Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 70

"I understand, this is a type of anti-theft coffin," Hu Ming said, glancing at Yang Xueli and the others.

Then Hu Ming touched the coffin and walked around it. Combining his memories with those of the archaeologist, he remembered a type of coffin he had seen in The Mystic Nine. It was very different in size and shape from this coffin, but the anti-theft structure of the coffin was the same.

“This is a whistle coffin,” Hu Ming said, but he frowned. How could he see such a whistle coffin here? He didn’t remember seeing this kind of thing in his previous life!

It seems that his arrival has changed quite a few things.

There must be many secrets inside this coffin; we must open it and take a look.

"What? It's a whistle coffin?" Hu Bayi asked in surprise. He had heard his grandfather talk about whistle coffins before.

"What is a whistle coffin?" Yang Xueli and the fat man looked at the two cousins ​​in confusion. It was the first time they had ever heard of such a coffin.

"I just want to ask, can we open it?" The fat man didn't care what kind of coffin it was; as long as it could be opened and there was treasure inside, that was enough.

"Don't give me that nonsense. If you can open it, then open it. If you can't, then smash it open." Fatty was always all about brute force. Hu Bayi rolled his eyes at him, annoyed. "If you miss, then try smashing it. And can you please not bother Mingzi? Let him think it over."

Yang Xueli nodded in agreement.

Hu Ming ran his hand along the coffin. His senses were now beyond those of ordinary people, so this gave him a general understanding of the coffin's structure.

"Everyone, get out of the way. This coffin is no ordinary object," Hu Ming said seriously.

The fat guy and the others retreated four or five meters. Hu Ming glanced at them and said, "That's not enough. Retreat further. Hide over there."

"You're making it sound so mysterious, it's scaring me," the fat man chuckled and ran over.

"Mingzi, be careful," Hu Bayi said, casting a concerned look at Hu Ming. Then he led Yang Xueli to the fat man's side, the three of them at least ten meters away from the coffin. The head of the coffin was directly facing their direction.

The coffin was square, four meters wide, four meters long, and one and a half meters high. It was a large ice stone coffin.

Seeing that Hu Bayi and the others had retreated so far, Hu Ming felt safe. He suddenly dodged on the ground and leaped directly onto the 1.5-meter-high coffin. He raised his right foot and stomped down.

boom.

With a dull thud, the coffin shook slightly.

A chain-like rattling sound came from the coffin. Then, countless thumb-sized round holes appeared around the large coffin, from which countless dense, tiny poison needles shot out with a hissing sound.

The poison needles are over ten centimeters long and can travel seven or eight meters. If they were around a coffin, no one could withstand such a dense and rapid barrage of hidden weapons.

Fortunately, Hu Ming was standing on top of the coffin, so the poison needles did not shoot upwards.

After the poison needles were fired, the small holes of the mechanism retracted into the interlayer of the stone coffin. The small round stones that were exactly the same as the holes retracted back, slightly protruding out, and returned to their original positions, making the entire stone coffin the same as before.

Upon seeing this, Hu Ming clenched his right fist and slammed it into the coffin. With a crack, a hole larger than his fist appeared on the top of the stone coffin.

Hu Ming shone his headlamp inside and found there was another layer below. Upon seeing this, Hu Ming jumped down.

“Those poison needles were really insidious. If it weren’t for Mingzi, we would all be dead if we had rashly opened the coffin…” The fat man quickly ran over, looked at the poison needles all over the ground, and couldn’t help but shudder.

"At first, we didn't recognize it as a whistle coffin. Fortunately, Professor Chen and the others stopped us from opening it, otherwise..." Hu Bayi's pupils shrank as he said this. If we hadn't been prepared, who could have dodged the speed of those poison needles?
He and Yang Xueli exchanged a glance, both feeling a wave of fear.
