Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 206

Black shadows.

As far as the eye could see, there were ominous shadows.

At the same time as the enormous, humanoid shadow appeared, a deafening, thunderous roar filled the air.

The Great Black Heaven Thunder Mountain is a legendary life form in the ancient history of Western Xinjiang.

in.

It is a strange creature that resides in crystal mines.
According to records, it got its name because it was accompanied by thunder when it appeared.

"Heh, so ancient legends aren't necessarily all false, don't you think, buddy?"

Hu Ming raised an eyebrow and looked up and down at the huge black shadow on the other side of the fossil bridge with great interest.

Then, looking through the bright light of the searchlight, Thunder Mountain lived up to its legendary deadly reputation, its shadowy form moving erratically within the crystal ore.

Unlike carbon-based life, it appears to have no physical existence.

Or rather, the entire underground crystal mine is part of its body.

Ancient texts record that Mahakala struck the mountain with lightning and possessed the ability to manipulate crystal ore.

This is absolutely outrageous, it's getting more and more fantastical!

If one day a car that can transform suddenly appeared on the street, Hu Ming wouldn't be surprised at all.

Perhaps the sacrificial space is indeed a place of extraordinary mystery.

Thunder Mountain merely watched this place from afar, never approaching.

"Both official histories and unofficial histories are recorded by people."

"There are real and fake, illusory and true, beings like the 'gods' worshipped by our ancient ancestors."

"Either it's just the conjecture of our ancestors, or... it's real. We... no, you are very unfortunate to have encountered this real Mahakala Thunder Mountain."

The young man responded softly.

The dagger twirled between his nimble fingers as he strode towards the Great Black Heaven Thunder Mountain.

Because the crystal tremor has already begun. Although the Great Black Heaven Thunder Mountain cannot approach the sacrificial space, it is naturally able to manipulate crystal mines.

At this moment, the surrounding crystal walls began to tremble violently, like a high-intensity earthquake.

If this drags on any longer, the entire underground crystal vein may collapse and be completely buried.

When the time comes, none of the seven people here will be able to escape.

Although Hu Ming and his brother were agile, it was wishful thinking for them to escape with their lives under these circumstances.

"Although I am very confident that under the pressure from me and my brother, Thunder Mountain should not have a chance to harm you."

"But it's better to be safe than sorry, so it's best to be cautious," Hu Ming chuckled, casually offering a few words of advice before following the young man's footsteps and striding away.

Hu Bayi and his companions are all seasoned veterans who have weathered many storms.

Unless you're directly facing the Great Black Heaven's lightning strike mountain, dealing with this minor aftershock is child's play.

Step, step, step...

Amidst the thunderous roar, Hu Ming and his brother's footsteps were exceptionally clear.

It was as if their footsteps possessed some kind of magic.

"Sister Yang Xueli, Brother Hu, will Brother Hu Ming be alright?" Ah Xiang asked worriedly.

That mountain struck by lightning was truly eerie, making her uneasy. "Don't worry, Mingzi must have been confident to do this; he's not the kind of reckless fool who acts without thinking."

"Besides, that guy doesn't seem to be simple either!" Hu Bayi, standing next to Yang Xueli, suppressed his worries, his eyes flashing, and nodded.

He knew nothing about the Zhang family of Northeast China, nor about the young man's extraordinary abilities, but he trusted his cousin.

Boom boom boom!!!
As Hu Ming and Xiao Ge got closer to the Great Black Sky Thunder Mountain, the roaring sound became increasingly intense.

This is the roar of thunder striking the mountain.

When the two stepped off the fossil bridge and arrived in front of Thunder Mountain.

Suddenly, something strange happened.

Click click click…

A dense and eerie sound of crystal shattering came, and the crystal wall above their heads suddenly cracked without warning.

Countless sharp crystal shards rained down from the sky, almost completely enclosing Hu Ming and his companion's dodging range, leaving them nowhere to hide.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi and his companions felt a chill run down their spines.

They had no doubt that these sharp crystal blades, falling from the sky, would easily slice a person in half.

"You naughty boy, are you in such a hurry?"

Even in this perilous situation, Hu Ming still had the mood to secretly complain.

His feet were like old trees with roots firmly planted, and a dragon-patterned cloud-swirling blade danced above his head, impenetrable to water.

slap slap slap.…

For a moment, the crisp sounds of impact continued incessantly.

As for the young man? Hu Ming doesn't need to worry about him at all.

It would be truly unbelievable if this guy were killed by one of these greeting little creatures.

Hu Ming turned to look, and sure enough, it was true.

Before anyone knew it, the young man had already transferred the dagger to his left hand. Just like Hu Ming, the cold light of the blade shone brightly above his head, and his left hand danced like a phantom.

The dagger in the young man's hand was only about 20 centimeters long, so it was somewhat unrealistic for him to be able to defend himself perfectly like Hu Ming.

However, the young man had been practicing his two-finger probing technique for sixty or seventy years, and his skill was so refined that he easily caught the missed crystal blade between his two fingers.

Two-finger probing is not just about cutting through gold and jade; in terms of sensitivity, it is also rare in the world.

Hmm, suddenly I have a feeling of being in a Kato-sensei role.
Ahem, that's evil.

After a long while, the rain of crystal blades stopped.

The area around their feet was already densely covered with shattered crystal fragments, almost burying half of their bodies.

Looking up, the crystal wall above had been completely destroyed, revealing the gray-black rock layer.

puff~
Hu Ming and the young man exchanged a glance, their eyes both flashing with strange expressions, as if they were of one mind. They then swiped their weapons across their palms.

In an instant, a crimson light flashed, and the two seemed oblivious to the pain, smearing the blades with blood from their wounds.

At the same time, the young man's gaze toward Hu Ming grew even brighter.

It was as if it were telepathy; instinctively, the young man sensed it immediately.

Like his precious blood from a Qilin, Hu Ming's blood contains a magical power to ward off evil!
In fact, the young man felt that Hu Mingbao's blood was slightly more powerful than his own Qilin blood!
