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

"Did we really just come to this room?"

Jiang Hua turned her head and asked Qin Feng and Yun beside her, somewhat uncertainly.

“There are still traces of our water flowing down there, it must be here.”

Yun nodded and said affirmatively.

Hearing Yun say that, Jiang Hua also turned his head and glanced at the floor.

Just as Yun had said, there were water droplets on the floor.

But if this room really is the room they just visited, then why have these words changed, yet they can't figure out why?

At this moment, Jiang Hua also noticed that the skeleton in the distance had turned a dark yellow color.

"It might be the lighting!"

Jiang Hua immediately looked towards the center.

Jiang Hua immediately took off her clothes, trying to cover up the reflection in the middle.

Seeing this, Qin Feng and Yun, who were standing next to Jiang Hua, also took off their outermost layer of clothing to cover up the reflection in the middle.

Now they finally understood exactly how these paintings changed.

The paintings reverted to depicting a group of women, but some, because the light wasn't completely blocked, still appeared as a group of men.

"It seems there's an exit nearby, waiting for us."

Jiang Hua stroked his chin and said.

However, after thinking for a while, Jiang Hua couldn't help but feel dejected, because Qin Feng's feet were no longer allowing them to move forward and enter the water.

"Now we roughly know where the exit is. Based on the refraction of light, I can roughly determine that our exit is to our southeast, and it's very likely less than a hundred meters away. But that hundred meters..."

Jiang Hua stopped there, because all three of them knew how difficult that 100-meter stretch was for Qin Feng.

Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh as he thought of this, and then, as if steeling his resolve, he raised his head and accepted it firmly.

"Why don't you all leave first and leave me here? Once my wounds heal, I'll try to swim out!"

Qin Feng felt a sense of resolute determination, like a warrior cutting off his own arm.

“I didn’t say you were supposed to stay here.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hua rolled her eyes in disdain and continued to take out pills from her pocket.

Then, in front of Qin Feng and Yun, Jiang Hua smashed the pill into powder. Immediately afterwards, she tore off a piece of cloth from her body, placed the pill on it, and tied it around Tai Ke's ankle.

"There shouldn't be any problems now. You all need to recover your strength!"

Jiang Hua stopped talking and found a place to rest. They had been searching for an exit underwater, which had taken a lot of their energy.

"Do you think there might be an exit here? After all, the people who came here to draw these things in the first place couldn't have left through this exit, right? And I always feel that this lake mouth isn't the real exit."

Qin Feng glanced at the lake entrance and asked Jiang Hua.

“I think so too, but here’s the problem. I’ve been looking for a long time and I can’t find another exit. I suspect that the people here might have been thrown into the water and eaten.”

Jiang Hua shook his head and said with a hint of helplessness.

"In that case, we still have to get out of here, but the secrets here are a bit unclear."

Qin Feng said with a hint of regret, and Jiang Hua sighed as she listened. Didn't Jiang Hua feel it was a pity that this secret hadn't been figured out?

However, they felt there was nothing of real value here, no treasure at all.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much to regret, so they started thinking about how to leave.

"We must act quickly once we enter the water, as these pills and powders can only mask our presence for a short time, since they will easily dissolve in the water."

Jiang Hua spoke seriously to Qin Feng, who was standing in front of him. Qin Feng and Yun, who were beside him, nodded immediately upon hearing Jiang Hua's words, indicating that they understood. "Don't worry, we know. With my current strength, swimming across shouldn't be a problem!"

Qin Feng clenched his fist and said confidently.

Jiang Hua nodded in agreement, but she wasn't entirely at ease with him.

He arrived at the center of the lake once again, glanced at the surroundings, and roughly determined the obstacles around him.

"I've roughly determined the location; just follow me when the time comes."

As Jiang Hua spoke, he climbed up again.

Twenty minutes later, the bleeding from Qin Feng's foot finally stopped.

"It's about time we left. Let's check if we've left anything behind."

Jiang Hua picked up the dagger again and reminded Qin Feng and Yun.

Qin Feng and Yun repacked their luggage and, like Jiang Hua, took up their weapons.

After all, these piranhas were indeed a problem, so Jiang Hua entered the water and began to swim.

Immediately afterward, the piranhas noticed Jiang Hua's movements and began to swim towards him. However, once they got close to Jiang Hua and smelled his scent, they quietly left.

However, these piranhas were still somewhat unwilling to give up despite the delicious food, and they lingered around Jiang Hua, unwilling to leave.

At this moment, Qin Feng and the other two also went into the water. As soon as Qin Feng entered the water, the smell of blood spread immediately.

The piranha immediately turned its head to look at the location where Qin Feng and Yun were, and as they had said before, Qin Feng was walking behind them.

Yun followed behind Jiang Hua, so after a while, she quickened her pace to keep up with Jiang Hua.

Jiang Hua was slashing at the oncoming piranhas, while Yun Ze was responsible for finishing them off.

With the help of Jiang Hua and Yun, Qin Feng found things much easier.

However, this hundred meters was still a bit difficult for Qin Feng, who was injured. After swimming for a while, Qin Feng began to feel that his legs were losing strength.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Hua quickly returned to Qin Feng's side, but as she did so, piranhas charged directly at her.

And that's when they bumped into the dagger next to them.

Blood splattered on Qin Feng's body, which drove the piranhas even crazier.

They charged directly at Qin Feng in groups.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Hua quickly pulled Qin Feng toward their destination.

Yun, who was standing next to him, was not teased either.

She knew that staying here any longer would only cause trouble for Jiang Hua and Qin Feng.

She needed to leave quickly while the piranhas weren't paying attention to her.

As the destination gets closer.

Yun also saw the light getting brighter and brighter.

Jiang Hua and Qin Feng's situation was not so smooth. Jiang Hua was chopping at the piranhas while pulling Qin Feng along.

It felt like it would take four hands to recover from this busyness.

Yun gritted her teeth, finally took out her weapon, and cut a gash on her finger.

Fresh blood flowed freely, and the freshness of the blood successfully piqued the interest of these piranhas.

This time, they turned and headed towards Yun. (End of Chapter)
