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

Qin Feng walked over and waved to Jiang Hua.

"There's definitely no exit yet, because there are many more passages ahead, so there can't be only one. As we move forward, the other stone walls will also move, thus forming the next passage."

Jiang Hua listened intently to Qin Feng's explanation while touching the aba, and nodded when Qin Feng finished speaking.

"Hmm...that seems to make sense, but why are you so sure that the stone wall will move as you think?"

Yun nodded.

"He wasn't sure if the stone wall would move in the direction Qin Feng wanted. It was a gamble, but worth a try."

Jiang Hua looked at Yun with a puzzled expression.

"So... neither of them knows if this method will work, right?"

Qin Feng glanced at Yun and the other two, who smiled at each other, and then nodded to Jiang Hua.

"I definitely don't know if it will succeed. As I said, this is a blockage, so I don't know what to do. For now, I'll just let nature take its course and move forward. Once we get there, we'll figure out another way."

Jiang Hua helplessly scratched his head.

"Ugh... speechless. I thought you knew how to get there."

Qin Feng patted Jiang Hua on the shoulder.

"It's alright, it'll work itself out. We'll figure out a way once we get there." Jiang Hua looked up at Qin Feng, shook his head helplessly, and continued walking forward. Soon, the three of them arrived at the front.

Yun stepped forward, took out her silver spear, and tapped the wall in front of her. There was a slight energy fluctuation.

"No, there's no way to destroy it either; there will still be some energy fluctuations."

Jiang Hua stepped forward and touched it, then stepped back and sighed helplessly.

"Ugh... This is so troublesome, we have to wait here."

Just as Jiang Hua was about to go back the way they came, he suddenly realized that the road behind them had been blocked. Jiang Hua pointed to the stone wall in front of him.

"We just came from here, right...?"

Qin Feng turned around and looked at the stone wall in front of Jiang Hua.

"It did come from over there, but it's moving a bit fast. At this speed, the one in front of us should be coming soon too."

Yun looked at the walls that were gradually moving around her and patted Qin Feng next to her.

"There's an exit here too. Should we wait here or go through the side?" Qin Feng stroked his chin, thinking for a moment.

"Hmm... let's wait a bit longer. I feel that going straight is faster than taking the side road, since the exit is right in front of us."

Jiang Hua waved her arm and looked at Qin Feng.

"How...how do you know the direction? The whole area is surrounded, you shouldn't have any way to determine the direction."

Qin Feng shook his head and pointed to the wall behind him.

"The wall where you and Yun were sitting just now is the one that faced the passage when we came here. So the place we need to go, which is the exit, is on the other side of that wall."

Jiang Hua nodded in agreement with Qin Feng's statement.

"Good idea. In this kind of environment, you can still figure out where the exit is and where the entrance is."

Qin Feng smiled.

"The most important thing in a tomb is its orientation, and if you go there often, you shouldn't be unaware of this."

Jiang Hua shook his head.

"I've never seen such a deep tomb."

As the two chatted, the stone door leading to the exit began to move slowly. Yun, standing to the side, heard sounds coming from inside, which seemed to be hellhounds.

Yun called out to the two of them and took out her silver spear to look inside.

"Stop chatting, there seem to be hellhounds inside... and quite a few of them."

Jiang Hua took out the Primordial War Spear from the necklace and shook his neck.

"You're here already? I was just wondering what to do." Jiang Hua pushed Qin Feng back a couple of steps.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Hua shook his head.

"Continue with what you're doing. Observe the surroundings to make sure this is the place, otherwise the stone door might close after we kill all the hellhounds."

Qin Feng shook his head, took out his knife, and walked forward.

"There's no need for that. Do you really need to carry the burden for something this simple? If we can't finish it, we can just wait a bit."

Yun, holding the silver spear in front, would occasionally glance back at the two of them.

"Alright, stop making a fuss. We're facing a lot of hellhounds. I can feel packs of them charging in from the inside."

Qin Feng smiled.

"It seems I guessed right, this is the exit, and we'll go deeper into the tomb from here."

Jiang Hua looked at Qin Feng's smiling face and smiled slightly in return.

"It seems your method is correct, but not entirely correct."

"Oh? You mean?"

Jiang Hua pointed to the group of hellhounds behind the stone wall in front of him.

"Those things inside, it would be even better if we could jump over them, this doesn't feel like a battle at all now."

Yun stood in front, struck a pose, and smiled slightly at Qin Feng and Jiang Hua.

"He was just saying he'd help Qin Fen cover for him, but now he's saying he doesn't want to fight anymore. He changes his tune pretty quickly."

Jiang Hua picked up the Primordial War Spear and tapped it on the ground, then assumed a fighting stance and looked at what was in front of him.

"Alright, this is not the time for jokes. Let's start the hunt, hunt down these stumbling blocks in our path."

Qin Feng took out his knife, looked at Jiang Hua who was standing beside him with a confident expression, and said softly.

"You seem quite confident, young man."

Jiang Hua looked up at Qin Feng and nodded.

"There is some truth to it, after all, I am Jiang Hua."

As Yun listened to the sounds from inside gradually approaching and becoming more scattered, she raised her hand to signal to the two of them.

"No, it seems like they're not targeting us, but rather there's some internal strife."

The two were stunned for a moment, and then the stone wall slowly moved over, revealing the original appearance inside.

Inside, a pack of hellhounds fled in a frenzy, all wanting to escape the place.

Jiang Hua and his two companions, armed with weapons, walked over the stone wall and entered the world inside.

After Jiang Hua went inside, he looked up and around. Several hellhounds were not paying attention to the situation, and some of them, wanting to escape, rushed towards Jiang Hua.

As Yun approached Jiang Hua, she picked up the silver spear and instantly killed the fleeing hellhound.

Yun lowered her head and glanced at the hellhound.

"This situation doesn't seem right at all. It's clearly their territory, yet they're running for their lives."

Jiang Hua stood there, glanced at the fallen hellhound, and sighed helplessly.

Qin Feng slowly walked forward.

"Stop playing around, I feel like Suzaku should be coming soon, there's a lot of energy fluctuation around here."

Yun nodded and looked at Qin Feng in front of her.

"You noticed it too?"

"Yes, after all, this is no small matter. The fluctuations are different from those on the stone wall; this one is clearly stronger, and only Suzaku could probably release such fluctuations." (End of Chapter)
