Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 627 No Time to Explain!
rustling.
rustling.
Just as the group split up, a faint sound suddenly came from the sand.

"Are those... tracks left by a snake in the desert?"

Li Cu stopped, listening to the sounds around him and looking at the crawling marks on the desert floor, and asked with a frown.

"A snake? Perhaps... But Wu Xie, it seems your efforts just now were in vain!"

"That monster under the sand doesn't even want to spare a dried corpse, let alone a living person!"

Hu Ming turned around and pointed to the newly built mass grave, and said softly.

"What?"

Wu Xie was taken aback, turned around and looked, and sure enough.

The newly built "grave mound" has now collapsed, and the tombstone on it has disappeared, leaving a huge dent in the original spot!
"This isn't just not picky about food, it's clearly starved for too long! It won't even let go of old, dried-out meat; it must have been starving for at least half a century..."

Wang Meng's expression changed, and she clicked her tongue.

The mummified corpses were dragged away; this was something they never expected...

"What? There's something under the sand? Isn't it a snake? What are you talking about?"

Li Chu had a bad feeling.

He knew those bastards were hiding a lot from him.

But honestly, this feeling is really unpleasant.

Li Chu suddenly understood why Americans in movies hate it when others hide things from them...

"No time to explain, get in the car! Pshaw! I mean, run!"

"That thing underground has sensed our presence! Run!"

Suddenly, Hu Ming's expression changed, and he shoved Li Cu, who was standing still, throwing him three to five meters away.

"Damn it, you're doing it again. Holy crap!!! Hu Ming!!!"

Li Chu got up, rubbing his aching back, and was about to scold him when he suddenly saw it!
Where he had stood, a withered, yellow, seven-fingered ghost claw had suddenly appeared!
That ghostly claw was clearly the same seven-fingered ghostly claw on his back!!!
However, Li Chu had no time to think about these things at the moment!

Hu Ming deduced that he was still in the same place, but instead, Hen Mei was entangled by ghost claws and forcibly dragged down into the desert!
Within a few breaths, half of Hu Ming's body had sunk in!
For the first time, Li Chu saw the word "helplessness" in Hu Ming, a guy whose true nature was hard to fathom!
With a look of utter despair on Hu Ming's face, his body was slowly pulled into the sand by the ghostly claws and disappeared without a trace!!!
".run!!!"

Just before his head sank in, Hu Ming looked at Li and suddenly gave a bitter smile, then roared!
"Hu Ming!!!"

Ignoring his past fear of Hu Ming, tears welled up in Li Cu's eyes, his heart aching terribly.

"Uncle Ming!!!"

"Second Master!!!"

At the same time, Wu Xie and Wang Meng both cried out in pain.

Damn it, this isn't the script we agreed on! Wasn't it supposed to be me first? Wu Xie, though his face was filled with grief, was inwardly agonizing.

He clearly wanted to be the first, to leave a deep impression on Li Chu.
Tsk, whatever, it doesn't affect the overall situation anyway!
With a sigh, Wu Xie wiped his eyes and looked at the grief-stricken Li Chu.

"Run, Li Chu, run without looking back! It's dangerous here, there are ghosts under the desert, run! Don't worry about us!"

Wu Xie shouted loudly at Li Cu, and at the same time pulled Wang Meng forward as well.

suddenly!!!
The moment Wu Xie and Wang Meng took their first step, the sand below stirred again!
"It's over!! Li Chu, get out of here!! I'll make you get lost! Find a way to leave this place!"

Wu Xie's expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"Wu Xie!! Wang Meng!!!"

Li Cu watched helplessly as Wu Xie and Wang Meng were dragged away by the ghost claws and swallowed by the desert. He stood there dumbfounded, his mind blank.

"Aaaaaaah!!! You bastards, you're all my bastards!! Who told you to die!!!"

After a while, Li Cu came to his senses, covered his head and cried out.

A ghostly claw was slowly approaching Li Chu. Li Chu dared not delay and fled in panic.

Now, Li Chu didn't know what to do, but preserving his life was the top priority!
"Ahhhh!!!"

Instinctively, Li Chu ran into the group of trucks, opened a door, and crawled inside. He clutched his head, his body trembling, and howled in pain. Outside, several menacing ghostly claws were pounding on the door.

After a few breaths, for some unknown reason, the ghostly claw suddenly and slowly receded.

In a daze, Li Chu vaguely realized that back then, those people surrounded the car not for Hai Zi, but to defend against these ghostly claws!
Beneath the sand layer lies a modern underground structure!
Hu Ming remained expressionless as the ghost claw pulled him down, then suddenly twisted his body, causing the ghost claw to stumble.

Then, a dark shadow flashed by, and the ghostly claw snapped off.

This is another version of Hu Ming's Cloud Blade!
"Wow, that's quite a mess, Hu Ming. Do you even remember the last time you ate sand?"

"I've rarely seen you look this disheveled."

A teasing voice came from beside Hu Ming's ear.

The one who made the move was Hei Xiazi, who had arrived early.

"Tsk, if I didn't need Wu Xie's lousy plan, do you think I would willingly suffer like this?"

Hu Ming snorted softly and patted the sand off his body.

"Wu Xie. Whoa, he's here as soon as you say it! Look, Wu Xie is here!"

Just as Hei Xiazi was about to say something, he and Hu Ming suddenly retreated.

The next instant, Wu Xie and Wang Meng were also pulled down.

The two attacked almost simultaneously, and two sharp blades flashed by, causing Wu Xie and Wang Meng to land in a sorry state.

"Damn, my ass hurts!"

Wu Xie cried out, clutching his sore buttocks.

"Nephew, that's ambiguous! What did that thing do to your butt?"

"Stop talking! I understand, you're no longer innocent!"

Hu Ming took a step back in disgust.

"...Fuck you."

Wu Xie's face was extremely pale, not from pain, but from being bullied.

He's over thirty, almost forty, how could he not understand?
After chatting, Hei Xiazi tossed a bottle of water to each of them, which was clearly the same as the three punches of the farmer that Hu Ming had given him earlier.

"Next, tonight should be my performance time... Wu Xie, forget it, you can't show up now."

"So, Hu Ming, what are your plans?"

"Should we wait here together for that kid upstairs to come back, or..."

The blind man asked softly.

"No, I need to go back. I have a lot of troublesome things to deal with. I need to go back and kill someone!"

"Some people have lived long enough; it's about time they went to report to the King of Hell!"

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he stood up and slowly walked deeper into the underground structure.

"Suit yourself! You're not Wu Xie, and those people can't do anything to you anyway."

"However, Hu Ming, be careful. We know nothing about this place, and no one knows what dangers lie inside."

The blind man gave some advice, still a little worried.

"Have you forgotten my abilities? The moment I arrived here, I figured out the layout of this place!"

Hu Ming pointed to his earlobe and walked away without looking back.

"Tsk, what an enviable home. I really don't know where he gets all those strange abilities. Even the young master isn't as mysterious as him, okay?"

The blind man clicked his tongue and sighed.

"Uncle Ming, I'm not blind for now, but I feel offended by what you just said!"

Wu Xie stared blankly at the blind man. What did that mean?
His words just now clearly implied that Wu Xie's fighting skills were subpar, right?
