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

Chapter 217 Wang Banyue: Damn, is this cousin a human or a ghost?

That's right!

Back then, he was tempted by the money, so he knocked out all the members of the archaeological team, and then pushed them into the lake to drown them. But later, for some unknown reason, those people reappeared, and they were still alive!
However, those people did not settle accounts with him, so few people knew about it.

However, Jiang Hua knew it clearly!
Could it be that he was one of the members of the archaeological team back then?
But when Pan Ma looked carefully, he found that he had never seen Jiang Hua at all.

"Hmph, I don't care who you are, hand over all the valuables on you to me, otherwise you will end up like the archaeological team back then. This time, no one will be able to save you!"

Pan Ma threatened Jiang Hua.

Jiang Hua looked at Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen understood what Jiang Hua meant. He suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the horse.

They didn't know how Jiang Chen appeared, they just knew that Jiang Chen appeared in front of Pan Ma at a speed almost like teleportation!
Everyone's expression changed drastically, and all the guns were pointed at Jiang Chen.

"."

Pan Ma was so frightened that he begged for mercy quickly. However, as soon as Pan Ma opened his mouth, there was a "click" and the general had already grabbed Pan Ma's neck. With a little force, Pan Ma's neck was broken.

Pan Ma's head tilted and he died on the spot!

"Sigh~"

Everyone gasped.

So fierce!
If you say kill, kill!
There is no room for maneuver at all!
When the others saw that Jiang Chen actually killed Pan Ma, their hearts skipped a beat. They didn't know who fired the shot, but then they all opened fire, and bullets landed on Jiang Chen one by one.

However, the bullets seemed to hit steel plates, not even breaking the general's skin.

joke!

This is the ancestor of corpses.

To say that he has skin of steel and bones is an understatement. How can an undead body be dealt with by a few guns?
These guns were hunting rifles, and they had to be reloaded after firing a bullet. When they saw that Jiang Chen was standing there unharmed without even a scratch on his skin, everyone was so scared that they forgot to reload their bullets!
"A monster!"

Someone shouted, and suddenly everyone fled in panic. Some people didn't even dare to pick up their guns when they dropped them. Escaping was the most important thing.

Jiang Hua had no intention of killing them, so Jiang Chen did not pursue them.

Wu Xie and Wang Banyue were also stunned.

Jiang Chen walked slowly behind Jiang Hua and stayed there obediently.

Wang Banyue took a while to react. He said, "Master Jiang, is your cousin a human or a ghost?"

Jiang Hua smiled evilly: "Anyway, it's not a human."

Wang Banyue laughed dryly: "Master Jiang, you really know how to joke."

Jiang Hua said, "I'm not kidding."

Wang Banyue and Wu Xie looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

They felt that Jiang Hua was joking, but it didn't seem like it.

But no matter what, at least the other party listens to Jiang Hua very much, so no matter how powerful he is, whether he is a human or a ghost, at least he will not harm himself and others.

Zhang Qiling seemed much calmer, but he looked at Jiang Chen with some confusion.

His perception is much sharper than Wu Xie and the others. He can see that Jiang Chen does not look like a human. He has a strong smell of corpse. Could he be a zombie?

But how could a zombie talk and look so much like a human?

Not too possible.

Zhang Qiling didn't think too much about it.

Jiang Hua kicked Pan Ma's body away and shook his head secretly. I warned you a long time ago, but you didn't listen. Now you have lost your life, so you can't blame me.

This time, Jiang Hua did not ask Jiang Chen to blast the rocks open. What if this guy was too violent and collapsed the entrance while breaking the rocks? That would be disastrous.

So Jiang Hua released the black turtle from the waist cage.

Wu Xie and Wang Banyue were immediately attracted by the black turtle.

Wu Xie asked: "Master Jiang, what is this?"

Wang Banyue said: "This should be the pangolin that moves mountains, right? But the animal that Master Jiang is holding doesn't seem to be a pangolin."

"呲~"

The black turtle immediately bared its teeth at Wang Banyue.

"Is this guy so humane?"

Wang Banyue was happy.

Jiang Hua said: "Yes, this is the Pangolin, but mine is not a pangolin, but a thousand-year-old black turtle, which is much more powerful than a pangolin."

"Oh my god, it's a thousand years old, that's awesome!"

Wang Banyue said in surprise.

Wu Xie was surprised and asked, "Fatty, what is this Chuanshan Cave Mausoleum Armor used for? I have never heard of it before."

Wang Banyue said: "This cave-drilling armor is a secret skill of the Banshan School. After it is trained, it can easily penetrate even the hardest rock formations. Its speed of digging caves is dozens of times faster than that of humans!"

"Is it so powerful?"

Wu Xie said.

Wang Banyue pointed at the black turtle that was already digging a hole in the rock and said, "Look at its speed."

The black tortoise started to dig a hole. In a blink of an eye, a very large hole was dug in the rock. The speed was so fast that it was comparable to that of an impact drill!

Wu Xie’s eyes widened!

Soon, the black tortoise opened the passage below and came out again. Jiang Hua collected the black tortoise and said, "Okay, the tunnel has been dug. Let's go down now. The Zhang family's ancient building is right below!"

Not only is the Zhang family's ancient building underneath, the other half of the ancient Yao divine jade is also inside!

The group followed Jiang Hua and went down along the tunnel, and soon they arrived at a corridor.

"There is indeed a tomb here."

Wang Banyue said a little excitedly.

This guy was originally a tomb robber, so he was naturally excited when he came across a big tomb.

Jiang Hua led them forward and soon they arrived at a closed cave with only an entrance, which was very strange.

It is very humid in here, but there is an altar with an incense burner on it. Behind the altar, there are iron figurines doing different actions. In addition, there is an iron figurine in the middle that is obviously special. It is taller and more powerful than the others, and its appearance is also very impressive.

The other iron figurines only have molds but no faces.

When a group of people walked in, Jiang Hua's heart moved. This was the closed cave where Wu Xie and others had first entered the ancient tomb.

Then these iron figurines should be statues of the God of Thunder.

Or, the one in the middle is the God of Thunder?

"It seems this place is used for sacrifices."

Wu Xie said.

Jiang Hua nodded: "It is indeed used for sacrifice. This is the place where the ancient Yao people privately worship. These iron figurines are all fierce gods. The one in the middle should be the Thunder King God, who is specifically responsible for restraining the evil gods in the mountains. This kind of sacrifice will not be performed publicly."

When Wang Banyue heard this, he said, "It turns out to be Grandpa Thunder God. Let's go and pay our respects!"

As he spoke, Wang Banyue bowed several times to the iron statue of Thunder King.

Wu Xie joked: "Fatty, what era is this? You still believe in this?"

After Wang Banyue finished worshipping, he said, "Wu Xie, this is what you don't understand. We deal with the dead, so when we encounter these ghosts and gods, we have to be respectful and ask them to protect us. Otherwise, we don't know when we will be killed by the evil gods."

Wu Xie shook his head helplessly.

Jiang Hua also walked to the altar.

He remembered that the incense ash on the altar could be rubbed on the ground, and then some words and maps would appear on the ground. Then, if the incense ash was rubbed on the wall, a figure would appear inside the wall.

Those human figures are all failed products of the Jade Vein clones!

Jiang Hua came here and picked up the incense burner, but saw many vague patterns painted on the altar.

There was too much dust so I couldn't see clearly.

Jiang Hua put down the incense burner and swept away the dust on the altar. He saw that there were indeed a lot of lines drawn on the altar. These lines were connected to form a strange beast!

"This is... Qilin!"

Jiang Hua raised his eyebrows when he saw that the strange beast carved on the altar was actually a Qilin.

Zhang Qiling came over and nodded: "Yes, and it is the Thunder Kirin that the ancient Yao people and the Zhang family have been pursuing!"

Jiang Hua's breathing stagnated.

He saw that there were indeed a series of slight arcs of electricity on the Qilin's body.

This is actually the Thunder Kirin!

It is mentioned in the original book that the ancient Yao people were very particular about tattoos. Many people started getting tattoos at a young age, not because they look good, but because these tattoos can change color when a person is sick, especially when they have a fever.

In this way, we can make a good judgment on the condition of the tribe members.

In ancient tribes, each tribe had its own totem of faith, and the tattoos on their bodies were often the totems of their own tribe’s faith.

The totem of the ancient Yao people’s belief is the Qilin.

Therefore, it was mentioned in the original book that Pan Ma also had the same Qilin tattoo as Zhang Qiling, but he was not a member of the Zhang family.

The reason is what I mentioned above.

And now, carving a Thunder Qilin on this altar is a normal thing.

Jiang Hua asked: "Xiao Zhang, do you know where this Thunder Qilin is?"

Zhang Qiling frowned: "I'm not sure, in my impression, there is something about Lei Qilin on the top floor of the Zhang family's ancient building."

The top floor of the Zhang family’s ancient building?

It seems that this trip not only allows me to obtain the ancient Yao divine jade, but also allows me to obtain information about the bloodline of the Thunder Kirin. It can be said that this trip is completely worthwhile.

Now that he knew that Lei Qilin was hiding on the top floor of the Zhang family's ancient building, Jiang Hua didn't want to stay here and waste time. As for the Miluotuo in the walls, Jiang Hua was not interested in looking for them.

Those things are nothing more than failed clones.

As he spoke, Jiang Hua searched around for a while and finally found the mechanism here.

"Boom!"

A stone door appeared, and when it opened, there was a passage behind it.

This is it!
Jiang Hua was delighted, and then said, "Let's go."

So, Jiang Hua took Zhang Qiling and others into the passage behind the stone gate, ready to leave.

But at this moment, the surrounding walls suddenly shattered!

An extremely slender hand emerged from inside!
