Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 921 The Tomb Owner!
"How is this possible?"

Hu Ming stared wide-eyed in disbelief; the high stone steps were now completely deserted.

"Damn it, Fatty, Old Hu, where are you guys?"

Hu Ming shouted in all directions, but in the empty hall, it seemed as if he was the only one left.

"call--"

A biting, cold wind came from all directions.

Most people would probably freeze completely at this moment.

Hu Ming frowned and ran outside.

"Fatty and Old Hu should be fine. I'll go find them and meet up!"

He held this thought in his heart, and his blood and qi resisted the cold aura.

"Amin, we're here!"

A faint call came from the crystal coffin behind Hu Ming.

"What?"

Hu Ming stopped in his tracks, slowly turned around, and looked hesitantly into the crystal coffin.

"Click-clack—"

The crystal coffin was pushed open, and an extremely pale arm trembled as it was raised.

Inside the crystal coffin, which was constantly emanating a chilling aura, Fatty lay with Hu Bayi. At this moment, Fatty grinned menacingly at Hu Bayi, his face ashen.

"Amin, we're right here! Come in and keep us company!"

Hu Ming immediately felt an invisible force pulling him to the open crystal coffin.

"Huh? Oh my god."

Hu Ming was also at a loss.

"Drink it!"

Just then, a powerful roar rang out from behind him.

With a "bang!", Hu Ming instantly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.

The intense pain caused the world before my eyes to crumble instantly.

Hu Ming stared in astonishment, only to realize that he was still standing in the same spot, and the distance between him and the crystal coffin had not shortened at all.

"Depend on!"

Just as Hu Ming was realizing what was happening, a burning pain in his shoulder made him turn around.

He had been shot in the shoulder, and the sight of him covered in blood was particularly horrifying.

"I've been shot?"

Hu Ming turned around in surprise, only to see two people standing on the stone steps behind him, shouting at him with joyful expressions.

"Amin, wake up! Don't fall into this illusion! What's wrong with you? You haven't even broken free from this illusion!"

Hu Ming clutched his injured shoulder, only then realizing what had just happened.

"It seems that I fell into a hallucination for some unknown reason. At the critical moment, Hu Bayi and the others shot me in the shoulder, which directly woke me up from the hallucination."

"Alas, my dragon and phoenix bloodlines clash, requiring a long period of hibernation for my body to gradually adapt. But if I hibernate once, it could take more than ten years! That's not what I want to see!"

After reviewing the entire process, Hu Ming couldn't help but look at the gunshot wound on his shoulder and give a bitter smile.

"I never imagined that one day I would be grateful that I was shot."

He took a deep breath and looked at the crystal coffin in front of him again.

"That hallucination I just experienced is definitely related to this weird thing!"

Hu Ming calmly pondered this in his mind.

Hu Bayi and his companion on the stone steps were anxiously offering their reminders.

“Amin, be careful. Just now, without your knowledge, you suddenly fell into a hallucination and started acting crazy.”

"I know, I'll be extra careful this time."

Hu Ming looked up and replied, then immediately pressed his left hand against his injured right arm and staggered forward. "What exactly is inside this crystal coffin?"

Hu Ming was filled with intense curiosity. He couldn't understand what kind of corpse was inside the coffin that could cause someone to fall into a hallucination without them even realizing it.

With Hu Ming's efforts, he finally arrived at the crystal coffin step by step.

Inside the dazzling crystal coffin, the sleeping corpse seemed to open its eyes at this moment.

Hu Ming looked down and saw that the corpse in the crystal coffin was actually a child.

He was roughly humanoid, but his arms were a pair of large wings.

The man was dressed in a white Taoist robe, and various Taoist ritual implements were buried beside him.

Hu Ming saw a line of small characters carved in front of the crystal coffin.

"A True Immortal Who Has Ascended to Heaven!"

Hu Ming softly uttered the name of the tomb's occupant, his brows furrowing unconsciously.

"What kind of monster is this?"

He couldn't help but think this directly in his mind.

The corpse before me looked strangely unusual.

"Amin, what did you see inside the crystal coffin?"
Hu Bayi and Fatty looked over anxiously and asked inquiries.

"I saw a strange person with wings!"

Hu Ming turned around and said, "His name is engraved on this crystal coffin—True Man of Ascension!"

"ha?"

The fat man looked completely bewildered upon hearing this.

Hu Bayi, on the other hand, appeared much more composed. He raised his hand and called out.

"Amin, quickly use the explosives in your backpack to prepare to destroy this crystal coffin."

Hu Ming nodded upon hearing this, and with great effort, pulled all the explosives out of his satchel with his left hand.

The little devils under the four stone tablets jumped up and down excitedly when they saw Hu Ming's actions.

"Is everything caused by you?"

Hu Ming looked at the skeleton of the Ascended Immortal in the crystal coffin with complicated eyes. He gritted his teeth and prepared to ignite the explosives and destroy the place.

However, just as he was making these preparations, another unexpected event occurred.

The ground suddenly began to shake violently, as if the sky and earth were turning upside down.

"What, what's going on now?" the fat man shouted anxiously.

Hu Bayi stared at his feet with a grim expression, subconsciously guessing, "Could it be an earthquake? This is just too unlucky!"

Jiangnan, standing before the crystal coffin, heard a familiar hissing sound.

"Is that the white python? It's down here!"

Hu Ming didn't have time to think and quickly dodged to the side.

"Boom!"

With a terrifying crash, the floor of the crystal coffin was smashed open, and the white python slithered out and grabbed the falling crystal coffin.

Upon seeing the terrifying white python suddenly appear, the fat man immediately broke out in a cold sweat and screamed.

"Damn it, is this another white snake that has become a spirit?"

Hu Bayi pulled the fat man up and quickly dodged the falling boulder.

"Quick, hide!"

Hu Ming shouted at them, "This white python at the bottom of the great rift valley is a terrifying existence that ordinary people cannot contend with."

Such a monster could even annihilate a small modern armed force, and right now, Hu Ming and his two companions are simply no match for it.

"His-"

The white python, with the crystal coffin in its mouth, let out an extremely excited hiss.

Hu Ming hid in the corner and watched this scene, but in his mind he was already thinking about how to escape!
