Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 518 The Blood Corpse Opens Its Eyes!
But the problem is...
"Two people, two people!"

"You two are both immortals, possessing great supernatural powers, each with your own unique skills. What about me?"

"Can you bear to see your beloved Mr. Wu Xie waiting for you all alone here?"

Even so, Wu Xie had already plopped down on the scattered cement blocks on the ground.

Wu Xie knew exactly what was going on, given his own situation.
Unfortunately, without external help, it's practically impossible to get through here safely.

To be honest, Wu Xie does have some hidden treasures that are enough to allow him to pass through here safely.

But
After all, the two were just scouting ahead; who knows what dangers lay ahead? The fact that so many people had died here speaks volumes.

If he stays close to Hu Ming, he will undoubtedly become a burden to Hu Ming in case of any unexpected situation.

"Uncle Ming, Xiao Hua, be careful!"

"Too many people have died here, some from the Nine Gates, and some from 'him.' Undoubtedly, everyone who made it this far was extraordinary."

"In short, safety is the most important thing!"

Finally, Wu Xie said solemnly.

At the same time, he pulled out a pistol from his pocket, opened the treasure chest, and loaded it, just in case.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Hu Ming chuckled and turned to walk deeper into the cave.

Above, Xiao Hua smiled slightly and began his performance.

Like a magic wand, the stick moved with incredible speed and agility, flipping and leaping across the cave walls with fluid, graceful movements.

Both of them moved extremely fast, and soon their figures disappeared from Wu Xie's sight.

This cave is much deeper than I imagined.

Hu Ming and Xiao Hua had been walking in the cave for a full four or five minutes.

Judging from the information gleaned from the rumors, Hu Ming was certain that they had only covered less than half the distance!
It should be noted that even though Hu Ming had slowed down to take care of Xiao Hua, the two of them were still several minutes faster than a normal person jogging.

In that short time, they've covered at least 300 meters!
"Be careful, there's something ahead... In short, it seems to be something rather sinister!"

Suddenly, Hu Ming's ears twitched slightly as he heard some unpleasant sounds. With a flick of his wrist, the precious sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"Something weird!?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaohua was startled and slowed down her movements, becoming extremely vigilant.

Although I haven't personally witnessed Hu Ming in action, based on various rumors, information obtained from Hei Xiazi, and occasional conversations with his father, I can certainly glean information from him.

Hu Ming is very strong!
Terrifyingly strong!
Even so, one can imagine how terrifying something must be to warrant such vigilance from Hu Ming.
In the pitch-black cave ahead, beneath the walls covered in black hair, streaks of blood-red marks suddenly appeared.

"Huh, it's blood, human blood, and...it's fresh!"

"This taste, this color, and this state—it's clearly blood that just gushed from a human body!" Hu Ming stepped forward, using the special aura of his bloodline tattoo to dispel the black hair, and pierced through the rock layer with two fingers.

He brought the bloodstains on his clothes to his nose and sniffed them. Soon, a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared on Hu Ming's face.

Looking at the bright red blood slowly flowing out of the gap, Hu Ming was somewhat bewildered for a moment.

"This godforsaken place...besides us, have other people come here too?"

"Little Flower, did Fairy Huo tell you that there are other entrances here?"

Hu Ming frowned slightly, feeling that the blood felt strange. Although judging from its condition, it was undoubtedly freshly spilled, a faint suspicion lingered in his mind, a feeling that things weren't so simple.

"Other entrances? Impossible!"

"If that were truly the case, the Nine Gates members, and 'his' people, wouldn't have been fighting to the death here back then!"

Xiao Hua shook her head and said in a deep voice.

"That's strange. Could this strange phenomenon be related to that eerie thing ahead?"

Hu Ming looked at the blood on his hands and murmured to himself.

The sounds became increasingly clear to my ears.

Hu Ming deduced that the blood seemed to be converging towards a certain place ahead, where something strange was going on!
The two exchanged a glance, slowed down, and continued forward cautiously.

In any case, now that we've come this far, there's absolutely no reason to give up halfway.

Before long, the cave ahead suddenly turned a sharp ninety-degree bend, and the surrounding blood-red marks became increasingly dense.

"Damn it, Wu Xie, that little bastard, could he really have been a crow spirit in his past life?"

Turning around, Hu Ming looked at the astonishing scene before him and subconsciously sighed, rubbing his forehead.

Sometimes, the Evil Emperor's unorthodox skills really make people wonder if gods or immortals truly exist in this world.

In the middle of the cave ahead, countless dense, blood-red marks converged, forming a small pool of blood on the ground.

In the pool of blood, countless hairs grew wildly. Strangely, these black hairs, perhaps due to years of being stained by blood, were a bright red, sending chills down the spine of anyone who saw them.

Most importantly, in the pool of blood, there was clearly the corpse of a middle-aged man, his entire body covered in blood.

The blood here seems strange, having undergone some bizarre change. The middle-aged man's skin has long been corroded away, exposing his hideous, blood-red flesh to the air.

Countless crimson hairs coiled and intertwined around it, seemingly achieving some strange symbiotic state.
"This Blood Corpse is different from a real Blood Corpse, but it's damn much more sinister than a Blood Corpse, okay?"

"A blood corpse is nothing more than a special kind of life form, but this thing... this is definitely a corpse that has become a spirit, isn't it?"

Xiao Hua squatted on the wooden stick, staring at the grotesque thing in front of her. Her lips twitched violently, and her face immediately turned green.

For the first time in her life, Xiao Hua witnessed the malice emanating from the Evil Emperor.

Just then, the blood corpse lying quietly in the blood pool suddenly opened its eyes, its gaze turning sinister as it looked at the two who dared to disturb its slumber.
