled the fat man away!
"Ah Ming, don't pull Fatty! Fatty can walk by himself!"

The fat man, his interest interrupted, said with considerable annoyance.

"Stop talking nonsense and get going!"

Hu Ming had no time to argue with the fat man; he could clearly feel a wolf-like gaze fixed on him from behind.

"You three, come this way!"

In the jungle ahead, the remaining members of the Chen family waved and called out.

Hu Ming and his two companions hurried over, only to see the remaining Chen family members pointing south and offering them a reminder.

"Head south. The Second Miss is waiting for you at the entrance to the ancestral tomb ahead. We'll stay here and draw the enemy's attention elsewhere!"

Hu Ming nodded slightly, then gave them a deep look: "Then I'll leave it to you!"

As he spoke, he led Hu Bayi and Fatty behind him, and quickly sped off in the direction indicated.

"Swish—"

The three of them hurried through the dense, sun-blocking trees, and soon they saw light slowly appearing ahead.

"Shh, stop right there, let me take a look!"

Hu Ming raised his right hand, signaling the two people behind him to stop for the time being.

He looked ahead and saw a group of people standing in front of a cave, bowing their heads in prayer as if in awe of something.

"Good heavens, what is this Chen girl doing with the Chen family?"

The fat man came closer and leaned against Hu Ming, muttering to himself.

"Could it be that she's trying to summon the spirits of her deceased ancestors?"

"Fatty, don't talk nonsense."

Hu Bayi squatted down to the side and said in a low voice, "Do you see the requiem banners they're holding? They're praying for the peace of the departed souls."

A strange light flashed in Hu Ming's eyes. He said in a low voice, "Strange, this place doesn't look like an ancestral tomb at all."

The fat man frowned and muttered, "Are we still going out?" Hu Ming nodded and said softly, "Come with me, we're going to see this Miss Chen who's been hiding something from us."

As he spoke, he led the way out.

Hu Bayi and Fatty quickly followed, and the three of them appeared in front of the crowd in front of the cave.

Chen Yundi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Hu Ming and the other two arrive safely.

"Thank God you all made it through safely."

Hu Ming pointed to the suspicious cave behind the Chen family members and asked directly.

"Miss Chen, is your Chen family's ancestral tomb located in a place like this?"

Chen Yundi bit her lip and raised her hand to indicate that she should enter the cave.

The Chen family members guarding the cave made way for them, allowing them to pass.

Chen Yundi led the way inside and quietly explained to Hu Ming and the other two who followed her.

"It's a long story. Due to some special reasons, our ancestors were all buried in this Water Moon Cave."

"Water Moon Cave Heaven?"

The fat man couldn't help but interject, "Good heavens, are these immortals from your Chen family trying to cultivate immortality?"

Hu Ming glanced at the fat man, signaling him not to say anything rash.

Chen Yundi gave a strange smile: "Although it sounds absurd, some people in our Chen family do indeed hold this view."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Ming immediately raised his eyebrows...

Hu Bayi glanced behind him and saw that the Chen family members were all standing firmly outside the cave and had not followed him in.

"Miss Chen, aren't your Chen family members coming in with you?"

He directly voiced the question that had been nagging at him.

Chen Yundi shook her head slightly and explained, "According to the rules, they can only guard outside this cave."

Hu Ming pointed to himself and asked, "But the three of us outsiders came in."

Chen Yundi turned and glanced at him, then smiled and said, "That's right, because the three of you are the key to helping our Chen family solve the problem in the ancestral tomb."

Hu Ming couldn't help but ask, "Miss Chen, what exactly happened in your Chen family's ancestral tomb that required us to be summoned here?"

Chen Yundi clasped her hands together in a complicated manner and asked a question.

"Hu Ming, have you ever heard of the Corpse Immortal?"

"A Corpse Immortal?"

When Hu Ming and the other two heard this terrifying topic, they all instinctively froze for a moment.

They looked at each other and asked hesitantly.

"Miss Chen, what does this mean? Did your ancestors in the Chen family have such plans?"

Chen Yundi nodded slightly with a wry smile.

“Our Chen family ancestor was a Taoist priest of the Zhengyi sect. When he was about to die, he specially came to this Shuiyue Cave and instructed his descendants to bury him here according to the method of corpse liberation.”

Upon hearing this, the fat man couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "My goodness, we've run into another extraordinary expert!"

With a complicated expression, Chen Yundi said, "Thanks to this place, our Chen family gradually prospered and brought glory to our family. However, countless ancestors, yearning for the corpse immortals mentioned by their forefathers, entrusted their descendants to bury themselves here."

Hu Bayi sensed the crucial point was coming and instinctively asked, "Could it be that something went wrong later?"

Chen Yundi bit her lip and said with a regretful expression.

"The Corpse Immortal Land here has lost its feng shui power because of this, which has brought disaster to our descendants. Our Chen family has suffered disasters one after another. Until now, my grandfather made up his mind to send me to invite you to completely destroy this Corpse Immortal Land."
