Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 739 Digging a hole and burying yourself!
The caves along the underground river generally extend in a northeast direction.

The group had been traveling underground in the darkness for six days.

The passage sloped gently downwards throughout, and at this point, no one could be certain how many meters underground they had descended.

Despite having prepared a hand-cranked generator in advance, the cell phone couldn't receive any signal at this depth underground.

Even GPS devices can declare a strike.

puff~
The blind man's dagger traced a graceful curve, piercing through a gigantic, unidentified fish with a mouthful of sharp teeth that leaped out of the underground river.

"Today's lunch is enough for all of us to have a good meal."

"Fortunately, the water here is rich in resources. The legend of the King of the South Sea is indeed true. Deep within the territory of the King of the South Sea lies a complex network of underground rivers, and they make a living by fishing from these underground rivers."

"So...can we throw away those unpalatable compressed foods?"

The blind man, slightly weary, slammed the unidentified, ferocious fish, as tall as a person, onto the ground.

This place, rarely visited by humans, has been untouched for countless years, and its underground river teems with all sorts of ferocious beasts.

In just six days, Hu Ming and his group had already encountered such attacks many times.

That's not the worst part. What's worse is that in this enclosed environment, some areas have inexplicably bred swarms of poisonous insects.

These venomous insects usually lurk in the crevices of rocks like inanimate objects, waiting to attack any living creature that passes by without warning.

In other words, Hu Ming and Xiao Ge possessed precious blood, and everyone else who came here had some injuries.

Even a blind man couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.

"...You guys eat. I swear I felt like throwing up whenever I saw Yasuo cookies and fish during these six days. I don't want to see those two things again for a long time to come."

Hu Ming silently took a few steps back, and then reached into his personal storage space to take out some fresh vegetables and fruits.
Hu Mingzhen felt that being a vegetarian rabbit was better than eating fish.

"."

The blind man and Wu Erbai, along with everyone else, stared with bloodshot eyes at the vegetables and fruits that had appeared out of nowhere in Hu Ming's hand.

They were too lazy to even try to understand the principles behind Hu Ming's move; all they knew was that they wanted to eat these things too!
"dream!"

A black sword adorned with bronze patterns appeared out of thin air in front of him, its sharp blade easily piercing half of the blade into the soil and rock.

"Damn Hu Ming, what happened to the promise of sharing hardships together as brothers?"

The blind man watched as Hu Ming took a crisp bite of the vibrant green cucumber, and he was so tempted that he wanted to snatch it away.

"Oh, so, do you want to end our friendship now, bro?"

Hu Ming responded expressionlessly, then took out another portion and handed it to the deliveryman.

…Jokes should be kept within limits, although Hu Ming was not afraid of an impromptu fight with these people.

After spending a mere few points, each person had a large amount of fresh vegetables and fruits laid out in front of them.

Having lived like savages underground for a week, they're now really craving this.

With plenty of food and fruit, everyone felt like they had been reborn.

"Let's take a brief moment to reminisce and calculate the time. At our pace, we've already traveled at least 500 kilometers in a north-northeast direction."

“In other words, we have returned to the country’s territory from underground,” Wu Erbai said softly, taking out a compass from his pocket.

GPS becomes useless when obscured by a certain thickness of rock, but the compass continues to work diligently.

"According to the records of the King of the South Sea, the territory he ruled was a complex network of underground rivers. Analysis of various intelligence sources shows that it was indeed within the territory of the Celestial Empire."

"Therefore, it is not surprising that Thunder City is located underground in Heaven City."

Hu Ming nodded in agreement.

"However, instead of thinking about things that are at least 700 kilometers away, why don't we talk about our current perilous situation?"

After saying that, Hu Ming stretched and looked intently into the distance of the passage.

Night vision allows Hu Ming to ignore the darkness and clearly identify dangers within it.

"How so!?"

As soon as Hu Ming said this, everyone stood up as if their hair had been pricked, nervously looking in the direction Hu Ming was looking.

However, there was no light source underground, and the tactical flashlights in everyone's hands were not enough to illuminate very far.

"We heard something approaching us while we were eating. It was very dangerous. If it caught up with us, we would probably all be turned into a pile of bones in an instant, right?"
Hu Ming spoke of the most terrifying danger in the most nonchalant tone.

"...Damn it."

The blind man's lips twitched. Despite his usual frivolous behavior and constant pronouncements that life and death were trivial matters, he remained silent.

However, the blind man always took great responsibility for his own life. Whenever he encountered danger, he always made thorough preparations before taking action.

"Don't panic. Even now, it's still about three kilometers away from us. Judging by its speed, we have at least twenty minutes left."

Hu Ming shrugged.

Three kilometers?

Liu Sang chuckled inwardly, but dared not show it due to Hu Ming's intimidating presence.

Top performers in any industry are always arrogant in their area of ​​expertise.

Liu Sang was undoubtedly extremely arrogant about his hearing.

Two kilometers was the limit of Liu Sang's hearing. Liu Sang even understood the difficulty of improving this skill. He didn't believe that Hu Ming's hearing range could be extended to an exaggerated ten kilometers.

Even though Hu Ming had already been hailed as a god in the martial arts world.

Hu Ming was the first to arrive at the riverbank, stepped into the water, and began digging holes in the silt on the bank to play with mud.

"It's complicated to explain, you'll see for yourselves in a bit. Anyway, if you don't want to die in this godforsaken place, follow me, dig a hole, and bury yourselves!"

"It doesn't matter if it's a single room or a shared apartment. I also have no objection to people with special hobbies who want to take the opportunity to fencing, as long as their bodies are covered in mud and not exposed to the air."

When Hu Ming said this, his gaze subtly turned towards the blind man.

The blind man really wanted to say that he and Xiaohua were just good friends.

There are indeed similar rumors circulating in the online community about the pairing of "Blind Man and Flower Man".

In short, at that moment, the men Wu Erbai brought seemed to forget their tension. Their gazes toward the blind man became somewhat subtle, and they subconsciously moved away from him, afraid that the blind man had been holding back all week and might want to find someone to vent his anger on!
