Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 89 Accident
"Did we notice that there are also ghost cave characters on this stone beam?"

Ye Yixin held a flashlight and shone it on the stone beam from a distance, revealing a row of ghost cave characters in front of everyone.

Chu Jian was also extremely excited after seeing the Ghost Cave text.

“I feel that these words must be closely related to this ghost cave. There must be some extremely important information in them. I want to go up and copy it down.”

Upon hearing that Chu Jian was about to step forward, Professor Chen immediately objected.

However, at this moment, Sadi Peng spoke up, "Professor, I also want to go up."

"Alright then, just make sure you don't get too close, he can just write it down."

The two students applied to go at the same time, and Professor Chen did not stop them. After all, two people are better than one, and at least they can look out for each other. But gradually, Professor Chen noticed that something was wrong. After Xiao Sa and her colleague finished taking the photos, they did not come down. Instead, they walked towards the Corpse Fragrance Devil's Tongue.

"What are you two doing? Get down here right now, Xiao Sa! Hurry up! Didn't I tell you not to go over there?" Professor Chen said.

However, the two seemed not to have heard anything and continued walking forward.

And the Corpse-Scented Devil's Flower also began to tremble at this moment.

The buzzing sound gave people a strange sense of dread, as if they were being watched by something.

"Something's not right. They seem to be possessed," the fat man said.

"I'll go pull them back," Hu Bayi volunteered, and then ran forward. Seeing this, the fat man followed. But before they had run a few steps, a strange scene unfolded: Xiao Sa actually picked up a Luoyang shovel and slammed it down on his teammates in front of him.

As the Luoyang shovel fell, Chu Jian was unable to dodge in time and was directly hit, rolling into the Ghost Cave.

Everyone was shocked by what they saw, especially Professor Chen. Both he and Professor Chen wore expressions of grief and indignation as they shouted, "Xiao Sa, what are you doing? You bastard! Who gave you permission to lay a hand on him? That's your companion!"

However, Xiao Sa in front of the stone pillar seemed not to have heard the sound at all. Instead of stopping, he raised the Luoyang shovel and slammed it down on his own head.

Several times in a row, blood began to seep from Xiao Sa's forehead, but Xiao Sa seemed to feel no pain and kept staring at his head until he passed out. Everyone was puzzled as they looked at Xiao Sa lying in front of the stone pillar. No one expected that such a thing would happen. Xiao Sa actually killed someone and even knocked himself unconscious.

Looking at Xiao Sa lying on the ground, Professor Chen asked in bewilderment, "What happened? How could this happen? They were best friends. Why would Xiao Sa attack Xiao Chu?"

In his grief and anger, Professor Chen fainted from shock.

Seeing the professor fall to the ground, Hu Bayi said helplessly, "You all take care of the professor first, I'll go up and check on the situation."

“I’ll go too,” Fatty Wang said.

"What are you doing? You'll just cause trouble!"

“Who knows what’s going on up there? If you go up alone, you won’t have anyone to look after you. Let’s go together. That way, even if something happens, at least we can help each other,” Hu Ming said, still looking serious. Hearing this, Hu Bayi didn’t object. However, none of them noticed that the backpacks behind them were faintly glowing with runes.

Hu Ming, Hu Bayi, and Fatty walked up together.

Soon, the three of them arrived in front of the stone pillar. Looking at Xiao Sa lying on the ground, Hu Ming said, "Old Hu, Fatty, you two help Xiao Sa up. I'll keep watch for you in case anything happens."

"No problem!" Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang immediately walked towards Xiao Sa's direction. After helping Xiao Sa up from the ground, the group was preparing to retreat when the Corpse Fragrance Devil's Flower in front of them suddenly began to grow rapidly. Seeing this, Hu Ming quickly swung his knife and swept it across, cutting off the vines of the Corpse Fragrance Devil's Flower.

Taking this opportunity, everyone retreated to the stone platform. They then laid Xiao Sa on the ground, and Hu Bayi checked his pulse, shaking his head helplessly, saying, "It's too late. He's lost too much blood, has no pulse, and can't be saved!"

"What? No pulse? How is that possible? Xiao Sa, wake up! If you die, how am I supposed to face your family? Xiao Chu is gone, Aiguo is gone, and now you're going too. What face do I, as your teacher, have left to live?" Professor Chen, who had just been woken up by Ye Yixin, said with some grief.

It's worth noting that the students in this archaeological team were all personally selected by him.

Now that this has happened, how is he going to explain himself? How can he face his parents in the capital?
"Professor Chen, the dead cannot be brought back to life. You should try to think more positively," Hu Bayi said, trying to comfort him.

But before he could finish speaking, Xiao Sa, who had previously lost her pulse, suddenly sat up and kept muttering, "She's alive, she's alive, she's really alive."

"Little Sa? Are you alright? What came to life?" Hu Bayi asked instinctively.

Moreover, he kept his distance from Little Sara. After all, Little Sara was in real danger at the moment, especially since he had just checked her pulse. Logically speaking, Little Sara had stopped breathing and had no pulse. Under such circumstances, a person should have died without a doubt, but he was still alive and kicking.

This is really strange.

"Look quickly, those flowers have actually bloomed!" Fatty Wang said, pointing to the flowers in front of him, somewhat shocked.

Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively turned around, and sure enough, they saw that the Corpse Fragrance Amorphophallus had actually bloomed.

"Damn it, I've survived countless battles over the years. Do you think I'd be afraid of a mere flower? I'd like to see what this thing is all about," Hu Bayi said angrily.

As for the fat man next to him, he also gritted his teeth and raised his rifle, aiming at the Corpse Fragrance Devil's Tongue not far away.

However, Hu Ming was walking towards the Corpse Fragrance Devil's Tongue.

Upon seeing this, Hu Bayi hurriedly shouted, "Mingzi, don't go over there! Come back quickly. Damn it, that place is dangerous!" However, no matter how much Hu Bayi shouted,

Hu Ming, however, seemed completely deaf to it.

He continued walking forward, and soon he arrived in front of the Corpse-Scented Devil's Tongue.
