Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 614 Mr. Ma, watch out!
Spiny--
The rattlesnake was spinning faster and faster.

The ear-piercing sound of metal scraping against stone was almost enough to puncture eardrums. In a short time, the ouroboros had already slid ten full laps along its predetermined path!
At this moment, no one cared about the unpleasant friction sound; everyone was staring intently at the ring surrounded by the ouroboros!
Rumble...
Perhaps because a certain requirement had been met, the circular floor slowly descended, and the surrounding sand piled up inside.

The next moment, a square stone platform slowly rose up from the center!
On the stone platform stood an ancient blue stone coffin!
"The ouroboros, symbolizing death and rebirth; the crow, symbolizing longevity..."

"Everything here is arranged in a very strange way. My personal suggestion is that the tomb owner was probably not a peaceful person in such an odd environment!"

"Just for safety's sake, and this is just my personal opinion, it's best not to touch anything here!"

Wu Xie instinctively shielded Li Cu behind him, staring at the coffin, and kindly offered his advice.

"What if you slip?"

Su Nan didn't even glance at Wu Xie, but gestured to Eleven with her eyes.

As for Mr. Ma, he was completely out of his mind the moment he saw the coffin and couldn't listen to anything anymore.

He stood before the coffin, his expression bordering on madness!
Eleven understood Su Nan's meaning, dropped the flashlight in his hand, leaned forward, and used all his strength to push open the heavy coffin lid with a low shout.

"A muscular woman, huh...."

Upon seeing this, Hu Ming clicked his tongue lightly.

The coffin lid must have weighed at least several hundred kilograms. Although it would take a lot of effort to push it open, it was still far beyond what an ordinary young girl could handle.

Clearly, this girl with dreadlocks named Eleven is no match for an ordinary burly man in terms of strength!
"That's not the point, Uncle Ming. I have a bad feeling, it seems... the person inside the coffin isn't completely dead yet..."

Wu Xie had no interest in discussing this at all, and frowned as he spoke.

"What can we do?"

"If it's going to rain, it's going to rain; if a mother wants to remarry, she wants to remarry; if someone wants to die, what can anyone do? There's no way to stop them!"

Hu Ming shrugged and said nonchalantly.

However, before anyone knew it, the black knife that Hu Ming had put away had silently reappeared in his hand, and his expression was somewhat wary.
If Wu Xie could sense something was amiss, how much more so would Hu Ming?
Inexplicably, a strange intuition came to me.

That feeling was somewhat dangerous, yet extremely difficult to deal with.

It's strange in a way that's hard to describe.

Hu Ming felt as if he had experienced this feeling somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where it was right now.

As for abandoning the switch to avoid danger...

Despite Wu Xie's attempts to persuade Su Nan and the others, he himself was secretly itching to open his coffin!
Would someone in this line of work give up raising a coffin just because it's dangerous?
Then why would you be a tomb raider?
Why not just go home and get some sleep? It's much safer at home.

Calm, utterly calm!
There was no danger at all as Wu Xie had described. Seeing this, Boss Ma and Su Nan's guarded expressions eased slightly.

"The four arms and four legs are real, and the legendary monster city lord is real!"

"I was right, all absurd rumors will eventually be proven true!"

"If the Monster City Lord is real, then the legendary precious jade must also be real. Where is it? My treasure, where is my treasure?"

Boss Ma had completely lost his mind and was too lazy to even mock Wu Xie for his "misjudgment." He went straight into the coffin to search.

It is worth mentioning that, a thousand years have passed, and the four-armed, four-legged, two-headed corpse has not decomposed into skeletons; it has been perfectly preserved!
The body was slightly shriveled, but overall, it looked almost exactly like a living person!
You can even feel the elasticity of the skin and muscles when you touch it lightly!
"Perhaps this monster city lord used some special method to ensure his corpse remained intact for a thousand years?" "It's not that I doubt you, Hu Ming, but you're being a bit too paranoid. Of all the unlucky thieves in the world, how many people see so many strange things every day?"

"In that case, all the unlucky thieves in the world should have died long ago!"

Su Nan came to Hu Ming's side, and seeing Hu Ming's slightly furrowed brows, casually teased him.

"First of all, this is not some kind of monster city lord. A simple deduction is that this city lord was probably born as a conjoined twin. Although this situation is rare, it is not a monster."

"Secondly, you're right. Of the millions of ancient tombs in the world, only one in ten thousand will lead to something ominous or strange."

"But Su Nan, you know nothing about tomb raiding, and you know nothing about Wu Xie either!"

"In this world, there are always some people who are so bizarre that they make you question the meaning of life. Otherwise, why do you think Wu Xie's grandfather named him Xie (邪)?"

Hu Ming turned to look at Wu Xie with a subtle expression and sighed softly.

In short, as long as Wu Xie is around, Hu Ming never expects the ancient tomb to be peaceful and safe, and that nothing will happen.

That doesn't display at all!!
A string of question marks filled Su Nan's mind; she couldn't understand what Hu Ming was trying to say at all.
"...Hey, Uncle Ming, that's going too far!"

"That's all just a coincidence, a coincidence, okay?? All these years, you've all been away, and I've opened many ancient tombs myself, how come I haven't encountered anything?"

"I even suspect that it's you guys who are acting strangely! Besides, we don't make personal attacks, do we?"

Seeing that even Li Chu was looking at him with confusion and curiosity, Wu Xie couldn't hold back any longer and retorted repeatedly.

In the end, Wu Xie was completely self-righteous!
"Perhaps... it's because the four of us have incompatible birth charts? No, no, it should be that your birth chart clashes with Fatty's?"

"Fatty keeps urging you to open the coffin, but if you do, nothing good will ever come of it. I'll help you calculate it when we get back! You know, I do know a bit about the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams."

Hu Ming decisively distanced himself from the situation; this was something he absolutely could not admit to!
"Found it! This is the treasure that allows the Monster City Lord to travel eight hundred miles a day and fly in broad daylight! Legend has it that its power is enough to reattach severed limbs!"

"That's great, that's great!!!"

Boss Ma had already pulled a dark green oval jade from the conjoined twin city lord's arms, and exclaimed in surprise as he held it in his palm!
The group turned their gazes over, their expressions suddenly widening in shock, their pupils contracting sharply, and the hairs on their bodies standing on end!
Without a sound, the conjoined twins slowly sat up, their four eerie green eyes fixed on Boss Ma's back!
"...Nephew, what do you have to say this time?"

Hu Ming tightened his grip on his knife, still in the mood to tease Wu Xie.

"What do you mean? Maybe Mr. Ma can't die yet?"

Wu Xie pulled out the big white dog leg and said unhappily.

Despite this, Wu Xie made no move, simply watching calmly as the two-headed city lord got up and slowly stretched out his four arms toward Boss Ma.

"Damn it! Mr. Ma, watch out, there's danger!"

Su Nan glared at Hu Ming and Wu Xie, who were clearly going to stand by and watch, and rushed towards Boss Ma, exclaiming loudly at the same time.

"What."

Having obtained what he wanted, Boss Ma regained some clarity and subconsciously looked at Su Nan, and then...
Pfft!!!
Four arms simultaneously pierced through Boss Ma from behind!!!
"Hehehehe... How is this possible? How could I possibly die here? I just got the jade..."

"...I'm not reconciled..."

A large amount of blood gushed out from the bottom of his mouth. Boss Ma's eyes dimmed at a visible speed. He forcefully released Bao Yu with both hands and watched Bao Yu fall to the ground with resentment.
