Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 860 The Skull Guard!

Clearly, the people who had been following Hu Ming's car had no idea that Hu Ming had already discovered them.

And as soon as they stopped, Hu Ming was already at their car window.

When Hu Ming appeared in front of the car window, he decisively punched the window.

Bang!
With a sharp crack, the car window shattered into pieces.

Before the people in the car could even react, Hu Ming had already grabbed one of them by the collar and dragged him out of the car.

"Who are you people? Why are you following me?!"

At first, Hu Ming thought these guys were sent by the tavern owner.

However, after observing them for a period of time, Hu Ming could conclude that they were not locals.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have failed to realize that they were following Hu Ming in circles.

But if the other party isn't one of the tavern owner's people, then the situation becomes complicated.

Therefore, Hu Ming must figure out who is watching him in order to respond accordingly.

While Hu Ming was asking about the other person's identity, the other passengers in the car promptly got off.

Judging from this posture, it seems they are preparing to attack Hu Ming.

Without hesitation, Hu Ming slammed the person he was holding against the car.

After dealing with the closest guy, Hu Ming decisively delivered a whip kick, directly striking the other person.

However, just as Hu Ming's leg struck the man, a strange feeling suddenly lingered in Hu Ming's mind.

"Huh? What's wrong with this person? He seems to have no flesh at all! He's all bones!"

Hu Ming couldn't help but become curious, because with just one foot contact, he discovered that the guy was practically skin and bones under his clothes.

Just as Hu Ming was looking on with curiosity, he saw those people also gather around.

At this moment, Hu Ming didn't have time to think and immediately started fighting with the other party.

However, during the process, Hu Ming also discovered some incredible things.

Especially during the fight, when the opponent's clothes were lifted up, Hu Ming seemed to see skeletons directly battling against each other.

Something's not right! Are these guys dead?

After seeing the bodies of those people, I became somewhat puzzled.

It was at this moment that Hu Ming tore off one of the sleeves of one of the men.

When the sleeve came off, he was surprised to find that he hadn't been mistaken.

It turned out that those people, apart from having human faces, were all bones with no flesh or blood.

Their clothes were clearly meant to cover their skeletal, skeleton-like bodies.

Upon seeing that the other side consisted of several skeletons, Hu Ming frowned.

"These skeletons look strangely familiar!"

Hu Ming remained vigilant while pondering the situation.

Soon, a familiar figure appeared in Hu Ming's mind: the Skeleton Wizard.

The thought of the Skeleton Wizard made Hu Ming gasp.

"Could these guys have been sent by the Skeleton Wizard?"

Hu Ming guessed.

As Hu Ming was trying to figure out the identities of the skeletons in front of him, the skeletons wearing clothes suddenly began to retreat.

Seeing this, Hu Ming naturally wouldn't let them escape, so he hurriedly gave chase.

Before Hu Ming and the others could reach them, they had already run to a secluded corner and then sank directly into the mud. Seeing this, Hu Ming was speechless with astonishment.

But just as Hu Ming was surprised, a voice finally entered his ears.

"Hmph! Hu Ming! Just you wait! I'll come back to take your life and reclaim the Heavenly Pearl!"

"We have plenty of time! You won't escape my grasp!"

The voice disappeared without a trace after it finished speaking, leaving Hu Ming standing there dumbfounded.

Hu Ming was naturally familiar with that voice, for it was the voice of the Skeleton Wizard.

I just don't know why he didn't show up.

"It seems that guy can't leave that frozen city yet; these must be his men!"

"No! We need to act quickly! Otherwise, things will get complicated once that guy comes out!"

After careful consideration, Hu Ming decided to go find the golden manuscript as soon as possible.

It now seems that only by finding the golden manuscript can we know the whereabouts of the next dzi bead.

In Hu Ming's view, only by obtaining the dzi bead first can the various mysteries surrounding it be resolved.

Once the secret of the Heavenly Beads is figured out, perhaps we'll know how to deal with that skeleton wizard.
Although Hu Ming is no longer afraid of the skeleton wizard, he always has a vague feeling that this matter is not so simple.

Thinking of all this, Hu Ming decisively turned around and went back to his car.

Soon after the car returned to the hotel, Hu Ming and Bablu worked together to bring the crazed sailor into the hotel.

In the hotel room, the mad sailor slept for a whole day and night.

When he woke up, his tattered clothes had been replaced with clean and tidy shirts.

Meanwhile, a table full of food had already been set out in front of him.

Hu Ming was sitting opposite him, enjoying the food in front of him.

"You're finally awake? This was all prepared for you! Eat!"

As Hu Ming spoke, he looked at the crazed sailor, and when Hu Ming looked at the sailor, the sailor suddenly showed a blank look.

"No need to play dumb in front of me! Eat your fill first! Then we can talk, shall we?"

Hu Ming spoke again, and as he spoke, the crazed sailor clearly became alert.

It turned out that when Hu Ming was looking for someone to clean the mad sailor's body, he had already found a parchment notebook on him.

As for the contents of the notebook, it turned out to be the sailor's diary.

It records many things he experienced, and judging from the content, he was not actually crazy at all, he was just pretending to be crazy.

Seeing the sailor looking at him warily, Hu Ming decisively took out his notebook and then waved it around.

"Your diary has betrayed you! So stop pretending now! We'll have a serious talk later!"

Hu Ming continued.

However, the sailor couldn't help but snort coldly upon hearing Hu Ming's words.

"I have nothing to talk to you about! Goodbye!"

As the sailor spoke, he stood up, preparing to leave.

However, as he passed by the table, he didn't forget to grab a roast chicken.

Seeing this, Hu Ming couldn't help but laugh.

"In our country, there's a saying: 'He who takes a man's gift is bound to him; he who eats another man's food is bound to him.' Since you've accepted my food and are wearing the new clothes I got for you, it wouldn't be right for you to just leave like this!"

As Hu Ming spoke, he directly blocked the sailor's path and stopped him.
