Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 854 The Altar!

The next second, just when Duke Richard thought the other party had accepted his sacrifice, the half-human, half-ghost creature actually stretched out a hand.

The moment the half-human, half-ghost figure reached out his hand, Duke Richard floated up and flew toward the half-human, half-ghost figure at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing this, Hu Ming was very curious about what the half-human, half-ghost creature would do.

However, just when Hu Ming thought Duke Richard was on the verge of death, the half-human, half-ghost creature suddenly stopped what it was doing.

The reason that thing stopped was because Duke Richard whispered a few words in her ear.

As for what was being said, Hu Ming couldn't hear it clearly because of the distance.

However, one thing is certain: Duke Richard must have reached some kind of agreement with that half-human, half-ghost thing, otherwise, that thing would not have spared Richard's life.

They also returned Richard's previously lost arm to him.

At this moment, the half-human, half-ghost creature slowly put Duke Richard down.

When Duke Richard was put down, the stone man beside the half-human, half-ghost figure slowly transformed into a human form after absorbing the flesh and blood of Richard's men.

Unlike the half-human, half-ghost creature, even after the stone man transformed into a human form, it still showed no other reaction.

His eyes were tightly closed, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Mr. Hu Ming! What do we do now?"

At this moment, Hu Ming and Juliet had already hidden behind a low wall. Seeing this, Juliet couldn't help but feel nervous.

Just as Juliet was asking Hu Ming what to do, another group of people suddenly stormed into the frozen city of gods.

This group of people was none other than the previous Posi Serpent Clan.

Led by the chieftain of the Posi Serpent Clan, the group quickly rushed to Duke Richard's side.

However, when the chieftain of the Posi Serpent Clan saw the half-human, half-ghost creature, he immediately bent down.

At the same time, he began to mutter some incomprehensible language.

Listening to the series of words spoken by the leader of the Posi Serpent Clan, the half-human, half-ghost creature suddenly became excited.

Soon, the half-human, half-ghost creature walked directly backward, and Duke Richard followed closely behind.

As for the Posi Serpent Clan, they swarmed forward, lifted up the person that the stone man had transformed into, and then followed the half-human, half-ghost creature toward the city center.

And so, as if they had forgotten about Hu Ming and Juliet, they slowly disappeared into the street.

Seeing this, Hu Ming felt increasingly uneasy.

Just as Hu Ming was puzzled and didn't know what to do, a figure suddenly appeared from behind.

Just as Hu Ming was about to make a move when he suddenly saw someone appear, he was stopped by the young man's voice.

Upon seeing that the person who came was indeed the young man, Hu Ming finally relaxed.

"Hey buddy! What happened to you? Are you injured?"

Hu Ming glanced at the young man briefly, but when he saw that the young man's face was pale, he couldn't help but ask him something.

"He's mostly alright! But let's get out of here as soon as possible! It's too dangerous here!"

After speaking, the young man looked at Hu Ming, seemingly hoping that Hu Ming would listen to his advice and leave.

However, Hu Ming did not take the deliveryman's suggestion seriously.

In Hu Ming's view, having finally come this far, he must find the dzi bead.

Otherwise, it would have been a wasted trip. Besides, Hu Ming was very curious about everything that had happened before. In particular, he wanted to find out where Richard and the others had gone with that half-human, half-ghost guy known as the Great Wizard.

For some reason, Hu Ming always felt that it must be related to dzi beads.

So when the young man finished speaking, Hu Ming shook his head.

"We can't leave yet! We need to find the Heavenly Bead!"

After Hu Ming finished speaking, he looked in the direction Richard and the others had left.

However, when Hu Ming looked in the direction where Richard and the others had disappeared, the young man shook his head.

"They must have gone to that altar! That's where I came from! But..."

The young man frowned slightly as he said this.

Judging from the young man's expression, something must have happened there, otherwise he wouldn't have looked like that.

"But what! What did you see at that altar?"

Hu Ming then inquired about the altar.

When Hu Ming asked, the young man thought for a moment and finally spoke slowly.

"That's a dark altar! It's surrounded by bones! And it's guarded by many undead! Anyone who gets close will surely die!"

The young man was still somewhat shaken when he recounted this.

"A dark altar? Like the ones in Western movies? Is it real?"

After hearing the young man's description, Hu Ming couldn't help but become interested in the altar.

"Yeah, that place is really weird, it seems to be connected to another world! But it's probably sealed off by something right now! I think they're probably going to break the seal."

The young man's worry deepened as he spoke.

Seeing this, Hu Ming nodded. In Hu Ming's opinion, the young man was not one to joke around. Since even he had said it was dangerous, it must be an extremely terrifying place.

Even though the place was terrifying, Hu Ming did not give up his plan to go there.

After all, that place should have some connection with dzi beads, and Hu Ming would naturally not give up on dzi beads.

"Alright then! Since it's dangerous over there, you shouldn't go! Young man, you take Juliet and go rescue the blind man and the others first! I'll stay here and see what they're up to!"

"If they really do something terrible, someone has to stop them!"

When Hu Ming got to this point, he decisively patted the young man on the shoulder.

After hearing Hu Ming's words, the young man understood Hu Ming's decision.

After some struggle, the young man nodded.

"Alright! In that case, be extra careful! I'm going to rescue the blind man! I'll leave this to you!"

The young man knew Hu Ming very well, so he never doubted Hu Ming's abilities.

Since Hu Ming had made his decision, he naturally wouldn't say anything more.

Juliet, however, suddenly decided to stay and be with Hu Ming.

But Hu Ming refused no matter what she said, so Juliet had no choice but to give up.

After discussing it with Xiao Ge and Juliet, Hu Ming walked alone towards the Dark Altar.

Although he didn't know what dangers awaited him, Hu Ming was still excited at the thought of being able to come into contact with the mysterious power of the West!
