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

Jiang Hua's smile grew even more excited.

"Just as I thought, walls with energy cannot be broken, but others can be broken."

Qin Feng scratched his head and looked at Jiang Hua.

"What you said is as good as nothing at all; it's utter nonsense."

Jiang Hua reached out and retrieved the Primordial Chaos War Spear, then spun it around and slammed it heavily onto the ground.

"Now that the method is so clear, let's not stand still, let's smash it all."

Yun took out a silver spear from the necklace and walked towards the wall that Jiang Hua had smashed. She then looked at the wall in front of her and knocked on it twice.

"There's... no way to confirm that."

Jiang Hua began to break through the wall beside him.

Qin Feng walked to Yun's side, took out his knife and tapped it twice, then said to Yun.

"The next place to put it is unbreakable; there will be a rebound."

Yun also tried Qin Feng's method, picking up the silver spear and tapping it against the wall twice, and there was indeed a slight bounce.

"Oh, that's a good method."

Then, pressing down on the wall one by one, they suddenly discovered a scratch on the wall that was exactly the same as the one Jiang Hua had scratched, but this was a straight road without any corners.

After Qin Feng opened a section of the wall and saw that Yun was not making any noise, he went over there.

"What's wrong? Did you deliberately try to find out?"

Yun raised her head and looked at Qin Feng.

"I guess so, this scratch... and doesn't this wall look a bit strange?"

Qin Feng squatted down and looked at the scratches on the wall, his brows furrowed.

"How come the scratches are here? They should only be around the corner, and we've never been here before."

Yun nodded.

"Yes, that's what I was thinking too. We've never been here before, but there are scratches that Jiang Hua made to find our way."

The two squatted on the ground and thought for a long time.

Jiang Hua fought his way over from the side, walked to the two of them, and wiped his sweat.

"What's wrong? Why are you all squatting here?"

Qin Feng looked up at Jiang Hua.

"You've come at the right time. I'll go find you later. Come and take a look at the scratches on this wall."

"Speak," Qin Feng said, pointing to the wall.

Jiang Hua walked over in confusion and looked in the direction Qin Feng pointed. Sure enough, there were scratches she had left behind.

Then Jiang Hua stood up and looked around.

"This... is indeed a scratch I left, but I just arrived here, and this isn't a corner."

Yun slowly stood up from the ground.

“We’ve been thinking about this too. What exactly happened to this scratch? If you didn’t do it, then who did?”

Jiang Hua thought for a while before receiving the call.

"So, there are other people around here, right?"

Qin Feng shook his head.

"That's impossible. No matter how I sense it, there are only the three of us around here. The others are hellhounds and monsters from the tomb."

Yun walked to the front.

"Could it be that those few people are still alive?"

Qin Feng shook his head, denying Yun's point of view.

"Impossible. If there were any, I would be able to sense them, but I haven't sensed any living people nearby, so it's just the few of us. If we rule out that, it means that the indestructible walls here will move on their own."

Jiang Hua nodded.

"It's not impossible for the wall itself to have capabilities, so what you said isn't entirely unreasonable."

After saying that, Jiang Hua looked at Yun and then at Qin Feng.

"So the method is clear once again. That is to say, demolish all the walls that can be demolished now, and what's left are the walls that cannot be destroyed. We'll know whether they can be moved then."

Yun stood up and brushed the mud off her body.

"It seems this is the only way."

Qin Feng nodded as well.

"Is there no other way? This is the only way to break it open, even though it's incredibly cumbersome." "If there were an easier way, who would use this method?"

Qin Feng smiled.

"That's right, you're absolutely right."

After saying this, the three of them split up to see what they were doing and what they were doing: damaging the wall.

After a long while, the three of them had destroyed most of the walls they could, and then they gathered together.

Jiang Hua sat on the ground, sweating profusely and panting heavily.

"Wow, there are so many walls here. The three of us have been fighting for so long and there are still so many we haven't finished."

Yun sat on the ground, not wanting to speak.

Qin Feng stood aside, looking at the remaining walls that couldn't be demolished, and fell into deep thought.

"How can there be so many unbreakable ones? There are way too many layers."

Jiang Hua looked at Qin Feng, who was standing there.

"Aren't you tired? You can still stand there and talk while we almost died here."

Yun waved and patted Jiang Hua.

"Don't put it so harshly. The wall is easy to destroy, but if there are several destroyable walls in a row with an indestructible one in between, the bounces will be devastating. I'm speechless."

Jiang Hua patted Yun on the shoulder.

"Me too, I mostly get injured from the rebound. It's really painful when you use too much force and it hits you back, and your whole body feels numb."

Qin Feng stood there ignoring the two people on the ground, watching as the remaining wall in front of him began to slowly move.

"This is..…."

Soon, the walls in front of him formed a passageway, and Qin Feng smiled slightly.

"it is as expected."

Hearing Qin Feng's muttered laughter, Jiang Hua asked curiously.

"This wall is movable, but the intervals between moves are very long, seemingly according to a pre-arranged schedule. The time between two moves is almost exactly the time it takes us to reach the next location."

Jiang Hua stood up, looked at the wall in front of him, and touched his chin after a period of deep consideration.

"In other words, when we reach the next corner, he just happens to move, and then they just start moving too. So if we follow this method, we might never be able to get out."

Qin Feng nodded and gave Jiang Hua a thumbs up.

"Yes, they understand very quickly, so what we need to do next is..."

"Wait here, wait for them to move, and then wait until they reveal the exit before we go over, right?"

Before Qin Feng could finish speaking, Jiang Hua directly expressed her own thoughts.

Qin Feng reached out his hand, looked at Jiang Hua, and nodded.

Yun slowly got up from the ground, and the wall she was leaning against began to move gradually.

Yun turned her head and glanced at the wall.

"It's started, it's started moving. According to what you've said, we should start waiting now."

Jiang Hua nodded.

"Yes, but when that passage will appear is still a question."

Yun waved listlessly.

"It's okay, what's the rush? Even if you are, there's nothing you can do."

Jiang Hua sat on the ground, resting her chin on her hand and looking ahead.

"Sigh, I was hoping to find the Vermilion Bird Stone as soon as possible and go back, but I never expected to get trapped in a small maze."

Qin Feng shook his head, picked up the knife, and walked to Jiang Hua's side.

"I can only say that the timing was wrong. If we had come earlier, we might not have had this much trouble, but we never expected that Suzaku would awaken at this time."

Jiang Hua sighed, expressing her helplessness.

"I was in a good mood at first, but as soon as I entered, I encountered three dead people, and then I got trapped in this maze. Sigh..."

Yun looked at what was in front of her, and as the wall moved, it gradually formed a passage that could be walked through. Yun smiled slightly at the two of them.

"Alright, it's time to go. We've exited the passage."

Jiang Hua stood up from the ground, patted the dirt off his body, and stretched.

"Hmm... we should go, but this passage doesn't seem to lead to an exit."

Jiang Hua walked to the front of the passage and looked into its depths. (End of Chapter)
