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

Chapter 268 Corpse flies, bees drowning in the mountains

Yin Nanfeng stared at Jiang Hua. Although he had seen Jiang Hua take action before, Jiang Hua mostly relied on other means, such as the beak of Jingwei or Hou Tu's attack. Jiang Hua himself had never really taken any action.

This move really shocked her.

No wonder even Zhang Qiling praised Jiang Hua so highly, saying that no one in the capital could be Jiang Hua's rival!

Now it seems that this reputation is well-deserved!
After dealing with these zongzi, Zhang Qiling was about to kill them all, but Jiang Hua immediately said, "Stop!"

Zhang Qiling frowned, thinking of the time in the underground palace of Queen Mother of the West. He thought about it and nodded, then said, "Take out the key from the sarcophagus and leave here first."

Hu Bayi and the others were very confused and looked at Jiang Hua: "Master Jiang, what is this?"

Jiang Hua said: "Do as he says."

So, the group took out the things in the sarcophagus, which turned out to be a box with a mechanism on it. The youngest sister opened it on the spot, and a brush appeared inside.

Now everyone was dumbfounded.

What's the situation?
Didn’t you say there was a key? Why is it a brush?
Everyone looked at Professor Sun. Professor Sun knew nothing. He looked embarrassed and said, "I don't know what's going on here either!"

Jiang Hua said, "This brush is indeed the key. Follow the map on the stone box to find the entrance to the underground palace, then wet the brush and use it to draw a door at the entrance. Remember, don't touch the ink on the brush with your hands. Anyone who touches it will die."

As soon as he said this, Fatty Wang, who was holding the brush, quickly threw it into the stone box, as if the brush had grown thorns.

After hearing this, the others looked at the brush with some fear.

Although this thing is the key to open the underground palace, it can also take their lives!

No one dares to be careless.

They firmly believed in Jiang Hua's words.

So, they followed the map on the stone box, left the tomb, and headed underground, to the entrance of King Wuyang's underground palace.

Zhang Qiling did not stay here, but left with Hu Bayi and the others.

In a blink of an eye, only Jiang Hua, Hou Tu and Chen Wenjin were left here.

Jiang Hua then looked at the fixed dumplings.

These rice dumplings are tonic for Jiang Hua, so of course he would not let them go.

Chen Wenjin asked: "How can a writing brush be a key? Is there really a magic brush in this world?"

Jiang Hua said: "The ink of the brush is made of a special secret drug, which can attract a strange kind of bees. After the bees come into contact with this drug, they can secrete honey. The honey has a very strong corrosive effect and can easily corrode the wall and open a door. This is the bee drowning through the mountain, a very powerful tomb-robbing technique."

Chen Wenjin suddenly understood.

Jiang Hua looked at the controlled zongzi, then came to the front of the zongzi, took out the corpse-fixing talisman and the high-level black corpse stone. For Jiang Hua, these zongzi were all great tonics!

Although they are just immortal beings, there are too many of them.

Twelve rice dumplings, at least, are equivalent to a general, right?
It might even be possible to surpass the corpse energy in Jiang Chen's body, so Jiang Hua felt that he would definitely be able to gain a large number of attributes!
So Jiang Hua began to absorb the corpse qi in these rice dumplings without hesitation.

Chen Wenjin already knew that Jiang Hua could use that black stone to absorb corpse qi, so she was not surprised. On the contrary, Hou Tu couldn't help showing a hint of surprise when she saw that Jiang Hua could actually use the corpse qi for his own benefit.

She didn't expect that Jiang Hua, while having the Jingwei Beak, also had this method to directly absorb corpse qi for his own use. No wonder his strength could improve so quickly.

Time passed slowly, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Although the speed of absorbing corpse gas has become faster after obtaining the advanced black corpse stone and the corpse-fixing talisman, there are too many zongzi here, and they are all immortal-level zongzi, which are not comparable to those ordinary little zongzi.

Each zongzi takes several minutes.

So, half an hour later, Jiang Hua finally devoured all the corpse qi in the bodies of the twelve dumplings.

Jiang Hua didn't look at the bodies lying on the ground anymore, but looked at Hou Tu and Chen Wenjin: "Okay, let's go too."

So, Chen Wenjin and Hou Tu followed Jiang Hua and left.

Soon, Jiang Hua found them based on the marks left by Zhang Qiling.

When they found Zhang Qiling and the others, they discovered that the entrance to the underground palace had already appeared, but none of them went in first. They were all waiting for Jiang Hua.

Fatty Wang saw Jiang Hua coming and said excitedly, "Master Jiang, you are amazing. Did you predict that bees would come to help us, so you asked us to draw a door here?"

Jiang Hua said: "Well, now that the door has appeared, let's go in."

"Okay!" Fatty Wang smiled and took the lead to walk into the underground palace.

When they walked into the underground palace, they found that it was a dark and damp cave. Going down the cave, they saw many coffins placed in a crisscross pattern. Fatty Wang was wondering if there might be any good things inside, but as he walked down the cave, he found nothing good, which disappointed him greatly.

After walking for a while, everyone found that there was no road ahead!

There is actually a huge lake, or rather an underground river, inside.

They went all the way down, and when they reached a certain point, they probably reached the same level as the Yangtze River. This place might be a tributary of the Yangtze River.

“What if there is no road?”

Fatty Wang asked.

Jiang Hua looked at the coffins around him and said, "Isn't this a ready-made boat?"

The youngest sister asked, "Brother Jiang, are we going to go there in a coffin?"

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Why, are you scared?"

"No, I'm not afraid!"

The youngest sister said.

Jiang Hua smiled silently, then asked the people from the Crescent Hotel to tie all the coffins together with ropes, and then pushed the coffins into the water.

Fatty Wang joked, "Master Jiang, are you trying to imitate Cao Cao? Aren't you afraid that the Black Sheep King will burn all your ships?"

Jiang Hua said: "If the Black Sheep King dares to come out, I, Jiang Hua, will take him in."

After saying that, he jumped into a coffin first and called on the others to jump into the coffins.

So, the group continued to swim forward.

Gradually, the water flow began to increase, and Jiang Hua's method began to take effect.

"Shit! Will this wash us into the Yangtze River?"

Fatty Wang shouted loudly.

Hu Bayi said, "Fatty, shut up!"

Hu Bayi knew that this guy was too smart with his words. If he really pushed them into the Yangtze River, it would be disastrous.

Hu Bayi added: "Master Jiang is indeed foresighted. If we hadn't tied all the coffins together, we would have been scattered by now, and we don't know where we would have been washed away."

Fatty Wang also admired him very much.

Jiang Hua said: "The entrance to the underground palace of King Wuyang is in the stone walls on both sides. Look carefully and don't run past it."

After hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the passing scenery around them, and their flashlights kept shaking, looking for the underground tomb door that Jiang Hua mentioned.

Not long after, Zhang Qiling said, "There."

Everyone looked in the direction Zhang Qiling pointed, and saw a tomb door appear on the stone wall in the distance!
"Finally found it! You're awesome, bro!"

Fatty Wang said.

So, everyone used the engineering shovels as oars, rowed towards the tomb door, and quickly approached it.

However, at this moment, a strange buzzing sound suddenly appeared all around, as if a fly was flying over!
Hu Bayi shone the flashlight upwards and saw a gray "dark cloud" appearing not far away, flying towards them rapidly!
"What is this? It's not another locust, is it?
Fatty Wang said.

But this time he didn't worry.

After seeing the power of Jiang Hua's Jingwei Beak, he understood that even if there were more locusts, they would all be killed by Jiang Hua. It would be as easy as crushing an ant.

However, Hu Bayi said: "It's not a locust, but a kind of fly called a corpse fly!"

"What? Corpse flies?"

Fatty Wang glared. It sounded like this thing was not a good thing. It was probably more powerful than the locusts and swifts.

I don’t know if Mr. Jiang can handle it?
Fatty Wang thought to himself.

But Jiang Hua looked at Hou Tu: "Is it possible that there is also evil spirit in these corpse flies?"
