Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 297 Is it you?
To be honest, in the world of Daomu Biji, there are only a few ways to achieve immortality, and there's no way to come up with any new tricks over and over again.

Human-animal symbiosis, bronze meteorite jade corpse beetle pills, etc...

Of course, there might be a way to achieve immortality behind the bronze door, but Hu Ming didn't know much about that.

Who would have thought that Wang Zanghai, without saying a word, secretly researched a new method that seemed to lead to immortality?

This is a bit scary.

With a melancholy air, Hu Ming lit a cigarette and, quite unceremoniously, plopped down on the coffin lid.

Hu Ming had a strange premonition that one day he would meet Wang Zanghai in person.

This feeling is hard to describe, but it suddenly popped into my head and was so intense.

"Nanfeng, we should leave now. If we don't leave now, we might really be buried in the sea along with this underwater tomb."

After a long silence, Hu Ming stubbed out his cigarette and patted his cheeks to perk himself up.

At this moment, in Hu Ming's ears and mind, Wu Xie and the others had already climbed out of the tunnel and arrived at the top dome.

Hu Ming even heard their conversation with unusual clarity; they were now discussing how to get out.

"Buried in the sea?"

Yin Nanfeng was taken aback, unable to understand Hu Ming's meaning.

Look around.

The building structure here is very sturdy; there shouldn't be any risk of sudden collapse, right?
"Wu Xie and the others have already discussed blowing up the dome to get out. Once the dome is destroyed, what do you think our chances of survival are if we stay in the underwater tomb?"

Hu Ming casually shrugged and replied with a few more exquisite burial items from the coffin.

To be honest, Hu Ming is really not short of money these days.

If all the treasures he kept in his personal space were taken out and sold, even setting aside the inflated prices, the market value would be astronomical.

With these abilities, Hu Ming could easily make anyone a local tycoon.

But as the saying goes, a thief never leaves empty-handed!
You have to love what you do. Now that you've taken the job, how can you possibly go back empty-handed?
This is a matter of professional ethics, and it's a very serious issue.

"You didn't overhear that, did you? Pah! A lady shouldn't swear..."

"Uncle Ming, aren't your ears a bit too sharp? If it's really as you say, Wu Xie and the others have reached the top floor, and we're at the bottom floor. How many floors are there between us? How can you hear their conversation so clearly?"

Yin Nanfeng was instantly shocked. Her servant was quite accomplished in hearing, but he was far inferior to Hu Ming.

After all, the walls inside this tomb are specially made and have a certain soundproofing effect!

Even the mythical creature with the super-eared ears couldn't be more amazing, could it?
"Hmm, even more capable than your servant. But I can definitely hear it, and I can even hear and smell it."

As he spoke, Hu Ming looked at Yin Nanfeng's lower abdomen with a strange smile.

The gaze and smile were so striking that Yin Nanfeng couldn't even manage to ignore them, even if she wanted to.

In an instant, Yin Nanfeng's alluring face turned bright red.

She understood what Hu Ming meant!
The human body always emits subtle sounds during its life activities.

For example, there are some subtle sounds that Yin Nanfeng's body makes during those few days each month.

These sounds are inaudible to others, but Hu Ming can barely hear them now!

Hu Ming could smell the blood!

Once his bloodline power is unleashed, his five senses will become stronger again, and he will hear even more things. This is why Hu Ming needs some time to adapt to this situation.

There's no other reason than that in that state, there are simply too many irrelevant noises in your ears.

The brain needs to expend a lot of unnecessary energy to decipher the information carried in these sounds.

To be honest, this feeling isn't very pleasant.

Hu Ming made up his mind: after returning home, he would stay in the villa that the big gold tooth in Hangzhou had bought for him and be a couch potato for a week.

"But then again, you're really going all out... You actually dared to go into the water with me in this kind of situation."

Aren't you afraid your body won't be able to handle it?

On the way back, Hu Ming teased Yin Nanfeng relentlessly, with a hint of jokingness.

"Uncle Ming, you still dare to say that! I never intended to go into the water in the first place, okay?"

"I only planned to wait for you on the boat from the beginning, but you insisted that it wasn't safe on the boat and that I had to get off, okay?"

"Although this sea area is near the border and is rather chaotic, with my connections and the people on the boat, there shouldn't be any accidents, right?"

Yin Nanfeng rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Although her good physical condition alleviated the problem to some extent, it was still somewhat inconvenient.

"You'll see when we get back on the ship. You'll definitely thank me."

Hu Ming smiled mysteriously, still keeping the matter a secret.

In short, Wang Zanghai's shipwreck tomb involves too many things, and has attracted the attention of many parties.

The fishing boat they arrived on was a mixed bag, carrying all sorts of goods.

Fortunately, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the ship should have been emptied by the time they returned.

Hu Ming and Yin Nanfeng playfully left the main tomb chamber through the secret passage.

Only after they left.

A sudden gust of cold wind arose, and the eternal lamps on the dome went out in an instant.

Within the opened coffin, eerie green phosphorescent flames rose out of thin air.

A fleeting, ethereal figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

That figure isn't human!
No one in this world can float in mid-air.

The figure stared into the empty, dark passage, its mouth opening and closing silently.

If someone skilled in lip reading were here, they would understand that the figure is saying—

"Is his name Hu Ming? What an interesting junior. His bloodline power is quite intriguing; he can even conjure up the Ghost Seal out of thin air."
We will definitely meet again, Hu Ming.

Deep within the seven layers of the coffin, a palm-sized ancient bronze fragment is embedded, emitting a faint, mysterious energy field that sustains the figure's presence.

Hu Ming, who was chatting and laughing with Yin Nanfeng, stopped and looked at the tomb passage behind him, muttering, "Is it you?"

"What's wrong?" Yin Nanfeng asked Hu Ming.

Hu Ming glanced at Yin Nanfeng in front of him, shook his head, and without saying anything more, continued to lead her away!
