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

Jiang Hua shook his head helplessly as he looked at their timid appearance.

"Although that's what they say, I'm not sure if it's really as I see it, but I'm sure it's highly likely to be as I see it. Otherwise, how could there be so few bones around it, and the coffin just sitting in the middle of the water? I can't think of anything other than it being bait."

Jiang Hua frowned as he looked at the coffin and said.

"But we don't have anywhere to go right now. Besides the walls, the only thing we can see is this area in the middle of the water. But where might the ventilation vent you mentioned be? I looked around earlier, and there's nowhere to go."

Qin Feng sighed and stepped forward to ask Jiang Hua.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hua couldn't help but frown as well.

Because his observations, just as Qin Feng had said, indeed showed him that there was nowhere to leave this place.

The only way out now is the path they came in through, but they know how dangerous that path is.

"Don't worry, we'll find it eventually. After all, the vent is right here. Are they going to force us to our deaths?"

As Jiang Hua spoke, she found a seat and sat down.

"I need to recover my strength. If you want to find it, you can go find it yourselves. I've been busy all day, and if I don't rest properly, I won't have the energy to continue. You guys keep going!"

As Jiang Hua spoke, she clenched her fist and cheered Qin Feng and Yun on.

Qin Feng and Yun couldn't help but twitch their lips at Jiang Hua's sudden break, completely surprised that Jiang Hua was this kind of person.

So they all gave Jiang Hua a look of disdain without prior arrangement.

"Why are you all complaining about me? I've worked so hard all day, if I don't get a proper rest, how will I have the energy to keep working later? Do you really think I'm a god who doesn't need to rest?"

Jiang Hua rolled her eyes in response to their disdain, and they found her words quite reasonable.

He nodded to indicate that he understood, and then silently followed Jiang Hua's example and went to the middle of the water.

Since there were no piranhas here, Qin Feng boldly stepped into the water and saw what Jiang Hua had just described.

Therefore, he also believed what Jiang Hua had said before, that the water had a certain cycle.

The water might disappear to another place after a while, but they didn't know how long it would take for it to disappear, so Qin Feng continued to search for the drain below.

However, after searching for a while, Qin Feng couldn't find anything and silently floated up.

Yun, standing beside Qin Feng, saw his disappointed expression and knew that he hadn't found anything down there. So she sighed and looked at Qin Feng with some disappointment.

“I think our target shouldn’t be in the water, but somewhere else. If it were that simple, the tomb raiders would have known long ago. Why would they wait for us to find it now?”

Qin Feng touched his chin and expressed his thoughts, because what he said made a lot of sense.

So they started another task: digging in the sand.

Jiang Hua, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but wonder about their sudden strange behavior, and eventually walked over to them.

What are you two doing?

Qin Feng and Yun looked up a little embarrassed at the two feet that suddenly appeared in front of them. They now realized that their behavior was a bit silly.

"If we think that the water isn't the right place to look, then we should try a different spot. So we thought of the sand here and asked if it really is like a beach, where you can't dig to the bottom!"

As Qin Feng spoke, he got even more excited and shoveled down, but instead of shoveling out a pile of sand as expected, he hit something metallic, and a metallic clanging sound rang out.

Qin Feng and Yun's eyes widened immediately, and they looked down.

But now there's still sand covering it, so they can't see anything.

So Qin Feng shoveled a couple more times. The sound of the metal sliding didn't sound so harsh to them anymore; instead, it seemed like a hopeful sound was rising. As the shape of the metal became clearer, Jiang Hua realized that the metal object was actually a clock.

This thing is neither too big nor too small, just about half the size of a person.

Jiang Hua couldn't help but feel puzzled as he looked at the object.

Just as Jiang Hua was wondering, Qin Feng, wearing gloves, immediately picked up the object.

But after trying for a long time, I still couldn't pick it up.

Seeing this, Jiang Hua also helped Qin Feng, and the two of them worked together to lift the object up.

Then the water in front of them slowly receded within their visible range.

"Did we accidentally pull the plug on the bathtub?"

Looking at the receding water level, Yun couldn't help but twitch slightly, and said with a hint of doubt, "I'm not sure."

Although puzzled, the water level was indeed slowly dropping within the area they could see.

"Holy crap, this is even more amazing than winning the lottery!"

Qin Feng jumped up excitedly and hugged Jiang Hua tightly.

Seeing Qin Feng's excited expression, Jiang Hua couldn't help but grin.

With so much sand and so many spots, Qin Feng just happened to shovel right here; it's like winning the lottery!

But before Kaixin could hold out for long, they saw the armored figures that had been next to them.

These suits of armor were empty, yet they still had a shape as they sat there.

These strange behaviors stunned Jiang Hua, Qin Feng, and the other two, who quickly retreated and stared at the armor in front of them.

As if afraid that the armored figures might suddenly stand up and swing their weapons at them, Jiang Hua held his weapon in his hand and cautiously stepped forward. He first touched the armored figures, and then quickly stepped back, but the armored figures did not react at all.

Jiang Hua stepped forward and took a look inside. He found that there was indeed something inside, but there were shelves supporting the view, making it difficult for them to see clearly from the outside.

"There's another rope here!"

He picked up a rope and shouted loudly at Jiang Hua in the distance.

Jiang Hua suddenly turned his head to look at the rope in Yun's hand, and thought to himself that something was wrong.

But just as Jiang Hua was about to call out to Yun, Yun accidentally fell, and the rope in her hand was pulled off by Yun's effort.

The armor in front of them stood up silently as if a switch had been flipped, and the weapons in their hands rusted at that moment.

It suddenly appeared very bright under the light.

This sudden action startled Qin Feng and Yun, who didn't know what to do. Jiang Hua quickly retreated and came to Qin Feng and Yun's side.

There are now three suits of armor. If the three of them cooperate successfully, each of them should have no problem taking on one of them.

Because he was wearing armor, he only had one hand and one leg, so only half of his body was moving, which made him look quite pathetic.

Therefore, Jiang Hua felt that this armor, which only had half a body, could be left to Yun to deal with.

However, the key point is that Qin Feng's leg is injured, so his combat strength is naturally not as great as before. This means that Jiang Hua needs to remove her armor as soon as possible to help them. (End of Chapter)
