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

Chapter 253: The Divine Aura of the Viper, Liu Bowen

After the viper appeared, it roared at Jiang Hua and others.

"Huh, can this guy be killed too?"

Hou Tu said.

Jiang Hua was speechless. Hou Tu was now a violent girl. As long as she saw a monster, she wanted to kill it.

After all, this thing is one of the nine sons of the dragon. It might have the power of a divine beast. If I could obtain its power, my strength would definitely increase a lot.

Jiang Hua said: "No, I'll do it."

Hou Tu was a little unhappy, but still listened to Jiang Hua.

Jiang Hua walked towards Pahu.

Pa Fu originally wanted to attack Jiang Hua, but suddenly he felt the aura of the red dragon on Jiang Hua and was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Hua released his red dragon blood, and the viper immediately dared not move around. It stared at Jiang Hua with wide eyes, curiously.

Jiang Hua said calmly: "Do you know who I am?"

"Plop" sound.

The viper actually climbed down on the spot and bowed its head to Jiang Hua.

This scene made Shencha and the other two feel very sorry for each other.

What's the situation?
The viper actually crawled towards Jiang Hua?

This is the highest courtesy among the beastmen.

Is this how it works without bloodshed?

Only Hou Tu looked at Jiang Hua in surprise: "Red Dragon Bloodline."

Hou Tu sensed the red dragon blood in Jiang Hua.

No wonder this thing surrendered to Jiang Hua, it turns out it has the blood of the Red Dragon.

Since Pa Fu is one of the nine sons of the dragon, he also has dragon blood in his body, but its blood is not as noble as that of the red dragon. After encountering the red dragon blood, of course he did not dare to resist and directly knelt down.

Jiang Hua was very satisfied when he saw Pa Fu's reaction.

This red dragon bloodline is indeed useful.

Jiang Hua said: "Very good, we came here without any intention of hurting you, as long as you are obedient, I will let you go."

The viper stared at Jiang Hua with its big eyes and nodded repeatedly, looking really cute.

Jiang Hua said: "I need two things from you. The first is your divine energy. The second is the lever to open the door. As long as you give me both, you can leave."

Every divine beast has this thing called Shen Yin. Once you obtain it, you can gain the power of their divine beasts.

Divine energy is the most precious thing for every divine beast. At the same time, every divine beast can only condense divine energy once in its lifetime.

Therefore, if a divine beast gives away a divine painting, it will be very cautious.

When the viper heard Jiang Hua's words, it tilted its head and thought for a while, then it opened its mouth, looking like it was laughing. It nodded, opened its mouth, and spit out a emerald green bead.

The divine energy of the viper, "divine energy!"

Hou Tu's eyes fixed, somewhat surprised.

She didn't expect that this viper would willingly give all its divine energy to Jiang Hua.

Jiang Chen and Shen Tu naturally knew what the divine nitrogen was. When they heard that Jiang Hua had actually obtained Pa Fu's divine painting, they couldn't help but show envy.

Jiang Hua was delighted and picked up the divine energy.

[Obtain the divine energy of the viper, and be rewarded with 3000 evolution points]

Jiang Hua put away Pa Fu's spirit, and patted the guy on the head: "Well, you did a very good job, then give me the machine."

The viper opened its mouth and spit out another thing. It really looked like a wheel hub, except that it was made of wood.

Jiang Hua picked up the thing and walked to a magic circle next to it.

This magic circle looks similar to the previous one.

Shen Tu and others also followed over.

Jiang Chen looked at the magic circle and said curiously, "Why does it look like this magic circle is a little different from the previous ones?"

Jiang Hua nodded: "It is indeed different. Look at the words written on this altar."

"This is...Liu Bowen's dragon-locking mark."

Shen Tu said after taking a look.

Jiang Hua nodded, then picked up the trivet, pressed it directly on a certain spot on the altar and turned it. With a "click", the entire ground began to tremble.

Then the turntables on both sides of the door started to rotate automatically.

Soon, the door slowly opened.

Everyone was happy.

The door was finally opened!
"Bang!"

The door was completely opened and it was pitch black inside.

Jiang Hua said: "Okay, the door is open, we can go in now."

Then, Jiang Hua looked at Pa Fu and said, "Big guy, you can go now."

The viper shook its head at Jiang Hua, then turned and ran away.

Jiang Hua, Hou Tu and others then walked towards the gate.

After entering the gate, Jiang Hua said: "The area behind the door should be the mechanism area that Liu Bowen has not solved. If we go further down, there will be many unknowns." Everyone did not retreat because of this.

On the contrary, their movement speed was much faster.

However, not long after they walked away, the ground shook violently again!
Then they noticed that the ground was collapsing rapidly.

Jiang Hua narrowed his eyes slightly. He was not panicked here, but looked around cautiously.

He knows what's going on here.

Soon, the ground around them collapsed and this place became a hollow place with a deep abyss below. Jiang Hua and the others were all standing on a huge iron chain!
All around, there are huge iron chains!
There are countless iron chains crisscrossing and densely packed together.

And in the middle of the crisscrossing iron chains, there was an old Taoist priest in a white robe locked!
"Why is there an old Taoist priest here?"

Jiang Chen frowned.

He is the Zombie King and has no good feelings towards Taoist priests.

Jiang Hua said: "He is Liu Bowen, the builder of this Dragon Locking Well. He also uses his own power to guard here and lock the black dragon underground."

"So it seems that this old Taoist priest still has some spirit of sacrificing his life for justice?"

Said the general.

Jiang Hua didn't say anything, but stared at Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen is also a descendant of Kuidao, just like Shencha.

However, Liu Bowen belongs to the formation-breaking school, while Shencha belongs to the luck school.

"Om~"

However, at this moment, the iron chains around suddenly made a slight trembling sound.

This slight tremor turned into a violent tremor in just an instant! Then countless iron chains turned, and the heads turned into extremely sharp iron spear heads, which quickly stabbed at Jiang Hua and the others.

"Wow~"

All the chains began to rattle.

Shencha and Jiangchen's faces changed and they dodged quickly.

Jiang Hua stood there without moving, allowing the chains to pierce him.

"Boom~"

A layer of rock appeared in front of Jiang Hua and Hou Tu, blocking the chains.

Hou Tu is at the level of eternal life after all, and these chains are just mechanisms created by Liu Bowen. This alone cannot do anything to Jiang Hua.

Jiang Hua looked down and knew that the black dragon was right below, but in order to find the black dragon, he had to deal with Liu Bowen first.

So Jiang Hua grabbed an iron chain, swung his body, and then stepped on the chain and rushed towards Liu Bowen quickly!
Jiang Hua was extremely fast, but more chains appeared. Each chain was like a silver spear, attacking Jiang Hua madly.

Jiang Hua's reaction speed and movement speed were almost sky-high. He drew out the Kunyu Knife, cut the chains with a clang, and quickly came to Liu Bowen's body. At lightning speed, the Kunyu Knife directly pierced Liu Bowen's chest.

"Om~"

In an instant, the chains stopped abruptly, as if time had stopped. Many chains just stood there straight in front of Jiang Hua.

Looking at Liu Bowen again, his body, which was originally well preserved, has now turned into a mummy. No, it should be said that it has turned into a corpse, not even a mummy.

Shencha and others paused, looking at what was happening in front of them in surprise.

Jiang Hua said calmly: "You can go with peace of mind. I will help you deal with the Black Dragon issue."

The reason why Liu Bowen has been guarding here is because he wants to suppress the black dragon with his own body. Otherwise, this huge formation will find it difficult to suppress the terrifying black dragon.

But at this moment, an old voice sounded around.

"I am Liu Bowen, and Yao Guangxiao and I have been ordered by the Emperor to suppress the evil dragon. However, despite our best efforts, we have not been able to achieve our goal."

"I went underground and found a labyrinth built by an ancient master. There are so many formations inside that I cannot break them with my Kui Dao cultivation."

"However, I discovered an evil force underground. The reason why the black dragon caused so much trouble was due to that evil force. Unfortunately, with the power of Yao Guangxiao and I, we are unable to break the maze formation. In order to resolve the chaos in Yanping, I use chains as the formation and sharp blades as the eyes. I use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to suppress the black dragon, and use myself as the guide to guard the center of the formation!"

"And Yao Guangxiao went to look for the Kui Dao formation-breaking lineage!"

"Since you are the descendant of Kui Dao found by Yao Guangxiao, you must be proficient in formations. After going underground, you must break through the maze, destroy the source of the evil power, and use the formation to completely wipe out the black dragon to prevent future troubles!"

"The black dragon is very powerful. The formation uses the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is really against the will of heaven. Be careful when you go there, and don't change the formation recklessly. Otherwise, once the spiritual energy of heaven and earth collapses, the black dragon will escape and it will be a disaster. Remember this!"

After saying this, Liu Bowen's voice disappeared.

"Was that Liu Bowen's voice just now?"

Jiang Chen asked curiously.

He had been sleeping for so many years. Even though Liu Bowen was very famous and was known as the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, this general had never heard of him.

Jiang Hua nodded: "Yes, he used the power of dragon scales to store the sound inside. As long as his formation is broken, we can hear it."

As he spoke, he looked at several huge dragon scales on the mountain wall on one side.

That piece of dragon scale is bigger than a human head.

This is the dragon scale of a black dragon. A single dragon scale is this big, which shows how big a real black dragon is.

The group continued walking forward.

Finally, with Hou Tu's violent clearance, Jiang Hua and others came to a tomb chamber.

“There’s actually a coffin here.”

Said the general.
