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

Mo Li was outside watching Duoduo walk away. Jiang Hua was still in a daze in the woods, so he shouted from outside.

"Brother Jiang Hua? Are you going to leave or not?"

Jiang Hua suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Mo Li, who was smiling behind him. His mood also improved a lot.

"I'm coming, I was dazed for a while just now."

Mo Li shook his head.

"Brother Jiang Hua, please get me something to eat. I'm a little hungry. I haven't had a good meal these past few days."

Jiang Hua looked at Mo Li in confusion. "Ah...are you all taking care of me?" Mo Li nodded.

"Yeah, what do you think I was doing that caused me to not be able to eat well?"

Jiang Hua touched his head helplessly.

"Ah Yue... I'm just unconscious, so I shouldn't have trouble eating, right? And there's nothing to take care of when you're unconscious, so I still have a lot of time to cook, right?"

Mo Li shook his head.

"Who knows who it is? He was clearly unconscious but he kept calling my name in his dreams, and he kept moving around every day."

After listening to this, Jiang Hua lowered his head and touched the back of his head helplessly.

"Ah...did I ever do this? I didn't even know it."

Mo Li looked at the puzzled Jiang Hua and nodded.

"How could you possibly know when you were unconscious, idiot."

Jiang Hua thought about his dream in the morning again, and it didn't seem to be related to Mo Li.

"Whatever, but why were you just standing there watching that?"

Mo Li shook his head.

"Let me think about it... maybe I prefer you calling me by my name."

Jiang Hua frowned and looked at Mo Li.

"Eh...I don't think you'd get annoyed when I called you normally, so how could you be listening to me when I was unconscious?"

Mo Li glanced at Jiang Hua and continued walking forward. "It's none of your business. I won't tell you the reason." Jiang Hua sighed helplessly.

"Forget it then. I won't ask. I'm not interested in why it is."

After saying that, Jiang Hua looked at the bushes in the outer circle. A few of them moved, and Jiang Hua quickly noticed another rabbit.

Jiang Hua slowly reversed his pace and looked at the bushes in the distance.

“Are there often rabbits here?”

Mo Li turned his head and nodded.

"Well, there are a lot of rabbits here recently."

Jiang Hua smiled slightly.

"Rabbit is so nice, it's like today's lunch just came out and didn't go."

After saying that, Jiang Hua rushed into the bushes and caught the rabbit.

Mo Li called Duoduo and then watched Jiang Hua working hard to catch the rabbit outside.

After a long while, Jiang Hua came out from the bushes.

"Huh... I almost died catching these rabbits." Mo Li shook his head and pointed at Duoduo next to him. "You haven't caught as much as Duoduo."

Jiang Hua looked at Duoduo's side and then at what he had in his hand.

"That's good. That's ten rabbits in total. We can catch them both at noon and at night.

Mo Li also nodded.

"That's about it. Let's go back and eat the rabbit. We haven't had a good meal in a few days. We need to eat more today."

Jiang Hua nodded.

"Well, I'll let you eat more and replenish yourself. This is my compensation for taking care of me these past few days."

Mo Li nodded.

"That's pretty much it."

After that, the two of them walked towards home chatting and laughing.

Yun in the distance was standing on a tree looking at Jiang Hua.

"Jiang Hua... I hope you don't betray my trust, otherwise you might die miserably."

After saying that, he crushed the tree trunk next to him.

Then he walked towards the direction of the "Royal Palace".

Jiang Hua and the other person slowly returned home. Jiang Hua put the rabbit down, killed it, cleaned it up a little, and then started roasting it.

Mo Li continued to lie on Duoduo's body and look into the distance, looking at the forest in the distance.

After Jiang Hua finished setting up the shelf, he slowly walked to Mo Li's side.

"What have you been looking at? There doesn't seem to be anything over there, right?"

Mo Li nodded.

"Yeah, there really is nothing. Since there is nothing to do, I often look here and there."

Jiang Hua also sat on the ground and looked into the distance.

"Well...it seems there is nothing else." After a long while, Jiang Hua stood up, picked up the roasted rabbit head and handed it to Mo Li.

"Yes, it's ready. It's my compensation for not eating well these past few days."

Mo Li took the roasted rabbit with a smile.

"That's pretty much it."

Jiang Hua smiled slightly.

"This is the right thing to do."

The two of them sat outside talking and laughing until evening slowly passed.

Jiang Hua stood up and stretched.

"I feel like dinner is unnecessary."

Mo Li also nodded.

"It's really not necessary. We've been eating since noon."

Mo Li stood up slowly.

"Let's go and sleep. You still have to go to the Suzaku Tomb tomorrow. It would be bad to waste your time any longer."

Jiang Hua responded softly.

"Well... let's go back. Get up early tomorrow to find Yun in the forest, and then go to the Suzaku Tomb."

"Well, let's go."

After saying that, the two of them slowly walked into the house.

"It's time to go to bed. I got up early today, so it would be better to go to bed early."

Mo Li smiled slightly.

"You haven't slept well yet, I am the one who hasn't slept well."

Jiang Hua smiled and looked at Mo Li.

"Hahaha... Okay, okay, go to sleep. Have a good sleep today."

"Okay, okay, I won't make trouble with you anymore. You've kept me awake for several days."

Mo Li slowly lay down on the other bed and glanced at Jiang Hua.

the next day.

Jiang Hua got up very early and quickly arrived at the place where he had agreed to meet Yun.

Yun had been waiting for a while. Seeing Jiang Hua coming over, Yun slowly stood up.

"Are you here? Then let's go. Let's get going now."

Jiang Hua patted his chest.

"Let's go, go early and come back early."

Yun smiled slightly after listening to it.

"That's fine, but we don't know how long we'll have to stay in there. Jiang Hua has been in the Azure Dragon Tomb for a month, so we may not be able to get out soon."

Jiang Hua looked at his hands and squeezed them hard.

"We should just get out as soon as possible. It's said that the Tomb of the Vermillion Bird is much easier to find than the Tomb of the Azure Dragon."

Yun nodded.

"It may be the same as the Azure Dragon Tomb, or it may be faster. Anyway, we can just leave after we find the Suzaku Stone."

Jiang Hua nodded.

"Of course. I have no interest in the things inside."

Yun looked at the sky and then looked at Jiang Hua.

"It's almost time, get ready to go."

Jiang Hua looked in the direction of his home and waved.

"I'm leaving today and I haven't said goodbye yet. Even though I said goodbye yesterday, it's still a bit of a pity."

After saying that, Jiang Hua lowered his head and sighed.

Yun had already walked a long way, and turned around to see Jiang Hua still standing there coldly, so she turned back to take a look.

"Jiang Hua, let's go, what are you doing there?"

Jiang Hua came back to his senses, waved to Yun, and then ran forward.

"I'm coming."

He walked to Yun, touched his head helplessly, and looked into the distance.

"I was in a daze for a while just now. I felt a little bad about leaving like this without saying goodbye."

Yun sighed and patted Jiang Hua on the shoulder.

"It's okay. Going early now is also to be able to come back early."

Jiang Hua nodded.

"That's the case too. Never mind. Let's go."

Yun shook her head, then followed Jiang Hua and slowly walked away. (End of this chapter)
