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

"Blood Corpse Formation?"

"What is that?"

Wang Kaixuan asked anxiously.

Jiang Hua said: "The Blood Corpse Formation is a strange formation. You should be able to understand it by listening to the name. This formation is composed of blood corpses. In other words, there is a blood corpse in every stone coffin in front of you!"

Wang Kaixuan asked again: "What kind of zongzi is that blood corpse? Is it powerful?"

Hu Bayi said, "I've heard of blood corpses before. They are also called blood dumplings. They have appeared in southern Hunan. Anyone attacked by a blood corpse will be poisoned by the blood corpse. Their skin will fester and their body will be covered in blood!"

Wang Kaixuan's face twitched, and he said with an unpleasant expression: "Oh my god! Is it really that weird?"

Hu Bayi: "I've heard about it, but I haven't seen it. What do you think, Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Hua said: "Old Hu is right. This kind of blood corpse is indeed very scary. The corpse poison on the body cannot be touched. If you touch it, you will be poisoned. I encountered two blood corpses in an ancient tomb in the East China Sea before. Although I was fine, I was almost killed by those two blood corpses."

Wang Kaixuan's face turned pale when he heard this: "Oh my god, even my brother almost fell into the hands of two blood corpses. Now there are more than a hundred blood corpses here. Aren't we doomed?"

They knew how powerful Zhang Qiling was. He was a ruthless man.

When Wang Kaixuan heard that even Zhang Qiling almost fell into the hands of two blood corpses, and now there were so many blood corpses, he was immediately terrified.

That would mean death.

Hu Bayi's expression was not very good either. He asked, "Master Jiang, is this blood corpse really that powerful?"

Jiang Hua said: "The strength of a blood corpse is determined by how long it has existed. The longer it has existed, the stronger it is. If it is just an ordinary blood corpse, it is actually nothing."

Wang Kaixuan asked nervously, "What level of blood corpse was the one that caused Brother to suffer? And what year are these blood corpses now?"

Jiang Hua said: "The blood corpse in the Qixinglu Palace is only about two thousand years old. How long has the Khmer Dynasty been here? Then how many years should this blood corpse be?"

"It's over!"

Hu Bayi shuddered and said bitterly, "The Khmer Dynasty is at least three or four thousand years old. There are more than a hundred three or four thousand year old blood corpses here. Aren't we really going to die here?"

When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he sat down on the ground with a plop. "It's over, it's over. I've made a name for myself in my life, but today I'm going to end up in a foreign tomb. If this gets out, what will I do in the future?"

Hu Bayi said: "If you can't survive, why do you care about the future?"

Now Wang Kaixuan was even more frightened.

But Jiang Hua said: "I am more curious about the connection between this ancient tomb and the Seven Star Lu Palace!"

Wang Kaixuan said: "Master Jiang, it's already this time, why are you still entangled in these things? Let's think of a way, or leave here quickly before those blood corpses rise up. What does it have to do with the Seven Star Lu Palace?"

Hu Bayi glared at Wang Kaixuan and said, "Fatty, don't say anything. Since Master Jiang said that, he must have his own ideas."

Then, Hu Bayi asked Jiang Hua: "Master Jiang, what do you mean by this?"

Jiang Hua said: "I was a little confused before. The principle of the tomb wall mechanism of this ancient tomb is exactly the same as that of the Seven Star Lu Palace. You have to pull out the bricks from the inside out and release the red oil before you can enter the ancient tomb."

"And now, the blood corpse has appeared again. I'm afraid there is a real connection between the two."

After hearing what Jiang Hua said, Hu Bayi couldn't help but nodded.

Jiang Hua shook his head: "I don't understand it now. Maybe after I open the mechanism and see the real Khmer king, the mystery will be revealed."

After saying that, Jiang Hua walked directly towards the sarcophagi.

"Master Jiang, please don't let it get to your head."

Wang Kaixuan shouted quickly.

Hu Bayi glanced at Wang Kaixuan and couldn't help but say, "Fatty, let's take care of ourselves. I don't think anything will happen to Master Jiang, but we may be in big trouble."

He also understood that Jiang Hua was extremely powerful, and even if there were a hundred more blood corpses, they might not be able to do anything to him.

But they may not be like that.

If those blood corpses temporarily entangled Jiang Hua, only one blood corpse would be needed to easily deal with him and Wang Kaixuan.

Moreover, the blood corpse is poisonous. Once they encounter it, they will definitely die!
When Wang Kaixuan thought about it, his face was suddenly filled with fear again.

But at this moment, Jiang Hua suddenly said: "Don't worry, just stand next to the coffin and don't leave. Don't be scared by the blood corpses. The blood corpses will not attack you. They dare not get close to the coffin."

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi felt relieved.

He still has great trust in Jiang Hua.

Since Jiang Hua said that nothing would happen if he stood next to the coffin, then nothing would happen.

Wang Kaixuan said, "Master Jiang, is that right? Don't wait until you turn around and find that we have all been bitten to death."

Suddenly, Hu Bayi, Hou Tu and others all looked at Wang Kaixuan.

Wang Kaixuan was embarrassed.

Jiang Hua ignored him and came to the first sarcophagus. He kicked it open and found a corpse lying inside. The corpse was covered with a kind of armor made of jade pieces. It was a jade figurine, but what else could it be?
It is indeed a jade figurine!
I didn’t expect to see this kind of jade figurine in this divine kingdom!

Could it be that the bloody corpses in these sarcophagi are all wearing jade figurines?

So what is the connection between this place and the Queen Mother of the West's Underground Palace and the Seven-Star Palace of King Lu?

Jiang Hua did not touch the bloody corpse, but walked to another sarcophagus and kicked it open. The corpse inside was indeed the same as the previous one.

There was another thing that Jiang Hua was also very curious about.

That is the rumor that after thousands of years, people wearing jade figurines will be resurrected.

These corpses have been wearing jade figurines for at least four thousand years. Logically, they should have been resurrected long ago, but this is not the case.

"What is Master Jiang doing?"

Wang Kaixuan saw Jiang Hua kick open the sarcophagi and found that no bodies jumped out, so he was not so scared anymore and asked. Hu Bayi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Wang Kaixuan said: "Why don't we go and take a look?

Hu Bayi hesitated for a moment, unable to suppress his curiosity. He thought to himself that it would be fine to just look inside the nearest sarcophagus. If anything unexpected happened, it would be fine to run back immediately.

After all, this place is very close to the first sarcophagus.

It's just a few steps away.

So, Hu Bayi nodded and went to the nearest sarcophagus with Wang Kaixuan.

Uncle Ming hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to follow.

Then Chen Wenjin and Yin Xingyue followed.

Only Hou Tu stood there without moving.

"what is this?"

Wang Kaixuan looked at the jade figurines curiously and couldn't help but ask, "These things seem to be made of jade. They must be very valuable, right?"

As he said this, he prepared to get the jade figurine.

"Do not move!"

Chen Wenjin suddenly said.

As someone who had returned alive from the Queen Mother of the West's underground palace, she certainly knew what the jade figurine was. This thing was extremely scary.

After being shouted at like that, Wang Kaixuan immediately stopped moving.

At this moment, Hu Bayi suddenly exclaimed: "Look, this corpse seems to be breathing, his chest is still rising and falling!"

It wouldn't matter if it wasn't said, but once it was said, everyone was shocked.

What a joke, how could someone who has been lying there for thousands of years still be breathing?

Everyone's expression became tense, including Chen Wenjin and Yin Xingyue.

Although both of them were already at the level of immortals and had considerable strength, they were still frightened when they heard that the corpse in the ancient tomb was still breathing.

Wang Kaixuan's body froze and he cursed, "Old Hu, don't talk nonsense, this will scare people to death!"

Uncle Ming also said, "Yes, Master Hu, how is it possible that someone in this world can still breathe after being dead for more than 4,000 years? This is ridiculous!"

Hu Bayi pointed at the corpse's chest and said, "You can see for yourself.

Several flashlights fell on the chest of the corpse. Looking closely at the chest, I saw that the chest was rising and falling slowly. Didn't it look like it was breathing?
This scene scared several people.

"This, how is this possible!"

"Is there really a ghost?"

"Let's go!"

Uncle Ming said with a trembling voice.

Wang Kaixuan was so scared that his face turned pale. Although they had followed Jiang Hua for such a long time and had seen all kinds of strange things, they were still afraid if they really encountered something like a ghost.

After all, this thing is beyond human cognition.

Humans are naturally afraid of ghosts.

"I say, what are you afraid of?"

At this time, a calm voice sounded, and Jiang Hua walked out of the darkness.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Jiang Hua coming.

At least, I don't have to be so scared anymore.

Jiang Hua is the stabilizing force for them.

Wang Kaixuan said, "Master Jiang, please come and take a look. Why is this corpse still breathing?"

Jiang Hua said: "Isn't it normal to be breathing? It's abnormal if you're not breathing."

"How to say?"

When they heard Jiang Hua say this, they were not so nervous anymore.

Jiang Hua said: "Do you know what this is?"

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan both shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

Jiang Hua said: "This thing is called a jade figurine. When a person is about to die, they wear it. Every five hundred years, they can transform and become lighter, until they finally reach their youngest state, and then they can be resurrected."

"That is to say, as long as a person is not dead, if he wears this kind of jade figurine and is not affected by external forces, he can live for thousands of years."

After hearing Jiang Hua's words, they all widened their eyes.

Wang Kaixuan said, "Oh my god, Master Jiang, do you mean that this person is still alive?"

Jiang Hua nodded: "Not only is this person still alive, but everyone in the sarcophagus here is still alive."

"Fuck!"

"Then we have entered a tomb of the living dead!"

"What should we do now? Should we save these people?" Wang Kaixuan asked. (End of this chapter)
