Chapter 10: The Tomb Raider Crushes Seven Inches with Two Fingers
The canyon was deathly silent.
Lin Mu's hawk-like eyes were fixed on an inconspicuous crevice in the rock wall twenty meters ahead.
There, it was pitch black, as if connected to the endless void.
"Don't move, keep quiet."
Lin Mu's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an irresistible air of authority.
The group, which had been whispering amongst themselves, fell silent instantly.
Everyone held their breath, watching Lin Mu nervously, and then following his gaze to the dark crevice in the rock.
Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at this moment.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Just when everyone's nerves were about to snap.
A sudden change has occurred!
"call out--!!!"
A black afterimage shot out from the dark crevice like an arrow released from a bow!
Its speed was so great that it left an almost straight black line in the dim light!
Its target was not Lin Mu, who was walking at the front, nor the fully armed security guards, but Ye Zhi Qiu, who was trembling with fear and almost completely unprepared in the middle of the group!
A feint to the east while attacking in the west!
This is an extremely cunning hunter!
"Be careful!"
Su Nianwei was closest to Ye Zhi Qiu, and she let out a gasp, instinctively wanting to push Ye Zhi Qiu away.
Security captain Wang Meng immediately turned his gun around, but the dark figure was too fast; he didn't even have time to aim!
In the blink of an eye, the dark figure had already swept past most of the group, and was less than half a meter away from Ye Zhi Qiu's snow-white neck!
The live stream footage seemed to slow down at that moment.
Nearly ten million viewers could clearly see that it was a strange snake with a completely black body and a bizarre fleshy growth on its head!
In its gaping maw, two sharp fangs gleamed with a chilling light in the afterglow of the flashlight!
Finished!
That was the only thought that flashed through everyone's mind.
Ye Zhi Qiu was so frightened that her mind went blank, and the approaching black shadow of death was reflected in her pupils. She couldn't even scream.
However, just a moment before the venomous fang was about to pierce her skin...
A cold, faint scent of soapberry suddenly enveloped her.
A figure, faster and more decisive than the monstrous snake, moved.
Lin Mu!
He didn't even turn around.
His body reacted the instant the serpent shot out from the crevice in the rock.
With a sudden burst of power, he moved three meters to the side and back like a ghost, without making a sound, and precisely blocked Ye Zhi Qiu's path.
Ye Zhi Qiu felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, and a broad, solid back, like an insurmountable mountain, completely separated her from death.
Then, she witnessed a scene she would never forget.
Lin Mu extended his right hand.
That right hand, with its distinct joints, pale skin, and elongated shape due to its fusion with Zhang Qiling's template, was longer than that of an ordinary person.
With his index and middle fingers joined together, like two unsheathed swords, he swiftly reached out at the black shadow flying through the air at an angle that defied human biomechanics!
Without the slightest hesitation or frills.
Only the purest, most primal precision and power!
"puff!"
A dull, muffled sound, like a finger poking into wet mud, rang out.
The black shadow that flew towards Lin Mu stopped abruptly less than ten centimeters from his face.
Time seemed to have been paused at that moment.
Everyone stared blankly at the unbelievable scene before them.
Lin Mu stood there quietly, his right hand raised in mid-air.
His index and middle fingers, in an extremely bizarre posture, clamped tightly around the seven-inch mark of the black snake.
The snake's body was still twisting and struggling wildly in mid-air, but its head was firmly locked by those two seemingly slender fingers, unable to move.
"Snap!"
Lin Mu exerted a slight force on his wrist.
A crisp sound, like the cracking of a dry twig, rang out clearly in the deathly silent canyon.
The serpent's spine was crushed!
The snake's frantically writhing body instantly went limp, hanging down helplessly like a black wire that had lost its power.
Lin Mu loosened his grip, letting the strange snake's corpse fall to the ground.
Before the serpent died, it spat out a mouthful of thick, black venom, which splashed onto the rocks beside it.
"Sizzle—"
A wisp of smoke rose up, and the hard black rock was corroded by the venom, leaving a hole the size of a fist!
Everyone gasped at the sight.
Ye Zhi Qiu's legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground. If Su Nian Wei hadn't supported her, she would have fainted.
Just now, that venomous liquid that could corrode rocks was less than twenty centimeters away from her face.
It was Lin Mu who used his own body to block this fatal blow.
The entire room fell silent.
Security captain Wang Meng held his gun, his arm trembling slightly.
As a veteran special forces soldier who has experienced countless battles, he believes his reaction speed is far beyond that of ordinary people.
But in that situation, he didn't even have a chance to fire.
Lin Mu, however, with the advantage of striking first after the opponent's move, used two fingers to execute a miraculous kill.
This completely exceeded his understanding of the limits of the human body.
Professor Zhou and Chen Wentao were completely dumbfounded.
If Lin Mu's previous use of chemical reactions to repel army ants could be explained by folk remedies recorded in ancient books.
what about now?
Can you crush snake bones with two fingers?
What ancient book records this "childhood training"?
Professor Zhou stared intently at Lin Mu's two long, slender fingers, which now exuded a deadly aura. Suddenly, a memory flashed through his mind: many years ago, when he was sorting through a batch of unearthed Han Dynasty bamboo slips, he saw a fragment of a scroll that did not belong to official history and recorded strange tales of alchemists.
That fragment once described a strange person from ancient times in just a few words.
"...His two fingers were unusually long, different from ordinary people, strong enough to pierce stone, and he was skilled at exploring the secrets of tombs..."
Professor Zhou's voice became hoarse with extreme shock. He murmured to himself, "I always thought it was just an exaggerated fabrication by Han Dynasty alchemists, pure nonsense... Could it be that the records in ancient books... are actually true?"
He didn't mention any specific kung fu style name, but this description, full of allusions, was more impactful than any name alone!
After experiencing a ten-second visual shock and pause, the chat in the live stream went completely crazy.
[Holy crap!!! Holy crap holy crap holy crap!!! What did I just see?!]
[Teleportation? Was it teleportation? How did Lin Shen get from the front of the group to in front of Ye Zhi Qiu?]
[Those two fingers! Holy crap! Is that the strength of human fingers? They crushed the snake's bones?!]
[His fingers are incredibly long, strong enough to pierce stone! Professor Zhou's cited ancient texts are amazing! Isn't this the legendary tomb raider?]
These fingers are so beautiful! Long, white, and strong! Hiss...
[Calm down, ladies! But seriously, those fingers are a waste not to play the piano.]
Playing the piano? That's too narrow-minded! Those fingers are wasted on esports! That hand speed is absolutely king of APM!
[Ahem, perverts, tone it down a bit, although I also think... this sense of security is absolutely amazing.]
Despite the stares from the entire audience, as if he were a monster, Lin Mu's face remained expressionless.
He simply took a wet wipe from his pocket, carefully wiped his index and middle fingers that had just pinched the snake's body, then crumpled the used wet wipe into a ball and stuffed it back into his pocket.
It was as if the thrilling instant kill just now was nothing more than a minor incident of accidentally touching something dirty to him.
