Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 208 Qilin and Golden Dragon?

"Not human?"

"Qilin? Golden Dragon?"

The group was startled, looked at each other, and were speechless for a moment.

They knew that Ah Xiang's eyes were quite extraordinary, allowing her to see supernatural things that ordinary people couldn't.

The two lines of bloody tears in Ah Xiang's eyes proved that she had indeed seen something beyond her observational limits.

According to Lei Xianming, Ah Xiang's tears of blood usually come from seeing extremely vicious and filthy things.

Then...

Hu Bayi and the others looked in astonishment in Hu Ming's direction.

“Jinlong? Mingzi does indeed have a real dragon tattoo on his body. That tattoo is very magical, just like a living dragon.”

"The Qilin probably refers to that young man from the Zhang family."

"But then again, Mingzi has always been incredibly brave, so it's a bit unlike him. But Lao Hu, why don't you have his golden dragon tattoo?"

"Uh... I don't know either..."

Hu Bayi and Fatty had a lively discussion, exchanging their opinions back and forth.

“I once heard my maternal grandfather say that in some unknown places in Miao territory, their ancestors worshipped certain fierce beasts and regarded them as totems.”

"They use special herbs to tattoo totems on their bodies. Even thousands of years later, their descendants are born with these totem tattoos, which are extremely mysterious and possess extraordinary power."

"This young man should be a descendant of the ancient people of the Miao region. The tattoos on his body are probably totems worshipped by his ancestors, right? But what about Hu Ming's situation..."

Yang Xueli had a flash of inspiration and remembered some stories her maternal grandfather had told her when she was a child.

She remembers that when she was little, she didn't understand and didn't believe in these things, always listening to them as just stories.

But now it seems that this wasn't a story, it was real history!
“Mingzi might be just like that guy!” Hu Bayi nodded upon hearing this.

"Wait, Lao Hu, didn't Mingzi say before that his father's side of the family were from Guanzhong?"

"Why did you immediately jump to the Miao region?"

The fat man felt a little dizzy, but he remembered that Hu Ming and Lao Hu had told him about their family situation before.

"Hey, his father's ancestors were from Guanzhong, but what about his great-great ...

"For thousands of years, how many dynasties and wars has the Celestial Empire experienced? Can't you accept that my uncle's ancestors were Miao people thousands of years ago?"

Hu Bayi gave him a look that said, "You're so naive," and realized he had discovered the truth.

He also planned to ask his uncle if he met him when he got back!
"A five-clawed golden dragon? I know, I know. In the minds of you Central Plains people, dragons and qilins are auspicious beasts."

"So my brother Duji is a lucky star reincarnated from heaven?"

Chu Yi didn't understand the nonsense Hu Bayi was spouting, but he did realize that Hu Ming was no ordinary person!
Normally, the power of the bloodline tattoo lies dormant in the blood, and even Ah Xiang's incomplete ghost eyes cannot see it clearly.

But now, Hu Ming and Xiao Ge are both bleeding profusely, and the magical power emanating from their blood is captured by the Ghost Eye, which is why Ah Xiang sees this amazing scene!
Within Hu Ming's golden dragon eyes, his own and his brother's precious blood seeped into the crystal wall, suddenly transforming into a dragon and a qilin, surrounded by auspicious energy, step by step descending upon the pitiful, helpless, and aggrieved Thunder Mountain.

Originally, the Crystal Wall was Thunder Mountain's home ground, where he held the advantage. It was still somewhat difficult for Treasure Blood to penetrate the Crystal Wall, and it was quite challenging for him to catch up with Thunder Mountain's figure.

However, Hu Ming's Golden Dragon Eyes contain a mysterious power that he has yet to understand, and this power seems to be the natural enemy of Thunder Mountain.

Hu Ming merely instinctively channeled the mysterious power of his bloodline into the crystal wall, which was enough to intimidate Thunder Mountain, causing it to tremble in fear.

The blood net formed by their precious blood strangely merged into a thin blood film around Thunder Mountain, indistinguishable from each other.

Then, as if it were sentient, the crimson blood film suddenly contracted rapidly.

snort~
As if graffiti were being freely painted on a scroll, eerie white smoke rose from within the crystal walls.

Visibly, the dark shadows in the blood membrane begin to corrode the moment they come into contact with the precious blood.

As the blood membrane continued to contract, the dark shadow collapsed into a ball, tightly wrapped inside the blood membrane.

At the same time, the deafening rumble of thunder subsided.

Hu Ming even faintly detected fear and resentment in the muffled thunder.
"dragon?"

The young man had exceptional hearing and eyesight, several times more acute than the average person. Even from a distance of over a hundred meters, he could clearly hear Hu Bayi and the others' discussion.

"So you Zhang family are allowed to be descendants of the ancient ancestor Chiyou, but I'm not allowed to be a descendant of some great figure?"

"Besides, I might even be a descendant of the Yellow Emperor!"

Hu Ming grinned and began to spout serious nonsense.

"You do know something, you're very knowledgeable about the origins of our Zhang family."

"Your bloodline power is very strong, and your dragon eyes are also very strong!"

"You're amazing, Hu Ming!"

The young man didn't delve into Hu Ming's words, but simply gave him a deep look.

As they spoke, the blood membrane formed from their precious blood had completely engulfed Thunder Mountain Yasuo to its limit, making it the size of a fist.

White mist churned around the blood cells.

It was as if a crimson dragon ball had naturally formed within the crystal wall, surrounded by ethereal mist, making it extremely mystical.

Meanwhile, the muffled thunder in the cave had long since disappeared.

Upon seeing this, the young man stopped bleeding, his face turned pale, and he became unsteady on his feet.

Young man, you've lost too much blood.

Compared to the young man, Hu Ming wasn't much better off; after all, bloodletting is something no human being could do...
