Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 285 Everyone has their own thoughts

To everyone's astonishment and horror, the large blue-and-white porcelain jar with dragon and cloud motifs began to roll on its own without any external force.

It rolled all the way towards the stone gate, and after exiting the gate, it seemed to arc through the air and disappear into the dark tunnel.

The sound of the porcelain jar rolling gradually faded into the distance.

For a moment, silence fell over the side room.

Hu Ming observed the changes in everyone's expressions with great interest.

Of course, let's leave aside Zhang the Bald's horrified expression.

Hu Ming even suspected that, given the young man's acting skills, twenty years from now, he wouldn't be a hundred or a thousand times better than any of those young heartthrobs.
"At this point, none of us know how much time the air inside the tomb can sustain us."

"Although the situation with that blue-and-white dragon and cloud porcelain jar is strange, and perhaps there really is the zongzi you mentioned inside, we cannot stay here and stop here."

With a slight frown, Ah Ning said in a deep voice.

This girl came to this shipwreck tomb under orders from Qiu Dekao.

She doesn't have the time to waste in the annex.

Zhang the Bald fully demonstrated the image of a younger brother who greatly agreed with his boss's opinion, nodding and agreeing incessantly.

The group exchanged glances and nodded.

Indeed, it would be unwise to waste time here.

After checking the equipment, the weapons were placed in the most convenient spot.

At the fat man's insistence, he led the way out of the side room.

The passageway was pitch black inside, but under the illumination of the searchlight, it could be seen that it was a corridor built entirely of white marble bricks.

There are two light channels on the ground near the walls of the passageway. At the end of the passageway, there is a jade door, and there is also a slightly smaller jade door on each side.

All three jade doors were open, clearly indicating that someone had already gone inside to explore.

Without further hesitation, everyone stepped into the passage.

After entering the passage, Hu Ming consciously led Yin Nanfeng to lag behind by a few points.

There are indeed mechanisms inside this passage, but they can never be triggered unless intentionally provoked.

but…

Hu Ming's lips curled up slightly as he looked at A Ning's figure ahead with a playful smile.

This girl can no longer be considered one of their companions.

Now that the underwater tomb has been found, she is also in the underwater tomb. For her and for Qiu Dekao, Hu Ming and the others are no longer of any use.

Besides Wu Sansheng, Qiu Dekao possesses the most detailed information about this underwater tomb.

Hu Ming knew that this girl was planning to use the mechanism in the passage to get rid of them.

……

……

As Hu Ming and his group advanced through the passage, each with their own thoughts, something else happened on the fishing boat outside. As mentioned before, Hu Ming had already deduced that ten of the twelve frogmen in Aning's team were spies from the Wang family infiltrated into the Qiudekao Company.

At this moment, Hu Ming and his team had already ventured deep into the underwater tomb, and it was time for them to get to work.

In a short period of time, the Wang family of ten had already taken control of the fishing boat.

Whether it was Ah Ning's men or the "innocent" captain and sailors, they had all been tied to the deck.

"Everyone on the ship has been apprehended, boss. Shouldn't we head down into the tomb soon?"

"That's the tomb of our ancestor, Wang Zanghai. Under no circumstances should we hand over our ancestor's secrets to those bastards!"

A young man approached the leader and said angrily.

"Of course, anyone who dares or intends to defile the ancestral tombs shall die!"

"Whether he's from the Nine Gates or Qiu Dekao's group, not one of them will leave here alive today. The secret left by our ancestors belongs to the Wang family!"

The leader nodded, a black mask covering most of his face, revealing a pair of eyes that gleamed with a cold, sinister light.

"Everyone get ready, we're going into the water. Remember, the first priority after we're in is to clean up the ancestral graves."

"Those who dare to defile our ancestors' tombs, leave no one alive!"

After glancing at the time, the leader decisively gave the order.

"What should we do with these people?"

"The follow-up support troops will take over them and bring them all back. After the computing center's assessment, there may be one or two people that we need."

"Our Wang family is a family that shoulders a great mission, and we need a constant stream of fresh blood to join us!"

Hu Ming's assessment of the Wang family was entirely correct. The so-called Wang family was actually a group of ambitious people who gathered together based on the incomplete secrets left behind by Wang Zanghai.

Over the years, the so-called Wang family has long since changed. It is no longer the ambitious Wang family that wanted to replace the Zhang family and peek into the secrets behind the bronze door.

However, the Wang family, busy preparing for the water to enter the water, did not notice.

Behind the terrified expressions on the faces of the captains and sailors whom they looked down upon was a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

Some were directed at the Wang family, and others at Aning's people.

Originally, these people were already preparing to take action.

However, upon hearing from the Wang family that there were follow-up support troops, he suppressed the coldness in his eyes.

Even though a centipede dies but does not fall down, its power, though greatly diminished from what it once was, is still all-pervasive in this land.

As early as half a month ago, when Wu Sansheng and Qiu Dekao reached an agreement to cooperate, "he" had already begun preparations.

This is what Hu Ming meant when he said that all sorts of gods, demons, and monsters had gathered on this fishing boat.

Every single one of them was an innocent victim, and not one of them was a kind soul.

Compared to the underwater tomb, staying on this ship is the most dangerous thing.

When it comes to the long-desired immortality, "he" will not have the slightest pity, nor will he allow anyone other than them to obtain the secret of immortality.
