Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 242 Temporary Control of the Corpse Beetle
Bang bang bang!!
Someone fired, and without hesitation, several shots accurately shattered the can on the figure's head.

It wasn't an angry Wu Sansheng, Wu Xie, or Panzi. Little Brother was even less likely to be involved.

It's Hu Ming.

The eerie tune he was playing was accompanied by the smoke rising from the Black Star pistol in Hu Ming's hand.

Hu Ming's marksmanship is excellent.

At this distance, there is absolutely no possibility of misjudging.

All the shots hit the canisters, without harming the other party in the slightest.

To put it bluntly, it was just Hu Ming's perverse sense of humor acting up...

Anyway, someone has to shoot to scare this fat guy, so why can't it be him?
"Damn it! You're asking for it! Just wait till I get back, I'll teach you a lesson!"

The man, who had a perfectly intact tile ring around his neck, was also startled and began to curse.

But these five menacing-looking men were all armed with real weapons, and the man wasn't stupid; he simply slipped away.

"Damn it, you scared us and you want to run away?!"

Seeing this, Panzi grinned maliciously and chased after him without saying a word.

The group shook their heads; it was too late to stop Panzi.

Fortunately, Panzi had retrieved the gun from Wu Sansheng before he went there.

"Alright, alright, what's the point of you going over there? You might as well go check the side chambers."

"Let's see where that bastard dug his tunnel from. Maybe there are other hidden tombs inside."

Wu Sansheng's eyes flickered, and he pulled Wu Xie back, who wanted to go and help.

As they spoke, the two walked one after the other toward the right-hand side chamber.

Hu Ming and the young man stopped where they were and did not follow. They exchanged a glance and nodded almost imperceptibly.

Without saying a word, the young man went straight back the way he came to the tomb where the blood corpse of King Mu of Zhou was located.

This is not the place to talk.

Hu Ming, on the other hand, went to the wall of the tomb chamber and lightly tapped the stone wall with two fingers of his right hand.

"found it!"

The situation inside this Warring States period tomb is extremely complicated.

This "main burial chamber" was merely a decoy, intended to mislead and trap later tomb raiders.

Beneath this burial chamber, there are also interconnected passageways and tomb passages.

Using his Thousand Machines Technique, Hu Ming has found the entrance mechanism to a secret passage.

Hu Ming glanced back at the right side chamber and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

His keen senses and intuition told him that Wu Xie was the only one there at the moment.

Wu Sansheng has already slipped away.

Poor nephew...

Click
Hu Ming gently pressed the hidden mechanism.

The stones beneath their feet trembled slightly, and then vanished into thin air, revealing the dark passage below.

Having anticipated this, Hu Ming steadied himself and offered no resistance, allowing his body to slide in under the influence of gravity.

Inside, there is a sloping, spiraling downward passage.

He slid for several minutes before falling to the ground. Hu Ming did a somersault and leaped out of the passageway, standing still with a pistol in his left hand and a knife in his right, cautiously observing his surroundings.

This is a three-way intersection.

The three dark tomb passages were completely silent, except for Hu Ming's soft breathing.

However, Hu Ming remained vigilant, sensing a faint warning coming from his intuition ever since he arrived.

rustling...

Sure enough, two minutes later, in the deathly silent space, strange sounds came from all directions almost simultaneously.

That was the sound of thousands of tiny insects crawling.

Upon hearing this voice, Hu Ming breathed a sigh of relief and completely relaxed.

This is a whole group of corpses.

This would be a huge problem for others, but for Hu Ming and his brother, it was just a trivial matter.

No, it's not even a problem.

At the bottom of the passageway wall, there are numerous tiny, almost imperceptible square gaps, approximately 10 x 20 cm in length and width.

That was a more secret passage, and it wasn't meant for anyone.

The next moment, like a gushing spring, a swarm of black corpse beetles poured out from the square opening.

In no time, the space around Hu Ming was almost completely filled with corpse beetles.

quantity…

Tens of thousands!
However, these corpse beetles simply surrounded Hu Ming, surging back and forth within two meters of his body, not daring to approach him at all.

Hu Ming grinned and chuckled.

Hu Ming's precious blood is somewhat different from Xiao Ge's.

After all, Hu Ming does not possess a single divine beast bloodline, but rather both dragon and phoenix bloodlines.

In fact, Hu Ming had already undergone several bloodline transformations before, and the concentration of his bloodline was now vastly different from what it used to be.

To put it dramatically, Hu Ming's blood was sent to the relevant institution for testing.

Even after testing with sophisticated instruments, the conclusion would likely be that it's difficult to determine whether Hu Ming is truly human...

Bloodline tattoos, the mystical power of which is ultimately rooted in the blood.

The mystical power within had already undergone a miraculous transformation of the blood.

At this moment, on Hu Ming's fair skin beneath his shirt, flowing tattoos resembling real dragons and phoenixes had quietly emerged.

The special aura of the mysterious power contained in the blood had already permeated the space within a two-meter radius through the flesh and skin.

This is why these corpse beetles dare not approach.

"Unfortunately, I'm in a bit of a rush and don't have time to play with you guys..."

Hu Ming slowly spoke, and then a terrifying aura erupted from his body, causing all the corpse beetles to freeze in place and dare not move again!
Hu Ming's phoenix bloodline is the ancestor of birds, and its effect on poisonous insects is more powerful than that of other divine beast bloodlines, making these corpse beetles have no desire to run away.

Then a red light flashed in Hu Ming's eyes. At Hu Ming's signal, the corpse beetles crawling all over the ground obediently made way for a road to heaven.

They dared not act rashly in the slightest.

These corpse beetles are now under Hu Ming's temporary control because they are extremely afraid of the bloodline of the chief of birds in Hu Ming's body.
