Tomb Raider: Evolution of the Red Dragon, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

Chapter 212 Return, Resurrection of Corpse Ancestor

After returning to the camp, Ah Xiang fell asleep again, and Chen Wenjin began to disinfect Ah Xiang.

Everyone was originally preparing to start resting, but we saw that the sky was already turning pale and the day had begun to brighten.

The days are long and the nights are short here. It gets dark at around 9pm and light again at around 3 or 4am. I just wasted some time in the ancient tomb and it's already daybreak.

So, I had no intention of taking a rest, packed my bags, and started to return the same way.

It was relatively easy to leave Kunlun Mountain, and there were not as many dangers as when they came here before. They left Zanggu Valley safely and met the porters who had been waiting for them outside.

When they learned that Chuyi had died in there, they were all a little sad, but they didn't say much and took Jiang Hua and the others back to their starting point.

A full month later, Jiang Hua finally returned to the capital.

Returning to his own courtyard again, Jiang Hua sighed.

I have been away for more than two months and now I am finally back.

However, although it took two months this time, it was all worth it!
After all, I got so many good things.

After returning home, Jiang Hua had a good sleep. When he got up the next day, he ate a delicious bowl of noodles prepared by Chen Wenjin, then sat in the yard and counted what he had gained this time.

If we take them one by one, then what we get this time would be too much.

Jiang Hua took a quick look at the simpler things and didn't bother with them any more. He focused on the better things and looked at them carefully.

"Jiang Hua, there are some unusual movements in the basement."

At this time, Chen Wenjin walked over and said.

Jiang Hua's heart moved.

I have been in Kunlun Mountain for more than two months, but I actually forgot that there is a basement!
Inside this basement, there is a corpse ancestor-level being imprisoned.

I don't know whether he is a general or a minister.

In fact, Jiang Hua likes Jiang Chen more. After all, in his previous life, he liked watching zombie movies. There was a TV series called "Zombie Covenant", which Jiang Hua still can't forget.

It can be said that this is one of the most classic zombie movies Jiang Hua has ever seen.

However, Jiang Chen, who plays the main villain in the film, has attracted countless fans.

The corpse ancestor in the basement is Jiang Hua's long-term meal ticket. Because there is a constant supply of corpse qi that can be restored, Jiang Hua can rely on the black corpse stone to continuously absorb the corpses from the corpse ancestor and transform them into cultivation resources.

Therefore, Jiang Hua is destined to face this corpse ancestor for a long time in the future.

It would be even better if the corpse ancestor was a general.

Jiang Hua stood up and said, "Let's go down and take a look."

So Jiang Hua took Chen Wenjin to the inner room and opened the mechanism.

As soon as the door of the basement opened, a strong smell of corpses rushed towards me!

Chen Wenjin couldn't help but shudder, unable to bear the smell of corpse.

Jiang Hua waved his hand, used Maoshan magic to dispel the evil spirit, and then walked straight in with Chen Wenjin.

As soon as he walked in, Jiang Hua frowned.

"The ancient corpse is gone!"

Chen Wenjin frowned and looked a little ugly.

Jiang Hua nodded.

Indeed, the mummy that had been standing in the coffin had long disappeared, and a yellow talisman lay on the ground, which was the corpse-fixing talisman!
Worthy of being the ancestor of corpses!
Jiang Hua really underestimated this guy!
I didn't expect that he woke up so long in advance and was able to break the shackles of the corpse-fixing talisman. He is quite capable!

"Drink~"

However, at this moment, a pair of sharp claws fell from the sky.

Jiang Hua looked up and saw that the ancient corpse was rushing towards him.

Obviously, the Corpse Ancestor had been hiding on the ceiling, waiting for Jiang Hua to appear.

Although he broke the corpse-fixing talisman, Jiang Hua's formations were difficult to break in a short time. After all, this was the entire Maoshan formation, which was extremely exquisite. In addition, although the corpse ancestor had awakened, he was not in his prime. Of course, it was impossible for him to break Jiang Hua's Maoshan formation.

"Humph, you're asking for trouble!"

Jiang Hua snorted coldly and punched the ancestor's dry palm.

The current strength of the Corpse Ancestor was no match for Jiang Hua. He was knocked flying by a punch and slammed heavily into the wall with a loud bang. A human imprint appeared on the wall!

Jiang Hua walked towards the corpse.

It was obvious that the Corpse Ancestor would not give up struggling like this. The Corpse Ancestor got up again, roared, and the corpse qi surged out. Then he disappeared directly, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Jiang Hua, and then he opened his mouth and bit Jiang Hua's neck.

Jiang Hua snorted, raised his hand and slapped the Corpse Ancestor on the shoulder. There was another click, and the Corpse Ancestor flew backwards again.

However, the bones of this corpse were dislocated, but it still looked alive and well. After getting up, it pounced on Jiang Hua again.

Jiang Hua frowned, wondering if this corpse ancestor had something wrong with his brain?
Jiang Hua snorted coldly, took the initiative to attack, came in front of the Corpse Ancestor, grabbed the Corpse Ancestor's neck with one palm, slammed him to the ground viciously, and then stepped on his chest. No matter how the Corpse Ancestor struggled, it was of no avail.

Jiang Hua said: "Your current strength has not yet recovered, you can't be my opponent, so give up struggling."

The Corpse Ancestor obviously understood Jiang Hua's words. He let out a muffled groan, but did not struggle anymore.

When it comes to the level of Corpse Ancestor, it can be described as a zombie spirit. It has already become a spirit and has intelligence, unlike other zombie dumplings that are dull and dumb.

Jiang Hua asked, "What's your name?"

The Corpse Ancestor turned his head to the side and ignored Jiang Hua.

Yeah, quite arrogant.

I didn't expect a zombie to be so arrogant.

Jiang Hua shook his head and without further ado, he used the Corpse-Restraining Talisman and the Corpse-Fixing Talisman to immobilize him, then used the Black Corpse Stone to absorb his corpse qi.

Now, Corpse Ancestor's expression turned somewhat ugly.

Obviously, he had already seen that Jiang Hua's method was the same method he used to subdue him, the heir of the ancient country of corpse capture!
At the beginning, he was suppressed by the means of the ancient country of corpse-binding, and even his undead body suffered great damage and fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Hua said calmly: "I know you are an immortal body, and it is the kind that has been activated, but it is useless in front of me. I will not kill you, but your body will become the cornerstone of my strength improvement. You should understand what this stone in my hand is used for."

The Corpse Ancestor was so angry that he was gasping for air, but still didn't say anything. Perhaps after such a long time, his vocal cords had been damaged and he probably couldn't speak anymore.

Jiang Hua quickly absorbed the corpse qi in the corpse ancestor's body.

The Corpse Ancestor is worthy of his name. The corpse energy in his body is extremely powerful, and Jiang Hua used it to his full potential.

Jiang Hua put away the black corpse stone. He did not absorb all of the corpse ancestor's corpse qi, because if all of the corpse ancestor's corpse qi was gone, he might fall into a deep sleep again.

In this way, the recovery of Yin Qi will be much slower, and it may even take hundreds of years to recover.

If the Corpse Ancestor were alive, even if he didn't want to recover his corpse energy, his body would continue to recover on its own.

Therefore, Jiang Hua gave up on continuing to absorb.

After all, we have to plan for the long term.

Jiang Hua put away the corpse-binding talisman and the corpse-fixing talisman and released the corpse ancestor.

The Corpse Ancestor's gaze was cold. He slowly stood up, his eyes looking as if he wanted to kill someone.

But this time he didn't do it again.

Because he knew that he was no match for the human in front of him.

Even though his corpse energy had recovered a little before, he was still no match for Jiang Hua, not to mention that now almost all of it had been sucked away. His strength was greatly reduced, making it even more impossible for him to defeat Jiang Hua.

Jiang Hua patted Corpse Ancestor's shoulder and said, "Recover your corpse energy well. I'll come back to see you in a few days."

The Corpse Ancestor's eyes were as sharp as knives, and he shook off Jiang Hua's hand with a tremor of his shoulders.

Jiang Hua laughed and left with Chen Wenjin.

Chen Wenjin followed behind Jiang Hua and asked in confusion: "Are we just going to leave him there like this?"

Jiang Hua said: "Don't worry, he can't escape the formation below."

Chen Wenjin asked: "What level of Zongzi is that? Why don't you kill him?"

Obviously, Chen Wenjin didn't know that Jiang Hua wanted to use this corpse as a fixed experience library.

Moreover, this corpse ancestor is also an immortal body after all, and his physique is even stronger than Jiang Hua's current one.

Although Jiang Hua is also an immortal body, he can only be considered half an immortal body because he has not been fully activated. In terms of true strength, he cannot be compared with the Corpse Ancestor.

So it was quite difficult for Jiang Hua to kill the Corpse Ancestor.

This is also the reason why the King of Corpse-binding Dharma did not choose to kill the Corpse Ancestor, but instead absorbed all of the Corpse Ancestor's corpse qi and sealed it with the corpse-fixing talisman.

However, the corpse-fixing talisman had been in place for too long and had lost its effect, so the corpse ancestor slowly recovered.

Immortality and immortality are the foundation.

So Jiang Hua said: "No need to kill him, he can still be useful to me."
