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

"How is it? Did you find the core?"

Yun touched her chin.

"We have found them, but we have discovered something else. That is, there is a silver thread pulling them behind them."

Jiang Hua stood up and touched his chin.

"That means they are being manipulated now, right?"

Yun nodded.

"Yes, that means it is useless to verify that it has been destroyed now. The only thing we can do is to find where the controller is."

Jiang Hua sighed.

"Shouting... Things are getting complicated. I thought it would be fine after destroying the core, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome."

Luo shook his head.

"It's okay, it's okay. There are just too many things to find. At worst, we can just defeat the puppeteer as well."

Yun shook her head.

"Not really. Anyone who can control the tree spirit deep in the forest can't be too weak, so it's better to be careful."

After saying that, Yun took out the silver spear and cut off the vines of the narrator.

"Tsk...just hide and seek?" Jiang Hua stood up and asked Yun.

"What should we do next? They can't be killed now. Even if their core is destroyed, it's useless. How can we fight them?"

He fell aside and thought for a while.

"There aren't many puppeteers here. If I remember correctly, most of them should have died a few years ago. Not to mention the puppeteers who can control those tree spirits inside."

After saying that, Luo glanced at Yun.

"Yes, I think the same as you. The only people I can think of are those from the Heaven Realm."

Jiang Hua looked at the two of them suspiciously.

"Tianyu? Where is this?" Yun sighed and looked at Jiang Hua.

"I'll explain it later. What's more important now is to find where he is, not where the Heaven Realm is."

Jiang Hua touched his head helplessly.

"Well, let's go to the interior of the forest first. We can't find it here either."

Let’s talk. Jiang Hua jumped from the tree to the ground and looked at the three tree spirits in front of him.

"Suffer to death!"

Luo stood on the tree and looked at Jiang Hua's crazy appearance.

"Hehe... He really has strength."

Yun smiled.

"Okay, let's stop standing there and go down. It's not good to just stand here and watch."

Luo nodded and replied perfunctorily. "Okay, okay, I will listen to you." Then he rushed towards Jiang Hua.

"Yun, you and Jiang Hua go find the puppeteer. I'll hold them back for a while. I'll be there soon."

After saying that, he knocked down a tree spirit, but after a while he returned to his previous state.

"Don't be too arrogant..."

Then Luo stabbed him again.

"Shouting... so much nonsense."

Yun slowly jumped down and walked slowly to Jiang Hua's side.

"Let's go. Yun will take charge here for now. Let's go to the front." Jiang Hua nodded, turned around and waved to Luo. "Then we'll go first. Remember to follow."

Luo smiled.

"Hahaha... You're more capable than I thought. Even though I'm used to it, I'm still a little uncomfortable being ordered around by you."

After saying that, he knocked down a tree spirit that was about to approach Jiang Hua and Yun.

"Tsk... I didn't say you could go over there, just stay here obediently."

Jiang Hua turned around and looked at Jiang Hua worriedly, but was stopped by Yun just as he was about to speak.

"I know what you want to say. Just rest assured. Luo is still confident. Even a recovery has their weaknesses, and Luo knows this weakness well."

Then Yun put her hand over, and a bird slowly flew over and landed on Yun's shoulder.

"Go and tell the news. It's deep in the woods. Come quickly."

Jiang Hua smiled, a smile that was puzzling. "Shouting... You guys are really hard to figure out." Yun nodded slowly. "You don't need to know so much for now. I will tell you when the time comes."

Jiang Hua smiled bitterly helplessly.

"It's up to you..."

At this time, Jiang Hua was standing on the high platform and saw several small dots of red light in the woods in the distance.

"That's the outer circle, right? How could there be a red tree spirit? There shouldn't be one. And Yun can't just leave it alone. What on earth is he doing? It's really worrying."

After saying that, Jiang Hua sat on the high platform, sighed, and looked at the sky in the distance silently.

At this time, Jiang Hua and Yun slowly walked around the inner circle of the forest.

Yun slowly took off her hood and looked into the depths of the forest.

"Let's go, let's go in now and find the puppet master." Jiang Hua held the Hongmeng Zhanshi Spear and looked into the distance. "You can't get in here, there is still a part of the barrier around." After saying that, Yun stretched out his hand and broke the barrier with a little force.

"This barrier can be broken at any time, because this is the inner barrier. There is another barrier further in, but that one is not easy to break."

Jiang Hua smiled slightly.

"You really know this place well."

Yun Kai glanced at Jiang Hua who was feeling uneasy.

"This is the forbidden area I trespassed into a few years ago. Because I was young and reckless, I broke the barrier at will, which led to everything that happened now."

After Yun broke the barrier, as soon as the two stepped into the inner circle, a strange energy fluctuation was heard.

Jiang Hua hurriedly put his hands in front of him.

"This is?"

Yun glanced deep into the depths.

"Shouting... It's really troublesome. The people from the Heaven Realm still haven't let this place go. All the tree spirits in the depths have been made into puppets. This is a bit troublesome."

Then Yun took out the bow and shot at several fixed places. With a few cracking sounds, several glittering places gradually became dark.

"This is?"

Yun explained to Jiang Hua.

"This is the core of the three tree spirits just now."

Jiang Hua looked at Yun coldly for a few seconds.

"Didn't you say that the destruction of the core didn't seem to be a big deal to them?"

Yun nodded.

"The impact is not significant, but it seems that person also placed the silver thread on the core, right? A puppeteer from the Celestial Realm."

Then Yun looked into the depths.

There were also applause and bursts of laughter coming from the depths, and this laughter made people feel uncomfortable all over.

“Hahaha… As expected of the famous Yun, you can even notice this.”

Luo on the other side smiled slightly as he watched the tree spirit slowly falling down.

"It seems that the barrier and the core were destroyed when I took them just now. This is much easier, and I can still preserve the next form."

Then he slowly walked into the depths of the forest.

"What? It's been a while since we last met. Don't be so surprised. I just came here to play."

Yun sighed helplessly.

"Lin Yan is the most troublesome person among the eleven people in the Heaven Realm, and he is also the strongest one among the few remaining puppeteers."

Lin Yan smiled.

"Hehe...you still remember my name, so you dare to come here, aren't you afraid of death?"

Then Lin Yan moved his hands, and a tree spirit jumped out from behind him.

Jiang Hua rushed over and cut it in half with one sword.

"Don't use the tree spirits in the outer circle. After all, they are much easier to fight than those in the inner circle. Or are the ones in the inner circle not under complete control?"

Lin Yan touched his forehead and smiled.

"Hahaha... your insight is still so strong. You can spot even the slightest flaw."

Yun smiled, mocking Lin Yan's ignorance.

"Even if you are the strongest puppeteer, it would be difficult to fully control the tree spirits here. You are no exception, even though you are a rare genius in a century." (End of this chapter)
