Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 674 Solved!

"who is he?"

The man with the face keenly sensed the blue-robed man's gaze, his eyes, drawn with sharp lines, narrowed, and he had a bad feeling.

"The man who caused chaos in your Kambalo tribe's territory and even in the world inside the Bronze Gate that you are guarding years ago."

"Your... natural enemy, who almost cruelly slaughtered your entire race and the gods you worshipped!"

Hu Ming grinned, his white teeth gleaming faintly, which, against the backdrop of this eerie environment, sent a chill down one's spine.

“Originally, I hoped to extract some information about this place from your final attempt, but I've made an unexpected discovery and now I almost know the great secret this place once held, so…”

"So, you're useless now, old man. A person who died thirty years ago shouldn't linger on the past. If there really is an underworld, then the underworld is your final destination."

"And I will be your guide. Go in peace!"

Hu Ming twirled the small bronze dagger in his hand. His face turned cold, and golden light flashed in his eyes. His left hand, covered in white mist, shot out like lightning and grabbed the man's face tightly.

A human face is inherently a state of being neither real nor illusory, and it is difficult for ordinary matter to capture. However, the mist generated by the Golden Eyes can accurately capture it.

To completely eliminate this hidden danger, these strange abilities ultimately come from the study of bronze.

Therefore, a bronze dagger is the best way to solve the problem.

A cold flash of electricity ripped through the air, and amidst the horrified and desperate gazes of the man, the bronze dagger severed its connection to Liang Wan's body with the ease of a hot knife through butter!
"Aaaaaah!!! Impossible!!! I've spent most of my life studying bronze, dedicating my entire life's effort to achieving this level..."

"I'm not reconciled!!! I should be the only true god in this world, how can it end like this!?"

Peeled from Liang Wan's body, the bronze luster of the human face was fading at a visible rate.

Faced with the wailing of the human face, Hu Ming didn't even bother to look at it. His eyes returned to normal, the mist dissipated, and he let the dim bronze light that the human face had transformed into seep into his palm and float from mid-air to the position of the faceless god statue.

"Is it really okay to just leave him alone? Such a peculiar existence is fraught with too many uncertainties, what if..."

Zhang Yueshan helped Liang Wan put on her coat, carried her on his back, and asked with a frown, looking worried.

He was terrified that this evil thing would haunt Liangwan again.

"I just wanted to confirm something. The altar, the sacrifice of all people, apart from the fact that this guy Wumiao is a pretentious idiot, may be because he needs to get something from the people who are being sacrificed."

"Of course, this Kambalo man is in a state that can hardly be called human right now... but my intuition tells me that something interesting is about to happen. Here it comes!"

Hu Ming sheathed his dagger, his gaze fixed intently on the ball of light that had formed the human face. As the light approached the altar and reached the faceless statue, an unexpected event occurred!
Like an abyss, a dim black light suddenly emanated from the faceless statue, as if some ancient mechanism had been triggered. Strands of bronze color were peeled off from the light and slowly seeped into the faceless statue.

This scene... is extremely eerie!
Even with Zhang Rishan's and Lan Pao's composure, they couldn't help but gasp in shock, their hearts filled with fear.

There was a time when they thought they were a small group of people who held all the secrets in the world, but everything that is happening today is constantly challenging their understanding and destroying their values.

Five thousand years ago, in an even more ancient era, what strange and wondrous things happened on this mysterious and ancient land?
Neither of them came to their senses until the light faded and the statue returned to its ancient and unadorned appearance.

Only Hu Ming, from beginning to end, had an expression of "I knew it" on his face.

Hu Ming proved some of his guesses.

Most of the mysterious events in this world are connected, and everything has its origin.

"interesting..…"

Hu Ming grinned silently.

China, Xinjiang, and Mount Everest, the world's highest peak.

At an altitude of over 8,800 meters, the place closest to the sky in the world, this place has always been a place devoid of life.

Every year, many people around the world try to conquer this mountain and bring their footprints to the summit, and they are willing to pay with their lives for it.

However, what no one knows is that about fifty years ago, in a secluded place beneath the glacier on the north shore peak, someone had been living in solitude for fifty years.

"The power of bronze?"

Beneath the glacier, a person whose face and figure were obscured by animal hides suddenly moved, looking at the dim light that gathered from the darkness to the heart, with a half-smile.

"It seems the power derived from those remnants obtained by those little guys five thousand years ago is nearing its end."

"However, after ten thousand years, has someone finally discovered the traces I left behind? The statue crafted with the 'Mother Stone' at its core—I never imagined it would still be useful after ten thousand years, bringing me a glimmer of hope."

"Since that's the case... let's go for a walk and take a look!"

The mysterious figure wrapped in animal skin moved, breaking the solid ice covering his body, standing up, shattering the glacier above his head, and striding down the mountain.

The figure in animal skin disappeared from the mountaintop without a trace...
