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

Chapter 218: Clones, Immortality Plan
"Why, why is there someone in here?"

Wu Xie asked in horror.

Wang Banyue said: "No, it doesn't look like a human. Look at his hands, they are made of iron, just like the iron figurines outside!"

As he spoke, he raised his gun.

This gun was discarded by Pan Ma's men and was picked up by Wang Banyue, who used it for self-defense.

Wu Xie also discovered this.

Then more hands emerged from the wall.

“So many!”

Wang Banyue exclaimed, and for a moment he didn't know which hand to point the shotgun at.

Jiang Hua's eyes flashed, and he took out the black gold ancient knife and threw it to Zhang Qiling.

No one knew where Zhang Qiling's black gold ancient sword had gone, and he had never been seen with it.

Zhang Qiling nodded to Jiang Hua.

Then, the wall broke open, and more "Iron Men" walked out from the wall. Almost all of them had no faces, and they faced Jiang Hua and the others head-on.

Wang Banyue and Wu Xie were terrified.

"What the hell is this?"

Wang Banyue said in surprise.

Jiang Hua said: "This is Miluotu, a failed clone. It was born inside the rocks of the mountains and can move freely among the rocks, just like a fish in water."

"Oh my god, there is such a thing!"

Wang Banyue said.

But Jiang Hua remained silent at this time.

Because he saw that among the many iron men, there were several who did not become iron men!

These were living people, staring at Jiang Hua and the others. There was no emotion in their eyes, just like machines.

Among them, there was a person that Jiang Hua was very familiar with, and Wang Banyue and the others were also very familiar with!

Wang Banyue looked back at Wu Xie, then at the living people in the Iron Man group, and asked in surprise: "Wu Xie, you have a twin brother?"

Wu Xie also saw the person who looked exactly like him, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

He couldn't help but think of the person on the videotape who looked exactly like him!
Could it be this person?

"Qi Yu!"

However, at this time, Chen Wenjin couldn't help but let out a low cry.

Jiang Hua glanced at Chen Wenjin.

Could it be that this person who looks exactly like Wu Xie is Qi Yu?

Qi Yu died in Changbai Mountain a long time ago, so the person in front of him should be a replica of Qi Yu!
There are actually people who have successfully copied it.

And there are quite a few.

No wonder the letter Zhang Qiling sent before said that clones appeared. Now it seems that Zhang Qiling had indeed been in here a long time ago and saw these clones.

Jiang Hua said, "Let's go, these are just clones, there's no need to make a fuss."

He didn't want to waste time here.

Whether to clone people or not has little to do with him.

Now Jiang Hua only needs to find the Zhang family ancient building, and then go to the top floor of the Zhang family ancient building to take a look, find out the news about Lei Qilin, and by the way see if the other piece of ancient Yao divine jade is in the Zhang family ancient building.

"Clone? Master Jiang, are you saying that the person who looks like Wu Xie is a clone of Wu Xie?"

Wang Banyue asked.

Jiang Hua said: "It's not Wu Xie's, but a person called Qi Yu."

"Qi Yu?"

Wu Xie asked: "Why does Qi Yu look like me?"

Jiang Hua said: "I'll tell you later. I don't have that much time to explain it to you now."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Hua looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Stop those things."

Jiang Chen nodded silently, then stepped forward and stood in front of Jiang Hua and others.

With generals and ministers around, Jiang Hua felt very relieved.

With Jiang Chen's ability, it is relatively easy to deal with these clones, and Jiang Hua also trusts Jiang Chen very much.

So, Jiang Hua took Zhang Qiling and others away.

Finally, after walking for about five minutes, we finally left the tomb passage.

As soon as they left the tomb passage, everyone looked around and found a pool of water. Apart from that, there was nothing else, so there should be no danger.

So the group of people finally stopped.

Wu Xie said, "Master Jiang, what is going on? Why does Qi Yu look exactly like me? Is the person in the video tape Qi Yu?"

Jiang Hua nodded: "Yes, it's Qi Yu."

After a pause, Jiang Hua asked Chen Wenjin to give the small sword to Wu Xie and said, "Wu Xie, write a few words on the ground."

Wu Xie didn't understand what Jiang Hua meant, so he took the sword and asked, "Master Jiang, what do you want to write?"

"You can write anything you want, even your name."

Jiang Hua said.

Wu Xie hesitated for a moment and wrote the word "Zhang".

"Is it enough?"

Wu Xie asked.

Jiang Hua looked at Chen Wenjin: "Are you familiar with her?"

Chen Wenjin shuddered, staring at the words in front of her with wide eyes: "This handwriting is exactly the same as Qi Yu's! Write a few more words and see!"

Wu Xie knew that the mystery that had been bothering him was about to be solved, so he didn't waste any more words and simply wrote a poem.

After reading it, Chen Wenjin said, "Yes! Your handwriting is exactly the same as Qi Yu's!"

Wu Xie finally couldn't bear it anymore, he asked: "Who is Qi Yu?"

He looked at Chen Wenjin, wondering in his heart, who is this cousin of Mr. Jiang, and why does she know someone who looks exactly like him?
Chen Wenjin said: "Qi Yu is the descendant of Master Qi Ba, and was also a member of the archaeological team back then. He went to the Xisha shipwreck tomb and stayed in a sanatorium for a while. Later, no one knew where he went."

Jiang Hua said: "He's dead." "Dead?"

Wu Xie frowned: "Master Jiang, can you tell me what is going on? Why do I look exactly like Qi Yu? And who is she? Why does she know so much?!"

Chen Wenjin looked at Jiang Hua with a questioning look in her eyes.

Jiang Hua said: "You can tell them your identity. That organization no longer exists. And even if it still exists, no one can hurt you with me here."

After hearing what Jiang Hua said, Chen Wenjin felt comforted. She nodded and tore off her human skin mask.

"This... Aunt Wenjin!"

Seeing the face in front of him that was younger than him, Wu Xie widened his eyes and looked at Chen Wenjin in disbelief.

Wang Banyue stared with his eyes wide open and said, "Oh my God."

Even Zhang Qiling was looking at Chen Wenjin intently.

"Wu Xie, it's me."

Chen Wenjin said.

"Mr. Jiang, didn't you say that Aunt Wen Jin...she's gone?" Wu Xie said in shock.

Chen Wenjin said: "Wu Xie, it was me who asked Jiang Hua to say this. I had no chance of survival, but it was Jiang Hua who saved me and I was able to survive."

After a pause, she looked at Jiang Hua: "Jiang Hua, the reason why Wu Xie became what he is now should be related to his grandfather, right?"

Jiang Hua nodded: "Yes, back then the Nine Sects were mainly divided into two factions, one faction stood on the side of the organization, and the other faction chose to oppose. The Chen family, the Huo family, the Qi family, etc., all stood on the side of the organization, while the Wu family was on the opposite side."

"Later, Wenjin, Huoling, and Qiyu all took that kind of elixir and gained the ability to remain immortal."

"In order to confuse those people, Wu Laogou trained Wu Xie's living habits and handwriting since he was a child, and even deliberately cultivated his appearance to be like Qi Yu, just to make those people think that Wu Xie is Qi Yu, and let them think that Changsheng's plan was successful."

Wu Xie was stunned when he heard this.

He never imagined that he was exactly like Qi Yu because of his grandfather!

This is incredible.

Wu Xie fell silent, feeling that he had suffered a huge blow.

He felt that his whole life was controlled by others, like a puppet on strings.

Jiang Hua didn't say anything more. It was enough for him to tell Wu Xie these.

Not long after, Jiang Chen also came back.

"There is an ancient building below."

At this time, Zhang Qiling pointed at the pool and said lightly.

Ancient building?

Could it be the Zhang family’s ancient building?
I didn’t expect that we would find the Zhang family’s ancient building so quickly!

Jiang Hua hurried over.

Jiang Hua quickly came to the pool and looked down.

There is indeed an ancient building beneath the calm water, but... this ancient building looks a little strange.

Jiang Hua looked carefully and found that it was the other way around.

Jiang Hua soon understood.

This is the pond that Wang Banyue brought Wu Xie to. There was a mirror below and a pattern of Zhang family's ancient building above the pond. Using the principle of shadowless lamp and refraction, the pattern was refracted into the pond, so it looked like there was a valley in the pond.

In fact, the ancient building is fake.

Jiang Hua knew this clearly.

In that case, the entrance to the Zhang family ancient building is nearby. As long as we find the mechanism, we can find the way to the Zhang family ancient building!

Although these are plots that only appear after the finale, it doesn’t matter to Jiang Hua. He just needs to get what he wants. As for the plot of stealing the pen?
Let it be a mess.

It has nothing to do with him.

Anyway, this matter is also good for Wu Xie.

Wu Xie had come back to his senses by now, and seemed to have temporarily put aside the matter between him and Qi Yu. He came to the edge of the pond and saw the ancient building below. He couldn't help but ask, "Could the ancient building in the pond be the Zhang family's ancient building?"

Jiang Hua shook his head: "It's just a projection, not the Zhang Family Ancient Building. However, the real Zhang Family Ancient Building is hidden here. We just need to find the mechanism and open the passage to find the Zhang Family Ancient Building."

After saying that, Jiang Hua jumped onto the top of the pool, found some kerosene in the dome above the pool, and then jumped down.

Everyone looked at the kerosene in Jiang Hua's hand with a look of surprise on their faces.

"Mr. Jiang, what do you mean? Do you want to burn us to death?" Wang Banyue asked.

Jiang Hua said: "You will know in a moment."

After saying that, Jiang Hua took out a tinder and lit the kerosene.

The flames suddenly jumped up and the temperature of the entire tomb began to rise.

After a while, the sound of mechanisms being activated could be heard all around.

Everyone was startled by the sound of the mechanism being activated, and then looked around. Wu Xie said, "Could it be that the mechanism here is activated according to the change in indoor temperature?"

Jiang Hua nodded.

Soon, a wall moved to both sides and a passage appeared in front of everyone.

"Oh my god! There really is a passage! Mr. Jiang, have you been here before? You even know that this mechanism is opened in this way. I would have thought that this was not the Zhang family's ancient building, but the Jiang family's ancient building!"

Wang Banyue said.

Jiang Hua smiled. If he hadn’t read the original novel, he wouldn’t have known these things.

Jiang Hua said: "Let's go."

So, a group of people walked into the passage.

However, not long after they walked, those strange clones appeared again in the surrounding walls, and this time there was an even larger clone, blocking Jiang Hua and his friends' way.

That clone was obviously a female, and her strength and speed were unmatched by other clones. She rushed towards Jiang Hua and the others without hesitation.

Jiang Hua said: "These things can secrete a liquid, which will turn into rock after solidification. Be careful."

These words were spoken to the general.

Although Jiang Chen is powerful, if he touches those liquids and solidifies into rock, it will be very troublesome.

Jiang Chen nodded and rushed towards the female clone.

Sure enough, that thing opened its mouth and spit out a large amount of black liquid.
