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

"Brother Jiang Hua, where is Yun? Did he just leave like that?"

Jiang Hua turned his head and looked at Mo Li.

"Yeah, just left."

Mo Li stared at the sky.

"What did you say? Why on earth are you so afraid of seeing me?"

Jiang Hua put his hand on his chin and thought for a while.

"I think he's regretting it. After all, there are so many things."

Mo Li shook his head helplessly.

"I wanted to tell him about this when he carried you back unconscious four days ago. I also have some questions to ask him, and I won't pursue the matter about my brother anymore. But Yun... doesn't seem to want to listen to me."

Jiang Hua smiled slightly.

"Just rest assured. Give him some time to think about it. After all, it will be difficult for him to get over the trauma in his heart."

Mo Li looked at Jiang Hua with a puzzled look.

"Did Yun tell you that or did you think so?"

Jiang Hua thought for a while.

"Well... half of it was said by him and half of it was my guess. I just asked him and he just said that he would come to see you when he finds the right time."

Mo Li looked into the distance and nodded.

"Well, let's wait a while. I hope he comes back to me."

Jiang Hua looked into the distance and touched his head.

"I hope so. After all, he has all kinds of things going on over there."

After saying that, Jiang Hua turned around, waved his hand, and walked out of the forest. He had not walked far when Mo Li called him.

"What were you talking about just now? Are you planning to go somewhere again?"

Jiang Hua touched the back of his head helplessly.

"Hiss... Ahh... Let's go to the Suzaku Tomb."

Mo Li ran to Jiang Hua and pinched Jiang Hua's face. "Xiao Li, let go. I can't talk to you like this." Mo Li's face was full of anger.

"Do you have to go?"

Jiang Hua took Mo Li's hand away and nodded.

"I have to go. For your safety and the Hongmeng Dao Body that I want to obtain, I have to go."

Mo Li slowly put down his hand.

"Really?... I wish you safety then. Remember to take me to the other world when you come back, and don't let anything happen to you in the tomb."

Jiang Hua smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Just rest assured. Yun and I are together. Are you still afraid that something will happen to me?"

Mo Li shook his head.

"It's because you two are together that I'm worried. Both of you are so worrying. How can I be at ease if you two go to the tomb together?"

Jiang Hua narrowed his eyes and looked at Mo Li.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry, I will come safely, and Yun will too. I will also bring back the Suzaku Stone, and the only thing missing is the White Tiger Stone."

Mo Li sighed.

"I don't care about you. Just stay alive. I hope nothing will happen to you when you first enter the tomb. After all, there are many dangers."

Jiang Hua looked at Mo Li in confusion.

"You said there are many dangers in there? How did you know that?"

Mo Li waved his hand.

"My brother told me about what's inside before. It seems that there will be traps on both sides when you first enter the stone door. Don't touch them."

Jiang Hua swallowed.

"After entering the stone gate, there are mechanisms on both sides..."

"Yes, it seems to be a flame of Suzaku Zhuang, and it has its own consciousness. I felt terrified when I heard him say that."

Jiang Hua touched his chin and nodded.

"Well... that should be the Suzaku. The legendary Suzaku is a bird that takes the form of flames, so the one that just entered the stone gate should be the Suzaku."

After listening to Jiang Hua's explanation, Mo Li shook his head.

"That's not Suzaku, it's just a small clone. The real four sacred beasts are still inside the barrier. There are also a group of creatures that have lived for tens of thousands of years or even longer. I have no interest in these things, so I didn't ask any more questions."

Jiang Hua shook his head. "It's okay, it's okay. It's enough to know this much. After all, it's useful stuff."

Just after he finished speaking, Mo Li remembered something else and continued to add.

"Well... Suzaku's tomb is very big. There are not only things next to the stone door, but also many more things inside, so it's better not to touch the things on the wall."

Jiang Hua reached out and patted Mo Li on the head.

"Well...knowing this much is enough. At least I have a basic idea in my mind, and I can know what is inside. At least it is much better than knowing nothing. And I also know how to unlock the stone door, so it will be much easier to go in."

Mo Li looked at Jiang Hua, and Jiang Hua looked at Mo Li.

"Well...Xiao Li, is there any problem?"

"You've probably never been to the Suzaku Tomb. This is your first time there, right?"

Jiang Hua looked at Mo Li in confusion and nodded.

"Yes, it was indeed the first time I went in."

Mo Li put his hands on his waist and looked at Jiang Hua.

"Then how do you know how to open the stone door?"

Jiang Hua breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Mo Li was going to ask something.

"It was this morning, a while before I woke up, Jiang Hua told me in my dream that I was at the stone gate of the Suzaku Tomb. As soon as I cracked the stone gate, a Suzaku came towards me, and then I woke up."

Mo Li touched his chin.

"So you woke up because you were frightened?"

Jiang Hua thought about it for a while and nodded.

"Well... almost. You can say that, but it's not complete."

Mo Li shook his head.

"I thought you woke up because your injury had healed, but it turns out you were woken by a shock. You are such a loser."

Jiang Hua looked at Mo Li in confusion, then reached out and patted Mo Li on the head.

"You'd better forget it. After all, it's your first time seeing such a big ball of fire. You will definitely be shocked, and it's coming straight at you."

After saying this, Jiang Hua swallowed unconsciously.

Mo Li sighed.

"Alas...some people always find excuses to cover up their fear and cowardice."

After Jiang Hua finished speaking, he looked at Mo Li with a smirk on his face.

"You're really brave if you say that?"

Mo Li stretched out his hand, touched his chest, closed his eyes and looked up at the sky.

"Of course I am. I am very capable."

Jiang Hua smiled slightly.

"What about Sister Xiaoli? You can accompany me to the Suzaku Tomb. This way I will have someone to look after me. Can you protect me in there?"

After Mo Li stopped playing, he slowly put his hands down and stopped talking.

"Then...Brother Jiang Hua, can I go with you?"

Jiang Hua looked at Mo Li in shock. When Mo Li heard Jiang Hua say that they wanted to go together, the first thing he thought of was not the danger inside, but going with Jiang Hua to that hell that even Yun didn't understand.

Jiang Hua was obviously a little panicked and waved his hands hurriedly.

"Xiao Li, you...you'd better not go. Just wait here for me to come back."

Mo Li smiled bitterly and responded to Jiang Hua's answer.

"Well... I will wait here for you to come back from the Suzaku Tomb and the White Tiger Ruins, and then I will open the barrier with Yun, and then we will go to another world together."

Jiang Hua smiled and touched Mo Li's hair.

"Well, wait for me to come back, and after we finish everything, we will go to my world."

Mo Li smiled.

After saying that, Mo Li slowly walked out of the forest.

After walking outside, Mo Li reached out and touched Duoduo's head.

"Okay, let's go, Duoduo, just don't worry, I'm fine."

Duoduo shook her head and walked slowly in front. Jiang Hua clenched his fists, sighed, and then looked up at the sky silently.

"Waiting for me to come back... That's a good choice, at least it's much better than going into the tomb with me." (End of this chapter)
