Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 704 The Scoundrel Third Uncle!

So, what exactly are we listening for when we hear thunder?
Wu Xie looked up and sighed in frustration, only to see a large, dark bell.

As everyone knows, Uncle Three is a bottomless pit.

For Wu Xie, knowing that he would definitely die in a few years, he was suddenly told by his third uncle - you will definitely not die. I know a place where you can definitely be saved.

But this damn third uncle only gave us a clue! Seriously? Are we even related? Couldn't he just tell us everything at once?
This is a matter of life and death, a matter of utmost importance.

No one can remain indifferent in the face of hope for life.

This is a matter of life and death, a matter of utmost importance.

No one can remain indifferent in the face of hope for life.

Wu Xie was like this, but the investigation had led to this point, and everything seemed to point to the mysterious thunder.

Although Wu Xie wasn't a staunch materialist, he simply couldn't understand how a mere thunderbolt could possibly contain any hope for his survival.
If listening to thunder could truly soothe all lingering sorrows...
Then there would be absolutely no tragedies in the world.

"Oh, how sad."

Wu Xie lit a cigarette, feeling annoyed.

"Stop smoking. You coughed up blood the other day. The doctor said that if you want to die within a year, you should never go into lockdown."

The fat man swiftly snatched the cigarette from Wu Xie's mouth and put it in his own.

Hu Ming thought for a moment, then simply lit a cigarette as well.

When it comes to tobacco, you don't feel like smoking when you don't think about it, but once someone around you starts smoking, it's hard to resist.

"Hey, give me one too. What's with that look? As a man, why can't I smoke? I just don't like it usually."

After thinking about it, the blind man simply asked Hu Ming for a stick and lit it.

The young man calmly looked at the blind man.

"I wasn't talking about you, buddy. You're not human, you're an eternal god?"

Realizing his slip of the tongue, the blind man quickly raised his hands to prove his innocence.

"Uzbekistan would want to punch someone if he heard that."

Hu Ming complained.

"No, if we were to actually play LoL, wouldn't the three of us be gods with reaction time and micro-management skills at their absolute limit? Uzi is nothing, we'd crush him!"

The blind man boasted shamelessly.

In fact, that's the truth.

Of the three of them, two stand at the pinnacle of humanity, while Jiang Nan has even transcended the limitations of human qualities.

Q: How can I completely crush the opponent in LoL?

A: As long as you dodge all the non-targeting skills and make sure all your skills hit, you'll be fine.

It's very simple. Hu Ming and his two teammates can completely crush the opposing team. Even Faker would have to step aside and shout, "Daddy, slow down!"

only…

"You probably don't know about having a big picture perspective and using your intelligence to play games, do you?"

Hu Ming shook his head. "It's a completely different world. Entertainment is fine, but becoming a professional gamer isn't so easy."

"Who cares? Anyway, how about the three of us go play some games together? We'd be an invincible team!"

The blind man suddenly became interested.

"What about the two of us? This isn't fair! How can three people be considered a convoy? It needs five!"

The fat man couldn't stand being alone.

"Get lost, you two are just old people with a terrible reaction, you're a disaster."

The blind man rolled his eyes dismissively.

"...That's true." Fatty and Wu Xie are getting old, after all, and their reactions can be a bit off sometimes...

It's hard to say.

"I don't know why you guys suddenly veered off-topic into the game, but shouldn't we be checking if there are any clues left inside the coffin?"

Wu Xie rubbed his temples, his head aching. Not only would they not give him a cigarette, but they also wanted him to engage in some kind of underhanded game involving tomb raiding?
Isn't this just blatant fluff/padding?
There was nothing in the coffin except a pile of rags.

"Just how poor was this King of the South Sea? He was, after all, the king of a small place in life. Did he not even have any burial goods?"

The fat man glanced at it and shook his head regretfully.

"You should know that this coffin was moved from someone's grave. We don't even know how many times it's been handled."

"You still want burial goods? Do you really think the people who handled these things before were all fools?"

"Besides, this set of chime bells... Oh, right, this thing can't be sold, it's too valuable, I can only keep it at home to admire."

Hu Ming gently tapped the chime bells, listening to the melodious sound, somewhat intoxicated... He didn't understand music theory, but at least he knew what sounded good.

There's more down there...

The young man silently lifted the hidden compartment at the bottom of the coffin, revealing the vertical shaft below.

With the skill of probing acupoints with two fingers, this simple arrangement could not be concealed at all.

"See that? Someone dug a hole in the coffin lid. You still expect there to be burial goods inside?"

Hu Ming said softly.

Below was a vertical well, not deep, only about five meters deep, with a layer of murky water at the bottom, and a faint stench emanating from it.

This is stagnant water.

"There's something down there, I mean something alive."

The blind man rubbed his hands together, eager to try.

The only downside is that Hu Ming, the blind man, and Xiao Ge, three people with exceptional fighting skills, are all together.

There's only one monster, but three warriors; it's simply not enough to go around.

"Guess the Dinosaur?"

The blind man pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Suit yourself, go if you want, and see if there's anything else in the water while you're at it."

"The fact that this place is built so secretly is definitely not to hide these metal springs. The underwater creatures are definitely protecting something."

Hu Ming said indifferently.

The young man nodded in agreement; he had also thought of that.

"Ugh... it smells awful down there."

The blind man had originally planned to find a way to hoist the thing up from below and then kill it, but going into the water...
Everyone has some degree of psychological fastidiousness, right?
Faced with stagnant, foul-smelling water that's practically a city sewer, who the hell would want to go down there?

Hu Ming and the deliveryman exchanged a glance, silently took two steps back, and gestured for him to proceed.

"Damn it!"

"Hu Ming, get me a gas mask. I'm afraid I'll get knocked out by the fumes. It has to be the kind with black goggles."

Left with no other option, the blind man could only seek a final benefit for himself.

"kindness."

Hu Ming casually pulled out a pair of blind men's shoes and tossed them to his minister.

With a thud, the blind man resigned himself to his fate and jumped down.

It seemed that the splashing sound disturbed the creatures living in the sewage, and the water surface began to ripple.

The blind man smirked, pulled out a short knife from his waistband, and casually twirled it around.
