Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 836 The Key is in Hand!

At that moment, as Hu Ming stared at that aged face, he saw that the aged face was also staring at Hu Ming.

"Young man! Over a thousand years have passed! Our meeting is fate! How about helping this old man find liberation?"

The old man coughed as he spoke.

As he coughed, the large mass of minced meat began to tremble.

At the same time, the limbs on that large mass of minced meat began to move.

"Oh no! They're awake! Young man, let's go!"

Seeing that the hands and feet around him were moving, the old man hurriedly reminded Hu Ming.

After hearing the old man's reminder, Hu Nan saw that the hands and feet began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just like Liang Ping before, now countless hands and feet began to stretch out towards Hu Ming from that lump of flesh.

Seeing this scene, Hu Ming felt a chill run down his spine.

If someone with trypophobia were standing here, they would be terrified.

"Run, young man! I don't want to hurt you!"

Just as those hands and feet were reaching out towards Hu Ming, the old man finally spoke again.

Seeing this, Hu Ming didn't dare to hesitate and immediately began to retreat.

However, just as Hu Ming was about to leave this damned tomb with Juliet, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a key hanging below the old man's face.

Upon seeing the key, Hu Ming immediately thought of the box in his hand.

Clearly, this key might be the key to opening that box, so Hu Ming decisively chose to stay.

"Looks like we'll have to deal with this huge lump of meat paste first if we want to get the key!"

As Hu Ming spoke, he put Juliet aside and then took the knife in his hand, walking towards the large lump of minced meat.

Seeing that Hu Ming was not retreating but instead approaching him, the old man frowned.

"Young man! These hands and feet have been formed from the people and animals devoured over thousands of years. Their strength is far beyond what an ordinary person like you can handle! You'd better leave quickly! I don't want to swallow you up too!"

The old man then began to persuade Hu Ming.

Hu Ming shook his head at the old man's advice.

"No! I need that key! So I'm not leaving until I get it!"

After Hu Ming finished speaking, he immediately made a cut in his hand with the knife, and then Hu Ming's precious blood stuck directly to the blade.

Hu Ming was quite confident in his precious blood, especially when facing such evil spirits, where it was even more effective.

So after smearing the knife with precious blood, Hu Ming went straight for the newly grown hands and feet and chopped them off.

When Hu Ming's knife touched those hands and feet, they immediately reacted as if burned by something, emitting a foul stench.

Then, amidst the stench, it slowly fell to the ground.

"Hmm? This knife can actually sever these limbs! It's truly extraordinary!"

On that large mass of minced meat, the old man's face showed some surprise when he saw this scene.

At the same time, he felt a little happy, thinking that this time might finally free him completely.

"That's all for now," the old man suddenly shouted at Hu Ming. "Boy! You can't cut off all these limbs like this! They'll keep growing back! The only way is to clear out all the Blood Explosion Pills in the cave, otherwise my body won't stop absorbing them!"

The old man then reminded Hu Ming, and at the old man's prompting, Hu Ming couldn't help but look at the hole beneath the large mass of minced meat.

When Hu Ming looked into the cave, he discovered that it was densely packed with Blood Explosion Pills.

Seeing this, Hu Ming became even more suspicious of the old man's identity.

"Don't doubt it! I am the one who refined these Blood Explosion Pills! But these Blood Explosion Pills have kept me here as a monster for over a thousand years! I really don't want to live like this anymore! So you must help me!"

As the old man finished speaking, he gave Hu Ming a look, signaling Hu Ming to destroy the Blood Explosion Pills.

Clearly, the old man was no longer able to control the large lump of flesh, otherwise he wouldn't be in so much pain.

And all of this is due to the side effects caused by those Blood Explosion Pills.

Looking at the large mass of minced meat in front of him, and then at the densely packed Blood Explosion Pills in the cave, Hu Ming finally made his final decision.

"Alright! I'll help you get out of this predicament!"

As Hu Ming spoke, he walked directly to Juliet's side and took the only grenade from her hand.

"This thing should be able to destroy that hole!"
Hu Ming released the safety from a grenade and carefully walked towards the hole.

Although many tried to stop him, Hu Ming eventually cut them all down with his knife.

So when Hu Ming arrived at the cave entrance, he threw the grenade in his hand into the cave without saying a word.

The next second, as Hu Ming lay down not far away, a loud noise finally came from the cave.

With a loud bang, the hole slowly collapsed.

"Great! Great! I can finally be free!"

As the hole finally disappeared beneath the tower, the Blood Explosion Pill slowly crumbled and exploded, and the large mass of flesh finally lost its momentum and ceased to move.

And the hands and feet on that large mass of minced meat were now beginning to peel off from the minced meat.

To be honest, seeing that huge lump of minced meat spread out on the ground as if it had melted made Hu Ming feel nauseous.

"That's it! The key!"

Despite feeling disgusted, Hu Ming quickly remembered the key and rushed over to retrieve it.

Just as Hu Ming arrived near the mass of flesh, he discovered that there seemed to be a person lying inside the large mass of flesh.

Upon closer inspection, the person was indeed the old man who had spoken earlier.

At this moment, the old man was seen breathing heavily, as if he might die at any moment.

Seeing this, Hu Ming also began to observe him from all sides, and soon found the key next to him. So Hu Ming used a knife to pick out the key.

"I finally got it!"

Hu Ming looked at the key in his hand and couldn't help but feel happy.

However, just as Hu Ming was about to smile, the old man's body suddenly began to move.

Seeing this, Hu Ming became alert once again.

However, just when Hu Ming thought the old man was going to continue attacking him, he found that the old man was looking at him with kind eyes, seemingly without any malice!
