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

Chapter 230: The King of the Jushi Kingdom, Another Section of the Kunlun Sacred Tree

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Well, do you see the dam in the middle of the river? It is a watershed with a huge altar in the middle. It is the center of the entire Jushi Kingdom. I was trapped there. The high-level black corpse stone is also there. In addition, there are many secret witchcrafts of the Jushi Kingdom there."

Jiang Hua nodded: "Okay, let's set off quickly."

So the two of them went down the mountain together and walked towards the middle of the river.

Because there was no one else around, Jiang Hua and Jiang Chen moved very quickly and it only took them about ten minutes to reach the foot of the mountain and enter the jungle.

Jiang Hua carried the Tianji Disk with him, so he was not afraid of getting lost.

However, not long after they started walking, Jiang Hua and his companions encountered a lot of zombies.

Apparently, zombies are everywhere in this jungle.

Jiang Hua stood on a tree and looked at the zombies crawling out of the soil. He couldn't help but say, "This place is really full of zombies. There are zombies everywhere. And these zombies are all vampire zombies, right?"

There are two types of zombies: blood-sucking zombies and non-blood-sucking zombies.

In fact, the zombies mentioned in the ancient tomb do not suck blood.

Only the descendants of generals and ministers would suck blood.

Obviously, the ancient country of Jushi captured Jiang Chen and made many people possess Jiang Chen's blood, causing all the zombies in the ancient country to become vampire zombies.

As a normal person, Jiang Hua entered the ancient country of corpses. The vitality in his body greatly stimulated the zombies, which caused all the zombies to come alive and crawl out from the ground.

Jiang Hua said: "These are all your descendants, I'll leave them to you, don't waste time."

Jiang Chen snorted and said coldly: "Everyone retreat!"

A breath surged out, it was the exclusive breath belonging to the King of Zombies.

The zombies were influenced by Jiang Chen and dared not move anymore.

When these zombies faced the generals and ministers, it was as if they had seen their own king. The generals and ministers' orders were like imperial decrees, and if they did not obey, they would lose their heads.

Of course they didn't dare to move.

Seeing that the zombies dared not move, Jiang Hua turned around and left.

Now his skills have become very good and he can move between the woods at a very fast speed.

This doesn't feel like being in Zhalong Mountain.

Although Zhalong Mountain is also a primeval forest, Jiang Hua was there with Hu Bayi and others at that time, so it was impossible for him to abandon Hu Bayi and others.

Now, only the general was following them. The two of them walked as if they were strolling in the garden. In just over half an hour, they arrived at the middle of the river that ran through the entire ancient country of Jushi and came to the side of the altar.

During the period, they also encountered many buildings of the ancient country of Jushi, but Jiang Hua did not pay attention to those buildings.

When I looked closer, I realized that the altar was very large and stood in the middle of the river.

The river is more than fifty meters wide and the water is very turbulent.

However, the altar standing in the middle has remained standing, and after so many years, it is still as good as some new buildings.

It is more like a small attic than an altar.

Jiang Chen said: "The high-level black corpse stone is under the altar. There is a secret room below. After we go in, we can find some secrets of the Jushi Kingdom."

Jiang Hua nodded, tiptoed, and jumped onto the altar in the middle of the river with Jiang Chen.

Jiang Hua fumbled on the altar for a while, and a mechanism opened, revealing a dark cave entrance with a spiral staircase leading downwards. It was unknown how deep the staircase was.

The high-level black corpse stone is inside!

The mechanism was opened, and the passage inside the altar appeared. Jiang Hua walked into the passage inside the altar without fear, and walked down the spiral staircase.

Jiang Chen followed behind and said, "I feel there is a very strong smell of corpses down there, you better be careful."

Jiang Hua said: "It's okay."

With Jiang Hua's current strength, even if there is a lot of corpse energy and countless zombies inside, Jiang Hua will not be afraid. It will just be a stepping stone for him to become stronger.

So the two of them walked down the spiral staircase and soon they reached the underground.

The area below is about 20 square meters, a bit damp, with a coffin placed in the middle.

There were strange runes on the ground and dense iron chains all around. The chains were covered with runes that had begun to rot. Even the walls were carved with runes, which looked very mysterious.

Jiang Chen looked around with an unpleasant expression: "Back then, I was imprisoned here for hundreds of years. These runes on the ground and those iron chains were used to lock me up. The ruler of the Corpse-binding Nation is indeed quite capable."

Jiang Hua said: "These runes do look very powerful."

Then, Jiang Hua looked at the coffin and couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the coffin is used to hold you?"

Jiang Chen said, "Yes, don't underestimate this coffin. It's just an ordinary wooden coffin, but it actually has a great origin. It is said to be made from the Kunlun sacred tree that connects the world. It will not decay for thousands of years. Even if an ordinary corpse lies in it, the flesh will not decay. If it is a zombie, it will be beneficial for the zombie's cultivation. It is because of this that my corpse qi recovered very quickly!"

"Once my corpse qi recovers faster, the cultivation speed of the ruler of the Corpse-binding Nation will also increase."

Jiang Hua nodded. He could understand this.

After all, the King of Corpse-binding Dharma relies on the black corpse stone to practice, and the more corpse qi he has, the faster he can practice.

The general was imprisoned here by the King of the Jushi Kingdom, and was used as nourishment for cultivation. Naturally, the faster the general's corpse qi recovered, the faster the King of the Jushi Kingdom would cultivate.

Jiang Hua said: "I don't know who is lying in this coffin!"

The reason why Jiang Hua judged that there was a corpse in the coffin was because he felt a very strong corpse gas inside. The intensity of the corpse gas was not much less than that of Jiang Chen.

I guess it’s another tough guy.

The general looked at the coffin and said coldly, "It must be the ruler of the Jushi Kingdom!"

Jiang Hua was surprised and asked, "He turned into a zombie too?"

Jiang Chen said, "His aptitude is limited, and it is difficult for him to cultivate to an immortal body through other means, so he absorbed my blood and gained an immortal body. When King Mu of Zhou invaded the Jushi Kingdom, I guess he hid somewhere and escaped, and then fled to this place and practiced in this coffin."

It turned out to be the case.

Jiang Hua thought to himself.

Jiang Hua said: "It seems that the high-level black corpse stone should be in this coffin."

The general nodded and said, "Yes, the Black Corpse Stone is indeed inside. In addition to being used to trap me, this coffin also has a mezzanine, which is where the king hides his treasure."

Jiang Hua walked to the coffin and directly opened the coffin lid with the Kunyu knife. A middle-aged man wearing an imperial robe and a crown was lying inside.

The man's skin was plump and his complexion looked normal, almost like someone who had just died.

And at this moment, he opened his eyes.

"Who disturbed my sleep?"

A dull voice sounded.

An instant after the voice fell, the middle-aged man had left the coffin and stood opposite Jiang Hua and Jiang Chen.

When the general saw the Lord of Jushi Kingdom appear, he pointed at him with a cold expression and said, "Zhang Qitian, do you still remember me?"

The ruler of Jushi State frowned, stared at the general carefully, then remembered, sneered and shouted: "Who did I think it was? It turns out to be my prisoner! Back then, when King Mu of Zhou attacked the city, you were lucky enough to escape. I didn't expect that thousands of years later, you would come to die again. I will take you in."

Jiang Chen snorted coldly: "If you hadn't plotted against me back then, how could I have been imprisoned here by you for hundreds of years! After all, you used my bloodline, those things must be returned."

After saying this, the general disappeared and appeared in front of the King of Kushina, grabbing the King's neck directly.

"Times have changed!"

The King of Kushina roared angrily, and bursts of red light emerged from his body, blocking the attack of the general. Then he forced the general to retreat, opened his mouth suddenly, and two sharp fangs were exposed.

"Thousands of years have passed. With the help of the Kunlun sacred tree, I have achieved immortality. General, you are no match for me!"

As he spoke, the ruler of the Jushi Kingdom disappeared and appeared in front of the general.

So, the two of them fought fiercely in this small area of ​​more than 20 square meters.
