Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 205

With one swift and easy stroke, the young man cleaved the thing in two.

The two halves of the body continued to slide forward due to inertia.

Large clumps of clear, water-like blood exploded in the air.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi simply wrapped his arms around Yang Xueli's slender waist, lightly touched the ground with his feet, and retreated repeatedly to avoid the transparent blood.

Before the group could examine what the translucent creature was, a dozen or so blurry, transparent shadows were rapidly approaching them from the fossil bridge behind them.

From a distance, the blurry shadow of this thing under the searchlight looked like a fish or a snake.

It's really weird.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi frowned slightly, placed his hands on his own waist, and then swiped Yang Xueli's waist.

Two Black Star pistols appeared in Hu Bayi's hands.

"Mingzi, Fatty!"

"Subconsciously," Hu Bayi said unconsciously.

With his two guns aimed at different angles, his two index fingers twitched as he rapidly pulled the triggers.

At the same time, as the gun spews out hot bullets, the muzzle is also slowly rotating.

BANG BANG BANG!!!
Just like setting off firecrackers and fireworks, a sudden burst of gunfire erupted.

Seeing this, Hu Ming calmly took out his dragon-patterned cloud-swirling blade and stood beside the young man, but did not rush to make a move.

However, it must be said that Hu Bayi and Fatty were quite good marksmen.

In just a few seconds, Hu Bayi had emptied both magazines in a flash, and Fatty was almost done as well.

And the results.
A kid with a shot.

At this moment, using this phrase to describe Hu Bayi and Fatty's marksmanship couldn't be more fitting.

Hu Ming nodded. These two had grown up handling guns, so their marksmanship was naturally quite good.

The young man looked at the two men with some surprise, after all, the two fat men's marksmanship was also quite rare.

"What is this thing? It looks like a fish, but it also looks a bit like a human. Mingzi, can you tell if this thing is a human or a fish?"

As the dust settled, the fat man used an entrenching tool to poke at the bloody, translucent corpse on the ground.

The searchlight shone brightly, illuminating the strange corpse of the creature.

"Its body is thick in the middle, its tail is thin and long, its entire body is covered with transparent scales like ice crystals, and its blood can emit a dim glow in the dark..."

"Two fin-like structures, which looked remarkably like human arms, with incredibly sharp scales..."

Yang Xueli stepped forward, touched the ice scale with her index finger, and instantly cut her finger.

The scales of this thing, which are like ice crystals, are sharper than even the finest knife.

One can imagine what it would be like if this creature silently approached the group and suddenly leaped up and shot.

It's likely that a person would be pierced through and have a bloody hole in them.

"It looks like a giant salamander, probably the legendary silver salamander, an amphibian." The young man glanced at it from afar and said indifferently in a low voice.

"A silver doll with the lights off? What's that?" The fat man was taken aback and subconsciously looked at the young man.

He really didn't expect the young man to take the initiative to speak.

"Legend has it that this thing has the ability to extinguish lights, is extremely rare, is the same size as an ordinary baby, and eats small snakes and shrimp."

“In ancient times, powerful and wealthy officials liked to keep a live fish in a jade and glass basin. After the lights were turned off at night, it would glow and shimmer, which was extremely beautiful and rarer than any luminous pearl.”

"However, this thing cannot be kept for long. Once caught, it can only live for ten days at most. After it dies, it is full of resentment. Even if an ordinary person gets it, he would not dare to keep it."

Seeing that the young man had no intention of continuing the explanation after saying just one sentence, Hu Ming had no choice but to continue.

However, according to ancient records, the Silver Doll that extinguishes lamps will not intentionally harm people.

Thinking of this, Hu Ming drew his paratrooper knife and pried open the corpse's mouth.

Meanwhile, Hu Bayi and his companions also curiously gathered around, and couldn't help but gasp, feeling a chill run down their spines.

Inside, there was no tongue; the mouth was filled with countless barbs of bone, and between the barbs were countless suckers of flesh.

It's clear that this thing was probably affected by the convergence of life and death energies in this ancestral vein, resulting in some kind of mutation, and has long since deviated from the form and habits recorded in ancient books...

Aside from their similar appearance, their internal structure is completely different; they are now a whole new species.

“The piles of corpses inside the shaft are all mummies. Logically speaking, the environment here shouldn’t be able to naturally produce mummies.”

"Now I understand. They must have been drained by these mutated Silver Dolls that extinguished the lights. I just wonder if this is also part of the ritual to sacrifice to the Ghost Cave?"

Yang Xueli looked at the mummified corpse in the shaft not far ahead, her beautiful face slightly furrowed as she fell into thought.

When it comes to anything involving the curse of the ghost eye, she has no choice but to be cautious.

What if an incomplete sacrificial ceremony leaves some kind of aftereffect? ​​Wouldn't it be too late to cry then?
"This is not important. It has nothing to do with the sacrificial ceremony. It was just raised by the Demon Kingdom priests to dispose of the corpses."

Hu Ming shook his head, saying nothing more. He simply pulled out the Dragon Pattern Cloud Blade from the ground, lit a cigarette, and went to the young man's side.

"Hey buddy, the trouble is about to start. Are you ready?"

The young man nodded indifferently, his expression unchanging. However, Hu Ming keenly noticed that the young man's right hand, hanging by his side, was slowly moving.

At the same time, the young man pulled out a gleaming dagger from somewhere in his left hand, which looked to be a rare and exquisitely crafted dagger.

After all, it's only 81 now, and it's still a long way from when the story started in 03. The young man hasn't gotten his destined black and gold sword yet.

"Your knife is very good!"

Seemingly noticing Hu Ming's gaze, the young man glanced calmly at the treasured sword in Hu Ming's hand and said softly.

If I had seen a look of envy in the young man's eyes just now, that would have been wonderful.

Hu Ming couldn't help but think with some regret.

"They're here!" *2
Suddenly, the two of them narrowed their eyes simultaneously, staring coldly at the crystal passageway in front of them.

There, a dark figure quietly appeared.

At the same moment the shadowy figure appeared, a deafening roar, like thunder and drumming, suddenly resounded in the underground space!
The Great Black Heaven Thunder Mountain has arrived!
