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

This tomb isn't actually located in any tomb; rather, the tomb itself is a giant maze!

However, this maze is relatively small in scale, and the tomb is located underground, so the maze itself is actually quite large.

Thinking of his other companions, he quickly called out.

"Chen Le, Qin Feng, Yun, where are you?"

His loud voice echoed continuously in this place, but it was like a stagnant pool, without any echo, not even the sound of the wind could be heard, completely silent in the space.

"What's going on? Why aren't they responding to me?" Jiang Hua's expression turned serious.

He groped his way toward the riverbank, trying to leave the cave, but after only a few steps, his feet suddenly sank into the ground.

There was actually a thin layer of stone wall blocking their way. It was only then that Jiang Hua realized that there was such a layer of stone wall in this place, and he had not noticed it at all.

"Could it be that the entrance to this cave is actually behind these stone walls?"

The thought immediately arose in Jiang Hua's mind.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Hua no longer hesitated and reached out to grab the stone wall.

Jiang Hua felt a sharp pain in his palm, but his expression remained unchanged; instead, a smile appeared on his lips.

The stone wall was indeed here, but its toughness far exceeded his expectations. Even if he used all his strength, it would take him a lot of effort to remove it.

It seems that this time, my luck is exceptionally good!
Jiang Hua groped his way forward along the cliff face and finally felt himself reach the shore.

At this point, his eyes finally adjusted to the darkness and he was able to see the surrounding scene.

This is a huge maze; I was right after all.

Jiang Hua continued cautiously forward. After walking for a short while, she finally saw Qin Feng, who had fallen unconscious.

He hurried over and found that Qin Feng was also in a very disheveled state. He was covered in dust, his clothes were also covered in dirt, and his handsome face was covered in dust. He looked very miserable.

Jiang Hua quickly took out a clean towel, wiped the mud off Qin Feng's body, and then covered Qin Feng's face with the towel.

Then, Jiang Hua took out a bottle of water from her pocket, intending to give Qin Feng some water to replenish his body fluids so that he wouldn't slip to the ground again.

But when Jiang Hua opened the bottle cap, she discovered that there was no water in the bottle.

"Why is there no water?"

Jiang Hua was taken aback. Then, she quickly opened the other bottle caps and found that they were all exactly the same, and the water inside had long been consumed.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Hua was stunned.

"What happened? Why is there no water in my water tank?" Jiang Hua couldn't help but ask.

Qin Feng's face also showed a hint of doubt. "I don't know either."

He frowned.

"It seems we've stumbled upon a trap set by a mastermind."

But he didn't have time to think about that now, so he took the water bottle to the river, filled it with water, and fed it to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng had also woken up by this time, but when he saw Jiang Hua pouring water into his mouth, he was dumbfounded with his mouth wide open.

"Brother Jiang Hua, why are you giving me water? I'm not thirsty, I haven't reached the point where I need to drink water yet."

"How can you recover so quickly if you don't drink water? Drink water, and you'll recover."

Jiang Hua shook his head.

"Ok."

Qin Feng had no choice but to obey Jiang Hua's arrangement and drink the water that Jiang Hua handed him.

After drinking it, he indeed felt that his strength had recovered a lot, and he seemed to feel much more relaxed.

"Let's get out of here quickly," Qin Feng said to Jiang Hua as he stood up.

Jiang Hua nodded, but made no move, which made Qin Feng look at him with some confusion.

Jiang Hua shrugged helplessly and said.

"We've fallen into a huge maze. To get out, we have to find a way. We can't act rashly. We also need to find Chen Le and Yun."

"Oh? I see."

After listening to Jiang Hua's explanation, Qin Feng nodded in understanding.

However, when he looked at this huge maze, he couldn't help but frown. Apart from a tunnel leading to the outside, the environment inside consisted entirely of huge stone chambers.

It makes it impossible for people to discern directions or find a way out.

"Never mind! Let's go out and see if this is a maze."

As Qin Feng spoke, he walked forward. His figure was very agile, indicating that he was also a martial arts expert.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Hua immediately followed.

After walking for a while, Qin Feng suddenly turned around and looked at Jiang Hua.

“Brother Jiang Hua, I remember there was a depression under our feet when we came in. Now I look at the depression and it seems like there’s still water flowing through it. Why don’t we walk through this depression?”

"Okay, then we'll do as you say."

Jiang Hua nodded quickly. This was a good idea. As long as they followed the groove under their feet, there was always a chance of survival.

“Chen Le probably isn’t here. He’s probably just like us, having fallen into this maze.” Jiang Hua said, frowning.

"Ah."

"In that case, what are we waiting for? Let's go straight out and find Chen Le." Qin Feng nodded quickly.

Jiang Hua glanced behind him at the entrance to the stone chamber.

"Is there something wrong with the road here?" Qin Feng asked, puzzled.

"When I came in just now, I felt like something was blocking my way, so I tried to probe it with my internal energy, but there was no response."

"No feedback? What's going on? Could it be a mechanism in this stone chamber?" Qin Feng was taken aback.

“No, I don’t think so. Besides, I’ve seen this kind of mechanism in ancient books, and it doesn’t exist at all.” Jiang Hua shook his head.

"That's weird."

Qin Feng was somewhat puzzled.

"Fine, let's open up this stone chamber first, no matter what. It's better than just sitting here like an idiot."

Jiang Hua said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll open it. You wait over there. This kind of mechanism isn't as simple as the ancient books you read about, so be careful not to get hurt."

Qin Feng solemnly gave his instructions.

"Well, don't worry, I will pay attention."

Jiang Hua nodded and said.

"Okay, I'll begin now. You need to pay attention to something."

After Qin Feng finished speaking, he slowly walked towards the entrance of the stone chamber.

Jiang Hua took a few steps back.

Qin Feng raised his palm and gently placed it at the entrance of the stone chamber. A surge of internal energy instantly flowed out of his body, coursing through the meridians in his palm and into the chamber. (End of Chapter)
