Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 855 Fire Heavenly Pearl? Giant Dragon?

Speaking of mysterious events in the West, Hu Ming knew a little about them, but he hadn't had much contact with them.

Previously, when he was tomb raiding in China, he was only exposed to things related to Chinese civilization. It was rare for him to have the opportunity to experience the mysterious power buried underground in the West. Therefore, Hu Ming's speed increased significantly.

At the same time, Hu Ming remained cautious to prevent Richard and his men from discovering his whereabouts.

In no time at all, Hu Ming arrived at the so-called Dark Altar.

When Hu Ming arrived at the Dark Altar, he saw that the half-human, half-ghost Grand Wizard was already standing on a high platform.

As for the other person who was transformed from a stone figure, he has already been placed aside.

Duke Richard knelt devoutly below the platform, looking almost like a believer.

Meanwhile, the members of the Posi Serpent Clan began to dance around the altar.

Hu Ming felt something was off about their strange dance moves from a distance.

However, Hu Ming couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong. But when he got closer, he discovered that the Posi Serpent Clan members were actually dancing with the undead.

The undead appeared almost transparent, and only when they got close could their outlines be roughly discerned.

Seeing the Posi Serpent Clan members dancing with the undead, Hu Ming frowned.

It was at this moment that the chieftain of the Sneaker Snake Clan suddenly began chanting a spell.

When he finished chanting the incantation, the sneaker snake people near the dark altar actually merged with the undead.

As more and more members of the Posi Serpent Clan merged with the undead, the half-human, half-ghost skeleton archmage standing on the high platform slowly raised his hands.

As he raised his hands, wisps of black mist began to appear around the altar, swirling in the air.

This was the first time Hu Ming had ever seen such a bizarre Western sacrificial ritual. Just as Hu Ming was staring in a daze, a huge pit suddenly appeared on the dark altar.

At the same time, the person formed from the stone slowly floated into the air. Seeing this, Hu Ming couldn't help but frown.

"Are these guys holding a ritual to resurrect that person?" Hu Ming wondered.

Just as Hu Ming was talking to himself, Duke Richard, who had been kneeling on the ground, suddenly floated up as well.

At this moment, the stone figure and Richard floated closer and closer. Soon, when they were at their closest distance, the two of them suddenly began to spin.

As they turned, the black mist instantly enveloped them, suspending them in mid-air.

Not far away, Richard and the humanoid form of the stone man were seen intertwined. Finally, the Skeleton Wizard took out a scepter and began to wave it above the huge pit.

On the other side, the chieftain of the Posi Serpent Clan also began chanting another incantation.

And so, with their combined efforts, magma slowly rose from the huge pit beneath the dark altar.

"Is it that powerful?"

Hu Ming had no idea that they would make such a big move.

Just as Hu Ming was filled with astonishment, the magma in the pit finally began to move.

As the magma churned, a wave of heat hit Hu Ming's face directly.

Seeing this, Hu Ming shook his head. Fortunately, the heat of the lava did not burn everything around him, and Hu Ming was spared from disaster.

But just as Hu Ming was feeling relieved, a ball of flame suddenly flew out of the lava.

When the ball of flame flew out of the lava, it clearly wanted to escape. But before it could fly far, the Skeleton Archmage had already stopped it with his staff.

"What is that thing? Could it be a dzi bead?"

Hu Ming saw from afar that the Skeleton Wizard had blocked the ball of flames, and it seemed as if there was a bead spinning inside. He couldn't help but feel nervous.

If that bead were a dzi bead, it would be the third dzi bead Hu Ming had ever seen besides the mother stone.

Just as Hu Ming was speculating, the chieftain of the Posi Snake Clan finally spoke.

"Great Wizard! Quickly use the Fire Heavenly Pearl to revive our master! Now is the perfect opportunity!"

As the chieftain of the Posi Serpent Clan spoke, he pointed to the stone man and Richard not far away.

When he pointed to the stone man and Richard, Hu Ming was shocked to find that the two had merged into one.

As for what exactly happened, Hu Ming didn't know, but he felt there was something strange about it.

On the other side, urged on by the chieftain of the Percy Serpent Clan, the skeletal archmage finally began to slowly pull the celestial bead back, sending it towards the fused body of the stone man and Richard.
During this process, the fire-encased dzi bead finally extinguished its flames, revealing its true form.

It turned out that the dzi bead was actually a round bead that was entirely red, and it looked just like a dragon bead.

Just as Hu Ming was gazing intently at the celestial bead, the roar of a dragon suddenly echoed once more from the surrounding darkness.

As the roar subsided, a colossal dragon from the west finally appeared above the altar.

When the giant dragon appeared, it charged directly toward the celestial bead.

Seeing this, even Hu Ming couldn't help but frown.

"There really are creatures like Western dragons?"

Hu Ming was shocked by the scene before him, and just as he stood there stunned, the skeleton wizard finally made his move.

In the blink of an eye, the Skeleton Archmage was engaged in battle with the dragon.

Clearly, the dragon was also after the celestial pearl in the lava, while the skeleton wizard obviously wanted to stop the dragon.

Soon after, energy fluctuations appeared on the altar, causing the surrounding buildings to be instantly destroyed.

"That's incredibly strong!"

Hu Ming had never seen such a scene before, but he quickly came to his senses.

"Hey! The fight between the snipe and the clam is the perfect opportunity for me to strike!"

After saying that, Hu Ming rushed straight toward the Heavenly Pearl. At this moment, the Skeleton Wizard had no time to pay attention to Hu Ming.

Not long after Hu Ming got close to the Heavenly Pearl, the chieftain of the Posi Snake Clan rushed over first.

"What do you think you're doing! You bastard from the East, you'd better not mess around! Otherwise, I definitely won't let you off the hook!"

The chieftain of the Posi Serpent Clan threatened Hu Ming, but just as he was threatening Hu Ming, Hu Ming saw a long, transparent object trailing behind him.

Clearly, the chieftain of the Posi Serpent Clan was currently in contact with Weiwei's undead, so he was merely bluffing.

Having seen through the tricks of the Posi Snake Clan chief, Hu Ming couldn't help but snort coldly, while his longsword was already prepared.

"I'm determined to have this dzi bead! Even God couldn't change my mind!"

After Hu Ming finished speaking, he bypassed the chieftain of the Posi Snake Clan and grabbed at the Heavenly Pearl!
