Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 788 Plants Have Become Spirits?
His figure darted out like lightning, and amidst the "Damn it" expressions on everyone's faces, Hu Ming even left a faint afterimage in the air!
The speed almost exceeds the limits of human retinal perception; one can only imagine how terrifying this speed truly is.
"Cease fire! Cease fire!"

The mercenaries finally reacted. Song and Qi Ba immediately lowered their gun barrels and growled.

Seeing the sword held upside down in Hu Ming's hand, the mercenaries all looked at him with a "Are you kidding me?" expression.

Faced with such a terrifying monster, you actually want to fight it in close combat with a knife?
Is this person simple-minded or just plain stupid?
Only the blind man had an "I knew it" expression on his face. Against such a massive creature with immense vitality, small bullets could only play a very limited role.

The bullet could barely shatter the hard scales, but with the resistance of the muscles and bones, the bullet's momentum was exhausted, making it difficult to inflict fatal damage on the giant python.

Ignoring the astonishment behind him, Hu Ming approached the giant python, which possessed an agility completely disproportionate to its size.

The enormous snake suddenly twisted its body, and the python, without slowing its advance, bypassed Hu Ming and swiftly swam past the stone wall beside him.

The python's goal was simple: to find the narrow burrow just a few meters ahead, a passage it could only pass through.

The giant python clearly sensed extreme danger from the tiny human blocking its path. Otherwise, swallowing such a small human whole would have been no problem at all.

"Want to run?"

Hu Ming pushed up his sunglasses, raised an eyebrow, and a flash of golden light appeared in his pupils before returning to normal in an instant.

In that instant, the giant python's forward-moving body suddenly froze in place!
That... the aura of all the scaled creatures! A tremendous panic filled the chaotic mind. The giant python sensed the aura of the snake god from that tiny human. Its massive body froze on the spot, at a loss.

In that instant, Hu Ming's left hand, with its five fingers like hooks and a scalpel, precisely and sharply gripped the scales of the snake's tail that had been shattered by the bullet, penetrating deep into the flesh.

However, due to the sudden aura emanating from the body, the giant python's mind was already plunged into a chaotic sea of ​​fear and panic, and it ignored the pain in its tail.

Offending God will result in death.
"drink!"

Hu Ming let out a low roar, his left arm muscles bulged, and he began to exert force. He assumed a perfect horse stance, and the force rose from the ground, passing through layers and twisting into a steel bar that was transmitted to his left hand.

The enormous creature, which was over ten meters long, was actually yanked up by Hu Mingsheng and slammed against the stone wall above his head with such force that it made a dull thud.

Paji.

Under the influence of gravity, the giant python, having given up struggling, fell to the ground, leaving everyone stunned.

This person...

How could a handsome young man, with a delicate, almost girlish beauty and a touch of androgynous charm, be so violent when he gets into a fight?
How could such terrifying power be contained within his seemingly frail body?
Is this in the Joan of Arc River?
Gifted with extraordinary talent, like Li Yuanba of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, possessing superhuman strength?
Gu Ziqing stared blankly at Hu Ming's relaxed and carefree back, completely dumbfounded, her heart filled with shock.

This scene before her eyes undoubtedly shattered the values ​​she had painstakingly built up over the past twenty years.

"So, this is what you mean by 'when facing such a behemoth,' Hu Ming is absolutely safe?"

Gu Ziqing murmured softly.

"No, personal strength is only one aspect. To be honest, I also feel that this guy seems to be getting stronger and stronger than a human. When encountering ghosts, everyone's physique is about the same, at most I am a tiny bit weaker than them."

"But even compared to a mute, in the dark, the mute might not be my match. But Hu Ming, that monster..."

The blind man vented his frustrations in a way that only he could understand.

The blind man had clearly seen that for a fleeting moment, the giant python's body tensed, undoubtedly reacting as if it had encountered a natural enemy, before instantly surrendering. This bizarre change happened too quickly, and everyone else was stunned by Hu Ming's terrifying power; he was probably the only one present who noticed it.

That was the power of Hu Ming's bloodline.

Just then, Hu Ming's situation changed again.

With his right hand, Hu Ming gracefully wielded his precious sword, displaying its brilliance as he slowly walked to the front of the snake's head, raising the sword high.

Suddenly, Hu Ming's pupils contracted, he sheathed his sword, and retreated swiftly!
In the next instant, thick "tentacles" that looked like several vines twisted together silently crawled out of the hole in the ground where the giant python was preparing to retreat.

Hu Ming clearly did not see any sensory organs on the tentacles that resembled those for obtaining information from the outside world, but the thing accurately captured Hu Ming's movement trajectory and relentlessly extended towards him.

With a slight frown, Hu Ming took off his sunglasses and tossed them aside.

This thing is useless now; in this dark environment, it will only obstruct your vision.

The instant this thing appeared, Hu Ming clearly sensed a faint snake aura from the tentacle, but his Golden Eyes failed him for the first time!
No, to be precise, it's not that the Golden Eyes have malfunctioned, but rather that this thing is extremely strange.

From its appearance, this thing was clearly the tentacles of the Nine-Headed Cypress, but Hu Ming could really sense the presence of a living creature on it.

With a twist of his waist, Hu Ming suddenly leaped into the air, his right hand piercing the dome above his head. The hard bluestone was no match for the sharpness of the reforged sword. Using the momentum, Hu Ming twisted and flipped in mid-air, dodging the tentacles that attacked from the ground and from mid-air.

This thing even knows how to use encirclement tactics, scattering its intertwined tentacles to hunt!
While in mid-air, Hu Ming suddenly produced a handful of white powder in his hand, which he then flung out.

That's Tianxin stone powder, the natural enemy of the nine-headed cypress.

However.
"Oh dear, this is a huge problem."

Hu Ming stared expressionlessly at the tentacles that tore through the white curtain and relentlessly surrounded him.

Although he had expected it beforehand, Hu Ming still couldn't help but complain when he saw that the nine-headed cypress was immune to the heart stone powder again.

What is this? A genetic mutation?
and also…

The precious sword tore through the air, emitting a series of sharp whistles, and its indestructible blade sliced ​​off the attacking tentacles.

puff~
From the broken opening, blood gushed out like a fountain, just as if a living creature had been injured!
Hu Ming twisted his waist again to avoid the blood splattering on his face. He took a sniff and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood. This stuff wasn't just the color; it was clearly blood!
So, you see...

Hu Ming looked at the blind man not far away with a rare look of bewilderment.

"The plants have become sentient?"

The blind man murmured to himself, as if he had also thought of this.

"Could it be that those ancient stories of cultivating oneself to become an immortal or a demon are actually true?"

Even though the two were very knowledgeable, this was the first time they had ever seen anything like it.

In particular, at the broken tendril, Hu Ming could clearly see that inside the rough, vine-like shell, soft tissue was wriggling, and with the added blood color, it looked exactly like a body of flesh and blood!
