Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 832 Entrance!

Hearing Liang Ping's words, Hu Ming knew that ordinary methods of solving the problem would definitely not work.

The only way to leave this underground palace and reach the main burial chamber is to follow the tomb owner's plan.

However, Hu Ming didn't even know who the tomb owner was, let alone figure out what the tomb owner was thinking.

Just as Hu Ming and his group were in a passive position, the stone pillars around the underground palace suddenly began to move.

Seeing this, everyone became alert.

"Damn it! Who messed with this stuff? It was fine just now, how did it suddenly start moving?"

"I don't know! Look, the underground palace seems to be shrinking! And those passages are closed too! What do we do, boss!"

Seeing that the surrounding stone pillars were moving, Liang Ping's men panicked.

The fact that the passages they had previously traversed were now all closed off only added to the eeriness of the situation.

"Mr. Hu Ming! You'd better think of something quickly! This place is getting increasingly strange!"

Liang Ping was at a loss and could only look at Hu Ming, who was not far away.

As Liang Ping looked at Hu Ming, some liquid began to seep into the corners of the surrounding walls.

When the liquid flowed to Liang Ping's men, a foul odor instantly filled their nostrils.

"This smell! It's poisonous! Quickly put on your gas mask!"

Hu Ming immediately noticed that the smell was a bit off, so he quickly alerted everyone.

Upon hearing Hu Ming's reminder, everyone took out the gas masks they had on hand.

However, even as everyone put on their gas masks, several people still collapsed to the ground, clearly having inhaled too much toxic gas, and were beyond saving.

As everyone watched the poisoned individuals writhe in agony on the ground, several openings suddenly appeared in the surrounding walls. From these openings emerged several tall, mummified corpses.

Upon seeing the mummy's hideous face, everyone was immediately startled.

Even Hu Ming frowned at this moment. While Hu Ming and the others were extremely surprised, the mummified corpses rushed up immediately.

"Retreat quickly!"

Hu Ming reacted quickly, and in the next second, he pulled Juliet away.

At the same time, Juliet began firing her submachine gun.

However, the guns seemed to have no effect on the mummies, so they quickly rushed to Juliet's men.

Sizzle!
With a loud bang, Juliet's men were torn in two almost instantly.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this.

"This...this mummified corpse has incredible strength!"

"Damn it! What the hell is that?! Boss, save me!"

Not only Juliet's men, but Liang Ping's men were also surrounded by those mummies, many of whom had become innocent victims.

Just as the group was being entangled by the mummies, Hu Ming finally realized that something was wrong with them.

"These mummies are actually absorbing the poisonous gas! It seems this poisonous gas is the key to their resurrection!"

"The sources of these poisonous gases must be shut off!"

As Hu Ming spoke, he began searching the surroundings.

After searching for a while, Hu Ming discovered that the source of the poisonous gas was beneath those stone pillars.

The next second, Hu Ming rushed to the side of the stone pillar and prepared to move it back to cover the hole from which the poisonous gas was gushing out.

However, before Hu Ming could move the stone pillar, several steps appeared in his peripheral vision.

"Huh? Why are there steps at the entrances to these toxic gas-releasing holes?" Hu Ming carefully examined the entrances to the toxic gas-releasing holes, and after looking at each one, he realized that there were stone steps inside all the holes.

"Could the real passage be down here?"

Hu Ming also realized this instantly, and in his opinion, this was perhaps the wisdom of the ancients.

It's important to know that there were no gas masks in ancient times, so even if someone broke into this place, they would never have imagined that the entrance was actually below the gas cave.

Having figured this out, Hu Ming immediately moved the stone pillar away again.

"Follow me! The entrance is right beneath our feet!"

As Hu Ming spoke, he jumped into the cave entrance that was emitting poisonous gas. When Hu Ming entered the cave, the others hesitated.

"Has this guy gone mad? Isn't that all poison gas down there? Going down is just suicide!"

"Damn it! That guy's trying to screw us over, isn't he? What do we do, boss?"

Liang Ping's men clearly didn't trust Hu Ming, so they all sided with Liang Ping and didn't follow Hu Ming...

At this moment, only Juliet and her group followed Hu Ming into the cave without any suspicion.

Seeing this, Liang Ping also began to struggle internally.

"I can't worry about anything else! I'm going to die anyway, might as well go with him!"

After saying that, Liang Ping ran straight to the cave entrance and then jumped down.

As for Liang Ping's men, after seeing their leader follow Hu Ming into the cave, they hurriedly followed.

However, not everyone was so lucky. Just as everyone was rushing into the cave, several more people were grabbed by the mummies.

Soon, several more of Liang Ping's men were killed.

In the dark cave beneath the stone pillar, Hu Ming was the first to turn on his flashlight. As the flashlight shone into the depths of the cave, exquisite murals came into view.

Hu Ming was overjoyed to see the mural.

"That's right! This is the passage leading to the main burial chamber!"

Hu Ming was a little happy at this moment, and behind him, Juliet and her group also became excited.

"Ha, you actually guessed right!"

Finally, when Liang Ping saw the mural, he also spoke up somewhat indignantly.

"Those mummies don't seem to dare come in! That makes things much safer!"

"But everyone still needs to be careful! This passage is usually the most dangerous!"

As Hu Ming spoke, he carefully walked forward.

As Hu Ming walked forward, he repeatedly reminded them not to touch any of the items.

They even followed Jiangnan's footsteps with every step, naturally to avoid guessing the trap.

However, Liang Ping's men would never listen to Hu Ming. Just as Hu Ming was leading the way, some people behind him were riddled with arrows.

Seeing this, Hu Ming couldn't help but shake his head.

"Those who don't heed the advice of their elders will suffer the consequences!"

After Hu Ming finished speaking, he walked forward again.

After walking an unknown distance, Hu Ming finally saw a lamp burning brightly in front of him.

Perhaps due to its age, the ever-burning lamp had already gone out.

"We're almost at the main burial chamber! Everyone, pay attention!"

Hu Ming knew that the main burial chamber should be behind the ever-burning lamp, so he spoke again!
