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

Let's deal with one of them first!

Jiang Hua thought for a moment, then looked at Qin Feng and Yun in front of him and said that Qin Feng and Yun were still frightened by the armor's movement just now.

Now that Jiang Hua had said this, they slowly realized what was happening, nodded to show that they understood, and followed Jiang Hua's example, taking out their weapons and aiming them at the armored figures in front of them.

These armored figures move very slowly.

Just when they thought these armored figures weren't very strong, the armored figures suddenly increased their speed and swung their weapons directly at Jiang Hua and Qin Feng.

It was another sound of metal clashing; Jiang Hua's hands went numb from the force of the impact.

He quickly retreated, carefully observing the armor in front of him, trying to find their weaknesses.

However, after these armors were cut, nothing changed.

It was like hitting a rock; apart from some minor scratches, nothing else could be seen. These ineffective attacks left Jiang Hua and Qin Feng somewhat disappointed.

They were a little tired at first, but Jiang Hua still patted Qin Feng on the shoulder in the end.

"I've found their weakness. You all step back."

After Jiang Hua finished speaking, he directly confronted Qin Feng and Yun.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Hua charged towards the three armored figures, brandishing his weapon.

Then, right in front of Qin Feng and Yun, the armor shattered into pieces.

This sudden change caught Qin Feng and Yun off guard.

They were just struggling, how could all the armor suddenly turn into pieces? They were completely dumbfounded.

He stood there blankly in the distance, staring at Jiang Hua in front of him.

"What on earth happened? How did it suddenly turn out like this? I'm a little slow on the uptake."

Qin Feng rubbed his eyes and looked at Jiang Hua in front of him.

Seeing Qin Feng and the two of them looking completely bewildered, Jiang Hua couldn't help but chuckle.

"I just noticed that their armor was tied up with ropes, so I just cut the ropes off them. If you don't believe me, come and see if their armor is tied up with ropes."

Qin Feng and Yun, upon hearing Jiang Hua's words, eagerly approached the vicinity of the armor.

Just as Jiang Hua had said, in addition to the armor, they also discovered that the edges of the armor were tied with ropes.

These ropes are also important for maintaining the shape of these suits of armor.

"You're amazing! You managed to sneak up on this weakness just now. We were just thinking about how to defeat these armors. We really need to stick with you."

Qin Feng looked at Jiang Hua with excitement and couldn't help but give her two thumbs up, saying this to her.

Hearing Qin Feng's praise, Jiang Hua smiled but didn't take it too seriously.
At this moment, Jiang Hua also looked at the person next to him.

Now that the water is gone and the armor is nearby, Jiang Hua wanted to see if it was as he had guessed.

However, he couldn't just open the coffin now. If opening the coffin caused the three of them to lose their lives, Jiang Hua would only feel remorse.

Just as Jiang Hua was feeling troubled, she heard Yun's complaints from the side.

"Why do these suits of armor have a strange smell?"

Because he pinched his nose and quickly walked away, Jiang Hua, upon hearing Yun's words, also looked at the armor beneath his feet. He picked up a piece, held it in his hand, and smelled it.

Just as Yun had said, it stank horribly, but the smell wasn't purely foul; it was more like a peculiar fragrance. After thinking for a while, Jiang Hua finally retied the armor and tied it together before putting it on.

"I think the armor might be incompatible with these smells, otherwise how could these smells not have gotten into the armor earlier?"

Jiang Hua also guessed that there were insects inside the coffin, and that these insects were responsible for carrying the nutrients that had been absorbed by the unconscious person outside into the coffin.

They carry these nutrients inside like ants.

Jiang Hua guessed that the insects didn't put the armor inside because its smell repelled the coffins.

So Jiang Hua tried putting on the armor. "Are you going to open that coffin? That's so dangerous!" Qin Feng said, looking at Jiang Hua with some concern.

"Even if you do faint, you're here for us, aren't you? Are you all slower than those bugs?"

Actually, Jiang Hua was also a little worried, but given the current situation, he couldn't very well let them go and check.

Moreover, she was curious whether what she said was really true, so Jiang Hua was even more determined not to let them go see it.

After putting on the armor and making sure he had enough of his scent, Jiang Hua slowly walked towards the coffin.

He held his weapon in his hand to prevent anything from happening.

After Jiang Hua walked up to the coffin, he carefully pried it open with his weapon.

However, it wasn't as easily pried open as Jiang Hua had imagined. The coffin was made of stone and fit perfectly.

Jiang Hua exerted all his strength to finally open a crack in the coffin, and then quickly inserted his weapon into the crack.

Then Jiang Hua slowly opened the coffin. Qin Feng and Yun watched Jiang Hua cautiously.

They were terrified that Jiang Hua might accidentally fall into the coffin, but their fears ultimately did not come true.

When the coffin was opened, Jiang Hua indeed smelled a pungent odor, a smell that truly made one's scalp tingle.

But Jiang Hua was fortunate that the smell didn't come onto her body.

Jiang Hua then discovered that his armor was also emitting a fragrance, and he immediately enveloped himself in that fragrance.

Jiang Hua didn't either; she fainted at that moment.

Then Jiang Hua saw the situation inside the coffin, and just as the man had guessed, it was filled with countless insects.

Moreover, the sheer number of these insects was enough to make one's scalp crawl. In addition to these insects, there were also some bones, but they were just bone fragments.

Therefore, Jiang Hua guessed that these insects would not even leave behind bone fragments.

Since it failed to catch any prey, it climbed directly out of the coffin.

After Qin Feng and Yun saw the insects crawling out, they quickly retreated, maintaining a safe distance from them.

At this moment, Jiang Hua also saw a key inside the coffin, next to which were a bunch of insects. Jiang Hua carefully looked at these insects.

"They're poisonous and aggressive... I have no idea how the owner of this coffin found these insects and raised them here for so many years..."

Moreover, these insects have a special characteristic: they prefer damp places and are best suited to stay in places with water.

Jiang Hua suddenly understood why sometimes the outside was covered by water, and sometimes they weren't.

These insects are likely to die if there is frequent water, but they also struggle to survive without water for extended periods. (End of Chapter)
