Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 857 Goodbye Black Bear!
As the chieftain of the Posi Serpent Clan spoke, he walked toward the Skeleton Grand Wizard.

As the chieftain of the Posi Serpent Clan prepared to hand over his body to the Skeleton Wizard, the giant dragon hovering in mid-air suddenly shrank considerably.

Seeing this, the Skeleton Archmage waved to the dragon, then returned to the dark altar.

On the other side, after Hu Ming left with the Heavenly Pearl he had obtained, he prepared to leave this damned frozen city.

However, since Richard had destroyed the route they came by, they naturally could not return the way they came.

Standing outside the frozen city, Hu Ming carefully observed the surrounding terrain.

"It's all thick ice and snow! Looks like getting out won't be easy!"

After observing the surrounding terrain, Hu Ming also felt a little worried about his current situation.

However, just as Hu Ming was thinking about how to get out, the dzi bead he had just obtained suddenly slipped from his hand.

Just as Hu Ming was at a loss, he saw the Heavenly Pearl crash directly into a thick layer of ice and snow.

When the celestial bead struck the ice and snow, it instantly burst into flames.

The flames seemed to pierce through the thick layer of ice and snow in an instant, and soon a passage appeared in front of Hu Ming.

Even Hu Ming was amazed by this sight.

"Is this paving the way for me?"

Looking at the dzi bead back in his hand, Hu Ming was simply incredulous.

And so, very quickly, Hu Ming began to walk along the passage that day.

Although he didn't know much about what was ahead, Hu Ming felt that as long as he followed this path, he wouldn't go wrong.

Time passed, and after Hu Ming had been walking through the passage for an unknown amount of time, a glimmer of light finally appeared ahead.

Seeing the light shine into the passage, Hu Ming was overjoyed.

"Great! We're finally out!"

Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, Hu Ming rushed out in three quick steps.

When Hu Ming burst out of the ground, the ice and snow beneath his feet began to tremble, as if it were about to collapse.

Seeing this, Hu Ming decisively started running across the icy wasteland.

However, given Hu Ming's speed, even if he reached his limit, he probably wouldn't be able to escape the area of ​​the landslide.

Fortunately, Hu Ming hadn't run far before he spotted the snowmobile he had left behind.

Hu Ming quickly hopped on a snowmobile and sped away.

Just as Hu Ming left the area where the landslide was about to occur, a loud bang finally echoed from the icy, snowy landscape.

Hearing the loud noise, Hu Ming couldn't help but turn around and look. However, when he turned around, he found that a huge crater had formed behind him.

Clearly, the frozen city was buried inside, and all the people inside must have perished.

This put Hu Ming at ease, as he no longer needed to worry about anyone catching up. With his worries gone, Hu Ming drove towards the place where the blind man and the others were being held.

Time passed second by second, and Hu Ming didn't know how long he had been driving on the snow before he finally reached an area with buildings.

After seeing that area, Hu Ming also became more vigilant.

However, before Hu Ming could get close, someone waved to him from next to the building.

Looking at the people waving from afar, Hu Ming quickly recognized them as Juliet and the blind man, as well as the young man and the blind man.

Seeing that they were all safe and sound, Hu Ming was relieved.

When Hu Ming arrived in front of them, Juliet was the first to rush forward and hug him.

"Ahem! I'm telling you! Second Master, you should be more careful too!"

Just as Juliet hugged Hu Ming, the blind man also came up and started joking with Hu Ming.

Only then was Hu Ming released by Juliet and slowly walked to the blind man.

"Heh! Looks like you're alright! I was worried they'd skin you alive!"

As Hu Ming spoke, he punched the blind man in the chest, and then the two men clenched their hands tightly together.

"How could that be! I still want to make big money and live a good life! If they skin me alive, how can I survive! I thought they would be easy to deal with this time, but I accidentally messed things up!"

The blind man laughed, and from his smile, Hu Ming saw the blind man's joy.

"Thank you so much! Really, thank you so much, brother! Without you two, I'm afraid I really would have been done for!"

After the blind man finished speaking, he gave Hu Ming another hug, and Hu Ming shook his head in response.

"Don't mention thanks! There's no need for formalities between us. I'm the one who should feel bad! This whole thing was caused by me, and I've made you all go through all this trouble!"

After everyone calmed down, they finally began their journey back.

Since this was the Antarctic region, the group quickly left the ice-covered area and then hired a car near an airport to catch a flight back home.

However, just as Hu Ming and his group arrived at the nearest city and were preparing to board a plane, another piece of news reached Hu Ming's ears.

The news concerned a golden manuscript. As for why Hu Ming was interested in the golden manuscript, it was because when he received the news, someone mentioned dzi beads.

When it comes to dzi beads, Hu Ming naturally wouldn't let any clue slip by.

After all, the dzi bead is what Hu Ming wants most right now.

Hu Ming quickly made a decision: to postpone his return to China and begin investigating the gold manuscript.

Upon hearing Hu Ming's decision, everyone expressed their willingness to follow him.

However, Hu Ming ultimately rejected all of them. In his view, anything bad would inevitably happen if dzi beads were involved, so he did not want his friends to be in danger.

So Hu Ming finally decided to embark on his own journey to pursue the dzi bead.
