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

The dark red hellhound stood on the ground, coldly watching Jiang Hua, with no intention of doing anything.

"Tch... It's better if we don't move. We're clearly outnumbered right now, and I don't have the energy to pay attention to the leader."

Jiang Hua was halfway through the attack when he was completely overwhelmed. He planted the Primordial War Spear in the ground, reached out and picked up the Black Gold Ancient Blade from the ground, and released sword energy to counterattack.

Yun, who was in the distance, seemed to have noticed quite a few things.

"Qin Feng, I feel like there's something wrong with that hellhound that came over earlier. It's been standing there without moving since then, and it can even control the movements of these hellhounds. Normally, hellhound packs act alone, but after it came, it started attacking in groups. Isn't there something wrong with that?"

Qin Feng looked at the attack of the hellhound pack he was facing alone, and didn't seem to be under much pressure. He looked at the dark red hellhound again, and it was indeed as Yun had said. He stood there without moving, but he was able to make the originally scattered group slowly gather together.

"That's true, but since its color is different, it's not impossible."

Yun watched as Jiang Hua fought bravely against the enemy and couldn't help but clench her hands.

"Tch... I can't get through yet. I can always sense that something is wrong around me. If I leave this place even for a moment, something bad might happen."

Qin Feng slowly got up and shook his head.

"It's alright, there's nothing strange about the surroundings."

As soon as Qin Feng finished speaking, the hellhounds that had died beside him stood up again, their bodies gradually emitting a dark red light, just like the one that had just arrived.

Yun was the first to notice the hellhound that pounced on Qin Feng. She quickly took out her silver spear and stabbed it in front of Qin Feng. In an instant, green blood splattered all around.

Qin Feng, sitting on the ground, was startled by the silver spear Yun extended. After regaining his senses, he looked around at the corpses that were gradually standing up.

"This is……."

Yun slowly stood up, flicked the blood off her silver spear, and looked at the "corpse" that had stood up again beside her, letting out a helpless sigh.

"What's going on? Even the wolf kings that have been stored outside for hundreds of years don't have this kind of power to revive."

Qin slowly stood up from the ground and reached out to take out his water blade.

Yun tried to pull Qin Feng to sit down, but Qin Feng insisted on standing up and fighting. Yun had no choice but to let Qin Feng stand up.

After Qin Feng stood up, he held the knife in his right hand and placed his left hand on his right shoulder, with the tip of the knife pointing forward.

"Come on, this strike is all that I can do now."

The next second, more blades appeared in front of Qin Feng. Yun swallowed hard and jumped out of Qin Feng's attack range. The dark red hellhound in the distance was shocked by the scene before it.

Qin Feng looked at the flying blade ahead and smiled slightly.

"Die!"

The next second, dozens of water blades flew towards Qin Feng, but just before they made contact, they turned into smoke and disappeared into the air.

Yun smiled as she looked at the scene before her and then looked at Qin Feng.

"That's a really underhanded trick. On the surface it's for attacking, but in reality it's just to confuse people. What a clever smokescreen."

Qin Feng shook his head and looked at Yun, who was standing there.

"Alright, stop standing there and hurry up, this smoke won't last much longer."

Yun looked ahead at Qin Feng, shook her head, and then charged in with the silver spear.

"Alright, hold on for now. I'll go find their location first, and then we'll figure out how to deal with them."

Qin Feng shook his head.

"No need for that. They all have a dark red glow, so they're easy to see in the smoke."

Yun waved from outside the smoke, then stepped into it and looked at the red glowing spot. Just as she had imagined, they were not within the hellhound's field of vision, and even if they were resurrected, they would not be able to move.

Yun smiled slightly, held the silver spear horizontally, and then killed them one by one before slowly walking out of the smoke.

Qin Feng watched as Yun slowly walked out, then slowly released his grip. The smoke in front of him gradually dissipated, revealing the corpse that had been hidden within it. Yun nodded to Qin Feng after emerging.

"Yes, just as we thought. That's exactly right. Although it's a resurrection, the power to control it doesn't reside in the original body, but rather in the hellhound. And since it's not within sight, it's just a living statue."

After listening, Qin Feng turned around and waved to Jiang Hua, who was exhausted.

"Jiang Hua, come over here first and find a solution."

Upon hearing Qin Feng say that he had found a solution, Jiang Hua became incredibly energetic, wielding the Black Gold Ancient Blade to scare away the hellhound attacking him, and retreated backward.

At this moment, the hellhound also reacted, seemingly knowing what Qin Feng was about to do next. It then barked at the sky, and several hellhounds rushed towards the three of them.

Jiang Hua landed smoothly on the ground and looked at the hellhound running towards him. Just as he was about to get up, he heard a strange sound beside him. As a reaction, Jiang Hua instinctively retreated backward.

The next second, Yun's silver spear flew out and crashed heavily to the ground. Before Jiang Hua could even sigh as he watched the silver spear fly past, Yun descended from the sky and crushed the head of a hellhound with one foot.

"I'm right here, do you still want to rush over? Aren't you being a little too naive?"

Jiang Hua stood up from the ground and smiled slightly.

"As expected of Yun, she's the most reliable person in times like this."

Yun stood beside her silver spear, her right hand gripping the shaft, her eyes fixed firmly on the packs of hellhounds before her.

Qin Feng patted Jiang Hua on the shoulder.

"Jiang Hua, right? Next, Yun and I will come back and hold off the other hellhounds. You just need to take care of the one in the middle that's in control."

Jiang Hua paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Basically, what I mean is, you guys handle the trash on the sides, I'll take care of the main body in the middle."

Qin Feng nodded.

"That's pretty much the gist of it. Without a leader, they're basically just a bunch of useless people. Do you think they have much to think about?"

The hellhounds in front of them could no longer restrain themselves. Some broke free from the dark red hellhounds' control, while others began to go berserk.

Yun stood in front, deep in thought as she watched the crazed hellhounds.

"This...it seems that not all of them are obedient; there are still some who resist."

Qin Feng and Jiang Hua finished their conversation. Qin Feng took out his gun, and Jiang Hua put away his Black Gold Ancient Blade and took out his familiar Primordial War Spear. The two slowly walked to Yun's side.

"How's it going? Any other discoveries?"

Yun nodded.

"You mean this? I feel like they don't entirely want to hear the ideas about cursing hellhounds; there's quite a bit of resistance."

Jiang Hua nodded as well.

"Yes, I felt that too. When we were playing against them just now, quite a few died because of their resistance, but after they died, they would stand up again with a red glow, as if they were being manipulated again."

Qin Feng nodded.

"That's right. Within his field of vision, all the hellhounds will be under his control. The living can resist, and the dead can be resurrected, but things might be different after they die."

Jiang Hua shook his head.

"No, you can be resurrected after death, but it's just very cumbersome. It's probably a replica left on the body. Although the soul is gone, the physical wounds remain."

Yun smiled.

"Qin Feng, stop chatting and let's begin. You go left, I'll go right, and we'll leave everything in front of us to Jiang Hua."

Before Qin Feng could even reply, the hellhounds around them attacked the three of them. (End of Chapter)
