Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 204 Lifting the Curse?

In her left hand is the crystal eyeball of the first Ghost Mother, and in her right hand is the Muchen Pearl.

It is worth mentioning that the Muchen Pearl obtained from the tomb of King Xian was dug out from King Xian's mouth.

Over the long years, the Muchen Pearl had long since become one with the dead head of the King Xian.

To avoid damaging the Electric Dust Pearl, it has not yet been perfectly removed and remains embedded in the mouth of the King of Xian.

However, perhaps there is indeed a mysterious power here, ever since I arrived.

The heads of the King Xianhua surrounding the Muchen Pearl, like melting ice and snow, slowly turned into drops of orange liquid that fell to the ground.

In just a few tens of minutes, the head of the King of Xian had disappeared, leaving only a Muchen Pearl in Hu Ming's hand.

"...From today onwards, if anyone tells me that there are no gods, demons, or monsters in this world, I'll smash that bastard's head in!"

Seeing this scene, Hu Bayi said quietly.

This scene undoubtedly overturned scientific understanding.

This explains why the group of people often came into contact with supernatural and ghostly matters, which allowed them to witness this scene without changing their expressions.

Hu Ming snorted and flicked the disgusting orange juice off his hand.

This stuff is actually the corpse fluid of that bastard King Xian!
Thinking about it made him feel nauseous, so he simply threw the two things in his hand to Hu Bayi and Yang Xueli.

Hu Bayi and Yang Xueli stood by the pools on either side of the Dragon Pill, each holding an eyeball and a Muchen Pearl respectively.

Taking a deep breath and exchanging a glance, the two didn't even need to count; with perfect tacit understanding, they simultaneously released their hands and threw the offerings into the dragon pill.

The sacrificial ceremony was extremely simple; it consisted only of throwing the offerings into the corresponding dragon pills in specific locations.

However, what is remarkable is that the sacrificial materials are indeed extremely rare.

The Crystal Eye and the Muchen Pearl correspond to two extreme energies in the Ghost Cave, one yin and one yang, one positive and one negative.

The two eye-shaped pools in the dragon pill are the intersection of the concepts of yin and yang, life and death in the "unity of heaven and man".

At the end of the dragon vein, the yin and yang energies of life and death gather here like two vortexes, and the opposing energies can materialize the matter in the ghost cave.

Making it truly remain in this world is equivalent to severing the connection with the imaginary space where the Ghost Cave is located.

boom!
A dull thud sounded as a heavy object entered the water, and a splash rose from the two pools of Longdan.

As if swallowed by a black hole, the Crystal Eye and the Muchen Pearl were instantly swallowed by the deep pool water and disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, the two eye-shaped pools in the dragon pill suddenly emitted a faint glow.

Soft colors are colors that are difficult for the average eye to distinguish.

"Well!"

The moment the dim light appeared, everyone except Hu Ming and the still silent young man simultaneously clutched their backs and involuntarily let out a muffled groan.

There, at the location of the Ghost Eye Curse, a sudden sharp pain came.

That stinging pain was not a superficial pain on the surface of the body, but a stinging pain that seemed to penetrate deep into the soul.

However, the pain comes on quickly and goes off even faster!

"Old Hu, please take a look at this!"

Hu Bayi was visibly agitated, her voice trembling slightly. She seemed to have realized something.

"Um!"

Hu Bayi, who had the same thought, responded softly. He suppressed his excitement and slightly pulled open the clothes on Yang Xueli's back shoulder.

There, the curse of the demonic eye, once as crimson as blood, still remains!
but!
The color of the ghost eye underwent a drastic change, turning into a dark gray hue.

It's like an old scar left after a wound has healed.

The passage to the imaginary space where the Ghost Cave is located has been severed, thus ending the curse behind it. The blood essence will no longer be gradually absorbed by the Ghost Cave, but the mark of being a sacrifice to the Ghost Cave will not disappear until death.

This is mentioned in the murals along the way, as well as in the murals of this sacrificial space.

"Alright, I think I have the same thing on my back as you. From now on, let's relax and live our lives well. Just like it's recorded in the murals, the color of the demon's eyes has changed. In other words, the curse..."

"The curse has been lifted!"

Muchen Pearl excitedly hugged Hu Bayi, her beautiful eyes visibly filling with tears.

Those were tears of excitement, exhilaration, and joy.

For thousands of years, the Zaglama clan has cherished the dream of finding the Muchen Pearl to lift the curse, and countless clansmen have perished on the path to this goal.

They had all given up hope, thinking that there was no hope left in this life.

But now, like a dream, the nightmare that had plagued their clan for thousands of years has actually been lifted by her.

How could Shirley Yang not be happy?
"By the way, Hu Ming, thank you!"

"Yes, Mingzi, thank you!" Hu Bayi thanked him with a serious expression. He knew that Hu Ming didn't actually need to come to this dangerous place with them, since the curse on Hu Ming didn't affect him much.

"Why thank me? Even without me, I think you could still find the Muchen Pearl, find this place, and break the curse. You know, you're the granddaughter of Partridge Whistle, the leader of the Mountain Moving Clan!"

Hu Ming chuckled lightly, not taking those words to heart.

After all, he knew that even without his presence in the original book, the trio still managed to complete everything without any major incidents.

Looking at the chubby guy and his friends, who were also happily celebrating together, Hu Ming smiled knowingly.

In other words, Chu Yi and Ah Xiang didn't have a deep understanding of this matter, and didn't even know the viciousness of the Ghost Eye Curse. They looked blankly at the group of people who were almost crying with joy, and were somewhat confused about the situation.

Just then! A new situation emerged in the vertical shaft behind them, where corpses were piled up.

A strange, transparent entity, resembling ice shards, suddenly burst out of the corpse well, using the ground for leverage along its way.

By the time Hu Ming and the others discovered the existence of this strange thing, it had already suddenly attacked Yang Xueli's face!
As they drew closer, they could see clearly that it was a long, flat creature, transparent and blurry, with a narrow body, like a sharp sword tearing through the air and emitting sharp whistling sounds.

In response, Hu Bayi, who was closest to Yang Xueli, scooped her up in his arms and turned around to avoid the strange creature that was slashing at him like a knife.

At the same time, the young man next to Hu Ming drew a knife with lightning speed, without any fancy moves, and rushed over to slash diagonally through the air.

The guy's knife had nothing fancy about it; it was just fast, accurate, and ruthless!
Blood exploded in the air...

Hu Ming raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing this, and then couldn't help but say:

"Wow, an appetizer before the main course?"

I forgot, at this time, the young man didn't yet have the Black Gold Sword.
